Chapter 75: One in a million possibilities (second update please vote)

Suizifang is located inside the West City Gate. To the east is Yanzifang, where the Liang family is located, and to the west is the moat.

From Liang's house to the moat, the powerful and wealthy people lived along the way. The alley was wide and straight. It was one of the roads that Liang Ning traveled most during his lifetime.

On the bank of the moat at the end of the alley, a Canglang Pavilion was built. It was said to be a pavilion, but in fact it was a garden that the disciples often visited.There are pavilions, towers and pavilions, as well as archery paths and eighteen kinds of weapons. Therefore, in addition to the children of civil servants, it is also a popular place for the children of generals.

Liang Ning has been playing here since she was a child. While Liang Chen and others gathered in the garden to chat, she, Liang Zhi, Cheng Chili and others were playing in the moat.

This was her childhood paradise, and her first confrontation with Pei Zhan happened here.

"If you look down from this tree, there should be several stone pits on the combined wall where you can stay."

When she arrived at the river, she counted the willow trees along the bank one by one. When she arrived under one of the crooked-neck trees, she asked Yang Tong to look down.

The moat is very wide and deep. Although the moonlight is bright at the moment, the crown of the willow tree is very large. If you stand under the tree, you will not attract the attention of the soldiers on the opposite palace wall.

Yang Tong bent down and took a look, nodded and said: "There is indeed a pit. If there is a rope to hold it, you can stay."

Fu Zhen took out a small bundle of rope from his sleeve, took out one end and threw it to him: "Tie your waist and go down to the river. Look under the water, about the ninth pit, to see if there is a wide pit with walls. , enough to hold a box as long as a foot long?"

Yang Tong did as he was told. Not long after he sank into the water, he poked his head out again silently: "There is indeed a pit! It was left behind when laying stones!"

Fu Zhen nodded immediately, then tied the other end of the rope to the tree, and followed Yang Tong into the river regardless of Yang Tong's anxious dissuasion.

For the Liang family, practicing water skills from an early age is a must.Water-based skills are not like martial arts. Even if you change your body, as long as you remember the key points, there will be no problem.

Fu Zhen dived under the water, took out the box with the dagger in his sleeve, and stuffed it into the innermost part of the stone pit.

She has been playing in this area as long as she can remember. She started swimming when she was five years old and practiced swimming until she was eight years old.

Pei Zhan's eldest brother Pei Wan is the same age as Liang Chen. Since they grew up together, Liang Ning and Pei Wan are more familiar with each other.

Every time Pei Wei saw Liang Ning, he would smile slightly and call her aunt, and then chat with her for a while.

Pei Zhan sometimes followed Pei Yuan, but at that time he was too young and inconspicuous in the eyes of everyone.

Liang Ning was about seven years old when he realized his existence, and Pei Zhan was five years old at that time.

It was an early spring afternoon, the sky was still cold, but there were white clouds in the sky, and the willow trees were sprouting new buds. She was sitting on the stone steps under the pavilion waiting for her friends. Pei Zhan came over with a bunch of candied haws in his hand and his short legs. .

The stone steps were a bit high for him. He knocked down the candied haws and almost fell to the ground.Thanks to Liang Ning's quick eyes and quick hands, he caught it before it hit the ground.

Although he was not as fat as his son at that time, he was still round, soft and cute.

Liang Ning thought that he had never called her aunt, and she was idle when she was idle. She raised the candied haws and said to him: "Call aunt, I will give it to you."

But the boy refused to scream, his face turned red from holding back, and said: "Your surname is not Pei, I won't call you aunt."

Liang Ning said: "Your brother calls me aunt, why don't you call me aunt? If you don't call me aunt, I will eat your candied haws!"

That boy has been stubborn since he was a child.

He watched her bring the candied haws to her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, but her mouth was as hard as a duck's: "I won't bark, I just won't bark!" Liang Ning was a good woman who kept her word.

She really ate the bunch of candied haws.

Squeak, squeak, finally she even licked the candy on the stick in front of him.

Unsurprisingly, Pei Zhan sat on the stone steps and burst into tears. From then on, he never looked good towards Liang Ning.No matter how Liang Ning teased him or acted like an elder, he really never called Liang Ning aunt.

After so many years, since this stubborn man still remembers Liang Ning and is still entangled in a case that Fu Zhen casually mentioned, he must also have deep memories of this past event.

Fu Zhen returned to the shore wearing wet clothes, and took advantage of the night to sneak back into the house through the small door in the northwest corner.

And under the huge sycamore tree outside the south gate of the Fu family, a huge carriage was parked at this moment.

When Mrs. Fu and Fu Jia had fallen asleep, Li Jiang and Li Huai, who had quietly come out, were meeting Pei Zhan in the carriage.

"... Fu Yun is sanctimonious and indulges his concubine Liu, and Mrs. Fu indulges her only son. Miss Fu's strength seems to be forced to achieve success, and it is only because of this that she succeeds for Fu. My wife and her younger brother have maintained their current foundation. This is the situation of the Fu family, but it is up to the general to decide."

Pei Zhan sat on the brocade couch with an eyebrow and did not say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of the watchman knocking on the clapper that he slowly took a deep breath and said, "Continue to inquire carefully. Also, keep an eye on her these past few days and pay attention to whether she mentions a dagger. If so. , come and report to me at any time!”

"Subordinates obey!"

Pei Zhan raised his chin and motioned for them to retreat.

For a moment, everything inside and outside the car became quiet.

He turned to look at the reflection of the carriage under the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly felt that he was a little possessed.

Since he has told himself countless times that the girl is a liar, he should not keep worrying about the authenticity of this matter, let alone give in again and again...

He really couldn't figure out why in the temple in the morning he was clearly about to take control of her, but in the end he agreed to give her three more days by some strange combination.

Why did the dagger Liang Ning took away come back to her hands after three days?
How could she be sure that she could really find such a dagger in three days?
He shouldn't have been led by her.

However, no matter how fake she is, there is a [-]% chance that it is true.

If the truth is just one of those things, wouldn't Liang Ning's death seem too coincidental?
Why did she die just three days after the murder?

He knew that Dali Temple had excellent case handling capabilities, and he also knew that the emperor would never allow them to play tricks on such matters, but it was still too coincidental, wasn't it?
"Master, shall we go back home?"

the guard asked from the front of the car.

Pei Zhan looked at the night sky, pondered for a long time and said: "What is the place where Minister Xu lived before he became famous? What is it used for now?"

The guard was silent: "That house was bought by Miss Liang Aunt. After Mr. Xu moved out, it was returned to the Liang Mansion."

Pei Zhan put down the car curtain and said, "Go for a walk in the alley between Liang Mansion and that house."
