With a "pop" sound, Liu Bang knelt on the ground again, looking a little scared.
He didn't expect that this Ran Fang was different from what he imagined.
I thought that what would happen to a young man who became an official with His Majesty's protection?
But I didn't expect that there was an aura that was not angry but powerful.
He knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "Sir... I don't understand what you mean?"
"You are absolutely right."
"It's just that... I also have... selfish motives. Nowadays, there is a lot of commotion in Xianyang City about the imperial examination. I really want to take part in the imperial examination."
"The villain has absolutely no intention of lying. He came to Xianyang in the first place to protect Mr. Hu Hai!"
Before Liu Bang could finish his explanation, Ranfeng waved his hand and interrupted him.
"That's all, since you are here for Hu Hai, I will not make things difficult for you."
"But you left Pei County privately and did not leave in time after entering Xianyang. This is a serious crime and cannot be wiped away with a word."
"I will not hold you accountable for this matter for the time being, and I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."
"Would you like that?"
Listening to the meaning of the words, Liu Bang knew that Ran Fang was looking for him to do something, and it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise it would not fall on him.
But he had no chance to refuse, and besides, this was also an opportunity for him!
"Don't worry, sir. Even if I go to Daoshan, I will definitely handle it for you!"
Seeing Liu Bang's submissive appearance at this time, it was really difficult for Ran Fang to connect with the future founder of the Han Dynasty.
But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, Liu Bang is far from the ambition and momentum he will have in the future, so this reaction is completely normal.
Moreover, now that he is employing people, Cao Yangyun really cannot be used.
The most important thing is that he knows Liu Bang's "personality charm". So many people were willing to follow him in the beginning, not only because of Liu Bang's ability, but also his appeal.
Now that Zhang Liang's matter has not been resolved, it would be most appropriate to let Liu Bang do it. After all, Huang Shigong is good at planning. He must know something when he meets Liu Bang, right?
"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you a task. If this task is completed, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"But if this matter goes wrong, then don't blame me for settling the old and new accounts together. Even Hu Hai won't be able to keep you by then!"
Liu Bang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, and instantly felt cold from head to feet. He stood motionless on the spot.
It was only after hearing these words that he understood Ran Fang's current power in the city, and he was afraid that Hu Hai would not be able to benefit from him.
In this situation, only by following Ran Fang can there be a chance of survival. What is more likely to be obtained from Ran Fang is much better than following Hu Hai!
"Sir, please speak."
After all, Liu Bang is not one of his own now, so Ran Fang didn't say something clearly.
"You go find a person named Zhang Liang, named Zifang."
"This man also has a master named Huang Shigong, who is currently living in Meng Yi's house."
"Zhang Liang is highly armed and wary. He is also preparing to participate in this imperial examination."
"I don't want him to take part in the imperial examination, but I don't want him to leave Xianyang City just like that. If you find a way to make him let go of the hatred in his heart, then I won't care about what you do."
"I can give you a reminder. You can start from his master. If you can gain his master's trust, the matter will be half successful."
After listening to Ran Fang's words, Liu Bang had a bad feeling in his heart.
Especially the word "hatred" is definitely not that simple, otherwise Ran Fang would not let himself go.
But why let him go?
"Sir, I dare to ask, who does Zhang Liang have a grudge against?"
…
By the time Ran Fang finished all the instructions and came out of Xianyang Prison, it was already noon.
When he returned to his house, he saw Wang Ji and Lian Liangcai, the soldiers of Xianyang County, standing at the door. Their faces were full of sadness, as if they were saying something.
Seeing him coming out, the two walked towards his direction.
Lian Liang then stepped forward, saluted Ran Fang and said, "I've seen the commander."
"The two of us are here today to ask the commander for advice. I hope the commander will ignore the past grievances."
Ran Fang did not speak, but focused his gaze on "Wang Ji" behind him.
When he was in Xianyang Prison, Ran Fang remembered that he had talked a lot with this person, especially about changing the country's governance, changing political laws, and robbing money.
Later, the salt and iron monopoly was realized, but he never saw this man again.
When I saw him here today, looking at his clothes, Ran Fang knew without thinking that he was definitely not the "History of a Soldier from Xianyang County" as he originally said.
"This Wang Ji, a soldier of Xianyang County, does Mr. Wang look very familiar?"
"I still remember Mr. Wang once said that if something happens to me in the future, you will definitely not refuse."
"What? Is Mr. Wang here to fulfill his promise today?"
Lian Liangcai didn't expect that Wang Wan and Ran Fang had such a story.
He originally thought that he had offended Ran Fang, so he might not get an answer when he came here today, but he didn't expect Wang Wan to be the same.
At this moment, he stood there, looking at Wang Wan and then at Ran Fang, not knowing what to say for a moment.
No wonder Wang Wan declined many times when she said she wanted to see Ran Fang in the morning.
"Master Wang, how should we handle this matter?"
A flash of embarrassment flashed in Wang Wan's eyes. He didn't expect Ran Fang to have a good memory and still remember him after so long.
In fact, he had forgotten the identity he mentioned at the beginning.
Now that it's mentioned again, it's inevitable that I'm still a little uncomfortable with it.
But he was also a person who corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong. He bowed and saluted Ran Fang.
"Sir, what happened that day was my fault."
"But it is really helpless. His Majesty ordered that his identity should not be exposed at that time, but he admired your talent, so I made this decision. I hope you will forgive me."
"Later, my husband became an official in the court, and I was really happy for him. I was just worried that he would recognize my identity, so I didn't come to the house in person to express my gratitude. Instead, I asked the housekeeper to come and give him a gift in person."
"My husband's kindness has always been engraved in my heart. If my husband needs help, I will never refuse."
"But today we are here for the imperial examination. I must know this, sir. The first test will be held tomorrow. But what exactly will be tested? I have discussed it with Mr. Lian for a long time, but there is no solution at all. I came here specifically to ask sir for a clue."
"Please give me some advice, sir."
This gesture made Lian Liangcai a little surprised. He didn't expect Wang Wan to actually apologize.
Seeing that what he said was so sincere and his apology was so sincere, Ran Fang couldn't say anything more.
"I am not that petty person, but who is this Lord Wang?"
"Can you make it clear first?"
