Chapter 598 Prison Visit 2
Never mind, eating is the most important thing.
As soon as I put a piece of meat in my mouth, Meng Lan arrived.
"Brother Fang, sister-in-law, you haven't been tortured, right?"
The little girl's face was full of worry. Her senior brother cared so much about her younger brother's family. If he knew that she didn't take good care of them, he would probably blame her.
"It's okay, Miss Meng. Why are you here? Is it safe?" Fang Tong couldn't help but look around.
Qian Fengping also stood up: "Miss Meng, this matter is probably directed at my second brother, General Meng. If you come here now, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. They have already started. Whether I come or not, the Meng family is already in trouble." Meng Lan frowned slightly and forced a smile to comfort them.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it and find a way to get you out."
When Fang Tong heard this, he didn't hesitate.
We are all in the same boat, and nothing can happen to anyone.
He only warned: "Miss Meng, please don't tell your second brother about this. He is on the battlefield and cannot be distracted."
He remembered that his second brother had signed a military order to go to the border.
If you are too eager to save people and come back without caring about anything, you will lose your head.
Meng Lan understood.
She took a purse from the maid and stuffed it into Qian Fengping's hand.
"Sister-in-law, please keep it for now. You may need it in prison."
Qian Fengping declined: "No, we brought it."
The couple came to Beijing with silver.
The two were afraid of losing their money and were uneasy about keeping it in the house, so Qian Fengping sewed a pocket on Fang Tongli's trousers and put most of the money in it.
Some of it is sewn into the sleeves, and a few are hung in the purse.
"Sister-in-law, keep it. It costs a lot in this place."
Meng Lan insisted, and Qian Fengping had no choice but to accept it.
Then she left. She wanted to save people, so she had to hurry out and do something.
As soon as Meng Lan left, someone else came.
The person who came was a man dressed like a butler.
He bowed towards the two of them and introduced himself: "My surname is Zhou, and I am the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion."
"From the house of Mr. Zhou, the great doctor?" Fang Tong's eyes lit up.
"That's right, that's my old man." Butler Zhou nodded.
He lowered his voice and said, "Time is running out, Lord Fang. Our master said he will help with this matter, but I'm afraid we still have to rely on the Meng family."
"Is there anything in particular you need us to do?"
For example, suspects? Some evidence? Or perhaps they need to cooperate with the Meng family?
Fang Tong shook his head. It happened so suddenly that he was not prepared at all and had nothing.
It was Qian Fengping who remembered it.
She felt around her man's waist and found a tassel.
"This was given to us by Mr. Zhou before we came to Beijing. He said we could use it if needed."
But they don’t know how to use it.
Butler Zhou quickly accepted it and bowed again, "I'll report this to the master right away. I'll come back in the evening to bring you two dinner."
Delivering food?
Fang Tong wanted to say no, they were eating well.
But Butler Zhou had already left in a hurry.
The Fang Tong couple looked at each other, then sat down, sighed, and started eating.
"Well, this roast chicken is too salty. It's not as good as yours, my wife."
"The stir-fried vegetables are a bit old and not very fresh." Qian Fengping also said.
The jailer in secret was amused.
They asked the cook to make this specially, and these two chose it.
Do you have any awareness of going to jail?
Do you really think you are going to a restaurant by yourself?
After they had finished eating, the jailer appeared and took the food away with a stern face.
Fang Tong tried to strike up a conversation again, but was ignored.
He even paid the money and looked at the jailer with bright eyes, but he just left.
Fang Tong was a little confused, and then he saw the jailer coming back quickly.
He took two new quilts and an oil lamp, put them down and left.
"Maybe he is the jailer in the capital, he is easier to talk to." Qian Fengping didn't believe what she said.
I'm locked up now, feeling uneasy and just chatting nonsense.
Fang Tong sighed, feeling somewhat guilty: "Wife, you have suffered with me."
"Nonsense, it's only natural for a husband and wife to share hardships. What's this? Are you treating me as an outsider by saying this?" Qian Fengping snorted and turned her back to him.
When Fang Tong saw this, he quickly coaxed his wife.
Something like you are my wife, it’s my fault, my wife is the most generous and so on.
The man in black in the cell opposite lay down with a silent sigh.
After this matter is over, shouldn't he get married? However, being a secret guard is a life-threatening job, so it is difficult to get married.
In fact, he was in jail, nominally imprisoned, but actually providing close protection for Lord Fang and his wife.
Otherwise, why would we lock him up as a secret guard who bravely stood up for justice?
The cell was dark and I had no idea what time it was.
After a while, footsteps were heard again.
Still stopped at the door of their cell.
"Brother Fang, hey, what's going on with you? How did you do it?" Wu Dongjia was anxious.
Aren't they just going to separate for a short while and go back to pack their luggage to leave Beijing?
How could he cause a death and end up in jail?
Fang Tong mumbled, "I've offended someone. By the way, Brother Wu, your driver..."
"Xiao Luzi is loyal and devoted, and his family members all work for my family."
Wu Dongjia understood it immediately.
He also told them: "The servant who raised the horses at home was sent away by the government, and the servant who was responsible for feeding the horses at Wanbao Tower was also arrested."
Fang Tong blinked. Was he sure that the horse was out of control and that he was not deliberately letting the horse go?
Good news.
Qian Fengping said, "Brother Wu, if you are delivering a letter to Huai'an Prefecture, please give my daughter a message to let her know she is safe."
Wu Dongjia nodded, then asked in confusion, "Don't you need to hide it from the child?"
The couple said no.
It can't be hidden. Their daughter is so smart and lives in Mr. Zhou's house, she will definitely know.
"Okay, by the way, I asked the servants to pack two changes of clothes for you."
Wu Dong's servant hurriedly handed in a large bundle.
Fang Tong took it and reminded: "Brother Wu, please don't come to see us. This matter is a bit difficult to talk about. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."
"You can come to see us now, which means you recognize me as your brother."
Wu Dongjia is a man who listens to advice.
He vaguely guessed that Brother Fang was an official now, and anyone who had the ability to plot against him had to be an official, and a high-ranking official at that.
He was a small businessman, and it was pointless for him to get involved, as he was just delivering food to people.
Before leaving, he added, "By the way, Wanbaolou has investigated the substitution of soybeans for the competition."
"It was a waiter who accepted benefits from Rongji Dim Sum. He was the nephew of the former owner and wanted revenge, and it was profitable, so..."
Needless to say, they all understand the rest.
Qian Fengping frowned: "It was Master Rong's idea. Does that Mr. Xing know about it?"
"Mr. Xing was invited to the Eighth Prince's residence as a guest. Rong Ji said that the shopkeeper made the decision on his own and Mr. Rong was completely unaware of it." Wu Dongjia replied.
No one believes this.
It is somewhat believable to say that Mr. Xing was unaware of the situation.
As for what Uncle Rong said, let’s put it this way, if the young master of Wanbaolou had not investigated it personally, Rong Ji would at most have sent a waiter to take the blame.
It was to give face to Wan Rufeng that the shopkeeper was allowed to take the responsibility.
