Hearing this, Fusu was shocked, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

He glanced at Ran Fang, but Ran Fang's expression was as usual, but the smile on his face disappeared.

There are not many people who know about refined salt, and if they can spread it, they must be one of these people.

That matter is usually investigated secretly, but now it is handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation, and some of the key points are still thought of by Ran Fang.

Ran Fang sat on the couch, glanced at Feng Xiao a few times, and asked, "This matter should be the responsibility of the Gu family, and it is related to the official who is in charge of salt and iron." ”

"Why do you want the Tingwei Mansion to investigate? Aren't you afraid that this matter will be publicized? ”

"Besides, if this matter is investigated, it must involve some important people, how can these people be moved by your small officials?"

Knowing that Ran Fang was not so easy to fool, Feng Xiao had already thought of his rhetoric.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he lowered his head and whispered, "Sir really sees things thoroughly. ”

"Just because the people involved in this matter are all powerful people, and Lord Tingwei is not easy to deal with, so he found another way to find clues from those salt merchants."

"But the salt merchant had already made an argument and found a scapegoat, and the matter reached an impasse."

"Lord Tingwei has ordered that whoever can provide clues will be promoted to a position and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

"That's why I dared to come here and ask my husband to show me the way."

After hearing what happened, Ran Fang had a plan in his heart, and he was afraid that this Tingwei Mansion would not be able to shirk, so he had to take over this errand.

The person in the dark is not a fool, since he dares to let the salt merchant be so blatant, he must have something to rely on, either he is powerful, or he is very secretive in this matter, and he will definitely not leave any traces.

According to the results of Tingwei's investigation now, Ran Fang is more inclined to the second possibility.

However, he had a bold guess in his heart, and he was afraid that this matter was deliberately done by the person behind the scenes, but he didn't know who he was targeting.

"What about the people who caught them?"

Seeing Ran Fang ask, Feng Xiao didn't dare to hide anything, and said directly: "They are all locked up in the prison of Tingwei Mansion for the time being, and after investigation, there is nothing wrong with these people, but they are being used." ”

"According to Lord Tingwei's intentions, since they don't know anything, then teach them a lesson and let them go, it's useless to keep them."

Seeing that Ran Fang didn't speak, he thought for a moment in his heart, and cautiously asked, "Then according to Mr. Yi's meaning, these people can't be released?" ”

"Definitely," Ran Fang shook his head, this Tingwei is also a wonderful person.

In this case, if you dare to take over this matter, and arrest those salt merchants' scapegoats so quickly, it can be regarded as decisive.

And knowing that these people are not the masterminds, they can order them to be released, and they can be called above board if they are not scapegoated for this matter.

It's just that too much integrity has become a disadvantage.

"These people don't know anything, but they are useful."

"After all, the people behind the scenes can't be sure that what they are plotting must be foolproof."

"If there is news from the Tingwei Mansion that this matter has been raised and is related to the people who were arrested, presumably the people behind the scenes will definitely find a way to deal with these people."

"Isn't that the result of this?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiao's eyes lit up, he didn't think so.

I have always spoken with evidence, and I have never used these small means, and I always feel that I am not above board.

But Ran Fang's words did provide him with ideas, but he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, "Mr. is reasonable. ”

"But what if the person behind the scenes isn't fooled?"

Ran Fang smiled contemptuously, he looked down on this kind of person who engaged in petty means.

"If you are a thief, there is no reason not to be afraid."

"Since the person behind this scene is doing this, it must be for profit, as long as his own interests have not been obtained, he will not give up this matter."

"Besides, this is a big crime that is very headless, and he will definitely do it."

Hearing his words, Feng Xiao was shocked in his heart, this Ran Fang's idea was the same as Prime Minister Li Si's.

No wonder the prime minister said that if there is any problem with this matter, you can come and ask Ran Fang what he means, he has seen things most thoroughly.

And so it was.

"Taught."

"I also want to ask Sir, who does he think is most likely to do this?"

Ran Fang didn't speak, just stared at Feng Xiao for a while.

Then he shook his head, "No one dares to say anything about this, and you will know it then." ”

Feng Xiao had no choice but to nod, he knew that Ran Fang would not say it easily, but he still asked with anticipation.

However, he is already very satisfied with the current result, at least giving him a direction.

"Thank you, sir, I know how to do it."

……

Following Ran Fang's advice, in less than a day, Feng Xiao spread the word about the eyebrows.

Hu Hai in the palace couldn't sit still, if this matter was known by his father, then he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

At this time, Zhao Gao also came, and when he saw Hu Hai's breathless appearance, he sighed a little.

"I've seen the second son."

After saluting, he waved his hand to let all the people in the hall retreat.

After everyone left, Hu Hai got up in a hurry, took Zhao Gao's hand and asked, "Sir, what should I do about this?" ”

"If my father knows, then I ...... That's it......"

He whispered the last few words, and from time to time he looked to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside.

Zhao Gao pulled Hu Hai to sit on the couch, and he personally poured Hu Hai a glass of water and put it on the table.

comforted: "Second son, you can relax, there are slaves and maids to help you do this, and no one will find out about your head." ”

"You just have to be good in this palace, don't worry about anything, even if something happens, there are slaves and maids to help you bear it."

Listening to Zhao Gaoqing's sincere words, Hu Hai's heart swelled with emotion.

He looked at Zhao Gao with tears in his eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you, sir." ”

"If it weren't for my husband's plan, how would I be where I am now?"

"If he rises to the top one day, he will not forget everything that my husband has done for me."

Hearing him say this, Zhao Gao was also relieved.

He had already dealt with this matter, so he wouldn't believe a word of Tingwei Feng Xiao's words.

It's just that I'm worried that Hu Hai, a fool, will be frightened by this news and do something unpredictable.

That's why he came to take this trip, and now that he is sure that Hu Hai is fine, he is confident.

"The second son is polite, it is an honor for the slave to be able to do these things for Mr."

"Then the slave and maid will go back first, Your Majesty still has important things waiting for you."

Hu Hai nodded hurriedly, and the gratitude in his heart was even greater.

"Sir, walk slowly."

After Zhao Gao left, Hu Hai thought of what Zhao Gao had just said, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

He knew that Zhao Gao was very good to him, but he didn't expect it to be so good, and he had to comfort himself in his busy schedule, even his father couldn't do it.

Thinking of Zhao Gao's messy steps just now, he felt that this matter must be quite tricky.

Zhao Gao thinks about him so much, can he accept it so comfortably?

No way!

He should also do something for Zhao Gao.

"Someone!"

Immediately, an entourage walked in and stood there respectfully waiting for Hu Hai's orders.

Hu Hai waved his hand to bring him closer, whispered a few words in his ear, and the man turned to leave.

Looking at the back of his entourage leaving, he muttered in a low voice, "I hope it can help Mr." ”
