Don't ask where people go

Chapter 750 The Past
"This is Mrs. Fang." The old man stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall, his footsteps were a little unsteady, Yang Zhiqing stood up and walked over quickly, reaching out to support her, "Mother, be careful."

Fang Zilan stepped forward to greet her, and the old man held her hand excitedly, "Okay, that's great, thank you Mr. Fang for taking care of my kid. His father passed away early, if he hadn't been willing to endure hardships, in the southeastern smoky land I have stayed there for many years, and I don't have the good life I have in the capital now. In the future, Mr. Labor will worry a lot. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me."

The old man was about to salute, Fang Zilan hurriedly grabbed her arm with his backhand, "Ma'am, you are serious."

"Master Fang, how is my kid doing in the government office? Didn't he cause trouble for you?" The old man's eyes were full of cautious expectation, Fang Zilan curled his lips and said with a smile: "Master Yang is doing well, the government office No one in the Yamen can do without him."

"That's good, that's good..." The old man smiled as if relieved, but coughed violently the next moment.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiqing said anxiously: "Master Fang, my mother has not recovered from her long illness and cannot bear the wind. Please allow me to send her back to the room first."

"You go." Fang Zilan said goodbye: "I have something to do at home, so I won't stay any longer."

Yang Zhiqing saluted in a hurry, then helped the old man to leave.Fang Zilan looked at their backs, feeling a little sour in her heart.

"Fang Zilan, after today, don't ask about anything other than your government affairs." Li Shengxuan said suddenly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Understood. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never interfere with Mo Han's implementation of the new law."

She paused as she spoke, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, "However, if someone does not have eyes and intends to hurt Mo Han, I will not sit idly by."

"Master Fang, you..." Zhuge Yu flicked his sleeves and did not continue.

Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadfastly, "With me here, you don't need to worry about Mo Han's safety, just take care of the affairs of the government. Next month, Di Rong's Ministry will send envoys to Beijing, and King Rong An will also take When the princess enters the capital, there must be no mistakes inside or outside the government office."

Fang Zilan's expression was serious, Di Rong's department pays tribute every year, and it is not unusual to send envoys to Beijing every April.But why did King Rong'an enter the capital?With the princess...

Seeming to see through the doubts in her mind, Zhuge Yu explained: "Princess Rong'an has reached the age of marriage. Years ago, the Empress Dowager promised that King Rong'an could go to Beijing to choose a son-in-law. Although the situation in Beijing has changed in a few months, But the marriage of the clan's daughter should not be taken lightly."

"So that's how it is." Fang Zilan muttered in a low voice. The mansion is in charge of southeast affairs, and besides officials big and small, King Rong'an has the most dealings with him.

Since the Mushanguan Rebellion and the epidemic, King Rong'an kept himself quite a lot, and he was also courteous and courteous when interacting with government officials, hiding his cruel heart and secret dirty tricks very well.

As for the ghost gate, it seems that there is no connection with King Rong An.But Fang Zilan's heart is like a mirror, Ji Ningtian just didn't let her find out, after all, how could he give up such a powerful chess piece like King Rong An so easily?

Seeing that Fang Zilan was thinking, Li Shengxuan said in a low voice: "Since you know what's in your mind, then I can rest assured."

Know what?Fang Zilan couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly. The last time she met King Rong An, she said that it was either you or me in the future. She never thought that it would be less than two years before they would meet again.

The undercurrent in the capital was turbulent, neither she nor King Rong An dared to attack the other party in the capital.It's just that they greet each other with smiling faces on the bright side, but each has their own ghosts behind their backs, so it's best to live in peace.

However, if Ji Ningtian learns that King Rong An is entering the capital, he will take action...

When Xiao Xuan'er was investigating the people in the government office before, she had told her about Yang Zhiqing, and the words were quite regrettable.

Yang Zhiqing's father was originally the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his rank was not low, but he died early. When he died in office, Yang Zhiqing was only ten years old.Later, according to the recommendation system of officials' children, I got a low-level idle job.

With nowhere to show his ambitions, Yang Zhiqing invited himself to the smoky southeast—a place that all the children of the capital avoided, and he had only one at that time.

This trip lasted eight years, and when he returned to Beijing, he finally entered the southeast government office, but he was still a little-known little master. Fortunately, he didn't care too much, as long as he received a salary to support his family, it was enough .

He is just a conscientious ordinary person who takes every step steadily and hard, but he will be involved in such a turmoil by chance, and in the end he can't even do it alone.

Fang Zilan didn't know how she got back to the mansion. She suddenly felt that she could no longer passively let Ji Ningtian lead her away. If things went on like this, she would only implicate more and more innocent people.

Maybe in Ji Ningtian's eyes, they are nothing more than ants, but in her eyes, they are all real people, once in this world, they shouldn't leave the scene without knowing why.

After she made up her mind, she found Xiao Xuan'er and instructed: "All news related to the ghost gate should be released to Zhuge's family."

"What?" Xiao Xuan'er was shocked, "Master Fang, although I told you before that Mr. Zhuge suddenly found out about the previous dynasty, but he has not yet found out the ghost gate, you..."

"Since we can't find out, then I will help him, why not?" Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid that Zixiu's identity will be known, so isn't Ji Ningtian afraid of the lord of the ghost gate?" Is the identity known?

"Master Fang, if the ghost gate and your identity are known by Mr. Zhuge..." Xiao Xuaner frowned, "He is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, how can he tolerate it?"

Although she had been muddled for the past few days, she still listened to Xiao Xuan'er's words to some extent.She knew that it was rumored in the capital that Yang Zhiqing hadn't been promoted for many years, because he was jealous of Wu Sheng's transfer to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, he bought a murderer to kill him, and later because the clues in the letter were exposed, in order not to drag the whole family down, he feared crime and committed suicide in front of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

After the news spread, everyone in the capital scolded Yang Zhiqing. There were people clamoring and throwing stones in front of his house every day, which disturbed the whole family.

It seems that everyone has lost their memory. No one remembers that Yang Zhiqing was a parent officer who had been guarding the smoky southeast for eight years. When he left office, he received a Wanmin umbrella.

They only remembered that Yang Zhiqing was jealous and murderous, cruel and narrow-minded, and was not worthy of being an official at all.

As for Wu Sheng, he became the most innocent victim and was infinitely beautified.Master Su Heng's protégé, brilliant talent, good character... Everyone who knew him but didn't know him was full of admiration and regret, as if the loss of him would be a great loss to the court.

When a person dies, he can only be instructed by others, can't he even keep his name after death?
