Regardless of whether Feng Xiao was willing or not, the matter of seeking a position for Ran Fang was still blocked back by Yingzheng.

There was no way, Feng Xiao had no choice but to leave the palace in despair.

Only one night later, the news that Yan Le was arrested and sent to Xianyang Prison spread throughout the government and the opposition.

Although it did not cause a big sensation, it is difficult for people who know the inside story not to connect with Zhao Gao.

This Zhao Gao is the person who has served His Majesty, and he can be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The identity is somewhat special.

Therefore, everyone is waiting for His Majesty's punishment of Zhao Gao.

But Feng Xiao knew that according to Ran Fang's words, His Majesty was afraid that he would not attack Zhao Gao again.

However, he was still very happy to be able to remove such a scourge from the DPRK and China.

It's just that he thought that Ran Fang had helped him so much, but he couldn't ask for an official position for him, and a feeling of guilt suddenly came to his heart.

A few days later, Feng Xiao went to Xianyang Prison again to visit 1 Ran Fang.

Now Ran Fang's cell door is unlocked.

Although there is no clear purpose, it has become a special case.

When he came to Xianyang Prison, Feng Xiao walked directly into the cell where Ran Fang was.

Skillfully placing things on the table, he didn't look cramped at all, and said to him quite excitedly: "Sir, the matter of refined salt has been investigated. ”

"Even that Yan Le is now locked up, I'm afraid he will be beheaded soon."

Ran Fang was looking at the notebook on the table, and when he heard Feng Xiao's words, he shook his head directly.

His eyes did not leave the bamboo slip in his hand, and he said softly: "It's normal, this matter is so big, I always have to find a scapegoat." ”

Hearing this, Feng Xiao looked at Ran Fang with some confusion, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

This matter was investigated by him from beginning to end, and he knew the situation best, even if Zhao Gao wanted to do something, it was not that simple.

"Sir, our Lord Tingwei also got the records of Yan Le's dealings with the salt merchants, and all of them are evidence."

"The evidence of this matter is conclusive, is there anything hidden that cannot be done?"

Only then did Ran Fang raise his head and glance at Feng Xiao, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was laughing at his innocence.

"Yan Le is just a small Xianyang Ling, how could he know the recipe for refined salt?"

"Since there must be a result in this matter, then this result cannot fall on Hu Hai's head, so I can only find someone to take the blame."

"Yan Le is Zhao Gao's cronies, how can he hide His Majesty's eyes, this time it's just to give Hu Hai a step, and also give Zhao Gao a dismount."

"As long as Yan Le is beheaded, then this matter will be settled, and no matter what else is in between, it will disappear with time."

Hearing this, Feng Xiao nodded, but he was a little afraid in his heart.

It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to protect Zhao Gao.

If the Tingwei Mansion is bent on investigating, then he is the one who bears the black pot for Hu Hai.

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me, I will rot in my stomach and won't mention it to anyone."

Zhao Gao and Hu Hai in the next cell, hearing their chat, understood why their food had dropped suddenly in the past few days.

It seems that Yan Le has fallen, and these jailers have also received the news.

It's just that now is not the time to pursue this matter, Hu Hai's eyes are a little worried.

After all, he felt that he knew the "insider" of the refined salt matter.

Hearing that Yan Le was carrying the black pot for himself, he still couldn't believe it.

Looking at Zhao Gao, Hu Hai hesitated: "Sir, this matter is over, right?" ”

Zhao Gao said indifferently on his face: "Second son, don't worry, since the investigation has been clear, Your Majesty should soon release you and me." ”

When Yan Le was asked to deal with the clues of refined salt, he was actually preparing for this day.

As long as he goes to Guanzhong, then he can let all the clues point to him.

When the time comes, he will be speechless.

He knows Ying Zheng best, although the case of Chang Yu was not as good as now, Ying Zheng still endured it a few times before he started.

In order to save face, he will definitely find a substitute for the dead.

In that case, then send this man to them.

……

The matter of refined salt has been investigated clearly, and the matter of refined salt sales on the Gu family's side is also on the right track.

There was a decree on the monopoly of salt and iron, and refined salt seized the vast majority of the market, and salt merchants large and small in the Kanto region were subordinated to the Gu family.

When Gu Zongmin came to Xianyang Prison, the expression on his face was beaming with joy at first glance.

He carried a basket with a blue cloth on it.

Fu Su glanced at him suspiciously, these days the Gu family has often been sent things, and they have become accustomed to it.

However, this Gu Zongmin came, but it was rare.

I saw that Gu Zongmin lifted the cloth of the basket, revealing a few bamboo slips.

"Sir, this is the account of the refined salt in the past few days, please take a look at it."

"Before the news about the eastern region, people's recognition of this refined salt is very high."

"No, I sold so much in just a few days, and today I am here to tell my husband the good news."

Ran Fang glanced at it casually, put it there, and motioned to Fusu to put it all up.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, I believe in the integrity of the Gu family, and these things will not be faked."

"Nothing has happened in the past few days, has it?"

As soon as these words came out, Fusu glanced at Ran Fang a little inexplicably, this is all over to deliver the account book, and the business is naturally normal.

This Ran Fang suddenly asked, as if he wanted something to happen.

However, Gu Zongmin showed a wry smile, and he looked at Ran Fang with some embarrassment.

With a look of wanting to speak and stopping, he wanted to open his mouth and swallowed back the words that came into his mouth.

"Sir, things are like gods, although the refined salt business has been doing well these days."

"Yes...... Salt merchants in other places are unwilling to have their business blocked, and they are always trying to block the Gu family these days. ”

"The business of Xianyang City can still be handled, but the affairs of the field are not so easy to manage, Siyuan will deal with these things now, I am always uneasy in my heart, worried that those salt merchants will jump off the wall in a hurry."

No wonder Gu Zongmin is worried, how many years have these salt merchants been in business, they were originally safe and sound, and they each made their own money, but now their profits have been directly reduced by more than half, who can swallow this breath?

Now it's just troublesome for the Gu family, if you know that this matter is from Ran Fang's mouth, I'm afraid that this Xianyang Prison will not be safe.

Moreover, those salt merchants can do such a big business, and there must be some thugs under them, and those people are ruthless.

Fusu pondered for a moment, and his face could not hide the look of worry, obviously he also thought of this.

"Sir, this matter is quite tricky, if they know that it is Mr. who came up with the formula, I am afraid that it will also be unfavorable to Mr., right?"
