Sure enough, when he heard Ran Fang say that there was no important person in Xianyang Prison, Yang Jie's eyes flashed.
It just returned to normal very quickly, as if nothing had happened.
He nodded, smiled and said, "It's just that I worry too much."
"That being the case, I'm relieved."
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic and said in a low tone: "However, there is another clue. I don't know if it will be useful to Mr. Yu."
"The person who made the utensils said that his surname was Cao."
These words made it clear, and Ran Fang's eyes looked at him with a sense of scrutiny.
After a moment, he suddenly laughed.
"I see, then you and this person named Cao are acquaintances, right?"
"Or, have you seen this person in the city?"
Yang Jie also understood that when he said his last name was Cao, Ran Fang would definitely guess his identity.
But he had no choice but to reach this point. If he really couldn't get any news, then his trip would be in vain.
However, he was still lucky. If he could really hide it from Ran Fang, would he be able to save his life?
After thinking about it, he decided to mix truth and falsehood as before, so that Ran Fang would take time to investigate, which would give him time to solve some things.
"My lord, you are joking. I have been staying in that hut and don't want to come to Xianyang City. How can I see him?"
"It's just that he was looking for me and he happened to be talking about it, so I just asked him casually."
"I thought that there weren't many people with the surname Cao in this city, and if you could investigate it faster, I told you this name."
"If you suspect me, you can go and investigate. I have always been outside the city and have nothing to do with anyone in the city. Even when the Gu family went to look for me, it was an accident."
What he said was true. Zhang Liang and Yang Jie were not familiar with each other, and it was only by mistake that he was brought back by Gu Zongmin.
However, if this Cao San incident had nothing to do with Yang Jie, Ran Fang would never believe it.
"how come?"
"If it hadn't been for your help, I wouldn't have found out about Zhao Gao so quickly. I still believe you in this matter."
"As for this matter, I will send someone to investigate. If it is true as you said, then I will definitely reward you."
After getting this answer, Yangsuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Ran Fang goes to investigate, the guards of Xianyang Prison will naturally be relaxed.
By then, no matter who wants to do anything, it will be easier than usual.
"Thank you sir, there is no need for a reward."
"I am very satisfied if I can help you sir."
"I've finished my business, so I won't disturb your discussion. I want to leave."
With that said, he stood up and saluted Ran Fang, nodded to Gu Siyuan, and then turned and left.
After a while, Ran Fang looked at Gu Siyuan and asked, "Why did you leave for so long when you came in just now?"
Gu Siyuan, who was still listening to their chat, was a little stunned when he heard Ran Fang's sudden question.
It took him a moment to react, and he said in a very casual tone: "Oh, Yang Jie just said that it was his first time here and he wanted to take a look at the house."
"On the way here, I took him for a walk in the yard."
"But I didn't go inside. I just looked around from the entrance to the front hall. I didn't see anything important."
After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Ran Fang cautiously, and said cautiously: "What?"
"Could it be that sir, you are suspicious that there is something wrong with Yang Jie?"
Without waiting for Ran Fang to speak, Gu Siyuan said directly: "We were the ones who found Yang Jie in the first place, and we were not willing to let him stay in the house."
"It's true that this sudden visit to me is a bit unexpected, but because of this, isn't it a little too obvious?"
At the same time, he also felt a little guilty. If Yang Jie really had a problem, would he be implicated if he took him for a stroll in Ran Fang's yard?
Looking at his expression, Ran Fang knew what he was thinking.
He did not comfort Gu Siyuan. After all, being able to take people around in his house was already a serious matter.
Therefore, when he looked at Gu Siyuan, his eyes also contained a strong sense of reproach.
"Do you know that Yangsuke?"
Gu Siyuan nodded sincerely, then quickly shook his head.
"No... never understood."
"Sir, I have not considered this matter."
"At that time, I just thought that he had never been here before, and it was understandable that he was a little curious."
"But...this is not the Gu family, it was me who overstepped my bounds."
After saying that, he stood up and lowered his head, respectfully waiting for Ran Fang's punishment.
Seeing his appearance, Ran Fang couldn't say anything.
He knew what Gu Siyuan was thinking, but he just wanted to show off in front of Yang Jie, but this matter was indeed a bit too much.
"I'll note this down for now. If there is really no problem with Yang Jie, then this matter will be over."
"But if he has a problem, then you have to think about how to apologize for your recklessness!"
Gu Siyuan stood there, not daring to say a word.
He could only nod sincerely, and he also knew that if Yang Jie really had a problem, he would not be able to escape the blame even if he died.
In this way, Ran Fang was quite satisfied.
He continued: "Okay, are there any other problems with the tea shop?"
Hearing this, Gu Siyuan raised his head again and looked at Ran Fang with burning eyes, with obvious admiration in his eyes.
"With His Majesty's inscription, the business of the tea shop must be very lively."
"It's just a question of when to start."
"Rong Ming won't be here these days. There will definitely be a lot of people visiting, and we will definitely need more manpower."
"I was thinking of discussing with you, when should this time be set?"
"When the time comes, do you want to go?"
He was talking about the tea shop, but what Ran Fang was thinking about was that so many things had happened in the city in the past few days, and if it opened now, someone would definitely take advantage of the troubled waters.
Especially those who want to rescue Cao San will not let go of such a good opportunity.
In this case, he will give them a loophole and see if they can seize this opportunity.
"Of course I want to go."
"You spread the news in the next few days, saying that on that day, in order to prevent accidents, some of the guards in the mansion will also be there."
The last time Liuguang Pavilion opened, Ran Fang didn't go.
Now that Ran Fang said he was going to the tea shop, Gu Siyuan felt a little proud. His intuition was that Ran Fang valued him, otherwise why would he come?
"good!"
"I'm going to prepare now, and I will definitely satisfy you then!"
