Sure enough, when the news came that the scientific examination would be held in batches, the complaining heads of Guizhou in the city immediately changed their attitudes, and many even expressed their gratitude to Ying Zheng.
Moreover, with Ran Fang's help, the news quickly spread throughout Xianyang City, making everyone inside and outside Great Qin aware of it.
Nowadays, people only praise the scientific research in their discussions, and no one wants to cause trouble.
Naturally, Xiang Yu's plan came to nothing.
As a result, Xiang Yu, who was sitting in the mountain, couldn't bear it anymore, especially since every one of his schemes could be seen through by Ran Fang. This was simply a great shame and humiliation!
There was nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only rustle the sword in his hand in the open space in the yard.
An hour later, he put the 㦸 in his hand on the ground with a bang, making a big hole in the ground.
But there was still nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he could only stand there and gasp loudly.
Fan Zeng came out of the room and admonished: "Okay, come back and have a rest."
Xiang Yu just stood there and returned to the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he sat directly on the couch and looked at Fan Zeng with uncontrollable hatred in his eyes.
"Father, unless Ran Fang gets rid of the truth, it will be difficult to suppress the hatred in my heart!"
"I will go down the mountain immediately, chop off that Ran Fang's head, and pay homage to the ghosts of our Xiang family soldiers!"
The expression on Fan Zeng's face was also very ugly, but when he saw Xiang Yu being so angry, he calmed down his expression slightly.
He personally poured Xiang Yu a cup of tea, placed it on the table in front of him, and sat back down in his seat.
"I really didn't expect that this Ran Fang would be so difficult to deal with."
"Don't be so excited. He has thought of all this and is just waiting for you to take the bait."
"I'm afraid that as soon as you enter this city now, you will be discovered by Ran Fang's people immediately. Don't forget that Zhang Liang has already joined Ran Fang."
When Zhang Liang was mentioned, Xiang Yu's face became even more angry.
But he had to admit that what Fan Zeng said did make some sense.
He picked up the tea in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste rushed into his throat. He frowned and spit out the tea in his mouth with a "pop".
"Pooh!"
"What the hell is this! Why does it taste so bad?!"
After saying that, he looked at the tea cup in his hand, his eyes of disgust not hiding at all.
He put the tea cup on the table with a "pop" sound and shouted angrily: "Ran Fang! You are simply bullying others!"
Fan Zeng felt a little heartbroken when he saw him so moody and angry.
But now that he had seen through Ran Fang's true story, how could he be willing to let Xiang Yu take the risk?
"I know you are depressed, but this matter needs long-term consideration."
"Now Ran Fang has not only solved the scientific research issue, but also has people guarding us at the foot of the mountain. He wants to besiege us in this mountain. He is really a character."
"Fortunately, there is still some food in the mountains. He is still a little naive if he wants to trap us without a fight."
Having said that, if Xiang Yu raised his head at this moment, he could see the sadness in Fan Zeng's eyes.
In order not to reveal their identity and not arouse suspicion, and because they didn't have enough money, every time they went down the mountain to buy food, they only bought enough for a few days.
Nowadays, the food rations in this mountain are running low, and I am afraid that so many people will not be able to survive for even five days.
Fan Zeng didn't want Xiang Yu to worry about such things, so he never mentioned these things to him.
However, Xiang Yu's thoughts were very simple and he never worried about these things. He only cared about venting the frustration in his heart. How could he care about these things?
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Father."
"But... we can't wait forever, right?"
"Now Xiang Jin and Xiang Zhuang are in his hands. If he really harms them, what should we do?"
"Why don't I go down the mountain quietly to have a look and explore Ran Fang's background? I won't arouse other people's suspicions."
"Father, please let me go."
Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang have a very good relationship. Xiang Zhuang has been by his side through so many things. Now that Xiang Zhuang has something going on, he absolutely cannot stand by and watch.
Fan Zeng naturally knew this truth, but he was also more worried about Xiang Yu's safety, so he comforted him: "Let's wait for the moment. There is no news about Xiang Zhuang now. It is possible that Ran Fang deliberately released the news."
"If we wait a few more days, if it is confirmed that Xiang Zhuang has really been arrested by Ran Fang, it will not be too late for us to take action at that time!"
Seeing that Fan Zeng spoke so seriously, Xiang Yu didn't know what to say.
He could only nod helplessly and said with some boredom, "Okay, then I'll listen to my father."
"If there is no news about Xiangzhuang in two days, I will go to Xianyang City myself!"
Fan Zeng didn't refuse this time, and he couldn't help but stand by and watch while Xiang Zhuang was imprisoned.
…
Commanding the Embassy.
Ran Fang was sitting on a chair. There was a round and white plate of something on the table next to him, which looked exactly like steamed buns.
Looking at this plate of steamed buns, the expression on Ran Fang's face was very relaxed and happy. He could already imagine how he could make more money by opening a restaurant in the future.
However, Zhang Liang and Liu Bang, who were standing below at this moment, did not look so good-looking.
Liu Bang, in particular, looked at Ran Fang with a trace of nervousness, and when his eyes touched the plate of steamed buns, there was also a trace of doubt.
But now is not the time, Xiang Yu's matters are still the most important.
"It's because my subordinates are not doing their job well. They haven't found any information even after such a long time."
"Moreover, there is still no movement among the people on the mountain in the past few days. Among the rural people that my subordinates have been watching, no one is selling grain in the past few days."
"Without those people's clues, what should we do about this matter?"
Zhang Liang did not know about the siege of the mountain, and he only got the news later.
He knew Ran Fang's intention, but he still felt a little dissatisfied with this matter.
Therefore, today he and Liu Bang came together to persuade Ran Fang not to use such cruel methods.
"Sir, there are not only people from the Xiang family in this mountain, I'm afraid there are other people as well."
"If the mountain is surrounded in order to catch them, wouldn't other people in the mountain also suffer?"
"Why don't you let your subordinates lead people to rush up the mountain and arrest everyone in the Xiang family!"
Ran Fang's eyes passed over their bodies, and finally landed on Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang has been in the city these days, and now he suddenly came to him to talk about this matter. It is difficult not to suspect that he has other ideas.
However, he did not intend to answer Zhang Liang's question, but said to Liu Bang: "Don't worry."
"According to Liu Bang's temperament, there are some things he cannot bear."
"He has been hit hard enough in the past few days. I think the news must have reached his ears. He will definitely not be able to endure it forever."
"Just wait, he will come down the mountain in less than three days. All you need to do is set up an ambush in the mountain, and I will catch him without bloodshed!"
"Zhang Liang, since you already know about this, and you also know people from the Xiang family, then you two should do this together. I will arrest everyone in the Xiang family without landing."
