Chapter 96 Negotiation
Lu Tang stared blankly at the woman sitting down. She didn't have any aggressive aura, but she was so calm that no one dared to look down upon her. She was like a sharp blade cutting iron like mud. Even if it was just placed there, it was a cold light that shocked her.
"Since Mr. Lu Tang doesn't say anything, I will treat it as your consent." Fang Zilan sat up with a smile on her lips, "Let's treat this game as a draw. Whoever wins and loses will see you in the next game.
Let’s find out.”
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave with Awan.
Lu Tang suddenly spoke, "If I agreed, Master Fang would not have to go through this journey today."
"So, Lord Lu Tang doesn't agree?" Fang Zilan stopped and stood at the table with an indifferent expression, "If a woman dies, Lord Lu Tang can sit back and relax. This is not a bad deal."
"It's just a woman?" There was a hint of sadness in Lu Tang's eyes, "If it takes the life of the little girl next to Mr. Fang today so that Mr. Fang can walk out of this room safely, will Mr. Fang be willing?"
"Master Lu Tang, the attendant you are guarding outside is indeed a master, but he is just one person." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and smiled contemptuously, "You can give it a try. If I hurt Awan today,
Even with one finger, I lose."
"Master Fang is very skilled, and he will not take action rashly." Lu Tang sighed faintly, "I just want to tell Master Fang that you have people you want to protect, and I am no exception."
Fang Zilan calmly stood upright while holding on to the table. A Wan had already seen from the side that she was holding on, but she didn't dare to step forward at this time for fear of exposing their weakness.
Fang Zilan sighed softly, "I dare to ask Mr. Lu Tang, do you like Huo Sanniang and want to protect her, or do you feel guilty and want to make up for her?"
A hint of bitterness flashed across Lu Tang's face, "They have already reported to me what Mr. Fang said at the wonton stall just now. Mr. Fang is a man of murder and heart-wrenching. He is really unlucky."
"People are selfish. Lord Lu Tang gave up Huo Sanniang for fame and power. Now it's not a big deal to give up again." Fang Zilan said lightly.
Lu Tang suddenly grabbed the corner of the table, his veins showing great determination, "I will never leave Sanniang alone again. Master Fang needs connections and money to build the Northern Protectorate. Although
As for me, Lu Tang, I will never say no even if my liver and brain are shattered to pieces. As for this matter, Shangguan Pi is the mastermind behind it. I will submit both the personal and physical evidence to the magistrate's government. I only ask Mr. Fang
Let Sanniang go."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan took a deep breath to stand firm, and then said: "Okay, it's not difficult for you to ask me to let Huo Sanniang go. You just need to promise me three things."
"First, you have prepared all the witnesses and material evidence in this case, and I will take them to the Zhizhou Mansion today and hand them over to Lord Zhong Yao; secondly, you are making empty claims about the construction of the Northern Protectorate, so you must give me a
Only the written evidence counts, and as for the signature, it will be stamped with the official seal of your uncle Yanzhou Inspector, so that I can hand over official business to him in the future; and the third one..."
She paused for a moment before speaking slowly, "Huo Sanniang will have to pay the price for doing something wrong. I want all the legal businesses under her name, including Jinxi Tower."
Lu Tang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded dejectedly and said a good word.
"Actually, Mr. Lu Tang didn't have to go to such a level. If he was so desperate, it would be too late if he regretted it in the future." Fang Zilan sat back down, her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, her back already soaked with sweat.
Wet.
"This is what I owe Sanniang, and I have to pay it back eventually." Lu Tang leaned on the edge of the desk, as if he had aged a lot, "If it weren't for me, Sanniang's sister would not have committed suicide after giving birth to Linglan. Linglan
Lan wouldn't be used like this by Shangguan Pi, and Sanniang wouldn't have to be in public for many years and suffer the cynicism of Yanzhou people. Now you take over Sanniang's business, at least it will be for your sake when you are acquitted.
, Lord Zhong Yao doesn’t dare to embarrass himself.”
"It seems that I misjudged Mr. Lu Tang. This word of love is really well deserved." Fang Zilan sighed, but there was an indescribable coldness in his expression.
Lu Tang asked the boy beside him to get pen and ink, but for a moment he didn't notice the change in Fang Zilan's expression.
When he looked at her, Fang Zilan still looked as calm as water.
The receipt was quickly written, and Lu Tang looked up at Fang Zilan, "I can't get the official seal of Inspector Yanzhou, only a private seal. But Lord Fang, don't worry, my uncle will recognize this seal."
"
Fang Zilan took the receipt that Lu Tang handed her, "Master Lu Tang, aren't you afraid that I will use this receipt to ask your uncle to do something excessive?"
Lu Tang shook his head, "Master Fang is joking. I wrote this note. It says that if the imperial court builds the Northern Protectorate if necessary, the entire Lu family will fight to the death. It has nothing to do with Master Fang."
"Lord Lu Tang is really scheming at this time." Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "But I am not at a loss. I will take away the witnesses and physical evidence. Lord Lu Tang is waiting for Huo Sanniang to come back.
Good news."
"That's it, Sir Lao Fang." Lu Tang bowed his hands.
Fang Zilan waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, then collected the documents, took the physical evidence, and left with Awan, the accountant from the house, the broker, and other witnesses.
When the group of people walked to the door, the man guarding the door looked at them and respectfully asked them to leave.
After Awan walked for a while, the man who still looked back to guard the door from time to time, tugged on Fang Zilan's sleeve while watching, "Which one is more powerful, him or you?"
Fang Zilan raised her lips in a funny way, "What do you think?"
Awan curled her lips and said, "I've seen what you're capable of, so there's no need to say more. But when I just walked in, you kept pulling me, which shows that you were wary, so I..."
"Don't worry, I'm the most powerful person in the world next to you." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan's chatter with a smile, "As long as I'm here, no matter how powerful the person is, they can't hurt you at all."
"Okay." Awan was like a deflated rubber ball, "You are so boring. There are so many people in the world, but no one can beat you?"
"I don't think so." Fang Zilan smiled a bit bitterly, "After all, that Gu is unique in the world."
Seeing that Fang Zilan's expression was not good, Awan hurriedly supported her body and changed the subject, "Okay, I won't say much else. Let's go to the Zhizhou Mansion to deal with this matter. I also want to go back to the Mansion to rest for a while.
Well. I haven't had a full night's sleep since I came back from the army with you. Now I'm tired and sleepy. I'm trying to keep myself together, just because I'm afraid I'll fall over."
"Who says it's not the case? You have really worked hard these past two days." Fang Zilan's face was pale and her palms were soaked with cold sweat. She held Awan's hand and whispered in her ear: "Awan, the poison under Shangguan's eyes is
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a while."
After the negotiation is over, can Huo Sanniang return safely? Let’s see the breakdown next time
