Chapter 865: Meeting Wansheng
"In other words, there are other forces involved?"
Fang Tong felt a headache. Why was this case becoming more and more complicated?
If Princess Mingzhu is considered a separate faction, the assassins who attempted to assassinate Fang Nanzhi and Chen Yong are considered a faction, and they themselves are considered a faction, and the people who hunted Chen Zixi back then are considered a faction, then is the person Chen Yong may have joined a new faction? Or is he part of one of the factions?
The Grand Princess and the assassin can be ruled out.
Needless to say, the assassin was extremely ruthless in his attacks, completely aiming to take people's lives.
Outside the capital, they even used the Ministry of War's resources, which showed that they were very murderous and there was no need for them to put on a show with Chen Yong.
"It's different. You have forgotten that Chen Yong's branch is the one in the clan that has resentment towards Chen Zijun. Perhaps his purpose in coming to Beijing was not simple from the beginning. He just took advantage of Princess Mingzhu's favor." Fang Tong thought of something.
The family looked at each other.
The case began to be tried, but it became more and more chaotic.
Fang Nanzhi really wanted to see the evidence Chen Yong handed over, but she was not qualified.
"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, I want to directly participate in this case."
The three adults looked at each other, worried but not stopping.
Regardless of whether the child participates or not, he has been targeted and cannot escape.
After lunch, Fang Tong accompanied his daughter to Wanbao Tower.
As soon as the father and daughter arrived, they were invited to the top floor.
Sitting by the window, you can take in the scenery of the street outside.
Fang Tong reached out and pulled his daughter back: "Sit inside, what if there are assassins?"
This kid has been stabbed so many times, but he's not afraid at all. Is he really that bold?
Fang Nanzhi scratched his head and made the number two with his hand.
"It happened twice. One was an assassination at the gate of the capital, and the other was a fire at Tao Yi's residence in broad daylight. Both were under the nose of the Jingzhao Prefecture."
"If this happens again, Jingzhao Prefecture will really become a waste of time."
The one who least wanted her to get into trouble, especially not be assassinated, was Jingzhao Prefecture.
She was right. Lord Yue really had secretly sent someone to protect her.
In fact, Lord Yue wanted to visit the Fang Mansion and ask them to take care of the children. If they are always being assassinated, why not go out less?
What happened at home has nothing to do with Jingzhao Prefecture.
But if he went out and encountered such a large-scale assassination again, he would have to resign because of his incompetence.
In fact, during the two assassinations, they had been secretly investigating the assassins.
The fact that they could support so many killers was a warning to Jingzhao Prefecture.
They just put Chen Yong in front of people on purpose to attract attention, so the investigation of the assassin became a covert operation.
This also allows those behind the scenes to relax their vigilance.
"You never know. I can't put my life in someone else's hands."
Fang Tong doesn't trust Jingzhao Prefecture that much.
Unless they solve the case.
The father and daughter were chatting when the door of the box was pushed open and the person they were waiting for arrived.
"Uncle Wan." Fang Nanzhi stood up and saluted.
After not seeing him for many days, Wansheng has become much thinner, but he still has an extraordinary temperament, gentle eyes and a unique aura.
He smiled lovingly at the little girl: "Zhizhi just got frightened, why don't you rest at home for a few more days?"
Fang Nanzhi said obediently: "I'm fine."
"Boss Wan." Fang Tong also stood up and greeted him.
Wansheng's gaze fell on him, and both of them felt a little complicated.
This was not the first time they met. The last time, Fang Tong accompanied Qian Fengping to participate in a dim sum competition.
However, the two only recently learned each other's identities.
Fang Tong and Chen Zixi got married and had a lovely daughter.
Based on these two points alone, Wansheng felt envious, but besides envy, he felt more regretful.
It was a pity that he took action but was not well prepared, which led Zixi to fall into such a situation.
Besides the regret, there was also a hint of relief, relief that Zixi had escaped the hunt, at least she had lived for many more years.
Wansheng checked and found out that after they got married, Fang Tong treated Chen Zixi very well. Although they lived in the countryside and were a little poor, Zixi did not suffer any injustice.
He was glad that Zixi deserved all the good things in the world.
Wansheng felt complicated when he saw Fang Tong.
Fang Tong’s idea is much simpler.
He knew that Wansheng should be considered Chen Zixi's admirer, but so what? So much time has passed, some things should have remained in memory long ago.
"Master Fang, please take a seat." Wansheng was so sad that he couldn't say anything.
The person he wanted to talk to is no longer here.
The three of them sat down again, and Fang Nanzhi got straight to the point: "Uncle Wan, you should be aware of the two pieces of evidence provided by Chen Yong."
Wansheng nodded, his expression becoming more serious.
"I don't know if there's anything wrong with the evidence, but one thing is certain: Chen Yong is just a branch of the Chen family, a rather distant one at that. Even if Chen Zijun really left something behind, it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a descendant of a branch of the family."
Fang Nanzhi also doubted the authenticity of the evidence.
"So, the waters are getting muddier and muddier. I don't want it to go the way some people imagine, so I'm personally muddying the waters."
The little girl sat upright and spoke in a serious tone.
Wansheng was thoughtful and his eyes were gentle: "Do you want to complain?"
"Ah."
Fang Nanzhi nodded.
"How did my mother get assassinated? Who assassinated her? I want to file a complaint on her behalf."
But in this case, something that everyone knows but has been ignored, or something that was left unresolved after Fang Yin and Fang Tong made a fuss about it, will be brought up again.
In the beginning, it was Wansheng who helped Chen Zixi escape from the exile team.
If she wants to sue, she won't be able to hide this.
"What do you need?" Wansheng asked without much hesitation.
"Evidence of the person you sent back then, or rather, the identity of the person who borrowed your help to rescue my mother."
Fang Nanzhi stared at him with her big eyes, distinct black and white.
Wansheng was surprised for a moment, and then he really admired it.
They talked about it once, and Wansheng said that it was his people who saved Chen Zixi, and then led people to escape. Later, after luring away the assassin, he also died, thus cutting off Chen Zixi's trace.
Fang Nanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but during this period of time, she had been analyzing all the information about the Chen case in her mind and found something wrong.
If it was Uncle Wan's men who rescued her mother, perhaps because there was an assassin, they would entrust her mother to someone else to divert the assassin.
But that definitely wouldn't happen. Seeing her mother and her father getting married, don't his subordinates know what Uncle Wan feels for her mother?
If you really do this, you are stupid.
Besides, her mother is not a puppet who can be manipulated by others. If a random guard agrees to marry her off, she will agree without any struggle?
Even if her mother fell in love with her father at first sight, with all the changes in the family, how much thought would she have to think about getting married?
Therefore, Fang Nanzhi concluded that the guard who took her mother away was not Uncle Wan's man.
"Zhizhi, you are very smart, just like your mother."
Wansheng looked at the little girl and was in a trance again, as if he saw that quirky and unparalleled beautiful woman.
She died, but she always lived in his heart.
