Gu Siyuan had already prepared everything before. Now that he received Ran Fang's order, he immediately spread the news of the opening.
The most important thing is that he also spread the news that Ran Fanghui will attend in person.
At the same time, some news came out in the city that someone wanted to assassinate Ran Fang, so now Ran Fang must be very careful wherever he goes.
For a time, the city became lively again.
Some people speculated whether Ran Fang was too timid to show up.
Naturally, there are people who are looking forward to Ran Fang's appearance.
Time passed by and the day came when the tea shop opened.
People received the news early that they could taste this new variety of tea for free, so many people were waiting here early.
Just when people were looking forward to it, they heard the sound of "pop-pop-pop-pop-" firecrackers, which attracted everyone's attention.
You know, these firecrackers are also very expensive. Generally, people are only willing to use some during the Chinese New Year, and even ordinary people are reluctant to use them.
The firecrackers set off by Gu Siyuan at this opening were more than those set off by ten households during the Chinese New Year, so while people were watching the excitement, they also marveled at the Gu family's generosity.
And the plaque of "Xichuan Tea House" hanging above the tea shop actually looks more high-profile than the plaques of ordinary mansions.
For a time, there was endless discussion among the crowd.
"The words on this plaque look very familiar."
"Yes, I heard that this was inscribed by His Majesty himself, and His Majesty also gave this name."
"I see, I'm just saying how dare the Gu family be so high-profile!"
"I heard that Commander Ran Fang will also come to congratulate you. The Gu family and Commander really have a very good relationship."
"What do you know? This Xichuan Tea House is the commander's business, and Gu Siyuan also works for the commander."
"Really? I think you are talking nonsense. How can Mr. Gu work under the commander?"
People's arguments were getting louder and louder, but Gu Siyuan was a little anxious. After the firecrackers went off, people should come in and taste them.
It was agreed at that time that Ran Fang would stand on the second floor to see how he received these guests and to show off the tea skills he had cultivated.
Now that Ran Fang is not here, he still feels a little disappointed in his heart.
After the sound of firecrackers fell silent, he thought Ran Fang would not come, but he saw Ran Fang pushing aside the crowd and walking towards him.
"I've seen the commander."
Even though Ran Fang was in plain clothes, there was no mistake in the etiquette that Gu Siyuan should do in front of outsiders.
Many people also recognized Ran Fang, followed Gu Siyuan and saluted Ran Fang.
"See the Commander!"
Ran Fang turned his head calmly and said to everyone: "Get up."
"I'm here today because of the affairs of Xichuan Tea House, so I won't talk about these false etiquette."
"I will go in first to taste it, and everyone will come in later."
As he said that, he glanced at Gu Siyuan and walked towards the tea shop.
Gu Siyuan understood immediately, stood up and looked at the people surrounding him, with a happy smile on his face.
"Everyone can come in and taste it!"
"Today is the first day of Xichuan Tea House. All teas are sold at half price."
"If you, sir, have a favorite tea, please leave the name of your residence and someone will deliver it to you personally."
This is the first time people have heard this statement, and they are all a little strange.
Moreover, when some shops opened before, everyone started selling goods directly. This is the first time I have seen such a lively opening.
There was also a chance to taste it for free, so everyone couldn’t wait to squeeze into Xichuan Teahouse.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Siyuan quickly approached Ran Fang and glanced around at the people present.
"Sir, how are things arranged over there?"
"Will someone come here looking for you?"
"I have secretly sent additional manpower. As long as anyone dares to show up, he will never come back!"
Ran Fang stood on the second floor, looking at the people eating tea downstairs with scrutiny in his eyes.
"No, their target is not here."
"Today is the opening. You just need to do things well here. You don't have to worry about other things."
Seeing this, Gu Siyuan said nothing more.
None of the people who came here today were in important positions, so there was no need for him to receive them personally.
He stayed with Ran Fang, serving tea and water.
…
Commanding the Embassy.
Today, because Ran Fang was away and took away most of the guards, there seemed to be much fewer guards at the door than before.
However, there were more guards at the gate of Xianyang Prison than before.
In this way, it can be seen at a glance that there must be some important person imprisoned in Xianyang Prison.
Xu Qiwen stood in the distance and carefully observed the guards in these two places.
"Is the master imprisoned in Xianyang Prison?"
"But today Ran Fang went out and deliberately took so many people away. Did he deliberately make people think that there are no important people in the commander's house?"
Normally, he would be sure that this person must be in Xianyang Prison.
But now that Ran Fang was taking people out, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Just when he was having a hard time making a choice, he suddenly found that there seemed to be some more people at the door of the Commander's Mansion. At first glance, these people were coming in the direction of the Commander's Mansion, and they were coming with bad intentions.
Seeing this, he did not take action, but secretly checked what they wanted to do.
After half an hour, these people really took action!
Maybe they were worried that there would be a trap, so they sent some people to jump in from a wall in the yard, and there was no movement.
The location they chose is very interesting. Although it is the backyard of the Commander's Mansion, it is very close to the location of Xianyang Prison.
If he really found that there was no danger in the commander's mansion, he could jump directly from the yard to Xianyang Prison without being discovered.
Less than half a day after burning the incense, a tree shook on the wall.
Seeing this, these people stood up at the same time, and they all rushed in and jumped into the yard.
"It seems that there is really no one guarding the commander's residence."
"So, this person is really in Xianyang Prison."
"But how do we let them know that there is a thief in the commander's house?"
Thinking about it, Xu Qiwen followed them and jumped in directly.
After entering, he did not follow them to find anyone, but deliberately walked towards the door.
He looked at the guards at the door from a distance and shouted in their direction: "Someone broke in!"
"Someone broke in!"
"Go call someone quickly!"
After speaking, before the guards could react, he ran in the direction of those people.
These guards also reacted very quickly and soon caught up with those people. The two groups were fighting fiercely in the yard for a while.
Xu Qiwen, on the other hand, took advantage of the chaos and ran back towards the original road. As expected, he saw that many of the guards from Xianyang Prison had also left, leaving only a few people standing here.
He climbed over the wall and jumped directly into Xianyang Prison.
Sure enough, there was indeed no one guarding the place. He quickly ran into the cell and saw a man tied by chains, sitting there dejectedly.
The man's hair was messy, and he had been beaten many times, and his original appearance was no longer visible.
However, Xu Qiwen recognized at a glance that this person was his master Xiang Zhuang.
"Owner!"
"I'm here to save you!"
