"No, everything went well." Zhuge Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard placed on the table, avoiding Zhuge Ming's gaze as if fleeing.
"A Yu, there are some lies that are not suitable for you to tell." Zhuge Ming reached out and removed the chess pieces from the chessboard, but Zhuge Yu grabbed his arm, "I didn't lie."
Zhuge Ming looked at the person in front of him steadily, "So, actually you don't want everything to go well?"
"I..." Zhuge Yu hesitated for a moment and slowly let go of his hand, "I don't know what kind of truth is right and good."
"The truth doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong." Zhuge Ming straightened his sleeves, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhuge Yu, "Sir Xu Yi, who died in the New Year's Society drama, was originally the chief of the Criminal Department. For him, The law is the only justice.”
Law? Zhuge Yu was stunned when he heard this word, and for some reason suddenly thought of Mo Han. If the Duke of Yue is still here, he will probably continue to amend the law based on justice...
In the flash of lightning, Zhuge Yu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly understood the pros and cons. The purpose of killing Mo Han was not only to provoke Fang Zilan to avenge him, but also to prevent the reform of the law.
If you think about it from this perspective, I'm afraid the murderer behind it is not simple. All those with vested interests affected by the revision of the law may become accomplices who add fuel to the flames.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu stood up suddenly and said, "I want to go to the palace."
Zhuge Ming glanced at Zhuge Yu's back, and then his eyes fell on the tea cup. The tea surface in the cup was shaking, and the tea outside the cup spilled on the table, leaving an obvious water stain.
Several years have passed, and Ayu is still so restless. Was it wrong to ask your grandfather to hand over the position of head of the family to A Yu?
After all, it was him, the eldest brother, who failed to bear the name of Zhuge, and instead made the younger brother suffer...
"Sir." The young man stepped forward. Zhuge Ming calmed his expression and said, "You don't have to deal with it. Go follow A Yu. If there is any situation, you can report it at any time."
"Yes." The boy responded and left, chasing Zhuge Yu to the palace gate, but failed to follow him into the palace.
Because Zhuge Yu entered the palace this time, he almost broke into the palace, holding the official's token all the way to the outside of Fengyi Palace. The guards in the palace couldn't stop him because of the official token in his hand, but seeing that he looked bad and menacing, they were afraid that something would happen, so they detained all his entourage outside the palace.
However, when Zhuge Yu rushed to the door of Fang Zilan's room, he was still a step too late. Xia Houzhang stood in front of him and said, "Your Majesty ordered that no one is allowed to enter.
"Is Your Majesty inside? Is Miss Fang San awake?" Zhuge Yu frowned. Xia Houzhang did not answer his question, but just repeated what he had said.
Zhuge Yu's inquiries outside the door were unsuccessful and he was in a stalemate with Xia Houzhang. Inside the door, Fang Zilan and Li Shengxuan looked at each other in silence, but their tense faces suggested that they were at war with each other.
Until Li Shengxuan spoke first, the tense atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, "Did you do something wrong with Xu Youtong's house?"
Fang Zilan sat on the bed, her face haggard, but her eyes sharp. She nodded, "Yes."
Li Shengxuan took a deep breath, "Were you responsible for all the fifty-two lives in the Xu family?"
"Yes." Fang Zilan admitted neatly. Li Shengxuan clenched his fists with a ferocious look on his face, "Fang Zilan, do you know what you are doing?"
"I know exactly what I am doing." Fang Zilan looked indifferent, "Your Majesty, do you know what kind of person I am?"
Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief. He thought he knew her somewhat, but now it seems that maybe it was just a joke. He has never really understood her as Zi Xiu.
Cruel and ruthless, using all possible means... all the legend-like descriptions turned out to be not completely unreasonable.
"Why are you..." As soon as Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "They killed Mo Han, and I want them to pay with their blood."
"It was not the Xu family who killed Mo Han!" Li Shengxuan stepped forward and stood beside the bed, looking at Fang Zilan condescendingly. "You kill innocent people indiscriminately. How are you different from the person who killed Mo Han?"
"No different." Fang Zilan raised her head and looked at Li Shengxuan, "We are all murderers, and His Majesty can deal with it how he wants."
"Fang Zilan!" Li Shengxuan grabbed Fang Zilan's neck with both hands and could end her life with just a little force. However, she didn't struggle at all, and she didn't even frown.
"Do you know that Xu Youtong has followed my secret order and will go to Jiangnan to investigate corruption cases in the next year?" Li Shengxuan's voice showed an imperceptible tremor, not knowing whether it was anger or pain, "If I guessed correctly, someone is I was in danger, so I killed Xu Yi to intimidate Xu Youtong, who would have thought that you would..."
He didn't say anything further, and the look in Fang Zilan's eyes changed from calmness to shock, and finally settled into regret. It turned out that someone mistook Mo Han for Xu Yi, but they never thought of taking advantage of the mistake and used her hand to eradicate the entire Xu family.
The people behind the scenes must be very proud now. Without spending a single soldier, someone is willing to make a sword and complete this situation, even better than they planned.
The strong sense of suffocation made Fang Zilan dizzy, but she still asked intermittently: "Why did Mo Han... act for Xu Yi... in the New Year social drama..."
Li Shengxuan relaxed his strength and said in a deep voice: "Every year before New Year's Eve, Xu Yi goes to Longyan Temple outside Beijing to pray for the Xu family. However, this year, the incense in Longyan Temple was extremely prosperous and there were many people praying. He was separated from his entourage. He got lost again, which made Xu Youtong think he was missing, so he had no choice but to find Mo Han as his replacement."
Fang Zilan coughed a few times and couldn't help but ask, "Is it just an accident?"
"The testimony of the monks of Longyan Temple is on the desk in the royal study. To be sure, Xie Yanping also ordered people to visit the people who went to Longyan Temple to offer incense in those days. The testimonies are all correct." Li Shengxuan said every word. Said: "Mo Han's death was just an accident."
"I don't believe it." Fang Zilan gasped and gritted her teeth: "Xu Yi goes to Longyan Temple every year, how could he get lost?"
"Fang Zilan, what you don't believe is the truth or you?" Li Shengxuan pinched Fang Zilan's chin and said sternly: "After Xu Youtong's death, the Jiangnan corruption case will probably be shelved..."
"Apart from Xu Youtong, is there no one else?" Fang Zilan looked stubborn. A look of sadness flashed in Li Shengxuan's eyes, and he let go as if he had made up his mind, "I will go to Jiangnan in person."
"What?" Fang Zilan stared blankly at Li Shengxuan, who was standing straight. He breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fang Zilan, I don't want to see you again in the future. If there is a next time, I will kill you."
