Qi Ning was talking to Shen Liangqiu, when he suddenly heard exclamations outside, Qi Qi frowned, and then saw that Manager Hou almost stumbled into the hall, his face was pale and frightened.

Shen Liangqiu frowned and said, "Manager Hou, why do you want to shout like this?" ”

Manager Hou almost cried: "Oh no, madam......!" In a hurry, he raised his hand and pointed outward: "General Shen, Mrs. She..... Something happened to her! ”

Qi Ning's heart sank, and Wei Yujiang beside him was also taken aback, but Shen Liangqiu quickly rushed up a few steps and asked almost sharply, "What's wrong with Madam?" ”

"Madame...... Madame committed suicide ......! Chief Hou trembled all over: "General Shen, you ..... Go check it out! ”

Shen Liangqiu grabbed Manager Hou's arm and shouted angrily: "Manager Hou, what nonsense are you talking about, Madam was fine last night, how could it be ......!" Putting aside Manager Hou, he didn't even care about Qi Ning, and rushed out of the door with flying steps, his movements were agile, his steps were extremely fast, and he had already gone out in the blink of an eye.

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang glanced at each other, did not hesitate, and quickly followed out the door.

Although Shen Liangqiu's steps were fast, Qi Ning's steps were not slow, and he had arrived at Shen Liangqiu's side in a moment, Shen Liangqiu's face was slightly pale, his hands were already clenched into fists, and Qi Ning noticed that Shen Liangqiu's hands were trembling slightly.

Before I saw the courtyard, I heard a cry from inside, and rushed into the courtyard, only to see two maids sitting in front of the door, crying incessantly.

Shen Liangqiu rushed to the door of the house, the door was open, he had just stepped in, as if he had thought of something, stopped, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't cry!" ”

The two maids were so frightened that they suppressed their crying, and Shen Liangqiu asked in a deep voice, "Madame is inside?" ”

"General, ma'am..... Madame, she .......! A maid raised her hand and pointed into the room, trembling, but she could not speak.

Qi Ning had already followed at this time, and said to Shen Liangqiu: "General Shen, protect the scene!" ”

Shen Liangqiu understood what Qi Ning meant, nodded, his eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the majority of the governors committed suicide, and now Mrs. is committing suicide again, this is ..... It's not simple, there's something strange about it. ”

"General Shen doesn't need to be in a hurry." Qi Ning comforted: "Wei Sixuan is good at observation, wait for him to come over." ”

He and Shen Liangqiu are both people who practice martial arts, full of breath, extremely fast, Wei Yujiang and Manager Hou have been pulled far behind, although Shen Liangqiu's face is ugly, but he is not in a hurry to enter the house, a moment later, Wei Yujiang has already entered the courtyard, and Manager Hou entered the courtyard after a while.

Only then did Shen Liangqiu look at Qi Ning, Qi Ning saw that Wei Yujiang and Manager Hou had arrived, so he nodded slightly, Shen Liangqiu was the first to enter the house, and Qi Ning followed.

As soon as he entered the room, it was the main hall, Shen Liangqiu looked to the left, the door was also open, he took a deep breath, and then walked over slowly, Qi Ning followed behind, entered the room, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw that the inside was divided into two, and the outside half was very simple to put tables and chairs, and there was a large screen in the middle to separate the back half of the room, and there was an entrance on both sides of the screen, which could enter the back.

On weekdays, as Mrs. Shen's bedroom, except for the Lantai Burning Lin, naturally no man can enter it, but when such an amazing thing happened today, there is naturally no way to shy away from it.

Shen Liangqiu and Qi Ning turned to the back of the screen, and saw that a beautifully decorated large bed occupied almost half of the space in the back, and the gauze tent was hung by a hook, so the scene on the bed was clear.

A plain white woman was lying quietly on the bed at this time, with her hands on her lower abdomen, her left hand pressed on her right hand, silently, silently, and on the woman's face, it was covered with a light veil, which was very thin, so that the woman's face could be faintly seen.

At this time, Qi Ning heard the sound of footsteps behind him, turned around, Wei Yujiang followed closely behind him, and Manager Hou grabbed it from behind at this time, knelt on the ground with "Puff", and cried bitterly: "Madam, you ..... Why can't you think about it so much, what should the little master do when you leave......! ”

Shen Liangqiu walked to the side of the bed at this time, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembled, and he looked at the motionless woman on the bed blankly, Qi Ning's expression was cold, and at this time, he had already found that at the corner of the woman's lips, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, but the blood was obviously dry.

Qi Ning turned his head to Wei Yujiang and glanced at him, Wei Yujiang nodded, stepped forward, arched his hand to Shen Liangqiu, and then bowed deeply to the woman on the bed, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Shen, offended!" Leaning forward, leaning over to take a look, then there was an extra silver needle in his hand, carefully leaning the silver needle over, Shen Liangqiu raised his hand, as if to stop it, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, and slowly put down his hand.

Wei Yujiang gently pierced the silver needle into the veins of Mrs. Shen's neck, and quickly pulled it out, and soon, several people saw that the silver needle had changed color.

"Poisoned?" Qi Ning's heart sank.

Wei Yujiang looked at Mrs. Shen's face again, then turned around and walked to Qi Ning's side, and said softly: "Master Hou, Mrs. Shen should have died of poisoning." ”

Qi Ning looked at Chief Manager Hou, and saw Chief Manager Hou crying and coughing twice, before asking, "Chief Manager Hou mourns, Ben Hou has two words to ask you." ”

Manager Hou raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, looked at Qi Ning, and Qi Ning asked, "Manager Hou just said that Mrs. committed suicide?" ”

Chief Manager Hou said with tears in his voice: "General Shen knows that Master Hou is coming to see Mrs., so let the old slave pass Mrs., and after the old slave comes, let Chun Tao ......!" He raised his hand and said outside: "Chun Tao is outside, and the old slave is not good to come into the house directly to report, so let Chun Tao report it, and after Chun Tao enters the house, he will ..... soon Soon there was a shout, and the old slave rushed in, and then ..... Then I saw the lady lying on the bed with the corners of her mouth ..... There is still blood ...... at the corner of the mouth! ”

"Manager Hou, why can you know that Madame committed suicide based on this?" Qi Ning stared at Manager Hou's eyes.

Manager Hou raised his hand and pointed to a place, several people looked over, and saw that the place where Manager Hou pointed was a dresser, the dresser was a few steps away from the big bed, and the most conspicuous thing was that there was a jade bowl on the dresser.

Wei Yujiang had quickly approached the past, gently picked up the jade bowl and looked at it, and soon looked back at Manager Hou and asked, "Manager Hou, Mrs. was poisoned, did you drink this bowl of soup?" ”

Qi Ning also walked over at this time, Wei Yujiang held the jade bowl to Qi Ning with both hands, Qi Ning took it and took a look, and saw that there was still a small half bowl of soup left in the bowl, and there were two white fungus at the bottom, the white fungus soup should be clear and clean, but the remaining soup had a hint of maroon, which was obviously wrong.

Mr. Hou: "After the old slave entered the house, he saw his wife like this, and he knew that things were not good, and when he saw that this soup was different in color from the white fungus soup he sent before, he was ...... I knew what was going on. ”

"After you entered the house, you saw blood on the corner of Madame's mouth, and then you saw that this bowl of soup was wrong, so you judged that Madame committed suicide, right?" Qi Ning's expression was calm, and he stared at Manager Hou and asked.

Manager Hou nodded and said, "Yes..... Yes, but ..... But it's not just ......! ”

Wei Yujiang saw Chief Manager Hou's expression flickering, frowned, and said: "Chief Manager Hou, being poisoned by this bowl of soup may not mean committing suicide, or someone may have poisoned this soup, why do you so easily conclude that Mrs. must have committed suicide?" ”

Shen Liangqiu's expression was cold, and he said coldly: "Manager Hou, you are the old man of the Golden Dao Houfu, it is because you are loyal to the Tantai family that the old Hou Ye left you here to take care of the Grand Duke." Although you have been the head of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion over the years, both the Metropolitan Governor and his wife have never treated you as a subordinate, but as an elder. He took a step forward, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Mr. Hou: "Now that the governor has committed suicide, and now his wife is committing suicide again, you tell me, is there anything that has not been said?" ”

Manager Hou's body shook and lowered his head, but Qi Ning walked over slowly, and said gently: "Boss, if you really know something, you might as well say it, so that you can figure out these things." If the Metropolitan Governor and his wife really committed suicide, then it would be fine, but if there is really another reason, you don't hide it, wouldn't you be ashamed of the Metropolitan Governor and his wife? ”

Manager Hou raised his head, tears flowed, and said sadly: "It's all old slaves. He looked at Shen Liangqiu and said, "General Shen, last night..... You saw Madame last night after she left, Madame..... Madame said something wrong to me, and I ..... I didn't tell you in time, it's all ..... It's all me wrong. ”

"What did Madame say to you?"

Manager Hou said sadly: "Madame gave me a small box, and when I opened it, I found that it was full of gold, silver, soft and ..... There were also some silver tickets, which were strange at the time, and Madame asked me to put them away, and said to me, if ..... If something really happened to her, it would be ..... So he distributed the box of things to everyone in the house, and did not leave anyone behind, and said..... He also said that all these years are thanks to everyone's .......! ”

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang glanced at each other, while Shen Liangqiu stared at Manager Hou's eyes.

"As soon as the old slave heard Madame's explanation, he felt that something was wrong, and persuaded Madame not to think about it, most of the governors passed away, and Madame was sad in her heart, but after all, the little young master was still there." Chief Manager Hou sighed: "The old slave persuaded Mrs. that for the sake of the little master, she also wanted her to take good care of herself, she didn't say anything at the time, and told me to put away the box and not mention it to anyone, otherwise, it would ..... Otherwise, the old slave can't live with her. ”

Shen Liangqiu took a deep breath and said, "Manager Hou, Madam obviously has the idea of committing suicide, ..... Why didn't you tell me last night? Even if Madame has advice, how can such a major event be hidden? ”

"The old slave is dizzy, thinking that there is a little young master, and the lady will never ...... for the sake of the little master!" Manager Hou raised his hand suddenly, slapped his face, and blamed himself: "It's all me who is confused, it's all me who is .....confused!" He twitched twice, Qi Ning had already reached out and grabbed his arm, shook his head and said, "Don't do this, boss, let me ask you, this bowl of soup ...... Who sent it? ”
