Chapter 365 Late Night Visitor

This matter might concern the life and death of the Fan family. Seeing that Lord Fan did not speak for a long time, many people began to get anxious.

Someone stood up and suggested, "Since we've confirmed that the person is with the Regent, why not send some people to the town hall and grab him out!"

The man opposite him sneered, "Brother also said that the person is in the Regent's Mansion. Many assassins who enter that place will never return. You are lucky not to give someone a handle. Do you still want to steal him?"

Everyone fell silent again, filled with sorrow.

At this time, Lord Fan finally spoke, "Kill him."

Everyone was startled, and some nodded, "That woman surnamed Lu really can't be kept. If she hadn't gone to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint, there wouldn't have been all these troubles later!"

Lord Fan raised his eyelids, and a gleam of light flashed in his old eyes beneath his wrinkles.

"I mean kill them all."

"If she dies, the one in the jail will die too."

Someone was surprised, "But he is not you..."

Elder Fan's eyes were sharp, but he smiled kindly, "Me what?"

The man lowered his head hastily, not daring to look directly at her, "No, nothing."

Fan Dongping was the illegitimate son of Lord Fan who was raised in Nanyi County.

Most people in the Fan family only heard about it for the first time through rumors on the streets today.

I'm afraid only Lord Fan and his two most trusted sons know what exactly happened.

Looking at Lord Fan's attitude at this moment, even though everyone had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask more questions.

Elder Fan continued, "Don't forget the people from the Nanyi County Office who are also in the prison."

"Also, the people who escorted Lu to the capital can be put aside for now. I will meet him at the morning court tomorrow. If he can be used by me, that's fine. If he doesn't know what's good for him, I will be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and it will be easy to deal with him."

"The only one left is a foreign merchant and a mere peasant girl. Just kill them if they are of low status."

Lord Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled grimly.

"If you dare to ruin my business, I will watch. If this woman dies, will our regent, who is not interested in worldly affairs, feel sad?"

The rumor has already spread, and it is difficult for the Fan family to distance themselves from Fan Dongping.

Since it cannot be reversed, just erase everything.

As long as all the people involved are dead, even if the emperor is suspicious and the regent wants to investigate.

Without any evidence, what can they do to the Fan family in the end?

As for Fan Dongping, he is a lunatic who has been spoiled.

He didn't even know who he was.

Even if the Regent pried open his mouth and extracted a confession, the contents would only be about the evil deeds that Fan Dongping had committed.

At the Prince Regent's Office, Mu Nanzhao looked at the last ray of sunset glow remaining in the sky.

At the junction of dawn and dusk, the sky is dim and all the evil spirits are ready to move.

A secret guard stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, the Fan family has made a move."

Mu Nanzhao's upturned phoenix eyes showed a hint of sneer.

This Lord Fan is really old.

Do you actually think that you can be a step ahead of the enemy this time and eliminate all disadvantages first?

Innocent!

Mu Nanzhao walked towards the main entrance of the town hall and said, "You guys stay here tonight."

"There's no need to leave any alive."

The secret guard clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

Outside the high walls of Xiao He Mansion, Mu Nanzhao stood for a long time.

According to the original plan, he would not take action against the Fan family so quickly.

But who made the Fan family find Gu Xixi?

According to Fan Dongping's confession, a mysterious person revealed Gu Xixi's whereabouts to him.

Although Fan Dongping did not see the man's true appearance, he could not stop Mu Nanzhao from being suspicious.

Someone was sent to follow the clues and found out that the person who met Fan Dongping was indeed a manager of the Fan Mansion.

This shows that the Fan family is still quite capable.

Even though Mu Nanzhao had previously ordered people to conceal as much trace of Gu Xixi and her group along the way and into Beijing as possible.

After such a long time, they finally found Gu Xixi.

It seems that Gu Xixi's residence in Xiao He Mansion and her relationship with He Jinglan, as well as An Qinghe and Jiang Mingyuan, are all known to Lord Fan.

This night is destined to be restless.

The He Mansion is guarded by many secret guards and is separated from the Regent's Palace by a wall, so it cannot be safer.

Anqing and living here are not a problem.

When Jiang Mingyuan left the Xingyuan Banquet in the afternoon, he declined several invitations and continued to stay in the inn.

Although the Fan family may not dare to take action against the new top scholar immediately.

Mu Nanzhao still sent people to protect him secretly.

Firstly, this man was Gu Xixi's cousin after all, and he was murdered when he was only in high school. Gu Xixi must be very sad.

Secondly, Jiang Mingyuan is indeed a talented person.

Knowing that He Jinghui had left Beijing to go to another county to kill locusts, he would not be able to return tonight.

If a man from another family chooses to visit at this time, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the women in the mansion if anyone knows about it.

Mu Nanzhao hesitated again and again, but ultimately did not go forward to knock on the door.

As if he had made up his mind, he turned around and strode back to the Regent's Palace...

Yuzhu Courtyard.

He Jinglan couldn't sleep, so she turned over and looked at Gu Xixi with her eyes closed, and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Gu Xixi hummed vaguely.

He Jinglan smiled, "Hey, did you say that Jiang Mingyuan's apricot blossoms have been sent out now?"

Gu Xixi said sleepily, "I don't know."

"He's already sent her away, so it's just a matter of me calling her cousin."

He Jinglan sighed, "How many people have their eyes on him, openly or secretly, waiting to snatch him away."

"They say that those who are close to water get to see the moon first. Don't you feel anything?"

Gu Xixi asked, "How does it feel?"

He Jinglan laughed, "It's like the feeling of having the good things around you suddenly being fought over by a group of people."

Gu Xixi still just wanted to sleep, humming, "Oh, if I give Brother Zichu to you, will you be troubled about whether to choose him or Meng Chengping?"

He Jinglan said without thinking, "Of course I won't be distressed! Am I the kind of person who is wavering?"

Gu Xixi pulled the corner of her mouth, "Why are you asking me then?"

Recently, the relationship between He Jinglan and Meng Chengping has made great progress, and they are just one step away from breaking through the last layer of window paper and reconciling.

Of course, Gu Xixi knew all the details very well.

Speaking of her sweetheart, He Jinglan didn't know what she was thinking about, and she just smiled foolishly.

After a while, she suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Xixi, and excitedly rushed over to shake her vigorously, "Xixi, don't fall asleep yet! You mean you are not wavering, then how about you towards Mu Nanzhao..."

"Ah!!" Suddenly there was a scream outside.

He Jinglan was stunned, and Gu Xixi also opened her eyes, no longer sleepy.

Zi Yan said from outside, "Don't panic, ladies. Guang Zhu just went out to change the water."

"I went out to take a look. I think a wild cat jumped out from somewhere and scared her."

Zi Yan pushed the door open and went out as she spoke.

Soon, Zi Yan and Guang Zhu walked into the inner room together.

Both of them had strange expressions, and Guangzhu looked like he was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

He Jinglan asked, "What's going on?"

Zi Yan was a little embarrassed to say, "This... a guest is coming."

He Jinglan asked in confusion, "What kind of guests are coming so late? My brother is not at home."

"Also, why did Guangzhu scream just now?"

Guangzhu's face flushed red, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Because the guest climbed over the wall into our Yuzhu Courtyard, and when I turned around, I saw a dark shadow swooping down from above."

"I screamed in fright, and then I saw clearly that it was the Regent."
