What Ran Fang said, Fusu didn't take it to heart.

After all, with his father in Xianyang City, those small people didn't dare to make any moves.

Every day with Ran Fang in prison, the small life is leisurely, and the two can even walk around the courtyard at will in the early morning and evening, looking at the high walls and sky of the prison, and they are also comfortable.

At this time, the two of them didn't know that the refined salt was no longer unique to the Kanto region.

In just a few days, there is already refined salt in the Guanzhong area.

In order to raise the price, the local salt merchants even said that this refined salt was a gift from heaven, and it was a hundred times better than the coarse salt.

Many people only taste one bite, and then they are reluctant to put it down, even if they are willing to exchange it for one or two.

Not only that, but refined salt has also been found in other places one after another, and this matter has spread in the upper class, and the refined salt is even more difficult to find.

In less than five days, this matter reached Yingzheng's ears.

At this time in Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng sat on the high platform with a calm face, and there was a piece of music handed over today on the table.

In the middle of the main hall stood Li Si, Wang Xuan, Zhang Han and others, and there were broken porcelain bowls at their feet.

"How the hell did this get out?!"

The crowd bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak.

After a while, Zhang Han bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is quite strange. ”

"This refined salt has not been sold in Xianyang City, but it has been spread to the land of Guanzhong, and someone must have deliberately told the method of this refined salt."

"So, you should find out this person first."

Who knows this truth, if someone didn't spread it on purpose, how could anyone in the Guanzhong area know?

And the speed of transmission is so fast, someone must be behind it.

But who is this man?

No one dares to make a conclusion lightly.

After Zhang Han finished speaking, Ying Zheng's face had returned to normal, if it weren't for the fragments on the ground, no one would be able to see the anger he had just now.

"In Qing's opinion, who should have spread this matter?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at each other, and no one dared to make up their minds easily.

Moreover, this matter has not yet been investigated, and I am afraid that anyone involved in this matter is possible.

And when it comes to Ran Fang, no one dares to touch this mold at this time.

In Ying Zheng's gaze, Li Si stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation. ”

"There are not many people who know how to make salt, and those who collaborate with the enemy must be among them."

I have to say that Li Si's trick is really high.

This matter must be investigated clearly, and the most likely person is Prime Minister Li Si, after all, this matter is widely implicated, and it is not so simple to investigate.

But Li Si directly pushed this matter to the Tingwei Mansion, and he also came out of the Tingwei Mansion, so there would naturally be his people there.

In this way, this matter is still in the hands of Li Si, but he does not have to bear any responsibility.

Hearing this, Tingwei Feng Xiao stepped forward, stood in the middle of the main hall, glanced at Li Si before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is a little strange. ”

"Not many people know about this, and even the minister has heard of it for the first time."

"Even if this method of making salt spreads, those people will not say it easily, so they naturally know where this method came from."

"It's better to arrest those people directly, first, to ensure that the development of salt production will not leak out again, and second, to directly investigate the people behind this matter, killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and Feng Xiao's words spoke to his heart.

What I am most worried about now is that if this method is known by more people, the advantages of Xianyang City will be gone.

The most important thing is that he is worried that if this matter reaches Ran Fang's ears, it will definitely cause Ran Fang's anger, and then the matter will not end well.

"Yes."

"This matter will be handed over to Tingwei to investigate, and it will definitely be investigated!"

Everyone immediately bowed down and said, "Oh! ”

When everyone came out of Xianyang Palace, Feng Xiao walked quickly to Li Si's side, avoiding everyone and asked softly, "Prime Minister, why do you have to agree to this matter?" ”

"Isn't the matter of salt and iron investigated by Zhang Han?"

"Isn't that a burning?"

No wonder Feng Xiao can't figure it out, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem within the imperial court.

It is even possible that Na Ran Fang himself sold the recipe a few more times.

In either case, it is an unacceptable outcome for Ying Zheng.

In particular, Ran Fang is now the celebrity in front of His Majesty, if there is really a problem with Ran Fang, then His Majesty will definitely be angry with the person who investigated, and then the whole Tingwei Mansion will not be able to escape.

Li Si knew what he meant, he smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely not involve you." ”

"That old man Ran Fang understands that he will not do such a treacherous thing, I am afraid that there is someone else in this matter."

"If that's the case, then you can think about who's the most likely person to benefit if this matter is publicized?"

Feng Xiao was skeptical of Li Si's words, especially for Ran Fang's person, he had never seen it, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion easily.

But the person who can benefit from this matter, he really has to think about it.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, the lower officials know."

……

A few days later, Xianyang Prison.

In the morning, Ran Fang took Fusu in the prison compound, and the two were waving their hands and doing "radio gymnastics".

The two of them were sweating profusely, but they could also see that the spirit on their faces was very good.

Feng Xiao stood at the gate of Xianyang Prison, dressed in regular clothes, and watched with relish.

When the two of them finally stopped, he stepped forward and gave a literati salute to Ran Fang and Fusu, and his tone was very humble: "I've seen Mr." ”

Ran Fang was about to go back to the cell to wipe his face, but was stopped by Feng Xiao.

He glanced at Feng Xiao and was sure that he had never seen this person.

"Who are you?"

While talking, Ran Fang and Fusu did not stop, and continued to walk in the direction of the cell.

Feng Xiao followed behind the two of them and said respectfully: "Mr. Hui, I am just a petty official of the Tingwei Mansion, and my surname is Feng Mingqi. ”

"I heard that Mr. has a way to be promoted here, so I came to ask Mr. for it."

Hearing this, Ran Fang paused, glanced back at Feng Xiao, and didn't seem to expect him to say this.

He wanted to laugh a little, where did this news come from?

"Really?"

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked to the door of the cell.

Ran Fang and Fusu were in the basin at the door, washing their faces and hands.

After doing his own thing, Ran Fang glanced at Feng Xiao seriously, thinking that this person seemed to be a smart person, and he was still polite in his words and deeds.

I don't know where I heard the rumors to believe such a thing.

With a smile in the corner of his eye, he asked, "Where did you hear this rumor?" ”

Feng Xiao saw that Ran Fang didn't believe his words, and his eyes were a little anxious and took a step forward.

"Mr. Mingjian, I also heard from my colleague about this matter, and he said that Mr. is a rare person in the world."

"If you have any questions, you can always find an answer here."

"Please sir, I am willing to give a hundred gold."

This is the greatest sincerity of a petty official, if these things are taken out, I am afraid that he will have to save his family property again in the future.

Feng Xiao knew, and Ran Fang naturally knew.

Seeing that he was so sincere, and his expression was very serious, Ran Fang laughed out loud.

"Tell me, what's the problem?"

Seeing that Ran Fang was relieved, Feng Xiao immediately spoke: "Don't dare to deceive Mr., in recent days, there has been a capable person in Xianyang City who has made that coarse salt into refined salt, and the taste is a hundred times better than before." ”

"This was originally the secret technique of the Gu family, but now there is the same refined salt in all parts of Daqin, Your Majesty ordered to investigate this matter thoroughly, Lord Tingwei had no clue, so he ordered that if someone could provide a clue, he could be promoted to an official and rewarded with a thousand silver."
