Chapter 750 Past

"This must be Mr. Fang." The old man stepped across the threshold of the ancestral hall, his steps a little unsteady. Yang Zhiqing stood up and walked over quickly, reaching out to support her, "Mom, please be careful."

Fang Zilan came forward to meet Li, and the old man held her hand excitedly, "Okay, that's great. Thank you Mr. Fang for taking care of this boy of mine. His father passed away early. If he hadn't been willing to endure hardship, he would have been living in the misty land in the southeast."

I have been here for many years, but I am not as happy as I am now in the capital. I will have to pay more attention to you in the future. If I do anything wrong, please bear with me."

The old man was about to salute as he spoke, but Fang Zilan quickly grabbed her arm with his backhand, "Madam, you are serious."

"Mr. Fang, how is my boy doing in the government office? Didn't he cause any trouble to you?" The old man's eyes were full of cautious expectations. Fang Zilan curled up the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang did a great job, the government office did a great job."

Everyone in the government can't live without him."

"That's good, that's good..." The old man smiled with relief, but the next moment he coughed violently.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiqing said anxiously: "Master Fang, my mother has not recovered from a long-term 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 at home, so I won't stay any longer."

Yang Zhiqing bowed hastily, and then helped the old man leave. Fang Zilan looked at their backs, feeling a little sour in her heart.

"Fang Zilan, after today, except for your government affairs, please don't interfere with anything else." Li Shengxuan suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never interfere with Mo Han's implementation of the new law."

She paused as she spoke, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, "However, if someone is blind and intends to harm Mo Han, I will not sit idly by and ignore it."

"Master Fang, you..." Zhuge Yu flicked his sleeves and did not continue.

Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadily, "As long as I'm here, you don't need to worry about Mo Han's safety. Just take care of the government affairs. Di Rong's Ministry will send envoys to Beijing next month, and King Rong'an will also bring them.

When the princess comes to Beijing, there must be no mistakes inside or outside the government office."

Fang Zilan looked stern. Di Rong's tribe paid tribute every year and sent envoys to the capital every April. This was not unusual. But why did King Rongan come to the capital? He brought the princess...

Seemingly seeing through the doubts in her mind, Zhuge Yu explained: "Princess Rongan has reached the age of marriage, and the Empress Dowager had promised Prince Rongan to come to Beijing to choose a son-in-law years ago. Although the situation in Beijing has changed dramatically in just a few months,

But the marriage of a clan daughter should not be taken lightly."

"I see." Fang Zilan muttered in a low voice. The government office was in charge of southeastern affairs. Apart from officials, big and small, the one who had the most dealings with him was King Rongan.

Since the Mushan Pass Rebellion and the epidemic, King Rong'an has kept a lot of integrity, and he has been courteous and courteous when dealing with government officials, hiding his cold and cruel heart and secret dirty methods very well.

As for the ghost gate, it seems that there is no contact with King Rong'an anymore. However, Fang Zilan's heart is like a mirror, Ji Ningtian just didn't let her find out. After all, how could he give up such a powerful chess piece as King Rong'an so easily?

Li Shengxuan saw Fang Zilan thinking deeply and said softly: "Since you know what's going on, I'm relieved."

Did she know what she was thinking? Fang Zilan couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. The last time she met King Rongan, she said that it was either you or me who would die in the future. She never thought that less than two years later, they would meet again.

There was a turbulent undercurrent in the capital. Neither she nor King Rongan dared to attack each other in the capital. They just greeted each other with smiles on the surface, but secretly they had their own agendas. It would be best if they could live in peace with each other.

However, if Ji Ningtian learns that King Rongan has come to Beijing, he will take action...

When Xiao Xuan'er was investigating the people in the government office before, she had spoken to her about Yang Zhiqing, and her words were quite regretful.

Yang Zhiqing's father was originally the chief of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was of high rank. However, he died early. When he died in office, Yang Zhiqing was only ten years old. Later, he worked in a lowly idle position according to the recommendation system of officials' children.

With nowhere to put his ambitions to use, Yang Zhiqing invited himself to the misty southeastern region - a place that all the children of the capital avoided. At that time, he was only eighteen years old.

He had been away for eight years. When he returned to Beijing, he finally joined the Southeast Government Office, but he was still a little-known clerk. Fortunately, he didn't care much, as long as he received a salary to support his family, it was enough.

.

He is just an ordinary person who works hard and works hard every step of the way. However, due to fate, he gets involved in such a turmoil, and in the end he cannot even survive on his own.

Fang Zilan didn't know how she walked back home. She suddenly felt that she could no longer be so passive and let Ji Ningtian lead her away. In the long run, more and more innocent people would be implicated.

Maybe in Ji Ningtian's eyes, they are nothing more than ants, but in her eyes, they are all living people. They have come to this world and should not leave without knowing anything.

After she made up her mind, she found Xiao Xuan'er and told her, "All information related to the Ghost Sect should be given to the Zhuge family."

"What?" Xiao Xuan'er's face was full of shock, "Mr. Fang, although I told you before that Mr. Zhuge suddenly investigated the affairs of the previous dynasty, he has not yet investigated the ghost gate. You..."

"Since I can't find it, then I will help him, why not?" Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly and she said coolly: "I'm afraid that Zixiu's identity will be known. Isn't Ji Ningtian afraid that he is the master of the ghost sect?

Is the identity known?

"Master Fang, if the Gui Sect and your identity are known to Mr. Zhuge..." Xiao Xuan'er frowned, "He is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, how can he tolerate it?"

Although she had been living in confusion these past few days, she still took Xiao Xuan'er's words to some extent. She knew that it was widely spread in the capital that Yang Zhiqing had not been promoted for many years, and because he was jealous of Wu Sheng being transferred to the Criminal Department, he paid for the murder. Later, because of

The clues in the letter were exposed. In order not to drag down the whole family, he committed suicide in front of Yin's house in Jingzhao in fear of crime.

After the incident spread, everyone in the capital reviled Yang Zhiqing. Every day in front of his house, people shouted and threw stones, disturbing the whole family.

It seems that everyone has lost their memory. No one remembers that Yang Zhiqing was a parent officer who had guarded the smog-infested southeast for eight years. He also received a Ten Thousand People Umbrella when he left office.

They only remembered that Yang Zhiqing was jealous of murderers, cruel and petty, and was not worthy of being an official at all.

As for Wu Sheng, he became the most innocent victim and was beautified infinitely. He was a disciple of Mr. Su Heng, so talented and well-mannered... Everyone who knew him or not knew him was full of praise and regret, as if he was a young man.

Losing him would be a huge loss to the imperial court.

When a person dies, he can only be guided by others. Can't he even keep his name after death?
