Feng Ju and others listened to Han Jian's intention and wanted to give the money 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 suddenly they had to pay more than 100,000 taels of silver. They gathered the cash silver from the entire Cao Gang headquarters, but only a few thousand taels, and most of them were transported from gambling houses such as gambling houses and brothels.

Dong Sheng said: "Although we have obtained Hengye's property, the silver has long been plundered by Lao Liu and Hu Biao's people. Once they die, the silver will be robbed cleanly. How can we satisfy the government's appetite with this little money alone?"

Feng Ju looked at Han Jian and said, "I'm afraid it's just this little money now, and I can't even get rid of the people in the government."

Han Jian didn't say anything, and he couldn't make excuses for the government. What he had to do was to arouse hatred between the Cao Gang and the government first, which would help him carry out his plan to save people. This was not because he was deliberately trying, but only because the government was guilty of his own fault.

"Boss Feng, let's talk to the government officials first with these money. If they are not satisfied, we will make a long-term plan." Han Jian said.

Feng Ju nodded and asked someone to carry the money out. Not long after, Feng Ju brought the people back. The silver box was gone, which means that the silver had been collected by the government.

"Oh!" Feng Ju sighed as soon as he came back, "The government took away the silver and threatened to send someone to collect taxes in the past two days. This clearly does not give us the Cao Gang a way to survive."

Han Jian said: "If the government cannot completely cut off the cash register of the Cao Gang, they may find all kinds of excuses to come to check the cash register in the future, and this hole cannot be filled. For the sake of the brothers' meals in the future, Feng Dangjia, everyone, I have an idea to propose it and let you take a look at it. I wonder if it's good?"

"What's the idea? Brother Li might as well say it." Feng Ju looked at Han Jian with a little eager eyes.

Han Jian made his mind and after everyone heard this, there were some surprises, but more people were thinking about the feasibility of this path. The people present were also considered veterans of the Cao Gang. From the first day they followed Feng Ju, Han Jian and others to assassinate Heng Ye and grab the ship and ferry, they knew that it was a risk of wealth and honor. Although what Han Jian said was a bit extreme, it was nothing more than fighting and killing those. In their opinion, it was not unacceptable.

"Brother Li. Is it too early for us to start now? After all, the Cao Gang has just been established and has not yet developed." Feng Ju was a group of masters after all. He spoke calmly and thought carefully.

Li Gandang shouted, "Those officials still care about our brothers' lives or death? If they don't fight with them, they think our Cao Gang is easy to bully. If we come here a few more times in the future, our Cao Gang brothers will have to drink the northwest wind. Feng Dang's family, you can make an idea. This time we have a big fight, and the worst thing is to fight with the government to the death."

Han Jian said: "It's not as big as the death penalty. We try our best to hide our identities, which makes the government think that we are the remnants of Old Liu and Master Heng and are not aware of the current affairs. As long as the matter is handled properly, the government will rely on us and dare not take advantage of the Cao Gang so blatantly."

Feng Ju gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me listen to Brother Li. I will obey Brother Li's orders for everything this time. We must also 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 to confront the government, which was a difficult step. In the past, they could only bow down and become slaves, but now they can stand up and fight against the government. Even if they die, they can die standing, rather than live kneeling.

Han Jian told Feng Ju and others about some detailed arrangements, and Feng Ju and others would do the arrangements for the personnel. Han Jian, as the chief military advisor, was only responsible for making plans.

After discussing, Han Jian left the Caogang General Hall directly. He did not return to the courtyard, but walked out of the Qinhuai River and walked on the street.

Previously, Han Jian roughly learned about the current situation in Southern Qi based on Yi Die's information.

From the beginning of the fire in Xie Rumo's residence, the conflict between Xie Rumo and the Empress Dowager's party began to intensify. The Empress Dowager's party wanted to establish a relatively stable relationship with the Wei Dynasty so that the young emperor could successfully become an adult and take power, while Xie Rumo's party wanted to create disputes between the two countries and make war between Wei and Qi. In this way, Xie Rumo's party members 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 was only seven years old, and everything was taken care of by the queen. In Han Jian's opinion, the empress dowager of Southern Qi was eager to protect his calf. He had to make a rigid relationship with Xie Rumo in some matters and did something a little unwise. Logically speaking, even the empress dowager of Southern Qi was impatient and insisted on fighting to the death when the enemy was full of wings. The empress dowager of Southern Qi didn't know this, and Zhu Tongjing would remind her. But the result now is that there seem to be two courts in the entire Jinling City. Although these two courts seemed hostile, they were close comrades-in-arms standing together when it came to major events. Han Jian couldn't even make it to take advantage of the internal struggles of Southern Qi.

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

After Hengye fell, the government deliberately strengthened its vigilance in the local area. The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Military Affairs Office patrolled around, and anyone who wanted to cause trouble was caught and questioned directly.

In an extraordinary period, the government's high-pressure attitude towards the Qinhuai River line was indeed easy to calm the situation, but in a calm environment, there was also the dissatisfaction and resentment of the Caogang people. The government naturally did not take the peddlers and barrages into consideration, thinking that the Caogang could not be a major event, and at most it became a local snake in their management of the place. They would bully whatever they wanted. But they ignored the potential threat from a social group. Once a group of people gathered together to do something, it would easily burst out with powerful power.

Han Jian didn't sit for too long. His main purpose of coming out this time was to go to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion in Xicheng to inspect the situation. Since Yang Xi might be detained in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, Han Jian made many promises to bring Yang Xi back safely during this trip, so he didn't want to leave alone. He was also a supporter when he asked Yang Xi to go to Southern Qi. He originally hoped that Yang Xi could get some experience when he went south, and the empress could also use the prince to be hostage and a gentle external environment to resolve internal disputes.

Although the Northern King failed to rebellion later, the Northern King's party did not uproot the roots. The Xiao Northern King Yang Ke still stayed in charge of the north and would rebel against the court at any time, and the Western King's power did not decline at all due to the rebellion in the north. Now the Southern Qi intends to go to war with the Wei Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Yang Xi's mission is of little significance. It would be better to let the Wei Dynasty take advantage of the internal disputes of the Southern Qi Dynasty to maintain cooperation with the Southern Qi Empress Dowager and suppress Xie Rumo's ambitions.

Han Jian was not very familiar with the streets of Jinling City. Although he had seen the city map, the city map was not entirely unknown. If you want to go to the Weiwu Hou Mansion, you must remember some coordinate points. On the way, he could not directly ask passers-by the location of the Weiwu Hou Mansion.

It took Han Jian a half hour to arrive at the periphery of the Weiwu Hou Mansion and then found a teahouse to rest.

Weiwu Hou Mansion is located outside the downtown area, next to a wide street market. Han Jian sat down to drink tea in the teahouse not far from Weiwu Hou Mansion, and observed the situation of Weiwu Hou Mansion.

As Yi Die said, the Weiwu Hou Mansion was very cautious, which was obviously beyond the standard of the ordinary Hou Mansion. Not only were there soldiers guarding the gate, but also patrolling soldiers. Originally, the Weiwu Hou Mansion of the Southern Qi Dynasty had been killed for involvement in a rebellion case, so this mansion should be vacant. How could an empty mansion be so strongly guarded?

Han Jian thought that even if Yang Xi was not hidden inside, there would be secrets that Southern Qi did not want people to know. His only fear was that this was a trap set by the Southern Qi people. The people of Southern Qi knew that the Wei people wanted to rescue Yang Xi, and they had a trap to wait for the Wei people to get into it. Although this possibility exists, the possibility is not great. The people of Southern Qi probably would not set up such a trap in their own capital to attract the trap unless they were not confident in their own national defense and city defense.

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

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

"What are you doing here from afar?" It was Ke Qu'er.

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

Han Jian smiled and said, "Miss Ke is following you all the way?"

"Hmph! If the master hadn't asked me to follow you, would you think I really... what would that be?" Ke Qu'er's cheeks became a little hot when she thought of Han Jian's "rudeness" yesterday. She had to pour herself a cup of tea to drink to relieve the embarrassment in front of her.

"I'm here for some things." Han Jian didn't tease Ke Qu'er. Now he is doing serious business. He is afraid that he will make Ke Qu'er angry, so Ke Qu'er will not help him.

"Will you come here?" Ke Qu'er thought for a while and said, "Do you want to escape from Jinling City and go back to be your Eastern King?"

Han Jian smiled and shook his head, pointed to the main entrance of the Weiwu Hou 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 Weiwu Hou Mansion. Only then did she realize that Han Jian came from afar to observe the main entrance of the mansion.

"What is hidden inside, what does it have to do with you?" Ke Qu'er turned around and said with a huff. She thought Han Jian was just a pleasure to play with her, so she was a little angry.

Han Jian sighed, "Ms. Ke is probably still angry about yesterday's aphasia. However, yesterday's true feelings cannot be stopped. If Miss Ke feels that something is abrupt, she will punish her. Even if she says it directly, she will never complain."

"Who...who wants to listen to you!" Ke Qu'er said embarrassedly, "You...what is hidden in it?"

Han Jian sighed and said, "I have a friend here. Miss Ke has also seen him. He was originally an envoy to Qi Dynasty as an envoy of friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries, but was detained by Qi Dynasty. When he came, in addition to completing his mission and completing his mission, he also had to try to rescue him. Now, he may be detained here, so... he came to see him."
