"I have a question. Can Mr. Fang answer it for me?" Fang Chongzheng seemed to have anticipated Fang Zilan's reaction. He changed his voice and said, "If Mr. Fang can answer my doubts, I would like to tell Mr. Fang what he wants to know most." thing."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's eyes became sharper. She had been making moves since the beginning of the year, from Baiye Temple to Fang's family. Others might not know what she was checking, but Fang Chongzheng must have known.
It sounded like a deal, and one she couldn't refuse.
Her silence seemed to be acquiescence, and Fang Chongzheng asked plainly: "Since Lianyang can poison Duke Jui, why doesn't she attack Pei Pening directly?"
Fang Zilan's expression suddenly froze. She did not expect that it was the simplest question. But she still said: "Because Pei Pening is the only one in the Pei family who never uses medicine. Duke Guo Guo is often ill and cannot live without medicine. The poison that Pei Penming spent a lot of money to buy took advantage of this. Among the medicines used by Lord Guo Guo every day, they will not be detected but can kill him."
"If this poison is applied to the little girl's sleeve arrow, will it have the same effect?" Fang Chongzheng asked, and Fang Zilan said categorically: "Yes, but it won't work as quickly as taking it orally."
Fang Chongzheng said thoughtfully: "If this poison is used on Mrs. Pei or other members of the Pei family, will it also be fatal?"
Fang Zilan still replied neatly: "Yes."
She had asked Awan to check the poison before, and Awan told her that the poison was incompatible with the medicines commonly used by the Pei family, so it would be fatal if used on the Pei family, and on others...
Wait, the medicine commonly used by the Pei family...
Fang Zilan suddenly realized something. Before she could change her words, she heard Fang Chongzheng say: "Master Fang's words are wrong. Except for Duke Guo and Mrs. Pei, if anyone else uses it, it may not be fatal."
"What do you want the Prime Minister to tell me?" Fang Zilan calmly held the tea cup in her hand. Fang Chongzheng already knew the answer, so he just pushed her into the game by raising suspicions.
"Master Fang, I said there are many things I want to say today, and this is just one of them." Fang Chongzheng took a sip of tea and said quietly: "The medicine used by Duke Jun and Mrs. Pei is to relieve the cold frost." The poison. And Pei Pening found out the secret somewhere and got the medicine that induces the frost poison."
Frost poison? Fang Zilan felt that it was strangely familiar. Fang Chongzheng looked at her and said, "People in the ghost sect should be familiar with this poison."
Fang Zilan suddenly changed her expression, but Fang Chongzheng remained calm, "The poisons of the previous dynasties were incomparable to those of today. The frost poison was originally given to the dead soldiers of the secret guards to make them bow their heads and obey orders, but it was occasionally used. To disobedient courtiers, such as Pei."
He paused and said, "Master Fang must have heard that the mother of Duke Guo Guo married the Pei family to save the lives of the family. Although they saved their lives, there was endless torture after that. The frost on Duke Gui Guo's body The poison was given by his mother."
"Qi Canjun, what are you guilty of?" Fang Zilan looked indifferent, Qi Yuming still knelt straightly, "Shang Guan Min was released privately, and he had selfish intentions for the people in Sanyuan Village. He must be blamed for his death."
"It seems that Qi Canjun still doesn't know where he went wrong." Fang Zilan looked down at Qi Yuming and chuckled, "Qi Canjun let Shangguan Min go privately, which is really a great achievement. But you absolutely should not mobilize troops privately. Do you know that the military power in the northern border is in the hands of His Majesty? I cannot mobilize troops or generals without His Majesty's approval, let alone you joining the army at a young age?"
"Master Fang..." Qi Yuming raised his head in confusion, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he saw Fang Zilan bending down and whispering in his ear: "Qi Yuming, do you really think I couldn't guess that you came here alone? s reason?"
The surprise in Qi Yuming's eyes turned to fear, but Fang Zilan did not let him go. "You made an agreement with Huangfulin to use me as a shield and scapegoat, but I won't."
After saying that, she stood up leisurely, turned to the solemn soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Canjun's crime of deploying troops without permission is unforgivable. However, because of Qi Canjun's meritorious service, I will not kill him today until I report to His Majesty." Handle it. Someone, please take Qi Yuming down and take him back to the military camp."
Qi Yuming numbly allowed the soldiers to come forward and take him down, but deep down he felt extremely funny. It seemed that both Shangguan Jing, Huangfulin, and Qi Yuming had underestimated this woman.
Even though she knew it was a trap, she still stepped in without hesitation. It was not a desperate move, but a step-by-step plan to leave a way out.
She had already guessed that this dispatch would give Huangfulin an excuse to read her book in front of Li Shengxuan, but if she could not retreat, it would cause dissatisfaction across the entire northern border, and she would also be pulled down from her high position by Huangfulin.
Fang Zilan's superiority was riding a tiger with difficulty from the beginning, but she took the wrong approach and used the most risky move.
She not only put the charge of mobilizing troops without permission on Qi Yuming, but also desperately left Shangguanmin behind in order to save the barbarians and Shangguan's old friends, making Huangfulin scrupulous.
But Qi Yuming didn't know at that time that Fang Zilan's decision to keep Shangguan Min was completely selfish.
When Fang Zilan escorted Shangguan Min and Qi Yuming back to the military camp, it turned out that Huang Fulin had already been waiting in the tent for a long time.
Fang Zilan had a tired look on her brows, but she still managed to maintain her energy and went back and forth with Huangfulin, "General Huangfu is here, it seems that the Wang family's wedding party has left Yanzhou City. "
"Master Fang is very good at strategizing and predicting events, so he guessed well." Huangfulin said in a flattering tone, then turned to test with a look of embarrassment: "It's just that I saw Master Fang walking in a hurry during the dinner today. I thought there was something going on at the border. I I feel uneasy, so I have to come to the military camp to take a look in person to feel at ease. Who would have thought..."
Huangfulin paused pointedly, Fang Zilan frowned slightly and pretended to be confused: "General Huangfu might as well say it directly if he has something to say."
"In that case, I'll tell you straight." Huangfulin said sternly: "The military power in the north has always been in the hands of the current Holy Lord. I'm afraid it's unjustifiable for Mr. Fang to mobilize troops without permission, right?"
"What do I think?" Fang Zilan snorted disdainfully, "Your Majesty will surely understand that you will not accept your orders, so you must obey the authority when the matter is urgent."
"Follow authority when the matter is urgent?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Huangfulin's face, "Master Fang speaks too lightly of such a big matter as military power. I will definitely report to the Holy Majesty word for word what happened today."
"That's fine." Fang Zilan nodded and said thoughtfully: "I originally thought that General Huangfu would be considerate and cover up the matter for Qi Yuming. Now it seems that I can only bring it to His Majesty for disposal."
