Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1413 Greed

"Fang Zilan, you can't even protect yourself now." Zhuge Yu lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress the anger in it, "What's more, according to Fu Congnan, the Dugu family is not innocent, and they are even involved in it. You..."

He didn't say anything else. Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said, "I know."

"You know everything, but you still want to get involved in this muddy water in the southeast." Zhuge Yu clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, "You know everything, but you still want to help Dugu Ming ask Fu Congnan for the answer?"

This time it was Fang Zilan's turn to remain silent, but Zhuge Yu had no intention of letting her go. "What if Fu Congnan refuses to divorce and drags the Dugu family into this?"

Fang Zilan said coldly: "The chaos in the western border is imminent."

Zhuge Yu continued to ask: "If Fu Congnan divorces, the Dugu family escapes unscathed, and his daughter enters the capital and enters the palace, what will happen?"

Fang Zilan opened her mouth for a while before she said, "The closer the Dugu family is to the center of power, the more loyal they will be."

"Have you ever thought about how the Empress in the palace will cope with the situation?" Zhuge Yu almost questioned. Fang Zilan lowered her head and said, "The imperial decree has been issued. The Empress will be fine in the short term..."

"Even if His Majesty admits the false imperial edict, it is nothing more than a pit of fire." Zhuge Yu interrupted Fang Zilan, "Are you willing to risk everyone's lives for your own good?"

"I didn't." Fang Zilan retorted subconsciously, but found that she lacked the confidence at all.

Zhuge Yu was right. She falsely conveyed the imperial edict in the name of Fang Ziqin, which would sooner or later push her into the fire pit.

Seeing Fang Zilan shut up as if she was in the wrong, Zhuge Yu also regretted it. He knew that the muddy water in the southeast was far more unfathomable than it looked, and only by not caring about life and death could he find a way out.

But it was not until this moment that he finally saw the fear in his heart. He could ignore his own life or death, but if the lives of all the Zhuge family were at stake, could he also ignore it?

  Fu Congnan's few words before him were all about the rich and powerful, and every word was evidence of guilt. If all the noble families in the world were like this, how could the Zhuge family be immune?

If Fang Zilan keeps investigating like this, she will eventually find the Zhuge family. Maybe she has already found out, but she just hasn't revealed it due to insufficient evidence or some other reason.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but say, "Sorry, I'm being rude."

"It's my fault." Fang Zilan turned her head away. "If it weren't for me, you would have returned to the capital long ago and wouldn't have been involved at all."

"That's not what I meant..." Zhuge Yu hurriedly opened his mouth, trying to explain, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "Ayu, I am sorry for you. But things have come to this point, if I can't get to the bottom of it, I will not let it go."

"You..." Zhuge Yu shook his head, "You are really hopeless."

Hopeless? Fang Zilan thought to herself. Awan had said the same thing about her before. As long as she could save more people, what did it matter if she was hopeless?

As if he had guessed what Fang Zilan was thinking, Zhuge Yu suddenly said, "If you want to see Fu Congnan, I'll go with you." "Ah Yu..." Fang Zilan was about to refuse, but was blocked by Zhuge Yu, "Since you say you're sorry to me, you should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Fang Zilan was like a fish jumping out of the water, feeling suffocated by everything around her. She hugged the railing tightly and gasped for air, as if this was the only way she could hold on.

"So, just now in the hall, you asked me to make the three pieces of information about the transaction public, so that everyone who dies tonight will know clearly?" Fang Zilan gnashed her teeth and said angrily: "Including Fang Lihui, including me..."

"Miss Fang, in the hearts of the world, you are already a dead person. The person here tonight is the Zhen family of Qianjinfang. With your ability, you can escape again." Yin Quanzhang interrupted Fang Zilan quietly, "As for Fang Lihui, He knows what he is doing, and if he dies, he will protect the whole family."

"Don't be so self-righteous." Fang Zilan said with a stern expression, "What you think is a success is actually just for your own peace of mind. Tonight, you tricked the adults in the southern officialdom to come here, but have you ever asked them a question? Are they like you? Are you willing to die?"

"Although they don't know the real purpose of gathering here tonight, they are all here for the three pieces of news about you, Miss Fang." Yin Quanzhang said persistently: "I don't care whether Qianjinfang is used by Ji Ningtian, or whether you are. It’s not the Qianjinfang Zhen family, I just hope they die and understand, don’t..."

"What don't you want?" Fang Zilan suddenly stopped Yin Quanzhang's last words, "How can you have the final say whether they live or die?"

"Miss Fang, they are not innocent." Yin Quanzhang's voice became darker, and Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "So what? According to you, no one in the court is innocent. Do they all deserve to die?"

Yin Quanzhang took a deep breath, "Miss Fang, even if you are not clear, people are still divided into three, six, and nine grades. You said that King Rongan was my master, but today I can tell you that this is not the case."

He paused and said, "All officials, big and small, in the southern officialdom have their own backers, but most of them are not King Rongan. All he can do is balance all parties and maintain stability."

"You mean, it's not that Ji Ningtian wants to form an alliance with King Rong'an, but..." Fang Zilan suddenly realized, "King Rong'an also needs Ji Ningtian's help."

"Miss Fang, that's all I've said. With your intelligence, you can always get a rough idea of ​​the whole situation." Yin Quanzhang sighed, "For the sake of getting to know each other, I would like to give you one final advice: turn around and be safe. You now There’s still time to go.”

"Is there enough time?" Fang Zilan looked at Yin Quanzhang steadily and said coldly: "Master Yin, do you have anything to say?"

Yin Quanzhang's expression froze, and Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Thank you for complimenting me on my intelligence. Of course I can't live up to it. Are you dragging me here to talk just to buy time for the people in the Jiangnan camp?"

As she spoke, her voice became more and more fierce, "Let me ask you, after tonight, what will happen to General Zhou Lang in the Southeast Camp?"

"If you move without the talisman, you will die." Yin Quanzhang answered quickly. Fang Zilan suddenly got angry and grabbed his neck. "This is your real purpose. Not only to cover up the mistakes of the people behind you, but also to put Zhou Lang to death. From now on, you can play with the Southeast Camp as you did with the Jiangnan Camp."

"Zhou Lang... doesn't know how to adapt to the current situation..." Yin Quanzhang uttered these words with difficulty, "He will definitely die..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan saw torches lit up downstairs. Her hands loosened a little and her brows furrowed. "What are you going to do?"
