Qi Ning was amused in his heart, and when he saw the carriage leaving, he asked Chief Manager Han, "Has the third lady eaten in the past two days?" ”

"Back to Master Hou, I didn't eat much, but it was better than before." Han Shou replied: "But these days, the third lady's health has not been very good, and she hasn't been out of the yard much, and the trivial matters in the house, the third lady has also let the old slave deal with them." He looked left and right, approached Qi Ning's side and whispered: "Master Hou, the third lady doesn't let you invite a doctor, and she doesn't care much about the affairs in the house, this ......!" "I want to say it and stop talking.

"Mr. Han, what do you want to say?"

Han Shou hesitated for a moment before saying, "The old slave is not in good spirits when he looks at the third lady these days, isn't it..... Is there something on your mind, or something difficult? The old slave didn't dare to ask more, Master Hou ..... Hou Ye might as well ask. ”

Qi Ning naturally knew what Gu Qinghan's heart disease was.

Before, Gu Qinghan only thought that Qi Ning didn't know Mrs. Tai's arrangement, but he could still be calm and comfortable, but since he knew that Qi Ning understood the truth, his mood has been very unstable, and he is panicked every day.

Qi Ning can also understand.

Although this Jinyi Marquis Mansion is not small, it is only a mansion after all, and Mrs. Tai is the real owner of this mansion, and the mansion may be Mrs. Tai's eyeliner everywhere.

Gu Qinghan was obviously worried that Mrs. Tai already knew that she and herself were ambiguous in private, and as a woman, it was reasonable for Gu Qinghan to be frightened by this.

Qi Ning frowned slightly, knowing that if he didn't solve it at this time, Gu Qinghan would always be in a panic, and he was a little depressed in his heart, secretly thinking that since an old woman who was about to die could make herself so passive, it was really a bit embarrassing.

He knew that in order to control Mrs. Tai, he must first deal with the bull head and horse face, otherwise his rash actions are likely to bring extremely serious consequences.

The bull-headed horse face must be a person from the Hou Mansion, and it is near Mrs. Tai, although it also leaves a trace of clues, but Qi Ning does not dare to judge lightly, once the judgment is wrong, he will immediately be alerted by the real bull-headed horse face, so that the situation is even more dangerous.

But this matter can't be delayed for a long time, after all, Qi Ning can imagine the pressure that Gu Qinghan is under every day, and he doesn't want Gu Qinghan to be depressed because of this matter.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a voice outside: "Qi Ning! ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that there were still people who dared to call him by name in these years, and when he looked back, he saw an old man in brocade clothes outside the gate of the Hou Mansion coming to the house, and the guards guarding the door were about to stop him. ”

The person who came was Swing Yi, and Qi Ning was not good at calling him the poison king in front of others.

Swing Yi dressed as a rich man, not smiling, when he entered the door, he didn't talk nonsense, and went to the lobby with Qi Ning, Qi Ning made tea, and Swing Yi got straight to the point and said: "I'm looking for you to do me a favor." ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The Poison King has great powers, what else can I help with?" Isn't Duan Qingchen already ambushed? The next thing to do is for the Poison King to help me. ”

"Looking for Lu Shanghe, I naturally won't forget it." Swing Yi said: "Xiao Nizi lost Lu Shanghe's wife in Chengdu Mansion, and the old man will leave for Sichuan in the next two days, and he will definitely find his wife's whereabouts in Chengdu first." After a pause, he said softly: "Although Duan Qingchen is dead, he has not yet accepted the punishment of the Holy Sect, and I will take his corpse back to Chaowuling." ”

"Take the corpse back?" Qi Ning thought that the road from the capital to Xichuan was far away, and the weather was very hot, so he was afraid that the corpse would stink within two days of walking, but he thought that the swing was easy to use and clever means, and he was afraid that he could use medicine to keep Duan Qingchen's corpse from rotting, so he bowed his head slightly, and said, "The poison king has been arranged?" ”

Swing Yi blew his beard, glared at his eyes and said, "The corpse is in your hands, how can the old man arrange it?" ”

Qi Ning laughed, Duan Qingchen's corpse is now in the Criminal Department, Qi Ning was handed over to the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department to guard, just like if it was in Qi Ning's hands, he asked with a smile: "Does the Poison King want me to hand over the corpse to you?" ”

"When I arrived at the scene last night, the body was already in the hands of the people of the Criminal Department." Swing Yi said: "The old man is naturally not good at taking away the corpse in front of so many people, that is also ugly for you." Originally, it was not difficult for the old man to go to the criminal department to snatch the corpse, but for the sake of your face, I came to discuss with you. ”

Qi Ning knew very well in his heart that Duan Qingchen's corpse must now be under the strict guard of the Supervision and Arrest Division, and with the courage of Swing Yi, it was really not a problem to run to the Criminal Department to snatch the corpse, after all, this old guy even dared to break into the Shenhou Mansion at the beginning, but if he wanted to take away the corpse in the Criminal Department, he would inevitably have to fight with the people of the Supervision and Arrest Division, which would naturally cause a big disaster.

The previous trespass on the Shenhou Mansion, gave the Shenhou Mansion a solid mouth, and gathered eight gangs and sixteen factions to attack Chaowuling, which severely damaged the Black Lotus Sect, and Qiu Qian Yi naturally knew that if he snatched the corpse from the Criminal Department again, he was afraid that he would cause another big disaster.

Swing Yi had face-to-face contact with the emperor, and the Black Lotus Sect has never really resisted the imperial court, once the corpse is snatched, it is clear that he wants to fight against the imperial court, even if Swing Yi has that skill, but he has to weigh the consequences.

"Someone from the criminal department should be conducting an autopsy." Qi Ning said: "Handing over the corpse to the Poison King is actually not a big deal. His eyes rolled, and he groaned slightly, and then he whispered: "But I also happen to have something to trouble the poison king here, and I don't know if the gambling king can help." ”

Swing Yi frowned, thinking that this little marquis would do business, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Ning beckoned, signaling Swing Yi to come close to his ear, Swing Yi frowned slightly, but he still leaned over, Qi Ning leaned close to his ear and whispered: "I want the Poison King to help me get something." ”

"Pick up something?" Swing Yi was a little puzzled: "What is it?" ”

Qi Ning said softly: "In the Buddha Hall of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, there is a thing hidden in the Buddha shrine, which is a string of hand beads, and there is a secret ...... hidden in it!" ”

"Hand beads?" Swing Yi was even more puzzled, and said in a very low voice: "The Buddha Hall hides hand beads? So what? Why, are you going to ask the old man to help you get the hand beads? ”

Qi Ning said in a low voice: "Mrs. Tai doesn't want me to know the secret of the string of hand beads, but I really want to know .......!" ”

Swing Yi turned his head to look at Qi Ning with strange eyes, and said in a low voice: "Are you asking the old man to help you steal things in your mansion?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly." Qi Ning smiled: "It's taking, not stealing." ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Swing Yihu said suspiciously: "Qi Ning, you didn't set some trap for the old man, right?" After all, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he only feels that this fact is a little unbelievable.

Qi Ning said solemnly: "The Poison King and I are friends and enemies now, how can I put a trap on the Poison King?" To tell the truth, the experience and skills of the drug king, how many people can set up a set for you? ”

Swing Yi bowed his head slightly and said, "It's good that you know." After thinking for a while, he said: "It's not a difficult thing, when will you do it?" ”

"Tonight." Qi Ning said: "But the poison king must remember that no matter whether you succeed or not, you must not let others recognize you." ”

Swing Yi said proudly: "To put it mildly, you Jinyi Hou Mansion, the old man comes and goes freely, and the guards in the mansion can't find the trace of the old man at all." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that if you didn't have this ability, Lao Tzu wouldn't need you, and smiled lightly: "The Poison King doesn't even pay attention to the Shenhou Mansion, let alone the Jinyi Marquis Mansion." ”

Breaking into the Shenhou Mansion, this is what Qiu Qian Yi is quite proud of, at this time Qi Ning mentioned this matter, Qiu Qian Yi was inevitably a little proud, and said: "That's not what I said." It's just that the guards of your Jinyi Marquis Mansion are mediocre in martial arts, and the old man is a little careful, and they can't detect their whereabouts at all. He asked in a low voice, "When are you going to do it tonight?" ”

Qi Ning said: "Tonight, the Poison King will do it on time, once he succeeds, leave the Hou Mansion first, and then meet the Poison King." ”

"It's okay, when the time comes, you will hand over Duan Qingchen's body to the old man, and the old man will hand over the hand beads to you, one thing for another, the two do not owe each other, but it is also fair and cost-effective." Swing Yi got up, suddenly thought of something, glanced at Qi Ning, and asked, "I heard that you are now in charge of the Criminal Department, and the people of the Criminal Department will be willing to listen to your orders?" As far as the old man knows, the previous criminal department Shangshu was pulled off the horse by you. ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is the Poison King also very concerned about political affairs now?" ”

Swing Yi shook his head and said: "The affairs of the government and the opposition have never had anything to do with the old man, and the old man doesn't care. It's just that in terms of seniority, it stands to reason that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department can't take your turn, you are young, how can you convince them? ”

Qi Ning said: "Poison King, you are the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus Sect, and the means under your control are natural, in fact, I really want to ask you for advice, if the people in this criminal department disobey me, what is the way?" ”

"Not convinced?" Swing Yi laughed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's good to kill people, and it's always the best way to make an example of a hundred." With his hands behind his back, he said a word more and walked out slowly.

Qi Ning got up and watched the back of Swing Yi disappear before sighing: "If it's as simple as you say, things will be easier." When he went out, he saw a domestic servant not far away, beckoned over, and asked, "Where did Qi Feng go?" ”

"Brother Feng went out early in the morning, saying that he had something to do." The servant said respectfully.

Qi Ning let out an "oh", and suddenly remembered that he had told Qi Feng to arrange the redemption for Zhuo Xian'er, and thought that Qi Feng should go to the Qinhuai River.

When I thought of Zhuo Xian'er, I thought of her charming eyes and soft body, so I couldn't help but think for a while, and after a moment of silence, I said, "After Qi Feng comes back, let him come to see me." "I thought that I was finally free, and I just happened to practice kung fu, but don't delay my practice of martial arts because of these intrigues in the court.

Returning to the house to practice until noon, after lunch, he was about to practice the Drunken Dream Nine Style taught to Baiying, but Qi Feng came over in a hurry, Qi Ning saw him with a solemn face, and asked, "Did you go to Miss Zhuo?" ”

Qi Feng nodded and said, "Master Hou, the fairy girl is gone!" ”

"Gone?" Qi Ningqi said: "What do you mean?" ”

"Early this morning, according to Master Hou's instructions, I went to Miss Zhuo's side to discuss the redemption of my body." Qi Feng said softly: "But when I got over there, Miss Zhuo was not on the boat. The people on the boat said that Miss Zhuo had not come out of the room, so I waited on the boat, and someone went to call Miss Zhuo, and it didn't take long for me to come down and say that Miss Zhuo was not in the house, and then searched every corner of the whole boat, but found no trace of Miss Zhuo. ”

Qi Ning frowned, secretly thinking that Zhuo Xian'er was summoned into the palace by the emperor in the middle of the night? Longtai admired Zhuo Xian'er's piano skills very much, and secretly summoned him into the palace, but now it is the wedding period, and the little emperor and queen are like glue, at this time, it is reasonable to call a singer from the Qinhuai River into the palace.

"No one on the ship knows the whereabouts of Miss Zhuo?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Is there anything missing?" ”

Qi Feng shook his head and said, "Except for Miss Zhuo, who is missing, everything else is well left on the boat." Yes, they also said that Miss Zhuo's bed was cleaned up well, it seems...... Miss Zhuo didn't rest on the boat last night! ”
