"Alright! Now that you all know who the enemy is, please go back and make the necessary arrangements!"
After saying this, Zhang Rang got up and left the living room. After exchanging glances, everyone else also got up and left.
The next day, after some investigation, it turned out that, just as they had guessed, several powerful local families in western Liaoning had actually sent people to intercept and buy up the coal transported by the Wuhuan people.
So the group gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with them.
Xiahou Cai, seated, snorted coldly, "Hmph~, these guys are so despicable!"
"Their goal is obvious: they intend to get the imperial court to revoke our procurement qualifications and then take their place! What do you all think we should do?"
