Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1450 Excuses
"Qian Wenxiang took away a corpse." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and glanced at everyone. "If anyone among you knows his whereabouts, tell us and you can spare your life."

"Whatever you say is what it is..." Someone shouted in dissatisfaction, but before he could finish his words, he was killed by Fang Zilan's sword.

"Everyone in the martial arts world knows that I have a bad temper and even worse patience." Fang Zilan waved the plum sword casually, "If there are those who are not afraid of death, just say another word of nonsense and try it."

"You... are Zixiu?" Someone recognized the plum sword in Fang Zilan's hand and said it bravely, and she nodded nonchalantly, "You have good eyesight."

All they could hear was the sound of people sucking in their breath. They had never expected that they would provoke Zixiu, the God of Death. Now no one would be able to walk out alive.

"Qian Wenxiang has escaped, the leader is dead, and you who risked your lives are determined to leave them here?" Fang Zilan curled her lips as if smiling. Everyone's face turned pale and they dared not even breathe.

"It seems so." Fang Zilan snorted coldly. Before she could make a move, she heard someone shout, "Wait a minute."

Fang Zilan put the sword behind her back and said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you know."

The people on both sides automatically made way for the person who was speaking. He raised his head tremblingly, looked at Fang Zilan and said, "Two days ago, some bailiffs went up the mountain and carried away... a coffin..."

"Yaman?" Fang Zilan said thoughtfully, "Which place or government is this man? How do you know it's not someone pretending to be him?"

"Why do you need to pretend to be a bailiff under Lord Qian?" The person who spoke looked confused. "This is not the first time..."

Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and then she heard Hongtai say, "You are the bandit from Mangshan, right? I have seen you before."

"You've got the wrong person..." The person who spoke hurriedly denied it, but the moment he saw Hongtai's face clearly, his voice stopped abruptly.

Hongtai chuckled and said casually, "Do you recognize me?" The murderous intent hidden in his tone was an obvious warning.

The person who was speaking shook his head like a rattle, "I don't recognize you, I don't recognize you..."

"Let's get down to business." Fang Zilan coughed, and the person who was speaking immediately spoke like beans, "Lord Qian and our Mangshan leader are old friends, and his servants often go up the mountain to pass on messages for Lord Qian. If it weren't for Feiling Mountain..."

He paused as he spoke, and glanced at Hong Tai secretly, "Feilingshan is the only dominant family, and they are used to being overbearing. But the wicked will be punished by God. The imperial court suppressed the bandits a while ago..."

"Why did Qian Wenxiang go up the mountain?" Fang Zilan interrupted the person who was speaking impatiently. He was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "Maybe he wanted to vent his anger. The soldiers arrested a lot of bandits in Feiling Mountain and handed them over to Lord Qian for disposal."

"Why would you bring a corpse with you to vent your anger?" Fang Zilan's eyes flashed with suspicion, and the person who spoke lowered his voice, "The corpse was brought to the mountain by someone..."

"Who sent it and when?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder, and the person who spoke tremblingly said, "How should I know? I only know that about two days ago, someone brought it to the mountain, and Lord Qian got very angry at that time, and then the yamen runners went up the mountain and carried it away."

Xiao Xuan'er came in gracefully and said with a bow, "General Zheng and I just arrived. However, we heard that the old lady was seriously ill, so we couldn't come in to disturb her. So we followed Lord Fang's instructions and asked the housekeeper for the account book to look at." "How do you see it?" Fang Zilan hadn't finished speaking when Ah Shi ran in, "Sister Xiao, wait for me."

"Ashi, why did you follow me?" Fang Zilan frowned. When Ashi saw her, he was stunned at first, then lowered his head and called "Master Fang" obediently.

"I took the initiative to bring Ah Shi here." Xiao Xuan'er explained: "Ah Shi is better than me at looking at the account books."

Fang Zilan stopped pursuing the matter after hearing this, and said calmly, "Let's talk business."

Ah Shi mustered up his courage and said, "As Lord Fang expected, the elders of the Yang family have already secretly transferred all the land and houses under Lord Yang's name to Lord Yang's brother..."

He didn't say anything else. Fang Zilan understood, "Just tell me how bad Madam Yang's situation is."

"Mrs. Yang's dowry was not much to begin with, and a few days ago, the Yang family took away a lot of it because of the memorial archway. If she doesn't follow the Yang family's advice and keep her chastity, she will have to leave the house with nothing." Ah Shi's voice got smaller and smaller. "And according to Sister Xiao, as a widow, it would be against the law for Mrs. Yang to leave the Yang family..."

"That's enough." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "It's okay for a child to understand the ways of the world, but don't be too pessimistic."

Ah Shi nodded sullenly. Fang Zilan looked at Xiao Xuan'er, "I asked you to ask about Fang Lihui. How did you do?"

"Master Fang said that it would not be difficult to help Madam Yang and her son leave the city, and it would not be difficult to find a place for them to settle down and make a living in the future..." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished her words, Fang Zilan said bluntly, "What does Fang Lihui want? Can you give him another year to pay the promised money?"

"No." Xiao Xuan'er waved her hand, "Mr. Fang wants Ah Shi."

"What?" Fang Zilan glanced at Ah Shi, who was also shocked. "Master Fang, I..."

"Don't be afraid. I won't hand you over to anyone else." Fang Zilan comforted Ah Shi and then asked Xiao Xuan'er, "What does Fang Lihui want Ah Shi to do?"

"Earlier, Pei exposed the Fang family for smuggling. Master Fang lost his left and right arms, and has been looking for new people to take over recently." Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips, "I don't know where Master Fang got to know Ah Shi, so he wanted to find a chance to take him over."

"It seems this isn't the first time." Fang Zilan looked at Xiao Xuan'er steadily and nodded slightly. "Yes, I saw that Lord Fang was very busy and thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't report it."

Fang Zilan pondered for a moment. If she let Ah Shi follow Fang Lihui, it wouldn't be a bad thing. But firstly, she didn't know what Ah Shi was thinking. Secondly, if she agreed to Fang Lihui easily, she might have to ask for people and things in the future. After all, in terms of doing business, she couldn't get any benefit from Fang Lihui.

"Master Fang..." Ah Shi's voice suddenly sounded, revealing an indescribable pity, "I don't want to follow Master Fang, I only want to follow you."

"You can't follow me forever." Fang Zilan sighed, "But since you don't want to, I won't hand you over to Fang Lihui. Miss Xiao, please tell Fang Lihui that I want to send Madam Yang and her son away within three days. If he doesn't help, don't blame me for being ruthless and coming to collect the debt directly."

Xiao Xuan'er agreed, thinking that Fang Zilan was not as good as Fang Lihui in business, but when it came to being a boss, no one could be better than Fang Zilan, not to mention that the Fang family still owed her a large sum of money.
