Chapter 42 The child is getting older and is difficult to deal with
"I have plenty of time, and my guards have already guarded everything outside. Even if you have martial arts, there is no way you can escape. If you don't want to tell me, then I will stay with you until the end."

Pei Zhan spoke slowly, then slowly turned his face to the side and took a sip of tea.

Fu Zhen felt that he was not so cute when he was a child.

If she knew he was so difficult to deal with now, she should have rubbed his bun face every day when he was a child, and then painted ten big turtles on his face!

But since he is like this, avoiding it is not an option.

Moreover, he is a great hero who has just made great achievements in the northwest. It would be no good for such a high-ranking person to be targeted by him.

The most important thing is that she is unwilling to create misunderstandings between her and the Liang family over this matter.

So she said: "General, what I told you that night was all true."

Pei Zhan frowned and stared at her.

Fu Zhen continued: "I do have some connection with Miss Liang Gu, but the person who has direct contact with her is not me, but my mother."

Pei Zhan narrowed his eyes.

"That's right," Fu Zhen said sincerely, "It is well known that the general's nature is as beautiful as jade. There are some things that should not be said casually to the outside world, but because of this misunderstanding with the general, I had to tell the truth.

"You must not know that one night before the accident, Miss Liang's family encountered something strange in the alley next to the Liang family. When she was trying to escape, my mother reached out to help her."

Pei Zhan sat up straight unconsciously. He looked at Fuzhen with burning eyes, as if he wanted to burn two holes in her body. He also clenched his hands and seemed to be exerting force.

Fu Zhen didn't expect that he would be so solemn after hearing this, but his next words made her regret it.

"Which night? What weird thing happened?"

He spoke each word very softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Fu Zhen said: "It was a murder that happened in an alley. However, the general must have never heard of it, because apart from Miss Liang's aunt and my mother, perhaps only the murderer himself knew about this matter. Afterwards, there was no trace of anything in the streets or alleys. Rumors about this murder.”

This matter is indeed secretive and strange, and must not be disclosed casually, but first of all, the Pei family's family tradition is trustworthy, and Pei Zhan and Liang Chen have known each other since childhood. The two have fought bloody battles in the northwest for many years, and now their friendship is getting stronger and stronger. If he is profound, then Pei Zhan's character should also be reliable.

If Fu Zhen cannot show sincerity to explain her strange behavior in his eyes, then what happened outside the Liang Mansion will not end.

It is precisely because of the weirdness of this matter that its weight is revealed.

Of course, he may not believe it, because even she herself said that outsiders had no knowledge of it, which meant that she might have fabricated the matter.

And even if she knew that Xu Yin knew about it, Xu Yin had repeatedly asked her for the murder weapon, and there must be something behind it. Even if she found him, he would not admit it.

The key is that Pei Zhan was on an expedition to the northwest at that time, and he didn't know what was happening in the capital.

But besides telling the truth about the relationship between Liang Ning and Mrs. Fu, she had no other way to explain her behavior.

"What day is it?"

Pei Zhan's voice sounded again.

Fu Zhen paused for a moment and said, "On the first three nights before her death."

She didn't expect that he actually listened.

At the beginning of the Northwest Rebellion, the enemy took advantage of the not long after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty and launched a large-scale attack when old and new military generals were inactive.

In those years, many of the founding veterans who were sent to the northwest to fight against the enemy were seriously injured in their early battles and died or were wounded in battle under the powerful iron heel of the enemy.Among them were Liang Ning's two brothers who died one after another.

Many young generals who were not ready were ordered to rush to the border in the face of danger.Several members of the Pei family also died one after another. Pei Zhan's eldest brother was killed in the same battle as Liang Qin.

So that year, the young Pei Zhan took over from his elder brother and went to the battlefield. When Liang Ning escorted his brother's body back to Beijing, Pei Zhan happened to be out of Beijing.

The reason why Fu Zhen was sure that Pei Zhan would never know about this was not only that the matter was extremely strange and secret, but also because half a month before Liang Ning was killed, the imperial court had just received military reports, and Pei Zhan, who was in command for the first time, took back the troops in one fell swoop. Three cities.

Of course, the bad news is that he was also seriously injured, so Liang Chen Xiaozhong went out to replace him as commander in chief. After sending Liang Chen away, Liang Ning would go to Baihe Temple to pray for blessings.

She thought that he, who was completely unaware of the happenings in the capital, would not believe her so easily.

Since he believed it, it would be easy to handle.

"Which alley is it?" Pei Zhan asked again.

Fu Zhen said: "Do you know where Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Rites lived before he became famous?"

Pei Zhan's eyes were dark and he couldn't see the content.

Fu Zhen continued: "It's in the alley leading from Liang's house to Xu's house."

Pei Zhan fell silent.

His facial features looked even sharper as he turned to the side of the window.

Fu Zhen didn't know what he was thinking. He had never had a close relationship with him, so he had no way of guessing his thoughts.

All she wanted was that after spitting out this incident, he would be satisfied that she could completely believe that she had no evil intentions towards the Liang family.

"What did she see that night?"

Fu Zhen weighed it and said, "I don't know about this. Only Miss Liang's family will know. My mother was not at the scene at the time."

These six years are a long time to others, but to Liang Ning, it seems like a moment. Before she closed her eyes, she was Liang Ning. After she opened her eyes, she became a wandering spirit who had been dead for six years. Naturally, she still felt... It was a night where everything was impressive.

But if she really spit it out, it would be very false, so she would naturally have to pretend.

She had treated many people with her heart and soul, such as old military doctors, soldiers on the battlefield, and Cheng Zhili and others. However, Xu Yin's experience among those people was particularly pitiful, and he was tied to her for a particularly long time.

On the battlefield where she had to see life and death almost every day, she was extremely reverent for life. She hoped that her small power could change and save some people.

But she finally suffered a big setback with Xu Yin, and now she can no longer trust an outsider unreservedly based on her intuition.

Even if the person in front of her is the Pei family, her trust has a bottom line.

Pei Zhan didn't say anything, lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea slowly.

This made Fu Zhen realize that it was a bit troublesome.

When she was coaxing him when she was a child, he would often look down like this, silent, with a look like "No matter what you say, I just won't listen", until she started to pinch her face——

Years have passed and the children have grown up and are no longer difficult to deal with!

But she couldn't stay here all the time. She had to go to Taishan Pavilion to find Mr. Li to thank him and ask for someone.

If the guards around Mrs. Fu and Fu Jia are not in place for one day, she will have to worry all the time!

After her worries were resolved, she could concentrate on killing the person named Xu.You don't have time to play with the children all the time, right?
