Chapter 788 Betrayal
Fang Zilan didn't say a word, as if acquiescing, Fang Lihui continued on his own, "The Fang family was really not a good businessman in the previous dynasty, and it was common to force the opponent to death and buy the government by tricks."

He smiled as he spoke, with a slightly indifferent expression, "Later, the prime minister's uncle entered the officialdom, and the Fang family had accumulated some money, so their methods gradually improved. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The dynasty changed, and the prime minister's uncle stood on the cusp of the storm, so the Fang family was afraid of being implicated, so they settled down a bit."

"On the cusp?" Fang Zilan couldn't help but say, Fang Lihui passed by, "It's just a few more words for others for the sake of the previous court. Although it's not a big deal, the elders of the Fang family still have a heart There are relatives who are afraid that the past will be revealed, so the Fang family's business has been sluggish in those years. When my cousin Fang Liren succeeds the head of the family, it will be a mess."

Fang Zilan's fingers brushed the wall of the lamp unconsciously, and Fang Lihui sighed softly, "Seeing my cousin's hard work, I took the initiative to ask Ying to go back to Jiangnan's home, in an attempt to take care of Jiangnan's business for him. But after I went back, I found out that the accounts had been stolen. After doing tricks, the business is already struggling to make ends meet.”

He paused, and said quietly: "I designed the mother in charge of the Yanhong Pavilion, and forced her to transfer the Yanhong Pavilion to me and renamed it Qianyan Pavilion. After that, I used the Qianyan Pavilion oiran to go to the state capital and replace the state. The government did some dark-field business, and filled Jiangnan's account with three or four points."

Fang Zilan caught the three or four points he said, and thought about it, thinking that the hole in the Fang family was too big, so Fang Lihui moved his mind.

"Master Fang must be thinking that I've lost patience over time, so I'm looking for an opportunity to change the state capital and cultivate some obedient puppets for my use, right?" Fang Lihui saw through Fang Zilan's thoughts, and she admitted frankly, " good."

"If that's the case, why don't I make a trick to shake off the lives of those who have passed through the dark field business, but set fire to kill them?" Fang Lihui tightened his hand holding the folding fan, "If it is discovered once, it will be life and property. Burned."

Fang Zilan understood, and asked, "So the Jiangnan painting boat fire case has nothing to do with you?"

"It's irrelevant, but it's also related." Fang Lihui said in a low voice: "I know all the kabuki that set fire. Among them, Fu Que, the mastermind, is my good friend."

He closed his eyes, seeming to be reminiscing and more regretful, "When Fuqu entered Qianyan Pavilion, the steward told me that she must be the next oiran. However, Fuqu has a strong temper and often threatens her with death, so she has suffered a lot. I sang with the steward and betrayed her, making her think I was helping her."

When he said this, he opened his eyes and looked at Ah Shi, "You should be able to understand it, just like Master Fang helped you back then."

Ah Shi pursed his lips, "You are different from Master Fang."

"Indeed, Master Fang is sincere in helping you, but I am pretending to help Fu Que." Fang Lihui's tone was tinged with bitterness, "Later, the steward gave Fu Que to several adults in the state capital, and I pretended to take her risk to take her away." Bring it out."

"Mr. Fang is really good at tricks." Fang Zilan sneered coldly: "After this encounter, Miss Fu Que must have her heart set on you, not to mention setting fire to kill people, even if she cut her heart out, she would be extremely happy to think about it."

"Master Fang underestimated Fu Que." Fang Lihui laughed self-deprecatingly, "Fu Que soon discovered that all this was done by me, and also discovered my dark business with the state government, so she pretended to be obedient on the surface. Shun, but secretly colluded with other sisters to plan the fire."

He spoke in a lower voice, "I didn't know what happened until after the fire happened. Fu Que left two letters, one was handed over to the government to surrender, and the other was handed over to me."

Fang Zilan bit her lips lightly and asked, "What was written in the letter?"

"All the plans." Fang Lihui's voice was very soft, but Fang Zilan still heard it.

"The guests invited by all the boats on the river that day were arranged in advance by Fu Que and her sisters. Those people bullied others for the sake of being rich and unkind, and more or less killed them. As for the accompanying boatmen and kabuki, they were also well prepared. They all bear hatred and are unwilling to be oppressed, and would rather die together with a fire."

"I was originally one of the guests that day. But in the end, Fu Que couldn't make up her mind and asked someone to send me away. She said in the letter that even if it was false, I was still her comfort and let her live for a while. Days. In these days, she saw clearly the filth and filth of the human heart, it would be better to burn it clean."

"You..." The man named Geng Nan gritted his teeth and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the woman beside him, "Senior Brother Geng, don't make trouble."

Seeing this, Mingxiang moved closer to Fang Zilan's ear and whispered, "This woman is the youngest daughter of the Huo family of Daomen, Huo Chun'er."

"While hooking on the Huo family's daughter, I'm looking for Zixiu's whereabouts." Fang Zilan deliberately dragged out her tone, and raised her voice: "Hero Geng has good means."

She used some internal strength, so although her voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly, and immediately someone with good intentions came over, "Where is Zixiu?"

"Then I have to ask this hero Geng." Fang Zilan beckoned, and the guy who was carrying tea not far away dared to step forward, quickly put the tea on the table, rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away without a trace .

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Geng Nan blushed, "She has Zixiu's plum sword, she..."

He stopped abruptly in the middle of what he was saying, because Fang Zilan picked up the teapot tremblingly, her wide robe sleeve fell down, revealing the hideous scar on her right hand, A Wan who was sitting next to her quickly took the teapot , "Master, let me come."

The onlookers looked at each other, and they all saw an indescribable expression on the other's face, so someone couldn't help but said: "Hero, why are you being so aggressive towards a weak girl?"

"I didn't..." Geng Nan showed grievances, Fang Zilan looked at him coldly, got up and said: "Since this hero Geng is persistent, you might as well be a witness to see if my handle is Zixiu plum sword."

After she said that, she picked up the plum sword that was tightly wrapped in the cloth, and put her finger on a corner of the cloth, "However, before I look at it, I have something to tell you all."

Everyone had different expressions. They didn't know what kind of medicine Fang Zilan was selling in her gourd. Suddenly all eyes in the hall were on her.

"Zixiu's plum sword is an important physical evidence in the case of Xu You, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Mr. Xie Yanping's house. It is now in the custody of Mr. Xie Yanping, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion." Before Fang Zilan finished speaking, he heard doubts one after another.
