Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1224 Evidence of crime

Fang Zilan was the first to speak: "I killed the Hong brothers and sisters when they were unprepared. I threw all the bodies into the mountain col. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to look for them."

She lied without changing her face. Li Shengxuan's expression was dark and unclear, as if he was considering how credible her words were. After a while, he asked, "Where did Zhou Lang go?"

"I heard from Hong He that after they discovered that Zhou Lang led his troops up the mountain, they hid." Fang Zilan said accurately: "Zhou Lang led his troops to search but failed, so he only left a small number of soldiers on the mountain to wait. As for himself, I guess they may have led troops to encircle and suppress other strongholds.”

Her words were all based on speculations based on the situation along the way up the mountain. The corpses of bandits and bandits scattered everywhere, as well as the corpses of soldiers scattered everywhere, could indicate that they had fought against each other, but the scale was not large.

It seems that the bandits took advantage of the terrain and killed the soldiers Zhou Lang left on Feiling Mountain one by one. However, the soldiers in the Southeast Camp were trained by Zhou Lang and were not as stupid as those in the Jiangnan Camp. Therefore, the two sides fought to the death and no one gained anything.

It is always easy to make assumptions based on facts. Fang Zilan can guess at least 70%, and Li Shengxuan can certainly do the same. He was speechless for a long time, but the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger, as if a dark cloud shrouded him and never dissipated.

"Whether your Majesty believes it or not, this is the truth." Fang Zilan said in an understatement, but Li Shengxuan's expression turned cold, "What about the second master of Fei Lingshan who led his troops to the Jiangnan camp?"

Fang Zilan's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, her face remained calm, "Does Your Majesty think that the second boss left because of me?"

Li Shengxuan looked down at Fang Zilan and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it?" His voice was low and deep, revealing an indescribable sense of oppression.

Fang Zilan stood up, waved her sleeves and said, "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, everything I say will be useless."

"Fang Zilan, who are you?" Li Shengxuan stepped forward and asked almost forcefully: "Why are there countless people protecting you and countless people wanting your life?"

Fang Zilan's eyes turned red, but she said nothing. How should she tell Li Shengxuan that the original owner of her body was the daughter of the former general Zhenbei, King Pingnan, and his wife Qin Ji? How to tell Li Shengxuan that she is a person who does not belong to this world at all?

"You..." Li Shengxuan saw Fang Zilan's eyes filled with tears and couldn't help but feel soft. He was about to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he heard the sound of swords fighting behind him.

Soon enough, a short knife came straight towards Li Shengxuan's vest. He saw Fang Zilan's expression change and she exclaimed "Be careful", and then he was pushed hard by her and changed direction with her.

The moment the short knife pierced Fang Zilan's body, she looked at Li Shengxuan intently, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and her lips curved in a small arc, but she said reluctantly, "It's okay..."

"Fang Zilan!" Li Shengxuan held Fang Zilan's waist with one hand, drew his sword with the other hand and went straight towards the owner of the dagger, Meile, with a fast and fierce sword, killing her in an instant.

Mei Le's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Even Fang Zilan was shocked. She knew that Li Shengxuan was an expert in the military, and his martial arts skills were personally taught by Xia Hou Yunzhao, but she never thought that his skills would be so good.

Clean and neat, no less than the Ten Palaces of Hell of the Ghost Sect. Even worse.

However, the fatal wound on her back did not give Fang Zilan much time to think. She leaned in Li Shengxuan's arms, clutching his shirt tightly, and couldn't help but moan, "Well, it hurts..." Fang Zilan restrained herself. With a look on his face, he walked to Ouyang Zirou and saluted: "Your Majesty, when Miss Ouyang improved the crossbow, although I was not fully involved, I can still see her talent and intention. If the arsenal workshop handed her over With the capital in hand, I can look forward to it. As a general who protects the country, I can rest assured."

"The Duke of Yue said this..." As soon as Li Shengxuan started to speak, he was interrupted by the imperial censor who had just given his advice, "Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, the imperial censor fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed hard, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the armament of the capital and must not be trivial..."

"Child's play?" Li Shengxuan stopped him and snorted coldly: "Sun Yushi, don't think that just because you are young, you can rely on your old age in front of me. If you are so stubborn and unclear, I will allow you to You immediately resign as censor and return to your hometown to retire."

Sun Yushi was stunned for a moment. Su Yun next to him seemed to have finally come to his senses and walked out quickly, "Your Majesty, Sun Yushi is old and it is common for him to have low energy. He..."

Su Yun was halfway through his plea when he saw Li Shengxuan raised his hand and said: "For the sake of Sun Yushi and the Yushitai people who have worked hard for many years, I will give you a face and give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the dynasty, so that Ouyang The young lady will take over the arsenal with all due authority."

Su Yun frowned slightly, "Your Majesty means..."

"I have just said that the generals have the most say in matters of armaments. Since only the Duke of Yue's statement is not enough to convince the public, then let all the aristocratic families guarding the four realms come to express their views." Li Shengxuan said without anger: "Baiyue As long as more than half of Xiahou, the southeastern camp, Dugu in the west, Huangfu in the north, and the Duke of Yue and the Wei family in Beijing agree, Ouyang Zirou can take over the military workshop, otherwise he will never be allowed to serve as an official in the court. "

Fang Zilan reacted suddenly. No wonder Li Shengxuan said before that it was the best time to help Ouyang Zirou. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

She can definitely help Ouyang Zirou get Zhou Lang's approval vote from the Southeast Camp. General Baiyue Xiahou's approval vote, as long as Li Shengxuan speaks, there will definitely be no problem. Including her vote, there are already three votes.

The Wei family just wanted to see what Wei Subaru wanted, so the vote might be in doubt. But that old fox in the north, Huangfulin, may not be willing to take a stand, so he is most likely to abandon his vote. In other words, the Dugu family's approval vote must be won.

Fang Zilan kept calculating the votes in her mind until the end of the court. She was a little distracted and even Ouyang Zirou didn't respond when she called her.

"Master Fang!" Ouyang Zirou tugged on Fang Zilan's sleeve. Only then did she notice the person next to her, "Zirou, what's wrong?"

"I'm...a little worried..." Ouyang Zirou said, "Although Mr. Fang is here to help,..."

She let out a long sigh and changed her voice, "With my mother's attitude, let alone asking Mr. Wei to help me, I would be satisfied without asking Mr. Wei to object. As for the rest..."

She didn't say any more and was silent for a while. Then she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Master Fang, do you think I will never be able to serve as an official in the court?"

"Do your best to obey fate." There was no expression on Fang Zilan's face. "As long as there is an opportunity, you must fight for it."
