Chapter 613 If a girl from the Fang family doesnt cheat on her father [5k4, please vote for me!]
The books that had accumulated dust over the years on the bookshelf were opened one by one and examined page by page.
The walls, floor, and ceiling near the bookshelf were carefully tapped to prevent hidden compartments from being missed.
The library in the attic was filled with female officers who specialized in investigating crimes, and they were rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Dusty dust rose up with the pages of the book and filled the air in the attic.
Somewhat irritating to the nose.
Fang Yiwu's face was bloodless, his mouth was wide open, and he stared blankly at everyone. He didn't even notice that he had eaten a mouthful of ashes.
Rong Zhen walked around the library with his hands in his sleeves, raised his bare hands, slightly covered his nose, and walked over to open a small, tightly sealed window.
Then, she walked towards the door expressionlessly, passing by Fang Yiwu who was stunned and speechless again, and waved her hand casually:
"Master Fang is looking for something, isn't it? Our Overwatch Council is here to help you look for it. You're welcome. Someone, please help Master Fang up quickly and ask him to go out first."
The two female officials stepped forward, picked up Fang Yiwu, and dragged him downstairs.
Rong Zhenlongxiu walked down the stairs and said calmly:
"Master Fang's legs are shaking, and he can't walk. Are you so afraid of our female officer of the Supervisory Yuan? When you saw me just now, your legs went weak with fear?
"Oh, in the lobby of Jiangzhou Governor's Office this morning, were all my words said in vain? I have already said that our Supervisory Yuan and Xuanwu Camp will not affect the good people. Everything is based on evidence and we will never unjustly accuse anyone.
A good person will not let go of anyone who harbors evil intentions. The head of the Fang family can rest assured now.
"Let's go, your beloved Governor Ouyang is waiting for you over there in the main hall. He had a great chat with Mrs. Ling."
Rong Zhen left the heavy workload of searching the attic to the female officers, and temporarily left the three-story building with Fang Yiwu, whose face was ashen and speechless.
Arrive at the main hall of the Fang family manor.
Fang Yiwu saw his wife, three sons, concubines, and old housekeepers all there.
Sitting in rows, sitting on two rows of chairs in the center of the main hall.
At the top of the main hall, my wife was drinking tea with a handsome young man in crimson official uniform.
The handsome young man has a kind face and gentle words.
I saw that the black-armored soldiers who followed him also retreated far away from the main hall, instead of surrounding them like the female historian did when she "told two small things" in the Governor's Mansion in the morning.
When Fang Yiwu came in, he found that the eldest son, second son, third son, and concubines were sitting in the main hall. The faces of the housekeepers were relatively calm, and the atmosphere was somewhat harmonious. There was no chaos and panic as imagined.
The young governor turned to look over and looked him up and down.
"Master, what are you..."
Mrs. Fang also saw her husband's disgraced face, as if he were mourning for his heir, and his beauty was pale, and she was so frightened that she dropped the tea cup.
There was a "pop" sound.
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the main hall suddenly fell into dead silence.
Ouyang Rong's gentle smile did not change much. He turned to look at Rong Zhen and at the same time handed him a cup of tea.
Rong Zhen nodded gently.
Ouyang Rong still sighed after seeing it.
The look he looked at Fang Yiwu was a little complicated.
Rong Zhen first took out a confession list with ink pen outlines from his sleeve, handed it to Ouyang Rong, took the tea cup and moistened his pink lips.
Ouyang Rong looked at the list and saw that Fang Yiwu's name had been circled by the female historian with a vermilion pen. The vermilion ink on the paper was still fresh and not dry. It should have been casually drawn on the way to where Fang Yiwu was being taken.
Immediately sentenced to death.
Ouyang Rong looked away from the list, raised his head, and found Rong Zhen sipping tea and glancing sideways at him.
Look at him.
The female historian's face was expressionless.
It seemed like he was urging something.
Ouyang Rong didn't get up for the moment and asked softly:
"Where is Yun Meng Ling?"
"I'm searching, it's in the library. The head of the Fang family is hiding quite deep, but he is impatient and will take the bait as soon as he is hooked.
"Ouyang Lianghan, your suggestion is quite good. Although I know you are trying your best to protect them, it has indeed reduced a lot of trouble for our Supervisory Yuan."
Rong Zhen said solemnly, with a look of disgust and boredom on his pretty face.
But the female historian didn't know that the impatient eyes she glanced sideways at Ouyang Rong were extraordinarily bright and shining.
"This manor is quite big. If we search it directly, it will take three days. If the owner of the Fang family is as insecure as that Li Yu, it will be like picking up a smelly stone, which is a waste of time."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Ouyang Rong to speak again.
Rong Zhen turned his head and looked directly at Fang Yiwu, who had a blank expression on his face, and Mrs. Fang and other family members who were surrounded by silence, and said coldly:
"I know that you may have been lucky and kept silent all the way. It is because you are longing for that one-in-a-ten thousand hope. I hope that even if our Oversight Council finds Yunmeng Ling, you will not know it."
Rong Zhenyouyou took out a bronze dagger carved with an evil dragon from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and shook it in front of everyone.
"Well, after all, no one who has never seen it before would ever imagine that Yun Meng Ling looks like this. I can't help but ignore it as some strange collection. Don't you think so, Master Fang?"
I saw her gently nodding and saying:
"I'm sorry, I just lied to you guys this morning. I actually don't like to lie to people, except when I know that I was deceived first."
When Fang Yiwu heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled.
Ouyang Rong on the side didn't know why, but he glanced at the back of the cold girl in palace attire.
Under Rong Zhen's calm and judgmental eyes, Fang Yiwu buried his head deeply, curled up, put his head on the ground, and couldn't hide his trembling in his tone.
“Grass…Grass people don’t know…”
"good."
Rong Zhen nodded, put away Yun Meng Ling, drank tea and waited.
When Rong Zhen took out the Yun Meng Ling, Ouyang Rong looked around at the expressions of other people present.
"Lord Governor!"
At this time, Mrs. Fang, who was already in her forties, rushed forward, knelt at Ouyang Rong's feet, crying and complaining:
"Master Governor, what did Fang Lang do to offend the female governor?
"Fang Lang, he definitely didn't mean it. I have been keeping the Fang family's account books all these years. I have never done anything to evade taxes, let alone have any transactions with the rebels in the southwest. We follow the rules of the imperial court.
I know.
"Is there any misunderstanding? What is this Yunmeng Ling and what is this dagger?
"Did you find the wrong person, or did you say that trouble comes from the mouth? Although Fang Lang likes to talk big words and occasionally brag in front of the juniors, he just talks and never has the courage."
Mrs. Fang burst into tears, pouring out all her knowledge like beans from a bamboo tube:
"When he was young, he talked about all the things he did when he was in the world. My father-in-law said that he actually just went out and spent money to make some bad friends. He said he was some kind of young heroine who was happy to get revenge, but in fact he was just a fair-weather friend who took him around to brag.
There can't really be some kind of night robbery to save a hero, or some kind of sword that can lead to thousands of troops...
"Only the sons, daughters and nephews at home believe it, but these are all brags. He can't even beat me..."
The weeping woman's plea came from the bottom of her heart and was full of emotion.
Ouyang Rong was slightly startled.
The onlookers, who had turned pale with fright, looked at each other in shock.
After being exposed in public, Fang Yiwu, who was immersed in despair, suddenly turned red in the face.
"Ju Niang, you..."
People live with only one face, and in the eyes of Fang Yiwu, who believes in the creed of "I am the one who gives me my identity when I go out", this kind of death in public would be worse than just killing him directly.
"Fang Lang, shut up. Why are you still so stubborn? The governor is generous and kind, and treats the people like children. If you have any grievances, please tell me. What's going on with this order? You should get rid of this misunderstanding!"
"Yes, Father! Please explain quickly. You can't bear your grievances in vain. Governor Ouyang has the final say..."
The other sons and concubines fell to the ground and grabbed Fang Yiwu to dissuade him.
Fang Yiwu acted as if he hadn't heard anything and kept turning his head, staring at his uninformed wife who was desperately trying to explain to her.
His eyes were red, his expression could not hide his guilt, and his sobs sounded like he was talking in sleep:
"Ju Niang... Ju Niang..."
Ouyang Rong looked at it for a while, then turned to Rong Zhen and muttered:
"Rong Nu Shi, the others probably don't know about it and don't know this thing. I just had a chat with Mrs. Fang and the others. If they knew about it and had ulterior motives in their minds, they would never have received me with the same warm attitude just now. They must have also
If you are kept in the dark and you find Yunmeng Ling, it will be enough for you to judge Fang and Yiwu. It can be considered as one person doing the work and one person taking responsibility."
The main hall suddenly heard sounds of begging and pleading. Hearing the words, Rong Zhen frowned slightly, glanced at the messy and unclear field, and was about to speak.
"Ms. Shi, the search is over."
At the door, a middle-aged female official whose dress was stained with attic dust hurriedly walked in, holding a small wooden box in her hands.
"Our people searched the attic inside and out, found this thing, and hid it in a secret room. As for Yunmeng Ling... we didn't find it."
The main hall, where people were crying and begging for mercy, suddenly became quiet.
Rong Zhen was about to get up to pick up the small wooden box he found, but when he heard this, his movements stopped.
"Yun Meng Ling was not found? Are you sure?"
she asked seriously.
The middle-aged female officer nodded vigorously with a solemn expression:
"No, my subordinates have personally checked several times, and it is true that there is no Yunmeng Ling... Anyway, there must be no Yunmeng Ling in the attic. As for whether it is in other places in the mansion, I don't know. Ms. Shi, do we want to search again?
Check out other places."
Rong Zhen didn't answer, turned his head slowly, and looked straight at Fang Yiwu.
Mrs. Fang, the sons of the Fang family, and the concubine's stewards all turned to look at him, but they were crying with joy, looking overjoyed that their grievances had finally been cleared away.
"Ah?" Fang Yiwu's expression seemed to be stunned.
Rong Zhen asked with a straight face:
"You have a guilty conscience and came back in a hurry. What are you looking for?"
Fang Yiwu opened his mouth wide and hesitated:
"What are the common people looking for...what are the common people looking for...yes, what are they looking for, no, I don't know..."
He looked dazed and confused, feeling as if he had just walked away from the gate of hell as in a dream.
Ouyang Rong looked around at the people on the field who were staring at Rong Nvshi with wide eyes, and his expressions couldn't help but look a little strange.
"It's not Yun Meng Ling, then what is this?"
He stepped forward and opened the wooden box. He saw a stack of thick letter paper inside and took it out out of curiosity.
Rong Zhen also immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and looked at Ouyang Rong together.
After looking at it for a while, she frowned: "What kind of letter is this? It's about fornication and rebellion?"
The middle-aged female officer on the side shook her head:
"It's not with the rebels, Ms. Shi. It's just some ordinary letters. The sender is from Yangzhou. He should be an old acquaintance..."
After a pause, without looking at Fang Yiwu, the middle-aged female officer sighed slightly and continued:
"Our people have carefully checked the words and sentences, and they are all romantic, sad, and sad... and have nothing to do with the things we want to investigate."
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen flipped through the stack of letters very quickly.
Putting down the letter, the two of them looked at each other, and then looked at Fang Yiwu, whose face was flushed, with a strange look in his eyes that made Mrs. Fang and others confused.
"Ahem."
Ouyang Rong covered his mouth and coughed lightly, stuffed the pile of letters back into the box, and then placed the wooden box on the nearest table.
"No wonder I came back to look for it... I really need to put it away..."
Everyone vaguely heard the handsome young man in crimson official uniform mutter something in a low voice, and then saw him turn his head to ask the cold girl in palace attire with a pretty and tense face.
"Are you still searching for Rong Nu's history?"
Rong Zhen didn't answer, and walked over, staring condescendingly at Fang Yiwu, who was lying limply on the ground, as if trying to find some subtle expression on his bearded face.
She was about to speak when a young general in black armor and black robes rushed to the door.
"Report! Mr. Governor, Mr. Female History, according to the arrangements made by you two, Qin Changshi led the soldiers to raid the Guo Mansion on the list and captured the head of the Guo family who had just rushed back from the Governor's Mansion to sell the stolen goods. He was caught on the spot.
The evidence is conclusive.
"As expected, the Guo family leader secretly hid a Yunmeng Token. When he was arrested, he wanted to throw the order into a lake to hide it, but he didn't expect that our manpower was faster and followed him..."
After the black-robed young general finished his report, he looked around the silent main hall and asked in a low voice:
"Master Governor, how is the situation here with the female governor? If nothing happens, Qin Changshi will ask you two to come over. The head of the Guo family has been taken to the state prison. Mr. Yang is interrogating. There may be some involvement this time.
wide……"
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen exchanged glances.
After a short moment of silence, the two turned around almost simultaneously and walked out of the main hall, followed by a group of female officials.
Fang Yiwu was helped up by his son. He looked dazed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, it's okay. Get up quickly. Fortunately, the governor and the female historian are wise..."
The eldest son spoke happily, he was just about to nod and say a few words.
Suddenly, a team of female historians came from the direction of the back house, escorting a man with a sinister eyebrow and a stern eye, and reported.
"Ms. Shi, our people found a sneaky guy in the yard next to the library. It is this person who deliberately avoided us."
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen stopped instantly and cast their eyes.
Fang Yiwu almost weakened his legs and fell over. Mrs. Fang stepped forward and glanced at the young man dressed as a young man who was escorted up to the door. She looked apologetically and said:
"Master Governor, Master Female Secretary, this is the young master of the Li family in Xiushuifang in the city. He has been visiting me frequently lately, saying that he is the eldest daughter Xiongniang who admires me. He even brought a letter written by the elder to propose marriage. I think he is a good person.
Xincheng, I originally arranged for them to meet today, but I didn’t expect... Xiu Niang is not here."
Mr. Li, who was being rigorously searched and whose identity was checked, raised his hands and looked a little embarrassed:
"Adults, Xiaosheng is really not a gangster, nor a flower picker. He just met Mrs. Fang in Lantern Festival night. Her graceful and elegant figure is unforgettable. I can't help but follow and get to know her. Although I met Mrs. Fang later.
There was a small unpleasant conflict, but it's not important..."
Ouyang Rong saw that Mr. Li was rubbing his sore lower back while speaking affectionately.
Rong Zhen was too lazy to pay attention. He looked back and asked in a cold voice the direction of the main hall:
"By the way, I remember that your Fang family has two daughters. Where are they?"
Mrs. Fang looked a little ugly and said awkwardly:
"The two of them disappeared early in the morning and ran out together. The second girl also left a letter saying that she was going to go out in the world and make a name for herself. If she doesn't make a name for herself, she won't come back... What are you talking about? She ran out to cause trouble.
?But according to my past experience, I have to come back dejected in half a month and eat well."
Everyone was speechless for a while after hearing this, and the corners of Rong Zhen's lips twitched slightly. What a mess happened in this family.
Under the urging of the young man in black robe, Rong Zhen turned around and left.
But before leaving, she gave an order in a cold voice and left a group of female officers behind.
The Fang family is not allowed to leave the main hall for the time being. They have to wait for this team of female officers to thoroughly search the manor before the general suspicion can be eliminated. In addition, they should immediately send a letter or send someone to find the two daughters of the Fang family. After they return home, they must immediately
Come to the Oversight Council to report... The Fang family members all agreed one by one.
The main hall suddenly became empty, experiencing such a thrilling experience.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yiwu raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead and lowered his head. He seemed not to have heard the congratulations and comfort from the people around him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mrs. Fang asked strangely:
"What's wrong with the master's face?"
"When did Xiuniang and Shengnan leave?" Fang Yiwu lowered his voice and asked urgently.
"He ran away early in the morning without a trace. Mainly because Shengnan was naughty and Xiu Niang was so demure. It was all instigated by her..."
Fang Yiwu frowned, not knowing whether he heard it or not. He turned to ask the old housekeeper behind the crowd: "Miss, did the second miss go anywhere in the house before leaving in the morning?"
The old housekeeper replied weakly: "It seems that they went to the back garden where I study to find you, but you were not there. They came out quickly, took some silver documents from the old slave, and left..."
Mrs. Fang sighed and said: "Shengnan probably wants to ask you about some political affairs. Hey, who didn't have random thoughts when they were young? Isn't it the same when I was young... Don't be angry. Wait until they come back. I won't teach you a lesson."
Teach them a lesson,"
Fang Yiwu's face was not annoyed at all, his eyes were thoughtful.
He lowered his head and rubbed his face, and murmured imperceptibly: "No wonder...that's how it is...fortunately...fortunately...this daughter was born right, she can really save her father..."
Mrs. Fang asked curiously: "What did Fang Lang say? Why save my old father?"
"No, it's nothing."
Fang Yiwu swallowed secretly, and under the scrutiny and supervision of the female official at the door, he held his head high and kept his gaze straight.
After a while, the figure of his old wife who risked her own life to protect him in the thrilling scene flashed before his eyes again. Fang Yiwu's eyes couldn't help but move, and he choked silently:
"Ju Niang, thank you for your hard work this time..."
He turned around with an moved face, his eyes full of affection, but he saw that his wife had been standing at a table for some time, holding the letter in the wooden box in both hands, lowering her head and reading page by page.
.
Before Fang Yiwu's expression suddenly changed, a wooden box flew over and hit the front door.
"Ah." A scream came out.
But it was difficult to cover up Mrs. Fang’s roar with her arms akimbo:
"You Fang Yiwu! Fang Big Head! You are still flirting with that piece of shit heroine you hooked up with when you were young. She got married in Yangzhou, but you two are still reminiscing about the past and talking sweet words. You are really not ashamed!
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Seeing that Shengnan has been led astray by you, he goes out every day to find some messed up Jianze... The surnamed Fang is so shameless and sinful..."
Fang Yiwu:......
Looking at the figure of the embarrassed man being chased and scratched on the face by the roaring lady of Hedong.
In the main hall, the sons of the Fang family, the concubines, the housekeeper, and the young master of the Li family who just came over for a blind date all looked confused.
The female officials guarding the door also looked at each other in confusion.
