Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily, her eyes flushed with excitement. She suppressed her emotions and said word by word: "Master Yang Zhiqing died in an unknown manner. Your Majesty did not order anyone to investigate the truth, but instead used his death to Are you here to silence everyone?"
"Fang Zilan, if you are willing to tell everything you know, why would you do this?" Li Shengxuan's voice was full of forbearance, "What kind of existence is the ghost gate?"
Fang Zilan's expression froze, and then she raised the corners of her lips as if she was relieved, "Your Majesty knows that the death of the two adults is related to the ghost sect. It seems that the Zhuge family has found out."
Her expression returned to calm, and Li Shengxuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to be so calm.
"Ghost Gate, as the name suggests, is the place where lonely souls and wild ghosts live." Fang Zilan said quietly: "Who in the world can be called a lonely soul and wild ghost, I think your majesty should know it."
"Shameless old people from the previous dynasty." Li Shengxuan continued, and Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "That's right. Although Emperor Tai'an granted amnesty to the world when he came to the throne, many old people from the previous dynasty were not held accountable and were even entrusted with important tasks. However, the change of dynasties At that time, the seeds of hatred were sown. As time goes by, not only has it not disappeared, but it has gradually grown and cannot be ignored."
She paused as she spoke, "In the past, the Ghost Sect only roamed the world. It was the most famous killer organization after Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall."
Li Shengxuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall have all interfered in the political situation and caused shock in the court. Does the Ghost Sect want to follow in their footsteps?"
"Your Majesty is only half right." Fang Zilan took a deep breath and said, "Even if you intervene in the political situation, there are differences. Miluo Tianying guarded the high priest during the war between the three kings a hundred years ago, maintaining Yancheng Villa, and waiting for Hai Qinghe Empress Yan disappeared. But in the Baiyue Trial Hall, the Xie family, a famous official, was killed, the generals who protected the country were severely injured, and Baiyue was thrown into a bloody storm, and was eventually destroyed by the Xia family's army."
"What about the ghost gate in Dajing?" Li Shengxuan seemed to be asking and answering: "It seems to be the latter."
Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and remained silent as if acquiescing. Li Shengxuan looked at her thoughtfully, "But I'm curious, why do you know so clearly?"
"Even a killer must know where he is coming from and where he is going back." Fang Zilan spoke freely, but said it very seriously, "Learning from the past is a guide for the future. Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall have not been together for more than a hundred years, so we must not make the same mistakes again."
Li Shengxuan met her eyes and asked: "Are these words your true words, or are they spoken by the Lord of the Ghost Sect?"
Fang Zilan did not answer his question, but asked: "Does your Majesty hope that I have something to do with the Ghost Sect?"
"If I wish, can you have nothing to do with the Ghost Sect?" Although Li Shengxuan's words were questions, they definitely revealed a message - he was convinced that Fang Zilan was a member of the Ghost Sect.
Fang Zilan did not shy away, nodded and said: "I can think about it."
There was a look of helplessness in Li Shengxuan's eyes, and Fang Zilan smiled, "If there is anything else your Majesty wants to know, you might as well ask it all. As long as your Majesty speaks today, I will answer it."
"According to Xu Youtong, you told him that the murderer who killed Wu Sheng and Yang Zhiqing was the same person." Li Shengxuan said slowly: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
"I know." Fang Zilan admitted neatly, "I can identify the murderer, but I ask your Majesty to do something."
"What's the matter?" Li Shengxuan had a vague hunch that her request must be related to Yang Zhiqing.
As expected, Fang Zilan said without hesitation: "I beg your Majesty to announce to the world that Master Yang did not pay for the murder of Master Wu, but someone killed Master Wu and framed Master Yang as the blame."
She spoke faster and faster, as if she had been thinking for a long time and was just waiting for this opportunity to tell everything. "As for the truth, whether your Majesty continues to pursue it or ends here, I will identify the murderer and show it to Mr. Su and everyone in the world." An explanation.”
"What you ask for is not difficult. If the murderer is found, it will be enough to give an explanation." Li Shengxuan's eyes darkened, "But I want to know the truth. Is it the master of the ghost sect - Yuning Wang Ji Ningtian who planned all this? "
"The investigation was really fast." Fang Zilan sighed softly, and Li Shengxuan felt a sense of relief in his ears, whether it was an illusion or something.
"The identity of the Lord of the Ghost Sect is mysterious, and no one has ever known his true face." Fang Zilan bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "What's more, everyone knows that King Yuning is disabled and cannot walk. Such a person How can he be the master of the ghost gate?"
She knew that as soon as she said this, Li Shengxuan would doubt that Ji Ningtian was not really disabled, and would then cast doubt on Fang Chongzheng, the man who broke Ji Ningtian's legs.
But she knew better that there was probably a relationship between Fang Chongzheng and Ji Ningtian, which could be seen from the fact that she fell into the water and disappeared. There is still a third lady in the Fang family who appears in front of people in good condition. If it weren't for Fang Chongzheng's handwriting, who could do it?
In this case, she took the initiative to spread the news, and with Fang Chongzheng's cunningness, she could always act wisely and protect herself after hearing the news, right?
Of course Li Shengxuan didn't know her little thoughts, but he did have suspicions, so he simply made it clear to the public, "Although Ji Ningtian has been hiding in Hong'an Pavilion since he accepted the false title of King Yuning, his My mother, the former concubine Shu, has also died of illness. But I suspect that Ji Ningtian is not as peaceful as he seems on the surface, and his legs are not broken."
"Since Your Majesty is suspicious, wouldn't you know the answer after testing it out?" Fang Zilan said matter-of-factly, completely unaware that she had fallen into Li Shengxuan's routine again.
"That's what I have in mind." Li Shengxuan agreed: "During the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I will invite Ji Ningtian to the palace. At that time, I will also ask the Duke of Yue to perform a sword dance to give him a try."
Fang Zilan was stunned in place, and it took him a while to react, "Your Majesty, you..."
Li Shengxuan's lips curled up slightly, "Why, my Duke of Yue is not willing?"
Fang Zilan took a deep breath. Li Shengxuan said he was testing Ji Ningtian, so why wasn't he testing her? If she doesn't want to take action, then she has confirmed her love affair with ghosts, but if she does...
She will be regarded as a traitor, and what awaits her is an endless pursuit. unless……
"Fang Zilan?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Shengxuan called her name and pulled her back from her thoughts, "What?"
"I agree to what you asked for. If you don't say anything about what I want you to do, I will treat it as if you agreed." Li Shengxuan did not give her a chance to regret it, and changed his voice and said: "Since you have to give an explanation, you must Tell me, who is the murderer?"
Fang Zilan's mind was filled with the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and her voice was dull with worry, "The murderer is King Chu Jiang, one of the ten kings of hell in the Ghost Sect."
"How to find this person?" Li Shengxuan asked seriously, and Fang Zilan's voice became deeper and deeper, "I will give this person's portrait to your majesty, and your majesty only needs to order his subordinates to issue official documents for arrest at sea. But this person is not bad at skills. , you must be careful when arresting.”
"Okay." Li Shengxuan coughed lightly and said, "Portrait..."
Fang Zilan thought for a while and said honestly: "I'm not good at painting. Please ask your Majesty to invite a painter over."
