"This..." The housekeeper was obedient and did not dare to speak directly.
Fang Zilan was furious and couldn't help but sternly said: "You still haven't told the truth?"
"Master Fang, please calm down. I didn't let the housekeeper tell you." A clear voice broke the deadlock.
When the housekeeper saw the person, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed: "It is indeed Mr. Fei who forbade him to say anything."
"Really?" Fang Zilan glanced coldly at Shangguan Xi in the wheelchair, and said in a deep voice: "Butler, go to the accounting room to pay your wages, pack your things and leave."
"Master Fang, this..." The housekeeper looked at Fang Zilan at a loss, and then looked at Shangguan Fei as if asking for help.
Seeing this, Shangguan Fei tried to persuade him: "This matter has nothing to do with the housekeeper. Lord Fang, there is no need to vent your anger on him."
"I can't tolerate sand in my eyes." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Shangguan Fei, you can still talk here because I promised Shangguan Min to take you in. But if there is a next time, I will kick you out together. Everyone, listen clearly. Already?"
Seeing that Fang Zilan was showing his true feelings, the housekeeper hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying repeatedly: "Please forgive me, Mr. Fang!"
"You don't have to kneel to me." Fang Zilan stepped forward and pulled the housekeeper up. "Pack your things and disappear before my eyes. There will still be a place for you in Yanzhou City from now on. Otherwise, I will not show mercy. "
Sure enough, Fang Zilan's fierce look frightened the housekeeper, causing him to run away shaking like chaff.
Shangguan Fei looked helplessly at the butler's hurried back, "Master Fang, why should you scare him?"
Fang Zilan still had a cold face, "I'm not scaring anyone. Since you didn't ask the housekeeper to report the disappearance of the Shangguan girl to me, do you know what you're doing?"
"I don't know what I know, I'm just waiting." Shangguan Fei's expression dimmed a bit, and Fang Zilan snorted coldly: "What are you waiting for? Waiting to collect their bodies, and push the stigma of killing Shangguan's old people on me? "
"I never meant that." Shangguan Fei hurriedly denied it. However, he knew very well in his heart that most of what Fang Zilan said was true, but he didn't know who wanted to use such unflattering means.
"I don't expect you to have such unscrupulous thinking methods, but you should have guessed that no matter what the situation is, as long as it has something to do with the Shangguan family, the fire will burn on me." Fang Zilan finished speaking and sat back in the main seat in the hall. , the gloomy look on his face made Shangguan Fei couldn't help but chuckle, "Master Fang had known about this, why did he do it in the first place?"
"It's not your turn to be a kid to make fun of." Fang Zilan glanced at Shangguan Fei unhappily, "If you think I'm too nice to you, you can just say so. I just lack someone who can let me vent my anger. "
"Master Fang is joking, I don't dare to make fun of Master Fang." Shangguan Fei smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Mr. Accountant staggering in, shouting that something happened, and kneeling upright. Sit in front of the two of them.
Awan came in behind Mr. Accountant. She frowned and said softly: "I had just packed my things when I heard someone shouting that something was wrong. Doesn't this give me a breather?"
When the accountant saw Awan, he was trembling and did not dare to speak.
Fang Zilan smiled slightly and reassured: "Awan has this temper, you just say it's okay."
"Butler...Butler, he hung himself from the beam..." The accountant's face was full of horror, and the other three were stunned.
"You said, the housekeeper..." Fang Zilan blankly repeated the accountant's words, but she only repeated half of it before stopping, and whispered: "But because I kicked him out of the house?"
Fang Zilan's expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong, half guilty and half confused, leaving several people at a loss as to what to say.
The person who broke the silent atmosphere in the hall was Deputy General Cao, with the same recklessness and the same trouble as Mr. Accountant, which made the nerves of the people in the hall tense again.
"Boss, no, something really happened!" Vice General Cao rushed to Fang Zilan without caring about saluting, "Master Zhong sent someone to summon you to go to court."
"Summon me?" Fang Zilan was confused. The housekeeper had just hanged herself from the beam, and Zhong Yao sent someone to summon her to court. It was a bit too fast and strange.
"What's the matter with this person?" Shangguan Fei asked doubtfully.
Vice General Cao shook his head, "I didn't say who came. But there were a lot of people gathered at the door of our house. I heard them say that they seemed to have found a few corpses. They were related to our house. What were they..."
"The body of the Shangguan woman?" Fang Zilan subconsciously interrupted Deputy General Cao, secretly laughing at herself for being such a crow-mouthed person, that she actually got it right.
"Yes!" Vice General Cao nodded hurriedly, but Shangguan Fei couldn't help but sigh, "Master Fang is really good at predicting things. I wonder if he has already thought of his way out?"
"A way out?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "I didn't kill the person, so what does it have to do with me?"
"Master Fang, since someone has planned this, I won't let you get away easily." Shangguan Wei looked at Fang Zilan faintly, with a hint of worry in his expression, "The entire Northern Territory is waiting to see your reputation ruined."
"What about you?" Fang Zilan looked at Shangguan Fei with amusement. He seemed to hesitate a little, but in the end he raised the corners of his lips and said firmly: "I will wait for Mr. Fang to come back at home."
"Okay." A smile appeared on Fang Zilan's face, "Before I come back, you and Vice General Cao will sort out the list of all the missing Shangguan clan for me. Everyone else will stay in the house and are not allowed to enter or leave."
Shangguan Fei nodded slightly and said, "Shangguan Fei accepts the order."
Vice General Cao also hurriedly agreed, then shook his head violently and said: "Boss, I'll go with you. I can't let you go alone. What if you are bullied?"
"Who said Mr. Fang is going alone?" Awan said, rolling her eyes at Admiral Cao, "I've been standing at the door for a long time, do you think I'm just a decoration?"
"This..." Deputy General Cao rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "Then you go with the boss?"
"Yeah. Awan knows how to do autopsies, so it's just right for her to accompany me." Fang Zilan agreed casually, but Awan's expression suddenly changed, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, I..."
"A Wan." Fang Zilan's voice suddenly sounded. The two words neither light nor serious made A Wan lose his momentum and murmured with a bitter face: "I haven't even passed my fourteenth birthday yet. Fang Zilan, you bully children like this..."
"You also know that you are still a child, so why are you so brave?" Fang Zilan glanced at Awan helplessly, "I will go alone, you don't have to follow me, just stay at home safely."
After Fang Zilan said that, she stood up and left. However, before she reached the door of the house, Awan grabbed her sleeve and said, "I'll go with you."
