Don't ask where people go

Chapter 360
In the first month, Fang Zilan went to the Wei family's banquet on the seventh day of the lunar month, mainly to thank Wei Subaru in person for his life-saving grace in Qiluo City.Speaking of which, Wei Subaru has helped her not once or twice. In Qingshui Village before and Qiluo City later, she never thanked him formally. It's justifiable.

There was a banquet at the Fang's family in the back. Although she went, she had to disregard the relationship to some extent, so she didn't find out any useful information, except for politeness and pleasantries.

During the intervening days, Wang Quanrui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, made a special trip to make an apology, but in fact, he blamed Xue Haoyu for the wrong number of seats in the year-end ceremony.

"Master Wang's words are hard to convince me. If it weren't for Master Xue, I'm afraid my position would be in trouble." Fang Zilan put the two documents in front of Wang Quanrui, but after reading it, he said that it was true.

Fang Zilan snorted and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Since I have been Minister of the Ministry of Rites for a year, I dare not say that there are no mistakes or omissions, but the other party's affairs are indeed done with all my heart." Wang Quanrui said seriously: "After Mr. Xue came to the mansion for the first time to deliver documents, he sent Fang The words of the lord were brought to me. I thought that lord Fang would not say these words for no reason, so I sent someone to investigate secretly."

Fang Zilan didn't speak, and Wang Quanrui said to himself: "I found out that in the past year, all matters related to Mr. Fang have been handled by Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue deliberately made troubles not once or twice, but Mr. Fang never made trouble, so he just Changed the target to General Cao who is beside Mr. Fang."

Fang Zilan picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip of the tea, still didn't want to speak, saw Wang Quanrui and continued, "Master Xue wants to take advantage of General Cao's mistake in order to force Master Fang to attack the Ministry of Rites, thus implicating the On me, I am afraid that I will lose my position as Minister of Rites at that time."

"Master Xue understands me. The Ministry of Rites targets me. As long as I do not go out of line, I always turn a blind eye." Fang Zilan said in a cold voice, "But if it targets me Important people, I must seek an explanation for them."

"Yes." Wang Quanrui nodded hastily, but Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "Not only Mr. Xue knows this, but Mr. Wang is also very clear about it."

Wang Quanrui was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does Mr. Fang mean by this?"

"I'm just curious." Fang Zilan calmly said: "According to Lord Wang, Lord Xue is waiting for me to attack your Ministry of Rites and drag you down from the position of Minister of Rites. But how could Lord Xue know that Lord Wang must Will be implicated, and he will definitely be able to replace it?"

Wang Quanrui pursed his lips, and Fang Zilan smiled even wider, but there was no smile in his eyes, "For example, now, Mr. Wang blamed Mr. Xue for all his mistakes, but he is very innocent."

"Lord Fang, I am responsible for lax discipline in this matter anyway, and I will plead guilty to Your Majesty." Wang Quanrui stood up and bowed his hands, "But Sir Fang implying that this matter was secretly manipulated by me, forgive me Couldn't agree more."

"Since Mr. Wang said so." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Then I will give Mr. Wang a chance to defend, so as not to cause trouble in front of His Majesty in the future, Mr. Wang will say that I deliberately framed him."

Wang Quanrui stood up straight, "Master Fang is serious. Just now, Master Fang showed me two documents. The only difference between the two documents is your position, Mr. Fang. The first time you made a mistake, but the second time you corrected it. Yes. As for the rank of General Cao, there is a problem both times. Lord Fang, please imagine, if Lord Xue wanted to sell your favor, he quietly sent the correct documents to the mansion on the day before New Year’s Eve as a token of respect. He is different from other people in the Ministry of Rites, so why didn't he correct Vice-General Cao's position as well?"

Fang Zilan smiled thoughtfully, Wang Quanrui's eyes were deep, "Master Fang has met Mr. Xue, and he knows that he is a meticulous person. How important is the year-end ceremony. He will never make such a mistake. Since it is not accidental , that is intentional."

He spoke the last sentence a little more emphatically, and even the charcoal fire in the house crackled several times after the end.

Fang Zilan didn't speak for a while, and said after a long time: "Master Wang is right."

Just as Wang Quanrui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her ask: "However, there is still one thing I don't understand, and I would like to ask Mr. Wang to clarify."

"Master Fang, please speak." Wang Quanrui bowed his head respectfully, and Fang Zilan said quietly: "Since this matter was all done by Master Xue, why did he relay my words to you, Master Wang, causing you to suspect and investigate, and the result fell short?"

"This..." Wang Quanrui hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's a hundred secrets and one sparse..."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked over, facing Fang Zilan's eyes.He dodged his gaze for a moment, then met her gaze directly, without avoiding it.

Fang Zilan stared fixedly at the person in front of her. After a while, she closed her gaze and said, "My illness is not yet fully recovered, so I can't bear the cold. The charcoal fire in the house is burning a bit, and it's normal for Mr. Wang to be sweating because of the heat." .”

Wang Quanrui subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead, only to realize that he was sweating profusely at some point, and immediately said with a sneer: "It's okay. Mr. Fang is not feeling well, so I won't bother you..."

"Hold on, Lord Wang." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "As for the wrong number of seats in the year-end ceremony, whatever you say, Lord Wang, I don't need to trouble you in front of His Majesty. In exchange, you have to promise me one thing. "

Wang Quanrui's expression turned serious, "Lord Fang, it's okay to say."

"General Cao in my mansion will serve in the government office in the future." Fang Zilan sat upright with one hand propped on the table, "Since General Cao is no longer my mansion general, of course he has to set up his own family. What are the specifications? If you want to come, your Ministry of Rituals knows it well, I don’t need to say anything more, I just ask for a little, as close as possible to my house. This request, isn’t it too much?”

"Not too much." Wang Quanrui shook his head, "Master Fang, don't worry, after General Cao takes office in the government office, the Ministry of Rituals will handle all matters properly and ensure that there will be no mistakes."

"Okay." Fang Zilan nodded, "With Mr. Wang's words, I feel relieved."

Wang Quanrui saw her let go, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he said goodbye immediately after a few polite words.

After Wang Quanrui left, Fang Zilan found Xiao Xuan'er, and said straight to the point: "I asked Miss Xiao to help me check the people in the Ministry of Rites. I don't know how it went?"

Xiao Xuan'er said in a low voice: "Basically everything has been checked, but there are still one or two that are still being verified, so they haven't been reported yet."

Fang Zilan couldn't bear it anymore, so she leaned on the main seat, "You can let the irrelevant people go first, has Xue Haoyu checked it out?"

　The depth of the water is unpredictable and the situation is embarrassing.
