Chapter 273: Confrontation Between Words
After letting his subordinates investigate for a few days, Li Si once again hid everything he had done before, and then came to the commander's mansion with gifts.
As soon as he thought of the matter of the school, it was Ran who mentioned it to Yingzheng, and he was a little more angry with Ran Fang.
But when he saw Ran Fang, he showed a very kind expression on his face, and his eyes were full of love for Ran Fang, as if he was looking at a junior who he hadn't seen for a long time.
He sat on the chair and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but Mr. looks a little more rounded than before." ”
"It seems that your life in the house is much more leisurely."
Now Ran Fang's official position is not low, there is no need to salute Li Si, but Ran Fang does not have to bow down to him.
And Li Si is much older than him, so it is not wrong to call him by a name, but now Li Si still calls him a sir.
This polite tone made Ran Fang a little more vigilant.
The prime minister laughed.
"I'm just an idle petty official, living a peaceful life in the mansion."
"I don't know why the prime minister came today?"
Hearing this, Li Si sighed, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
glanced at the furnishings of Ran Fang's house, as if he was really interested in Ran Fang's life.
In the end, his gaze fell on Ran Fang's face, and he seemed to say helplessly: "Don't hide it, sir, the old man is old now, although he has the name of prime minister, he will inevitably feel powerless to do things in the court." ”
"I'm a little envious of being as comfortable as you."
"Now it's just that His Majesty values it, and he can still do something for His Majesty in the court."
Seeing that what he said didn't match the words, Ran Fang still didn't know what he was going to say.
However, he could guess that it should be for the sake of the school.
After all, it's a costly and thankless errand.
Presumably Li Si already knew that he had brought up this matter, and now that he had come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, it was best if he could "know" this matter with "interest".
In this way, His Majesty is not good at saying anything, and Li Si also has a good reputation.
It's a pity that Li Si's abacus was wrong, and he had no intention of swallowing it anymore when he pushed this matter out.
He looked at Li Si and smiled, although the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but in Li Si's eyes, it meant to flatter.
"The prime minister said with a smile, I just have to be loved by His Majesty to get a place to rest in this city temporarily."
"If I do something wrong one day and annoy Your Majesty, then I should take back these kindnesses."
"It is an honor for the courtiers to be able to relieve His Majesty's worries, and now I can chat with Your Majesty from time to time and do something I like, so I naturally want to thank Your Majesty."
"I am a little envious of the prime minister, to be able to win His Majesty's trust so much, no matter what, His Majesty is willing to let the Prime Minister do it, this is His Majesty's grace, and others can't envy it."
As soon as these words came out, Li Si's face suddenly became ugly.
He knew that Ran Fang had already guessed his intentions, and he didn't want to be taken over by the school's affairs at all, and even said that if he didn't take this matter happily, it would be for His Majesty after all.
Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and now His Majesty is willing to let him do this, which is naturally a trust in him.
Having said that, if he has any other ideas, it is that he does not know what to do.
"Unexpected...... The gentleman saw things so thoroughly, and the old man understood it. ”
"However, when the old man came today, there is still one more matter, I wonder if Mr. can solve the doubt?"
Ran Fang was still smiling, and he didn't seem to hear the meaning of Li Si's words.
But he also knew that now that he had come to this point, even if Li Si really had that idea, he wouldn't say it anymore.
He nodded and made a gesture of please: "Prime Minister, please speak." ”
"If I had known, I would have known that there is no end to my words."
In other words, if I don't know, don't blame me for not telling you.
Li Si didn't seem to hear it, he frowned slightly, nodded and said: "At that time, the matter of the salt merchant was handled by Mr. and Fusu Gongzi together. ”
"But now that the Miao family, the Li family, and the Zi family are still in Xianyang City, I don't know what Mr. is going to do?"
It seemed that he didn't expect Li Si to ask such a question, but Ran Fang was stunned for a moment.
Not only because of this question, but most importantly, why does Li Si care about this matter?
He had already investigated that the people of those three families might have a connection with Li Si, but he didn't have conclusive evidence yet.
Moreover, Cao Yangyun has sent back news in the past few days, although there has been no action in Li Si's mansion, but the evidence of Li Si's contact with those three families has been erased, as if their previous speculations were all false.
But now, Li Si actually took the initiative to mention it, and his expression seemed to be very disgusted with those families, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with them.
This can't help but make people wonder if it was a barb deliberately released by Li Si.
"What do you mean by that?"
"At the beginning, the matter has been dealt with, so whether they go or stay, I naturally won't say anything."
"It's just that I heard that the reason why they don't want to leave is that there are people in the city who know them well, but I don't know what they are going to do?"
"Cheng is the most familiar with the things in this Xianyang City, do you know who they know with?"
Ran Fang's words in turn turned Li Si's army.
Now it's Li Si's turn to not know how to answer, if he says that he doesn't know, wouldn't he admit that he has been an official in the court for so many years, but he has done nothing?
But if he says he knows, then it proves that he clearly knows the wolf ambitions of those people, but he doesn't care about it, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
However, after all, he has been in the DPRK and China for many years, and Li Si has not taken Ran Fang's methods to heart.
He was only stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, looked at Ran Fang with a smile, and said softly: "What does Mr. mean by this, this official has always only cared about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and wants to relieve His Majesty's worries." ”
"I have never taken these little things to heart, but I suddenly remembered it today, so I asked more, but the old man said more."
"Presumably, Mr. must already have an idea in his heart, Mr. said so, but the old man is suspected of being deliberate, I hope Mr. don't mind."
Hearing this, Ran Fang didn't say anything more, didn't say that he didn't care about this matter, and didn't say how to deal with those people, just let Li Si guess for himself.
Even he had a smile on his face, which made Li Si very angry.
"I heard that His Majesty asked the Prime Minister to be in charge of building the school, I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"
"Now the library in the city is in an uproar, presumably the Qianshou in the city also has a lot of opinions on reading, if this school is built, there will be a lot of Qiantou who will rush to it, right?"
"When the time comes, the head of the Qianqian will definitely recite the merits of the prime minister, which is really a good thing."
