Chapter 56: He looks upright, but his words are not upright

Fu Zhen couldn't bear the slightest loss. She was about to stab him a few more times. When she saw this bowl of sesame oil tofu with thick walnut chips and dried osmanthus, she paused and said, "Do you like this too?"

Pei Zhan held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, took two slow bites, and then raised his eyes: "'Ye'?"

The shop owner next to me seemed to have been unable to resist saying: "General, the four bowls of tofu puffs that Miss Pei has just eaten are all sesame oil-flavored!"

Pei Zhan looked at the opposite side, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips: "Really, that's a coincidence. Shopkeeper, please give me three bowls for each of the guards behind me. If there is not enough, I will pay for more. Miss Fu will pay the bill."

Fu Zhen took a look at it - good guy!

Not far behind him stood rows of tall and strong men. Their arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and their eyes were not squinting. Their faces were as stern as their masters, as if they were competent people. Pile is their mission!

Fu Zhen has seen such a team before!

These are full-time guards specially trained by the General's Mansion. Zhang Cheng and the others are also very skilled. They are the best candidates she can find at present. They have not received such advanced training, and they are more than enough to work for her.

But Fu Zhen is currently short of guards. Pei Zhan actually has so many such high-quality and mature guards!

unfair!
"Fu, Miss Fu..."

The shopkeeper obviously realized that this was also a boss who was not easy to mess with. After receiving Pei Zhan's order, he still asked her timidly.

Fu Zhen's eyes were fixed on the Pei family guards, and he waved his hands without thinking: "Listen to the general! Take care of yourself! Ask them what else they want to eat? Whether they want mountain delicacies or seafood, give it to me. Get it over there!”

Pei Zhan just obeyed her words and tried to bully her, cheating her into a few bowls of tofu.

Unexpectedly, she was now eyeing his guards, turning into a greedy cat eyeing salted fish.

Then he muttered: "Miss Fu is really informal."

Fu Zhen didn't take this comment seriously.It’s not that they don’t know him, he’s known his virtues since he was a child, and he doesn’t even care about Liang Ning as his aunt, so how could he be polite to Fu Zhen!
Besides, she was here to recruit him to investigate the alley murder case. She didn't care what her image was in his eyes or what he thought of her!
She came back from the situation, shouted to the boss to serve another bowl of sesame oil tofu, and then said, "General just now was right, what a coincidence, the general and I even have the same taste in eating tofu, we are destined to have it." "

When she was Liang Ning, she came here to eat tofu almost every day, and she only ate sesame oil tofu thickly covered with chopped walnuts and dried osmanthus. She didn't see this guy coming to eat at that time!

It was surprising that he, who had been extremely aloof since he was a child, would come to a place like this to eat tofu. He actually ordered a bowl of the same tofu as hers. It would be unreasonable not to take the opportunity to show off.

When Pei Zhan heard the words "Eating tofu tastes the same", he immediately choked on the tofu that was being put into his mouth.

The person in front of me looks very upright, but his words seem a bit unseemly...

"General, slow down!" Fu Zhen stood up and wanted to rub his back, but he glared at him and took his hand back.

She cleared her throat, took the tofu from the store, and chopped walnuts with it with a spoon. She looked around at the empty surroundings and got back to the topic: "General Pei, I'm here to reply to your words. You won't forget it, right?" ?”

How could Pei Zhan forget?
Not to mention that he hadn't noticed yet, but she had already wasted so much time on this trip.He turned cold and said, "Say."

The guards in the distance quickly dispersed and retreated when he sat down, surrounding the hut, leaving enough safe space for their conversation.

When Fu Zhen was serving tofu in the store, she also gave a gesture to prevent them from coming forward. She chose the most remote corner to ensure that no one would hear if they came over deliberately.Fu Zhen said "Okay" and then hid the fact that Mrs. Fu was in the inn to wait for Ning's father to tell her old friend. He only said that Mrs. Fu was checking the account books in the inn. Then he told how Mrs. Fu discovered the murder downstairs. And how Liang Ning entered the alley and found the body, and then how the men in black cleaned up the murder scene and searched for the things were explained in detail.

"After Miss Liang went upstairs, the people below began to clean up the scene. My mother said that Miss Liang also avoided those people at the time. It seemed that she did not dare to provoke them casually.

"A murder was committed so quickly, and the retreat was so decisive, including cleaning up the scene so thoroughly.

"Plus, there was no news about it afterwards - General Pei, this is really strange! Do you know who that person might be?"

Of course Pei Zhan would not know.

He was not in the capital during those years, how could he possibly know.

But Fu Zhen had to pretend to be an unrelated person who heard about this matter.

She had thought about it. Only people like Pei Zhan could solve the case and thus reveal the relationship between Xu Yin and the dagger, or the person behind the case.

Regarding the matter of revenge against Xu Yin, Fu Zhen actually did not want to drag anyone into trouble.

Pei Zhan and her couldn't get along, and she had no right to ask him to do anything for her.

But that case involves two deceased people whose names are still unknown. Even if they are not old friends of Mr. Ning, they are still two upright people of the Zhou Dynasty - they have the guidance of the Zhou Dynasty, which just explains their destiny. Is your identity innocent?

Even if it is to vindicate two people who died unjustly, it is still a good deed.

Almost all of their families have died for the common people in the past few years. She is absolutely sure that no one in the Pei family will think that such a thing can be ignored.

Furthermore, the murderer of the father and son was obviously not an ordinary person. People like this who secretly slaughtered people should also be found out!

It's not a bad idea to drag Pei Zhan into investigating this case.

While Fu Zhen was telling this, Pei Zhan kept sitting still, looking ahead.

And after she finished speaking for a while, he still didn't respond.

Just when Fu Zhen was about to reach out and shake his eyes, he finally slowly turned his eyes to her: "Where did the picture you drew last time come from?"

"That was a dagger that Miss Liang picked up at the scene."

"What about the dagger?"

"Miss Liang took it away. Now only Miss Liang underground knows its whereabouts."

Since Fu Zhen hasn't gotten the dagger back yet, she needs to be cautious about this matter.After all, she couldn't just say that Liang Ning put the dagger under the Buddhist hall, right?
Pei Zhan lowered his eyes and picked up the bowl very slowly.He just brought it to his lips, but he stopped moving.

His eyebrows were deep and dark - the child had really grown up and had a palace, and Fu Zhen could no longer tell what he was thinking.
