Chapter 941 Meeting the County Horse
With this, the Chen Zijun case and the related cases have finally come to a conclusion.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Ying Er took the initiative to approach Nan Zhi, who knelt in respect.
Fang Nanzhi dodged the greeting; she couldn't accept such a courtesy from the Dragon Guards.
"Miss Fang, we have wronged you in many ways."
Shadow Two did not stand up, but bowed his head solemnly.
Chen Zijun was framed, and the Dragon Hidden Guards saw it all, but because of the late emperor's decree and Chen Zijun's request, they could only hide it and not reveal the truth.
After ignoring each other for more than a decade, when they met again, he deliberately approached Fang Nanzhi, also to bring trouble to Dongshui.
Although it was a choice made out of desperation, I truly feel sorry for this young girl.
Fang Nanzhi's eyes reddened slightly: "The one who died saving my mother back then, was one of your people?"
"Yes, it was arranged in advance by Prime Minister Chen. He told us to find Wan Sheng and rescue Miss Zixi." Ying Er did not hide anything.
"Ying Yi personally led the team, but unfortunately they encountered assassins. In order to distract them, he had to separate from Miss Zi Xi. A message was sent back along the way, but they were still caught up by the assassins."
Shadow One was actually the captain of the Dragon Guard; after his death, Shadow Two came into being.
At the time, upon learning that Chen Zixi was out of danger and Ying Yi was dead, they dared not pursue the matter further.
They feared that if the investigation continued, his identity would be exposed, and Chen Xiang's plans before his death would be ruined.
They could only fade into obscurity.
Fang Nanzhi nodded slightly: "Does Yingyi have a grave? I would like to go and pay my respects. He saved my mother's life."
Regardless of whether it was at his uncle's behest or not, the Dragon Guards still lost people trying to save Chen Zixi.
Fang Nanzhi's resentment towards them dissipated considerably.
The Dragon Guards, though they may have heard of glory, are merely living out their obsession with their former master.
Many things are beyond our control.
Shadow Two shook his head.
People like them, once they're dead, they're gone; there's no such thing as a grave.
Fang Nanzhi understood.
"Get up. You have your own principles, and you haven't wronged me in any way."
Aside from the incident of shifting blame, the Dragon Guards really didn't do anything to harm her.
When Ying Si came to her door, she knew full well that he would cause trouble, but she still kept him there, intending to turn the tables on him.
Or rather, the Dragon Guard used a calculated strategy here, and she was willing to take the bait, so she has no one to blame but herself.
Ying Er's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, he hesitated before getting up and making way for her.
Fang Nanzhi and her family left.
Watching her retreating figure, Shadow Two's thoughts were in turmoil.
After all, she has the blood of the Chen family. If Fang Nanzhi were not a young girl but a man, perhaps it would be good to hand over the great cause to her before Prime Minister Chen could complete it.
Pity.
The family didn't take a carriage; instead, they walked back home, which was quite unusual.
"The New Year is almost here, let's go back to the village during the holiday." Fang Tong glanced at his daughter furtively.
Now that the matter is settled, I'll go back and pay my respects to my daughter's mother, so that the people below can rest easy.
"Mmm." Fang Yin really missed the village after not returning for a long time: "I can go back and show off my power."
He's a great general now.
Going back to the village, he would visit the families who used to call him a fool every day, asking them to pay their respects. It was quite interesting.
"Zhizhi, I remember someone used to laugh at you for being a peasant girl. Do you remember her name? Let's go visit her."
Fang Nanzhi: ...
"And Brother Yan, go and pay your respects to Chief Qin."
Qin Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Second Uncle."
Leave the magnanimity to others; they'll go back and gloat.
"Mother, let the embroiderer make a few more outfits. I want to change into a different one every day when I go back to the village." Fang Nanzhi also became interested.
“One set isn’t enough, three sets are needed.” Qian Fengping smiled brightly.
In fact, housekeepers in the capital city usually wear three different outfits a day.
They wear one set of clothes at home and another set when they go out; sometimes they even change into a different set of clothes when they have a meal.
Fang Nanzhi was so busy, like a spinning top, studying medicine, reading books, and seeing patients, that she didn't have time to do anything else.
"By the way, Zhizhi, you don't need to go to help Grand Princess Mingzhu with her detoxification, right?" Fang Tong asked.
Princess Mingzhu is a decent person; she seems to be quite protective of her daughter.
According to the relationship, she is Zhizhi's maternal aunt.
But I think I'll pass. I feel a distance between us, so I shouldn't try to get too close.
"No need, Physician Xing has already taken over." Fang Nanzhi shook her head.
The family strolled leisurely through the streets, but when they reached a certain intersection, Fang Nanzhi and Fang Yin both stopped and turned to look inside.
The aroma of the meat patties wafted over, and the two children couldn't help but sniff.
Meng Lan found it amusing and arranged for a servant to go and buy it.
"Thank you, Second Aunt!"
Fang Nanzhi took the meat pie and said sweetly.
"Wife, you're so good to me." Fang Yin was also beaming with joy, laughing without a care in the world, not at all like a mighty and valiant general.
This turmoil is truly over for the Fang family.
The next day, Fang Tong accompanied his daughter to visit Chen Zijun's grave and talked about these things.
After offering incense and kowtowing, Fang Nanzhi was still pondering as she was leaving.
"His Majesty has posthumously honored my uncle, and his grave will likely be moved. I wonder if it will be moved back to the ancestral grave."
This matter should be decided by Grandpa Chen Jiu.
Not only Chen Zijun, but all the Chen family members who were beheaded back then should have their graves moved and be reburied, right?
"I'm afraid it depends on what Grand Princess Mingzhu thinks," Fang Tong said.
According to custom, since the Grand Princess was a member of the Chen family, she should be buried in the Chen family ancestral cemetery after her death.
Fang Nanzhi nodded and didn't think about it any further.
Grandfather Jiu has just received his title and is very busy. Don't forget about the clansmen suffering in the harsh land; we must bring them to the capital.
Once the affairs of the living are settled, then we can attend to the dead.
The father and daughter boarded the carriage, and just as they reached the main street, they heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead.
The coachman pulled on the reins in time, controlling the carriage and swerving to the side.
Fang Nanzhi lifted the carriage curtain, quite puzzled. Who was riding a horse on the main street at this hour?
She had barely poked her head out when she saw a fast horse galloping past.
A petite figure immediately sat down.
Fang Nanzhi was stunned.
"The Princess of Yiyang? She's back?"
The key question is, how come she didn't know that the Princess of Yiyang could ride a horse? And her horsemanship seems quite good, doesn't it?
She's usually so delicate, always needing to be carried to walk. What's wrong with her today?
Fang Tong pulled down the curtain to block the flying dust.
"do not know."
Once order was restored on the main street, the carriages slowly resumed their leisurely pace.
Fang Nanzhi muttered to herself, "She's pregnant, it's not good for her to be jostled around."
Princess Yiyang's face was indeed a little pale at this moment, but she endured the discomfort and rode at full speed to the Ministry of Justice prison.
She swayed a couple of times after jumping off the horse.
The county magistrate of Yiyang raised her chin and stared at the jailer at the door.
"I want to see the county magistrate."
The jailers looked at each other, of course they recognized this old lady.
Those who were quick-witted immediately went to consult their superiors.
Zhu Guanfeng happened to be there; he was planning to hand over the case and then return to the capital.
He was detained by the Minister and talked for quite a while, who said that the Ministry of Justice was more suitable for him and that young people need more experience...
