Chapter 879 Late Night Disturbance
Just as he was thinking this, a fast horse stopped at the gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison, and Zhu Guanfeng looked serious.
A man stumbled down and half-knelt in front of him.
"Master Zhu, the Wei family's master, eldest young master, and second young master, as well as the Feng family's old master, master, and eldest young master, are all dead in Liuyun County, bleeding from all seven orifices."
Zhu Guanfeng narrowed his eyes and took two steps forward: "How did he die? When did he die?"
"I received your orders and rode as fast as I could to Liuyun County. On the day we entered the county seat, a major case occurred. The heads of the Wei and Feng families both died inexplicably in their homes three nights ago."
"I have ascertained the truth and have returned to the capital to report."
Zhu Guanfeng's face suddenly turned cold. The other party acted faster than they expected.
Three nights ago, the timing was just right.
Zhu Guanfeng turned around and went back to the Ministry of Justice's prison. The Minister was still inside, so of course he had to report this matter to him.
This night is very long.
Soon, Zhu Guanfeng hurried out of the prison and had someone drive a carriage to Fang's house.
Looking at the big red lanterns on the gate of the mansion, Zhu Guanfeng smiled bitterly. If it was not necessary, he really didn't want to disturb others at this time.
Soon, Fang Nanzhi and Fang Tong came out together.
The father and daughter got on the carriage, and the carriage turned around.
In the car, Fang Nanzhi stared at Zhu Guanfeng calmly, while the latter was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Fang Nanzhi had a look of knowing everything, saying, "Don't try to fool me." "Did something happen? Otherwise, why would you bring me to see Chen Yong at this time?"
That’s right, the officer just told her that she would only come out after she met Chen Yong.
As for Fang Tong, he followed his daughter because he was worried about her going to the prison at night.
Zhu Guanfeng did not hide it from her and briefly explained the matter.
"Everyone in the Wei and Feng families who knew about this has been silenced. Investigating this case will definitely take time, and Chen Yong's case will be delayed as well."
"Now, perhaps if you meet Chen Yong and other members of the Chen family, something might turn around."
Fang Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Do you need me to cooperate with you to get information from Chen Yong?"
Fang Tong was thinking about something else: "Master Zhu, those people are so arrogant that they kill people at the feet of the emperor, at the post station, and in the county town. Is the Ministry of Justice prison safe?"
These words were like a slap in the face of the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice.
Zhu Guanfeng, who was the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture and was working on the case in the Ministry of Justice, felt his face burning.
"Don't worry, Master Fang, we will never let anything happen to Miss Fang."
Since Chen Yong came to Beijing, the Ministry of Justice's prison has already been thoroughly checked, and with his immediate superior personally watching over him, people can still feel at ease.
"Master Zhu, is it really impossible to find out the identities of those assassins?" Fang Tong suddenly asked.
"This matter is under investigation by Jingzhao Prefecture and the Crown Prince. If there is any progress, the Ministry of Justice will be informed."
Zhu Guanfeng said gently.
Fang Tong curled his lips and smiled, exuding a very ruffian-like air.
"I'm a low-ranking official and haven't been in the capital long. There are some things I don't understand, but we're family, so I'll just say a few words."
Zhu Guanfeng sat upright, looking as if he was listening to what was to come.
But he was thinking in his heart that he had only dealt with General Fang Yinfang before, and knew that he was bold, careful and thick-skinned.
I didn't expect that Lord Fang has such a temper. He seems nonchalant and outgoing, but he can really touch people's hearts.
"There are so many of them in the world, but there aren't many families who can afford or have the courage to support so many assassins."
"Apart from the royal family, there are powerful officials and aristocratic families."
Fang Tong had a playful smile on his face, but what he said sent a chill down one's spine.
His eyes were bright, as if he could see through everything.
"Master Zhu, does the Ministry of Justice dare to investigate further?"
The case has been going on for so long, and they only talk about Chen Yong, without mentioning the assassin at all.
But those assassins who almost took his daughter's life were like a thorn in Fang Tong's throat.
He just wanted to know clearly whether this case could be solved thoroughly or would it be swept under the rug in the end?
If it was the latter, Fang Tong's eyes flashed dangerously, and as an insignificant official, he would have to find ways to seek justice for his daughter.
Zhu Guanfeng inexplicably sensed danger from Fang Tong.
It's strange that Fang Tong was not from an imperial examination background and was only a ninth-rank official at the beginning. After coming to Beijing, he always showed a low-key and pragmatic side.
In the eyes of officials in the capital, Fang Tong is still insignificant. Perhaps the only thing worth noting is that he has a good second brother.
But now think about it, a person who can't read or write can enter the officialdom and stay steadily in the Sinong Temple in the capital. Can he be a simple person?
Zhu Guanfeng realized that he had greatly underestimated Lord Fang in the past.
That’s right, how could Lord Fang be an ordinary person when he raised two smart children?
Zhu Guanfeng had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it only lasted for a moment.
He didn't shy away from Fang Tong's gaze. "Minister Baili is a man of integrity. I may not be very talented, but I will take responsibility for every case I handle."
"If there really comes a day when you are completely helpless, Lord Fang should go and see the Crown Prince."
Zhu Guanfeng’s meaning was very clear, they all wanted to get to the bottom of the case.
But perhaps one day when it reaches the bottom, or is about to reach the bottom, the situation will be stronger than people, and your Fang family can come up with a bigger "situation" as long as they want.
Although Zhu Guanfeng had never seen it with his own eyes, he knew that the prince took good care of his only friend.
His eyes involuntarily fell on the jade pendant on Fang Nanzhi's waist.
Fang Tong smiled, but this time shyly.
"Master Zhu, look at what you said. Of course I believe you. I'm just worried about my daughter, and I can't help but have some wild thoughts. Please don't take it to heart."
Zhu Guanfeng looked at him and actually felt that his smile was sincere.
This Lord Fang is really different. His every frown and smile, even his facial expression, is so natural. How does he do that?
Of course it's because I'm thick-skinned enough.
Everyone says Fang Yin is shameless. He is a general, but he reports the case to the police for every little thing he encounters. In fact, he has only learned 20% to 30% of Fang Tong's skills.
The carriage stopped, Zhu Guanfeng led the way, and the father and daughter followed into the Ministry of Justice prison.
It was Fang Nanzhi’s first time in the prison. It was naturally dark inside. Although torches were lit everywhere, there was still a slight feeling of dampness.
The little girl looked around and saw a large cell filled with various torture instruments.
What whips, shackles, clamps, deconstruction...
Many of the torture instruments were stained with blood. Fang Nanzhi shuddered, but his mind automatically began to think, how are prisoners injured during torture usually treated?
Fang Tongze commented: "There are more torture instruments than in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison."
This person has squatted before.
Zhu Guanfeng was not as tolerant as the father and daughter, and led his men to the innermost cell.
"Who do you want to see first?"
As mentioned before, in addition to Chen Yong, other members of the Chen family were also invited.
