Don't ask where people go

Chapter 67 Doubt

Fang Zilan laughed, and her tone was indescribably sneering, "But no matter how scary it is, there are countless people flocking to it, and they want to go into that high-walled compound to have a look."

"Boss, do you also want to?" Deputy General Cao was a little curious, Fang Zilan's mouth curled slightly, "I am already in the position of public minister, and I am already in this high-ranking family, so do I need to think about it?"

"That's right." Deputy General Cao nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head violently as if thinking of something, "No, Boss. They are all of the same clan, and you are alone..."

"What's wrong with being alone?" Fang Zilan interrupted Deputy General Cao and gave him a sideways glance, "I can live a prosperous life by myself."

At that moment, her eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, which made Vice General Cao and A Wan feel a little dazed, but somehow felt that it should be like this.

Fang Zilan ignored the reaction of the two of them, suppressed her laughter and said in a low voice, "Take advantage of the fact that there is still a way to the barracks, Lao Cao, please tell me carefully what is going on."

Vice-General Cao, who was named, responded hastily, and then said: "According to the people sent by Lao Li, Qi Canjun heard that Boss, you wounded the savage woman driving wolves last time, so he sent Shangguan Min and Shangguan Mian The two went door to door in Sanyuan Village to see if there was such a wounded barbarian in the village."

Fang Zilan frowned imperceptibly, "You just sent the two of them?"

Deputy General Cao shook his head, "No, there are other people, about a dozen or so. After several days of investigation, there was no result, but the day before yesterday, for some reason, Shangguan Mian and the others got separated in Sanyuan Village and have not been seen. Shangguan Min was eager to find someone, so he went to Sanyuan Village by himself that night. No one cared about it at first, but the next morning Guan Min came back with Shangguan Mian's body on his back, and everyone knew something happened."

Fang Zilan interjected, "Did Shangguan Mian be bitten to death by a wolf?"

"Yes, but the death was extremely tragic. His belly was ripped open, and his whole body was bitten so that there was no good skin. If it wasn't for the fact that they were all of the same age, and they had the jade charm of Shangguan's family on their bodies, no one would dare to recognize it as the Shangguan crown." Vice-General Cao recalled the tragic scene that the messenger told him, and he couldn't help sighing, "Everyone knows that Qi Canjun served as a guarantor for Sanyuan Village before, so Shangguan Min decided that it was Qi Canjun who joined forces with Sanyuan Village. Together with the werewolf exorcisers, Shangguan Mian was killed, and the incident became more and more troublesome, until now it can't end."

Fang Zilan groaned for a while after listening, and suddenly asked, "Is there any enmity between Qi Yuming and Shangguan's family?"

"I haven't heard of it." Deputy General Cao looked blank, "Boss means that Qi Canjun is avenging private revenge? But I heard that Qi Canjun was promoted by Shangguan Yun, and he has always been loyal under Shangguan's tent and has never made a mistake. "

"I also find it strange." Fang Zilan curled her lips, "If Qi Yuming and Shangguan's family had a grudge, why would they kill one and keep the other? We should cut the grass and root out."

A Wan who was next to him understood immediately, and answered, "You mean that on the night when Shangguan Mian died, someone deliberately let Shangguan Min go?"

"It's not impossible." Fang Zilan sighed in a low voice with a gloomy expression, "However, I'm more worried about another possibility."

"What's possible?" A Wan and Deputy General Cao asked at the same time.

Fang Zilan didn't answer the questions of the two of them. She whipped her horse and rushed to the barracks at a faster speed. Seeing her like this, the two hurriedly followed.

Fang Zilan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. The worst possibility she could think of was that someone in Sanyuan Village wanted to deliberately stir up Shangguan Min's hatred for everyone in the army, forcing him to defect to Dajing, and then use him His identity summoned the barbarians in the northern desert, after all, he was the only one who had a blood relationship with Huyan Khan.

But if she really guessed it right, what role would Qi Yuming play in it?Is it a pawn to stir up hatred or a hidden stake for exchanging songs?She suddenly remembered that Vice General Cao had just said that Qi Yuming had let Shangguan Min beat him up, and that he was going to ask for an explanation. Could it be...

Fang Zilan was concerned, and the group of three went straight to the northern camp without stopping, and they arrived in a short time.

Lieutenant General Li waited in the big tent early in the morning, and Vice General Qin, Xu Canjun and others all gathered together, and they all saluted Fang Zilan respectfully.

Fang Zilan didn't want to be polite to them, so she immediately waved her hand to tell them not to be too polite, and said straight to the point: "Where are Qi Yuming and Shangguanmin?"

"Qi Canjun should be in Sanyuan Village right now. Shangguan Min is chasing Qi Canjun, and he is probably also in Sanyuan Village." Lieutenant General Li answered quickly, Fang Zilan frowned, "Why didn't you stop him?"

"This..." Lieutenant General Li hesitated for a moment, and then said the truth, "I can't stop it."

"Can't stop it?" Fang Zilan just finished speaking, the plum sword in his hand was already out of the sheath and pointed at Lieutenant General Li, only a step away from him.

Her voice was colder and harsher than that of Leng Feng, "Then what do I need you for?"

"Lord Fang, you can't blame Lieutenant General Li." Seeing that the situation was wrong, Vice General Qin stepped forward to speak for Lieutenant General Li, but the next moment Fang Zilan pointed the plum sword at him.

Her expression became colder, "Of course he can't be blamed all by himself, you are the same. There are so many ways to stop people, broken legs or life, can all of you not be able to do it?"

"Lord Fang's words are wrong." Xu Canjun couldn't help but say out while hiding behind: "Qi Canjun and Shangguanmin did nothing wrong, and we can't rush to hurt people."

"Did you do nothing wrong?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Xu Canjun, let me ask you, where are the rules for making troubles in the army?"

"Thirty stick duty, if the circumstances are serious, beheaded..." Xu Canjun answered fluently, but stopped abruptly when he said the last sentence.

"When a Shangguan Mian died, Shangguan Min dared to shoot the lieutenant general and beat him up, but none of you lieutenant generals dared to step forward to stop him. It's really good!" Fang Zilan put away the plum sword and sneered, "Those who don't know think that Shangguan is still in power in the Northern Territory, and Shangguan Min is the son of a general, so he must not be offended."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room knelt on one knee, terrified all day long.

Lieutenant General Li said in a deep voice: "The last general was ordered by Mr. Fang to sit in the army, and now such a big mess has happened. It is an unforgivable crime. The last general..."

Lieutenant General Li drew out his saber as he spoke, holding his hands in front of his face, "Let Master Fang punish you."

"Punishment is of course to be punished, but not now." Fang Zilan glanced at Lieutenant General Li with downcast eyes, his expression softened a little, "Vice General Li obeys the order, from now on you will be in the army, if anyone disobeys or leaves the camp without permission You don’t have to report it to me, and you will not be pardoned immediately. Xu Canjun, take someone to the magistrate to borrow the household registrations of all the people in Sanyuan Village, check them and report them. Vice-General Cao, Vice-General Qin, you two go to order [-] troops immediately. Come with me to Sanyuan Village and bring Qi Yuming and Shangguanmin back."

　Fang Zilan: I can live a prosperous life by myself.
