The next day, Zhang Liang moved out of the commander's residence.
But what he didn't expect was that his new residence was actually next door to Miao Yutang, which was good news.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder whether this residence was deliberately arranged by Ying Zheng.
Before he had settled his things, Miao Yutang from next door came to the door with his things.
"Brother Zhang, I heard that you moved here to live. We will be neighbors from now on, and we have to take care of each other."
"Small gifts are not a sign of respect, so don't dislike them."
With a smile on his face, he just held the gift in his hand, waiting for Zhang Liang to take it.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Liang began to think more, did Ran Fang also know this address?
The last time he investigated several of their salt merchants, Ran Fang had already investigated some things, but since they didn't do anything too extreme, Ran Fang put the matter aside for the time being.
Is Ran Fang going to continue investigating them?
But now that they have Liuguang Pavilion in their hands and a place to stay in Xianyang City, wouldn't it be more difficult to investigate?
Thinking of this, he immediately had an idea and signaled his men to take Miao Yutang's gift.
He also smiled and responded: "Thank you."
"Since we are neighbors in the future, we must naturally get along well with each other."
"In the evening, I will invite a few friends to have a drink with me. You are also welcome to come to my house for dinner."
"Ah?" Miao Yutang thought Zhang Liang would kick him out, but he unexpectedly invited him to have dinner with him, which caught him off guard.
But soon, he came to his senses, nodded immediately and said, "Okay!"
"Then I'll come back tonight."
"If there is anything I can help you with, you must ask."
"Seeing as you have other things to do, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he left, his back still looking a little confused.
This house had been cleaned long before Zhang Liang moved in. Now he only needs to bring his own people and put away his own things.
He suppressed his doubts in his heart, put down his things, and left to prepare for work.
…
The bustle of the small shopping mall allowed the businessmen in the city to once again see the profits of this small business.
For a time, Meng Yi became a popular figure again, and there was an endless stream of people going to the business office to look for Meng Yi.
However, no one saw Meng Yi today, and no one in the yamen knew where he had gone. Anyway, he didn't come here today, so these people could only return without success.
At this time, Meng Yi was drinking tea face to face with Sang Hua, and Zhang Liang was sitting next to him.
"Two adults, investigating the business of these shops is your tax office's business, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"
"You two invited me here early this morning just because you wanted the list in my hand. Are you thinking too simply?"
Because the name of the tax bureau was difficult to understand, when Sanghua was making the plaque later, he asked his subordinates to replace the word "bureau" with the word "yamen".
When Zhang Liang saw it, he immediately understood that this was Sang Hua's resistance to Ran Fang.
He didn't take it to heart. He walked into the tax office expressionlessly and greeted the other people inside warmly. He didn't mention it when he saw Sang Hua.
But when he heard Meng Yi say the words "tax yamen" so easily, he felt a sense of betrayal in his heart.
Therefore, when speaking to Meng Yi, he was not so polite.
"Master Meng, how do you say this?"
"We are all working for His Majesty, how can we tell the difference between you and me?!"
"It's just Lord Meng's effort. You are not willing to do it. Could it be that you have some objections to Lord Sang who just took office?"
In one sentence, the conflict was directly directed at Sang Hua, who was sitting on top of him.
Sang Hua was sitting there calmly drinking tea. He was secretly happy when he saw Zhang Liang speaking. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang directly pointed the finger at him.
Although he also felt that Zhang Liang's words were reasonable. After all, this tax office was his territory and he was the one who called Meng Yi here, but when he heard Zhang Liang say this, he still felt like he was being stabbed in the back.
"How did Mr. Zhang say this?"
"I am just thinking about the tax office. There is so much business in Xianyang City, plus the small shopping malls and factories outside. These must be checked as soon as possible. Without Lord Meng's help, how can you and I give His Majesty a Explain?"
"If you are blamed by His Majesty at that time, will you say that you and I are incompetent, or that someone is unwilling to help?"
"Isn't this putting Mr. Meng into injustice?"
Sang Hua obviously had no intention of fighting with Zhang Liang, but wanted to use words to break Meng Yi's psychology.
Sure enough, Meng Yi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. It seemed that they were all good people and he was the bad one.
But then again, Sang Hua's words still make sense.
In addition, he had felt guilty about Ran Fang before, and now it was not easy to take Qiao in front of Zhang Liang.
But, being embarrassed by two juniors like this, where would he put his dignity as a lieutenant general?
"You can't tell, but you two get along very well."
"An exhortation and an embarrassment leave me speechless."
"That's all. Since we are all doing things for His Majesty, we should naturally help each other."
"Let's do this. Come to my place with your people in the afternoon and check out the business in this city for yourself."
"There have been a lot of things going on in my yamen recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you two."
As he spoke, he tilted his head proudly, unwilling to look at their proud faces.
He was still mumbling, "It's just to investigate the business, just go to the store to check the accounts. What's the use of those lists and the price they paid for purchasing the store this time?"
"I really don't understand you!"
Although this was a complaint, it was obvious that he wanted an answer.
Zhang Liang's relationship with Meng Yi was a little better. Seeing that Meng Yi did not understand, he took the initiative to explain to him: "The tax office has been preparing for some time. It is inevitable that they are not prepared."
"But for the sake of the shop, they will definitely show 100% sincerity and strength, otherwise they will lose more than they gain by being disqualified."
"Now you haven't informed me yet, who actually chose the shop, so they still have integrity."
“From their attitude towards paying, we can see their profits during this period.”
"Only by knowing them well can you have an idea when checking the accounts. Otherwise, you will go directly to the investigation without knowing anything, and you will not know if you were deceived."
"It's okay that we suffer a loss. If the tax collection is delayed, who can we afford?"
Now Meng Yi understood and stopped being so stubborn.
Seeing that Sang Hua does not object to Zhang Liang, it shows that the two have the same views.
The two of them had just become colleagues, and they had already begun to speak out in unison, which really made him a little envious. After all, some of the people who cooperated with him had already lost their lives.
"Then... how about going now?"
