Fang Zilan looked at the little girl who was speaking, her face was somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a moment, the name Shangguan Linglan suddenly appeared in Fang Zilan's mind, making her narrow her eyes involuntarily, "If you don't believe me, what can you do?"
"If I don't believe you, I will find the murderer myself." Shangguan Linglan looked like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Fang Zilan found it very interesting, smiled slightly and said: "Then you might as well give it a try."
Shangguan Linglan seemed not to have expected that Fang Zilan would agree so readily, and stood there blankly without any response.
On the contrary, Shangguan Pei on the side suddenly spoke: "Since Mr. Fang allows everyone to find the murderer together, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Sister Linglan for advice."
Shangguan Linglan looked at Shangguan Fei and nodded in response, "You say it."
After obtaining Shangguan Linglan's consent, Shangguan Fei thought carefully and said, "I checked the purchasing records written by the housekeeper and found that every purchase was made by two people together. Twice, I remember one time it was Sister Linglan, you and Sister Lingmei. , and the other time I went with sister Lingyun, both of them disappeared, but you came back."
"You doubt me?" Shangguan Linglan frowned, her expression clearly displeased, "Didn't others come back when they went shopping?"
"If it's someone else, when they come back, they will come back together. If they disappear, they will disappear at the same time. Sister Linglan, this situation has only happened to you." Shangguan Fei looked at Shangguan Linglan, and the scrutiny in his eyes was self-evident. Yu said, "I wonder if Sister Linglan has any explanation?"
"You!" Shangguan Linglan bit her lips and tilted her head to one side, "That's all if you don't believe me. I have nothing to explain."
"Really?" Shangguan Fei smiled noncommittally, and was about to say something else when he saw Fang Zilan suddenly stand up and straighten his clothes.
Fang Zilan said softly: "You Shangguan family is interrogating your own people, so I won't stand by and watch the excitement." After saying that, she turned around and left the yard, but she still did not forget to tell Deputy General Cao to keep an eye on everyone and not leave any one behind.
Awan followed Fang Zilan and left the yard. Seeing no one around, she approached Fang Zilan and lowered her voice: "What are your plans?"
"Of course we have to get rid of the suspicion of murder first." Fang Zilan kept walking and said in a calm tone, "You should have seen that when you went to court with me today, Zhong Yao didn't dare to deal with me without conclusive evidence. He If he is really helpless and selfish, he may even favor my side. But if this matter is delayed for a long time, even if there is no evidence, he will not be able to withstand the pressure from the northern family and the spit of the people of Yanzhou. "
"Then where are we going now?" Awan asked uncertainly, "Is it to the Wang family?"
"First go and report a message to Zhong Yao, and then go to Wang's house." As Fang Zilan spoke, she had already seen the right opportunity and took Awan out of the house quietly.
After confirming that no one was paying attention, Fang Zilan took Awan and hid in the alley, and then continued, "As soon as the accountant leaves the house, he will inform his master. No matter whether his master is Zhao Jinqian or not, he will always inform that person. Just let me know. Others dare not say that Huo Sanniang's flesh and blood business is at the forefront, so she must avoid the limelight. Do you think she will take action? "
Awan nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course I can."
"As long as Zhong Yao moves quickly, even Huo Sanniang can be blocked for a while." Fang Zilan pulled A Wan to turn left and right with familiarity. A Wan let her pull him, a little curious, "You are all on this road. How did you find it?"
"Before I decided to go back to the city, I had seen the map of Yanzhou countless times." Fang Zilan said, motioning Awan to look towards the Zhizhou Mansion not far ahead. "Actually, Shangguan's old residence is very close to Zhizhou Mansion, but people usually don't see it when walking on the main road. If they take the alley, it will be a matter of seconds."
"But will the people behind Huo Sanniang watch helplessly as Zhong Yao arrests Huo Sanniang?" A Wan asked worriedly as she and Fang Zilan climbed over the back wall of the courtyard: "Wouldn't it be worse if we alert the enemy? "
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. They will always know what we do." Fang Zilan jumped down the wall and stood in the grass to help Awan get down from the wall. "Rather than being led by others, it is better to take the initiative. , let’s see what other options they have.”
After Fang Zilan finished speaking, she pulled Awan and walked towards the courtyard. Unexpectedly, she saw Zhong Yao drinking tea alone under the pavilion in the courtyard within two steps.
After Fang Zilan and Awan exchanged glances, they walked to the pavilion gracefully, "Master Zhong is so elegant."
"I'm waiting for Mr. Fang." Zhong Yao said, pouring a cup of tea, placing it in front of her, and making a gesture of invitation.
Fang Zilan sat nonchalantly opposite Zhong Yao, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "This tea is good."
Zhong Yao was dressed in plain clothes at the moment. He lost the majesty in the hall, but had a bit more fireworks. He smiled slightly and said: "Master Fang is here, do you have something to say to me?"
"Since Mr. Zhong guessed that I would come, you might as well guess again what I want to say." Fang Zilan said and put the teacup on the table.
Zhong Yao poured more tea for her, the smile on his face not diminishing, "Master Fang is in a hurry. He is so anxious and still in the mood to guess riddles with me. He is really enjoying himself."
"Master Zhong, if you are too smart, you will lose a lot of fun." Fang Zilan shook her head helplessly, "My housekeeper and his wife have both been recruited. They sold the missing Shangguan woman to Huo Sanniang. The people who patronized Huo Sanniang’s skin and flesh business were so careless that they killed people.”
"The wife of Mr. Fang's housekeeper, but the woman who blocked the road just now?" Zhong Yao took a sip of tea, Yun Danfengqing's unsurprised look made Fang Zilan stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "You should I wouldn’t have known earlier…”
Fang Zilan did not continue, but Zhong Yao nodded, "I told Mr. Fang in the court before that this matter needs to be investigated and Mr. Fang's consent is required."
"You are using me as a shield." Fang Zilan's expression darkened a bit, but she didn't expect to be tricked by Zhong Yao.
Seeing her change of expression, Zhong Yao also suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Master Fang is so restless. Then I dare to ask Master Fang, what do you think makes a good official?"
Zhong Yao suddenly changed his voice, but Fang Zilan was stunned.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Zhong Yao continued talking to himself, "The so-called parent officials have to think about the people. But has Mr. Fang ever thought about what the people are?"
"Everyone in this world is a common people." Fang Zilan answered accordingly.
Zhong Yao nodded approvingly, "Master Fang is right. Since everyone is a commoner, then naturally everyone in the high-level compound of the aristocratic family is also."
Hearing this, Awan interjected dissatisfiedly: "How can people from aristocratic families be compared with ordinary people?"
