After Ran Fang finished speaking, someone came over with a tray and handed it to several people.
Different from the paper last time, this time it was actually a bamboo slip.
Although I was confused, I still took the bamboo slips and started reading them.
After only a few glances, several people's faces were even paler than last time.
They finally knew why it was a bamboo slip this time.
Because what is written here is that their family is changing the price of salt for personal gain, and they are uniting to raise the price of salt and destroy the salt market.
Also, members of their family had done bad things to bully men and women in the local area. Some people even killed a whole village of people for their own selfish gain. What everyone did was recorded in great detail.
Every piece of evidence here is enough to kill their entire family.
The use of bamboo slips to record this shows that the court had already noticed them before this incident.
Now that Ran Fang has taken out these evidences, the threat is self-evident!
After a long time, several people no longer had the arrogance of the past, and they all knelt on the ground, with frustration in their eyes.
Zi Junliang, who never liked speaking in front of others, straightened his back, looked at Ran Fang and said, "My Zi family has been working hard to make a living from salt for a hundred years. Now that I have given all the salt industry to Your Majesty, I will naturally look for a way to make a living." method."
"If Mr. Fusu and the commander don't dislike it, I am willing to continue to do my part for Da Qin Salt!"
"I hope that the young master can fulfill the Zi family's good wishes and leave the sale of refined salt to the Zi family!"
After saying that, he leaned down and waited for Fusu and Ran Fang's answers.
But Ran Fang closed his eyes again, as if he didn't hear anything.
No one expected this scene, especially the people from other families, who all looked at him in surprise and resentment.
Moreover, by taking the matter of selling salt into their own hands, the Zi family will be regarded as imperial merchants just like the Gu family in the future, and their status will suddenly be different.
So insidious!
What do the people behind them say? !
Sure enough, Ran Fang saw an expression of admiration on his face and praised: "The Zi family is still generally knowledgeable!"
Zi Junliang suddenly felt happy and felt a little more relaxed.
However, he still looked humble, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Commander, for your compliment."
Hearing this, Miao Yutang's pupils shrank. Was he going to sell the salt to the Zi family?
How can that work? !
"In order to support Mr. Su and command the envoys, the Miao family is also willing to do its best for the Qin Dynasty."
"The Miao family's properties are spread all over the Qin Dynasty. If the Miao family is responsible for this, I believe that the refined salt can be spread to various places in less than a month. Wouldn't it benefit the people faster?"
"Please help Mr. Su and command me to make it happen!"
After saying that, Li Gaoyi immediately spoke, "The Li family is also willing to go through fire and water for Mr. Fusu!"
Rong Ming, who had always been timid, didn't speak this time. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Ran Fang and Fusu looked at each other, their expressions seemed a little awkward.
Then Fusu turned his head and glanced at the kneeling people.
In their expectant eyes, they sighed deeply.
"Since you all know the current affairs, I can rest assured."
"As for the criminal evidence in your hands, I hope you can deal with it properly when you go back! If you commit the crime again, you will not be leniently punished!"
Several people lowered their heads at the same time and replied: "Here!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fusu, I will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the court and His Majesty!"
After hearing this, Fusu nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he continued: "The sale of refined salt should be left to the financiers."
"However, if the Rong family does not do well or harms the interests of the people, I will definitely choose again."
"I hope you will supervise me and don't forget to improve yourself."
Zi Junliang, who was originally full of confidence, turned pale when he heard this. He didn't understand why Fusu would choose Rong Ming. He was obviously the first person to support him!
Fusu ignored these people's thoughts. He stood up and walked to Ran Fang.
Seeing that Ran Fang was still meditating with his eyes closed, he whispered: "Sir, that's all."
Hearing the sound, Ran Fang opened his eyes, nodded, got up and left with Fusu.
Back at Ran Fang's house, the sophisticated look on Fusu's face returned to his humble look.
He followed Ran Fang and asked with some confusion: "Sir, why did you choose Rong Ming?"
"Zi Junliang seems to be the most loyal. When everyone disagreed before, he showed no obvious resistance."
"And after discovering that they entered Xianyang, he was the first to secretly come to me, willing to use all his family property in exchange for the short-term peace of the Zi family."
"Wouldn't it be better to use such a righteous person?"
"Then Rong Ming seems timid and afraid of getting into trouble. How can such a person succeed?"
Ran Fang stopped, turned his head and glanced at Fusu lightly.
Then he continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "How many people who can become the head of the family are not familiar with the world?"
"The Rong family was originally a small salt dealer, but later became one of the four major salt dealers in Rong Ming's hands. This is enough to illustrate his ability."
"As for Zi Junliang, since he entered Xianyang City, he has made a lot of gestures in the city. He doesn't seem to have a close relationship with anyone. He just came back to visit you."
"But the evidence that he bribed court officials is absolutely true, but when did he meet them? And how he contacted them, I don't have the slightest clue."
"This shows that this person is not as simple as he seems."
"Just now he took the initiative to run the refined salt business, and he even didn't hesitate to break up with other family members. This shows that this matter is very important to him."
"What should he do if he fails?"
Fusu thought about it carefully. He had been doing the investigation during this period, so he knew the inside story best.
Indeed, as Ran Fang said, it is difficult to find out about Zi Junliang. It seems that someone is deliberately covering up for him.
If Ran Fang hadn't sent someone to help him, he might not have been able to find any clues against him.
"It seems that Zi Junliang is indeed very thoughtful."
"Before Rong Ming entered Xianyang, he sent a letter to Mr. Wang, saying he was willing to surrender. Doesn't he have selfish motives?"
The two of them had already entered the front hall, and Fusu sat down and waited for Ran Fang's answer.
"Not bad, I can think now."
Ran Fang gave him a rare compliment, and then said, "I contacted Rong Ming before they discussed it in Langya County."
"Rong Ming is smart but also timid. It is impossible for him to take risks with the Rong family."
"So, when he receives the news from me, he will take a look at the development of the matter. If it is true that the court must monopolize salt and iron as I said, then he will definitely agree to cooperate with me and tell all the things those people have conspired with. tell me."
"At that time, as long as he shows the same hatred as everyone else, no one will doubt him."
"And if the court compromises, he can still take charge of the Rong family. If they fail, the salt sale will be handed over to the Rong family. For him, this is a sure profit."
"His selfishness is already very clear. As for the other things, there is nothing to fear."
