Zhang Liang was behind and Xiang Jin was in front. They walked in the yard without saying a word.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, their voices became longer and longer.
While walking, Xiang Jin suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Liang, and said calmly: "I'm here."
"Guard Zhang, please come back."
Zhang Liang raised his head when he heard the sound and saw the two of them walking in front of a small courtyard.
He raised his head, looked at the plaque with "Linghe Courtyard" written on it, and nodded slightly.
Then he said with some confusion: "You live here?"
"This is the yard that your Excellency asked his men to clean up some time ago. I thought he wanted to live in it himself, but I didn't expect that you would be allowed to live here."
"Although your Excellency is an official of Da Qin, he has never been biased against anyone because of his status. This is something few people can do."
"Now that the world is stable, if another dispute is provoked, it may not be a good thing for the head of Guizhou."
"Now my lord is willing to give you a chance and give your Xiang family a chance. If you can cherish it, that's not a bad idea."
Listening to Zhang Liang's eloquent words, an unknown fire surged in Xiang Jin's heart.
She interrupted Zhang Liang's words, raised her head and looked at him firmly, and asked in a very firm tone: "How can you say that?!"
"There's nothing wrong with Ran Fang's words, but they shouldn't come out of your mouth."
"I thought this was just a stopgap measure on your part, but I didn't expect that you had really betrayed your oath!"
"When no one cared about you, you got to know my brother, and that gave you the chance to take revenge. Now you have given up everything, but you are standing at the highest point to accuse them. You are not worthy!"
"I have always respected you as a brother, but I never thought you would do something like this."
"Since you didn't betray my brother, the previous debt between you and the Xiang family will be wiped out. You don't need to talk about the rest!"
After saying that, Xiang Jin walked into the courtyard without looking back, as if he had walked with Zhang Liang for so long just because of what he said just now.
Zhang Liang stood there, looking at Xiang Jin's back without any movement for a moment.
He had expected this when he decided to follow Ran Fang. When he saw Xiang Zhuang that time, his heart was cut by a knife when he saw Xiang Zhuang's contemptuous eyes.
He really doesn't want his relationship with the Xiang family to reach this point. If everyone in the Xiang family can figure it out, then they can still drink and have fun together. What's wrong with that?
Unfortunately……
The Xiang family's determination is deeper than his.
Thinking, he shook his head, turned around and left.
…
The next day, Ran Fang sent a letter to Ying Zheng, saying that he had something to discuss.
After receiving the news, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Wei Liang beside him with a very helpless expression.
"This Ran Fang, for some reason is unwilling to enter the palace?"
"Every time something happens, let me leave the palace to see him."
"Is there something in this palace blocking him?!"
"It's so arrogant."
Although these words were meant to be an accusation, you could still hear that there was no intention of blaming Ran Fang in his words.
Having been with him for a short time, Wei Liang naturally knew that Ying Zheng was usually stern, but he always smiled a little more when he encountered Ran Fang and Hu Hai.
Especially when facing Ran Fang, he will be more patient. This kind of treatment is not something other officials in the DPRK can enjoy.
Therefore, he also followed Ying Zheng's words and said: "Your Majesty is joking. The commander has always been outside the palace, and his life is more casual."
"If you enter the palace, you will inevitably feel a little reserved, and your words will be as cautious as other officials."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see the commander in that state. The commander naturally understands your majesty's good intentions, so he often asks your majesty to go out to relax."
Wei Liang has been following Ying Zheng for a long time. Sometimes when he sees Ying Zheng in a good mood, he will chime in with a few words. Just like now, a few words can make Ying Zheng laugh.
"Hahaha, you do understand him."
"Although Ran Fang is a bit generous, he has no problem with doing things, and he won't easily pass on messages to others."
"I'm afraid there is something important today, so you can go with me and see what Ran Fang is going to do."
When Ying Zheng came to Ran Fang's house with some guards, Ran Fang, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, were preparing to go to Xianyang Prison.
When the three of them saw Ying Zheng's carriage, they all stopped and stood respectfully.
"See Your Majesty."
When Ying Zheng got off the carriage, he happened to see such a scene. He had a smile on his face and looked at Ran Fang with a little bit of relief.
"No need to be polite."
"Today is difficult. You actually came to the courtyard to greet me in person."
Ying Zheng was always more tolerant towards Ran Fang and spoke much more casually.
And every time, in order to ensure safety, the carriage he rode entered Ran Fang's yard.
Therefore, Ying Zheng usually goes directly to Ran Fang, and there is rarely a scene where Ran Fang stands here waiting for him to get off the carriage.
The expression on Ran Fang's face was calm, the same as every time he saw Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty is overly worried. I am about to go to Xianyang Prison to interrogate a thief."
"Your Majesty, do you want to go with us?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.
Since handing over Xianyang Prison to Ran Fang, he has never been to Xianyang Prison.
"Okay, I'll go with you for a while."
"Who is in Xianyang Prison that you want to interrogate in person?"
Looking at Ying Zheng's very interested eyes, Ran Fang said two words softly: "Xiang Zhuang."
Ying Zheng was naturally unfamiliar with this name, but he was still very keen when he heard the names of the Xiang family.
Especially a few days ago, he heard from Fusu that this family member was in the city and wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ran Fang. He had been worried about this for several days and had people step up security patrols in Xianyang City.
It had only been a few days since he received the news, but Ran Fang had actually caught everyone!
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, if this matter was left to the ministers of the court, how long would it take?
"It's like this. You gave me a surprise today."
"Let's go, let's go and see how big this family's ambition is!"
After saying that, Ying Zheng walked towards the outside.
The people behind him also followed closely and kept up with Ying Zheng's pace.
When he arrived at Xianyang Prison, Cao Yangyun was already waiting at the door. When he saw Ying Zheng, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he returned to normal.
"See Your Majesty."
After saluting, he stood up again and said to Ran Fang: "My lord, everything is ready."
Ran Fang nodded, took a step forward and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I am worried that Xiang Zhuang has collided with you."
"How about you stay away for a while and see what Xiang Zhuang wants to do."
Ying Zheng did not refuse, but subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"
Obviously, Ran Fang did not expect that Ying Zheng would ask this question.
He turned his head and said naturally: "This question...does your Majesty still need to ask it?"
"Just go to the place before."
