Chapter 725 Falling
"Okay, I understand." Fang Zilan casually put the flower paper on the table, "You go and reply to someone from the palace, and say I will definitely attend the banquet on time. Also, please ask me if you can bring relatives at the Double Ninth Festival banquet and how many people can you bring? Ask them clearly."
"Okay." The housekeeper nodded and replied, and then heard Fang Zilan say, "Thank you for your hard work in the palace, don't forget to give the reward to others."
After the housekeeper left, Awan helped Deputy General Cao sit over, "I have never held such a big fanfare in the Double Ninth Festival in previous years. Even the palace banquet was very simple."
Fang Zilan picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, and said happily: "It's great to have festivals, have banquets, have fun and enjoy, what do you do if you do so much."
"I find that you are really heartless now." Awan caught a melon seed, and Fang Zilan smiled, "I'll walk a few more times at the gate of hell, and I promise that your heart will be bigger than mine."
Awan shook his head and said, "Who can compete with you..."
"Eating less melon seeds will make you feel angry." Fang Zilan said as she stuffed Awan's teacup into her hands, "Drink tea. And Lao Cao, too, drink more tea."
"Boss, I'll do it myself." Deputy General Cao poured several cups of tea in a row. Mo Han said while helping him pour tea and water: "Deputy General Cao, drink slowly and be careful of burning."
Fang Zilan came to her senses, and as if she had made up her great determination, she pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Yang, go and surrender."
"What?" Yang Zhiqing was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"I will take care of you for the time being, your family." Fang Zilan looked decisive, as if there was no room for change.
"Master Fang..." Yang Zhiqing wanted to say something else, but Fang Zilan stopped him. "You are threatened, even if you are guilty, you will not be sentenced too seriously. Moreover, I will personally write a letter to plead for you. I will also..."
"Why?" Yang Zhiqing asked blankly, and Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "It will be a matter of time before Lord Zou Hongqi of the Ministry of Justice finds you. More importantly, killing someone to pay for your life. The person behind the scenes needs to be punished as they deserve."
"The punishment should be?" Yang Zhiqing laughed out loud as if he heard something funny, "Mr. Fang, how many people died in the capital? Have those murderers ever been punished? Why do I..."
"Not in the past, it does not mean there will be no in the future." Fang Zilan interrupted him and said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will make the people behind the scenes pay the price."
Yang Zhiqing raised his head, stared at Fang Zilan, who looked solemn and arrogant, and couldn't help but say, "What if it can't be done?"
"That's also done." Fang Zilan did not hesitate and decisively said: "The world needs the truth, not the pretentious peace. Is Lord Yang willing to be accused of buying a murderer and assassinating the imperial court's official for nothing?"
"I don't want to!" Yang Zhiqing almost roared. After saying that, he calmed down and whispered: "Master Rong Fang will give me one more day. After I say goodbye to my family, I will surrender myself."
As he said these words, his eyes passed by Fang Zilan and looked behind her.
Fang Zilan turned her head, looked at the old man who was trembling towards the ancestral hall, and finally nodded and said, "Okay."
"This is Lord Fang." The old man stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall and his steps were a little unstable. Yang Zhiqing stood up and walked over quickly, reaching out to hold her, "Mom, be careful."
Fang Zilan stepped forward to see the favor, and the old man held her hand excitedly, "Okay, that's great. Thank you Lord Fang for taking care of this kid in my family. His father passed away early. If he hadn't been willing to endure hardships, he had stayed in the smoky and smoky land in the southeast for many years, and he would not have had the good life he had in the capital now. In the future, if there is anything wrong with him, please bear with me."
The old man said that he wanted to salute. Fang Zilan hurriedly grabbed her arm with his back hand, "Madam is so serious."
"Mr. Fang, how is this kid in the government office doing? Didn't he cause trouble for you?" The old man's eyes were filled with careful expectation. Fang Zilan bent the corner of his lips and smiled, "Mr. Yang has done a good job, and the government office cannot live without him."
"That's good, that's good..." The old man smiled with relief, but the next moment he suddenly coughed.
Seeing this, Yang Zhiqing said anxiously: "My mother has not recovered from her long illness and cannot bear the wind. Please allow me to send her back to her room first."
"You go." Fang Zilan said goodbye: "I have something to do in my house, so I won't keep much."
Yang Zhiqing gave a hurried gift, then helped the old man leave. Fang Zilan looked at their backs and felt a little sour.
When Xiao Xuan'er investigated the public in the government office, she had told her that Yang Zhiqing had been quite regretful in her words.
Yang Zhiqing's father was originally the head of the Ministry of Justice, and his rank was not low, but he died early. When he died in office, Yang Zhiqing was only ten years old. Later, according to the recommendation system of the children of the official family, he became a low-level job.
With nowhere to be carried out, Yang Zhiqing invited him to the southeastern smoky land - a place where all the children of the capital were avoided. He was only eighteen years old at that time.
It took eight years to go there. When he returned to Beijing, he finally entered the Southeast Government Office, but he was always an unknown little chief clerk. Fortunately, he didn't care much, as long as he received a salary to support the family, it would be enough.
He is just a conscientious and ordinary person who takes every step hard, but by chance he is involved in such a storm and he can't even be safe.
Fang Zilan didn't know how she walked back to the house. She suddenly felt that she could no longer passively let Ji Ningtian lead the nose. In the long run, she would only implicate more and more innocent people.
Perhaps in Ji Ningtian's eyes, they were just ants, but in her eyes, they were all living people. When they came to the world, they should not leave without clarity.
"I understand." Fang Zilan responded, and the butler said again: "Young Master Fang is here, are you going to invite him in?"
"Young Master Fang?" Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Young Master Fang Lihui? Please come in."
After a while, the housekeeper led Fang Lihui. Fang Lihui saw Fang Zilan and was about to salute, she stopped him, "Young Master Fang, there is no need for you or me to be polite."
"Since Lord Fang said that, I'm not polite." Fang Lihui sat in the empty seat with a generous look after he said that.
Fang Zilan signaled the butler to leave and asked, "Young Master Fang is here today, I don't know what's going on?"
Fang Lihui coughed lightly, "I am ashamed to say that I am here today for the money this year."
"Tell me, how long will it take for me to be grace this time?" Fang Zilan looked very easy to speak. Fang Lihui pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Is it okay for two years?"
Hearing the words, Awan, who was beside him, was choked by the tea and coughed a few times, "Young Master Fang, are you too much?"
