Fang Qingbai's expression did not change, and he looked hurt.

He was honest and fair throughout his life, but when it came to protecting others, he couldn't do it.

"Don't worry, Master Fang. I won't be going out these days. But you, please be careful..."

In the past, whatever Fang Qingbai did was insignificant. Even if a few people were implicated, the people behind the scenes were able to distance themselves from the matter.

This time is different. It is related to the big case in Nazhuang many years ago. If the original result is really overturned, many people will be overturned overnight.

Over this period of time, Wen Qingzhi learned from the people in the small mountain village that what happened that year was not an accident.

According to the information Wen Qingzhi had gathered these days, powerful enemies had repeatedly invaded the border of Beiming. Originally, Yuan Qing and his son were stationed there. However, due to repeated defeats, when they lost the fifth city, Feng Junsu could no longer bear it and asked Wen Hou to lead troops to rescue them.

In the past, they would bring Wen Qingzhi with them, after all, she was like a child at heart. But this time, they didn't bring Wen Qingzhi with them.

I wonder if it was because the battle was brutal or if he had a premonition that something would happen?

There are too many doubts that don't make sense, and Wen Qingzhi doesn't know where to start sorting out the timeline.

"I really don't have any capable assistants, so I just spoke to the Regent."

Fang Qingbai's eyes were like torches, and he straightened his back and looked at Feng Yunxiao, "I know that the Regent is different from those people. You have the Beiming Kingdom in your heart."

A trace of surprise flashed across Feng Junxiao's silent face, but it only took a moment for him to return to normal.

He said, "Sure. How many people do you want?"

"As long as you can protect my family."

"What about you?"

Feng Yunxiao asked in a deep voice, "Are you planning to disregard your own life or death?"

Fang Qingbai sneered, "There are too many people who want to kill me. I can't hide from them. If I can use my death to make my intentions clear and provide a way out for more people, then why not?"

"The rich feast on wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. If no one in this world speaks up for those who have died unjustly, then those of us who are still alive will have lived in vain."

Fang Qingbai's eyes were firm. "I always deal with things based on facts, not people. The Regent is serving the people, so I will petition the Emperor for a commendation. If you disregard human life, I will naturally report you to the Emperor."

Feng Junxiao believes this.

Just such a...stubborn old man.

Fang Qingbai is like a lotus in the mud, although in the mud, she is not stained.

"This king will stay with you two for another time and stay by your side."

After saying that, Feng Junxiao turned and left, his wide cuffs fluttering in the wind, his long black hair flying, and his back showing loneliness.

After Feng Yunxiao left, Fang Qingbai asked Wen Qingzhi again, "Miss Wen, regarding what you just said—"

"Girl, it's not good!"

Zhang He ran over from outside in a panic. When he entered the door, his foot slipped and he knelt in front of Wen Qingzhi with a panicked look on his face, "Miss, something happened!"

"what happened?"

Wen Qingzhi took two steps forward and asked, "Why are you so flustered? What's the big deal?"

Zhang He saw Fang Qingbai again and hesitated to speak until Wen Qingzhi scolded him, "Speak!"

Zhang He hesitated to speak, hesitant, and finally sighed, "Alas!" and said, "Something happened!"

"people?"

Wen Qingzhi was struck by lightning and immediately ran out. The road was slippery and she accidentally fell.

But he didn't care about anything else and got up and ran out.

"girl!

Zhang He chased out, and Fang Qingbai vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he followed him out.

"girl!?"

Wen Qingzhi ran all the way out of the house. When the servants saw her on the road, they all followed her. Sister Li kept shouting behind her: "Miss, slow down, slow down, don't fall!"

"Don't just stand there, catch up!"

Mrs. Li called out to Chunyu, and Chunyu quickly ran after her.

Wen Qingzhi ran straight to the village near the city gate, where the women and children were. Fang Qingbai chased after her, almost losing her.

He kept sighing at the Wen family girl's good physical strength.

Before reaching the door, I saw a group of men in black guarding outside. They looked unfamiliar, but they were Feng Junxiao's men.

Seeing Wen Qingzhi coming, the leader nodded secretly to her. After exchanging glances, Wen Qingzhi turned her head back and said after passing by the man, "Fang Qingbai is following."

"clear."

As I pushed the door open, I was instantly filled with crying sounds. The courtyard, which had been tidy and neat, was now in a mess, and many of the furnishings in the courtyard had been damaged.

The windows were flying around and scattered everywhere, the window paper on them was torn into pieces, and the frames had marks of varying degrees of chopping and smashing.

The further into the house I walked, the louder the crying became.

Wen Qingzhi came in and saw Xia Niang and others huddled together with their children.

Objects were scattered all over the ground, and there was a little blood, which fell to the ground like ink.

"Xia Niang."

Wen Qingzhi hurried over and helped her and the child up, "Are you okay?"

Xia Niang shook her head in shock and moved closer to Wen Qingzhi, "Miss, we are fine, it's Lin Yi who is in trouble."

"He's next door."

"I see."

Wen Qingzhi's eyes were dark and unclear. She looked at the other frightened people, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.

She stood up and walked out, just in time to see Fang Qingbai chasing in.

The moment their eyes met, Fang Qingbai looked around and seemed to understand something.

Wen Qingzhi ignored him and walked towards the other room.

She was not a good person in her previous life, and she doesn't want to be a good person in this life.

But only...

This matter made her feel a little sad.

The assassination attempt that Xia Niang and the others encountered was real.

Even though I have asked Feng Junxiao to send people over, there is no way that everything will be completely safe.

The other party must have been planning to assassinate Xiaxue. Even the news was planned and spread by her and Feng Yunxiao. She had already thought about the casualties.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

Perhaps it was because Fang Qingbai came to find her that some people couldn't hold back and took action in advance.

But why didn’t anyone from Feng Yunxiao give any information?

When we came to the next door, the house was also crowded with people and noisy.

Wen Qingzhi pushed through the crowd and saw Lin Yi lying on the bed with blood oozing out of him.

"Lin Yi!"

Lin Yi lay on the bed, looking painful and with a face almost distorted, "Miss..."

For a moment, Wen Qingzhi's blood froze and she even forgot what to do next.

At this time, Fang Qingbai also followed in and saw the bloody man Lin Yi lying on the hospital bed.

"How could he be injured like this? Why don't you call a doctor? Are you waiting for him to die?"

If the amount of bleeding is too heavy, it is not advisable to move the patient and immediate surgery is required to stop the bleeding.

Wen Qingzhi pinched her palm hard to calm herself down, then shouted to them, "I'll stop the bleeding first, go get Chang Baicao!"

He then sent everyone out, "Guard the surroundings well to prevent anyone from coming to assassinate you again!"

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated and stood guard at various locations. Fang Qingbai went out with them and frowned as he looked at the miserable scene around him.

He went around the houses and saw frightened women and children, as well as crying babies.

Some of them were slightly injured, and several children's clothes had sword marks of varying degrees.

The snow-white cotton inside was hooked out, stained with blood.

Seeing the stranger coming in, the children hid in their mother's arms. Xia Niang and several other women protected the elderly woman behind them.

Their panicked faces were filled with sorrow and tears, their hair was disheveled, and they all had different wounds on their bodies.

"Who are you?"

Xia Niang looked at him warily and asked bravely.

In fact, Xia Niang was not worried about the visitor, but was afraid that she would mess up her performance.

"Are you the family members of Marquis Wen's subordinates?"

This answer suddenly appeared in Fang Qingbai's mind, and his heart, which had been calm for a long time, was tugged at by something. Pain and unwillingness all surged into his heart.

But there is still joy.

Just like the expectation for something, the current situation has changed the thing he is expecting.

It's like a flower bud that is finally, finally ready to bloom.

Fang Qingbai had lived a life of integrity and stubbornness. He had no friends, and even his colleagues in the Supervisory Council were only polite to him superficially.

Behind their backs, they all thought Fang Qingbai was too rigid and inflexible.

Only that person...

They have common language, common aspirations, and common integrity.

He can be said to be a close friend.

Unfortunately, he died.

The man confirmed that Wen Hou Wen Ruohan was his close friend regardless of age difference, the only person he could confide in - his confidant.

He didn't believe that the explanation given for Wen Ruohan's death was too hasty.

But apart from his fearlessness, he had no ability to investigate the matter.

Now that there are signs, he will definitely not give up!
