"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xia Niang's eyes dodged, and she took two steps back holding the child in her arms.

Everyone cooperated and cried, "Sir, please don't ask any more questions. It's already hard for us orphans and widows to survive. Please don't destroy our last chance of survival!"

Everyone sobbed, but they all held back their tears, not daring to cry too loudly, as if they were afraid of attracting attention.

At this point, Fang Qingbai became more certain of his guess.

"I am Fang Qingbai, the head of the Supervisory Council, responsible for investigating the case of Marquis Wen."

As he spoke, he observed the expressions on everyone's faces. Seeing that they were moved, he stepped forward and said, "The incident back then was complicated, full of doubts, and involved many people. I understand your current situation. The Emperor ordered the Overwatch Council to investigate this matter, which shows that the Emperor still has doubts about what happened back then."

"Of Marquis Wen's former subordinates, a few are still alive. Most were killed in action, and a number are missing. Therefore, we can only conclude the case based on the accounts of those who survived."

"Over the years, I've heard many different opinions. Especially regarding the former subordinates of Marquis Wen, some claim they were persecuted, etc., but I can't find anyone to verify it."

"If you are truly the widows of Marquis Wen's former subordinates, don't you want justice for your husbands and sons?"

Fang Qingbai was fair throughout his life, except for the matter of Marquis Wen, where he harbored selfish motives.

He desperately wanted to find out anything related to Wen Hou and learn the truth about his death.

Xia Niang and the others had heard of the man in front of them and believed in his character.

But... they couldn't ruin their girl's plan.

"Ha ha……"

Xia Niang gave a bitter laugh, her expression filled with forlornness. "Sir, where is there any justice in this world? We are all small people, our words carry no weight, and no one will ever listen to what we say."

"Most of the people here have lost their husbands and sons. Forget about justice, we just want a resolution. But because someone went to demand a resolution, to demand the bodies of their own family members, they were beaten to death..."

Her eyes were red as she looked at Fang Qingbai, "Not only that, those people wanted to kill us all! We, we are lucky to have survived."

"Sir, we are afraid. We don't want to pursue the matter anymore."

As she spoke, she looked at the sleeping child in her arms, "We just want to live like this..."

These words touched Fang Qingbai's heart deeply.

He had seen too many cases and understood people's hearts too well, so he could understand what they were thinking now.

"grown ups,"

An old woman came out trembling and knelt in front of Fang Qingbai, "Sir, I beg you, please don't investigate this matter any further! Leave a way out for us orphans and widows!"

"Sir, please give us a way to live!"

All the women and children in the room knelt in front of Fang Qingbai, who staggered back two steps.

The truth may be right in front of him, but he feels he can't touch it.

Which is more important, the lives of these people or the truth?

Fang Qingbai walked out dejectedly and stood in the sunlight. He felt that the sunlight was very dazzling today.

On the other side, Chang Baicao hurried over and entered the next room. He wanted to go see the injured man, but was stopped.

"Who are you?"

Fang Qingbai looked at the well-trained team in front of him and asked.

The leader stepped forward and said, "Belonging to the Regent's Shadow Guard."

Only then did Fang Qingbai understand why these people were able to survive.

He was careless. He should have thought that those who could cover the sky with one hand would always find these poor people before him.

He turned around, looked at the messy courtyard, stood there blankly, letting the cold wind blow on him.

His shoes and socks, which had long been wet, stuck to his feet and froze him until he lost consciousness.

A terrifying chill came from under his feet and invaded every part of his body. He gasped twice and fell to the ground.

Seeing him fall, Zhang He was about to go over and help him up, but was interrupted by him waving his hand.

Fang Qingbai looked at him and asked, "Are you the guard of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Yes."

Zhang He responded, "It's cold, you should get up first."

Fang Qingbai shook his head. "It's better to cool down. It will make you sober."

“The people here…”

"Don't you have the answer?"

Zhang He looked into the room and sighed, "Master Fang, for some people, it's not easy to survive. Look, they are just a group of pitiful people, but there are still people who want to kill them."

"My daughter is in the same situation. She is helpless in this capital city, living on thin ice, and has to take care of these people."

"She's just a girl, and she has to make a living for so many people all day long. Those black-hearted people from the Yuan family are still taking advantage of her."

“…Zhang He was rude.”

Zhang He bowed and apologized, then stepped aside and looked at Fang Qingbai silently.

Soon, Feng Junxiao arrived.

Following behind was Xiao Yi.

"Meet the Regent, meet the Prefect."

Xiao Yi bowed to everyone one by one, but Feng Junxiao ignored him and walked straight to Fang Qingbai, looking down at the stubborn old man.

"Master Fang, are you satisfied with today's results?"

Kill people and kill your heart.

Feng Junxiao stared at Fang Qingbai with an aggressive gaze, as if he saw his prey, and his every move was full of wildness.

"Master Fang."

Xiao Yi stepped forward and wanted to help the man up, but was also rejected by Fang Qingbai.

He supported himself on the ground and stood up shakily.

"Recently, there have been numerous assassination attempts in the capital, but none of them have resulted in anything—"

Feng Junxiao turned and glanced at Xiao Yi with an unfriendly look, "As the prefect, aren't you sitting too firmly in your seat?"

Xiao Yi smiled, "Your Majesty, I am deeply troubled. I have been feeling unwell recently, and I have indeed neglected my duties. I hope the Regent will not blame me. I will definitely give the Regent a satisfactory answer regarding this matter today."

This is just for fooling others, Feng Junxiao won't believe it.

"Where's Wen Qingzhi?"

Feng Junxiao asked.

Zhang He said, "Reporting to the Regent, Lin Yi encountered the enemy and was seriously injured. The young lady and Chang Lao are treating him inside the house."

As he was speaking, the door was opened from the inside and Chang Baicao came out with a few things, his white coat stained with blood.

"Lin Yi lost too much blood and needs a blood transfusion."

He looked at the people around him and said, "Please lend me someone, Regent!"

Feng Yunxiao raised an eyebrow. The term blood transfusion was not new. Military doctors had mentioned it before, and some people had tried it before, but it had never been successful...

Wen Qingzhi, can you do it?

Thinking of this, Feng Yunxiao gave a few glances to the people around him. The other party immediately drew a knife and was about to cut his wrist, but was stopped by Chang Baicao.

"No need to cut your wrists, I'll take your blood for a match."

As he spoke, he asked several people to stretch out their hands. He took blood samples from each of them, asked for their code names one by one, and marked them.

After collecting the blood, he returned to the house amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

Not long after, he came out again, called the two people aside, and took blood again.

They didn't feel any pain when the tiny needle was inserted, and they didn't know how Chang Baicao did it. They just saw their blood flowing out and all into a small bag.

Chang Baicao said, "Lin Yi needs more blood. These few people can collect it first. I will come back for matching later. Also, about that Mo Ya, I will talk to you later."

Black Crow has rare Rh-negative blood, commonly known as panda blood.

Mo Ya, who was hiding in the crowd, was startled when he heard someone calling him.

I wanted to ask why, but there were so many people around and I didn't have time to ask. Chang Baicao ran into the house again.

Not long after, he came out to draw blood again. He said, "Mo Ya's blood type is special. I want to save it for emergency use."

He looked at Feng Yunxiao and said, "If everything is fine, have him come to the house once every six months to have his blood drawn."

Many of what he said at this moment were terms he learned from Wen Qingzhi, and most people present could not understand them.

However, he was known as the Ghost Doctor, and his actions were naturally crazy, so no one thought there was anything wrong.

Chang Baicao went back and forth several times, bloody checked all the people that Feng Junxiao had lent to Wen Qingzhi, and registered them one by one.

Two hours later, Wen Qingzhi and the other person came out.

She looked pale and looked unsteady when she came out.

"Lin Yi is fine, Regent, but I need your help to look after this place."

As she spoke, her eyes went dark, her body swayed a few times and she fell forward.

"Azhi!"

Xiao Yi called her and was about to go forward to make contact, but Feng Junxiao got there first.

Feng Junxiao caught her with one hand, using the force to hold her in his arms. Seeing her eyelids twitching a few times, he raised the corners of his lips.

She can pretend.

"master!"

"girl!"

Chang Baicao and Zhang He became worried.

Feng Yunxiao simply picked the man up and turned to leave. "Guard this place well. If anything goes wrong, you will be beheaded."
