"I bought this house." Seeing Chen Ying looking around, Pei Shu explained, and then lowered his voice and said: "This residence is specially used for people to keep an eye on, so that those flies don't have nowhere to go and fly everywhere." ”

Chen Ying nodded knowingly.

It turned out that this was a disguise, which was placed on the surface to attract the enemy's attention.

Even, this mansion has another purpose, that is, to cover for His Royal Highness the Prince, so that people can't find out his whereabouts.

For a while, neither of them spoke, turned out of the stone path, and a gourd door appeared in front of them.

After entering the door, there is a courtyard, not necessarily big, but very empty, the grass and trees are sparse, only the end of the hall is draped with a hanging wisteria, the green shade covers the house, the blue with purple flowers hang down a lot, and only three or two clusters, mixed in the green leaves, the shadow is sufficient, like attracting people to seek seclusion.

"I converted this yard into a small school yard." Pei Shu said.

In fact, there is no need for him to explain, Chen Ying can also see clearly, the yard is paved with sand, there are shelves of knives, guns and sticks standing next to the hall, stone locks and sandbags scattered on the ground, even if there is no one at this time, there is a strong male hormonal smell in the air.

"May I ask you a question?" When stepping on the verandah, Chen Yingfang slowed down slightly and asked Pei Shudao.

Pei Shu immediately bowed his head: "You just ask, I will know everything." ”

Chen Ying pondered for a moment, and said in a very soft voice: "Ah Shu, is this dead money falling from the sky related to the death of the old marquis?" ”

She raised her eyes to look at him, and her eyes were as clear as water, as if they could see into his heart.

"If I'm wrong, then I beg your pardon." Chen Ying said again, staring at him without dodging: "I made this speculation from your narration and the attitude you showed after Qian Tian's death. ”

Pei Shu looked at her in a daze, and after a long time, he smiled.

"Ah Ying, you are really the smartest person I have ever met." He let out a heartfelt sigh of emotion.

At that moment, he had stopped himself, lowered his eyes to meet the light, looked at the girl in front of him, a few bunches of gold dust penetrated into the bottom of his eyes, and the crystal pupils were like amber.

Then, he let out a low sigh, and those suppressed emotions spread all over his body like water.

At this moment, Pei Shu looked a little tired.

"You guessed it." He said, his voice was low and his eyes were slightly dark: "This money fell from the sky, and it is very likely that he witnessed the person who shot a cold arrow and killed his ancestor back then. ”

He pressed one hand to his waist, but the other hand touched his eyebrows, his slender fingers pinched his eyebrows a few times, and his voice became deeper and lower, like the aroma of wine oozing from the mud seal: "This is a long time, you listen to me slowly." ”

He put down his hand, stretched out his arms to make a "please" posture, led the way in front of one wall, and whispered on the other wall: "For more than ten years, I have been secretly looking for the whereabouts of the real murderer, and I can be regarded as having eyes in the sky, so I found a clue that is pointing to the capital." I entered Beijing the year before last, intending to find out this person and avenge my father! ”

He stopped suddenly, his eyes burning with flames, his eyes glowing scarlet, and his fists clenched like a volcano about to erupt.

Chen Ying looked at him worriedly.

At this moment, Pei Shu seems to have been completely overwhelmed by the fire of revenge and is on the verge of losing his mind.

However, this emotion soon disappeared from him.

When he turned to Chen Ying, the scarlet in his eyes had faded, and his expression was indifferent: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both know about this, let me go and ask me to investigate, and Your Majesty also authorized me to hang a spare post in the Criminal Department, so that I have the opportunity to look through the files of the year." ”

At this time, the two of them had walked through the hall, the thick shade covered the roof, the breeze was coming, the faint fragrance of flowers brushed the end of the nose, and occasionally a green leaf fell, from the hem of his robe, swept to the side of her skirt.

Chen Ying couldn't help but look back.

Outside the hall, the sky is high and the clouds are light, there is a large area of sunshine on the green wall, and the air in late spring is warm and fragrant.

Pei Shu stopped.

There are chairs in the hall, all of which are the most common styles and are very simple.

"Sit down." He invited Chen Ying to sit on a plum blossom stool, and Fang Ying's robe sat down opposite her, with a calm pair of eyebrows, and continued slowly:

"Actually, there is only one file I really want to read, and that is the person that my grandfather found back then. The man was killed for a burglary in his home, and because he had an official position, the case was finally brought to the Criminal Department. Due to the remote location of Ningxia, the files left by the Yamen are not complete. For more than a year, I rummaged through the piles of old papers in the Criminal Department, and finally found the complete original. And after careful inspection, I realized that there may be people who know about the events of that year. ”

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Chen Ying was a little curious.

According to the year, it is intriguing that there are people in the know, and this process is very intriguing.

Pei Shu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "If you trace back to the source, you still have to start with Qian Tian's descending people." ”

"Then you can say it." Chen Ying changed to a more comfortable sitting posture and listened attentively.

Pei Shu raised his hand to the side of the case, with a bit of memory in his eyes, and said, "I want to talk about the battle formation in the army first. In the battle formation, the auxiliaries were mostly in the rear, that is, behind the central army. Coincidentally, the phalanx where Qian Tiandi was located was facing the banner of the Chinese army of his father, and then because his father was killed by an arrow, the phalanx was in chaos, and Qian Tian's phalanx was almost wiped out. Although this money fell from the sky and survived, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, for fear of being pulled into the battlefield again next time, so he quietly took off his clothes to a Xiyi soldier, and cut his face with a knife, and then took advantage of the chaos to flee into the mountains. Because of this, when the dead soldiers were counted after the war, his name was included in the death list. ”

He paused for a few breaths, snapped his fingers lightly on the table, and his eyes were cold: "It's really weird to say." After the war, several survivors of Qian Tianxia's phalanx died for various reasons in less than two years, while other phalanxes did not have such a situation, which inevitably made people suspicious. The person my grandfather tracked down was the commander of the phalanx, and the last survivor of the phalanx known at the time. The night before his grandfather found him, he was killed by 'bandits'. ”

"I see." Chen Ying bowed slightly, and finally understood the basis of Pei Shu's suspicions.

The survivors of the same phalanx died one after another, and none of them survived in the end, which was very much like killing people.

"It's just that, according to the directory, Qian Tianxia is also 'dead', even if you doubt it, how do you know that there are survivors in this world?" Chen Ying asked softly.

Pei Shu's hand was stunned, and he groaned: "The strangest thing about this matter is this." ”

He lowered his voice and looked solemn: "About eight or nine years ago, maybe seven years ago, a foreigner once came to inquire about the formation of the rear of the Chinese army, and that person also asked a few old men about a certain tomb, as if he was looking for someone. ”
