Speaking of accidents, Han Jian didn't expect that he would be plotted by Xie Rumo on the second day after entering Jinling City. Now the internal struggle of the Southern Qi Dynasty is also very fierce, Han Jian does not want to get involved, he now focuses on rescuing the crown prince Yang Xi and returning to China to complete his own mission.

Yi Die said: "In addition to the crown prince, the Qi Dynasty sent our envoys back to Jiangbei earlier today, and it is estimated that in two or three days, these people will be able to return to the territory of our court." It's just that...... His Royal Highness's deputy envoy, Sima Gongzi, was detained by the Qi people and was not repatriated for the time being. ”

"You said Sima Yi was detained?" Han Jian frowned.

"Yes. The Qi people forcibly detained Sima Gongzi on the grounds of misconduct, did His Highness try to rescue him together? Yi Die asked.

Han Jian sighed, now that he is unable to protect himself, it is not easy to rescue Yang Xi, and it is too difficult to add a Sima Yi. Anyway, Sima takes it as his responsibility to walk the world and be an unrestrained hero, and nothing will happen to him in Nanqi for the time being. Because he is not a celebrity politician in the first place, it doesn't make much sense for the Nanqi people to detain him.

"No need first, it's important to rescue the prince." Han Jian said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yi Die took out the entire layout map of Jinling City to Han Jian, including the streets and garrisons, which can be described as very detailed. Han Jian didn't expect that the Wei Dynasty's meticulous work would be so comprehensive, and Yi Die was only in charge of the case of the chaotic party before, but after coming to Jiangnan, she was able to take over the intelligence work in the enemy country so quickly, which couldn't help but make Han Jian feel that she was not simple.

"You mean that the crown prince is now detained in the Mighty Marquis Mansion in the west of the city?" Han Jian frowned and looked at the city defense map.

"Yes." Yi Die said, "The Weiwu Marquis Mansion is the mansion of the Wei Wuhou of Qi. However, Wei Wuhou has been dead for many years, and the mansion has been vacant. However, in recent days, it has been heavily guarded, and we have inspected all the official residences in the city, and we think that this is the most likely place. ”

Han Jian nodded. Because the place where Yang Xi was detained was the biggest secret of the Qi Dynasty, even if the Wei Dynasty wanted to investigate, it could only rely on guesswork.

A mighty marquis mansion that has been abandoned should not be heavily guarded, which means that there must be a problem inside. In addition to imprisoning the crown prince Yang Xi, there may also be other reasons, but in order to complete the task. Han Jian also had to try.

"His Majesty had instructed his subordinates. If His Royal Highness is in danger in the Qi Dynasty, he will secretly escort His Highness back to China. It is not appropriate for His Highness to participate in this operation in person. Yi Die saluted.

"I'm not involved?" Han Jian smiled coldly, "Something happened." Are you waiting? ”

"Hmm." Yi Die nodded.

"No need. The prince and I are old friends. And when I left Luoyang. He once promised His Majesty that he would bring the prince back to China safely. If this mission cannot be completed, how will I face my majesty when I go back? ”

Yi Die said: "But Your Majesty doesn't want His Highness to be in danger as well. His Royal Highness was buried in the fire in Nanqi, and at this time, I am afraid that it has been transmitted back to Luoyang, and if His Majesty blames him, his subordinates will also not be able to bear it. ”

Han Jian glanced at Yi Die, this woman with a bit of mature charm is really "good at being a person". This is not clear to say, you don't have to do dangerous things, we can do it? But if that's the case, then why is she so anxious to find him? Didn't he know the whole plan, if the action failed, he could also bear the main responsibility afterwards?

"The prince's safety is important, tell me your plan in detail, and take a closer look at it first." Han Jian said.

Yi Die immediately explained the entire rescue plan in detail. According to Yi Die's thoughts, since Yang Xi was detained in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, and the Wei Dynasty did not have many people in the territory of Southern Qi, he had to take advantage of tricks to save people. First, let people mix in with cooks or handymen and maids, do internal responses, investigate the situation inside, and then pass guò inside and outside, take fire attack as the first, transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then wait for the opportunity to kill through a side gate of the Weiwu Hou Mansion to save people.

In order to save people conveniently, Yi Die didn't know where to get the layout of the courtyard of the Mighty Marquis Mansion. The entire Weiwu Hou Mansion seems to be under control, but a mansion composed of many courtyards, which is guarded by heavy soldiers inside and outside, and can't know the situation inside, it will be like catching a blind inside, and it is not easy to save people.

"It's a good plan." Han Jian nodded and said, "But according to your plan, wouldn't it take a year and a half to prepare for saving people?" ”

Yi Die lowered his head and said, "Therefore, my subordinates hope that His Highness will return to China first." ”

"No need. I have a more direct approach. Han Jian said.

"Huh?" Yi Die looked at Han Jian with some surprise.

Han Jian directly clicked on the location of the Mighty Marquis Mansion in Jinling City and said, "Rush in and rescue people." ”

Yi Die originally thought that Han Jian would come up with some good idea, but it turned out to be such an unrealistic idea, which made her really feel surprised. Based on her previous understanding of Han Jian, although this little Dongwang is young and vigorous, he can be said to be a powerful character, a powerful character, how could he come up with such a clumsy idea?

"Your Highness, my subordinates don't quite understand. How to ...... Go in and save people? Yi Die thought that he was thinking too one-sided, so he asked carefully.

"Don't understand? Kill through the main entrance and get people out, it's as simple as that. Han Jian said.

Yi Die smiled bitterly: "But Your Highness, we don't have many people, if we attack like this...... It's just going to make us lose a lot ......"

Han Jian said: "Sometimes it doesn't take too many people to attack, the main thing is to make the scene bigger, so that the people of Nanqi can endanger themselves." ”

Yi Die thought for a while and said, "My subordinates still don't understand His Highness's meaning. ”

Han Jian sighed and said, "You go and buy a batch of gunpowder to make zuò fireworks first, remember that the amount must be large." On the day of the operation, a few people were sent to light the gunpowder in front of the palace of the Marquis of Weiwu, creating chaos. As soon as the people of the Qi Dynasty are in a hurry, they will definitely transfer them, and then we will start on the road. ”

Yi Die finally understood that Han Jian's so-called strong attack was not actually a strong attack, but still had resourcefulness. However, Yi Die is still a little incomprehensible, with the heavily guarded people of Nanqi, even if they transfer people away, it is very difficult to start on the road.

"But Your Highness, how many men do we need in this case?" Yi Die asked.

"You go and prepare first, and as for the manpower problem, you don't have to worry about it for the time being." Han Jian said, "If there is a real need, I can find some brothers to help in the Cao Gang. They won't help save people, but it's possible to create some chaos so that we can do it. ”

Yi Die then remembered that there was still the Cao Gang behind Han Jian, and now the Cao Gang is developing quite rapidly, in just a few days, the Cao Gang has already controlled many local industries, and the manpower has grown from more than 200 people at the beginning to nearly 2,000 people, involving peddlers, pawns and some coolie industries. With the help of these people, it was indeed of great help to rescue Yang Xi.

"Then the subordinate will go back first." Yi Die said, "Your Majesty should not stay here for a long time, your subordinates can find Your Highness, and I believe that Xie Rumo's people will also find Your Highness." Your Highness's safety is paramount, and you should not stay here to risk your life. ”

"You go back first. I don't need your mind for the time being. Han Jian said.

"Yes." Yi Die left his contact information and left in a hurry to make arrangements.

When Yi Die left, Han Jian suddenly felt that the "ease" of the past few days had passed. Originally, killing Heng Ye, building the Cao Gang, and setting gang rules to develop the Cao Gang was already a very cumbersome matter, which made him too busy for a few days, but compared to military affairs, these are pediatrics, just like the spice on his life.

On the second day, sure enough, Ke Qu'er didn't come. Han Jian estimated that Ke Qu'er was feeling ashamed of his "rudeness" yesterday at this time, and did not dare to show up to meet him.

This is also the effect that Han Jian is pursuing, but there is a plan to rescue Yang Xi, but Han Jian also hopes that when he rescues Yang Xi, Ke Qu'er will come out to help. After all, Ke Qu'er has superb martial arts, and with her, she can withstand thousands of troops.

Han Jian couldn't help but sigh, he drove people away when he didn't need them, and wanted her to come back when he used them. It's a little too impersonal.

However, Han Jian's main purpose is to subdue Ke Qu'er, so that he can have one more free helper. However, Han Jian also knew that although Ke Qu'er seemed to be a little uninvolved in the world, she even had a little daughter's temper and self-willedness. But the political stance also seems to be clear. Ke Qu'er's political position is to listen to the words of her master, Zuo Gu, and whatever her master says is what she says, and it is difficult to get Ke Qu'er's full support for the time being.

Han Jian was thinking about things, Ma San hurried to Han Jian's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was a little anxious and said: "Hall Master Li, the big thing is not good, the government sent someone over to raise taxes." ”

"Raise taxes? What do you mean? Han Jian frowned and looked at Ma San.

"They said that Heng Ye owed a lot of taxes before, and now that we have taken over Heng Ye's industry, let us make up for the taxes, Feng Dangjia originally thought it was nothing, but when I saw the number, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how did our Cao Gang come up?" Ma San said in a hurry.

Han Jian smiled coldly, saying that the tax increase, or the tax owed by Heng Ye, was simply an excuse. Now the government thinks that the Cao Gang is correct, and the management of the place is treated as an ATM, and it is trying all kinds of ways to squeeze the Cao Gang. In the eyes of the government, the Cao Gang is just a group of peddlers and pawns, and they dare not confront them head-on.

"Let's go and have a look."

Han Jian said, went out with Ma San, and went directly to the Cao Gang General Altar.

When they arrived outside the main altar, they saw many officers and soldiers standing at the ferry, and the Cao Gang brothers did not even dare to unload the boat.

Han Jian didn't say anything, and went directly into the main altar. At this time, in the general altar, some of the main figures of the Cao Gang are there, and they are worried one by one, because the amount proposed by the government is really huge, and these taxes are not included in the filial piety, that is to say, additional expenses are required, if the Cao Gang cannot pay, it means that they will turn their faces with the court, and now the Cao Gang has just been established, and the people's hearts are unstable, and it is not the best time to face the enemy with the court.

"Brother Li, you're here." When Feng Ju saw Han Jian, he hurried forward as if he had seen a savior.

Han Jian nodded and said, "I probably heard what Elder Ma said about the situation. ”

Feng Ju asked, "What does Brother Li think?" ”

Han Jian said: "The lion of the imperial court opened his mouth, it is estimated that he had long expected that we would not have so much silver, and wanted to strip us of money little by little. Let's go as they want and satisfy their appetite first, but when they eat it, they will soon spit it out! (To be continued......)
