After Ying Zheng left, Ran Fang and Fu Su were the only ones in the cell. The two sat there looking at each other.
Ran Fang was very natural and didn't think this matter had any impact on him.
But this matter is not that simple for Fusu.
He sat there, looking at Ran Fang intently, wanting to speak again and again but not knowing what to say.
After a while, Ran Fang seemed to have just noticed that Fusu was still here. He raised his head and asked quite unexpectedly: "Master Fusu, why are you still here?"
"how?"
"Do you still need to monitor me now?"
Having already guessed Ying Zheng's identity, Fusu's identity is naturally self-evident.
This made Fusu even more embarrassed. He felt a little uncomfortable facing Ran Fang when his identity was suddenly exposed. Now Ran Fang's words directly stated his purpose in Xianyang Prison, which made him a little embarrassed. .
Even though he felt helpless, he had no way to defend himself. He could only raise a standard smile, hoping that Ran Fang would not care about this matter.
"Haha, sir, what do you mean by this?"
"When I first stayed in Xianyang Prison, I just wanted to stay here and communicate more with him because of my overwhelming respect for him."
"I'm worried that my husband will have a grudge against me because of my identity, and he did such a thing out of desperation. I hope that my husband won't mind."
After he finished speaking, Ran Fang had no intention of paying attention to him, which made Fusu a little frustrated.
Fusu is a calm and upright person, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. As long as he makes a mistake, he can admit it without hesitation.
Seeing that Ran Fang's attitude was so tough now, he didn't feel any discomfort in his heart. He also understood that it was his deception that made Ran Fang feel grudge. He should take the initiative to apologize for this matter.
He sat up straight, saluted Ran Fang seriously, and said with a very sincere attitude: "Fusu admires Sir's abilities very much. It is Fusu's honor to be able to coexist with Sir."
"What happened before is Fusu's fault. I would like to apologize to you sir."
Seeing that Fusu was so sincere, Ran Fang did not continue to make things difficult for him.
He then raised his head, looked into Fusu's serious eyes, and burst out laughing.
"Although you may seem a little stupid sometimes, you are indeed more sincere in your behavior."
"I won't care about this matter anymore."
Hearing this, Fusu breathed a long sigh of relief.
During this period of time, his attitude towards Ran Fang was that of a teacher and a friend. If Ran Fang broke off friendship with him because of this incident, he would feel a great sense of loss in his heart.
"Thank you sir."
Ran Fang waved his hands, seemingly not taking his words to heart.
He just looked at the cell and asked again: "When are you going to leave Xianyang Prison?"
Seeing that Ran Fang still wanted him to leave, Fusu's originally relaxed mood became tense again.
When his father left just now, he didn't say anything about letting him out of prison, but that meant that he could leave if he wanted to.
This was embarrassing. He still wanted to stay with Ran Fang in Xianyang Prison because he felt that this was the time when he was most relaxed. After he got out, he would have to worry about Da Qin's affairs.
But even so, he knew that he had to go out.
There are so many things happening in the court now, and Xianyang Prison is going to be turned into a pro-military captain's palace. I am afraid that none of the ministers in the court will agree to these things.
"Tomorrow."
Ran Fang nodded, without further urging, and immediately started doing his own things, without changing his own affairs at all because of these changes.
…
The second day, Xianyang City.
Early in the morning, the people in the city have begun to busy themselves with life, and the streets that were originally filled with smoke are gradually filled with people.
None of the people who were busy at this moment noticed that Qin troops were guarding the bulletin boards everywhere in the city, and behind them were new notices that had just been posted.
I don't know how long it took, but he was still passing by the accounting office. He walked past the announcement office with an abacus in his hand. He saw that where the announcement was originally written, there was something he had never seen posted on it. There were actually words on it. .
With curiosity, he stepped forward and saw that it read: "The imperial examination will be held in Xianyang City after May. Those who come to participate will be tested. Those who get the top five can enter the court and become officials. Anyone who has Anyone with abilities, regardless of their status, can participate.”
At the bottom of these words, there is a square seal with the words "Ordered by God, you will live forever".
He immediately recognized that this was a decree written by His Majesty himself.
However, he was still a little unbelievable about this kind of thing. He looked at Qin Bing next to him and asked cautiously: "Dare I ask, is what is written on this yellow list true?"
"Can this imperial examination system really allow you to become an official in the dynasty? Anyone with any status can participate?"
This question instantly attracted a lot of people. People who were both literate and illiterate gathered in front of the bulletin board and looked at the words written on it.
Everyone was talking a lot and speculating on the authenticity of this matter.
Seeing that some people came to see him, they all looked incredulous. Qin Bing nodded with a serious expression.
One of the leaders shouted: "Of course it is true!"
"His Majesty personally ordered it, who dares to lie?!"
The little accountant's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw himself already dressed as an official in rich clothes.
But after looking at it for a long time, there was sadness in his brows again.
He approached Qin Bing and asked, "Master, what exactly is this test?"
"It's not written on this, so let's be prepared, right?"
Obviously, Qin Bing didn't know about this issue. He was just conveying His Majesty's orders. As for the other things His Majesty didn't say, he wouldn't talk nonsense.
He could only shake his head and said: "Your Majesty has a profound meaning!"
After saying this, he stood motionless. Some people came up to ask, and some people who had just heard these words explained.
People who were still a little confused at first were now sure that Da Qin was really going to hold the imperial examination system. Everyone was thinking about what talents they had to stand out in this imperial examination.
After all, there is nothing written on it, so people with some ideas or ambitions feel that they have hope, even if they only choose the top five as officials.
They all think why it can’t be them?
Even people I know who are acquaintances are going to participate, and some people will make some mocking remarks.
Even so, it does not affect people's curiosity and the intensity of discussions about it.
"Dong——"
"Dong——"
While people were discussing, a loud drum beat sounded very harsh and abrupt on the street. People stopped in their tracks and stared enviously at the direction from which the drum beat came.
After all, everyone knows that with such loud drums, someone has been made a high official again. This is a unique sense of ceremony in Da Qin.
The last time Lian Liang was granted the title of Xianyang Order, it was only Zhao Gao who took the canonization order and led a group of people directly to the Lian Mansion. There was not much movement in Xianyang City.
But this time is different. There are few people in the court who can match such a big movement.
Just in front of people's eyes, a team of more than fifty people came out of the palace in a mighty manner.
Everyone in the team held something in their hands and followed the leader in front of them happily, walking through the streets of Xianyang City.
People had not seen this kind of situation for a long time, and they all followed the team curiously, wanting to see who had such an honor.
What was unexpected was that this team actually walked in the direction of Xianyang Prison.
"Xianyang Prison?!"
