For several days in a row, the moon was already in the sky when Mo Han returned home. Sometimes Fang Zilan couldn't wait any longer, so she could only go to rest first at A Wan's urging.
When Fang Zilan woke up the next day, Mo Han was no longer at the house and could not even see her. Not only that, Xiu Mu had never been so busy one day that Fang Zilan almost thought that the Ministry of Punishment was doing something extraordinary.
However, after asking twice, I found that everything was normal in the Ministry of Punishment. Except for a few adults who revised the law, everyone else took their baths on time and no one was away from home day and night.
In this way, Fang Zilan finally understood. Pei Pening had been banned from the government for several months. After finally being reinstated, how could he not show off his power?
He really doesn't have a long memory, and I don't know if Pei Juqing is too indulgent to him, or if he thinks he can do whatever he wants with the help of the Pei family?
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan suddenly lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks. Seeing this, Xiao Xuan'er was about to ask a question when she heard A Wan's furious voice coming from the courtyard, "It's really too much!"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan stood up and walked out, only to see Awan rushing over angrily with a food box, "Fang Zilan, that person under Pei Pening is really nothing!"
"What happened?" Fang Zilan took the food box smoothly and frowned when she felt the weight. "Didn't you deliver food to Mo Han and Zheng Yan?" She said and opened the lid of the box. As expected, she saw The dishes full of food were placed intact inside.
"Don't mention it." Awan said with a drooped face, "After I joined the Criminal Department, I was blocked by Pei Pening's people. They insisted that I produce something to prove my identity. I couldn't produce it. They actually want to search you..."
"What did you say?" Fang Zilan's expression turned cold and she interrupted Awan's words in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, people like them can't touch me." Although Awan said this, her face still turned red with embarrassment.
Fang Zilan's hand holding the food box suddenly tightened, "What are the soldiers who followed Mo Han to the Criminal Department doing?"
"The government soldiers brought by Mr. Mo can only stay outside the Punishment Department." Awan explained: "I guess Pei Pening and his gang saw this clearly and blocked me inside the Punishment Department."
She paused, "I didn't see Mr. Mo, nor General Zheng. I..."
"It's hard for you to still think about them. No one can be relied on at the critical moment." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Let's go."
"Ah?" Awan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing?"
Fang Zilan didn't answer, she just took Awan's wrist and walked out with the food box.
Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Xuan'er hurriedly followed, "Master Fang, don't be impulsive."
impulse? Fang Zilan thought to herself that if she was really impulsive, she would not be carrying the food box but the plum sword to the Ministry of Punishment.
However, at this time, Pei Pening was happily listening to his men talk about how they molested the little girl next to Fang Zilan and scared her away. After hearing this, he felt indescribably happy. He had no idea that Mo Han and Zheng Yan were standing not far away, listening to the words of his subordinates word for word.
"Master Pei." Mo Han suppressed his anger and walked quickly to Pei Pening, "I just heard your people say that Miss Awan has been here?"
Before Pei Pening could speak, his subordinates said: "It's nothing, Mr. Mo heard it wrong."
Before the man finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, a clear slap in the face, and a palm print on his face.
"Master Mo, you..." The man looked at Mo Han in disbelief, with a cold look on his face, and said sternly: "I'm asking Mr. Pei, are you?"
The man was about to argue, but Zheng Yan moved faster, took out his weapon and put it on the side of his neck, forcing him to take two steps back, his face as white as paper.
"Master Mo, what are you doing?" Pei Pening was also startled. He hid behind his subordinates, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Please tell him to put away his weapon!"
"General Zheng." Mo Han shouted, and Zheng Yan put away his weapon and stepped aside.
Pei Poming breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up and said: "We are all directors of the Criminal Department. Let's talk about what we have to say. Why use swords and guns? It's insulting to politeness."
"Tell me well?" Mo Han took a step forward and asked almost forcefully: "I'll ask again - Mr. Pei, has Miss Awan been here?"
"Never." Pei Poming answered neatly, and Mo Han took another half step forward, only a palm away from him, "Master Pei, if you lied to me..."
"Tricking you?" Pei Pening suddenly took action and punched Mo Han hard in the face, "So what if I'm tricking you? You are just a little guest, and you don't even have an official position. What qualifications do you have to question me?" "
No one expected that Pei Pening would dare to hit someone. Even Zheng Yan was startled. His first reaction was to support the crumbling Mo Han and check his injuries, so he did not take into account what Pei Pening said.
Seeing this situation, Pei Pening became more and more arrogant, and said with authority: "If I say no, it means no. Who do you think you are? How dare you not believe my words? I tell you, I will beat you to death today, and you deserve it. I will discipline you." What’s wrong with my subordinates?”
"Pei Pening, if you have the guts, try saying it again." A murderous voice suddenly interrupted Pei Pening's eloquent words. He felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he almost fell over. .
"Fang...Master Fang?" Pei Pening stared closely at Fang Zilan, who was walking very close, and raised the corner of his mouth with a smile that was uglier than crying, "Why are you here?"
"Why, I can't come?" Fang Zilan stood next to Mo Han, glanced at his purple eye circles and haggard face, and was so angry.
"No, I'm not..." Pei Pening waved her hand, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Fang Zilan stopped her, "Let's go back home." After saying that, she turned around and left, not wanting to even look at her. .
"Master Fang!" Pei Perming said boldly: "Master Mo still has official duties to complete, you can't..."
"With you here, there is no need to be Mo Han's errand." Fang Zilan turned around and said coldly, "Pei Pening, we'll see you in court."
Pei Pening's heart suddenly trembled when he saw Zi Lan's sharp eyes above him, and there was only one thought in his mind -
It's over.
"Master Pei?" Pei Pening's men called out a few times, and then he moved as if waking up from a dream, and stiffly uttered the word "go".
All his men immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. He was left alone to stand in the distance, going through all the people he could ask for in his mind.
From Pei Juqing to the Empress Dowager, from Mrs. Pei to Fang Zitong, and even the people from the Punishment Department who usually stood by Mo Han and took offense, he thought of them all.
However, these people seem to be useful, but in fact they are powerless. After all, Fang Zilan's last look clearly meant that he would not stop until he was killed.
It was the first time in my life that I felt such a real and strong killing intent.
