On Li Junxian's side, everyone started to act separately according to the tasks assigned to him, and in Taiyuan City, there was also a force in the darkness!

"... The Tang Dynasty government was too bullying. They first put Brother Chang'an on a hat of colluding with the Turks, and then seized Brother Chang'an's iron shop. Then, Brother Chang'an was actually blocked by someone under the escort of the Wang family! Humph! In my opinion, the Taiyuan government is in a rapport with the Wang family and wants to take this opportunity to occupy Brother Chang'an's iron shop!"

In the west of Taiyuan City, Jiningfang, Kangfu, and an underground secret room, Kangqu and several middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes sat around a round table, accusing the atrocities of the Taiyuan government in anger:

"Who doesn't know that Brother Chang'an's iron shop forged the most weapons in the world? Before this, the Wang family had been coveting Brother Chang'an's iron shop for a long time. This incident was inseparable from the Wang family. The Wang family in Taiyuan is a thousand-year-old clan in the Central Plains. The local government has always taken good care of him, so the governor's office covered up the crimes for the Wang family and prevented me from participating in this investigation!

What's even more hateful is that they also blocked Taiyuan City. I applied to leave the city and return to Kangguo to inform Brother Chang'an's family of the bad news about Brother Chang'an's murder. The governor Wang refused to agree. Poor Brother Chang'an's lifelong impatience. Now he is not only dying unknown, but also suffering such grievances, which really makes me sad!"

Kang Qu was filled with righteous indignation and looked full of grief. When he talked about his grief, he couldn't help but "dance with his hands and feet". After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel silent.

After a long time, one of the middle-aged men in a rich and beautiful purple dress bowed and said:

"I have heard about Brother Chang'an's affairs yesterday, but at that time, the martial law in Taiyuan City was not convenient for me to go out. I never thought that Brother Kang Qu was running around for Brother Chang'an alone. I was so ashamed of my brother!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they also bowed to the man in purple to express their feelings.

Kang Qu quickly waved his hand and said, "This is something that Taiyuan government has done too much. What do you do with Brother An? Don't blame yourself!"

The man in purple is named Anshunshan. He comes from Anguo among the nine surnames of Zhaowu. He has a very high status in Anguo. He has been involved in various businesses such as grain, cloth, silk, pearls, jade, and treasures, inns and restaurants. His business is spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. He did not settle in Taiyuan City. He just happened to come to Taiyuan City to discuss a business a few days ago. Unexpectedly, he encountered Taiyuan City lockdown. Now he wants to leave the city but can't go out!

An Shunshan's right thumb and index finger pinched the jade ring of his left thumb, and frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although An is not a member of Kang State, the nine surnames of Zhaowu are all in common. Brother Chang'an's status in Kang State is extraordinary. We people with nine surnames who do business in Tang State often rely on Brother Chang'an. Now he is killed inexplicably. You must not just let this matter go!"

The man in brown clothes sitting at the top of the left side of Anshun Mountain couldn't help but say, "But according to Brother Kang Qu, the murderer of Brother Chang'an is likely to be the Wang family in Taiyuan. The Tang people have a saying that strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. The power of the Wang family in Taiyuan City is deeply rooted. Even the Taiyuan government is standing on their side. How can we quell the injustice for Brother Chang'an?"

This person's name is Kang Songping, and he is also from Kang Guo. In fact, except for Anshun Mountain, the others invited by Kang Qu today are all Kang Guo merchants in Taiyuan City. Kang Songping is the owner of Hu Yue Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Taiyuan City. He is very rich!

"A strong dragon won't suppress the local snake? Humph! That's the dragon that's not strong enough!"

An Shunshan gently stroked the jade ring on the thumb of his left hand and snorted coldly:

"The nine surnames of Zhaowu are in common. The nine surnames of us have made our business in various countries over the years. The food, cloth, inns and restaurants in many countries are under the control of our nine surnames. Where are we not respected? Have we ever been bullied like this?

Brother Chang'an is not only in Kang's Kingdom, but also in the Nine Kingdoms, and now he dies in Taiyuan in an unknown way. The Taiyuan government will give us an explanation no matter what, otherwise what kind of face do we, the nine people, have to do business outside?"

Kang Songping's expression changed slightly when he heard this. After he hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What should we do in Brother Yi'an's opinion?"

“Ha~!”

An Shunshan chuckled and said, "Today, Brother Kang Qu invites you all over. I believe Brother Kang Qu has already had a solution, right? How can An take over the master?"

Kang Qu hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother An is just a latecomer. What qualifications do you have to make an idea for you? I'm asking you all to come here today, just to work together and discuss a solution. We are both people of the nine surnames. We can't watch Brother Chang'an die unjustly without doing anything, right? Brother An has been traveling around the world and has a wide range of businesses. He is knowledgeable. If you have any ideas, please give me some advice!"

Kang Chang'an's status is actually very special. Because he is the brother-in-law of Prince Kang, relying on this relationship, he almost became the person in Kang'an's affairs. Kang'an, who were doing business in the Tang Dynasty, all came to worship the "pier" of Kang Chang'an. Even many of the Kang'an's businessmen's business in the Tang Dynasty had to go through Kang Chang'an's hands.

Now that Kang Chang'an is dead unexpectedly, Kang Qu has become aware of his intention. He wants to replace Kang Chang'an and become the new person in Kang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Before that, he must lead Kang'an merchants to do something for the dead Kang Chang'an to accumulate a certain reputation!

"Brother Kang Qu said! Boss An, you are knowledgeable. What should we do now to calm the grievances of Brother Chang'an, and I would like to ask Boss An to give me advice!"

Kang Songping bowed to Anshun Mountain at this time and agreed.

"Yes, yes! Please give me advice from Boss An!!"

In the secret room, the rest of the people bowed.

"Well! Since Brother Kang Qu said that, then An should throw away the bricks and attract jade!"

Seeing this, An Shunshan shook his head and said helplessly: "A moment ago, Mr. An also said that we have made our nine surnames business in various countries and regions over the years. There are especially many nine surnames doing business in the Tang Dynasty. Now Brother Chang'an is dying unknown, but the Taiyuan government has been reluctant to give an explanation. What we can do is to use the resources in our hands to protest!

Everyone here has various businesses in Taiyuan City, including many people who do grain and restaurant business. Now the gates of Taiyuan City are closed, and people inside cannot go out, and people outside cannot enter. The major shops in the city will soon be short of supplies. What we have to do is to cover the rice and grain in the warehouse from today and not sell a single grain! Not only will you not sell it, you will also take out some money to buy all the grain from other grain stores in Taiyuan City! In this way, Taiyuan City will be in chaos!"
