After listening to Xiang Jin's words, his eyes were filled with fierceness, and when he looked at Xiang Jin, his eyes were full of disappointment, without any trace of brother-sister friendship.
"Xiang Jin, let's go!"
"You don't have to come see me in the future, there is no one like you in the Xiang family!"
"Your life or death has nothing to do with the Xiang family, and the affairs of the Xiang family have nothing to do with you!"
His attitude was expressed in one sentence. Xiang Jin wanted to say something else, but when she saw the look in his eyes, she swallowed all the words in her mouth.
She looked at Xiang Zhuang with some heartache. Obviously everything she did was for the good of the Xiang family, why couldn't he understand her?
Is it really a good thing to wait until everything else fails and only lonely graves are left?
But looking at Xiang Zhuang's look, he knew that there was no need to talk about this matter.
Her lips trembled and she held back for a moment before she said, "Okay."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Ran Fang about the Xiang family."
"I just hope that everyone can live well, that's all."
After saying that, she glanced at Xiang Zhuang sitting there reluctantly, then turned and left.
When she walked to the door, she saw Cao Yangyun standing at the door. She nodded slightly and left.
She took a few steps and heard the sound of Cao Yangyun's lock falling. Her tears could no longer hold back and flowed down wantonly.
However, she also understood in her heart that if Xiang Zhuang was so stubborn, Ran Fang would definitely not let him go. This might be the last time he saw Xiang Zhuang.
Thinking of this, her tears flowed even more.
After the guards sent her back to the commander's residence, they reported everything she and Xiang Zhuang said in the cell to Ran Fang.
After hearing what Xiang Jin said, Ran Fang did not expect that Xiang Jin had really put down the hatred in his heart.
"Well, I know."
"Have you found the Xiang family's hiding place?"
After Xu Qiwen was arrested last time, they used various means to prevent him from speaking out.
Helpless, Ran Fang had no choice but to ask people to investigate along the mountain where Xu Qiwen disappeared. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the mountain. Every time they were about to find out, others would always find out and even attack them.
As a result, Liu Bang and his people have been investigating for this period of time, but they cannot figure out the specific situation on the mountain, and it is difficult to find the specific location of Xiang Zhuang and others.
This incident also gave Ran Fang a headache. It was a thorn in his heart. Although he was not afraid, he felt very upset.
The guard also knew Ran Fang's thoughts, and said with some embarrassment: "Master Qi, we haven't found out yet."
"During this period, the Xiang family seems to have disappeared, and it has become much quieter on the mountain. The mountain is very big, and my subordinates can't find it for a while."
Now Ran Fang still has a lot to do. With Liu Bang watching Xiang Yu, he is not too worried about causing any big trouble.
"Well, fence the mountain and don't allow anyone to enter."
"If the Xiang family still doesn't come out, then we can lead people to attack the mountain directly."
"When the time comes, I will take Xiang Zhuang with me. I want to see if Xiang Yu is really hard-hearted enough to watch the Xiang family die in front of him."
"This matter must be resolved within ten days."
The guard nodded and trotted away, wanting to quickly convey the news to Liu Bang.
…
In the evening, another uninvited guest came to the commander's house.
This man was none other than Zheng Guo, who had lost his money and face a few days ago. He stood at the door of the Commander's Palace with all kinds of reluctance in his heart. Thinking of his own self-righteousness, he really didn't want to step into Ran Fang's door. .
But there is no way. Your Majesty is keeping an eye on this library matter. If he really follows his own ideas and sets prices at will, he will probably be impeached by officials, and Your Majesty will not let him go.
After thinking about it in the mansion, he came to Ran Fang reluctantly.
After a while of mental preparation, he stepped into the mansion.
When I first walked into the yard, I heard Ran Fang's voice ringing in the yard: "Yes, yes, yes, just pull her around in a circle."
"Pull slowly, don't rush."
Curious, he followed the sound and saw a group of people standing next to a strange round stone, with Ran Fang among them.
There were two people pulling sticks on the stone and circling around the stone.
This scene looks both harmonious and a bit weird.
He stepped forward, saluted Ran Fang and said, "See the commander."
Hearing his voice, Ran Fang turned his head towards him, looking a little surprised.
But it only took a moment before he looked at the round stone again.
"Um."
Zheng Guo, who was ignored, was not angry. He was attracted by the stone in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that there seemed to be some wheat inside the stone.
Moreover, this round stone seemed familiar to him, very similar to Shiya, but it was different from what he had seen before.
Seeing Ran Fang's very focused look, it was hard for him to step forward and interrupt.
He could only follow Ran Fang and watch the guards circle around the stone.
The sound of "creeping" sounded in the yard, and a man put some wheat in the stone pit from time to time.
After a while, some mixed black and white flour seeped out from the edge of the stone. Then he collected it, took out a piece of fine gauze, filtered the flour on it, and finally put it in a porcelain basin. Arriving in front of Ran Fang.
"Sir, it's done."
Zheng Guo was familiar with this thing, but he was still surprised by what Ran Fang was holding. He said loudly: "This is... flour?!"
"Can flour be made from this stone?!"
Hearing his exclamation, Ran Fang ignored it. After all, it was normal for Da Qin to have flour, but the quality was not as good as the one he ground with a stone mill.
Moreover, this thing is unique to nobles and officials. Ordinary people can only eat some steamed wheat, which is not only unpalatable, but also has a bad impact on the gastrointestinal tract.
When he was in prison, Ran Fang's life was very good and he didn't know about these things.
But after he got his own mansion, he only thought of this after seeing him at a servant's dinner table recently.
And he also felt that the pancakes he usually ate were a little too hard and not delicate at all.
Therefore, he thought that making some flour by himself would not only improve his own life, but if it could be done, it would also improve the lives of the people.
He would also like to find more food to eat, but Daqin is currently short of food, and many food crops have not yet been introduced here. Even if he had that idea, there is no way to create things out of thin air.
"Well, how does this compare to the flour you usually eat?"
Ran Fang knew the strength of Zheng Guo, and he was more familiar with the current crops of Da Qin than himself.
If he really wanted to make something, he would naturally need to be used, so he did not hesitate at all and directly placed the flour in front of Zheng Guo.
"This... is so delicate."
"Commander, is this really flour?"
"It's really amazing..."
"If it is made into pancakes, it will definitely be delicious!"
