Chapter 121: The Faithful Confucian Daoist
Kong Ke retreated safely from the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Gang promised right, the door was open, and there was no ambush.
After coming out, Kong Ke took a deep look back at the door of the Zhou Mansion and then turned around and left.
"Altar master, his subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't done things well!" Kong Ke returned to the small courtyard in the west of the city, entered the burly young man's room, lowered his head, and said ashamedly.
After listening to Kong Ke tell him what happened today, the young man smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Kong, there is not much hope for this matter, and we are just doing our best!"
"Alas...... I really didn't expect that Zhou Gang, who was righteous and cloudy, would become like this now!" Kong Ke sighed.
"Hehe, now that he is the commander of Zhichong, he is no longer the poor boy he was back then, his status has changed, this idea is naturally different, we want to rely on just a few words to move him. The young man said calmly.
He actually knows that although his Uncle Kong is good at everything, his kung fu is high enough, and his brain is good, but sometimes he can't let go of the friendship in his heart, and when facing Zhou Gang, he will inevitably have some illusions, and he doesn't do exactly what he tells him, thinking about this weakness is also one of the reasons why he has not been able to improve his martial arts for so many years, but Uncle Kong, as his elder, is not easy for young people to say anything.
"Altar Master, what should we do now?" Daoist Kong also knew that it was difficult for him to be truly ruthless in the face of Zhou Gang, but he couldn't ruin the altar master's plan for his own personal feelings, so he had to hand over the power to decide.
"It seems that I was too hasty in Zhou Gang's matter before! In this way, let's put Zhou Gang's matter aside for a while, anyway, we can't rush it. The young man said to Kong Ke with a smile, with a kind of generosity that took all the mistakes on his head.
Now he has too few chips in his hand! It is impossible to form an effective restraint on Zhou Gang, let alone make him obedient, and Uncle Kong in front of him has not yet made up his mind to completely break with Zhou Gang, so this Zhou Gang's matter can only be put aside.
And after hearing that the altar master put down Zhou Gang's matter first, Daoist Kong also felt a sense of relief in his heart
"By the way, what happened to Uncle Kong's investigation of the large pile of copper coins?" said the young man, changing the subject.
"This is a bit eyebrow-raising, but this matter was not found by his subordinates, but said by others in an open and honest way. Kong Ke shook his head helplessly and smiled.
When the young man heard this, he smiled curiously and asked, "Oh, what happened?"
"That's right, early this morning, the wine shop that Xiao Si said last night pulled all the large copper coins out of the city, and there are fifty carts!" Kong Ke replied with a smile.
"Where's the city?" the young man asked, stopping his laughter and frowning.
"Go out from the West Gate and go all the way to the northwest, it should be to Wuyue Town to find a boat!" Kong Ke replied with a sigh, he was busy looking for Zhou Gang today, and he only paid attention to Liu Jin's convoy at the beginning, watching them go all the way to the west, and they took the avenue, so he guessed that the other party must be going to Wuyue Town.
"And then, do you want to inquire about the rest of the matter?" asked the young man, frowning even deeper.
Kong Ke also noticed the abnormality of the altar master, and immediately realized that he might have missed something, so he quickly replied: "Yes! I sent out a person who has been following behind, and I think it won't be long before the latest news comes back!"
Kong Ke's prophecy soon came true!
"Altar Master, Military Master, it's not good!" a young man dressed as an ordinary Lifu panicked into the room where the two were talking, and shouted loudly at the same time.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Kong Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him when he saw the person he had sent out to inquire about the news running back like this.
"Strategist, it's terrible! The guy who transported the copper coins actually procured all kinds of goods in Wuyue Town, and now he has spent a lot of copper coins!" The person sent out by Kong Ke was a clever guy, and he was suddenly shocked, but he was still calm and quickly finished the news that came in.
"Why are you procuring goods?" asked Kong Ke confusedly.
When the young man heard the news, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then exclaimed, "Hehe, this person is a good method!"
"Altar Master, what the hell is going on?" Kong Ke saw that the altar master had already understood, and hurriedly asked.
After all, Kong Ke is just a Jianghu person, although he is smart, he has no experience in these businessmen, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to return to God for a while.
The young man smiled and replied, "The owner of this liquor shop has received such a huge amount of copper coins for some reason, and has made such a big noise, and attracted so many eyes, that it is impossible for him to carry it away quietly. Therefore, it was transported to Wuyue Town in a bright light, and the goods were purchased with great fanfare, and all the copper coins were converted into goods, so that those who wanted to do something to the copper coins suddenly lost their goals, and they could quickly get rid of everyone's sight. ”
"Then what should we do? This copper coin is gone, aren't we happy for nothing?" After Kong Ke heard it, he couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "Alas...... Knowing this, we should have started immediately to snatch the copper coins from the convoy at the door first. ”
"Hehe, Uncle Kong is talking nonsense again! If we do it last night, we will have to leave Yuzhang City today and never show up again!" The corners of the young man's mouth rose and he laughed softly, at this moment, from that handsome face, the corners of his mouth, and his eyes, there was a touch of rare style, but this sudden style came and went quickly.
Kong Ke was said this, his old face turned red, and he said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Yes! We may be able to hide the money of the government after robbing it, but if we rob these rich people's money, these guys will not have to dig three feet into the ground to find us out!"
Kong Ke was just shocked by the sudden disappearance of this large amount of money from his eyes, but now that he calms down, he thinks about it, isn't that the case! The government's money is the government's money, and if it is lost, it is just a few scapegoats, and most people, especially for those who are specifically investigating the case, are actually nothing to do, so they naturally will not investigate carefully. But these families are different, after all, the money is their own, and they will feel distressed if they lose it, and the impact on their reputation is not small, so they will naturally work hard to investigate.
The two are completely different in attitude, plus the strength of the family is actually deep-rooted, if Kong Ke really snatched the copper coin from the hands of the family last night, now they should really escape from Yuzhang City!
"Uncle Kong is also in a hurry!" the young man smiled and said a word of relief, and then continued: "Actually, this goal is not lost! Those people can't grab it because even if they snatch the goods back, they won't have a market, but we are different! These ships and goods are not money when they arrive in our hands! And we should really thank people, if we rob a lot of copper coins, how to transport it is really a problem, now it's okay, grab the ship with the goods, we can directly pretend to be merchants to ship things out, which is convenient and safe!"
As soon as Kong Ke heard the young man's words, he immediately laughed and said, "It's still the altar master's far-sighted vision!
"Uncle Kong, you're making fun of me again! I don't believe you didn't think of this!" the young man retorted with a smile.
"Haha, haha, altar master, when are we going to act?" Kong Ke laughed a few times, covered the young man's words, and hurriedly asked the young man with a look of asking for instructions.
The young man shook his head helplessly, his own Uncle Kong was consolidating his authority all the time, even if he sacrificed himself to deliberately pretend to be dull.
"Let's do it! Send people to keep an eye on them first, they can't stay in Wuyue Town all the time after they have purchased a boat and cargo, and when they set sail, let's find an opportunity on the water to do it!" the young man thought for a while and said.
"Where is the specific, please ask the altar master to make it clear!" Kong Ke asked with a bowed face, looking obedient to others.
The young people no longer bothered about these things, and Uncle Kong's painstaking efforts could not be in vain! Then he said in a commanding tone: "Wait until they get out of the lake mouth and into the Yangtze River!"
"Your subordinates have orders!" replied with a serious look.
Immediately, the young man's order was conveyed, and the whole courtyard gradually had some slight light sounds from the silence just now, and there were some shadowy figures shaking in the small courtyard, and this light sound lasted for a while before disappearing, and at the same time, the figures in the small courtyard also faded completely, and the whole small courtyard returned to the deep silence just now.
Then Kong Ke walked out of the small courtyard, walking on the street of Yuzhang City alone, wearing an old but clean robe, dusting a floating dust in his right hand, Shi Shiran walked on the street, with his thin but strong figure and the handsome face that could be vaguely seen, there was also a trace of fairy wind and bones.
It's just that at this moment, Kong Ke didn't have the heart to appreciate the naked eyes of the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street, so he subconsciously let go of his steps in a hurry, and his speed suddenly increased.
The small courtyard where they are located is very close to the west gate of Yuzhang City, and when they get out of the square gate where the small courtyard is located, they turn a corner and arrive at the street where the west gate of Yuzhang City is located.
Now it is the afternoon, there are a lot of people on the street, and there are a lot of people gathered in the city gate hole of the west gate of Yuzhang, there are merchants and pedestrians, noisy and noisy together, the speed of the crowd is very slow.
It's just that this qiē can't stop our agile Daoist Kong, I saw Daoist Kong swaying left and right in the crowd, and after a while, he came to the guard at the city gate, and the guard saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe and knew that he was a monk and cultivator, and he didn't carry any goods on him, so he was alone, and then let him go.
Daoist Kong walked out of the west gate, and after recognizing the direction, he strode straight towards Wuyue Town, which was still in front of him just now, and disappeared at the end of the road in an instant......
