Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1327 Help

"The Queen's decree must be known to everyone in the world." Hong Tai said it as a matter of course, as if he had already regarded himself as Fang Zilan's tool to spread the news.

Seeing Hongtai so calm, Fang Zilan felt a little at a loss. She pursed her lips and finally said, "Come with me."

Awan pulled the reins of the horse and watched the two men walk to a remote corner, then turned to Zhou Lang and said, "General Zhou, there are many things to do in the southeast camp, you..."

"Don't worry, Madam." Zhou Lang interrupted Awan calmly, then waved his hand and left with the soldiers around him.

Awan let out a long sigh and shifted her gaze again. She saw Fang Zilan taking out a piece of paper from her arms, which looked like a document.

Unfortunately, they were too far away, so she couldn't see or hear clearly.

"What is this?" Hong Tai looked at the document handed over by Fang Zilan and was hesitant to reach out to take it.

"Land deed." Fang Zilan's hand stopped in mid-air, "Return the property to its original owner."

Hong Tai curled his lips, still looking nonchalant, "I've thought about it, and decided to give the land to the Zhuge family. All the past accounts will be written off." He said it readily, but there was no smile in his narrowed eyes.

Fang Zilan said nothing, just looked at him, until Hongtai coughed lightly and added: "I have occupied the mountain and become the king, so why would I return to my hometown to farm?"

"Have you really never thought of retiring to the countryside?" Fang Zilan stared at Hongtai closely, his lips moving, "... Never."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan chuckled, "You just say one thing and mean another."

Hong Tai neither admitted nor denied it, and put a smile on his face again, "Why are you suddenly so interested in me?"

"Someone will pass on the Queen's decree. You are not needed." Fang Zilan changed the subject, "You can go now. Go back and take good care of Hong He and live your life in peace..."

"What do you mean?" Hong Tai's expression turned cold. "When you asked me to follow King Yucheng, that wasn't what you said..."

"I regret it, is that not okay?" Fang Zilan never took back her hand. Hongtai looked at the almost rogue man and laughed suddenly, "My little beauty, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Fang Zilan didn't say anything, so Hong Tai pressed the issue, "Last night in front of Zhongling Temple, actually..."

"Hongtai!" Fang Zilan's voice was filled with warning, but Hongtai was oblivious and continued to talk to himself, "You want to die with me, right?"

Fang Zilan turned her head away and said without confidence: "Is it right? What does it matter?"

"This is a big deal." Hong Tai held Fang Zilan's wrist, "Come with me, I will take care of you from now on. Don't worry about the Crown Prince's wife, the Fang family, the country, or the world."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Zilan glared at Hongtai fiercely but did not pull her hand away.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know better than me." Hong Tai stared at Fang Zilan persistently, as if he wanted to see through her. "Fang Zilan, have you really never thought about just walking away?"

Fang Zilan was silent for a moment, "I thought about it, but I can't."

Hongtai was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of her hand.

Yes, this is Fang Zilan, she is focused and invincible.

Just because she couldn't escape and couldn't afford to lose. "Did you find someone to spread the Queen's decree, Qianjinfang?" Hongtai heard her own voice, calm and restrained, "Yes, but not enough. Qianjinfang should not be related to Zixiu."

His words were brief, but to the point. The Crown Prince's wife was escorted by Zixiu to Zhongling Temple to convey the emperor's order. Qianjinfang could know this news, but it would not be widely spread.

After all, according to rumors, Qianjinfang stood outside the court and the martial arts world. More importantly, Qianjinfang and Zixiu had a personal grudge.

Therefore, if Qianjinfang wants to spread, it will inevitably be tortuous, and it will not spread quickly, and the effect will naturally not be excellent.

"How do you know..." Fang Zilan stopped as soon as she asked.

Hong Tai knew that she could probably guess it, so he didn't explain much. Instead, he said in an unquestionable tone, "I'll go. I'm the most suitable person."

"What are the conditions?" Fang Zilan's other hand hidden in her sleeve clenched a little tighter. She didn't know why she asked, but she knew that she wanted to give Hongtai a chance, and maybe give herself a chance.

"You." Hongtai looked at the person in front of him steadily, "When I come back, I will take you away. You can go anywhere..."

"Come back alive." Fang Zilan interrupted Hongtai, neither accepting nor rejecting.

"Okay." Hongtai opened his mouth and said only one word.

"As long as you come back alive..." As if out of control, Fang Zilan whispered: "No matter what it is, I promise you."

Hongtai froze on the spot, his eyes full of astonishment, and even more unable to hide his joy, "Are you willing..."

"If you say one more word, I will regret it." Fang Zilan said, and the hand holding the document moved closer to Hongtai, "Keep it."

"You keep it for me." Hongtai reached out and covered Fang Zilan's fingers, "My wealth and life are all yours."

"His Majesty just ordered me to tell Mr. Yin Xie of Jingzhao Mansion that the case of Xu Mansion's leakage must be concluded within seven days." Zhuge Yu's voice was a little lower, "The matter has reached this point, and Your Majesty is still protecting you."

"Your Majesty is not protecting me." Fang Zilan calmed down and said softly: "Your Majesty originally issued a secret order to ask Mr. Xu You to go to Jiangnan to investigate the corruption case. Now..."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Only by cutting through the mess quickly can the next adult who goes to Jiangnan to investigate the corruption case take the lead. Otherwise, he will have no choice but to be led by the nose."

"Jiangnan corruption case? This is you..." Zhuge Yufu opened his mouth and then changed the subject, "The Southeast Government Office has been following up until now. I think you know no less than Lord Xu Youtong."

"I will be heading to Jiangnan soon." Fang Zilan continued along with Zhuge Yu's words, "Sooner or later, I will go to Jiangnan, so why not take this opportunity."

Zhuge Yu did not speak, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Fang Zilan said bluntly: "Before, there was a Mr. Chu Bin in my house who went to Jiangnan to check the accounts for me. Since then, there has been no news."

Chu Bin? Zhuge Yu only felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember when and where he had heard it. "You suspect him..."

He didn't continue, Fang Zilan said: "Yes, I suspect he has been in trouble. But I want to see him alive or dead. Before I see it with my own eyes, I won't believe anything."

Her stubborn look made Zhuge Yu hesitate to speak, "If you still can't find this Master Chu Bin, you..."

"I will keep looking." Fang Zilan said firmly. Zhuge Yu couldn't bear to say anything more and changed the subject. "But now you are the third daughter of the Fang family of the prime minister's mansion. How can you show up in public and go to Jiangnan, let alone investigate the case?"
