"General, you were looking for me?"
A few moments later, Lin Jiang walked in and cupped his fist to Li Junxian.
Li Junxian turned around and asked, "You gave that list to Governor Wang. What is the situation in the Governor's Residence? Have all the people on the list been captured? "
In the morning, when Li Junxian learned that the grain stores in the city were suddenly short on grain, he had ordered Lin Jiang to secretly investigate with two hundred cavalry. Of course, the main target of the investigation was the Kang Kingdom merchants led by Kang Qu. After all, the men Li Junxian had sent to monitor Kang Qu had heard Kang Qu tell his wife that he would work with other merchants to raise the price of grain. Thus, when the grain stores in the city were suddenly short on grain, Li Junxian instinctively thought of Kang Qu's group!
Once Li Junxian had Lin Jiang find the relevant clues, he informed Wang Liaoyuan and had him send bailiffs to arrest all the suspicious people and throw them in jail.
Currently, Sourcepeak City was in a state of emergency. If they wanted to rescue Li Tai, a stable city environment was a must. Therefore, at this time, the government would rather catch the wrong person than miss out. Otherwise, if these "unstable elements" were allowed to stir up trouble in the city, Sourcepeak City could easily fall into chaos!
"General! I have just received news that Arrester Feng of the Provincial Governor's Office has arrested all the Kang Kingdom merchants and suspicious officials of Taiyuan Prefecture, as well as the suspicious generals of the Bing Province Barracks. Now, they have all been detained in the prison of the Provincial Governor's Office, awaiting interrogation!
In addition, the Governor's Residence has put up new notices throughout the city to pacify the people and set up many grain distribution points in the western part of the city. Bailiffs have also been stationed there to maintain order. The people of the city are lining up, and no one is fighting for grain! The vast majority of the people who were tempted to fight for grain have also returned the grain to the government! "
Lin Jiang clasped his fist and bowed.
Fang Gongteng and Han Lizheng were both stunned by Lin Jiang's report. They had not expected so many things to happen in Taiyuan City in just half a day. Moreover, Li Junxian had silently made so many arrangements. It seemed like Taiyuan City really was surging with undercurrents!
"All the Kang Kingdom merchants on the list have been arrested? So quickly? "
Li Junxian was taken aback by this news, not daring to believe it.
In his opinion, since those merchants of the Kang Kingdom dared to hoard food and incite the people, they must have made preparations in advance to prevent the government from easily finding them. So he initially expected the government to spend a lot of effort to catch Kang Qu and the others, but the final result was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Lin Jiang replied, "According to the information we've gathered, the merchants of the Kang Kingdom were all gathered in an underground secret room in Kang Qu's mansion today. They seemed to be plotting something and were caught red-handed by Constable Feng!"
"Hmph! This is called the evils we bring upon ourselves, we can't live! "
Li Junxian coldly snorted, and then his eyes focused as he sternly said, "Since all the Kang merchants have been captured, who was that Hu merchant who just entered Tongfu Inn?"
Naturally, no one could answer this question. After a few moments of silence, Li Junxian said to Lin Jiang, "Immediately go to the Governor's Residence and personally interrogate Kang Qu and the others. Interrogate them about their plans and all their accomplices. I feel like that Hu merchant who went to Tongfu Inn today was one of them who escaped the net!"
"Yes!"
Lin Jiang clasped his fist and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Li Junxian suddenly thought of something and called out to Lin Jiang. "Also, inform Governor Wang that he must strengthen the prison guards. No matter what, he must keep an eye on Zhao Deyan. Nothing can go wrong!"
Lin Jiang was taken aback. Although he didn't know why Li Junxian had suddenly brought this up, he still clasped his fist and said, "Yes! General! "
Seeing that Li Junxian had no other orders, Lin Jiang turned and left.
