Chapter 340 Verification

"I don't think so. Even if the Prime Minister is making a fuss, the Xiahou family may not be willing to let His Highness Xiang give him this face." Fang Zilan looked faint, "Some things seem to be extremely clear, as long as there are still doubts, there must be hidden information. Qianjinfang not only seeks the truth, but also asks about hidden information."

"Mr. Fang's words are reasonable. I will ask the sisters in the Fang to continue to investigate." Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, and Fang Zilan changed her voice, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Xuan'er sipped a sip of tea and said, "This time the Huangfu family entered Beijing, General Huangfu Lin and his son Huangfu Xin went with him to get married."

"Get married?" Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "Huangfu Xin is indeed old. I wonder which family General Huangfu Lin plans to marry?"

"The family of the princes and the family has always been among the nine masters. The Huangfu family also looks down on ordinary officials and families." Xiao Xuan'er said while thinking: "Now, the family of the princes and the family who are waiting to marry their daughters in the capital are the Pei family, the Wei family and the Su family, but..."

"The Pei family has a weak descendants and will definitely not be willing to marry his daughter from the north." Fang Zilan said, "Then only the Wei family and the Su family are left. The Wei family and the Huangfu family are both military generals. Huangfu Xin has no help in marrying the Wei daughter. I think it is possible that the marriage with the Su family is even greater."

"But the Su family has declined over the years, and the current celebrity is just the censor Su Yun..." Xiao Xuan'er suddenly stopped as she said, Fang Zilan looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that there was also a daughter waiting to be married in the Ouyang family, Miss Ouyang Zirou." Xiao Xuan'er smiled as if she was self-deprecating, "This Miss Ouyang often goes to the workshop and has no daughter in the aristocratic family. Over time, people will soon forget her identity as the daughter of the Ouyang family."

Fang Zilan was stunned, "Is Zirou the legitimate daughter of the Ouyang family?"

"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er smiled and said, "There is only one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter of the Ouyang family, who are regarded as the pearl of the jade bi of the Ouyang family. Therefore, Miss Ouyang is so unrestrained."

"Zi Rou is quite insightful about weapon forging techniques. If you get married, you will probably be buried." Fang Zilan sighed softly, and Xiao Xuan'er said softly: "I'm afraid Miss Ouyang herself. The reason why I suddenly remembered her was because His Majesty wanted to set up a special position for her in the Ministry of Works a few days ago."

A hint of astonishment flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, "Your Majesty really has this intention?"

"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er looked quite regretful, "But before others could speak, the Ouyang family refused His Majesty on the grounds that there were so many inconveniences in the boudoir women."

Fang Zilan's face turned a little cold, "If the Ouyang family has this attitude, it is not impossible to marry Zi Rou away from the north."

Xiao Xuan'er shook her head, "But Mrs. Ouyang loves Miss Ouyang very much. She rejected Your Majesty not only for the sake of her daughter's boudoir, but also for keeping her by her side. If she really married the North, she wouldn't be willing to give up."

"The boudoir is famous?" Fang Zilan smiled indifferently, and Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips and said, "I think Lord Fang never cared, but not all women can be like Lord Fang. It is difficult for a woman to stand up, and if she is not careful, she will be ruined. A family is particularly rich, and thousands of honors may have to prove their innocence by death. How dare you make a mistake?"

Fang Zilan was silent for a moment before saying, "I asked you to investigate the person, how did you do that?"

"Most of the officials in the government office have innocent families, but three were seconded from the Ministry of Revenue, and they were related to the Pei family. The details are here." Xiao Xuan'er took out a document from her sleeve and handed it over, "There is another thing..."

Fang Zilan took the document and said, "If you have something to do, say it."

"It has something to do with Deputy General Cao." Xiao Xuan'er said and waved her hand. "There is no problem with Deputy General Cao's background. It is just that after the Battle of Miluo, His Majesty was rewarded. Although he was still called the deputy general, he was actually a legitimate general who could be independent. Now he is still at Lord Fang's mansion..."

Fang Zilan knew it, "Although there are registered soldiers in the palaces of all the major officials and ministers, if Lao Cao is a general, his reputation would be too high."

"This is the reason." Xiao Xuan'er agreed: "A few days ago, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites confirmed, they sent someone to the Beijing suburbs to inquire about the relevant matters, and also asked Deputy General Cao himself. He said that he followed your arrangements by Lord Fang. But he was a general after all, and if such words were heard by those who were interested, there would be a storm."

"I understand this." Fang Zilan's expression was dim and unclear. "I personally go to ask for an imperial edict after the new year and resolve the matter."

Xiao Xuan'er couldn't help asking, "How should Lord Fang solve it?"

Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "I lacked a general who commanded the superiors and subordinates. Although the position is not very high, she will not be wronged by Lao Cao."

Xiao Xuan'er casually said: "Just like this, Deputy General Cao can't be considered a person from Lord Fang's mansion."

"What's the point in my mansion?" Fang Zilan changed the topic while adding tea, "Speaking of it, have you checked Cong Rong?"

"I checked it, as Miss Cong herself said, there was no problem." Xiao Xuan'er pondered for a moment and said, "I can't find a strange thing in the sisters who went to Qingshui Village to verify it."

Fang Zilan looked a little serious, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Xuan'er frowned slightly, "Everyone in Qingshui Village remembers Miss Cong, but she can't explain it clearly."

"What does it mean to be inexplicable?" Fang Zilan looked puzzled, and Xiao Xuan'er said, "I also find it strange. The sisters who checked it are vague. Just in case, I want to verify it again."

"Check it, but you must not show up." Fang Zilan thought, "You ask someone to take a portrait of Cong Rong and other women and let the people in Qingshui Village identify it. If you can't tell it, it's probably not only Cong Rong, but Qingshui Village has problems."

Xiao Xuan'er bowed and said, "I'll make arrangements now, and I will definitely live up to the entrustedness of Lord Fang."

"You remind the sisters in the house to pay attention to safety." Fang Zilan was worried, and Xiao Xuaner whispered: "The sisters in the house are responsible, please rest assured."

Fang Zilan waved her hand, "You go."

Xiao Xuan'er got up and left. Fang Zilan also stood up and walked to the door, siring: "Shangguan Min, the wave of his hand was not exerted properly, start over."

Shangguan Min was stunned, "Master Fang, aren't you talking to Sister Xiao?"

"I still have the heart to care what I am doing." Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "Shangguan Min, you have a good ability to use your mind twice."

"Didn't you teach me?" Shangguan Min said innocently: "I'm not doing anything wrong when I look at the world and listen to all directions."

Fang Zilan pulled her mouth and said deliberately: "Then what have you heard?"

"I heard nothing." Shangguan Min was confident, "What's more, what do you women say when they say something?"

Fang Zilan smiled helplessly, "Okay, continue practicing your gun. Also, what are you calling me?"

"Fang Da..." Shangguan Min stopped suddenly and changed his words: "Master!"

Fang Zilan responded, and before he could say anything, he saw the butler coming hurriedly, "Sir Fang, someone from the Ministry of Rites is here."

The storm and secret verification in the court went hand in hand, Fang Zilan: It is not easy for workers to rest...
