When Fu Zhen returned to the house, he immediately sent someone to the Liang family to tell Liang Chen what had just happened. When he heard the reply, he realized that Liang Chen had also ambushed his bodyguard Liang Ting in the Chu family, so he had already forgotten what had just happened. Informed.

This will make things easier.

Liang Chen went to take care of the situation at Dali Temple. Fu Zhen was still staring at Xu Yin, while Chu Yu was recovering from his injuries for the time being. There was no rush until he really had the chance to return to Princess Rong.

Fu Zhen had a screen erected between his bed and Pei Zhan's couch. If he hadn't been accustomed to having maids accompany him at night since he was a child, he would have had to have Zi Yan and the others stay by his side.

Fortunately, there was no talk this night.

Pei Zhan was quite honest, and there was no movement after he lay down. It was only at the third watch that there was a rustling sound. It meant getting up early to go to court.

When Fu Zhen got up at five o'clock, Guo Song was already waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Fu Zhen walked out: "What's the news?"

Guo Song said: "The assassin in Dali Temple was silenced."

"Did you really succeed?"

Fu Zhen asked while rolling up his sleeves.

Guo Song said "Yeah", "But he's not completely dead."

Fu Zhen, who was about to pick up the stick and walk around a few times, stopped the stick again: "Can you stop breathing heavily when you speak?"

Guo Song then said: "We alerted Dali Temple in time and set up an ambush. When they came to kill them, their weapons went astray. They were supposed to hit the heart, but they missed by two inches. The person was seriously injured, but he is not dead yet."

Fu Zhen said: "Is there any treatment?"

"Now that Dali Temple has taken over, as long as he can be saved, he should not be allowed to die. But it also depends on whether his life is serious."

Fu Zhen took a breath and thought for a moment, then said, "What about Xu Yin's side?"

"There were four people who came to assassinate last night. When they retreated, they escaped unscathed. But they were intercepted by Liang Ting halfway, and two of them were injured. However, their skills were very powerful. From Liang Ting's description, they should He is more skilled than the assassin in Dali Temple."

Fu Zhen frowned. "Where on earth did this person named Xu find such masters?"

Guo Song said: "Generally, a guard with relatively unified martial arts skills like this cannot be assembled in a short time, and must be maintained for a long time."

Fu Zhen agrees.

She understands these very well.

However, the guards around Xu Yin became more powerful than the others, which made his doubts become more and more prominent.

He was just a high official in the imperial court, and there was no need to support such powerful bodyguards. At first glance, this kind of animal needs to do some special tasks for its owner.

And what mission did Xu Yin raise by raising them?

"Where's Zhang?" She suddenly remembered.

"Since the interrogation failed last night, there has been no movement from Zhang until now."

Fu Zhen pondered for a moment, then waved the stick in his hand: "Xu Yin hit the wall one after another, and he will definitely not take action rashly again. I guess he will turn to secretly investigate the masked man that Chu Yu said. You let people Keep an eye on Lian Ruan, the person who is going to do this must be Lian. When the time is right, why not give him some clues to seduce him and see if we can let them reveal some of their flaws?"

Guo Song lowered his head: "Yes!"

Fu Zhen swung his stick and was about to perform a few more moves. When he looked up in the distance, he saw Pei Mu in military uniform walking through the small garden. He suddenly remembered that he was going south and passed through Huizhou, so he quickly set up his stick and ran back to the house. : "Hurry up and pass the breakfast! I'm going to find my mother after eating!"

……

Mrs. Ning has been at Wanbin Tower all morning.

Mrs. Pei originally wanted to come together, but the queen suddenly came and invited her into the palace, so she sent Fu Zhen to come alone first.

When looking through the account books, Mrs. Ning heard Fu Zhen tell her the purpose of her visit, and she was really moved: "Well, your grandfather still has many old friends in Huizhou. In recent years, he has not had time to send people to visit them one by one. Mr. Pei Now that the general is gone, he can help me a lot."

Fu Zhen said: "It's a pity that he has official duties and doesn't have much time to stay. I'm afraid he won't be able to go there one by one."

"Don't be afraid," Mrs. Ning said, "There is a town called Sanhe in Huizhou. There is a member of the town named Feng. He is your grandfather's sworn brother. General Pei only needs to pay a visit to the Feng family."

Fu Zhen said: "I'm thinking it wouldn't be a problem to go to two or three families, but it's not necessarily just one Feng family."

"No," Mrs. Ning shook her head, "Let others take care of you. The Feng family must not take it lightly."

"Is it possible that Member Feng also has a huge fortune and is closely related to our family's business?"

"No," Mrs. Ning put down her pen when she said this, and said seriously: "The Feng family is naturally also a wealthy businessman with a strong family background, but in addition to being your grandfather's sworn brother, he is also benevolent to our family.

"Your grandfather suddenly fell ill six years ago. It was Uncle Feng who helped stabilize all the shops in the Ning family. When the family property was finally passed to me, there was not a single mistake.

"You have to know that in that situation, even if our shopkeeper is loyal, it's hard to prevent someone from secretly eyeing us. It's very easy for them to create a stumbling block."

Fu Zhen agreed: "Those who can think of us wholeheartedly at that moment are indeed kind."

Mrs. Ning nodded.

Fu Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Yes, my grandfather also passed away six years ago."

Mrs. Ning opened her mouth to reply, but when the words came to her lips, she paused, nodded again and said, "Exactly, a lot of things happened to you and me that year."

Fu Zhen's remaining memory is more profound about the time when Mr. Ning Bochi passed away. He left in June of that year. He was only in his early fifties that year. He had always been in good health, but he suddenly fell ill in April of that year.

"What is my grandfather's disease?"

The old man's funeral arrangements were all arranged by Mrs. Ning and the shopkeepers. Fu Zhen is not very clear about these.

What's more, it turned out that she was in poor health, and the old man refused to let her go see him because he didn't want to get over her illness.

Mrs. Ning frowned: "He fell ill after an accident when he was picking up goods at the dock. The doctor couldn't tell what it was, but he often fainted suddenly and then vomited. Doctors from all over the country called in After that, I tried all kinds of medicines, but none of them worked.”

"Vomiting?" Fu Zhen stood up, "Could it be that he was poisoned?"

"How could it be poisoning?" Mrs. Ning looked at her, "No one has doubted this, but if it is poisoning, it should not be delayed for two months. If someone is poisoned and murdered, they will definitely fight quickly. Quick decision, don’t you think?”

Fu Zhen couldn't refute this.

Indeed, no one would be so sloppy in poisoning.

Besides, what was the point of investing so much time in poisoning him?

In the end, every penny of the Ning family's property was passed to Mrs. Ning's hands.

Besides family property, what else can the Ning family have to gain?

"My lord, Shopkeeper Su said that there are noble people to entertain today, and he would like a jar of sapphire wine to entertain the guests..."

There was a cashier at the door holding a note and knocking on the door.

Mrs. Ning greeted him to come in. Fu Zhen stopped talking and took some tea to drink.

His eyes drifted downstairs inadvertently, and he was soon attracted by a familiar figure.

She put down the tea cup, leaned on the window sill and looked down for a moment, then turned and walked out of the door.

Mrs. Ning said from behind: "Hey, where are you going?"

"Come on if you go!"

Fu Zhen answered without looking back, and then quickly went down the stairs.

Yang Tong, who was guarding below, saw this and rushed over. Just as he was about to ask her if she wanted to prepare a car, he saw her turn on her toes after leaving the courtyard gate and go to the private room on the second floor on the east side.

Yang Tong asked: "Young madam, what happened?"

Fu Zhen stopped under the Podocarpus and pointed to a box in front of him: "Guess who I just saw going in?"

Yang Tong was a little confused: "Who is it?"

"He Qunying."

"Oh."

Yang Tong suddenly realized.

This person has not been mentioned for a long time. Ever since Xu Yin secretly controlled the murder of Chu Yu, He Qunying, who beat his wife to death, has been given the opportunity to be re-elected.

Later, the unlucky Zhang Shicheng pestered him for a while, but in the end Zhang Shicheng lost and He Qunying also stopped. According to recent news, I heard that he and his fathers He Huan and Xu Yin have been in close contact.

He thought for a moment and said: "Young man, go and hear who he is meeting?"

Fu Zhen crossed his arms and said, "No need to go, I know who he is meeting."

Yang Tong was surprised: "Who is it?"

Fu Zhen looked at him: "Your master!"

Yang Tong opened his mouth a little wider: "General?"

Why did Pei Zhan get together privately with He Qunying?

The last time his father He Huan invited Pei Zhan, Pei Zhan didn't like to give face to him!

Fu Zhen hummed twice more: "Not only is there a 'general', but there is also a 'miss'!"

"Young madam, what do you mean by this? Why can't my subordinates understand?" Yang Tong scratched his head.

Fu Zhen raised his chin towards the other end of the verandah: "Look, what is that if not 'Miss'?"

Yang Tong looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a servant-looking man leading two singers holding pipa and jade flutes. The destination they were walking to was exactly the house that Fu Zhen was staring at. Directions to the box!

Yang Tong was surprised: "The general got together privately with someone like He Qunying, and even invited an actor?"

Doesn't he want a wife? !

Although Fu Zhen always revealed that the person she hated the most was Xu Yin, she had never given a good evaluation to a beast like He Qunying who killed his wife.

A grown man would actually use violence against his wife and beat her to death. What kind of good person could he be?

Pei Zhan hasn't even gotten into Fu Zhen's bed yet, yet he dares to call him an actor!

Brother Xuan also said that he would not be able to get ahead in ten years. If he continues like this, he might not be able to get ahead in his lifetime!

Yang Tong couldn't bear it anymore: "Young madam, wait until I go in to explore!"

"Wait!"

Fu Zhen grabbed him and his eyes widened: "Go find me some clothes. I want to see for myself how the General drinks wine and listens to music!"

……

Isn't it easy to pretend to be a handyman on your own property? Fu Zhen is embarrassed to pretend to be a man, but it is not a problem to pretend to be a lady who warms wine and serves food!

The middle-aged woman's hair was pulled up in a bun, her head was wrapped in a gray handkerchief, and all makeup and powder were wiped off her face. She looked so pure and simple. Then she put on coarse clothes. Who could recognize her?

The man in the side room said, "Why hasn't the wine come yet?"

Fu Zhen took the tray and entered the door: "Here comes the wine!"

The moment she entered the door and raised her eyes, she took in the whole room. On both sides of the Eight Immortals table, Pei Zhan and He Qunying were sitting opposite each other. Refreshments were already placed on the bank, and the dishes that had just been brought up were being cooked one after another. Set up the round table at the other end.

The two actors who had just come in were saluting these two people.

As expected of this, her little body bowed down gracefully, as graceful as a slender willow in spring.

After bowing, the two began to play the instruments.

He Qunying asked Pei Zhan, "What do Minzhi think of the voices of these two people?"

Pei Zhan looked away from Mrs. Wenjiu, who had her back turned to him, and his sullen face suddenly relaxed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand these things, but I believe in your vision."

He Qunying murmured: "What kind of insight can I have? I don't often go to the romantic field. I just learned some things from them."

After speaking, he waved to his servants: "General Pei has no objection, please stay."

When the actor next to him heard this, his face suddenly turned red. Both of them bowed in the direction of Pei Zhan: "The slave family thanks General Pei for his kindness."

He Qunying laughed: "Look, my cousin is also a waiter for others. You have a better child than me. They worship you more than you did just now."

The faces of the actors turned redder.

He Qunying said: "Okay. General Pei is not the bad guy you have seen. Play your music well."

After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle handed by Fu Zhen and poured a glass for Pei Zhan.

Fu Zhen would not be stupid enough to hang around in front of them and be noticed. After handing over the wine bottle, she stepped back and stood outside the curtain, listening to the sounds coming from the other side.

"I don't understand Qu'er. Why don't you tell me why you coaxed me here today?"

Pei Zhan picked up the cup and quietly sniffed the remaining rouge fragrance on the cup wall.

He remembered that Liang Ning rarely had such a fragrance. From what Lao Qi and the others said, it wasn't that she didn't like it, but that she didn't know how to do it in the past. After being teased twice by those so-called ladies, she was too lazy to behave.

The original Fu Zhen was an authentic boudoir lady who was proficient in rouge pollen and how to apply makeup, so now she is also very good at doing these things.

Today's rouge smelled a little like lotus. It turned out that she liked this smell. I don’t know if the flower powder in the palace has the smell of lotus?

"If I didn't coax you, how could you appreciate this honor?" He Qunying said, "I'm crazy how much older you are. Although we didn't play together when we were young, your brother and I were really familiar with each other. Now that your brother is gone, I After all, I still regard you as my younger brother.

"It's just that you are alienated from us, the children of the He family. I know that I am not worthy, but I have the guts to ask you for something today."

Pei Zhan said: "You and I are of equal importance. What I can do, how can it be difficult for you to do it? If He Shibo hears what you said, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."
