Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1014 Dazzling

"Master!" A Wan ran in bouncingly, "It's my turn, you go to rest." She was about to push Wen Ya away, but Wen Ya shook her head and said, "It's okay, you've been guarding all night , or I will come."

"It's okay, I'm young enough to survive." A Wan patted her chest with a proud face, Wen Ya helplessly rubbed the top of her hair, "You..."

"By the way." A Wan suddenly remembered something and stopped Wen Ya's words, "Master, are you going to enter the palace today and report your condition to His Majesty?"

Wen Ya was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand without a trace, "Yes."

The word neither light nor heavy made Awan's heart sink. It was rare for her to lie to Master once, and she never thought that Master would be so cooperative.

"Master Fang has left it to you." Wen Ya instructed a few words, and then left the Duke of Yue's mansion.

A Wan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and secretly prayed that the trap set up by Mo Han and the others would be effective and the poisoner could be caught.

"Awan." Xiao Xuan'er walked in, her eyes fell on the table, and seeing that Awan followed her gaze and looked over, it was the medicine bowl that Cong Rong just sent, "Sister Xiao, do you doubt Sister Cong?"

"It's hard to say." Xiao Xuan'er shook her head, then calmed down and said: "Awan, if the news is released, someone will be unsteady, you must guard Master Fang well."

A Wan saw Fang Zilan coming back and hurriedly greeted her, "You're finally back. It's so hard to wait for." Then she realized that her hands were so cold that they seemed to have no warmth at all. "Look at your cold hands. Go back to the house to warm them up." A warm one."

She couldn't help but drag Fang Zilan back to the house, walked into the inner room, then stuffed a hand warmer for her, and asked, "How is your injury?"

"Nothing." Fang Zilan shook her head in a daze, and Awan pulled her sleeves away, frowning tightly, "What, I thought His Majesty left you alone because he saw that you were injured and kindly healed you, but who knew it wasn't that?" Something happened."

"Are you kind?" Fang Zilan repeated softly.A Wan was busy helping her with the wound, and didn't notice her thoughts for a while, so she said, "Otherwise? What does Your Majesty want you to do?"

"It's nothing." Fang Zilan shook her head, calmed down her mood, and changed the topic, "It's New Year's Eve, and there are not many people in our house, so it sounds a bit deserted."

"Yeah." Awan agreed, with a dissatisfied expression: "Last year, Shangguan Min set off fireworks with me, Vice General Li cooked dumplings, and Vice General Cao held a banquet. I don't have to worry about such things. This year is good, Only Deputy General Cao is busy alone, and I am too embarrassed to sneak in."

She said as if she suddenly remembered something, and changed her voice, "It's strange to say, it's the Chinese New Year, and our family has not received a congratulatory letter from the northern border. Others forget about it, why did Lieutenant General Li and Lord Qi There is no news, which is really strange."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan suddenly remembered what Pei Xiaoze told her when she was in the palace, that there was a major corruption case in the northern border recently, and the person involved was none other than Qi Yuming.

There were many things during the day, she turned her head and forgot about it, but now that A Wan mentioned it, she became alert.

Based on what she knew about Qi Yuming, she would never do such a thing as being corrupt and accepting bribes. Presumably, someone framed her as a frame-up.

But if it was just planting the blame, with Qi Yuming's means, and his friendship with Zhong Yao, it would have been clear long ago, and he would definitely not make a fuss in front of the emperor in the capital.With such a big commotion, could it be that something happened to Zhong Yao too?
A Wan bandaged Fang Zilan's wound, and waved her hand in front of her, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." She said with a solemn expression: "Awan, go quietly and call Deputy General Cao over, don't attract the attention of other people in the house." Seeing that she was so solemn, Awan did not dare to neglect, and immediately found an excuse. Called Vice General Cao to come over.

As soon as Deputy General Cao entered the inner room, he saw Fang Zilan's cold face and was puzzled, so he heard her ask: "Has Lao Li written with you recently?"

"No." Vice-General Cao shook his head, "The last correspondence was when Lao Li sent a congratulatory letter to Beijing when he moved the residence, and he hasn't sent any letter since then."

Fang Zilan remained silent, and Deputy General Cao felt a thump in his heart, "Boss, could it be that something happened in the northern border?"

Hearing what Vice General Cao said, A Wan was also surprised, "Just now, is your Majesty staying with you to talk about this matter?"

"No." Fang Zilan's voice sank a bit, "I heard in the palace today that there has been a major corruption case in the Northern Territory, and the person involved is Qi Yuming..."

She was only halfway through when she heard Vice General Cao anxiously say, "Lord Qi will definitely not do this!"

"How could I not know?" Fang Zilan sighed, "Qi Yuming was single-handedly promoted by me, and this matter is probably aimed at me."

A Wan interjected puzzledly: "But even if this matter is aimed at you, a corruption case must have evidence of property transactions. What kind of capital do you have in the northern border for them to say..."

However, she stopped abruptly before she finished speaking, and finally murmured, "Could it be Huo Sanniang's business?"

Her voice was very soft, but it still fell into Fang Zilan's ears verbatim, and she subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

A Wan's complexion changed, and he said anxiously: "Didn't Fang Lihui send someone here a few years ago? He said that there was something wrong with the business in the northern border. At that time, the visitor hesitated and couldn't explain why, but I wanted the Fang family to do it." The business has been in business for so many years, it is always reputable, and I didn't ask too much, now I want to come..."

She dared not speak any more.Fang Zilan listened to her words, the corners of her lips were pursed into a straight line, her expression became colder and colder.

Her business in the northern border was originally owned by Huo Sanniang, but later she gave it to Fang Lihui in order to help Fang Liren leave the Fang family.

That said, it all makes sense.People with a heart take advantage of her business to make a big fuss, and when she is not in the north, she drags everyone related to her into the water one by one, making her unable to stay alone, and can only be dragged into the deep pool in the end.

But what role did Fang Lihui play in this?Was it the insidious murderer who helped the mastermind behind the scenes stab her in the back, or was it the gang of innocent people who were in the same boat as her?
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan couldn't sit still any longer, got up and said: "Old Cao, prepare your horse and go to Fang's house."

"Boss, it's New Year's Eve, let's act recklessly..." Lao Cao just wanted to say something, but he fell silent under Fang Zilan's gloomy expression, and was about to prepare the horse but was stopped by A Wan, "Wait a minute. "

"Fang Zilan, listen to my persuasion." A Wan stood still in front of Fang Zilan, and said comfortingly: "Now that this matter has not involved you, why should you take it on yourself? Besides, today's New Year's Eve is a family reunion. Great day. If you have to explode at this time, people will definitely resent you."
