"What else can we do? Should we go against Elder Song's words and take action against those merchants privately?"

The first person to speak said, "Why not?"

"I'm going to take action against those merchants, as long as I'm careful and don't leave any evidence behind."

"Even if they guess it was us, what can they do to us?"

"Without evidence, I'm not afraid even if they bring the matter before Elder Song or His Majesty."

"Besides, Mr. Song has always been on our side. Even if something happens, Mr. Song can handle it."

When the others heard this, they didn't react for a moment.

"ah?"

"Are you really going to take action against those merchants?"

"But didn't Mr. Song tell us not to mess around?"

“You…you mustn’t…”

Look at how cowardly these people are, the man said impatiently.

"What are you afraid of?!"

"You are just cowards!"

"Haven't we already taken action against merchants? It won't hurt to do it once or twice."

"It's just that I was named an imperial merchant and received a plaque."

"Look at how cowardly you are."

"They are just a group of merchants. Even if they have the word 'emperor' in their name, how noble can they be?"

"Aren't they still going to be trampled under our feet and be at our mercy?!"

After hearing this, the others began to waver.

Seeing this, the man quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Have you forgotten how servile those merchants were before us?"

"Have you forgotten how those merchants, whose money we plundered and whose shops we occupied, dared not speak out, but were angry?"

"Think about it again, the merchants today..."

"Think about their smug faces when they were named Imperial Merchants."

"And when you received the plaque today, you looked so smug. Can you tolerate that?"

"Can you still hold it in?"

"Do you still want to watch them step by step, climb over our heads and shit and piss on us?!"

The others were shocked!
