Chapter 542
: Killing
"You can tell that after the Duke of Yue Fang Zilan killed Princess Rong'an, thousands of people were scolded and killed. Why did the people in her house save their lives? On the day of the execution, King Rong'an was indignant and wanted to do it himself, but why was he blocked by King Yuning, a rich and idle man in the capital?"
The storyteller slapped the wood and raised his tone, "If you want to know what secrets are there, please listen to the next episode of decomposition."
Hearing the audience in the teahouse burst into laughter, some applauded, and some talked loudly, attracting another round of attention.
However, no one noticed that there was a man in the corner of the second floor with a gloomy expression, and he pinched the wine glass in his hand and creaked. He was so scared that he was trembling with fear and laughed loudly, "Lin Pao Head, this is not the first time..."
"Get out!" the man roared, and the waiter disappeared, leaving him alone sighing.
Needless to say, the man was Lin Jian, who was saved by Fang Zilan and the Yun family during the southeast plague and left his life. After the disaster, he regrouped and led the team to do good deeds with Wang Shenyun and Qinghan, who was also a little famous in the local area.
Until the news came from the capital that the Duke of Yue Fang Zilan killed Princess Rong'an and was sentenced to death. He seemed to be thundering. At that time, he still heard the words of asking Fang Zilan to avenge his brothers, but he did not expect that such a revenge was the case.
But no matter what others say, he never believed that Fang Zilan would kill Princess Rong'an, and the same was true for Wang Shenyun and Qinghan. But their belief was not enough. Even if Mo Han's parents and family, Mo Bin, the guardian of Mushan Pass, believed it, it would be useless.
In the southeast of the capital, they were humble and could not speak at all. They had to avoid suspicion because of the plague that year.
Times change, and the world changes with it. In the past, it was the savior, and thousands of people sought after it. Today it is the Shura ghost, and the ten evil things are unforgivable.
Creating God and destroying God is just a blink of an eye.
In the end, they had to compromise, and all they had to wait for was the news that Fang Zilan was executed.
No one knew that on the day of the execution, the sun was high at noon, and under the almost dazzling sunlight, King Rong'an was arrogant and wanted to execute himself, but was stopped by the uninvited King Ji Ningtian of Yuning. At that time, the real Fang Zilan was standing in the crowd.
She looked at the woman who was kneeling on the stage and looked the same as her. She thought to herself that she was tortured by Princess Erya and had already lost weight for several days in the prison. In addition, Wen Ya's disguise skills were superb, let alone King Rong'an, even Fang Chongzheng, it was difficult to tell that the person who came out was not her.
But even so, Li Shengxuan, all officials, and even Ji Ningtian, came. Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and they didn't think about the possibility of replacing prisoners and killing them, but Li Shengxuan suppressed them and let Ji Ningtian block them back.
The blood of sinners should not be contaminated with innocent people, let alone the most noble royal relatives?
When Ji Ningtian said such high-sounding words, Fang Zilan felt inexplicably sarcastic. Is it innocent?
However, no matter what, King Rong'an did not execute the execution himself, and the officials had no objection. They just ended the entire execution process amid the voices of the people around them, which were filled with righteous indignation or lamentation.
Afterwards, Fang Zilan dispersed with the crowd, and seemed to pass by the Duke of Yue inadvertently. The plaque had been removed, and the courtyard was bleak, no longer as it was before.
"Miss!" A petite figure hurriedly chased after him, his pretty face wrinkled into a ball, and he said in a suffocation: "It can be considered finding you."
Fang Zilan turned around and handed over a handkerchief, "Qiu Chan, I'm just so bored, I'm just out for a walk, don't worry."
The maid named Qiu Chan couldn't hold back at once, so she rushed over and hugged Fang Zilan and cried: "Miss, don't leave Qiu Chan again in the future, okay? Qiu Chan is really afraid..."
"Okay." Fang Zilan gently patted Qiu Chan's back and said in a gentle voice: "Peachers are watching, and those who don't know think I've bullied you."
Qiu Chan thrust and stopped her tears after a while. Before she could say anything, Xiao Xuan'er's voice came from behind, "Qiu Chan, the second lady is still waiting for the lady to come over, don't delay it."
"Yes." Qiu Chan suddenly stood up and took a step back. Seeing this, Fang Zilan smiled, nodded to Xiao Xuan'er, and then left without looking back.
After the Duke of Yue was confiscated, all the people in the mansion were sold to various detentions as slaves. Under the arrangement of Li Shengxuan, Mo Han went to the Minister of Revenue Xu You and became the attendant of the Xu family's son. Awan went to the imperial physician Ling Wenya mansion and became the maid who decocted medicine. Zheng Yan went to the Zhuge family and became Zhuge Yu's guard, while Xiao Xuan'er went to the Fang family of the Prime Minister's Mansion and followed Fang Zilan.
As for Qiu Chan, she was Fang Zilan's personal maid. She was timid and shy, and like a crying child. But before, she was ordered by Fang Chongzheng, and had to bite the bullet and change her appearance, hiding in Baoxiu Pavilion to pretend to be Fang Zilan.
During the Double Ninth Festival Palace Banquet the previous year, Qiu Chan showed up in front of the people and was already frightened. Fortunately, when she saw Fang Zilan that time, she finally felt a little comforted. Now that she finally waited for Fang Zilan to come back, she wished she could stick to each other every day, for fear that if she was not careful, Fang Zilan would disappear again and do something dangerous.
Seeing Qiu Chan following Fang Zilan with her step and dared not even blink her eyes, Xiao Xuan'er couldn't help but chuckled, "Miss Qiu Chan, be careful of her feet."
"Ah?" Qiu Chan was stunned for a moment, almost tripped by the steps, but Fang Zilan grabbed her arm with quick eyes and quick hands, so she didn't fall.
"Miss..." Qiu Chan's soft and glutinous voice was filled with a hint of embarrassment. Fang Zilan let go of her hand and avoided it without a trace. Although she had been back to the prime minister's mansion for two or three days, because she did not have the habit of being able to serve her closely, she was still not very comfortable following such a shy and timid little maid.
As a bystander, Xiao Xuan'er could see that, but Qiu Chan was only Fang Zilan in her heart, and she was the one who cared about Fang Zilan the most in the prime minister's mansion. So in order to avoid the embarrassment between the two, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Qiu Chan, how are you doing? You are not hurt, are you?"
Qiu Chan shook her head quickly, Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "It's fine if it's okay."
"Lan'er." Fang Chongzheng's voice sounded from above his head. Fang Zilan looked up and saw him standing in front of the window on the second floor of the restaurant, with no expression on his face.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan was stunned, then quickly walked upstairs. When he pushed the door open, he found that there was not only Fang Chongzheng, but also Ashi, Fang Zitong who had not made an appointment with her.
"...Dad." Fang Zilan opened her mouth and finally called out the title. Then her eyes fell on Ashi on the other side, and asked in disguise: "This young man is..."
"You..." Ah Shi looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression, "Are you really not Lord Fang?"
Because "Fang Zilan" was executed, the entire Duke of Yue barely escaped, but will the matter be settled?
