Chapter 116: It's a Foregone Conclusion
Overnight, the news of Zhao Gao's imprisonment spread throughout Xianyang City.
And those officials who were wronged were also released from Xianyang Prison overnight, and as for those who were in the same stream as Zhao Gao, they were also imprisoned in the prison of Tingwei's Mansion one by one.
This incident caused a huge shock in the DPRK and China, and they speculated that there would definitely be many officials who would be promoted.
As for those who have been wronged, they will definitely raise their eyebrows when they are released from prison in the future.
It's just that because the corruption has not been investigated, they are still in prison for the time being, but the treatment is much better, and the cell has been replaced by an ordinary cell.
Qi Cao, who received the news, came to Xianyang Prison with some gratitude, and also brought some ordinary food, thinking about thanking Ran Fang.
As soon as he entered Xianyang Prison, he didn't even think about looking for the adults of his family, so he came directly to the door of Ran Fang's cell.
He put his things on the table and knelt straight towards Ran Fang.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my family's life!"
Hearing the commotion, the officials and their families who were talking about the aftermath of the catastrophe pricked up their ears to listen to the voice.
Because everyone in the court knows that the person who can be called Mr. in prison is afraid that there is only that magical Ran Fang.
So when they heard that it was Ran Fang who saved an adult, they all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear what happened.
There are people who are sensitive to things, and they immediately think of being unjustly imprisoned this time.
And Ran Fang, seeing Qi Cao kneeling on the ground again, some helplessness flashed on his face.
He can understand the thinking of the ancients, and when he meets a saint and someone who is older than himself, he must kneel and salute, but he still can't accept it if he kneels down to himself as a Confucian at every turn.
"You don't have to be so ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Qi Cao kowtowed to him three times, and then stood up, with a very respectful attitude on his face.
Seeing that his movements were so crisp and neat, Ran Fang didn't know what to say.
"Sit down."
"Sit down and talk about something."
With the experience of last time, this time Qi Cao did not twist, and sat directly opposite Ran Fang, but it was still the same as last time, a little far away from Ran Fang.
And the whole person is very respectful, sitting there with a serious appearance.
"Mr. saved my family, and I should kowtow to Mr."
"If it weren't for Mr. reminding me, I wouldn't have thought of finding evidence, and Mr. asked someone from the Tingwei Mansion to come to me, so that I could give justice to my family!"
"The people of the Tingwei Mansion also praised Your Majesty, and they all said that if Mr. hadn't reminded him this time, I am afraid that they would not have been able to find evidence of Zhao Gao, and all this was due to Mr.
"These meals are all filial piety to Mr., my family is incorruptible, and there is not much money in the house, so I can only buy these things, and I hope Mr. will not mind."
Ran Fang looked at those things, they were indeed not good things, especially compared to the ones Li Si and the others brought, they were not worth mentioning.
But he could see that this person was definitely putting his heart into it.
"It doesn't matter."
"That's already good, thank you."
Seeing Ran Fang say this, Qi Cao was even more embarrassed, and his face showed a rare look of embarrassment.
"Sir, now that Your Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate the corruption, and Zhao Gao will be punished for car splitting in three days, this is all the credit of Mr."
"I heard that the Tingwei Mansion is investigating overnight, and it is determined to find out all the evidence of Zhao Gao's crime within these three days, and he will give His Majesty an explanation, so he is now locked up in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion."
"That's a lot of fun."
"I just don't know, can my family's Xianyang Order be kept?"
When he spoke, he could clearly feel Qi Cao's pleasure.
The matter has already come to an end, and Zhao Gao has no chance to make waves again, which is also a good thing for Ran Fang, which shows that his arrival still has some impact.
"Don't worry, the official position of your family will not have any impact."
"Since he was wronged, it is natural that after clearing up the grievances, he can be reinstated, if it involves an official who is in prison, then what's the point of arresting Zhao Gao?"
"Besides, the officials in this court are all selected at all levels, and each official position has its own mission, even if you want to change again, you have to find a suitable candidate."
"Although the laws of Great Qin have been strict for more than a hundred years, Your Majesty also knows that rewards and punishments are clear, and this time the minister who was wrongfully imprisoned, Your Majesty will naturally give something."
Hearing Ran Fang say this, Qi Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and the officials who were imprisoned were also relieved.
They also heard that the person who could sit and talk with Ran Fang was the person who was honest and talented in Xianyang.
Now many people are speculating that if they can win Ran Fang's favor, will this Lian Liangcai be promoted?
Some people are also annoyed, they already knew that they would let their family members go to prison to be close to Ran Fang, maybe they could also get into the eyes of His Majesty.
They didn't know what they thought, Ran Fang and Qi Cao, and they were still talking about their own things.
"Thank you, sir, for mentioning it, then the old slave will rest assured."
"Sir, I heard that the people who assassinated you last time have all been caught, and they are all from Zhao Gao's faction."
"I guess the assassin won't die well this time."
After so long of the assassination, Ran Fang didn't pay attention to it.
Now that he heard Qi Cao say it, he was still a little surprised, but he didn't expect that there were still people chasing after so long.
"So, I'm relieved."
"Why did Zhao Gao kill me?"
Qi Cao didn't speak, just shook his head, after all, this question was not something he could answer.
It was Fusu, who heard Qi Cao's words, and suddenly thought that when Zhao Gao came that day, it was just the time to send the trap box over at this moment.
In this way, Zhao Gao came over that time, but he just wanted to see if this mechanism was useful?
If this is the case, then Zhao Gao is too bold.
However, now that he thought about it, he didn't dare to say it, he was also worried that Qi Cao would say too much here, so that Ran Fang would know something.
"Now that the matter has come to an end, then your family is estimated to be back home soon, so you don't have to go back to clean up?"
This is the order to expel the guest, Qi Cao immediately understood, he immediately stood up and saluted respectfully towards Ran Fang and Fusu.
"Thanks for the reminder."
"It's only been a day or two since my family was released from prison, so I'll go back."
"Thank you, sir, in the future."
With that, he got up and left.
Seeing that Ran Fang was still thinking about Zhao Gao's affairs, Fusu was a little anxious in his heart, and he must find a way to divert Ran Fang's attention.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Sir, now that the matter of refined salt has been resolved. ”
"Then Daqin's tax revenue will definitely be able to raise a level, and the world will be stable, right?"
Hearing his voice, Ran Fang suddenly came back to his senses, looked into his eyes for a moment, and shook his head affirmatively.
"Definitely."
"I'm afraid it's going to be messy!"
Fu Su was just asking casually, but he didn't expect to get this answer, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
"Chaos?"
