Ran Fang had no intention of hiding the siege of Xiang Yu. He not only told Ying Zheng, but also publicized the matter in the city.
His purpose was to spread the news to Xiang Yu's ears, as well as the arrest of Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Jin.
According to Xiang Yu's reckless temperament, he will definitely find a way to rescue them, even regardless of his own siege.
However, with Fan Zeng by Xiang Yu's side, he might be able to stop him a little, but after running out of food, Xiang Yu's anger will definitely reach its peak, and he will definitely take action when the time comes.
But there was one thing that Ran Fang didn't expect. Before Xiang Yu came down the mountain to find him, the news about the second scientific examination had already spread in the city.
With the lessons learned from the past, many officials participated in this scientific expedition, which gave this scientific examination enough face.
Suddenly, the people in the city began to become lively again, and it became difficult for the guards to monitor the city gate.
Because people attach great importance to this scientific examination, there are always some people who want to come in to inquire about the information, and there are people who have studied for the nearby scientific examination and returned to Xianyang City to prepare for the scientific examination.
These people always have to buy food, so there are a lot of records at the food store, which increases the workload a lot, so there will always be people complaining.
Zhang Liang was in charge of affairs in the city, and he reported the news to Ran Fang with some concern.
"Sir, everyone needs to register. The speed of Qian Shou entering the city has been a lot slower. Many Qian Shou are beginning to complain."
"The grain store is also a lot slower. Some people have already reported the matter to the Xianyang Order. I am afraid that the Xianyang Order will also come to talk to you about this matter."
"How to solve it?"
Hearing this, Ran Fang's face was not only lifeless, but he actually laughed.
Everything he did during this period seemed secretive, but he had already made it known to everyone.
Therefore, what he was waiting for was for someone to show up and cause trouble, which meant that Xiang Yu had someone in the city.
Now it seems that his guess is correct. The Xiang family is really a hundred-footed insect that does not freeze even when it is dead.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Liang, with a half-smile expression on his face, "Zhang Liang, when you were running a wine shop in Xianyang City, did you follow Xiang Yu's advice and have you contacted anyone in the city?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately understood what Ran Fang meant.
Since he was able to gain a foothold in Xianyang City, and after he was absorbed by Ran Fang, the Xiang family was able to have no fear in the city, it meant that the Xiang family still had other back-ups, otherwise people would have come looking for him long ago.
Just like Feng Anfu, isn't it a good example?
"Sir, I don't have any news."
"Even Feng Anfu, whom Liu Bang captured, was only known to his subordinates later."
"But my subordinates speculate that His Majesty has left the scientific examination to Feng Quji, and Feng Anfu is related to Xiang Zhuang, so is Feng Quji that person?"
"Otherwise this would be too much of a coincidence?"
This matter has been made clear, and Zhang Liang's guess is understandable.
However, Ran Fang felt that this matter should be related to Feng Quji, but since Feng Quji could sit in the position of prime minister, he would not be stupid and would expose himself in this situation.
The most important thing is that there is nothing wrong with Feng Anfu being a member of the Feng family, but his relationship with Feng Quji has always been bad. Otherwise, Feng Anfu would have come to find him long ago if Feng Anfu had been arrested for so long.
"This matter still needs to be investigated. Feng Quji is the Prime Minister after all. If he wants to investigate, he must obtain His Majesty's consent."
"If there is no conclusive evidence, the crime of slandering the ministers of the DPRK is not small."
"First investigate the other officials involved in the scientific expedition. If anyone is suspected, you can arrest them directly!"
"As for the registration of city gates and grain stores, we will suspend it for a few days."
Zhang Liang glanced at Ran Fang in disbelief. What he meant was that as long as it was not Feng Quji, he could arrest officials in the court directly without going through Ying Zheng.
You must know that although Feng Quji has the highest official position among the people participating in the scientific examination this time, the identities of the others cannot be underestimated. If he really arrests people at will, even if there are many ginseng and Ran Fangyi This is it.
He hesitated and said, "Here."
"But if it reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid it will embarrass you."
Ran Fang smiled without saying anything and waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang didn't know what to say. He raised his hand and went to do his own thing.
After he left, Ran Fang looked in the direction of the back room.
"Come out."
Hearing the sound, a person came out of the back room, it was Fusu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
After his identity was revealed by Ran Fang, he was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly in the back room and walked out with a smile.
"Haha, how did sir know that I was here?"
Ran Fang sighed helplessly. Everyone in his mansion belonged to him. How could the guards not tell him who came?
Still thinking of eavesdropping is simply audacious.
He did not save any face for Fusu and said directly: "When you came in, my people already told me."
Fusu pretended to be angry and sat directly on the chair next to Ran Fang.
He glanced at the guards in the room and said angrily: "We've agreed, they won't tell you!"
"You can't believe what you say!"
Ran Fang ignored his anger, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This Fusu usually looks very stable, but for some reason he always shows up to be so average when things happen to him.
Do you still think he is a child?
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore."
"Why did you come here today?"
Hearing this, Fusu couldn't pursue the matter anymore.
But the sad expression on his face was still there, and there was even some sadness in his eyes.
"I heard that you sent a kind of food called dumplings to my father a few days ago, but why didn't I?"
"I actually heard about this from someone in the palace. It's been a few days, but you haven't thought of sending me some. Why?"
Perhaps because the two of them had been in Xianyang Prison for a long time, Fusu would always inadvertently show some childish side in front of Ran.
Just like now, if he really wanted it, he could go directly to the palace and let the imperial chef eat it.
But now, Ran Fang must ask for an explanation.
Hearing his words, Ran Fang really smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that Fu Su would come to him to ask for an explanation for some food.
"The majestic Prince of Qin actually came to my residence for food. I'm afraid people will laugh out loud if I tell you."
"If you want it, just send someone to your mansion to say something, and I will send someone to your mansion."
"Okay, take back that expression of yours, why did you come here today?"
"Say it."
