Don't ask where people go

Chapter 487 Confrontation
On the day Fang Zilan chased Huangfu Xin and Shangguan Min away, news came that Prime Minister Fang Chongzheng had returned to Beijing.It is said that Fang Chongzheng did not return to the mansion after arriving in Beijing, but went straight to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

All of a sudden, many people gathered in front of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion with the mentality of watching the excitement, and Fang Zilan was no exception.It's just that she is not watching the fun, but for Fang Zitong.

The gate of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion was closed, inside Fang Zilan and Fang Chongzheng stood side by side, in front of them were Zhuge Yu and Xu Youtong, and beside them stood Xie Yanping and two young Yins.

"My lord prime minister, Ling Ai is involved in the case of the murder of Duke Piao, so she is temporarily detained in Jingzhao Yin's mansion. Your Majesty has also approved this matter." Xu Youtong said in a lower voice, "Even if you are the prime minister, you can't arbitrarily arrest people. take away."

Fang Chong couldn't see any expression on the front, "Master Xu, I heard that Duke Juan died of poisoning. The poison was not only found in the little girl's dowry, but also in Mr. Pei Poming's room. And the little girl's There is no poison on the sleeve arrow, which means that the poisoner has other methods, am I right?"

"That's right." Xu Youtong nodded slightly, and Fang Chongzheng said in a low voice, "Did Master Xu find any other evidence?"

Xu Youtong was silent for a moment, "Not yet."

Hearing this, Fang Chongzheng's expression turned cold, and he said calmly without anger: "The case has been going on for many days, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion is still at a loss. I don't care whether it is due to ineffectiveness in handling the case or not. I will ask about the case itself. At present, the suspects, except for the little girl, And Mr. Pei Poming, but why does Mr. Xu insist on biting the little girl, and even resorted to lynching? Could it be that because of the incompetence of the Jingzhao Yin House, he wants to torture the little girl?"

Xu Youtong opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard Fang Chongzheng's tone increased, and continued to question: "Or is it said that Mr. Pei Poming is an official in the court, and the Pei family is standing behind him. Can you bully the young girl's weakness and take advantage of it? Didn't the Jingzhao Yin family forget that the young girl still has me as the prime minister's father?"

"My lord prime minister, be careful, Jingzhao Yin's house has never touched Ling Ai's finger, let alone stalking her..." Xu Youtong was about to argue, but was interrupted by Fang Chongzheng, "If so, please allow me to visit Mr. Xu Little girl, you will know the truth after seeing it."

There was an undeniable power in his words, which made Xu Youtong speechless, and was about to ask Zhuge Yu for help, but he heard him shout, "Your Excellency, Duke of Yue."

Fang Zilan interjected: "The people in my house visited Second Miss Fang before, and she is indeed not well."

Seeing the two singing together, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but said: "My lords, before the truth is known, no matter who is suspected, he must be detained for interrogation. This is a necessary process, and no exception will be made for anyone."

"Master Zhuge, if the process is reasonable and legal, I would not stand here." Fang Chongzheng's expression was a bit fierce, "But if someone secretly tampered with it, I'm afraid my daughter may not be able to wait until the day when the truth comes out. It must be broken."

"Master Prime Minister..." Zhuge Yufu was stopped by Fang Chongzheng as soon as Zhuge Yufu opened his mouth, "Today I will take my daughter back to the mansion. After that, I will be confined in the boudoir and will not come out. If Jingzhao Yin's mansion is interrogated, I will accompany my daughter go together."

"Your prime minister must not do it!" Xu Youtong changed his expression, "If this example is open, countless people will follow suit. If someone escapes like this and fails to bear the corresponding responsibility, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"Escape?" Fang Chongzheng raised his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "If the little girl is missing, I will let Jingzhaoyin's house deal with it."

"Master Prime Minister, you..." Xu Youtong was stunned, Zhuge Yu frowned and said, "Master Prime Minister, are you going to use your wealth and life to protect your wife?"

Fang Chongzheng did not answer, as if he had tacitly agreed, Zhuge Yu and Xu You looked at each other, and they both saw embarrassment in each other's faces.

The hall was extremely quiet for a while, until Fang Zilan's voice sounded, like a huge stone falling into a pond, causing countless splashes, "If Master Zhuge and Master Xu feel that it is not enough, I would like to be the guarantor with the Prime Minister."

Xu Youtong finally couldn't bear it and said, "Master Yue, no matter which case it is, it has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to get involved in this muddy water?"

"Irrelevant?" Fang Zilan laughed out loud as if hearing something funny, and stopped after a while.

She laughed enough, and said seriously: "I stand up not only because it is difficult for a woman to stand up, but also because I am a woman, but also because I know that if I don't stand up today, one day I will change places and no one will stand up for me." Stand up. Everyone thinks that they can protect themselves by watching the fire from the other side, but they never thought that the direction of the wind will always change. Once the fire deviates from the original direction, no one knows where it will burn. As long as it is still there, there will always be The sun will burn on someone else. Maybe that person suffered innocently, or maybe they deserved it. What I want to do is to put out the fire before it burns to the next person."

What she said meant something, and everyone present could understand that since the case of Duke Ping was murdered, Fang Zitong was not the only one involved.Pei Poming, Ouyang Zirou, Daying in the suburbs of Beijing, Ouyang's family, and even Mo Han, who was revising the law in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, also changed the law of orphans and widows because Fang Zitong was suspected of killing her husband, but they were still criticized. Criticism.

Not to mention the Jingzhaoyin Mansion, which has gained a reputation for being ineffective in the rumors and rumors, and it has been difficult to raise its head for a long time.The good reputation of parents and officials in the capital, which had been earned with great difficulty over the years, was cast into dust overnight.

It was as if a butterfly in the south of the Yangtze River slightly shook its wings, and a huge storm was set off in the capital.No one knows who the next link in this chain reaction will fall on.

"Master Yue, why are you..." Xie Yanping who was on the side couldn't help saying, but there was an unconcealable astonishment in his eyes.

Fang Zilan didn't answer, but Fang Chongzheng suddenly remembered that in the palace that year, she said to him - I don't want these things to be looked at coldly, so that they will be silent.

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and she struggled in the officialdom, suffering from ruthlessness and bruises, but she still hadn't lost her original character.

In an instant, Fang Chongzheng felt that he might be able to tell her something.

Different from Fang Chongzheng's complex mood, Zhuge Yu and Xu Youtong still hesitated, but Xie Yanping stepped forward, "What the Duke of Yue and the Prime Minister said may not be unfeasible. If Miss Fang is really not well, she will be imprisoned in the prison on the grounds of her health." Government, it's not impossible..."

"Thank you, sir!" Xu Youtong gave Xie Yanping a gouged look, and he quickly fell silent.Zhuge Yu thought for a while, agreed to his statement, and finally watched Fang Chongzheng leave Jingzhao Yin's Mansion holding Fang Zitong, who was lifeless and haggard.

Seeing this situation, the onlookers exploded instantly, but Fang Chongzheng remained unmoved. Every step he took was magnanimous and firm, and his figure was incomparably majestic.
