Chapter 437
Send away
The document to arrest King Chujiang was issued soon, and the notice board outside the imperial city also clearly stated that the two imperial officials, Wu Sheng and Yang Zhiqing, were both victims and corrected their names.
In the Ghost Gate, Ji Ningtian sent King Chu Jiang to Jiangnan and hid it, and visited Qianjinfang. So more than half a month passed, and there was no news of King Chu Jiang being arrested.
Fang Zilan was not surprised. When she threw out King Chujiang, she never thought that Li Shengxuan's subordinates could really catch him. The Ghost Sect has a deep foundation for so many years, and not everyone can move the Ten Palaces of Hell as the main agent.
However, if King Chujiang was wandering away, he would inevitably encounter Qianjinfang's actions, so she asked Xiao Xuan'er to send a message to Wan Jun and Zhen Mi'er, and try to be as low-key as possible and never expose it.
As for the Yang family, there were many turmoils. First, the old man of the Yang family came forward to force Mrs. Yang to set up a archway to maintain his rituals, and handed over his youngest son to be raised by Yang Zhiqing's brother. Then, Yang Zhiqing's mother was unable to afford to get sick after repeated blows, and she was afraid that she would be in a few days.
Fang Zilan found many excuses and ran to the Yang Mansion every few days. Later, she was too lazy to even think about excuses. She directly relied on her identity as a minister to block the clan elder who came to the door and returned, and did not let Mrs. Yang separate from her young son for the time being.
"They... bully too much!" The old man lay on the couch and dying. Mrs. Yang cried and comforted her: "Mother, it's okay, Lord Fang has driven them away."
"Okay... OK..." The old man coughed unsteadily, but he still forced himself to speak, "You must not let... they take it away..."
"I know, mother." Mrs. Yang grabbed the old man's hand that was raised in the air and held it tightly, "Don't worry, I won't let them take Yuan'er away."
Fang Zilan stood by the door and remained silent. Awan walked over from the old man's couch and shook her head.
The two looked over together and vaguely heard the old man say the word "Fang". Fang Zilan walked over quickly, "I'm here."
"Fang..." The old man was already dying, and seemed to be unable to see the person in front of him, but he still tried his last breath and gritted his teeth, "Please... take care of them... I'll be a cow... Well..." Before she finished speaking, she turned her head and swallowed.
Fang Zilan held the old man's still warm hand and said word by word: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them and will definitely not let them suffer any grievance."
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she seemed to be unable to help it anymore. She shouted "Mother" loudly while crying. Soon, she lost her strength and fell over.
Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly helped Mrs. Yang back. Fang Zilan said to Awan: "Go and see, has Zheng Yan invited Miss Xiao?"
"Here you." Before he saw the person, Xiao Xuan'er came and said gracefully, "General Zheng and I arrived just now. But when he heard that the old lady was seriously ill and could not come in to disturb her, he first asked the housekeeper for the account book to see it."
"How do you see?" Before Fang Zilan finished speaking, she saw Ashi running in, "Sister Xiao, wait for me."
"Ah, why are you here too?" Fang Zilan frowned. When Ah saw her, she was stunned at first, then lowered her head and obediently called "Master Fang".
"I took Ah Shi to come by myself," Xiao Xuan'er explained: "Ah Shi did better than me when looking at the account book."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan stopped pursuing it and said with a look of restraint: "Let's talk about the serious matter."
Ah Shi mustered up the courage and said, "As Lord Fang expected, the Yang family had already secretly transferred all the land and houses under Lord Yang's name to Lord Yang's clan brother..."
He didn't continue, Fang Zilan knew it in his heart, "Just just say how bad Mrs. Yang's situation is."
"Mrs. Yang's dowry was not much. A few days ago, many of them were taken away by the Yang family because of the archway. Now if you don't set up the archway to keep your rituals as the Yang family said, you will probably have to leave the house without permission." Ah Shi said the more he said, "And according to Sister Xiao, as a widow, once Mrs. Yang left the Yang family, it would be a violation of the law..."
"Enough." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "Every child, you can see some human nature, but don't be too pessimistic."
Ah Shi nodded in a depressed manner, Fang Zilan looked at Xiao Xuan'er, "I'll ask you about Fang Lihui, how are you asking?"
"Mr. Fang said it is not difficult to help Mrs. Yang and his son go out of the city, and it is not difficult to find a place to settle down for them and make a living in the future..." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, Fang Zilan said bluntly: "What does Fang Lihui want? The promised money is for another year?"
"No." Xiao Xuan'er waved her hand, "Young Master Fang wants it."
"What?" Fang Zilan glanced at Ah Shi, and he was also shocked, "Master Fang, I..."
"Don't be afraid, I won't hand you over to others casually." Fang Zilan comforted Ah Shi, and then asked Xiao Xuan'er, "What did Fang Lihui want Ah to do?"
"Pei exposed the smuggling of Fang's family. Mr. Fang broke his right arm and has been looking for a new person to take over recently." Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips, "Mr. Fang learned Ah Shi from somewhere, so she wanted to find an opportunity to get him over."
"It seems that this is not the first time." Fang Zilan looked at Xiao Xuan'er calmly, and she nodded slightly, "Yes, I saw that Master Fang was busy with affairs and thought that this was not a big deal, so I didn't report it."
Fang Zilan pondered for a moment. If Ah was following Fang Lihui, it would not be a bad thing. One was that he didn't know Ah was thinking, and the other was that if she easily agreed to Fang Lihui, she would probably be in endless demands in the future. After all, in terms of doing business, she would not get any benefits to Fang Lihui.
"Master Fang..." Ah Shi's voice suddenly rang, revealing indescribable pity, "I don't want to follow Mr. Fang, I just want to follow you."
"You can't follow me all your life." Fang Zilan sighed lightly, "But since you don't want to, I won't hand you over to Fang Lihui. Miss Xiao, please help me to bring a message to Fang Lihui. I will send Mrs. Yang and her son away within three days. If he doesn't help this, don't blame me for turning against me and asking for the bill directly."
Xiao Xuan'er responded and thought that Fang Zilan was not as good as Fang Lihui in business, but if you talk about being arrogant, I am afraid no one can beat Fang Zilan, let alone the Fang family owed her a lot of money.
So two days later, while attending the funeral of Mrs. Yang, Fang Zilan quietly sent Mrs. Yang and her son out of the capital.
It is logical that it is not the day for funeral, but people die like a lamp that goes out. After Yang Zhiqing left, this orphan and widowed mother was not welcomed at all in the Yang family, and she wished she could not see her. But when Mrs. Yang's mother's family heard that she had a widow, it was too late to distance herself from her relationship, and she would not care about her life or death.
For the Yang family, the purpose of this mother and son is Mrs. Yang's dowry and one of his youngest sons recommended the official position when they grew up. One was close to him and the other was too far away. The Yang family did not see it very carefully, and it just gave Fang Zilan the opportunity to send everyone away.
When Mrs. Yang took the child away, she no longer had no nostalgia for the capital. Instead, the other party talked a lot, "When my mother was guarding the archway, my husband was entrusted to others. It was rare for them to see them. I have heard of them and felt that it was difficult to endure. If it weren't for Lord Fang, I would have to go through this. I am not afraid, but my source is smaller than my husband back then. What if he was treated harshly, what if he didn't recognize me when he grew up..."
Fang Zilan reached out and covered her shoulders, "Madam Yang, you mother and son leave the capital and will never meet the Yang family again. No one can take Yuan'er away from you."
"Yes, Yuan'er and I will never be separated." Mrs. Yang shook her head suddenly, as if this could get rid of these days of fear.
After a while, she calmed down and continued: "Yuan'er has been catching butterflies these days. He said that if you catch the most beautiful butterflies, you can go to find your father. Now that he leaves, he is excited because he can see more butterflies."
She said as she hugged the child in her arms tighter and smiled for a long time, "Fortunately, there is still Yuan'er, and he is also my butterfly."
Fang Lihui: If there were no panacea like me, what would Lord Fang do?
