Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 455
Hearing the words, Fang Zilan looked at Ah Shi, he bit his lip unnaturally, and said after a while: "There was a laundry woman in Qianyan Pavilion back then, she was my aunt."

Fang Lihui's heart tightened, "What did you say?"

"Mr. Fang, don't panic. My aunt is no longer alive." Ah Shi sighed, "The fire burned extremely, but it didn't burn Mr. Fang at all. If you die in the fire, even the people in the pavilion become scapegoats."

"Ah yes, you mean..." Fang Zilan froze for a moment, but did not continue.

Ah Shi interjected: "The people in Qianyan Pavilion have the most contact with Mr. Fang's dark field business, and their lives..."

He paused for a moment, then turned to say: "Miss Fu Que and the others set the fire, which can be regarded as revenge for them. During the torture by the government, they shared the same hatred and had a strong backbone. In the end, they ended up either dead or seriously injured. No life left. Am I right, Mr. Fang?"

Fang Lihui's face turned pale, and when he saw this, he continued on his own, "Not only that, but also their family members, the state government and the country gentry and rich people have never let go. Fortunately, my mother is alert, and my father is a military officer. He was an apprentice in the hall, and he had some kung fu, so he escaped, thinking that he could get some protection under the feet of the emperor in the capital, but who would have watched Master Fang drive the Wanhua Tower to the capital step by step."

"You planned to enter Fang's house..." Fang Lihui took a breath, "Are you doing it for revenge?"

"Premeditated? Revenge?" Ah Shi chuckled. There was sadness and helplessness in that smile, which should never have appeared on the face of a young man of his age. "If I hadn't found out about Qianyan Pavilion, I had some vague impressions. I asked my mother carefully, I am afraid that I will never remember these things until I die. Mr. Fang is unwilling to mention that fire case, let alone those who witnessed it."

He said in a deep voice, "As for revenge, even if I bring up the old case again, Mr. Fang can still stay out of it, and there is no evidence to identify you."

"Then why do you want to investigate?" Fang Lihui couldn't help asking, Ah Shi said quietly: "My purpose was made very clear to Mr. Fang from the beginning. I want to know how Wanhualou survived alone in the fireworks and willow alley."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but startled. She just mentioned it casually, but she never wanted Ah Shi to take it to heart.Did he enter Fang's house just for Wanhualou?

Fang Lihui lowered his eyes, "Now you know everything."

"Understood." Ah Shi nodded slightly, "Only a few lives in a fire case can the Wanhualou be clean. This method cannot be learned by the Hualou next to it."

The folding fan in Fang Lihui's hand was upside down, and the jadeite fan pendant stuck to his golden sleeve, the emerald color was dimmed a little, it was an indescribable depression.

"However, what I want to see is not overnight." Ah Shi's expression softened a little, "At the beginning of Wanhualou's construction, it was indeed formed by the accumulation of human lives, blood and tears, but without painstaking efforts, it would not be what it is today. I I want to see where Wanhualou will go in Mr. Fang's hands."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, "Yes, you still want to stay at Fang's house?"

Ah Shi didn't say anything as if he was tacitly acquiescing, Fang Zilan frowned, "Ah Shi, don't you hate Fang Lihui?"

"Is resentment useful?" Ah Shi lowered his head, his voice was very soft, "The man has passed away, not to mention the fire case was not the fault of Mr. Fang alone. If you talk about resentment, it is better to resent the injustice of the world."

"Is the world unfair?" Fang Zilan repeated these words in a murmur, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Lord Fang, don't worry about me." Ah Shi forced the corners of his lips into a smile, "If the world is unfair, I will fight against it in my own way."

His voice was more decisive, and his eyes turned to Fang Lihui, "I will be willing to be a dog in the future, I wonder if Mr. Fang is willing to keep me?"

Although these words were spoken humbly, the tone of the speaker was calm and calm, and on the contrary, there was an aura of certainty.

Fang Lihui looked at Ah Shi in front of him firmly, and he realized that he had no reason to refuse.On the one hand, Ah Shi knows too much, and he can't feel at ease if he doesn't stay by his side;

"If you want to stay, you can stay." Fang Lihui raised his hand and spread out his folding fan, returning to his usual cynical look.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Fang Zilan suddenly felt that Ah Shi was drifting away from her.Perhaps not only Ah Shi, but also many people, such as Mo Han.

Suddenly, she regretted pushing Mo Han to Li Shengxuan.But she knew that even if she didn't do this, Mo Han couldn't stay out of it.Just why, she felt powerless?

When Mo Han heard Fang Zilan say that His Majesty asked him to participate in the revision of the law as a guest minister, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with warmth, which was more dazzling than the autumn sun.

Even the chill in Fang Zilan's heart was dispelled a lot.She felt at ease, and told Zheng Yan that after the imperial decree was issued, he would lead a team of government soldiers to escort Mo Han to the punishment department every day. The government soldiers guarded outside the punishment department. He followed Mo Han every step of the way. Keep Mohan safe.

Mo Han originally wanted to persuade Fang Zilan not to have such a big battle, but after the rest, he was not the only decree issued, but also ordered Ouyang Zirou to take over the Arsenal.

All of a sudden, Fang Zilan expressed his support, and stood on the cusp of the storm with Ouyang Zirou. He was busier than before, and it was already night when he returned home every day.

Seeing that Fang Zilan was so busy that his head and feet were hanging upside down, Mo Han was too embarrassed to make her worry about such a trivial matter, so he simply let Zheng Yan take the soldiers with him to the Ministry of Justice. I didn't dare to say anything more.

However, the quarrel between the court and China over Ouyang Zirou's matter has intensified for several days in a row, and it is already the beginning of September in a blink of an eye.

With the interference of Ouyang's family and the help of other ministers, Ouyang Zirou has never been able to enter the court to thank him after taking the edict, let alone take office.Li Shengxuan saw that the people in the court had their own ghosts, so he directly ordered Ouyang Zirou to join the court.

The Ouyang family originally wanted to say that Ouyang Zirou was still sick, but Li Shengxuan insisted on seeing the person, and his original words were "Even if it is lifting, the person must be carried to the hall".

As a result, Ouyang Zirou recovered from her illness very quickly, and officially entered the court on the second day of September to thank her.After Fang Zilan heard the news, she also handed over the booklet to the palace and invited herself to enter the court.

On the second day of September, Ouyang Zirou stepped into the palace holding the imperial decree. Before the thank-you ceremony could be carried out, he was blocked by a "blunt admonition" from a royal official. aside.

The censor doctor who gave the advice seemed to be well prepared, and as soon as he finished speaking, several adults echoed, representing the Pei family, the Wang family, and the Ouyang family respectively.

Fang Zilan could see clearly that today the patriarchs of the courtiers and patriarchs were all present, but none of them dared to directly refute His Majesty's face, so the people below charged forward, which only made Li Shengxuan unhappy.
