Zhang Liang has been responsible for investigating things outside the city. When he heard what Rong Ming said, he naturally connected the two things.
After receiving Ran Fang's order before, he had not been able to find any clues, and the people there seemed to have received the news and hid it.
Now that Rong Ming provided clues, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Thank you, Master Rong, for reminding me."
Rong Ming didn't know what happened before, but when he heard what Zhang Liang said, he knew that he had given the right clue.
Suddenly, the expression on his face became much more joyful.
"If I can help the commander, I'll be relieved."
After saying that, he stood up and left here.
The smile on his face did not fade away until he walked out of the door.
After coming out of Ran Fang's place, he went directly to the tea shop that had not yet opened.
He bypassed the crowd and walked in through the back door, just in time to see Gu Siyuan and a bunch of people busy doing something unknown inside.
"Brother Gu, what are you doing?"
When Gu Siyuan heard the voice, he turned around and saw Rong Ming, who was beaming with joy and a happy look on his face.
He immediately greeted him and said eagerly: "When did you come back?"
"This is the master's order. He said he was going to prepare some tea for people to taste. Naturally, it should be made more beautiful."
"I asked the workers to make more, and also brought some beautiful glass bottles from Liuguang Pavilion to hold the tea. What do you think?"
"Also, these are the names of several shops I have prepared. You can choose which one is more suitable. I will send it to you, sir."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Rong Ming's hand.
Hearing this, Rong Ming, who had been very happy on his face, suddenly dropped his expression.
He knew that Gu Siyuan was definitely not thinking of anything good when he saw him so enthusiastic today, and it was just as expected.
From the beginning of their business, Gu Siyuan always wanted to overpower him to show how much he was valued in front of Ran Fang.
Therefore, both of them dislike each other.
On the other hand, they were all thinking about running a tea shop, so they didn't go too far, and they looked better in appearance.
Just like now, even though I was a little unhappy, I still echoed: "Not bad, I did a good job indeed."
"I just came out of the command house and heard what he said about this matter. You have already done it, which saves me the trouble."
"Well, since you are here, I'll leave first."
"As for these names, I think they are all similar, you can just choose any one."
Having said that, the look of disgust on his face could not be hidden.
Especially in the last sentence, he looked at Gu Siyuan with disgust. He didn't know whether he disliked him or those names, but after saying that, he turned around and left.
Gu Siyuan, who was still complacent, took a step forward and stopped him.
"how?"
"Could it be that the head of the Rong family doesn't like my name and thinks that his ideas are better than mine?"
These words obviously made him a little unhappy. A sensible person would have known that it was time to shut up at this moment.
Ke Rongming was "stupid". He took a step forward, took the paper from Gu Siyuan's hand, looked at it carefully, folded the note and stuffed it directly back into his sleeve.
That action clearly showed disdain for his names.
"These names are good, but when used in a tea shop, they don't quite reflect the tea shop's true intentions."
"Especially you, Wen Ya Ge, who would have thought that you are in the tea business?"
"I know you want to match Liuguang Pavilion, but you can't put them together so forcefully."
"However, if this is the name you came up with, it would be pretty good."
Although this sounded like a compliment, how could Gu Siyuan not tell that he was laughing at him?
He wanted to open his mouth to argue, but he also knew that Rong Ming was right. He wanted to argue but didn't know where to start.
"You...Master Rong is really as honest as ever, so honest that it's annoying."
"However, my Gu family doesn't want to argue with you."
"I also know that the head of the Rong family is not happy. After all, after Mr. handed over all the refined salt business to His Majesty, the Gu family and the Rong family were the ones most affected."
"At that time, I personally went to my husband's house to express my attitude towards the Gu family. I must have not had time to Rong family master, right?"
"It's been so long. I guess you must have had an idea in your mind for a long time. You didn't ask you about it when you came here today, right?"
"You didn't know everything that happened in the court in the past few days, so you went directly to your husband's house. I don't know if you were fearless or if you had your own plans."
Rong Ming, who was still complacent at first, finally understood the problem with Ran Fang's attitude just now.
At that time, he only heard that Ran Fang took the initiative to hand over the refined salt. He thought it was Ran Fang's loyalty to His Majesty, but now it seems that is not the case.
Moreover, he also heard that after Gu Siyuan came out of Ran Fang's house, Gu Zongmin personally went to Zhang Han's house.
Among them... I'm afraid it has something to do with Ran Fang.
"I see."
Thinking of this, he didn't bother arguing with Gu Siyuan and left in a hurry.
Watching his leaving figure, Gu Siyuan slowly raised a smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, I want to see how you deal with this matter?"
"Without my husband's help and only the refined salt business, how can Rongjia stand out from those salt merchants?"
After murmuring a few words, he began to direct the workers to get busy again, but the smile on his face might not stay there for a few days.
While they were busy, news that there was an "inside story" about the scientific expedition had spread in the city.
Although people didn't discuss it too much, there was already a lot of gossip in private.
Some people even think that their failure this time was because the examiner was unfair.
For this reason, some people who failed in the scientific examination continue to stay here, just waiting to see if things can have a new result.
Officials of all sizes in the city have received the news. Although they don't care about this matter, if the matter becomes more serious, they may not be able to bring it to an end.
Even so, no one dared to mention it in front of Ying Zheng.
Naturally, this matter would not be hidden from Ran Fang. Cao Yangyun, who had been paying attention to the trends in the city, informed Ran Fang as soon as he received the news.
"Sir, although this matter has not caused much impact now, if the matter is allowed to develop, I'm afraid..." It will not be easy to handle. "
"All the adults in the court want to hide this matter. Even Wang Yushi is secretly dealing with some people who are doing scientific research. His subordinates are afraid that they will turn against them."
"If things get out of control, even adults may be implicated."
Cao Yangyun said this completely from Ran Fang's perspective. After all, who didn't know that it was Ran Fang who brought up the subject of the scientific examination system.
When big trouble breaks out, Ran Fang will be the first to bear the brunt.
Ran Fang also understood this. From the moment he received the news from Gu Siyuan, he had already started to prevent it.
"Send this news to His Majesty and let Him make a decision."
"Especially the current suspicion and anger of the people in the city, please tell His Majesty in full."
