As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Fusu who was sitting in the carriage, were stunned.
No one has received news about this matter, and the people looking for Hu Hai have not sent back any news. Why did he suddenly appear in Xianyang City?
When Lian Liang heard this, he glanced in the direction of Fusu and saw Gan Pu shaking his head towards him.
Suddenly he knew for sure that this was just a slander from that person.
So, he straightened his back again and glanced at everyone present.
"As we all know, Mr. Hu Hai is providing disaster relief in Sishui County. How could he appear in Xianyang City?"
"Isn't this a slander from someone with good intentions?"
"I would like to ask, where did you get this news? Is there any evidence?"
When Hu Hai and Xu Yuwen set out, they were quite vigorous and traveled a lot along the way. Most people also received the news.
Now Lian Liang asked, and they were also in the crowd, looking for the person who just said Hu Hai was here.
But how could that person dare to say that?
Not only is he talking here just for taking people's money, but if he reveals the person behind it, I'm afraid he will die without his body intact.
At this moment, he could only lower his head, fearing that someone would point it out to him, and even try to reduce his sense of existence.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Lian Liang nodded calmly and looked away from that person.
"You have also seen that the person who just spoke does not dare to speak anymore at this moment. This is enough to show that he deliberately provoked a dispute."
"I hope you won't be fooled. This is just a trick of someone with good intentions."
Seeing this, everyone present also nodded.
When they came here, they were deceived by others. Now that the person who caused trouble is gone, what are they still doing here?
Suddenly, some people began to prepare to leave.
The person who had been talking wanted to say something more, but suddenly two people came out of nowhere, covered his mouth and quietly took him away.
Lian Liangcai, who had been paying attention to him, was staring at that person closely when his sight was suddenly disrupted by the chaotic crowd.
When he looked over again, the man was gone.
He was thinking about that person's appearance and wanted to check it out when he went back!
The person behind it must be found out!
Passing through the layers of people, he walked firmly in the direction of Fusu.
Standing outside the carriage, he saluted Fusu respectfully: "I have met Mr. Fusu."
"Well, come up."
Stepping on the footstool beside him, Lian Liang carefully stepped onto the carriage and sat opposite Fusu.
As soon as he sat down, he spoke: "Master Fusu, I must have heard what those people just said."
"There is definitely someone behind this who is adding fuel to the flames. The minister just now has been sent to find someone, and this matter will definitely come to light!"
"But... Hanmo Villa is almost full, and people are still coming. Sooner or later, these places will not be enough."
"What should we do then?"
"There is still some time before the imperial examination, and the food for so many people... I'm afraid the Chendi Yamen can't be responsible for it."
This time, the expression on Fusu's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be bothered by the question at all.
He took out a folder from his sleeve, with words written all over it.
This was written based on the methods provided by Ran Fang, and some details were added to it.
"Let's see if this method is feasible?"
"If we continue to implement this, I'm afraid the number of people taking the imperial examination will be reduced by half."
"However, this matter still needs to be carefully considered, and there must not be any favoritism."
Lian Liangcai took it with both hands and carefully read the content written on it.
He raised his head and looked at Fusu in disbelief, as if he didn't expect Fusu to have thought of so many things.
Although he never bothered to curry favor with high-ranking officials, Fusu's performance these few times was indeed enough to make him admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"Young master is so far-sighted, I really admire you."
"Now that the young master has found a solution, I can feel at ease."
"But when will this early selection start?"
"If anything goes wrong, these people will probably cause trouble collectively, and it will be even harder to deal with."
Fusu also thought about this. When he saw those people being so concentrated, he suddenly understood what Ran Fang said.
"It doesn't matter."
"Post the announcement in the next few days to give them time to prepare, so as to demonstrate the fairness and justice of our Great Qin."
"At the same time, the news needs to be spread that the first competition will begin in five days, and the loser can leave Xianyang directly."
This time is actually a bit nervous for Lian Liangcai.
After all, Xianyang Lingyamen has spent a lot of money during this period of time. You must know that his relationship with Taicang Cheng is not good, and he will be embarrassed every time he receives payment.
Now if he continues to advance money, he may become the first yamen to suffer from lack of money.
However, he was embarrassed to say no and could only nod awkwardly.
"Here."
"I have one more thing. The man just now said that Mr. Hu Hai is in Hanmo Villa. Is this true or false?"
"So many people heard it just now. I am afraid that someone will investigate this matter. If it is really in the villa, I would like to settle Mr. Hu Hai in time so that no one can say anything about it."
This time, Fusu thought for a moment and paused.
"I don't know about this either."
"I will send someone to investigate. If news about Hu Hai is discovered, he will be taken away as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about this."
Unexpectedly, even Fusu didn't know. Lian Liangcai really didn't know what to do this time.
However, since Fusu said that he was responsible for this matter, he didn't have to worry about it.
"Here."
"If nothing happens, I will retire."
…
Xianyang Prison.
After receiving the news, Cao Yangyun rushed over and saw a thin-looking boy being escorted by his men.
The kid's eyes were full of panic, as if he didn't understand why he was caught.
When he saw Cao Yangyun, he started to struggle.
"Sir! The villain is wronged!"
"I didn't do anything, please let me go!"
"I kowtow to you! Let me go!"
When he begged for mercy, his face was filled with snot and tears, and he looked particularly sincere.
But Cao Yangyun knew that this person was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
He sat on a stool nearby, crossed his legs and looked at the person in front of him, waving his hand, "Pull him over!"
Two people immediately pulled the man over and made his face face Cao Yangyun.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
"Who sent you to say those words in front of Hanmo Villa?"
"Also, who told you that Mr. Hu Hai was inside?"
When speaking, Cao Yangyun's tone was particularly relaxed, as if he was talking about the smallest things.
Seeing how polite he was, the man who had begged for mercy just now had a look of contempt in his eyes.
Then he said in a panic: "Sir, the younger one's name is Cao San."
"I just came here to take part in the imperial examination. When I see those unfair things, I naturally want to stand up for myself!"
"What happened to Young Master Hu Hai is what I said nonsense. If I am wrong, Master Lian will naturally explain it to me. I didn't do anything wrong."
"Please, sir, spare me the little one!"
With that said, he was about to start kowtow.
Judging from the tone of his words, Cao Yangyun knew that this man was a slippery man, and he would never tell the truth if he didn't teach him a lesson.
As soon as he raised his hand, someone immediately opened a door next to him.
"Give him a try!"
"If he doesn't say anything, beat him until he does!"
Cao San turned his head and saw that it was full of torture instruments, with drops of blood on them, and he collapsed on the ground.
"No! No!"
"The little ones say it, the little ones say it!"
