The affairs in the court were complicated, and few people knew about Hu Hai's affairs, so people now focused on the imperial examination system.
Although it will be some time before the imperial examination system is held, many people have already come to Xianyang and want to find out whether this matter is true or not.
There are also people who don’t have the slightest bit of writing in their hearts, but they also wonder if they can find a hole and find themselves some errands to do.
Therefore, the city of Xianyang is very lively now, and even the inns in the city are in high demand, and even the woodshed has become a place to stay.
With the sudden influx of so many people, there were a lot more things going on in the city, which put a lot more pressure on the Xianyang Order.
Lian Liangcai had to deal with many chores every day, and he lost a lot of weight.
Early in the morning, he stood at the gate of Xianyang Prison, looking in the direction of the door without saying a word, as if he was looking at something.
It's just that his thin figure seems to be about to collapse if the wind blows, which makes people inevitably worry that something is wrong with him.
Qi Cao, who was following him, saw Lian Liangcai's eyes filled with distress. Seeing that he had been standing there motionless, he stepped forward with some doubts.
"Sir, this servant is going to knock on the door right now."
"No."
Lian Liangcai shook his head, with some hesitation and a look of confusion in his eyes.
"When I was in Xianyang Prison, I was favored by the commander, but I never thanked him when I was released from prison."
"Now that the commander is gaining momentum in the court, there are many people who want to curry favor with him, but I come here at this time. I'm afraid they will think that I am just like those people, thanking guests behind closed doors."
These words made Qi Cao stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the adults in his family, who had always disliked relationships, would be troubled by such things.
It seemed that he had grown a lot in Xianyang Prison after being wrongly accused that time.
In this way, he was a little happy.
"Sir, please relax."
"When the Lord was in prison, I also gave some gifts to the commander."
"Later, when the commander was promoted, your Excellency also sent your servants to send congratulatory gifts. I believe that the commander must have known about it."
"Besides, I am here today not for personal matters, but for the stability of Xianyang City. I believe the commander will not embarrass you."
"Besides, the commander is not the kind of person who commits crimes and violates laws. He will definitely not hold grudge against you for this."
These words made Lian Liangcai feel relieved a lot. He nodded fiercely, then raised his head and walked towards the gate of Xianyang Prison.
As soon as I walked to the door, I didn't expect the door to suddenly open from the inside.
This all startled Cao Yangyun who came out of it, and he couldn't help but hide back.
After seeing the person clearly, he retracted his feet with confidence.
"Ahem."
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, pretending that nothing happened, staring at the person in front of him angrily, and said in a very unhappy tone: "Who is here?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
This tone was really not very good, but Lian Liangcai's face showed no sign of anger at all. Instead, he looked at Cao Yangyun apologetically.
Qi Cao, who was standing behind him, saw that his elder was being bullied, so he immediately took a step forward and faced Cao Yangyun directly at the door.
"My lord is a good and honest man from Xianyang. I have something to come to see you today, the commander. Please let me know."
"It turns out to be Xianyang Order."
This time it was Cao Yangyun's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect that this person was also an official.
But his temperament was too approachable, but he didn't notice it.
Now that his identity is clear, he can't continue to be so unreasonable.
He asked someone to open the door, took a step forward, straightened his clothes slightly, and saluted Lian Liangcai.
"My servant is really blind and did not recognize your identity. Please atone for your sins."
First he named someone he didn't know, and then he took the initiative to apologize and salute, making it hard for people to find anything wrong.
However, Lian Liangcai didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and he never planned to turn against Ran Fang. He would not take this matter to heart.
He smiled harmoniously at Cao Yangyun, and then said, "It doesn't matter."
"Please inform me."
Speaking of wanting to see Ran Fang, Cao Yangyun lightly scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
He raised his head and looked at Lian Liangcai with some embarrassment.
"Well...my master is not here yet."
"If you two want to see him, you still have to wait for an hour."
"An hour?!" The voice that exclaimed was Qi Cao.
He had been with Lian Liangcai for a long time, always watching his family get up before dawn, wash up, and then go to the Yamen to handle political affairs.
Not only Lian Liangcai, but also all the ministers in this court did not get up early. Even if they did not go to the morning court, they would go to the yamen they were responsible for to show their benevolence and diligence.
It is rare for an official to come to the Yamen so late and make people wait for another hour.
"Sir, how about going to your residence to see the commander?"
"good."
Qi Cao and Lian Liangcai thought the same thing. They both felt that although Ran Fang was lazy and not diligent, it was time to get up at this time.
If you go directly to the commander's office, you might be able to see him.
After saying that, the two turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Cao Yangyun stopped the two of them and took a few steps forward anxiously.
"Sir, if you are not in a hurry, why not wait here?"
"When the commander arrives, I will inform you in time."
After saying that, he bent down and made a gesture.
"My lord, please!"
Seeing this, Lian Liangcai did not insist and followed Cao Yangyun into Xianyang Prison.
He guessed that Ran Fang definitely didn't like people coming to his house, so he didn't think much about it.
However, after getting closer, the dazzling decoration here made him concentrate for a moment. It had changed drastically from the last time he was imprisoned!
Especially the thing that can directly see things in the house through the things on the wall is even more bizarre.
"What is this?"
Upon hearing Lian Liangcai's question, Cao Yangyun immediately stopped and remembered his family's instructions, no matter who came to Xianyang Prison, he must receive them.
And the glass on this wall needs to be introduced carefully.
"Sir, this object is called glass. It was specially found by the commander to be used as a window."
"This glass is not easy to make, but it can also block wind and rain. It is most suitable to be used as a window. You can also see the scene inside through the window. It is really wonderful."
"And it won't get wet from wind and rain, and it can make the whole house look brighter."
"The most important thing is that this glass is the same thing as the utensils in Liuguang Pavilion. It is very valuable."
Lian Liangcai, who was still somewhat interested at first, lost all his curiosity and interest when he heard the last sentence.
There was also some pain in his expression. When he looked at the glass, his eyes seemed to see something disgusting.
"It's so true."
"It's true that I underestimated the commander."
"I thought that the commander, like me, had the safety of the world at heart, but I didn't expect that I was wrong about the person!"
"Uncle Qi, let's go!"
