Judging from the way Wang Wan spoke, it seemed that he would not give up today until Ran Fang made it clear.
But at this moment, Ran Fang was thinking that since he knew that Cao San had gone to Meng Yi's house, he would also know that Ruo Ri had stolen back to Xianyang Prison.
Now Wang Wan deliberately didn't say anything because she didn't want him to know that she was being watched.
It seems that Xianyang City is really full of dangers.
He could give Wang Wan some advice, but he didn't know if he was willing to accept it.
Thinking about it, he smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
"You and I are both officials of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, we are here to relieve His Majesty's worries. If I have any solution, why don't I tell you?"
"Since the head of Guizhou is questioning the unfairness of this scientific examination, why not ask you to come forward and tell the whole story clearly."
"Especially when the scientific examination system was announced, it was willing to accept the heads of Guizhou in the world, not the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty. Why did there be people who edited books in the end?"
"If these ideas are stated clearly, Guizhou Province will no longer have any doubts or guess what happened to cause these changes and impacts."
"What do Wang Yushi think?"
Listening to the meaning in his words, Wang Wan knew that Ran Fang was not satisfied with the scientific examination, especially the participation of those who edited books, which was contrary to Ran Fang's original thoughts.
But he didn't think he was wrong, especially during this scientific examination, he saw the differences between the Guizhou leaders and them. If those Guizhou leaders also joined the court as officials, they would definitely cause trouble for the court.
However, if these words were spoken out, those Guizhou leaders would not let him go so easily, so he could only think about them in his heart.
Now that Ran Fang was unwilling to really solve the problem for him and still spoke like this, he also understood that there was no room for turning around in this matter.
"I understand what you mean, sir."
"The fact that people who compile books can also be used for scientific examinations was approved by His Majesty. I didn't expect that Sir would criticize this matter."
"I did not inform you sir in advance at that time. Now it seems that it is my fault. I hope you will not mind me."
"As for the opinions you just raised, I will seriously consider them."
"Then today, I will not bother you sir."
After saying that, he stood up and left without even saying a few words to Ran Fang.
Looking at his leaving figure, Ran Fang had to admit that as a civil servant in the court, Wang Wan still had some integrity in him. Because of this, he seemed a bit pedantic.
Now that the public opinion in the city has fermented to this point, the most important thing now is not to deal with these people who spread rumors, but what to do next?
Even if he gave Wang Wan advice, it could not stop the continued development of this matter.
"Such a pedantic person would not easily do things that betray the Qin Dynasty. Someone must have said something to him."
"Who is he? He can actually change Wang Wan's behavior. It seems that there is really an undercurrent in Xianyang City."
…
Zhang Liang, who had been investigating outside the city, walked into an abandoned house and saw a piece of cloth that was familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
He slowly stepped forward and picked up the cloth, a trace of nostalgia and panic flashing across his face.
In just a moment, he calmed down all his expressions, turned his head and glanced at the guards around him, and said sternly: "You go to other places to investigate, I will investigate here myself!"
"Here!"
After all the guards had left, Zhang Liang slowly unfolded the cloth and stroked the needlework on it with his hands, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gathered the cloth in his arms, pretended that nothing happened, and left the room.
After returning to the house with his guards, he hid in his room without seeing anyone.
In the evening, a guard who was relatively close to him stood at his door, knocked on the door lightly, and whispered: "Guard Chief Zhang, are you in the house?"
"It's already dark, why don't you light the lamp?"
Zhang Liang came to his senses when he heard the sound. Unknowingly, he had been sitting in the room for so long?
He put the cloth away and slowly walked to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Guangqi standing at the door with a concerned look on his face.
"What's the matter?"
When he opened the door, Jiang Guangqi glanced into the room without trace, and then looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes.
"nothing."
"I just heard that after you came back from outside the city today, you locked yourself in your room. I thought something had happened to you, so I wanted to say hello."
"Besides, didn't you ask me to pay attention to who is looking for the commander today?"
"Except for Wang Wan, there is no one else."
"However, the commander went to Xianyang Prison today. I don't know who he met."
While speaking, Jiang Guangqi kept staring at Zhang Liang, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
Zhang Liang stood there calmly, accepting his probing gaze calmly.
He knew that Jiang Guangqi was sent by Ran Fang to be by his side. If he had any evil intentions, Ran Fang would definitely know about it.
Even though he was a little unhappy in his heart, he could accept it in order to gain Ran Fang's trust.
However, now he felt a little guilty. When he was exposed to Jiang Guangqi's eyes for a long time, he even wanted to escape unconsciously, but he held it back and Jiang Guangqi did not find any suspicion.
"That's very good, then I can rest assured."
"Nothing happened today. It's just that it's been so long and I haven't received any news yet. I'm worried that the adults will think that I'm not doing my job well and I feel a little upset."
"I was in the room just now, thinking about what I missed. I was so absorbed in thinking that I didn't think it was getting dark for a while, which actually worried you."
There is nothing wrong with this explanation, but Jiang Guangqi always feels that this is not the case.
But his identity was different from Zhang Liang's, and it was hard for him to say anything before there was definite evidence. He had no choice but to smile and said calmly: "Okay."
"Then I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Liang's house again before turning and leaving.
After he left, Zhang Liang turned on the lamp and returned to his room, found a private place, put the cloth away and felt a little more at ease.
Sitting on the bed, watching the moonlight getting darker and darker, he felt more and more nervous.
After an unknown amount of time, there was no sound outside except for the chirping of cicadas. Then he slowly stood up, opened the door and walked out.
In the courtyard, he dodged patrolling soldiers and sneaked out through the back door.
After confirming that no one was following him, he found a path and arrived at an abandoned courtyard in the west of the city.
After knocking three times at the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and he ducked in.
After walking through the messy grass and arriving at the house, I heard the voice of the person inside saying with a somewhat appreciative tone: "I didn't expect that you could commit yourself to the officials of Da Qin. I'm so happy!"
"I thought you were too temperamental to do such a thing."
"In this case, things will be much more convenient for us in the future."
