"Haha~! The hearts of the people in Taiyuan City are now agitated. There have been three incidents of people robbing official grain. The government's plan to calm the people's hearts with 10,000 shi of grain from the official warehouse will soon be shattered, because in less than three days, no one will be able to rob them. The people of Taiyuan City who can buy grain will definitely be unable to hold back and take the initiative to fight against the government~!"
In the secret room of Kang's mansion, a servant came in and said a few words to Kang Qu. Kang Qu looked happy and laughed loudly to everyone in the room.
"Haha! Boss An's move to remove the firepower is really clever! If the Taiyuan government has no food, it has lost the support of the people. Under pressure, the government cannot continue to block the city~!"
Kang Songping also smiled and agreed.
A wealthy businessman sitting next to Kang Songping couldn't help but said: "Haha! Once the city gate opens, we can send people back to Kang State to tell His Highness the sad news of Brother Chang'an's murder, and we can also protest to the Chang'an court against the Taiyuan government. Persecute Brother Chang'an! If the Tang Dynasty court cannot give Brother Chang'an an explanation, we will let the officials of the Tang Dynasty see the power of our nine surnames Zhaowu!"
The atmosphere in the room was peaceful and joyous. These people seemed to have just won a big victory. They all looked proud and high-spirited, which was in stark contrast to the decadence and frustration they felt when they learned in the morning that the Taiyuan government was going to open a warehouse to release grain. Compared!
And judging by the meaning behind their words, today's incidents in Taiyuan City where people were robbing government officials of food were all secretly planned by them!
Kang Qu pressed his hand and everyone became quiet. It has to be said that after this incident, Kang Qu's prestige and status among these Kangguo businessmen have been greatly improved compared to before.
"This incident is a lesson for us merchants from Kang State to teach the Taiyuan government. The current results are inseparable from Boss An's advice and full assistance. We should all thank Brother An first!"
After everyone was quiet, Kang Qu turned to face Anshun Mountain, bowed solemnly and said.
When everyone else in the room heard this, they all stood up, raised their hands to Anshun Mountain and said, "Thank you, Brother An, for your help!"
Anshunshan smiled faintly, then raised his hands and said to everyone in Kangqu: "You are not welcome! An Mou has already said before that the nine surnames of Zhaowu are connected by the same spirit. Brother Chang'an has a transcendent status in Kangguo. Among us, Among the merchants with nine surnames who were doing business in the Tang Dynasty, Brother Chang'an also had a special status. Now that Brother Chang'an was killed in Taiyuan City, An, as a native of An, should do his part for Brother Chang'an! Otherwise, wouldn't we? Let others see the joke~?”
"Brother An is right. We businessmen with nine surnames doing business in the Tang State should unite as one, otherwise we will be bullied by the people of the Tang State~? We will bear in mind Brother An's friendship!"
Kang Qu raised his hands to Anshun Mountain with excitement on his face.
"That's right! Brother An's friendship will be kept in our hearts!"
The others also raised their hands and said.
"You're all welcome!"
An Shunshan waved his hand, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "But An wants to remind you that before Taiyuan City is completely unblocked, you must not let down your vigilance. The government is not so easy to deal with! And! ...Brother Kang, are you sure the people you sent out are reliable? Will the government find us through them?"
As soon as Anshun Shan said this, the secret room instantly became quiet. After all, they are just a group of wealthy businessmen, not a group of desperadoes. They are timid and fearful at heart. Don't look at the trouble they have caused in Taiyuan City, but they They are just fanning the flames secretly. If they really want them to fight the government openly, it would be great if only one tenth of the people in this room are willing to stand up!
Kang Quran smiled and said: "Brother An, don't worry, those who are fanning the flames and inciting the people are all ruffians who have been in Taiyuan City for many years. It will not be easy for the government to catch them! And even if they are caught, they Nine out of ten of them have stayed in government cells. Facing interrogation by the police, they know better than anyone else what to say and what not to say! To put it bluntly, even if someone does not know what is good and what is wrong, they will tell the truth. The real truth cannot be found on us, because the people who are in contact with those ruffians are not from Kang's house, but my housekeeper. It took several intermediaries to contact them. The government will definitely not be able to find us. On your body!"
Hearing Kang Qu's words, those merchants from Kang State who had raised their hearts in their throats put their hearts back in their stomachs again. Anshunshan smiled at this time and said: "Okay! Brother Kang Qu is really cautious in doing things. In this case, now It can be said that the overall situation has been decided, there are still some things in An’s house, so I will go back first~!”
In order to implement the plan smoothly and prevent the news from leaking, Kang Qu suggested that everyone present should not leave the secret room for the time being. Everyone considered the overall situation and thought that once Kang Qu's plan was implemented, the city would be in chaos, and the streets and alleys would be full of chaos. Yamen, if they went out at that time, they might be exposed, so everyone agreed to Kang Qu's suggestion at that time!
Nowadays, civil unrest is rife in the city, and the overall situation has been decided. It is reasonable for Anshunshan to propose going home at this time!
Moreover, this plan was all the idea of Anshun Mountain. Kang Qu was not worried at all that Anshun Mountain would betray them. So, Kang Qu thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Brother An, please help yourself! When we succeed in seeking justice for Brother Chang'an, I will treat Brother An to a few drinks~!"
The other merchants from Kang State also echoed: "Exactly! Exactly~!"
"Haha~! An is always with you~! Everyone, An will take his leave now!"
Anshunshan laughed, said goodbye, turned around and left.
Just before leaving the secret room, his eyes suddenly changed, becoming a little playful and cold!
Kang Qu and others' assessment of the current "struggle situation" was obviously too optimistic. They had no idea what the real reason was for the government's closure of the city. The information they obtained was that the government blocked Taiyuan City in order to capture Turkic spies in the city. However, Little did they know that the government's arrest of Turkic spies was only a secondary purpose, the main purpose was to rescue Li Tai!
At present, most people in the city don't know that Li Tai was kidnapped by Turkic spies last night. It's not surprising that Kang Qu and others don't know the news!
But it was precisely because they didn't know the news that they misjudged the government's current determination. In the past, if they Kang merchants had quarreled with the government, the government might tolerate concessions out of overall considerations, but now, they If it hinders the progress of the government's rescue of Li Tai, no matter where they are hiding, the government will find them and arrest them directly based on the principle of "I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go", even if they have no definite evidence!
And Anshunshan left at this time, obviously aware of something in advance.
