Seeing Feng Quji's shocked expression, Wang Wan's smile grew even bigger.
Sure enough, the smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.
He also explained for Feng Quji very politely: "Now the leaders of Guizhou in the city are talking about this scientific examination. It is related to my official, and those selected are not fair."
"But things have already come to an end, and nothing they say will help."
"In order not to arouse stronger opposition, His Majesty decided to hand over the second round of scientific examinations to Mr. Feng."
"Although Mr. Feng is still thinking behind closed doors, His Majesty is willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself. I hope Mr. Feng will not let down His Majesty's kindness."
Although what he said was very polite, it sounded like gloating to Feng Quji.
When the scientific examination started, Wang Wan was put in charge, but when things got to this point, he was put in charge!
Without even thinking about it, Feng Quji knew that this was Wang Wan's idea, just to throw this hot potato into his own hands.
"I really want to thank Yushi Wang for coming to my house in person just to tell me this."
"I just don't know. Does Wang Yushi have anything to tell me?"
He said this through gritted teeth, but Wang Wan's face was full of smiles.
"Master Feng, you're too polite. I can only do this with a little effort."
"His Majesty's imperial edict will arrive in a few days. I am just congratulating Master Feng in advance."
"There is nothing to explain, but there is one thing to ask. Your Majesty wants to select many people for this scientific examination. If Mr. Feng cannot do it alone, you can select a few people from the court to do it together."
"As for this candidate, it is up to Mr. Feng to decide."
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, so I won't stay any longer."
"Master Feng, there is no need to send it away."
With that said, he stood up and left.
Feng Quji was left standing alone, waiting fiercely for Wang Wan to leave. His desire to kill him had never been so strong.
"Somebody come!"
"If the scientific examination is successfully handled, those officials will definitely help in the future. How can it be so simple for Wang Wan to just hand over the matter?"
"Follow Wang Wan well, I want to see what his purpose is?"
…
At this time, Xu Qiwen from outside the city finally sneaked in, planning to go back and report everything to Xiang Zhuang, and then inquire about Xiang Jin.
When he came to the familiar door, he felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the house.
Instead of going straight in, he turned around and walked around the front door, where he wanted to see if anything was going on.
He waited at the door until midnight and saw people coming and going in the mansion. They looked no different than usual, so he felt relieved.
When he came to the back door again, he was still a little worried. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he jumped up on the wall and prepared to secretly go to Xiang Zhuang's room.
But the environment in this courtyard gave him a blow.
Looking at the ruins of the walls, as well as the smashed door and windows of the room, it can be seen that there has been a war here, and his owner Xiang Zhuang has disappeared.
"Owner!"
He shouted, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly saw some people walking in from outside the courtyard. The leader was Liu Bang who was beside Ran Fang.
Upon seeing this, he immediately hid his figure in the darkness, fearing that they would discover him.
He watched helplessly as Liu Bang led his people around here and made sure there was no one before leaving. He also heard Liu Bang say before leaving: "Be careful these days and don't linger too much at the door, lest you be discovered." Got a clue."
"Also pay attention to who comes. If anyone wants to inquire about the news here, arrest him immediately!"
"I would rather catch the wrong one than let him go!"
Listening to the sound getting farther and farther, Xu Qiwen dared to slowly walk out of the darkness. Now he was not sure whether his master had been arrested.
"The master is so smart and has superb martial arts skills. He will not be caught so easily."
"But this city is heavily guarded, where can he hide?"
After making sure that there was no one in the yard, Xu Qiwen jumped over the wall and left.
The news about Xiang Jin has not yet been found out, and now that Xiang Zhuang is missing again, he doesn't know where he is going when he walks on the street.
Unknowingly, he came to the courtyard where he had met Zhang Liang before. Thinking that there would be no one to guard the place, he secretly hid in the courtyard.
When he came, he also left marks on the road. If Xiang Zhuang had not been arrested, he would definitely come looking for him when he saw it.
Thinking about it, he peacefully found an inconspicuous corner in the house to sleep, so that even if someone came in, he could escape immediately.
And this late night, not only was he unable to sleep peacefully, many people were also busy.
Liu Bang came out from Xiangzhuang, leaving a team of troops to watch here, and returned to the commander's residence alone.
It happened that Ran Fang had not rested yet, so when he saw him coming back, he immediately called him over to give him a reply.
"how?"
"Any clues?"
Liu Bang stood there, shaking his head in embarrassment.
"Lord Qi, no trace has been found yet, but my subordinates have sent people to guard the place."
"However, my subordinates still have suspicions. Since this village has colluded with Weiwei Feng Anfu, it is inevitable that there are still people from them in the court. Do you want to interrogate Feng Anfu again?"
Ran Fang shook his head, with a rare look of fatigue in his eyes.
However, his smart eyes showed that he still had a solution in mind.
"Cao Yangyun is already under interrogation, but there are no clues."
"Bring Xiang Jin over and see if she knows anything else."
Liu Bang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Ran Fang meant.
"Here, my subordinate will go immediately."
Within a moment, Liu Bang came over with Xiang Jin.
It was late at night, and Xiang Jin, who was brought here, was still a little uneasy. Could it be that in the middle of the night...
With a trace of doubt, she followed Liu Bang to Ran Fang and stood there cautiously. When she saw that she was in the study room, her worries were relieved a lot.
"See the Commander."
But after she finished speaking, Ran Fang remained silent.
After a long while, she thought carefully and said: "You... why did you come to see me today?"
"I've told you everything I could say before."
"I can't tell you anything else, and I won't tell you if you ask me."
Seeing her cautious look, coupled with her delicate little face, people can't help but feel a sense of protectiveness.
However, Ran Fang didn't feel this way, and the expression on his face was somewhat cordial.
In his heart, he looked at Xiang Jin with some ridicule. Although he was so timid, he actually wanted to assassinate him. He didn't know where the courage came from?
"Don't worry, as a commander, I will not use a woman to achieve any purpose."
"I asked you to come here today just to let you meet an old person."
