Chapter 361: Hostages?

"Little old man, I have a reluctant request," before Ye Tao and the others and Kong Yan finished that part of the secret conversation, and prepared to let the family members of the Kong family who were waiting anxiously outside and the more vigilant ones enter the living room.

"Oh?" Ye Tao asked with interest, "Please speak." ”

"Xiao Lao'er's long-term head Sun Kongfan should be regarded as a good talent. It's a pity that this mind is not in business, and there is no interest in reading or calligraphy, painting, poetry and literature, that is, there are more places to run, and the friends are broad, perhaps, I can help the proprietor. I don't know, would the proprietor want to bring this kid along? ”

The current identity of "Chen Kai", and the few words revealed when he talked to Kong Yan just now, are enough for Kong Yan to understand that the resources he can mobilize now, the manpower and material resources he can use, and how rich the various situations he has been able to learn about are by his side, and if he sends someone by his side, Kong Yan must not be naïve enough to learn about "Chen Kai" through this Kong Fan, on the contrary, this is to send a hostage, a hostage who is important enough for Kong Yan to be by the side of "Chen Kai". Let them be able to clamp down on Xingsifang.

"Kong Fan?" Ye Tao smiled and said, "I should have seen him in the tea shop, with a lot of his friends." Okay, this guy is interesting, you can ask him to come to the teahouse to find me. Don't let anyone else know about this. ”

Kong Fan is indeed like Kong Yan said, articles and business are not successful, if you want to describe it, you can say that this person is an adventurer, explorer, traveler and the like. Xiling is mountainous, cutting the plains and basins into pieces, but also making Xiling have many inaccessible dead ends, many strange and undiscovered places, and many rare animals and plants are still on the edge of people's sight. Every time Kong Fan goes out, he can find some interesting people, things, and things back, although he is not a child of the family, but with his extensive knowledge and eloquence, he is like a fish in water in Anqing's circle. Many young ladies whose net worth is not too high and unattainable are even more secretly committed to Kong Fanfang. This guy is a very interesting guy indeed.

"Little old man saves." Kong Yan hurriedly responded: "The big things of the owner are not joked. ”

After Ye Tao and the others left, Kong Yan immediately summoned the children of the Kong family and those servants who served in the suburban villa, Zhuang Ding, and ordered that today's matter should not be spread outside. The children of the Confucian family know more or less when they become adults that the Kong family was established by Chen Jia, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, to prepare for the great cause of restoring the country, but they know the importance of it, but the servants in those families are not so tight-lipped. After all, the Kong family is not the kind of big family whose rules can be strict, and not long after, "Lu Zhen" visited Kong Yan and met Kong Yan for two hours, and it spread in a small circle.

In the past, everyone thought that Lu Zhen was just a relatively well-known down-and-out businessman, with a little bit of meaning to revive the family business, but the secret meeting with Kong Yan can now greatly enhance the perception of Lu Zhen by the people around him. Kong Yan, as the helmsman of Xingsifang, whether it is financial resources or influence, at least the current situation, is countless times stronger than Lu Zhen. But since Lu Zhen can be accepted by Kong Yan, it is obvious that everyone will have a higher opinion of Xingsifang.

However, this kind of high and low look is of little importance to Ye Tao and to the business of Yuanyuanyuan. On the one hand, there are many repeat customers in places like tea shops, and once there is an attendance rate of more than 70%, the store staff will no longer try to attract customers, but will try to entertain the current customers well. Keeping the store comfortable and quiet is far more popular with the staff than being full. After all, Yuanyuanyuan is aimed at a relatively high market group, and the people who come are all people with a little money, and the average single consumption is still relatively high. On the other hand, it is also because as Ye Tao continues to advance the things that are now being arranged in Xiling, Ye Tao and the people under him may have to run away at any time. They are really planning to act against Nanshan.

As for the special battalion, they had slowly dug the underground passage into the soil about a foot away from the standing warehouse, and with a little more force, they could touch the inner wall of the standing warehouse, but it was at this time that they were more and more afraid to make a mistake, and instead of speeding up the progress, they had more and more converged the speed of your excavation, reducing the speed to the point where it would hardly cause any sound. Naturally, they can still pick up a little speed during the day, after all, the noisy street market itself is the best cover. And now, Guanshengyuan's biscuits have begun to fully enter the stage of day and night rush work, although they do not do business outside of Anqing, but there are always people who buy them in bulk. Without affecting retail, the fighters of the special battalion are happy to turn a blind eye. Although the imitation of Guanshengyuan quickly appeared, the business was completely inferior to the "employees" of Guanshengyuan, whose minds were not in business at all.

Now, the soldiers of the special battalion are not afraid to dig the last bit of depth and empty the entire standing warehouse, but they need to wait for a good time, not only to empty it, but also to leave nothing behind. They had to organize a place to transport and store large quantities of silver. This was not an easy task, but they quickly gained strong support from the Intelligence Agency. Ye Tao has already told Cao Pojun and others about this matter in private, as long as the standing treasury can be obtained, there is no need to worry about official matters, naturally Sun Boping will handle it clearly with skillful methods, and he can also add a little more authority to Sun Boping. And Guanshengyuan, if it can continue to exist without leaking the horse's feet, it is still a good base. On the one hand, it can continue to accumulate wealth, and on the other hand, it is also a very stable foothold in Anqing. The micro-retail of Guanshengyuan is too developed, and the flow of people coming and going provides unlimited possibilities for the transmission of information and forwarding. The Intelligence Bureau is now very keen to continue to take over this place after the special battalion has left. Naturally, Ye Tao also agreed. This can be regarded as selling Nie Rui's face. In such a lucrative place, almost a single shop in Guanshengyuan can bear all the expenses of the intelligence bureau's three non-communicating intelligence pipelines in Anqing.

The Intelligence Bureau had prepared a considerable number of men and a considerable number of locations for the Guansheng Garden, ready to disperse the storage of those silver taels, some of which could only be used for a certain number of hours. During the day, they replenish their drinks and ingredients, and prepare for their evening business. those houses awaiting demolition; The new courtyard of the rich and noble people is decorating and whitewashing, or the old courtyard is resting, etc., there are endless patterns. Some of them were under the control of the Intelligence Agency's personnel, while others were the slightest bit of a risk not to allow unrelated people present to access their deposits. However, in general, this organization of the intelligence bureau was excellent.

As for the time that the fighters of the special battalion are waiting for, it is also coming soon. Now the Daoming Sect, which is a little embarrassed, will organize a huge festival in Nanshi, and a large number of gifts and food will be distributed at that time, which is estimated to attract quite a lot of people to watch the ceremony. It goes without saying that Nanshi will be busy at that time. The venue of the puja is still a little far from the Nanshi Tax Yamen, where the standing treasury is located, and it will still be very noisy at that time, but it will not be crowded with cars. All in all, this should be the best chance. The festival held in Nanshi was held to commemorate the so-called birth of the Mixed Yuan Jun, but the Mixed Yuan Hall, the main altar of the Daoming Sect, was destroyed, and the reconstruction work is still being carried out intensively, and it is not necessary to build it in two or three years. The Daoming Sect didn't have the powerful construction ability of Yip's workshop, nor did they have the construction technology to use reinforced concrete instead of wood as the price of beams, and the preparation materials alone were enough for them to work for several years.

When the Special Battalion and the Intelligence Bureau were actively cooperating, Ye Tao also fell in love with this Dao Ming Sect's final reluctance to be held in Nanshi. At that time, there will be many core figures of the Daoming Sect in attendance. Although Ye Tao didn't want to kill people on such an occasion and make the whole city a lot of money, maybe a few people would be trapped, but it was possible to find ways to make the festival a little ugly. In addition, it was the person in charge of Nanshan Xing, who they were dealing with in the first place, and a few people also came to Anqing this time to participate in the Dharma and cheer for the Daoming Sect, which was now a little embarrassed. Ye Tao was wondering if he could use his brains on these people and feel a little threat when he came to Nanshanxing. When Kong Yan spoke, Ye Tao was not prepared to really knock Nan Shanxing down. Actually, it's not something that can be seen in the short term, but in the long run, the hand must be moved. Not only to deter those merchants who fell to the Daoming Sect, but also to express their stance to those merchants who were waiting, but also for Ye Tao's ultimate goal of gradually revealing his identity. He's not here to travel after all. He had to disclose the identity of "Chen Kai" and let himself fall into a little "trouble" that he could control.

"Are you ready?" Ye Tao asked, "Don't really make a big deal out of it." There is a lot of mess to do here in Nanshi. If the matter is too big and the special battalion cannot be connected, the losses will be great. ”

Facing Cao Pojun, who came to contact the work, Ye Tao rolled his eyes, a little jealous. Cao Pojun was not so unreliable when he was in charge of the internal guards, and he was quite stable in his work. However, since he began to come to Xiling to be fully responsible for field work, he has become more and more brave and sophisticated.

Cao Pojun smiled and said, "The Sect Demon Regiment is an expert in dealing with the Daoming Sect. Adults can rest assured. ”
