After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Zhu Guanfeng shook his head: "No, I'm going to have a free meal."

The servant was stunned. Does his master need to "freeload" to eat?

After staying up all night, Zhu Guanfeng felt that he was old and no longer the young man he used to be. He didn't have the energy to ride a horse, so he just got on a carriage.

The carriage stopped at General Fang's mansion.

He didn't send an invitation in advance, and the two families were not familiar with each other, so it would be a bit rude to come to the house so rashly.

But he was a thick-skinned man with no self-awareness at all, and he looked up at the plaque on the door of the general's mansion without any care.

It’s interesting to say that the Fang family’s origin is not even considered poor, but they have taken root in the capital like weeds. No one knows what they will become.

Fang Nanzhi had just gotten up and was being helped by a maid to comb her hair. After hearing the report and learning that Zhu Guanfeng had arrived, she became a little restless.

She also wanted to find an opportunity to visit him and find out some information.

I didn't expect that someone would come to my door on their own initiative.

She immediately said, "Please ask someone to come in and tell the kitchen to have a more substantial breakfast today."

In fact, she didn't need to worry about such things, the housekeeper had arranged it.

When she arrived at the front yard, Qin Yan was already entertaining the guests.

Her father and second uncle must have gone out on business, and her brother is on a day off today, so he rarely has time.

Qian Fengping also showed up, exchanged brief greetings, and had breakfast together.

Delicate steamed dumplings, fragrant oil tea noodles, mutton noodles, and freshly made cakes...

Although it was not luxurious, there were many varieties and the taste was delicious. Zhu Guanfeng felt warm in his stomach after eating it, and most of the tiredness from staying up late at work was gone.

The Fang family has never had any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. As a doctor, Fang Nanzhi knows that not talking while eating is good for digestion, but how can people follow rules and regulations in everything?

"Master Zhu, was it really the Grand Princess who gave the local magistrate a tip regarding the post station fire?"

Fang Nanzhi went straight to the point.

Zhu Guanfeng nearly choked, then slowly drank a mouthful of soup before speaking, "Miss Fang, I only found the Grand Princess's token and the county magistrate's side of the story."

"To judge a case, there must be solid evidence."

As the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, he would not speak without thinking and convict people at will.

"Does Lord Zhu suspect Princess Mingzhu?" Fang Nanzhi changed the question.

Lord Zhu glanced at her and then looked at the servants waiting in the room.

Fang Nanzhi didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, sir, we have trustworthy people here."

Zhu Guanfeng thought, then you have enough people you can trust.

But this matter is not a secret, so it’s okay to talk about it.

"Although there is evidence, Grand Princess Mingzhu has no motive. When Chen Yong filed the complaint, he had the Grand Princess's support."

The speculation was confirmed. It turned out that Princess Mingzhu was the one who planned and ran around for Chen's case.

It's really strange. It was she who produced the evidence that proved Chen Zijun guilty. Now she wants to overturn the verdict. Why?

"We can't rule out the lack of motive. If Princess Mingzhu knew that Chen had two pieces of evidence but couldn't find them, wouldn't it be easier to trick Chen Yong out and then get the evidence?"

Qin Yan spoke suddenly.

Zhu Guanfeng looked at him and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily. This young man was not simple.

"Mr. Qin, the worst thing you can do when solving a case is to make groundless guesses."

he reminded.

Fang Nanzhi was a little unhappy: "Master Zhu, we are allies, how can you not say anything?"

She didn't believe that Zhu Guanfeng went out to the capital and came back knowing nothing.

Knowing it but not saying it, letting the brothers and sisters guess wildly, huh, not very fair.

Zhu Guanfeng almost spit out his porridge: "When did I form an alliance with a little girl like you?"

Why didn't he know?

Fang Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Ever since you abused your power for personal gain, took me to see Uncle Wan, and encouraged me to check the case files."

Zhu Guanfeng widened his eyes.

"What instigation? Isn't this consensual?"

Fang Nanzhi snorted. She used to be naive and knew nothing. She thought Zhu Guanfeng helped her simply to help his good friend Wansheng.

Now that Fang Nanzhi has grown up, Zhu Guanfeng must have noticed her role and wants to use her.

It is impossible to say what her role is, but Princess Mingzhu's people will pay attention to her, Chen's followers will pay attention to her, and assassins will pay attention to her.

So her entry had unexpected effects.

Zhu Guanfeng didn't expect that after not seeing the girl for a while, she had grown so much that it was hard to fool her.

He smiled and said, "Well, Miss Fang and I are indeed half allies."

"It's just that I'm still confused about some things. If I want to confirm whether it was the eldest princess who did it, I have to go and ask in person."

Zhu Guanfeng asked provocatively, "How about it? Miss Fang, do you want to go?"

Qin Yan immediately saw through his purpose. He came to his house early in the morning to eat for free just to seduce his sister.

He felt that this Mr. Zhu was like a fox with more than a dozen tails. Not only was he cunning, but he was also shameless and deceived the little girl.

"Master Zhu is on a business trip, so it's not appropriate to bring Zhizhi with you."

We're not visiting friends, so why would we bring younger generations along?

Zhu Guanfeng saw that he wanted to protect his sister, but he was not annoyed.

"I am a lowly official, and I am afraid that there are some things that the Grand Princess will not tell me."

So, we have to bring Fang Nanzhi along to play the emotional card.

Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but say, "Then it's useless for me to go. The Grand Princess doesn't want me to get involved and won't tell me anything."

Zhu Guanfeng curled the corners of his lips, looking more like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

"This time, that time."

The case had just been uncovered. Fang Nanzhi was a young girl with the surname Fang. If she had not participated herself and had Fang Yin protect her, she would have stayed out of this mess.

Princess Mingzhu was unwilling to implicate her.

But now, after two assassination attempts, Fang Nanzhi can no longer escape.

Things are no longer something that Princess Mingzhu can stop.

Qin Yan and Fang Nanzhi were both smart people, so of course they understood the meaning of this sentence.

Fang Nanzhi knew that Lord Zhu was planning to use him again, but he couldn't help but agree.

She also wants to know the truth.

Qin Yan and Qian Fengping did not stop it, they could not stop it, so they just investigated it, and it would be over once the truth was revealed.

Qin Yan wanted to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion with him, and Zhu Guanfeng did not refuse.

This was not the first time he had seen Qin Yan. In the past, he had always paid attention to the two Lord Fangs or Fang Nanzhi, but this was the first time he paid so much attention to Qin Yan.

He felt that this child had a temperament of keeping a low profile.

The three of them got on Zhu Guanfeng's carriage together. The brother and sister sat on his left and right, staring at him with their bright eyes.

Zhu Guanfeng felt like he was being tried by three judges.

Fang Nanzhi cleared his throat and said, "Master Zhu, you said we are allies. I need your help with something."

Zhu Guanfeng's expression remained unchanged: "Tell me about it."

"I want to see Chen Yong."

She couldn't enter the Ministry of Justice's prison, but Zhu Guanfeng could.

He is one of the officials hearing the case.

Zhu Guanfeng raised his eyebrows, looking a little embarrassed: "Well, how about changing into another one?"
