Seeing that Ran Fang did not pursue further, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Ran Fang would continue to ask questions. He was not a liar. If the secret was exposed, his sin would be great.
Last time Gu Zongmin came over and said that his son had been assassinated and his life was hanging by a thread.
Now that Ran Fang has been assassinated again, it is difficult not to think of these two things.
In order to show his sincerity to Ran Fang, Fusu immediately said: "I will send someone to the Gu family, and Gu Zongmin will definitely come."
This can only be done by Fusu. After all, only Fusu's people come back to deliver food to him every day.
As for those people from Ran Fang, it was because of their presence that Ran Fang could passively communicate with them.
Now that he heard what Fusu said, Ran Fang also understood that he was still too restricted in prison.
If you want them to do something, you always have to wait until someone comes. This is not a good thing for you.
He should still have his own people, so that if something happens, he can learn about it in time. Otherwise, what he says in prison is just talk on paper, and he doesn't know the changes in Daqin now. This is too restrictive for him.
"Okay, you ask the Gu family to come over now."
"Just say, I have something urgent to come to see them."
…
After leaving Xianyang Prison, Zhao Gao was about to return to the palace, but was stopped at an intersection.
"Master Zhao, my master invites you."
Standing at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Gao glanced at the carriage parked inside and vaguely saw the housekeeper of Feng Mansion, then he nodded and walked inside.
When he walked to the carriage, he bowed to the carriage and said in a very respectful tone: "I have met the right prime minister."
The person inside had no intention of showing up. He coughed slightly before saying, "Come up."
Zhao Gao felt this familiar routine and complained in his heart, do they have to learn this kind of thing?
Last time it was Li Si, this time it was Feng Quji. Couldn't the two of them find another place to whisper?
He had to learn to be on the carriage, and now he had a subconscious reaction when he saw the carriage.
Complaints are complaints, but he still stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.
"Right Prime Minister."
"Well," Feng Quji's attitude was much more indifferent, and there was no expression on Zhao Gao's face.
After he sat down, he coughed slightly outside and heard the soldiers outside taking a few steps away.
"Did something happen in Xianyang Prison?"
After asking this question, Zhao Gao became more certain that the Mo family's box was sent to Ran Fang by him.
But he didn't understand. What kind of climate could a box have?
"nothing."
"Someone gave Ran Fang a Mo family gadget. I don't know what it is made of. It looks very exquisite."
"Could it be...that it was sent by your right minister?"
While speaking, he kept looking at Feng Quji, wanting to see his reaction.
Especially from the moment he got on the carriage, he felt that there was something different about Feng Quji today, especially his aura that made him feel like he was going to go crazy at any time.
But luckily, Feng Quji didn't come towards him.
And he did not disappoint, confessing to giving gifts to Ran Fang.
Feng Quji glanced at Zhao Gao with a vague look, and said calmly: "I asked someone to give it to me."
"There are always rumors about Ran Fang's talent. I just want to test it out."
"If he can dodge the poisonous arrow, he will be my opponent. If he can't, then it can only be said that his life is short-lived."
When he said this, the contempt in his eyes made Zhao Gao admire him a little.
Only when you truly have the right can you have such deep confidence when speaking.
This is what he wants to learn, and it is also the reason why he and Feng Quji cooperate.
"The right Prime Minister is far-sighted and I really admire him."
"But after all, the eldest young master is also in prison. If Mr. Fusu is accidentally injured, then the matter will be difficult to deal with."
Hearing what he said, Feng Quji raised his eyes rarely and glanced at him, but there was a strong sense of irony in his eyes.
"Zhao Gao, there is no need in front of me."
"If you really hurt Fusu, you might not even have time to laugh, right?"
Seeing that Zhao Gao was about to defend himself, Feng Quji raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Okay, I called you here today because I didn't want to argue with you about this matter."
"The corruption matter has been revealed, but my investigation is different from what you said."
"Zhao Gao, how dare you fool me?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao knew that Feng Quji must have found out something, and it was his fault, otherwise he wouldn't have this attitude.
Although he had a guess in his mind, he was still a little confused about this matter. He didn't know what Feng Quji had found out.
"Right Prime Minister... why do you say this?"
"Ha," Feng Quji sat up slightly and looked at Zhao Gao with a dangerous look, which made Zhao Gao feel guilty.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Those who are corrupt are all yours, right? Those who are corrupt are also in your pocket, right?"
"You think too highly of yourself if you want me to take the blame."
Although his words were full of questions, Zhao Gao could hear his gritted teeth.
He knew that this matter could not be hidden from Feng Quji, but he did not expect that it would be found out so quickly.
Originally, he was planning to wait until things progressed. Even if Feng Quji found out something, he would not be able to get out by then.
He was shocked for a moment, but his face did not show any panic, and he even smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened.
"What did the right minister say?"
"This old slave is just working for the Second Young Master. There are some things that he can't do anything about, so he should be the first to bear the brunt. There's nothing to say about this matter."
"This is not a big deal. If it weren't for the flooding in Surabaya County, no one would mention it."
"When the Second Young Master comes back and the matter in Surabaya County is settled, who will mention this matter?"
This was the thought of everyone involved in the corruption case. After all, no one had any hope for Hu Hai. Everyone knew that all the pressure on disaster relief was on Xu Yuwen.
But Xu Yuwen has a small official position and is a bit cowardly in his behavior, so he will not be a threat to anyone at all.
Feng Quji listened to Zhao Gao's words and understood what he meant in an instant. The current investigation into corruption was just to give an explanation to His Majesty.
This also shows from another aspect that Zhao Gao is now completely undisguised, and he stands by Hu Hai wholeheartedly.
"Oh, you are quite calculating."
"Even me, you are included in this."
"You must also have the list of corrupt people. I'll leave this matter to you. I won't interfere anymore."
"I can pretend that I don't know what happened this time. It won't be so easy next time."
There was no trace of anger on Zhao Gao's face, and he still maintained a light smile, as if he had expected this result.
When Feng Quji finished speaking, he glanced at the guards around him and then said: "Right Minister, are you sure?"
"If His Majesty really investigates the matter of corruption, will the Right Prime Minister be able to escape?"
"Is the Zhonglang General Xu Yu a member of the Right Prime Minister?"
"I heard that he has a good relationship with the person in charge of water conservancy. If this matter comes to His Majesty's ears, I am afraid that the lieutenant general will not be able to take advantage of it."
"The Right Prime Minister should know that there are too many people involved in corruption, and no one can escape the involvement if it is really investigated."
"How about we end the investigation here?"
This was a naked threat. Feng Quji's power in the court was no longer what it used to be. There were only a few people who could be called his, but they were all bullied by Li Si and it was difficult to show their presence.
This Xu Yu was someone he had buried before, but he was discovered by Zhao Gao unexpectedly.
Moreover, what he investigated was all about Zhao Gao. He thought he could get hold of Zhao Gao, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gao had already investigated him.
It seems that during his absence from the court, Zhao Gao's power has indeed exceeded his imagination.
"Since you said so, I will give you some face."
"Before the Second Young Master comes back, this matter will be explained to His Majesty and no one will be involved."
