Chapter 430 Acknowledgement

After Fang Zilan returned to the government office, Yang Zhiqing, Cao Hong and the others surrounded her. She explained the specific situation in a few words. After hearing this, Yang Zhiqing remained silent. Cao Hong was stunned and said, "How could it be..."

Fang Zilan said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I must ask for an explanation for Lord Wu, so I won't let him die in vain."

Cao Hong wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, but he just said softly: "Boss, don't be too sad."

Fang Zilan waved her hand and signaled that she was fine. She swept over the trembling people in the yard, then looked at Shichen, and sent them all back.

Cao Hong escorted Fang Zilan back to the mansion. She didn't say much all the way. She walked to the mansion gate and saw that everyone in the mansion was waiting there. Mo Han, Awan, Xiao Xuaner, Cong Rong and Ashi, and others were all relieved when they saw her.

Awan rushed up and hugged Fang Zilan, "We have heard about Lord Wu, but fortunately you are fine."

"What can I do?" Fang Zilan smiled and reached out to pat Awan's back, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Mo Han smiled comfortably on the side and said, "I just said Sister Lan will be fine. Miss Awan, are you at ease now?"

"Young Master Mo said to me." Awan turned around from Fang Zilan's arms and said angrily: "I don't know who it was just now, so I was so anxious that I couldn't sit still."

"Okay, let's go back." Fang Zilan let go of Awan's hand, but the next moment she pulled her sleeve and gave a wink.

Fang Zilan understood it and let Awan pull her back to the house in the name of changing clothes.

"I met King Chujiang on the street today, and he said..." Awan hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master wants to see you."

Fang Zilan's expression gradually became colder, "When?"

"Tomorrow." Awan looked worried, and Fang Zilan asked, "When did you meet King Chujiang?"

Awan thought about it, and after an hour, Fang Zilan's expression sterned, "It's him."

"What?" Awan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "What do you mean is that King Chujiang killed Lord Wu?"

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "It is very likely. People from the Ghost Sect rarely take action in the daytime. Even if they have tasks, the fewer people, the better."

"Then the young master sees you..." Awan didn't say anything, Fang Zilan's face was as deep as water. "The soldiers came to block the water and block the soil, so he wouldn't have killed me too."

The next day, Fang Zilan went to the Ghost Gate at the agreed time. In addition to Ji Ningtian and Wu Qing, the King of Chujiang and the King of Wheels among the Ten Kings of Hell were also there.

"I don't know what's the point of looking for me?" Fang Zilan was straight to the point, and Ji Ningtian didn't go around with her, "Lan'er, I heard you are pursuing Wu Sheng's death."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan thought to himself that Ji Ningtian was really calm. He knew that the recent failure of the mission was due to her attempt to stop it, but he still looked as if nothing had happened and only talked about Wu Sheng's death.

"Why, what I said is wrong?" Ji Ningtian raised his eyebrows, Fang Zilan nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed pursuing this matter."

After saying that, she turned to King Chujiang, "If I guess correctly, Lord Wu was killed by King Chujiang, right?"

"Yes." King Chu Jiang recognized him, "But Zixiu, don't you want to know why Wu Sheng left the Ministry of Justice at that time?"

Fang Zilan pursed her lips tightly and said calmly: "Why do I need to know this? Killing someone pays for his life. Since King Chujiang has admitted it, I will kill you."

"Murder someone to pay for your life?" King Chujiang laughed as if he heard a joke, "Zi Xiu, you have more lives than me. If you follow your words, wouldn't you die tens of millions of times?"

"If anyone asks me for his life, I will wait at any time." Fang Zilan had no expression on her face, "It's King Chujiang, are you ready?"

King Chujiang looked at her in disbelief, then looked at Ji Ningtian as if he wanted help, "Young Master, Zi Xiu her..."

"Enough." Ji Ningtian interrupted him coldly. Seeing that Fang Zilan's lips curled gently, he said coldly: "If I followed King Chujiang's words, what would I hear? Will I be sow discord or framed?"

She said, smiling even more, but her eyes were filled with chills, "Since you have prepared a long time ago, why bother with me?"

"Lan'er, even if you have to kill King Chujiang, you should know something." Ji Ningtian's face was calm and he said word by word: "Originally, the person that King Chujiang was going to kill was indeed Yang Zhiqing."

His eyes fell on the Wheel King and continued, "Just as the Wheel King told you."

A look of suspicion flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, and Ji Ningtian turned his gaze back to her, "But it's always boring that has been a foregone conclusion, so I ordered King Chujiang to let Yang Zhiqing make a choice - whether to live by himself or Wu Sheng."

Fang Zilan took a breath, and a smile appeared on Ji Ningtian's lips, "People are extremely selfish. I thought Lan'er, you're different, but it's a pity."

"This is just a one-sided statement from your son. Why should I believe it?" Fang Zilan looked cold and Ji Ningtian chuckled, "Lan'er, Pei Poming and other waste, I didn't want to use him to make a move. What's more, once Wu Sheng died, he couldn't escape the suspicion, why do I have to do more trouble?"

Fang Zilan was not unclear about his words. On the contrary, after she met Pei Poming, she had a scheming in her heart. If Pei Poming had the courage to buy murder, Pei would not have been relying on Pei Yuqing and the Empress Dowager alone for so many years.

However, if it was Yang Zhiqing who designed to lead Wu Sheng out of the Ministry of Justice in order to survive... this is not impossible.

Yesterday, Yang Zhiqing was indeed extremely anxious, and after hearing that the Ministry of Justice died, his first reaction was Wu Sheng. She didn't have time to think about it at that time, but now when she recalled it carefully, his reaction didn't seem that simple...

Ji Ningtian looked at the person in deep thought in front of him leisurely, and before he could add fuel to the fire, he listened to her, "Why did Lord Wu leave the Ministry of Justice? I will continue to investigate. But since King Chujiang has pleaded guilty, I must take his life."

"Zi Xiu you..." King Chu Jiang was obviously panicked, but Ji Ningtian said carelessly: "Lan'er, wait, can I exchange my life for you?"

Fang Zilan didn't say anything. Ji Ningtian said as she agreed and said, "The Wheel King released the news privately to you. If he broke the rules of the Ghost Sect, he would only die."

"Young Master wants to use the life of the Wheel King to exchange for the life of the King of Chujiang?" Fang Zilan's hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist. Ji Ningtian replied: "Yes, what's Lan'er thinking?"

Fang Zilan suppressed his anger. Ji Ningtian planned to do this from the beginning, but he could only let him control it, as if a puppet was being tricked by him, without saying a word of rejection.

It was clearly a relationship that was broken up, but Ji Ningtian still maintained the decency of each other, and she could not rashly rebel and leave the sect. It was really hypocritical.

King Chujiang breathed a sigh of relief and heard Fang Zilan spit out a good word heavily. The King of Wheels wanted to step forward, but could not move in Fang Zilan's eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Ningtian said with satisfaction: "Since everything has been explained clearly, then Lan'er, please go and do your own business."

Sometimes, if you don’t know the truth, it’s a stab, and if you know it, it’s a knife.
