If he had known that they had this kind of relationship, he would never have agreed to write that letter of recommendation for Zheng Baosu!
In the end, I got myself involved!
But now that things have come to this, what's the use of regretting?
When Xie Anbai heard this, he was surprised at first, and then looked at Xie Anjun.
He said with a half-smile, "I never thought that Lord Fan and Lord Zheng would have such a relationship... No wonder Lord Fan is so concerned about Lord Zheng's affairs. I guess Lord Fan's decision to cooperate with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was a well-thought-out decision. Lord, you really kept it a secret."
Xie Anjun is going crazy!
"I don't!"
Xie Anbai showed a surprised look, "Nothing? Didn't he join hands with Lord Fan and his son to make a profit, or didn't——"
“None at all!”
Xie Anjun's voice was sharp. He had completely lost his mind in his rage. He pointed at Xie Anbai and cursed loudly.
"Xie Anbai! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Don't you just want to take this opportunity to throw dirty water on me so that you can step on me?"
"Why do you think so?" Xie Anbai tilted his head, his expression even more puzzled. "I don't think I said anything just now? Wasn't it Lord Zheng who accused you of being involved in this matter? He admitted it himself. And Lord Fan... He has been planning for his own son for a long time. Since he chose you, he must trust you, right?"
"you!"
Xie Anjun almost fainted from anger.
But he was also unable to speak out his pain - who would have thought that Fan Chengzhuo had hidden such a shocking secret!
Xie Anbai restrained his expression and spoke in a light tone.
"If it weren't for you, an ordinary person with no achievements, how could you have climbed to the position of Deputy Lieutenant General of Jingyuan so quickly? I remember that father had handed over the military power ten years ago and no longer asked about military affairs, right?"
All of Xie Anjun's words were blocked by this sentence.
His face was alternating between blue and white, and his expression changed dramatically.
Emperor Mu Wu didn't even look at him.
If it was Xie Pei who was here, he would have more concerns, but Xie Anjun... was he worthy?
Emperor Mu Wu looked down at Fan Chengzhuo and said, "So, you did all those things?"
Fan Chengzhuo's words were like taking all the blame on himself.
It seems to have nothing to do with Zheng Baosu.
Sure enough, Fan Chengzhuo lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
Emperor Mu Wu sneered, "I didn't realize before that you love your son so much."
If it weren't for Zheng Baosu, Fan Chengzhuo would never admit these things even if he died.
Even at this moment, when Zheng Baosu exposed him, he had no resentment and chose to take full responsibility.
If it weren't for the fact that he was treasonous, it would really be "touching".
Fan Chengzhuo's back stiffened, but he couldn't utter another word.
In fact, he also knew that if things had turned out this way, both he and Zheng Baosu would have no way out.
But he still wanted to ask.
Even if it's just for the debts of the past years.
Everyone fell into dead silence, except Zheng Baosu who was stunned for a long time.
He shook his head subconsciously, "No, that's not the case..."
How did Fan Chengzhuo suddenly become his father! ?
Zheng Baosu tried desperately to deny it, but countless images kept flashing through his mind, forcing him to waver.
At this moment, a very light sigh suddenly came from the side.
It’s Ye Chutang.
She whispered softly, as if she was talking to herself, but Zheng Baosu could hear it clearly.
"Lord Fan's body has become like this, but he still entered the palace. It is clear what he is thinking. It's a pity... This kindness will not be rewarded."
Zheng Baosu's heart suddenly shook!
He raised his head stiffly, looking at the haggard and thin figure, and for the first time he hesitated.
Could it be... that he was really wrong?
He was filled with anger and fear before, but at this moment, Ye Chutang's words made him suddenly clear-headed.
——If it weren’t for him, Fan Chengzhuo would have no need to come here today!
Maybe...his original intention and apology were indeed genuine?
But if it was really for his own good, why did you let him embark on this path in the first place?
Given Fan Chengzhuo's status and means, it would be nice to just assign him an idle job and let him live a carefree life.
Why--
“Why do you do that?”
Emperor Mu Wu asked coldly,
"Did I treat you badly? Or did someone encourage you and promise you a better future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was silent.
yes!
There is no reason for Fan Chengzhuo to do those things!
He has been very successful in his career these years, what could he be so upset about that he would commit such a crime of confiscating his family's property and exterminating his entire clan! ?
Fan Chengzhuo's body trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and spoke word by word.
"It was all because of my greed and lack of reverence that this disaster occurred—"
A ridiculous expression suddenly appeared on Emperor Mu Wu's face.
"Fan Chengzhuo, I am not yet so senile and confused."
Without the temptation of greater benefits and a stronger organization behind the scenes, Fan Chengzhuo would never do such a thing!
"Even at this moment, would you rather sacrifice your life and the life of your only bloodline to protect your master?"
Emperor Muwu said, his eyes fell on his forearm.
"Or... were you also coerced and had no choice but to do it? If you tell the truth, I may be able to let you off."
Fan Chengzhuo's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
“No, no…”
"You tell me!"
Zheng Baosu finally managed to catch his breath, stretched his neck and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Someone must have ordered you to do this, right? Confess now! Was it Wazhen or someone else... Why are you still hiding it for them when you are in this state?!"
Zheng Baosu believed that there was someone behind Fan Chengzhuo.
Emperor Mu Wu said that as long as he was willing to confess, everything could be salvaged!
What on earth is he hesitating about!?
Fan Chengzhuo started coughing violently and for the first time he looked at Zheng Baosu in a stern manner.
“Stop, stop cough cough cough——!”
Zheng Baosu also became anxious.
"Who is more important than our lives? Look at yourself! They have already made up their minds to kill you! Do you want to sacrifice me as well? "
The more he spoke, the more annoyed he became.
"What debt? What compensation? There is no such person in the world! Even if I die! In the underworld, I will never recognize you!"
"you--"
Fan Chengzhuo was so angry that he almost fainted.
Amidst the chaos, the eldest princess finally spoke again.
"Since none of them can explain it clearly, then... An Jun, why don't you tell it?"
Xie Anjun, who was suddenly called out, shuddered.
"W-what?"
The eldest princess looked at him and smiled slightly, but there was no smile on her face.
She said calmly:
"Just now, both the father and son mentioned you, so you should know the most about what's going on here, right?" (End of this chapter)
