Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 173
"Fang Zilan, listen to my persuasion." A Wan stood still in front of Fang Zilan, and said comfortingly: "Now that this matter has not involved you, why should you take it on yourself? Besides, today's New Year's Eve is a family reunion. Great day. If you have to explode at this time, people will definitely resent you."

"Miss Awan is right." Deputy General Cao nodded in agreement and said, "Boss, if something really happens in the northern border, I will go back in person tomorrow morning. What's more, Lord Qi is powerful, you know all too well, Boss. People who can escape under the charge of privately dispatching troops are not so easy to be plotted against. I know that the boss is anxious, but there is no need to rush at this moment."

"That's right. It's still rumors that are speculative, so you can't believe it. But if we act rashly, it will be easy for people with ulterior motives to seize the opportunity to make a big fuss." A Wan followed the words of Deputy General Cao, "It's still a big deal. There is the Fang family, they have been in business for so many years, they have never seen such a big storm, why do you need to worry about them?"

After a long time, Fang Zilan finally calmed down and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go to Fang's house tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she had changed her mind, Awan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, "It's New Year's Eve, let's talk about something happy. I think my dumplings are almost cooked, but I can't cook them for too long. I'll go and see them first." Look."

After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, and Fang Zilan took Vice General Cao to see how the banquet was going.

Ever since they learned of the accident in the northern border, although the three of them didn't see anything unusual on their faces, they were all uneasy in their hearts.

Awan originally prepared a lot of food, but Fang Zilan and Deputy General Cao had no appetite, so they just moved their chopsticks symbolically. She was also lacking in interest, and after eating two mouthfuls, she dragged them along and said that they wanted to watch the new year together.

Fang Zilan was worried, and she was a little absent-minded for the whole night of watching the year.She kept her eyes open until early morning, and as soon as she saw it was dawn, she ordered Vice General Cao to prepare the horse and went to Fang's house early.

There is only one Fang family in the capital, but there are several Fang residences.

The residences of Fang's family in Xiang's mansion and Fang's family in merchants are only separated by a wall. They are both in the east of the city, but each has a lintel.Speaking of which, they are still a family, but after all, they are different ways to enter the court, become an official, and go into business.

When Fang Zilan rode his horse past Fang's house, he couldn't help stopping for a moment.

Through the door wall, she could vaguely see the top corner of the innermost attic, and she knew it was Baoxiu Pavilion, her former boudoir.

"Boss?" Deputy General Cao tentatively called her, but saw her dismounting and walking through the snow, "Fang Mansion is not far ahead, let's go there."

She explained a sentence, but she didn't know whether to explain it to Vice General Cao or to herself.

"Okay." Deputy General Cao reined in the horse and followed Fang Zilan, and the two walked towards Fang's mansion together.

The sky was dim, and the night watchman on the street had just left.At this hour, no one was traveling, and it seemed somewhat deserted.

The two walked to the gate of Fangfu, only to see that the gate of Fangfu was closed, so Vice General Cao went forward and knocked on the door.

After the guard at the gate of the Fang Mansion opened the gate, Fang Zilan directly explained the purpose of coming, but heard the attendant say: "Master Fang came by a coincidence. My son went back to the Jiangnan family for the New Year a few days ago, and is not in the capital."

Fang Zilan's expression froze, and he left Fang's house with Deputy General Cao.

After the two of them returned home, Awan leaned over, "How about it, what did Fang Lihui say?" After Vice General Cao explained to her, the three of them fell silent.

After a while, Vice General Cao was the first to break the silence, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Fang Zilan didn't answer, but just walked back to the inner room.

Deputy General Cao looked at Awan, only to hear her say: "Leave her alone."

Sitting at the table, Fang Zilan took out the token that symbolized the identities of the Nine Grand Dukes, and stroked the patterns on it with her fingers, but what Li Shengxuan said to her that day was recalled in her mind, "I am your confidence, you Just move forward."

But the person who would say such a thing said something that wronged her after the new year's social drama.

Aggrieved?
In fact, she was not wronged, on the contrary, she had a heart to go on so that everyone would not dare to underestimate her.

But now if everyone in the northern border made a mistake, she would feel really wronged.

Iron-blooded men guarding borders and borders, with gold and iron horses and a vast world, should not have been involved in the muddy waters of power struggles.

If someone dared to touch everyone in the northern border in order to get rid of her, no matter who that person was, she would not let her go.

One day, the Duke of Beiguo protects the heart all his life.

From the moment she stepped into that position, she understood the weight of the word responsibility.

Fang Zilan's expression was as cold as ice, and the cruel killing intent in his eyes was stained with a bit of determination.

If the enemy doesn't move, she won't move, and when the opponent makes a move, she won't sit and wait for death, she must know the color.

*
In the first month of the lunar year, the emperor rested, and all the officials were fine.

However, a major case on the second day of the first lunar month, like a thunderclap on the ground, shocked the government and the public.

Qi Yuming, the protector of the Northern Capital, took corruption and accepted bribes, Li and Qin, the two lieutenants in the army, colluded with each other to occupy land and bully the people, and Zhong Yao, the magistrate of Yanzhou, tried his best to cover up for himself... everything was sensational.

So many nasty things happened in the important place of the northern border, and the whole court was indignant.

On the cusp of the storm, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Fang Zilan.After all, these sinners are all inextricably linked with the former Lord of the Northern Territory.

However, before Li Shengxuan in Qiankun Palace could respond, the Empress Dowager in Yuzhang Palace issued an edict, saying that she had received a petition from the people of the Northern Territory, and asked her majesty to investigate and deal with it quickly.

Although it is a request, the coercion and pressure inside and outside the Yizhi cannot be hidden no matter what.

Li Shengxuan sent two brothers, Wang Quanzhi and Wang Quanrui, to thoroughly investigate the case of the Northern Territory, but in just a few days, overwhelming so-called evidence spread from the Northern Territory to the capital. the culprit.

A large number of people gather at the gate of Fangfu every day, some smashing stones, some cursing and swearing, and some spectating and watching.

Fang Zilan closed the mansion, passed a few days peacefully, and officially entered the palace on the tenth day of the first lunar month with the token of the public minister.

The news of Fang Zilan's entry into the palace spread all over the capital, and all the noble families couldn't hold back their desire to watch the show, so they sent people outside the palace early in the morning to wait for the news from inside the palace.

Even the Zhuge family, which has always been calm, quietly sent people to guard it.

At this time in Zhuge's home, Zhuge Yu and his elder brother Zhuge Ming were playing chess.

Zhuge Ming twirled a white piece lightly with his fingers, placed it on the chessboard without hesitation, and said slowly: "Master Fang is entering the palace, you can hold your breath."

"Brother's words are strange." Zhuge Yu casually took out a sunspot from the chess box and played with it in his hands, "What does Master Fang have to do with me when he enters the palace?"

　Facing the shocking change, Fang Zilan: I'm too bullying, I want to make trouble!
