Feng Ju and the others listened to Han Jian's intention to give the silver first and slowly make up for it in the future. They were also quite helpless, after all, they had just established the Cao Gang and took over Heng Ye's previous industry, and it was impossible to suddenly come up with more than 100,000 taels of silver. The cash of the entire Cao Gang General Altar was scraped together, but it was only a few thousand taels, and most of it was transported from the gambling houses and Qinglou.

Dong Sheng said: "Although we have obtained Hengye's property, but the silver has long been looted by Lao Liu and Hu Biao's people, as soon as the two of them died, the silver was robbed clean, how can we satisfy the appetite of the government with this bit of silver?" ”

Feng Ju looked at Han Jian and said, "Now I'm afraid that it's just this bit of silver, and I can't send anyone in the official mansion." ”

Han Jian didn't speak, he couldn't go to the prevarication government now, what he had to do was to arouse the hatred between the Cao gang and the government first, which would help him carry out his rescue plan. This is not his deliberate thinking, but can only be said to be the government's own sin.

"Feng is in charge, take this silver and tell the people in the government first. If they are not satisfied, we will take a long-term view. Han Jian said.

Feng Ju nodded, let people carry the money out, and not long after, Feng Ju came back with people. The silver box is gone, which means that the money has been collected by the government.

"Alas!" As soon as Feng Ju came back, he sighed and said, "The government took the money away, and threatened to send someone to collect the tax in the next two days." This is clearly not giving us a way to live. ”

Han Jian said: "If you can't completely make the government cut off the heart of collecting money from the Cao Gang, I'm afraid that they will find all kinds of excuses to come to collect money in the future, and this hole can't be filled." In order for the brothers to have something to eat in the future. Feng Dangjia, everyone, I have an idea I want to put forward, let you refer to it, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"What is the idea, Brother Li might as well say it directly." Feng Ju looked at Han Jian with a little eagerness.

Han Jian said his idea, and after everyone listened to it, there were some who were surprised, but more people were thinking about the feasibility of this road. The people who were there. can also be regarded as the veteran of the Cao Gang. From the first day, they followed Feng Ju and Han Jian and others to assassinate Heng Ye, and robbed the boat and the ferry, they knew that they were seeking wealth and danger, although what Han Jian said was a bit extreme. But it's nothing more than fighting, killing, and killing. In their opinion, it is not unacceptable.

"Brother Li. Is it too early to do it now? After all, the Cao Gang has just been established and has not yet developed. "Feng Ju is the big boss of the gang after all. He also spoke calmly and thoughtfully.

Li Dangdang shouted: "Those who are officials still care about the life and death of our brothers? If you don't fight with them, they think that our Cao Gang is easy to bully, and if we come here a few times in the future, our Cao Gang brothers will drink the northwest wind. Feng is in charge, you can make up your mind, this time we will do a big job, the big deal is to fight with the government to break the net. ”

Han Jian said: "It's not to the point where the fish dies and the net is broken, we will try our best to hide our identities, so that the government thinks that we are the remnants of Lao Liu and Heng Ye and don't know the current affairs." As long as things are handled properly, the government will rely on us, and they will not dare to exploit the Cao Gang so blatantly. ”

Feng Ju gritted his teeth and said, "Then listen to Brother Li, this time I will obey Brother Li's dispatch." We also have to let the government know that the Cao Gang is not easy to bully. ”

Seeing Feng Ju's resolute appearance, Han Jian knew that these rough men were the first step out of the confrontation with the government, which was a difficult step. In the past, they could only grovel and be slaves and maids, but now they can be regarded as straightening their backs to fight against the government, even if they die, they can be regarded as standing death, not kneeling and living.

Han Jian told Feng Ju and others about some detailed arrangements, and Feng Ju and them would do the work of arranging manpower, and Han Jian, as the chief military division, was only responsible for putting forward plans.

After the discussion, Han Jian left the Cao Gang General Altar directly, he did not go back to the small courtyard, but walked out of the Qinhuai River and walked on the street.

Previously, according to Yi Die's intelligence, Han Jian probably learned about the shape of the current Southern Qi.

From the time he encountered a fire in Xie Rumo's mansion, the contradictions between Xie Rumo and the Queen Mother began to intensify. The Empress Dowager's party wanted to establish a relatively stable relationship with the Wei Dynasty, so that the little emperor could follow his adult to pro-government, while Xie Rumo's party wanted to create a dispute between the two countries and make Wei and Qi go to war, so that Xie Rumo's henchmen could continue to develop in the military and political circles, control the entire government, and suppress the Empress Dowager's party.

After all, the little emperor is only seven years old, and everything is taken care of by the empress dowager. In Han Jian's opinion, the queen mother of Nanqi can also be regarded as a calf protector, and she has a rigid relationship with Xie Rumo in some things, and it is a little unwise to do things. It stands to reason that even if the Empress Dowager of Nanqi is anxious, she has to fight to the death while the enemy is full-fledged, this truth is not known to the Empress Dowager of Nanqi, and Zhu Tongjing will remind her. But now the result is that there seem to be two imperial courts in the entire Jinling City, although these two imperial courts seem to be hostile, but when it comes to major affairs, they are close comrades-in-arms who stand together. Han Jian wanted to take advantage of Nanqi's infighting, but it didn't work.

Han Jian arrived at a tea house near the street, ordered snacks and tea, and sat down to watch the officers and soldiers coming and going on the street.

After the fall of Hengye, the government deliberately strengthened local vigilance. The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolled the surroundings, and if anyone wanted to make trouble, they were directly arrested and tortured by the government.

In an extraordinary period, the government's high-pressure posture on the front line of the Qinhuai River is indeed easy to calm the situation, but in a calm environment, it also hides the dissatisfaction and impatience of the Cao Gang. The government has always regarded those peddlers and pawns in its eyes, thinking that the Cao Gang cannot be a big deal, at most they have become the head snake of the place they manage, and they can bully as much as they want. But they ignore the potential threat of a social group, and once a group of people get together to do something, it is easy to explode into a powerful force.

Han Jian didn't sit for too long, the main purpose of his coming out this time was to go to the Xicheng Weiwu Marquis Mansion to investigate the situation on the spot. Since Yang Xi may be detained in the Mighty Marquis Mansion, Han Jian has promised that he will bring Yang Xi back safely, so he doesn't want to leave alone. When he asked Yang Xi to send an envoy to Southern Qi, he was also a supporter, and he originally hoped that Yang Xi could get some experience when he went south, and at the same time, the empress could also use the crown prince as a hostage to solve internal disputes in a calm external environment.

Although the rebellion of the Northern King failed, the party of the Northern King was not uprooted, and Yang Ke, the little Northern King, was still sitting in the north and would rebel against the imperial court at any time, and the power of the Western King had not been weakened in the slightest due to the northern rebellion. Now that the Southern Qi is interested in going to war with the Wei Dynasty, in this situation, the significance of Yang Xi's envoy is not great, it is better to let the Wei Dynasty take advantage of the internal disputes of the Southern Qi Dynasty, maintain cooperation with the Empress Dowager of Southern Qi and her party, and suppress the ambitions of Xie Rumo and her party.

Han Jian is not very familiar with the streets of Jinling City, although he has seen the city map, but the city map is not unknown after all, if you want to go to the Weiwu Hou Mansion, you have to remember some coordinate points, and on the way he can't directly ask passers-by the location of the Wei Wu Hou Mansion.

It took half an hour for Han Jian to reach the periphery of the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion, and then found a tea house to rest.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Wei Wu is located outside the downtown area, next to a wide street market. Han Jian sat down to drink tea in the tea house not far from the Weiwu Hou Mansion, and observed the shape of the Wei Wu Hou Mansion by the way.

Sure enough, as Yi Die said, the mighty Hou Mansion was heavily guarded, which obviously exceeded the specifications of the ordinary Hou Mansion, and there were not only soldiers guarding the door, but also soldiers patrolling. Originally, the Mighty Marquis Mansion of Southern Qi had been destroyed because of its involvement in the rebellion case, this mansion should be vacant, how could a vacant mansion be so vigilant?

Han Jian thought about it, even if Yang Xi was not hidden inside, there would be secrets that Nan Qi didn't want people to know. The only thing he was afraid of was that this was a trap set by the people of Southern Qi, and the people of Southern Qi knew that the Wei people were going to rescue Yang Xi, and they were waiting for the Wei people to drill it. Although this possibility exists, it is not very likely, and the people of Nanqi probably will not set up such a trap in their own capital to lure the king into the urn, unless they are not even confident in their own national defense and city defense.

Han Jian sat down as if drinking tea leisurely, holding a teacup in his hand, as if he was thinking about things, and he sat for a long time.

Han Jian was a little leisurely, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, and then sat down at his table.

"What are you doing all this way here?" It's Ke Qu'er.

At this time, Ke Qu'er's face was a little red, her cheeks were also very tight, and she looked a little restrained, as if she didn't want to get too close to Han Jian.

Han Jian smiled: "Miss Ke is following the next way, right?" ”

"Humph! If it weren't for the master asking me to follow you, would you think I was really ...... What's that? Ke Qu'er thought of Han Jian's "rudeness" yesterday, her cheeks were a little hot, and she had to pour herself a cup of tea to drink to resolve the embarrassment in front of her.

"I'm here for something." Han Jian didn't tease Ke Qu'er, now was the time to do the right thing, he was afraid that Ke Qu'er would be annoyed, and Ke Qu'er would not help him at that time.

"Will you be okay here?" Ke Qu'er thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to escape from Jinling City and go back to be your East King?" ”

Han Jian smiled and shook his head, pointed to the main entrance of the Mighty Marquis Mansion not far away, and said, "I want to know what is hidden inside." ”

Ke Qu'er followed Han Jian's gaze and looked at the Mighty Marquis Mansion, and she knew that Han Jian had come all the way to observe the main entrance of this mansion.

"What's hidden in there, what does it have to do with you?" Ke Qu'er turned her head and said with a somewhat angry expression. She thought that Han Jian was just entertaining her, so she was a little angry.

Han Jian sighed: "Miss Ke is probably still annoyed by yesterday's speechless words. However, if Miss Ke feels that there is something abrupt in the next, she will be punished, although she will say it bluntly, there will be no complaints. ”

"Who...... Who wants to listen to you this! Ke Qu'er said with an embarrassed face, "You ...... What the hell are you saying is hiding in this? ”

Han Jian sighed and said: "I have a good friend here, Miss Ke has also seen him, he was originally an envoy to the Qi Dynasty as an envoy of friendly relations between the two countries, but he was detained by the Qi Dynasty. Before coming down, in addition to completing his mission and completing the mission mission, he also had to try to rescue him. Now, he's probably being detained here, so ...... I came to take a look at it in the next place. ”

Ke Qu'er was a little surprised: "You mean your six princes...... Prince? (To be continued......)
