Pei Zhan unconsciously glanced at the place where Fu Zhen was standing.

Fu Zhen also responded to his gaze quietly.

I have to say that He Qunying's reason is very correct, as soon as he says this, no matter whether Old Man Ning's death is really suspicious or not, the Ning family has to investigate.

To investigate this matter, of course, you don't have to rely on him He Qunying.

The Pei family and the Liang family don't have that ambition, so they won't deliberately manage their relationships outside the capital, although they will be slower to investigate, but they don't have to be restricted by He Qunying.

What's more, Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan are not the kind of people who will lead people by the nose. They all have a few backbones, and the more others want to handle it, the more they refuse to let people get their wish.

But at the moment, Fu Zhen did not mean to immediately contradict.

She stood for a moment with the flask in her arms, then stepped forward to fill their glasses.

When pouring wine for Pei Zhan, she raised her tail finger and touched the wall of the cup three times, and then returned to the same place with the wine jug.

Pei Zhan took the cup, stroked the rim of the cup a few times with his thumb, and said, "Since you have such sincerity, how can I refuse?" How many boats do you want? Although there is no guarantee that you will be able to get it, it will always help you figure out a way. ”

He Qunying's eyebrows suddenly lit up. "Two boats are enough, but the whole cabin must be for me."

Pei Zhan hooked his lips slightly and nodded.

"Then it's decided!" He Qunying stroked the table, "I'm just waiting for your good news, brother!" - Come, eat vegetables! ”

When the big thing was decided, the tooth cuffs of both sides were raised.

He Qunying waved his hand and let the two servants get closer to play some music.

Fu Zhen wanted to leave the room under the pretext of coming out to add wine, but Pei Zhan grabbed her clothes under the table.

Fu Zhen couldn't walk, and he had no way to struggle, so he could only stand there honestly, glaring at him secretly, and reaching out to pinch his arm.

The corners of Pei Zhan's lips kept rising, and He Qunying said something on the other side, but he didn't take it to heart.

It was only when he found that the two servants were getting closer and closer that he straightened up: "I don't like these vulgar powders, it's weird and noisy, let's drink it here today." ”

With that, he stood up.

He Qunying still wants to keep him, but naturally it is impossible to keep him.

As soon as his side retreated, Fu Zhen followed out.

The two walked out of the corridor one after the other, bypassed the rockery, and came to the innermost one, Pei Zhan stopped and looked back with his hands behind his back.

I saw that the two servants withdrew with their musical instruments, and after a while, He Qunying also walked out, and he said, "It's not too stupid, there are no moths here." ”

Fu Zhen picked the thick flesh on his arm and pinched it fiercely: "What do you want him to do?" Ready for two beauties to give them a hug? ”

Pei Zhan stroked his arm: "Still pinching, your arm is swollen for you!" ”

Fu Zhen said: "You are not honest in front of people!" ”

Pei Zhan looked at her and said softly: "Then you are still pretending to be a sister-in-law in front of people to seduce me?" If I knew you liked to play like this, I should have taken you out for a walk. ”

Fu Zhen stabbed him with his fist: "You want to be beautiful!" Still seducing? I'm giving you a code, hinting at you! ”

"Well, whatever you say is what you say. The tradition of our Pei family, the daughter-in-law said the east, we must not go west. ”

Fu Zhen was defeated and threw himself to the ground!

She turned around and pulled her legs: "I'm too lazy to quarrel with you!" ”

After saying that, he ran into the small building.

Pei Zhan followed in: "Don't run." Why don't you sit down and tell me what happened to my grandfather and his old man? ”

Fu Zhen took a deep breath.

She's not the one to twist and turn, and she certainly can't be vague when it's time to get down to business.

Turning around at the bottom of the stairs, she walked back and sat down next to Pei Zhan, who had already sat down: "What He Qunying just said about the old man is the same as what my mother told me. ”

Pei Zhan looked at her crystal eyes: "You mean, the old man, he did suffer such an accident, and he did fall ill after that?" ”

Fu Zhen nodded. "My grandfather was in an accident at the Luoyang Wharf, and after he contracted the disease, his mother asked him to take him to Beijing for treatment. Therefore, he passed away in Beijing. ”

The Ning family has real estate in many places in the north and south, and after entering Beijing, he recuperated in the Nancheng Courtyard, and later the funeral was also done in the Courtyard. Because of this, Fu Yun also had the opportunity to help with the funeral at the Ning family at that time, and at the same time, he could also take the time to bring the Liu family into the Fu family.

"Didn't the mother-in-law and the shopkeeper Su suspect this at the time?"

Mrs. Ning, Shopkeeper Su and others are all human spirits, and the old man's illness is so strange, it is impossible for them not to pursue it.

"I also feel a little confused," Fu Zhen said, "And my mother never told me about this before, but it was only when I told my mother that Brother Mu'er was going to Huizhou, and I accidentally learned that there was still this paragraph."

My mother's explanation was that it was impossible for someone to poison someone for two months before they died. But I still don't think this argument is particularly valid. ”

"So you let me promise He Qunying?"

"I asked you to promise him, but it's not all because of that."

Speaking of this, Fu Zhen leaned forward, "Don't you think that He Qunying's strength today is a bit big?" ”

Pei Zhan took a piece of sugar walnut on the plate and ate it: "Tell me about it." ”

"He just wants two boats, and he spends so much money to invite you to dinner, not to mention, he also specially inquired about my grandfather's distress, is this a crime?"

Pei Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Yes, he has the energy, what kind of way can't he get it?" Why do you have to get our Ning family's boat? ”

"That's it!" Fu Zhen hated, "I think it's weird for him to ask for these two boats, isn't it because he wants to bring some private goods into Beijing?" ”

There are many things that the DPRK and China prohibit from circulating among the people, such as salt and ore, which can make heavy profits. It is really possible for someone like He Qunying to do these things.

Pei Zhan took another piece of jujube cake: "Since this is the case, then we shouldn't agree to him, if he really does this, then wouldn't we become accomplices?" ”

"Of course not!" Fu Zhen said, "If he really wants to make a mistake, if we don't give him a boat, he will definitely have to find another boat, so in the end, isn't it bad for Chaogang?"

"Let's give him the boat, at least we will have a chance to verify whether he is a clean trader or wants to carry smuggling goods. If it's the latter, wouldn't we be able to arrest him? ”

Pei Zhan thought for a moment, looked at her and said, "It's really yours." ”

Fu Zhen sat up straight: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to send him to prison, I'm mainly for the He family."

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs, Xu Yin is already salivating over the power in the hands of the He family, if He Qunying commits a crime, Xu Yin will definitely have to go up.

"When the time comes, the He family will sink deeper and deeper into this mud pit, and they will be even more unable to get out."

Pei Zhan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Madame is thoughtful and reasonable. ”

Fu Zhen glanced at him when he heard this: "What lady?" If you don't play these tricks with me, even if you call 10,000 Mrs. Sheng, you won't be able to become a real lady! ”

"Then, the little sister-in-law has a point."

Fu Zhen pounced on him and hit him.

"There are people coming and going in the restaurant, what does this fight look like? Is there anything you can't say back to your room? ”

She had just started here when there was a feint from the stairs.

Fu Zhen turned his head and saw Mrs. Ning standing on the stairs looking at the two of them.

Fu Zhen hurriedly stood up straight: "Mother, don't get me wrong, I just saw a mosquito on the general's face and wanted to shoot him to death!" ”

"Still talking nonsense." Mrs. Ning walked over and looked her dress up and down, "Mrs. General, what kind of style is this?" ”

"Don't blame the mother, the real child is naughty and cute, and the son-in-law is very happy." Pei Zhan said and stood up with Fu Zhen's slender waist with one hand, "The general's wife is not good, she has to read the accounts and take care of the housekeeper every day, and it is a bit boring to think about the coming days." The son-in-law can't please her all the time, but let her have some fun on her own, which is really the fault of the son-in-law. ”

"You!" Mrs. Ning smiled and sighed, and then asked Fu Zhen: "You just went downstairs in a hurry, and the co-authorship was because Minzhi came?" ”

"Of course not," Fu Zhen stepped forward and hugged her, "I have something to report to my mother, you sit down first." ”

……

He Qunying walked out of Wanbin Building and went straight back to the house.

Under the threshold, he looked at him and collided head-on.

"Why are you not staying in the camp at this time, but you are dressed like this in the house?"

The moment the father and son met, He Huan's face sank.

The general's prestige made the subordinates who were waiting on the side suddenly hold their breath and condense, and they didn't dare to stay aside.

He Qunying lowered his head slightly: "I made an appointment with someone just now, so I came back from the dinner." ”

"What can I do if I make some fox friends and dog friends all day long?! You have finally been promoted to an official position, and if you don't perform your duties seriously, do you intend to be impeached?! ”

He Qunying's face also gathered a layer of frost. He looked up and said, "What kind of fox friend is called?" What kind of good friend is called? I had dinner with Pei Min at lunch, I don't know if he is a fox friend or not? ”

He Huan locked his eyebrows and looked at him: "He has always been arrogant, he may not come twice if I invite him three times, what face do you have to please him?" You don't know how often I don't meet him, do you? ”

"If you don't believe, you have it!"

He Qunying looked ahead, the frost on his face became thicker, and the roots of his teeth seemed to be bitten. "I've been growing up since I was a child, and you've listened to me a few times? How many times have you ever looked at me? In your eyes, I don't deserve to sit with anyone! ”

"You!"

He Huan choked. The next moment he raised his hand, and was about to slap him in the face, but he lifted his foot first and stepped over the threshold.

He Huan was so angry that he wanted to catch up, but several staff members next to him hurriedly grabbed him: "The general is angry!" Uncle will never tell such a lie! ”

was finally stopped by them, but He Huan turned around and said angrily at them: "Do you know that he can't speak?!" ”

The staff said: "The general is wise and martial, you naturally know whether the uncle is lying or not." General, after all, the uncle is the original concubine, the son of the righteous sect, the general can't be blindly questioned, it is not conducive to the stability of our general's mansion. ”

He Huan gritted his teeth with hatred, stomped his feet and brushed his sleeves away.

He Qunying rushed all the way back to his room, and when he looked back and saw that there was no one at the gate of the courtyard, he took a deep breath and sat down.

The attendant He Quan then came in: "Uncle Fang just clashed with the general again?" ”

He Qunying angrily threw a cup.

He Quan was startled and hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Invite Mr. He over."

He Quan bowed his head silently. After a while, he brought in a murmured scribe of about forty years.

"He Lin has seen the general."

He Qunying raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "I have done what you said, what should I do next?" ”

He Lin said: "If General Pei agrees, then the general only needs to listen to the good news." ”

He Qunying stared at him: "You are so sure, he will definitely be willing to help me get the Ning family's ship?" ”

"General Pei is very fond of his newly married wife, he has nothing to worry about the affairs of the Ning family, it is related to the cause of Ning Bochi's death, no matter what, he will not be indifferent."

He Qunying looked at him: "You know their affairs." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked a few steps, and he stopped under the curtain and turned back: "Where did you learn about Ningbo Pond?" ”

He Lin lowered his head: "Back to the general's words, a cousin under him happens to be a Huizhou businessman." He had dealt with the Ning family a few times, and had some business dealings. ”

"What's his name?"

"The surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Qingzhou."

"Where do you live?"

"A native of Long'an County, Huizhou."

He Qunying glanced at him again and stopped talking.

……

Mrs. Ning listened to the ins and outs here, and sat on the chair for a long time without speaking.

Fu Zhen waited for a while and couldn't help but say, "Regarding the death of your grandfather, did you really not seriously doubt it?" ”

Mrs. Ning took a slow breath, glanced at her, and then looked away. "No, I have asked so many doctors to see it, and no one has confirmed that he is poisoned, so how can it really be poisoning? Don't think about it. ”

Fu Zhen said: "Is there any prescription left at that time?" Which doctors did you ask me about? ”

"It's been so long, where can I still remember it? Of course, the prescription is even more gone. ”

Mrs. Ning stood up when she said this, looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going back to the house, Miss Xie should arrive in a while, do you go back with me, or go back to Pei's house?" ”

Fu Zhen still hasn't finished asking, how can it end like this?

Just about to open her mouth, Pei Zhan grabbed her sleeve and asked her to sit down: "Mother is tired after being busy all day, you go back to rest, and the two of us will go back to Pei's house." ”

Mrs. Ning nodded: "Say hello to your mother." ”

After saying that, he walked out.

Fu Zhen frowned at her back: "It's strange, you are in such a hurry, you didn't even leave us today." What's wrong with the little girl of the Xie family waiting for it? ”

Not only was she a little anxious, but she even felt that Mrs. Ning seemed to be deliberately avoiding this matter. But it was obvious that she told Fu Zhen about this past before!

Pei Zhan leaned over: "Do you want to explore?" ”

Fu Zhen turned sideways: "What do you want to do?" ”

Pei Zhan pinched her coarse cloth clothes: "Still pretend with me." Addicted? ”

Fu Zhen clapped his hands.

Pei Zhan smiled: "I'm fine, how about accompanying the 'little sister-in-law' to your Ning family?" ”
