Qiao Nian was so burned that she lost consciousness, but she still held on to the hatchet in her hand and refused to put it down. Fang Zilan was worried that she would hurt herself and wanted to take the hatchet away by force, but was stopped by Awan.
"Forget it." Awan said to Fang Zilan while dealing with Qiao Nian's injuries: "This hatchet is equivalent to the belief that supports Miss Qiao's survival. If it is taken away from her, she may not survive. "
Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said nothing, quietly looking at Qiao Nian's injuries. There were many scratches and frostbite on her body, as if she had crawled out of a snow nest.
"Miss Qiao's injuries are not serious, just a few serious abrasions, but Mr. Ouyang..." A Wan's voice was a little lower, "Her hand bones were all broken, her muscles and veins were injured, she lost too much blood, and she also has a sense of survival. If you are weak, you may not be able to survive this test..."
"Awan, don't be burdened, just treat her." Fang Zilan patted her shoulder gently, "I have sent someone to invite Wen Ya, so you can rest assured."
Awan nodded, but before she could say anything, she heard Shangguan Min's voice coming from outside the door, "Master Fang, Sister Lingyuan is awake."
After hearing this, Fang Zilan walked out and went to see Wang Lingyuan with Shangguan Min. They also talked with Chu Bin and Xiao Xuan'er, and finally understood the whole story.
After Ouyang Zongrui proposed a way to frame Ouyang Zirou, he promised Mrs. Ouyang that he would bring her back to Ouyang's house in good condition. Mrs. Ouyang then acquiesced to him using the Wei family's connections and bribed soldiers from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to give perjury. Things did develop as he promised.
Although the Jingzhao Yin Mansion detained Ouyang Zirou, they did not deal with it. However, something unexpected happened after Wei Subaru reorganized the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. All the soldiers who had perjured themselves disappeared overnight.
On the one hand, Ouyang Zongrui was afraid that Wei Subaru would expose his fraud to others, and on the other hand, he tried to overthrow Ouyang Zirou to take over the arsenal. But whether it was Wei Subaru or Ouyang Zirou, as long as one of them opened his mouth, he would inevitably be ruined. Simply do nothing and never stop, so that they will never be able to speak.
Ouyang Zongrui didn't have the ability or courage to kill Wei Subaru, so his murderous intention naturally fell on Ouyang Zirou, who was trapped in prison and was defenseless.
However, when Ouyang Zongrui was planning with his men, Ouyang Juncheng's wife Wang Lingyuan happened to hear about it. He had an idea and captured her, forcing Ouyang Juncheng to give up the fight for the position of head of the family.
Ouyang Juncheng hesitated. Ouyang Zongrui was afraid that he would complain to the head of the Ouyang family and that Mrs. Ouyang would notice, so he ordered Wang Lingyuan to be sent out of the capital to hide. Unexpectedly, not far out of the city, they met Shangguan Min and Huangfu who were coming to the capital. Xin.
When Shangguan Min saw that his sister was being held hostage, he and Huangfu Xin rescued her without saying a word, and this prevented tragedy.
But Ouyang Zirou was not so lucky. According to people in nearby villages, a group of vicious men threw a group of people covered in blood into a mass grave, and no one dared to look at it.
Only the girl Qiao Nian was isolated due to the incident of monk Ji Ran in Longyan Temple. She lived alone beside a mass grave outside the village. Seeing that the fallen people were still alive, she went to rescue them without hesitation.
Qiao Nian tried his best to bring the person up, but when he found out that it was a seriously injured girl, he thought of Fang Zilan. Apart from Fang Zilan, she didn't know who else would lend a helping hand.
So Qiao Nian carried the hatchet and walked to the capital with a lonely courage, and then the scene at the gate of the city happened.
After Fang Zilan listened, her clenched fingers left crescent moons on her palms, but she felt no pain at all.
"Master Fang..." Xiao Xuan'er shouted indifferently, but Fang Zilan asked: "How is the Ouyang family now?"
"Mrs. Ouyang ordered people to surround the Ouyang family. No one can enter or leave, and no one knows what is going on inside." Xiao Xuan'er frowned slightly, and Fang Zilan was also stunned, "Does the Ouyang family master not care?"
Xiao Xuan'er's expression became more solemn, "This is the strangest thing. I heard that the head of the Ouyang family is seriously ill in bed, unconscious and unable to take care of things."
Fang Zilan calmed down and said coolly: "It turns out that before the news of Duke Guo Guo's death came out, the Pei family also said the same thing."
"Master Fang means..." Xiao Xuan'er looked shocked, and Fang Zilan said solemnly: "Since Ouyang Zongrui would kill Zi Rou, why wouldn't he take the initiative to kill the Ouyang family?"
"But..." Xiao Xuan'er wanted to say something, but Fang Zilan stopped her, "Once the head of the Ouyang family dies, as long as Mrs. Ouyang keeps her mouth shut and doesn't expose Ouyang Zongrui's evil deeds, no one will know the truth."
"Unless..." Xiao Xuan'er bit her lip, "Lord Ouyang Zirou can personally stand up and identify him."
"It's as difficult as climbing to the sky." Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy and unclear, "Not to mention that Zirou was seriously injured and it will take some time to recover. Just saying that she just escaped from the lawsuit, her credibility in the eyes of the world is much lower, far less than Her sanctimonious brother and mother."
"The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. Will Mrs. Ouyang really give up one for the convenience of the other?" Xiao Xuan'er's voice was very soft, but Fang Zilan could hear it clearly. She was silent for a while and then said: "Send Wang Lingyuan away tomorrow." When I return to Ouyang's house, I will know everything."
Xiao Xuan'er was stunned, "Master Fang wants to send Miss Wang back to Ouyang's house?"
"Wang Lingyuan is Ouyang Juncheng's wife now. If she stays in our house for a long time, she will be easily gossiped about." Fang Zilan prevaricates casually. Xiao Xuan'er hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "I understand."
After Xiao Xuan'er left, Huangfu Xin walked in and bowed respectfully to Fang Zilan, "Master Fang, I have something to ask of you."
Fang Zilan said clearly: "Do you want to fight for fairness for Zirou?"
"Yes." Huangfuxin still maintained his saluting posture and remained motionless, like a stone sculpture.
"You know this is difficult." Fang Zilan looked calm, and Huangfuxin said resolutely, "I know."
Fang Zilan's expression became a little sharper, "The Ouyang family may not stand by Zirou's side, and you went to Beijing privately, and you can't protect yourself. How can you fight for fairness for her?"
"Even if Miss Ouyang's family abandons her, even if I can't save myself, I will still give it a try." Huangfuxin raised his head and looked at Fang Zilan, his eyes firm and incomparable, "Even if I risk my life and everything else, I will seek justice for her. .”
"Huangfu Xin, if I send a message to the Huangfu family, you will be detained immediately and returned to the north." Before Fang Zilan could finish her words, Huangfu Xin said: "Master Fang won't."
"You are wrong." Fang Zilan said coldly, "Huangfu Xin, if you have not fulfilled your responsibilities, I cannot believe you. If she wants Zirou's fairness, I will help her fight for it."
She paused, "As for you, if you don't return to the north today, I will send a message to the Huangfu family. If I can see you again tomorrow, I will personally escort you into the palace and hand you over to His Majesty."
"Master Fang..." Huangfu Xin opened his mouth, and Fang Zilan glanced sideways at him, "Family, country and people are more important than Mount Tai. My heart is like this, and so is Zirou. Otherwise, she would not have entered the court and ended up like this. situation."
