Dongchang is located in Dongchang Hutong, which is the most hated and feared place by the ministers of the imperial court, because Dongchang controls Jinyiwei. Fang Suwan was sent here. Dongchang has cells and torture equipment, and it is not subject to the constraints of formal law enforcement agencies at all, Shuntianfu, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple have no right to intervene, and the factory officials are only responsible to the emperor.

Fang Suwan was not sent to a cell, but to a secret room. The chamber was surrounded by stone walls and airtight, but it was devoid of the frightening instruments of torture, bloodstains, and the foul smell of blood, and it was clean, with only a table and a few stools. Probably just a place for whispering.

Inside sat a chubby eunuch with a round face, two chins, a white face, and a chubby body. After Fang Suwan came in, the door at the back was closed, and only the two of them were left in the room.

"Miss Fang, please sit down, you don't have to be afraid, it's dark here, but it's nothing, our family just doesn't want what we say to be listened to by others." The fat eunuch said amiably.

Although Fang Suwan's father has only been a petty official for a lifetime, after all, it is the family of an official eunuch, and Fang Suwan was not too scared, but her age is indeed a little younger, and her experience is limited. ”

The fat eunuch shook his head kindly and said, "Miss Fang, you may not have figured out the situation yet, our family is Grandpa Wei's people, and your father is also Wei's father-in-law's people, aren't we our own people?" No matter how you open your mouth, you will be beaten and killed, and our family will not do anything to you. In fact, our family doesn't even want to ask how you were tied up by Zhang Wen on the street, you just need to remember what our family said to you, understand? ”

Fang Suwan shook her head: "I don't understand." ”

The fat eunuch showed three black lines on his forehead, but he still said patiently: "What don't you understand? ”

"I wasn't kidnapped by Lord Zhang."

"It doesn't matter if you were tied up by Zhang Wen or not. The important thing is that you can say that Zhang Wen tied you up, and whoever asks you will say that Zhang Wen took you back to the house on the street, and tied you up with iron ropes, tarnishing your innocence. Suffice it to say, and of course, I have a written confession here, which is written in more detail, such as how you were tarnished and cleared of all the process.

Well, let's read it to you: I was looking at satin in a silk shop on the street and wanted to buy a new dress, but I was not worried about the silk that the slaves and maids bought...... Ah, let's say here, your father is a jinshi, and it is proper for the family to wear silk at all times...... While I was looking at the silk, two men rushed in and snatched me into a carriage, but my attendant was not tied up, and she hurried home to report the news. I was snatched into a carriage, gagged with a cloth ball, chained and unable to move......"

The fat eunuch read the confession with great interest, especially for the details of how Zhang Wen abused Fang Suwan, and after reading it, he put the confession in front of Fang Suwan: "You are from a scholarly family, you should be able to read, just memorize these words, of course, you don't need to be word-for-word, you just need to sort out the general process." Miss Fang, this matter is very simple, you just need to do this, you will be fine, your father will be fine, and you will be rewarded. That's it, do you agree? ”

Fang Suwan was stunned and said, "Zhang ...... That's not the kind of person that Mr. Zhang is, right? He didn't treat me badly last night, and took care of my subordinates to take care of me, and the people who took care of me were all women. ”

The fat eunuch said seriously: "Hey, why don't you open your mind, how did your father teach you?" To put it bluntly, let's just frame Zhang Wen, no matter what he actually did to you, just say it on paper...... Of course, Zhang Wen is indeed that kind of person, he is simply a person with a dirty heart and ugly behavior, such a person, you have to let the whole world see his essence clearly, you are doing good deeds. ”

Fang Suwan was stunned and said: "I have long understood what my father-in-law wants me to do, but I don't know what the relationship between you and my father is, if I listen to you, what if I hurt my father again?" Why should I trust you? ”

The kind expression on the fat eunuch's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and his face changed quickly, more skillful than the play, and he said with a cold face: "Miss Fang, do you think you have a choice?" I'll tell you the truth, although Fang Minzhong relied on Gong Wei, and the Wei Guild would cover him, he was just a small fish and shrimp, if he was disobedient, it would be as simple as pinching an ant to death. You are Fang Minzhong's daughter, do you really think you are Miss Qianjin? Maybe you are noble among the common people, but here you are nothing! If you don't do what our family says, our family will make your life worse than death! ”

Fang Minzhong wiped a handful of tears, sighed and said, "Alas, being a parent is really hard! In fact, the girl is quite pitiful, she has not had a mother since she was a child, and the old man has no time to discipline her in person on weekdays, so she has suffered a lot from her stepmother, and the dog is that brute, and she also bullied his sister! That's the flesh and blood of the old man's wife, and it's also the old man's biological daughter...... Woo woo woo ...... "Fang Min was so sad that he actually cried.

The eunuch saw that Fang Min was sincere, and he was somewhat moved by compassion, and his heart was gloomy for a while, no matter how cruel and poisonous a person's heart is, it is always made of flesh and blood, and it will always soften sometimes. But this compassion soon disappeared, and the fat eunuch had to face the reality, and the reality was cruel, and he had seen so much that he immediately realized what he had to do.

"Lord Fang, don't worry, our family has taken good care of Ling Qianjin, and not a single hair has touched her. You see that this is not the case, this thing does not want to happen, it has also happened, we regret it no matter how much we regret it, what we have to do now is how to solve it properly. ”

"Well, Gong Liu, you said." Fang Minzhong wiped a handful of tears.

Zhang asked about staying overnight, and he couldn't hide it, Lord Fang read a word of poetry, and the mouth of the people was better than the defense of Sichuan. Now he can only do this, so that the innocence of his daughter is ruined in his hands, he has to pay the price, he has to give an explanation! This is also what Wei Gong meant, Lord Fang, as Wei Gong's person, should still think about the overall situation, right? ”

Fang Minzhong looked puzzled: "This ...... It's really not good for the little girl to make such a fuss, how will she see people in the future? ”

"Smack!" The eunuch slapped the table, his expression cold, "Are you old and confused?" If you don't ask for an explanation, your daughter will have a face, and everyone won't talk behind your back and poke your backbone? Let's just give him a strong force, your daughter was treated like this by Zhang Wen, it's not your Fang Minzhong's fault, it's not that your family education is not strict, you are the victim! Ask for an explanation openly, and not only will everyone not talk about you, but they will sympathize with you. Don't you understand this? ”

Fang Minzhong saw that the eunuch was angry, and he was in the frightening East Factory, he was suddenly a little timid, and the eunuch was indeed so reasonable, Fang Minzhong relieved himself: "Only ask Zhang Wen's sin, not the little girl's private affairs?" ”

"Shall we ask what your family is doing? It's all your own people, what's the use of us having nothing to do with you? The confession has been written, as long as Ling Yan does what she says, he will insist that Zhang Wen is sorry for Ling Yan...... Even if you say that nothing happened all night, it's not that there are rumors that affect your reputation, so you will suffer a dumb loss...... We don't ask about other things, we insist that Zhang Wen has done something ugly, so that he can't eat and walk around, the human and physical evidence are there, the human evidence is Ling Yuan, and we can prepare the physical evidence ourselves. When the time comes, Zhang Wen will be embarrassed, see what he is still proud of. ”

Fang Minzhong thought about it, his daughter is not a young lady who is Bingqing Yujie, as long as she keeps the reputation of the Fang family, this kind of thing is actually nothing, Zhang Wen is a political enemy, and it is normal to frame a political enemy. Besides, Gonggong Liu is not bad, according to this statement, the Fang family is a victim and should be sympathized, and the reputation is not too embarrassing.

Fang Minzhong was also very helpless, after all, if the people above wanted to do this, what kind of thing was he, what could he do to argue with Wei Zhongxian? He nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then according to Gonggong Liu's statement, it is not beneficial for Gonggong Wei to talk about those things of the Fang family, and I ask Gonggong Liu to try to keep it secret." Fang Minzhong always thought that the fat eunuch had learned the whole truth.

"Lord Fang, don't worry, our family is not interested in asking about other things at all, and we haven't asked, why did it come about?" The fat eunuch's face became very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the expression of Maitreya who was fraternity, kind, harmless to people and animals, "That Lord Fang persuaded Ling Yuan to let her cooperate, and this matter will be simple." ”

After Fang Minzhong agreed, the fat eunuch asked someone to bring Fang Suwan into the secret room, and then left their father and daughter to discuss by themselves inside.

When Fang Minzhong saw her daughter, her face was full of concern, and she looked at Fang Suwan from head to toe, and saw that she was indeed unscathed and her complexion was normal. Fang Minzhong only relieved his mind at this time, but at the same time, he was furious, and strode across the ground with a "snap" that slapped Fang Suwan to the ground.

"You debt collector, shameless rebel! Don't you have a little shame? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Fang family and your dead mother? ”

Fang Suwan covered half of her swollen face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, I know it's wrong. I'm sorry for my father, I'm sorry for the Fang family, you can kill me! If I die, my father can breathe a sigh of relief, I will not blame my father, I will not blame anyone, this is where my daughter ends......"

"Die! Just know to die! It's easy to die, it's hard to live! Fang Minzhong said angrily, "If you are a member of my Fang family, you will have some courage and give Lao Tzu a good life!" If you want to die when you are young, and if you are wronged, you want to die, who are you worthy of? Lao Tzu is a lot old, he has never seen any wind and waves, he has not suffered any humiliation, and he is not living well! You have to be like Lao Tzu, the more others despise you, the more courage you have to live well! ”

Fang Suwan cried and said: "Even if my father beats me and locks me up, I don't blame my father, my daughter understands her father's heart...... I know that my life will only drag down the Fang family and my father, only when I die, the family will have a peaceful life, you just let me die! ”

Fang Minzhong was also in tears, pulled up his daughter, and choked up: "I don't blame you for being a father, no matter what happens, you are my Fang Minzhong's flesh and blood, if you really have a father in your heart, you promise to live well for your father, it doesn't matter if your reputation is bad, don't those advocates live well?" Do they have a good reputation? It's not that our family can't support one person, so you will stay at home for the rest of your life, and after sending your father to the end, you will share some land and property to live, and there will be a few faithful servants in the family, let them stay with you, and your eldest brother will also take care of you some, live well! ”

"Father, I know myself, I have tried many times to change it, but I can't change it, if it goes on like this, it will only make the Fang family ruined, the daughter has already figured out how to die, don't read it, father, father and eldest brother, your kindness, daughter can only repay it in the next life."

Fang Minzhong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, listen to your father's words, do what Gonggong Liu said first, and when you go out of this place, my father will find a way for you." It's okay, what's the hurdle you can't get over? Otherwise, I'll ask someone to send you back to the countryside and buy a big yard, and others won't know how you want to make trouble. Don't think about looking for a short time, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, do you want to be angry with Lao Tzu? You have to think about your father! ”

Fang Suwan nodded, wiped a handful of tears and said, "Well, my daughter promised her father to live well." ”

Fang Minzhong suddenly smiled, patted Fang Suwan's face and said with a tearful smile: "This is like words, remember Lao Tzu's words, there is no hurdle in this world that cannot be passed, there is always a day to turn over when you live!" ”

After a while, the fat eunuch opened the door and asked, "Lord Fang, have you persuaded you?" ”

Fang Minzhong immediately put away the concern on his face, and said with a smile: "Gong Liu, don't worry, Duke Wei's affairs, the lower officials will do their best to handle it, and the lower officials have already told the little girl that she will do what Liu Gong said." Fang Minzhong's expression at this time was like an old dog wagging its tail.

Fang Suwan felt a little sorry for his father, his father must not want to let him harm others, but he was forced by power and against his will to do this.
