Chapter 40: This Meat Is Terrible
After half an hour, Zhang Han hurriedly came out of the palace, turned over without the slightest hesitation, and left the palace gate on horseback.
The people who followed behind Zhang Han immediately chased after him when he saw this, and only when he came to the gate of the Imperial History Mansion did he nod and turned to leave.
Zhang Han was attracted by the monopoly of salt and iron at the moment, and he didn't notice that there was a tail behind him.
When he arrived at the gate of the Imperial History Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, and politely said to the little man at the door: "Trouble to report, Shaofu Zhang Han asks to see the Lord of the Imperial History." ”
Hearing this, the little servant glanced at him and ran towards the house.
After a while, I saw that Wang Juan came out in person, and when he saw Zhang Han, his face was full of smiles, and he greeted him very politely: "Rare guest." ”
As he spoke, he took Zhang Han to the front hall of the house, and asked his subordinates to bring a bowl of tea by the way.
Then he looked at Zhang Han and asked, "I don't know what happened when Shaofu came to find the old man?" ”
Sitting opposite Wang Juan, Zhang Han was very polite, and arched his hand and said: "The lower officials don't go around in circles, the salt and iron monopoly proposed by Wang Yushi today, there are some details that the younger generations don't understand, so I came here to ask for advice." ”
Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Han, there was some surprise in his eyes, and he didn't understand how he came to ask for advice.
It stands to reason that His Majesty should let him go to Ran Fangcai, he made this matter very clear, and it was completely brought up by Ran Fang.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Presumably Your Majesty should have told you, you should go to the Xianyang Prison and ask Ran Fang about this matter, and I am afraid that I will ask the wrong person when I come to the old man." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Han showed a trace of disdain on his face, and his attitude was very disdainful.
"In the past few days, I heard that the whole court and the central government are talking about that Ran Fang is a popular person in front of His Majesty, Wang Yushi, don't cover it up for him."
"If he is really extraordinary, can Your Majesty lock him up in that Xianyang Prison? is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, presumably His Majesty is also to help the face of Su Gongzi, so he will pass him on to his god. ”
"This kind of person, I have always disdained to associate with it."
Zhang Han's attitude, Wang Juan didn't expect it, but he can understand it.
Moreover, it is estimated that Zhang Han is not the only one who has this kind of thought.
I'm afraid that this three-star cover in the middle of the court, people who have not seen Ran Fang's "true face" think so.
However, if you dare to say it so blatantly as Zhang Han, I am afraid that he is the only one.
"Master Zhang, you can't talk nonsense, but Ran Fang has a genius, and he brought up the matter of salt and iron monopoly this time."
"The old man also went to prison by chance, and when he heard such horrific words from Ran Fang, he asked him a few more words, he never thought that he would see the current situation of Daqin so thoroughly, this is the solution he proposed for Daqin."
"Since Your Majesty asked you to go to Xianyang Prison, then you will know what Your Majesty means when you go through it."
After all, this matter is related to the lifeblood of Great Qin, and Wang Juan is also a little anxious in his heart, hoping that Ran Fang can really say something faster.
Seeing that Wang Juan said it in a conclusive manner, Zhang Han's heart moved slightly, especially when His Majesty also trusted Ran Fang very much in and out of his words, and he couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.
"In that case, the junior will go to the Xianyang Prison for a walk."
"Yes...... This identity can't be exposed, so can Ran Fang talk to me? ”
"It's better for Yushi to go with me, if there is something wrong with what he said, Lord Yushi can also inform me, I am on the wrong path."
Wang Juan glanced at him, and knew that this person had come to him for this sentence.
Obviously, he didn't believe Ran Fang, and he was worried that His Majesty would blame him, so he had to come to him to pull a cushion.
However, he didn't mind, after all, he also wanted to know how Ran Fang would solve this matter.
"Since the Shaofu is invited, the old man will accompany you on a journey."
"We'll see you at the gate of Xianyang Prison early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Zhang Han nodded slightly, with a triumphant smile on his face, as if the person who was worried just now was not him, "Then the junior will go back first." ”
"No."
……
The next day, at the gate of Xianyang Prison.
Wang Juan got down from the carriage and saw a person behind Zhang Han, who was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, standing with Zhang Han, and the two were standing there waiting for him with smiling faces.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Han also came to greet him in person, and said in a very familiar tone: "Wang Yushi is here, let's go in." ”
Wang Juan glanced at the person behind him, as well as the basket in the man's hand, and thought to himself, what kind of medicine is this person selling in his gourd?
"Who is this man?"
Zhang Han glanced at the person behind him, and explained with a smile: "Xianyang City is in the official salt business, this time the stakes are very high, and there must be a place where he is needed." ”
Hearing this, Wang Juan nodded, feeling that this chapter is doing things safely, and there are people who know how to do it, which can indeed save some trouble.
After speaking, he stepped into Xianyang Prison, and led the two of them to the door of Ran Fang's cell.
Standing at the door, he greeted Ran Fang familiarly before entering the cell.
After bowing his hand, he introduced: "This is a colleague of the old man, named Zhang Yuan, yesterday I heard what I said about Mr., I admired Mr. very much, and I came to see Mr. today." ”
Ran Fang glanced at Zhang Han, this person didn't look very old, but there was a calm and unhurried taste on his body, but his eyes could see that this person was thoughtful.
After introducing Wang Juan, Zhang Han waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately stepped forward, put the bamboo basket on the table very politely, and took out a plate of beef and a pot of wine from it.
After doing all this, he consciously stood at the door of the cell, trying to reduce his sense of presence.
Zhang Han looked at the meat that had been arranged, sat directly in front of Ran Fang, and introduced: "Knowing that Mr. is not living well in prison, he deliberately spent a lot of money to buy some beef and wine, and if you are filial to Mr., I hope Mr. will not blame." ”
Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Han in surprise, didn't he say yesterday that he couldn't look down on Ran Fang?
When he was at the door, he thought he was letting the little guy wait for the record with a bamboo slip, but he didn't expect to sneak this trick.
He looked at his hands, they were empty, and he suddenly had a feeling that he had been calculated by Zhang Han.
scolded in his heart, "Insidious and cunning!" ”
Zhang Han's appearance, even Fusu was dumbfounded, and Ran Fang was actually a little surprised.
You must know that cattle are used for farming, who dares to eat beef in Daqin, even Prime Minister Li Si does not dare to slaughter cattle and eat meat, right?
Seeing their surprise, Zhang Han took the initiative to explain: "Sir, don't worry, this is not a ploughing cow, you can eat it casually." ”
As he spoke, he also saw that everyone didn't speak, looking at himself, he directly picked up a piece of beef with his hand and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, "Don't worry, this is registered, and it will be fine." ”
Ran Fang glanced at the beef, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Han, this person is a sensible person.
"Thank you."
"In this prison, it's a bit bleak."
Looking at their posture, they are here to ask for their own, and Ran Fang eats with peace of mind.
However, as soon as he put the meat in his mouth and chewed it twice, Ran Yi frowned, and then spit out the meat in his mouth without thinking.
Ran Fang's move, the people around him were followed by a burst of flesh pain, you must know how precious this beef is, they usually can't eat it at all.
Without waiting for them to speak, they heard Ran Fang say with some disgust: "Why is this beef so bitter? ”
"It's just a terrible thing, and it spoils all this beef."
