"Master Fang Lihui."
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, and said with understanding: "This Fang Lihui can be considered a figure. Forget it, don't tell Fang Lihui and Warners about my waking up. I will go to General Dugu's place tomorrow. While interrogating the bandit leaders, I will go see them after the interrogation is over."
"Tomorrow?" Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan doubtfully and saw her chuckle, "I can walk around when I wake up. It's just a trivial matter to interrogate a bandit leader."
Zhuge Yu obviously didn't believe her words and turned to look at A Wan sitting by the bed.
A Wan was so angry that she groaned, "You were scared just now, but now you are going to show off, right? I think your injury is not serious enough. If I had known better, I wouldn't have bothered so much and made you lie down for more than ten days without being able to get out of bed. Say it again."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan worriedly. She was still laughing, "Don't listen to Awan's nonsense. She has such a temper and always makes a fuss out of a molehill."
"Since Mr. Fang thinks I'm making a fuss out of a molehill, please hire someone else!" A Wan left the room angrily. Zhuge Yu looked at her back blankly and murmured at a loss: "I need to find A Wan. Is the girl coming back?"
Fang Zilan shook her head, "No need, she is just spoiled."
"Although Miss Awan has a bad temper, she really cares about Sister Lan." Zhuge Yu tried to persuade her, and Fang Zilan sighed helplessly, "I know, I know everything."
The second half of her sentence was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Zhuge Yu still heard it. He understood her concerns and that she couldn't help herself, so he didn't say anything else immediately. He only said that he wanted her to take a good rest and that he would accompany her to the interrogation tomorrow. The bandit leader said his goodbyes.
"Since I became the Minister of Rites this year, I dare not say that there are no mistakes or omissions, but I have indeed tried my best to deal with the other party." Wang Quanrui said seriously: "After Lord Xue came to the house to deliver documents for the first time, he made the arrangements. The Lord’s words were brought to me. I thought Lord Fang would not say these words for no reason, so I sent someone to investigate secretly.”
Fang Zilan didn't speak, and Wang Quanrui thought to himself: "I found that all matters related to Mr. Fang have been handled by Mr. Xue this year. Mr. Xue deliberately made trouble not once or twice, but Mr. Fang never raised any objections, so he Change the target to General Cao who is next to Mr. Fang."
Fang Zilan picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of tea. She still had no intention of speaking. Seeing this, Wang Quanrui continued, "Master Xue wants to take advantage of General Cao's mistake in his position to force Master Fang to attack the Ministry of Rites, thus implicating For me, I am afraid that my position as Minister of Rites will not be preserved by then."
"Master Xue knows me well. As long as the Ministry of Rites targets me, as long as I don't do anything out of the ordinary, I always turn a blind eye." Fang Zilan said, her voice a little colder, "But if it targets those around me, For important people, I must seek an explanation for them."
"Yes." Wang Quanrui nodded hurriedly, but saw Fang Zilan's lips curling up slightly, "Not only does Mr. Xue know this, but Mr. Wang also knows it."
Wang Quanrui was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Fang?"
"I'm just curious." Fang Zilan said calmly: "According to Mr. Wang's wishes, Mr. Xue is waiting for me to attack your Ministry of Rites and drag you down from the position of Minister of Rites. But how does Mr. Xue know that Mr. Wang must Will be implicated, and he will definitely be able to take his place?"
Wang Quanrui pursed his lips, and the smile on Fang Zilan's face became brighter, but there was no smile in his eyes. "For example, now, Mr. Wang has placed all his mistakes on Mr. Xue, but he is very innocent."
"Master Fang, in any case, I am responsible for lax discipline in this matter, and I will apologize to your majesty." Wang Quanrui stood up and bowed his hands, "But Master Fang's words imply that this matter was secretly controlled by me, forgive me. I beg to differ.”
"Since Mr. Wang said so." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Then I will give Mr. Wang a chance to defend himself, so as not to cause trouble in front of His Majesty in the future, and Mr. Wang will say that I deliberately framed you."
Wang Quanrui stood up straight and said, "Master Fang is serious. Just now, Master Fang showed me two documents. The only difference between the two documents is that your position was wrong in the first time and corrected in the second time." As for the position of General Cao, there are problems both times. Please imagine, Mr. Fang, if Mr. Xue deliberately wanted to sell you a favor, so he quietly sent the correct documents to your house on the day before New Year's Eve to show that He is different from other people in the Ministry of Rites, so why didn’t he correct the rank of Vice General Cao as well?”
Fang Zilan smiled thoughtfully, and Wang Quanrui's eyes were heavy, "Master Fang has met Master Xue, and he knows that he is a meticulous person. The year-end festival is so important, and he will never make such a mistake. Since it is not accidental, , that’s intentional.”
His last words were a little more serious, and the charcoal fire in the room crackled several times as he finished his words.
Fang Zilan didn't speak for a while, and then said after a long time: "Master Wang's words make sense."
Just as Wang Quanrui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her ask: "But there is still something I don't know about, and I would like to ask Mr. Wang to clarify it."
"Master Fang, please speak." Wang Quanrui bowed his head respectfully, and Fang Zilan said quietly: "Since this matter was all done by Master Xue, why did he relay my words to you, Master Wang, to make you suspicious and investigate, and then failed?"
"This..." Wang Quanrui hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a secret..."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked over, meeting Fang Zilan's eyes. His eyes dodge for a moment, and then he met hers directly without any hesitation.
Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and said, "My illness is not cured yet and I can't bear the cold. The charcoal fire in the house is burning brightly. It's normal for Mr. Wang to sweat due to the heat." .”
Wang Quanrui subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and then realized that he was sweating profusely. He immediately said with a smile: "It's okay. Mr. Fang is not feeling well, so I won't bother you anymore..."
"Master Wang, please wait." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "There is a mistake in the year-end ceremony. Whatever you say, Master Wang, I will not cause you any trouble in front of His Majesty. In exchange, Master Wang has to promise me one thing. .”
Wang Quanrui looked stern, "Master Fang, I just say it's okay."
"General Cao in my mansion will serve in the government office in the future." Fang Zilan held the desk with one hand and sat upright. "Since General Cao is no longer my general, of course he will establish his own business. I have only one request. , General Cao’s residence is arranged to be as close as possible to my residence. Isn’t that too much?”
