Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1240 Haunting

Fang Zilan said quietly: "Isn't Qianjinfang completely unaware of the incident at Zhongling Temple?"

Xiao Xuan'er was stunned, and Fang Zilan said directly: "I forced Master Ran Deng to death, will Brother Wan hold a grudge against me?"

"What do Miss Fang San mean by this?" Xiao Xuan'er lowered her expression, and Fang Zilan looked at her steadily, "I don't want to accuse you. It's not that I don't understand the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but there must be a way for everything. Spend."

Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips, "Does Miss Fang San think Qianjinfang is not innocent just based on these account books?"

"I didn't say that." Fang Zilan closed the ledger, "Brother Wan is still being held captive by Murong Qing..."

"Miss Fang San, the matter has come to this, and I don't have to hide it from you." Xiao Xuan'er stopped Fang Zilan's words, "Qianjinfang is inseparable from human relationships. I think I can't be considered innocent, but I can't be said to be guilty. Since you mentioned As for my uncle, I will make peace with you."

Fang Zilan nodded slightly and signaled Xiao Xuan'er to continue, "Don't bother Miss Fang San. The Zhen family of Qianjinfang can save me. As for others, Qianjinfang will not interfere. Miss Fang San, are you satisfied?"

"If the Qianjinfang Zhen family can save it, why has it been delayed until now?" Fang Zilan said, and without waiting for Xiao Xuan'er's reply, she added: "The price is too high, so I'll do it."

As she spoke, she took out half of the token from the Silver Armor Army and placed it on the table, "No matter how embarrassing it is, Murong Qing will not fall out with me for the time being."

Xiao Xuan'er lowered her head and glanced at the half token, "Miss Fang San, do you want to give it back?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan'er couldn't help but ask, Fang Zilan didn't look at her, "Some things, winning or losing is a lifetime. When Yun Shu lost, she lost her life. When I won, I won not only this half. Block token, and Murong Qing’s fear. Only if he is afraid of me will he truly respect me.”

Xiao Xuan'er didn't understand why Fang Zilan suddenly brought this up, but she still said, "I guess she's angry."

"That's right." The smile on Fang Zilan's face grew wider. Anger is a kind of stress response for ordinary people when facing fear. It is not decent and ugly, but the advantage is intuitive and obvious.

"I won't return it." Fang Zilan shook her head, "Is there any reason to just return something that I finally got my hands on?"

Hearing this, a suspicion flashed in Xiao Xuan'er's eyes, and Fang Zilan curled her lips, "Miss Xiao, what do you think Murong Qing's mood was when he left that day?"

Murong Qing is not the only one who is afraid? Xiao Xuan'er was heartbroken, "Congratulations to Miss Fang San, now Murong Qing is really afraid of you."

Xia Houyan was waiting in front of the hall. When she saw Fang Zilan, she hurriedly took a few steps forward. However, she suddenly realized something and stopped. Just as she was about to salute, she held her arm and said, "Miss Yan'er, there is no need to be polite."

"Master Fang..." Xia Houyan stopped talking, but Fang Zilan understood clearly, "Both of them are my trusted people, Miss Yan'er can just say whatever she wants."

"Okay." Xia Houyan nodded, "The source of this plague is an islander on a fishing island in the East China Sea. The fishing island is remote, and I got the news by chance, and I was about to take a look. But For some reason, the islanders who were infected with the disease suddenly left the island and came to the vicinity of Mushan Pass. I rushed over immediately after receiving the news, but it was too late and the plague had already spread. "

Awan couldn't help but interject and asked: "Can you confirm what kind of epidemic it is?"

"It's not certain yet." Xia Houyan shook her head and said, "I heard that people infected with the disease have sudden chills, followed by high fever and profuse sweating. I have not seen the specific situation, and I dare not speak nonsense." Awan After hearing her words, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Fang Zilan asked, "Miss Yan'er, do you know why the islanders suddenly left the island?"

"I also found it strange." Xia Houyan looked puzzled. "After I received the news, I initially judged that it was most likely an epidemic, so I immediately used carrier pigeons to notify the islanders and asked them not to leave the island. What's more, the islanders regard the sea as their Normally, apart from trading supplies, they rarely leave the island.”

"Moreover, Mushan Pass is not close to the East China Sea." Fang Zilan had a cold face, and Xia Houyan asked tentatively, "What did Mr. Fang have in mind?"

"It's nothing." Fang Zilan's expression softened slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Now there are pirates in Mushan Pass, and there is a plague in nearby villages and towns. I'm afraid it won't be possible for me to mobilize troops from the southeast camp. Can I ask Miss Yan'er to report to Xiahou for me? A message from the general?"

"Please forgive me for not agreeing to Master Fang's request." Xia Houyan bowed solemnly and said: "Before the plague spreads further, as a doctor, I must do something."

"Since Miss Yan'er has decided to go, I won't say anything more." Fang Zilan bowed respectfully to the people in front of her, "I wish Miss Yan'er a smooth trip. I will first take care of the people who are sick." Thank you, Miss Yaner."

"Lord Fang, I'm embarrassed." Xia Houyan waved her hand quickly, "If Lord Fang has no other instructions, I will set off now."

"Miss Yan'er, wait a minute." The person who stopped Xia Houyan was Awan. She handed over a silk handkerchief and said, "I have soaked this silk handkerchief with herbs. Miss Yan'er can use it to cover her mouth and nose, so she is prepared." ”

"This..." Xia Houyan hesitated and did not accept it, and Awan put it into her hand without any explanation, "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I know that the epidemic is terrible, and Miss Yan'er cherishes it."

"Thank you so much, girl." Xia Houyan accepted the silk handkerchief and left without hesitation.

Fang Zilan stared at Xia Houyan's leaving figure. The hand hidden in her sleeve was still holding the letter tightly, but it couldn't stop shaking.

"Fang Zilan?" Awan noticed something was wrong with her, and half-supported and half-tugged her to the seat, "What happened?"

"King Rong'an wrote to me and said that if I don't reveal to Your Majesty his affair with the pirates, he will protect the Mo family." Fang Zilan said every word with gritted teeth, "If I don't agree, I won't be able to walk out of the twilight alive." Shanguan.”

"What?" Awan's face was full of disbelief, "How can King Rong'an have such great ability, and he still won't let you walk out of Mushan Pass alive?"

"The islanders on the outlying islands are probably arranged by King Rongan." Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear, but Awan was stunned, "You mean..."

She suddenly reacted as soon as she said the words, "That's right. Logically speaking, given the prestige of the Xiahou family in the southeast, and despite Miss Yan'er's repeated instructions, some islanders can still leave the island. It can only be done deliberately by someone. That makes sense.”

"King Rongan is so scary." Vice Admiral Cao couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Mo Bin would go to such an extent to protect himself."

"Mo Bin?" Fang Zilan repeated the name blankly, and then said to Deputy General Cao: "Old Cao, please send someone quickly to invite Mr. Su to come over and tell me that I have something important to discuss."
