After being silent for a long time, Fang Yingwu finally let out a long sigh and didn't know what to say for a while. Whether Zuo Changshun died by accident or was killed, he felt guilty.
This is the second time that Fang Yingwu has encountered the problem of dead people since he has been in the court. The last time was when he was in Suzhou Prefecture, where he forced the imperial eunuch Wang Jing to commit suicide in desperation, but Fang Yingwu didn't feel much about this.
Firstly, Wang Jing was the one who poisoned the place and deserved his death, so Fang Yingwu could not feel much sympathy; secondly, Wang Jing was the enemy, and Fang Yingwu was not emotionally rich enough to shed tears for his enemy.
Besides, it was mainly because Wang Jing had such poor psychological quality that he ended his own life. It was not someone else who harmed him, and Fang Yingwu had no sense of guilt. But this time, Zuo Changshun was from his side, and they had just had fun together two days ago.
It was so embarrassing to drink and die so suddenly and inexplicably.
Xiang Chengxian had the same question as Fang Yingwu, "Do you think Mr. Zuo was unlucky by chance, or was he deliberately murdered?" Fang Yingwu replied: "How can it be such a coincidence? I guess man-made is more likely.
Ten out of ten will be killed."
Xiang Da Yushi was hit even harder than Fang Yingwu. He had never thought that someone would be killed before. When Fang Yingwu concluded that he had been killed, he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "This is a life-threatening incident. Do you have a life?"
Are you sure?"
Fang Yingwu sighed again: "This is not something that cannot be guaranteed. In this extraordinary period, we should not hesitate to use the worst speculation to look at everything, and we should not hesitate to predict everything.
We estimate the worst outcome. So no matter how Mr. Zuo is killed, we must treat him as a victim."
Just as Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian were sighing and sighing, Lou Tianhua walked in and reported: "The street hall has sent someone again."
"What to do?" Fang Yingwu became bored when he heard the word "street hall" and asked angrily.
Lou Tianhua smiled bitterly and said: "The man said that since Zuo Changshun, who was on duty, is dead, sir, you still have to go to the street office to report as an errand. So he sent another summons."
Damn it! Fang Yingwu was furious. This is simply inhumane! If you still can't tell whether Zuo Changshun was murdered or not, then you have no right to stand in the court!
Xiang Da Yushi was also speechless. Is this the third time that the subdistrict office has sent a summons to Fang Yingwu? It can be said that he visited the thatched cottage three times.
Could it be that just to create an opportunity to punish Fang Yingwu, he would forcefully deprive him of a life? Moreover, sending a summons like this is tantamount to naked humiliation of him! A wave of anger rushed to his forehead, and Fang Yingwu turned to Lou Tianhua with a fierce voice.
He shouted: "You bastard! People from the street hall dare to bully me and come to my door. I will be tied up and beaten until death!"
Xiang Chengxian quickly stopped him. "A little impatience will mess up the big plan, wait a minute!"
After the impulse passed, Fang Yingwu calmed down again and said through gritted teeth: "Now we should know whether Mr. Zuo's death was an accident or a victim."
After a long while, Fang Yingwu spoke again: "Zuo Changshun is just a small person. It was I who involved this small person in the court situation, and it was precisely this that caused him harm."
Since Fang Yingwu entered the imperial court, no matter how fierce the fight was, he had never intentionally committed murder. In fact, during the wars in the Ming Dynasty, such deliberate means of elimination, especially assassination, were rare, so Fang Yingwu had not done so before.
I never thought of the possibility of human life being involved.
But the sworn enemies may not kill each other, but they dare to assassinate Zuo Changshun. In the final analysis, it is because Zuo Changshun is just a small person. Killing such a small person with no identity is like stepping on an ant. It is not bad.
Rules don't have much negative effect. They won't cause an uproar in public opinion.
When a small person participates in a big fight, it is a big gamble, and he will either make a fortune or be shattered into pieces. Unfortunately, Zuo Changshun lost his life this time. Originally, if he had been protected by Fang Yingwu, he would have had a very good future in the future.
Xiang Chengxian also felt a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and couldn't help but guess: "Tell me, is it Wan An's work?"
"It has nothing to do with him." Fang Yingwu said bitterly, "The chief minister is so disrespectful of human life and does not hesitate to use assassination methods. It is really crazy!"
At this point, for some reason, Xiang Chengxian suddenly sympathized with Wan An and replied: "Even if he is crazy, he is driven crazy by you, which is quite sad."
Xiang Da Yushi thought about it carefully. A chief assistant who stood at the top of the world was being pressed step by step by a young man in his twenties, and he was repeatedly frustrated and disgraced. If he thought about it from his perspective, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
Fang Yingwu glared at Xiang Chengxian dissatisfiedly, "Brother Xiang! Who are you trying to speak for?"
Censor Xiang quickly put away his overflowing sympathy and asked again: "Why do you think they wanted to harm Mr. Zuo?"
Fang Yingwu's eyes returned to the summons, and then he crumpled it into a ball, "Isn't it obvious? They put so much effort into designing such a chain, how could they just accept failure so easily? It's also a threat, but of course it's not a threat to me.
Instead, he shows his fangs to intimidate others."
"At this point, it's the end of the road." Xiang Chengxian commented.
What Fang Yingwu had to do was to find out the truth first, but the news Xiang Chengxian heard had no details and provided little use value. After thinking about it, Fang Yingwu had no choice but to ask Dongchang for help.
The matter was most suitable for Dongchang to handle. So Fang Yingwu sent a message to Madam He and agreed to meet with Wang Zhi the next day.
But when Fang Yingwu saw Wang Zhi, he heard her sigh quietly: "You and I haven't seen each other for sixteen days."
Fang Yingwu wiped his sweat and said: "You know all this? By the way, when did your memory get so good? The wedding is approaching recently, and there are a lot of trivial matters that I can't get rid of. You have to be understanding." In fact, there is another person.
The reason was that Fang Yingwu was afraid that Wang Zhi would try to win over Concubine Wan Gui again, which would be difficult, so he simply cut down on meeting her.
Wang Zhi curled her lips, and Pi Liyangqiu said with a hint of sourness: "You are really capable. You even settled the rumors without relying on me or asking Dongchang for help. But I am impressed. Even Wan Niangniang
Unexpected”
Seeing that Wang Zhi mentioned Concubine Wan Gui, Fang Yingwu quickly interrupted the conversation and interrupted: "Actually, I still can't live without you. I will ask you for help this time!"
Wang Zhi snorted coldly and complained dissatisfiedly: "You are also a scholar, how can you be so shameless? Do you really think that this eunuch is a coolie in vain!"
Fang Yingwu sighed, frowned and said, "You are so arrogant and pretend to be generous even if I don't ask you for help; when I ask you for help, you are so arrogant and bargaining, and you are so difficult to serve!"
With Eunuch Wang's little temper, he was the most unprovoked among the thirty-six strategies. He immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted softly: "What bad thing do you have? Tell me slowly. You are not allowed to leave tonight. I will let you say enough."
