Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1453 Violation
The person sent by Jingzhao Yinfu to Pei's family came back soon. Xu Youtong looked at Fang Zilan who was sitting beside him drinking tea leisurely, and felt an indescribable sense of oppression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang..."

"Master Xu, don't worry about me." Fang Zilan casually placed the teacup on the table and said lightly, "This is not the first time I have listened to Master Xu's interrogation. I won't cause any trouble."

Hearing this, Xu Youtong could not say anything more, so he ordered people to bring all the people brought up directly. The case was not complicated, and all the people confessed, so it was not difficult to judge the case.

However, after Fang Zilan heard this, she casually said, "Someone from the Pei family kidnapped a girl from my house before. What was the sentence given to the mastermind?"

"Exile." Xu Youtong added. Fang Zilan nodded slightly. "I remember now. I heard that the mastermind died on the way to exile. What a pity."

She spoke about the matter of life and death in a very calm tone, "Speaking of which, who among you is the mastermind?" As she spoke, her eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground one by one. They shook their heads desperately and no one dared to admit it.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "If that's the case, then we can only treat them equally. Lord Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Youtong was about to say something wrong when Fang Zilan continued to talk to herself, "Today has already wasted too much time. I am impatient, so let's stop here."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Master Xu, these people are all sentenced to exile, and their families are also guilty. Did you hear that clearly?"

"Master Fang, wait a minute." Xu Youtong stood in front of Fang Zilan, "Don't let the disaster affect my family, they..."

"Even the mastermind refuses to confess, how do you know their family members are innocent?" Fang Zilan raised her hand and said, "Master Xu, you are blocking my way."

Xu Youtong's expression sternly said, "Master Fang, even if it means risking offending you, there are some things I have to say."

"Master Xu, do you think you can snatch that person from me?" Fang Zilan smiled even more. "The man sentenced to exile died on the road. I haven't asked Master Xu to hold him accountable yet, right?"

"Master Fang, you..." Xu Youtong's eyes flashed with horror, and Fang Zilan smiled cruelly, "I never like people to escape guilt by dying."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed Xu Youtong away. "Death has always been the simplest and most cowardly thing. Living is the most difficult. Especially for those who are guilty, living is far more painful than dying."

"But..." Xu Youtong wanted to argue, but Fang Zilan stopped smiling and said, "But since Lord Xu has spoken, I will still give you face. But please don't regret it."

Regret? Xu Youtong was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what Fang Zilan meant, he saw her telling Zheng Yan something and then sitting in his seat, replacing him. "Now, let me take over."

"I..." Wu Sheng was speechless. Fang Zilan sighed heavily. "Do you think the various ministries and departments don't want to solve the problem? A problem often requires the cooperation of various ministries and departments, and none of them can be missing. Do you think you can solve it by saying a few high-sounding words? Your Majesty's golden words still rely on the court to perform their duties in order to govern the world, let alone you, an ignorant new official? If everyone is like you, it's really..."

Before she finished speaking, she began to cough violently due to unstable breathing. A Wan quickly patted her on the back and said, "Master Fang, please don't get angry."

Fang Zilan paused for a moment before saying, "Master Wu, who is your master? Tell me so that I can inform the Ministry of Personnel in advance, so that I won't be angered to death in the government office in the future."

"Master Fang, I know I was wrong." Wu Sheng bowed solemnly and whispered, "I was originally a student of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is really insulting to speak out now." Fang Zilan was so angry that she laughed, "Master Wu, you should know when to stop talking nonsense. The Prime Minister is such a great man, how could he have a student like you?"

Wu Sheng lowered his head even lower, "I dare not deceive Lord Fang. I am indeed a student in the Prime Minister's Residence, but my teacher is not the Prime Minister."

Fang Zilan thought to herself that it was all nonsense. Fang Chongzheng must have taught a vixen with a wicked mind. If he could teach a fool like him, she would write the word Fang backwards.

"My teacher..." Wu Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It was Mr. Su Heng."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?"

Wu Sheng repeated, "Mr. Su Heng."

Fang Zilan suddenly smiled, "If it's that old man, it makes sense. He himself has a stubborn temper, and most of the students he taught are also stubborn."

Wu Sheng raised his head and looked at Fang Zilan, only to see that she had a complicated expression on her face. "However, although the students taught by this old man are straightforward, they are not stupid. This is the first time I have seen someone like you."

Yang Zhiqing turned his head and couldn't help laughing. Wu Sheng blushed to his ears, "From what Lord Fang said, you must know my mentor?"

"I can't say I know him." Fang Zilan's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "The old man set up many teaching platforms in the past. I was just lucky enough to listen to his teachings under the platform."

It turned out that when she was still the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Heng was invited by Fang Chongzheng to open a classroom in the mansion and became the teacher of all the children in the Fang family, and she was naturally no exception.

Su Heng had a stubborn temper and could be said to be her biggest nemesis when she didn't like studying and only loved making trouble when she was young. But for some reason, no matter how much she went too far, Su Heng never complained to Fang Chongzheng and her mother in private, and always lectured her directly.

It seemed that no matter how big the problem was, Su Heng would solve it directly and face to face. This was true for teaching and educating people, and even more so for being an official.

When Emperor Ningshun was in power, he wanted to confer titles on his beloved concubine and extend his favor to the whole family. All the civil and military officials knew that this was inappropriate, but since it was a private matter of the royal family, publicly writing a letter to advise would damage the emperor's reputation, so no one dared to speak out.

However, Su Heng stood up. The old man was old and about to retire, but at this critical moment he refuted Emperor Ning Shun in the Golden Palace, angering the emperor.

Due to Su Heng's reputation and the writing skills of the historians, Emperor Ning Shun finally withdrew his favor, but demoted him to a remote place with poor morals. He was not allowed to be promoted or retire for the rest of his life, and the punishment would not end until his death.

Fortunately, the old man was in good health. After so many years, even though the throne had changed, he still stayed there peacefully. Not only did he manage the local area in an orderly manner, but he also opened temples from time to time and trained many talents.

However, most of the talented people he taught were implicated and found it difficult to rise in the court. The best they could do was to become a low-level official in some place.

People like Wu Sheng probably had little to do with him, and since he was registered under the name of the prime minister's mansion, he was barely able to stay in the capital, but he was just a small clerk in the government office.
