Don't ask where people go

Chapter 40 The old man
Shangguan's old house hadn't been tidied up yet, and Fang Zilan didn't want to keep Huangfulin any longer, so she sent Huangfulin away from Yanzhou City after the handover.

Fortunately, she asked Ji Ningtian to help get the names and portraits of everyone in the Shangguan family, and A Wan came in time, so she managed to recognize Yingying Yanyan from the first courtyard.

Speaking of which, there was no one in the courtyard full of people, old and young, with a look of fear on their faces, and they looked at Fang Zilan with nothing but resentment.

It seems that Huangfu Lin is really polite enough to let the young and old of this family be so leisurely and contented, as if they regard themselves as masters.

Fang Zilan slandered secretly while passing the names, but after counting three times, the number still didn't match.

"I said Master Fang, you've been watching it for so long, why haven't you seen enough?" The woman's delicate voice sounded in Fang Zilan's ears, making her goosebumps all over her body, and her face darkened involuntarily.

When Deputy General Cao and Lieutenant General Li rushed to the backyard, they saw her gloomy expression, and they consciously stood a few feet behind her, not daring to show their breath.

"Yo, Mrs. Fang's face is so dark that it's frightening. I'm really scared to death." Another woman standing in the corner giggled.

She spit out these four words coldly, and then said coldly: "Now start counting from the first person in the west, and stand in the pavilion to the south after reporting."

Perhaps her expression was really frightening. The first girl in the west, who was only eight or nine years old, timidly called in, and then walked out slowly. The people around her also called in one by one and walked to the pavilion.

When the people in the first row had finished reporting, the first woman in the second row did not report. Fang Zilan frowned slightly. She was the first woman who spoke to her just now. The woman was dressed like a wife and concubine of the Shangguan family. .

"Look at my memory." The woman smiled coquettishly, "Master Fang, I forgot what time I reported just now."

"Forgot?" Fang Zilan smiled coldly, walked in front of her, reached out and pinched her chin, "Are you not taking my words seriously?"

"How dare I be a concubine." The woman's voice trembled a little, but she still forced her smile to pretend to be calm. Fang Zilan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Vice General Li, drag her down and kill her with a stick."

"Lord Fang, I know I'm wrong!" The woman backed up a few steps in fright, and collapsed on the ground.

Lieutenant General Li got the order and quickly stepped up and dragged the woman down. The woman struggled while crying, and the long nails on her hands scratched several bloodstains on Lieutenant General Li's arm.

Lieutenant General Li couldn't get angry because Fang Zilan was standing aside, so he could only bear with it and let the woman mess around.

Unexpectedly, before taking two steps, Fang Zilan said again, "Wait a minute."

Lieutenant General Li let go and threw the man aside, the woman got up from the ground, laughed loudly, with a touch of arrogance in her charming look, "Why, Mr. Fang is afraid?"

"Bring the torture stick and kill her on the spot." Fang Zilan glanced at the woman, "Cut off her tongue first, so as not to cry and make trouble."

Lieutenant General Li was stunned for a moment, but seeing Fang Zilan's cold expression, he knew that she was serious.

In the army before, she also said the same thing. No one dared to say no to what she said. This woman is really ignorant. She bumped into her hand. Did she not seek death?
Lieutenant General Li didn't dare to be negligent at the moment. Those who went to war could kill with their heads nodding. What's more, it was a backyard trick like cutting out the tongue and sticking to death.

All the people in the courtyard heard a shrill cry, all of them were pale, and even the youngest girl fainted from fright.

The woman had her tongue cut out and passed out. Lieutenant General Li stretched out his hand to sniff, "Boss, she's dead."

"I can't stand the toss." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Who is it? Continue."

This act of killing chickens and monkeys was very effective. No one in the back dared to talk too much, and she was extremely well-behaved without crying or making troubles, which made her ears much quieter.

After everyone finished reporting, Fang Zilan still had a sullen face, and asked in a cold voice: "Where are the other two?"

"There are two more?" Vice-General Cao and Vice-General Li looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they stared fiercely at the people in the pavilion, "Our boss is asking you something, hurry up and say it!"

"This... people are here..." An old woman was protecting the little girl in her arms, and said tremblingly: "There is no one else, who is the adult talking about?"

"If we know which one it is, why do we need to ask you?" Deputy General Cao glared at the old woman irritably, "If you don't want to die, tell me!"

A little girl in her late teens beside her was already pale with fright, but she still boldly answered, "There is really no one else..."

"Really?" Fang Zilan stepped forward and pushed Vice General Cao aside, and walked in front of the crowd, "Since none of you are willing to say anything, don't blame me for being rude."

She approached the crowd step by step, and the old woman in the lead had obvious fear in her eyes, but she still tried to stand in front of the women, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm a vulgar person, and I don't know how to be sympathetic to women." Fang Zilan's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled cruelly, "A woman who fell into slavery is just a piece of meat on the cutting board, so I can do whatever I want .”

"You..." The old woman trembled violently, and hugged the little girl in her arms even tighter, "You..."

"Let's start with you, old man." A silver light flashed in Fang Zilan's hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared in her hand, "Tell the names and whereabouts of those two people, and you can just say one of them. If you can't tell them, cut them off." One finger, cut off the limbs and threw them out to the dogs without saying anything after cutting them off."

Fang Zilan said it lightly, and everyone present shuddered.

Behind her, Vice General Cao hesitated to say something but dared not speak. Vice General Li stretched out his hand to dissuade her, but finally withdrew his hand.

Fang Zilan had noticed this series of small actions a long time ago, but she was still indifferent, turning the dagger lightly in her hand, "Old man, tell me."

"I don't know!" The old woman yelled out almost with all her strength, her hand tightened suddenly, she grabbed the dagger, pulled out the old woman's hand, and cut it cleanly.

Everyone only heard a scream, and the old woman's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and she passed out.

"Did you faint?" Fang Zilan sneered, "Drag it down, cut off limbs and feed them to the dogs."

"No!" The little girl who had been hiding in the old woman's arms suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Zilan, "I said, I can say anything, please let grandma go!"

Hearing this, Fang Zilan squatted down, reached out and pinched the little girl's chin, "Tell me, if it's useful, I'll let your grandmother go."

"The people you are looking for are Shangguan Lingli and Shangguan Lingyuan, they..." The little girl hesitated for a while, Fang Zilan squeezed her hand more tightly, "Who are they?"

"Lingli is Grandpa Jing's granddaughter, and Lingyuan is Uncle Yun's younger sister." The little girl's voice trembled violently, but Fang Zilan didn't intend to let her go, "Where are the two of them now?"

"Don't... Linglan, don't say..." The old woman didn't know when she woke up, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the little girl's sleeve, pulling with all her strength.

A cold light flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, the dagger in her hand was already on the old woman's wrist, and the little girl named Linglan suddenly grabbed her arm, "No! They are in Wang's house..."

"Linglan!" The old woman was so angry that she coughed. Seeing that her dagger had stopped, Linglan didn't care about anything else, she hurriedly supported the old woman and moved a few steps back.

She didn't care about Ling Lan's movements, she wiped the blood on the dagger with her fingertips, and said coldly: "Which Wang family?"

"The King of the East of the City." Ling Lan said quickly, seeing Fang Zilan put away the dagger, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Zilan stood up, looked around the people in the hall, saw the panic on their faces with satisfaction, and said lightly: "Vice General Li, you stay and watch them clean up the yard. Vice General Cao, follow me Wang family."

"Yes!" The two embraced their fists to accept the orders, Fang Zilan turned and left, before leaving, she did not forget to say, "If I come back, this yard has not been tidied up, and I will sell you all tomorrow."

There are not many Wang families in Yanzhou City, but they are by no means few. However, the Wang family in the east of the city can be regarded as the most prominent family among them. The reason is that it is Shangguan Yunzheng's wife's mother's family.

"Boss, it's not good for us to come to Wang's house so rashly, right?" Vice General Cao looked at the high courtyard in front of him, feeling a little worried.

This Wang family's gatekeeper is not an ordinary family. The first day their boss came to Yanzhou to inquire about his teacher's crimes, I'm afraid they will have a hard time in Yanzhou in the future.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "The Wang family is a noble family in Yanzhou, so I naturally want to visit."

Deputy General Cao was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Boss, we are not..."

"It's not what?" Fang Zilan interrupted him suddenly, squinting his eyes lazily, "Wait a minute, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes!" Deputy General Cao nodded his head, and followed Fang Zilan quietly, not daring to show his breath.

After Fang Zilan knocked on the door, she stood respectfully by the door until a middle-aged man in charge came out and welcomed her in.

"Master Fang is here, and I'm sorry for being too far away to welcome you." The man politely led her towards the main hall, "Master Fang is about to take office, and my lord even said that he would come to visit some day, but I didn't expect Mr. Fang to come first. gone."

"Your Lord Wang doesn't welcome me?" Fang Zilan smiled slightly, and the man shook his head hastily, "What is Mr. Fang talking about, we are too late to be happy when you come, why don't you welcome me?"

"Really?" Fang Zilan still had a smile on his face, looking at the man sitting on the main seat in the main hall.

The man was dressed in black brocade clothes, his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes were slightly drooping but still hard to hide the sternness in his eyes, he was Wang Quanzhi, the head of the royal family.

She stopped in front of the door and said loudly: "I thought Mr. Wang didn't want to see me."
