Fang Zi'an stood at the door and watched Song Xiang leave with a rage, turned around and entered the public room, but was surprised to find Shen Ling'er kneeling at the door of the inner room. jaju.

"What are you doing?" Fang Zi'an frowned and asked.

"It's all my fault, I caused a lot of trouble for my son. It's all Ling'er's fault. Ling'er only now knows why. Shen Ling'er said.

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "The matter has come to this, and you don't have to blame yourself." Get up. Don't be like this, if you are seen by others, you will be suspicious. ”

Shen Ling'er got up slowly and said softly: "If the son doesn't punish Ling'er, Ling'er will feel uneasy." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I have already been punished, what else to punish?" ”

This was said ambiguously, Shen Ling'er had a fever on her face, but fortunately, she applied earth-colored foundation and couldn't see it. Fang Zi'an also realized that he shouldn't say such a thing, so he said in a deep voice: "I'm a little strange, Song Xiang's sense of smell is so sensitive, I don't know what I did wrong, his words are all aimed at me, he really doubts me." It's really evil! ”

Shen Ling'er said: "Childe, let me make up for it, I'll assassinate this guy." That way, he won't stare at Childe like a mad dog. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Absolutely not." You're already in trouble, do you want to make it even more out of control? You give me a pause. ”

Shen Ling'er was speechless. Fang Zi'an said in a low voice: "Song Xiang is investigating the cause of Xia Liangdong's death at the moment, killing him at this juncture, wouldn't it be to tell everyone that Xia Liangdong's death was definitely not an accident." There's no more wiggle room in the whole thing, you know? What's more, Song Xiang is doing his part, he is a good official who is conscientious and does his best, how can he just kill him. Ling'er, you give me a good listen, from now on, you must not be murderous. The person who wants to be killed must be the person who deserves to be killed, and the innocent must not be killed indiscriminately. Although Song Xiang is a threat to me, it is not to the point of taking his life. ”

Shen Ling'er nodded and said softly: "Ling'er understands, don't worry, unless Gongzi nods in the future, I won't kill anyone again." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and nodded, slowly sat down behind the table, his fingers tapped on the table and fell into deep thought. The current situation makes Fang Zi a little worried, and there is no news from Zheng Xie's side for a long time, which means that Zheng Xie's progress is not smooth. This Song Xiang was staring at himself, if he was allowed to investigate like this, Fang Zi'an had a hunch that he would mess up the whole thing sooner or later. Fang Zi'an didn't want to use drastic means against him, but he couldn't let him do anything bad. And to stop Song Xiang's pursuit, he can't do it, he can only be forbidden by his superiors. To do this, Zheng Xie needs to come forward. But the problem is that Zheng Xie's reason for coming forward is not sufficient, and he needs a definite reason to use as a starting point. If he didn't take the initiative to give him this reason, Zheng Xie might be difficult to act.

Thinking of this, Fang Zi'an looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er, please have one more thing to worry about, you go to see Xiqing and report this matter to her. You tell her that I need an eyewitness to prove that Xia Liangdong and others entered the restaurant to put out the fire last night, and then they were all burned to death by the collapse of the restaurant. This person must be someone who lives on the west side of West Lake. Or it is a night watch, or a person who has a reason to haunt the left side of the West Mountain at night. This person must be absolutely reliable, the kind that will not let go even if he is tortured. ”

Shen Ling'er said: "Childe is thinking"

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, you go and talk to Xiqing, and she will understand." What I'm going to do, you'll see. ”

Shen Ling didn't ask any more, turned around and walked out. Fang Zi'an said: "Be careful, ride slowly, your body has not yet recovered." ”

Shen Ling'er's face turned red, and Fang Zi'an hurriedly explained: "I mean you haven't completely recovered from the wind and cold, and your body is weak. ”

This is a description that is getting darker and darker, and if you don't say it, it will be more ambiguous. Shen Ling'er answered in a low voice and walked away quickly.

Fang Zi'an sat down at the table, spread out the paper and began to write, and soon after writing a piece of paper, he dried the ink, read through it, and carefully folded it into his arms. Then Fang Zi'an got up and walked out of the public room and went straight to the lobby. In the lobby, Lao Ma and Lao Qian and the others were chatting with themselves, guessing what the Lord Song who came at the right time was looking for Master Fang. Seeing Fang Zi'an come in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Guys, do you know where Lord Xia's family lives? I would like to visit and comfort the family of Lord Xia, and I would like to express my condolences to Lord Xia. ”

Lao Ma hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I live in Tuanzi Hutong, Xihe East Street." ”

Lao Hou and the others praised on the side: "Lord Fang is really a compassionate person, we didn't even think of going to visit Lord Xia's family. You should visit those who mourn. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Then what are you waiting for? Go with the officer. ”

Soon after, Fang Zi'an and his entourage arrived at Xia Liangdong's home in Tuanzi Hutong, Xihe East Street. Xia Liangdong's family has a wife, two concubines and three children, and a mourning hall has been set up at home in the morning, and the whole family is dressed in linen and filial piety to handle the funeral. When Fang Zi'an arrived, the Xia family heard that it was the officials in the yamen who came to mourn, and they immediately cried and made a noise.

Fang Zi'an came to Xia Liangdong's coffin to offer incense, and said silently in his heart when he made a gesture: "Lord Xia, don't blame me, if you don't have bad intentions towards me, you won't be where you are today." You've done a lot of bad things, and you know that you're a damned person, and you're even going to implicate your family. What I can do now is to protect your reputation and keep your family from being implicated by you, so that they can still respect you when they talk about you in the future, which is already the greatest compensation for you. You are a smart person, and you don't understand. ”

After the condolences were over, Fang Zi'an and others came to the family, and a fat woman with a vegetarian body came to Fang Zi'an and kowtowed, crying.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, this is Lord Fang of our yamen, and he is the master who manages the yamen with Lord Xia. Lord Xia has suffered misfortune, and now Lord Fang is in charge. Lao Ma and the others obviously knew this woman and introduced Fang Zi'an's identity to her.

"Lord Fang, this is Lord Xia's widow." Lao Hou also introduced to Fang Zi'an in a low voice.

Fang Zi'an arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law's Day mourns and changes, people can't be resurrected after death, everything has to be opened." Lord Xia has been loyal all his life, for the country and the people, and worried about doing things, which is a model for us to learn. It's a pity that there was such an accident and he died young. Hey, it's really sad. Sister-in-law, if you have any requirements and ideas, you can mention them to the yamen. ”

The woman burst into tears and cried out, "The dead ghost is dead, what can we do with this family, orphans and widows?" became a Rausch officer, and he didn't save any property, but he left, how can we be good? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, as far as this official knows, Lord Xia lost his life to fight the fire. This is a sacrifice for the country, and there is a pension and various awards. ”

The woman hurriedly said, "What about the money?" What about awards? Why didn't you see it? ”

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "The lower official is ashamed. That's right, Mrs. Sister-in-law, something is wrong now. What we learned was that Lord Xia risked his life to save the people trapped in the fire. This kind of behavior is the supreme and noble behavior in our yamen, and even in the entire Song court. It will be admired from top to bottom. The imperial court will naturally give bereavement awards. However, now some people have to say that Lord Xia died not to save people, but not to say that Lord Xia was killed by someone. It's not that Lord Xia and his brothers went to the restaurant to drink and have fun. This means that Lord Xia's death was killed by someone, and he was killed by the enemy, so he didn't die to fight the fire. In this way, the imperial court will not give rewards and pensions, at most it will mean a little silver. In view of the current situation, neither awards nor bereavement benefits can be brought to you. ”

When the woman heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Does that mean he died in vain? Your housekeepers are too bullying. My husband has also sacrificed his life for the court. Your husband just died, and you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone, right? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "It's not that we turn our faces and deny people, but that someone has to question the cause of Lord Xia's death, and they have to insert a lever." All of our defense forces are filled with righteous indignation, why don't we want to correct Lord Xia's name. Lord Xia died so heroically, some people actually had to smear him, and they had to prevent the imperial court from awarding awards and honors, which was really hateful. We can't wait to make a big fuss. It's a pity that we are not the family of Lord Xia, and we can't argue in this matter. ”

"What? So that's it? You people, who usually receive the favor of my husband, have become shrunken turtles by this time? Husband, dead ghost, open your eyes, as soon as you die, they will do this to us. Oops! The woman wept as she spoke.

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself." In fact, there is still some room for manoeuvre in this matter. I came today to ask my sister-in-law's opinion, if there is a way to let Lord Xia die where he wants, he will die a glorious death. can also make the imperial court reward and pension, is the sister-in-law willing to cooperate with the official to fight for all this for Lord Xia? ”

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "Then do you need to say?" ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Okay, Mrs. Sister-in-law, can you take a step to speak, this official has something to talk to you alone." ”

At dusk, a woman was led by Shen Ling'er to the yamen of the defense army. Not long after Fang Zi'an and the others came back, when Lao Ma and Lao Hou and the others were suspecting the identity of this woman, Fang Zi'an came out of the side room, followed by the woman, and said loudly to Lao Ma and Lao Hou and others: "Ascend to the court, ask questions, and record confessions." Last night's eyewitnesses were found. ”

Lao Ma and Lao Hou and others were surprised, it turned out that this woman was actually an eyewitness to the fire last night. Originally, everyone didn't believe Fang Zi'an's statement that Xia Liangdong died to fight the fire, and they all felt that it was impossible for Lord Xia to take the risk, but Lord Fang actually found an eyewitness. In other words, the truth of this matter will be revealed.

The witness was not only a woman, but a beautiful woman, with an attractive smell of flesh all over her body. The plump body is not like words, and he stands there like a tender meat that will be flattering when he is about to drip. caused Lao Ma Lao Hou and others to roll in their throats, and their saliva was swallowed.
