Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 471 Questioning
Fang Zilan was working in the government office when she heard the news, and the subordinates who came to report panicked, their voices trembling so that they couldn't even speak clearly.

"You said Mr. Gong... died of illness?" Fang Zilan was shocked, and his subordinates nodded, "Yes."

"Are you sure you heard it right?" Fang Zilan said in a daze: "How could it be so sudden? Didn't you say that the Duke of the Kingdom of Juan recovered from his illness a few days ago..."

"Who said it wasn't..." The subordinate said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Mr. Huan Guogong went to the Ministry of Accounts and saw that it was in good shape..."

Fang Zilan didn't listen to what he said later, she just felt it was a mess and couldn't figure it out at all.

died of illness?Although most of the Pei family members are in poor health, there has never been one who died of illness at a young age.What's more, Pei Juanqing, as the head of the Pei family, appeared in front of people yesterday, but died of illness today, how can it be justified?
"Master Fang!" An eager voice pulled Fang Zilan back from his thoughts, and another subordinate rushed in, "The people from Jingzhao Yin's Mansion are here."

"What are people from Jingzhao Yin's mansion coming to our mansion at this time?" Fang Zilan frowned, and his subordinates shook their heads like a rattle, "I don't know either, Master Fang, please go and have a look."

"I see." Fang Zilan got up and went to the main hall. Cao Hong stood in front of the door, greeted her as soon as he saw her, and said in a low voice: "Boss, people from Jingzhao Yin's residence are here to ask about the Pei family..."

"Lord Fang." Cao Hong's words were interrupted by a modest and gentle voice, the visitor walked up to Fang Zilan, bowed respectfully and said, "Jingzhaoyin Mansion Xie Yanping, I have seen Lord Fang."

Fang Zilan looked at him, feeling a little familiar, she should have seen it when she went to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion before.He intentionally interrupted Cao Hong's speech, presumably because he didn't want her to know something from Cao Hong in advance, so that he could not prepare for the question, but it was a bit scheming.

"Master Xie, you don't need to be too polite." Fang Zilan raised her hand, Xie Yanping stood up straight, and heard her ask: "I don't know why Sir Xie came to the government office?"

Xie Yanping said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Fang should have heard about it. His Majesty the Duke of the State of Jui died of illness, and Jingzhao Yin's House has a routine interrogation. Please cooperate with Mr. Fang."

Routine interview?Fang Zilan thought about these four words secretly, and said calmly: "Master Sui died of illness, and I express my deep condolences. But why did Jingzhao Yinfu ask me for questioning?"

"It's just a routine questioning." Xie Yanping wrote lightly: "Everyone who had contact with the Duke of the Kingdom of Jui during his lifetime will be questioned one by one by the Jingzhao Yin's House."

Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "Then Mr. Xie must be very busy."

"The responsibility lies." Xie Yanping said seriously: "Your Excellency is an important minister of the country, and everything related to him must not be taken lightly."

Fang Zilan was noncommittal, and turned her expression back: "What does Mr. Xie want to ask me?"

Xie Yanping asked directly: "Master Fang previously wrote a letter to impeach Mr. Juan for Mr. Pei Poming's beating of Mr. Mo of your mansion, right?"

"Yes." Fang Zilan nodded, Xie Yanping stared closely at her eyes, "Your Majesty ignores it, did Mr. Fang ever go to Pei's house in private to look for Mr. Gong?"

"No." Fang Zilan answered crisply, and Xie Yanping continued to ask: "Master Fang, have you met Lord Ping recently?"

"Recently, how many days?" Fang Zilan asked without answering, Xie Yanping said calmly: "One month."

"No." Fang Zilan did not hesitate, Xie Yanping asked: "Master Fang, have you met Lord Pei Poming in the past month?"

"No." Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "Not only Mr. Pei Poming, but also Mr. Pei Xiaoze. The last time I saw the Pei family was when I saw Mr. Pei Poming in the Ministry of Punishment. He injured Mo Han .”

Xie Yanping sensed Fang Zilan's vigilance, saluted and said, "I'm done asking, thank you, Mr. Fang."

"Master Xie, you're being polite." Fang Zilan casually called a subordinate to send Xie Yanping out. After he left, Cao Hong came over, "Boss, according to Sir Xie's question, it seems that Duke Pun did not die of illness."

"You heard it too?" Fang Zilan's voice was a little softer, Cao Hong nodded, and listened to her instructions: "You go to Miss Xiao, and ask her to find out the cause of the death of Lord Ping, and what happened to the Pei family. What's up."

"Boss means..." A look of astonishment flashed in Cao Hong's eyes, and Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy. Concealment."

Cao Hong's face turned serious, "I'll go right away."

"Go, don't say anything." Fang Zilan warned in a low voice, and Cao Hong took the order and left.

After that, Fang Zilan didn't care about official business, and stayed until San Ya, and didn't wait for Cao Hong to come back.She simply went straight back to the Duke of Yue's mansion, never thinking that before she got there, she saw Cao Hong and Zheng Yan hurrying in front of the street.

"Why are you here?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and the two of them stopped, but hesitated to speak.

"Okay, let's talk when we go back to the mansion." As soon as Fang Zilan brought the two of them into the mansion, she saw Xiao Xuan'er pacing back and forth in the courtyard, and Mo Han said helplessly: "Miss Xiao, take a rest."

"I'll rest..." As soon as Xiao Xuan'er opened her mouth, she saw Fang Zilan, her eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly, "Master Fang."

Fang Zilan dragged Xiao Xuan'er into the hall, and asked straight to the point: "What have you found?"

Xiao Xuan'er clung to Fang Zilan's ear, and whispered: "Your Excellency did not die of illness, but was killed."

With the expected answer, Fang Zilan pursed her lips and asked, "Have you found out who the murderer is?"

"Not yet." Xiao Xuan'er slightly opened the distance between the two of them, and said in a low voice: "But since he is in the mansion, the murderer must be someone from the mansion. If it is just an insignificant person, he should have reported the crime early in the morning , will not be so secretive."

"If it's not someone who doesn't matter..." Fang Zilan pondered for a while, Xiao Xuan'er said: "The only possibility is one of the two adults, Pei Poming and Pei Xiaoze."

"If those two had the guts, they wouldn't have waited until today." Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "It's not impossible for others."

Xiao Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Guogong cleaned up several adults who came from a poor family in the household department. Those adults were all disciples of the Xiangfu, could it be Second Miss Fang..."

"Fang Zitong? Although she is domineering, she can't kill people." Fang Zilan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow and see if I can find out anything."

However, Li Shengxuan didn't summon her, and Pei's family even closed their doors to thank the guests, keeping the funeral secret.All of a sudden, there were many rumors in the capital, saying that Duke Juan died unexpectedly.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Fang Zilan was a little impatient, and decided to go to Pei's house to find out.Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the back alley of Pei's mansion, she saw a figure rushing over, followed by a group of servants shouting for beating and killing.

　Curiosity will kill the cat, Fang Zilan: I know, I will dare to do it next time
