The emperor gave the title, and the Hou Mansion was jubilant, and Gu Qinghan was also prepared, so that the account office gave everyone a reward. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Back in the lobby, Yang Ning saw that the two boxes given by the emperor were still on the table, and smiled at Gu Qinghan: "Sanniang, what do you say is in this?" The old eunuch said that it was a treasure, and it should be expensive, and we really need to be short of silver, and if we sell these two things, we will definitely be able to sell them for a great price. ”

Gu Qinghan glanced at Yang Ning, and said angrily: "This is something that the Holy Lord just gave you, and you still want to sell them?" Mo said that the Hou Mansion would not fall to the point where it could not be opened, and even if it really reached that point, the things given by the Holy God could not be sold. Someone is staring at you for a mistake and looking for your handle, and if you sell what the Holy God has given you, will you not give it to others? ”

Yang Ning laughed: "I'm just joking." He said: "I said that this emperor is really, what treasures to give, it can't be turned into cash, you really have to have a heart, and it is true to reward tens of thousands of taels of gold." ”

Gu Qinghan raised his hand and gently patted the back of Yang Ning's hand, and blamed: "Ning'er, you are already a Hou Ye, you must be more careful when you speak in the future, don't say these disrespectful words, the wall has ears, and if you want to be heard, you will have trouble." ”

Yang Ning saw that these two boxes were one large and one small, with exquisitely made mechanisms, and the switch was also very conspicuous, and opened the big box, the box opened, and there was a faint light inside, Gu Qinghan glanced at it, and saw that there was a sword-shaped jade in the wooden box.

Yang Ning carefully took it out, only to see that the material was indeed a fine white jade, but it was made into the shape of a sword.

"What does that mean?" Yang Ning was puzzled: "Jade sword? This is rare. ”

Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "The meaning of the saint should be that the Marquis of Jinyi is outstanding, and this jade sword is to remind us that the Hou Mansion is still a sword of Great Chu, or rather, I hope you will become a sword of Great Chu to protect the country." ”

"Sanniang is right." Yang Ning nodded slightly, he thought it was a rare treasure, but it turned out to be just a piece of jade.

Although the quality of this jade is not bad, it is actually fake, and it can't be sold for a lot of money.

He put the jade sword into the box and opened the small box, thinking that since the emperor gave something, he couldn't be too stingy, the jade sword was not too expensive, it should just be a symbolic meaning, the real good product should be in the small box, who knew that after opening it, he found that the box was empty, and he couldn't help but be stunned, Gu Qinghan was also a little puzzled.

"What's this about?" Yang Ning was a little annoyed, "How can you send empty boxes when you send things?" ”

"Ning'er, inside..... There's a piece of paper in it. Gu Qinghan reached in and picked up a piece of paper, thinking that something would be written on it, but when he looked at it carefully, it turned out to be a blank piece of paper, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was even more puzzled.

Yang Ning originally had some expectations for the things in the small box, but who knew that not only did he not have any treasures, but he didn't even have a piece of jade, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Sanniang, it seems that our new emperor is very picky." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Qinghan observed carefully, and really couldn't find any clues on the white paper, and said suspiciously: "Since the Holy Lord gave this thing, it will never be without a reason, it's just ...... It's just a blank piece of paper, and there is not a single word, so what does that mean? ”

"Sanniang, don't say that the emperor wants me to be as pure and immaculate as this blank piece of paper." Yang Ning sat down, "I thought I could make a fortune today, but now it's good, it cost a lot of silver to send those eunuchs, even if we sell this jade sword, it can't be worth the silver we sent, this transaction is a big loss." ”

Gu Qinghan also sat down on the side, looking at the white paper thoughtfully.

"That's right." Yang Ning suddenly raised his eyebrows, thought of something, and shouted outside the hall: "Second Brother Duan, Duan Canghai, you hurry up." ”

Duan Canghai was outside at this time, and when he heard the shout, he rushed in and said with a smile: "Does Master Hou want to reward me for anything?" No need, the third lady has already given the reward, but it's ......! ”

He was smiling, Yang Ning glanced at him, pointed to the white paper in Gu Qinghan's hand, and said, "This is a treasure given by the emperor, look at where it is precious?" ”

Gu Qinghan handed it over, Duan Canghai took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "Master Hou, this is something given by the Holy Lord?" A look of suspicion.

Yang Ning said: "You can't see any fame, right?" I called you in because you are well-informed. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Duan Canghai was humble and said with a smile: "Hou Ye can afford it, does Hou Ye have something to ask?" ”

"It's good to know." Yang Ning leaned back in his chair and said lazily: "I heard that some papers, at first glance, you can't see anything, you have to soak in water or roast it over the fire to show the handwriting, don't you say this?" ”

Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "No." The kind of method that Hou Ye said is indeed used, but paper like that has a characteristic, that is, the paper is old, so it can be used to do tricks. This blank paper is brand new, I can see at a glance that I have not done anything wrong, if Hou Ye doesn't believe it, we can try it. ”

Yang Ning was just a whim, but he still believed in Duan Canghai's words very much, and since he said so, then this blank piece of paper really didn't do anything.

"Forget it, let's take it first, the emperor asked us to guess the riddle, we can't guess, one day the emperor will tell us." Although Yang Ning was knighted, the things given by the emperor were really shabby, and the previous excitement disappeared.

However, for the Hou Mansion, this is of course a major event, and it is also something that must be celebrated.

The capital is in an extraordinary period, and it is naturally impossible to put on a banquet with lanterns, but Gu Qinghan still let the mansion Zhang Luo have a while, and he celebrates in the mansion.

On the wine table, at first Yang Ning just drank a few sips at random, but he was easy-going, and there was no shelf, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion came forward one by one to congratulate and toast, although Yang Ning tried his best to control it, but he drank until the middle of the night, but he was still drunk, a little dizzy, and was helped back to the room by Duan Canghai to rest.

Duan Canghai himself also drank a lot, and sent someone to wait outside Yang Ning's house before returning to the house to rest.

Yang Ning didn't know how long he had been asleep, he only felt that something was wrong in the daze, he opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, but felt a tingling pain in his thigh, and then felt a slimy thing squirming on his thigh, he was taken aback, at this time it was not yet dawn, the lights in the house had been turned off, and he couldn't see what it was.

Yang Ning was covered in cold sweat, grabbed the snake with both hands, and felt a stinging pain on the back of his hand, and was bitten again.

"Mom, it's going to be over this time." Yang Ning's drunkenness at this time had already disappeared, after being bitten, in the dark, he had already seen the location of the snake's head clearly, since he had been bitten twice, he no longer had any scruples, he reached out, the speed was extremely fast, he had already grabbed the snake's head, and accurately pinched the snake's seven inches.

This snake is not thick, Yang Ning's strength is not small, he pinched seven inches hard, felt the snake wrap around his arm and contracted, snorted suddenly, pulled hard, he used all his strength this time, ripped the snake alive, and then threw the snake out violently.

When he shouted, he heard movement outside, and someone had already said outside the door: "Master Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

"There are snakes!" Yang Ning felt that there was already some hair in front of him, the world was spinning, and after he struggled, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained in an instant, he knew that this was definitely not caused by alcohol, it must be that the snake venom had attacked, if it was silent, no one would know if he was afraid of dying inside, so he pulled his throat and shouted: "Hurry up..... Hurry up and .......! ”

The man knew that things were not good, and he didn't care about anything else, so he kicked the door open hard, and saw that Yang Ning had rolled off the bed and was struggling on the ground, so he rushed over to hold on to him, and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Called...... Call Miss Tang ......! Yang Ning only felt that it was dark in front of him at this time, he couldn't see anything, and his chest was stuffy, and it was already very difficult to breathe, "I..... I'm poisoned ......! ”

The man knew that he could not delay, so he turned and ran out, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, no, come on, come .....!" ”

Soon, several people rushed into the courtyard, although the Hou Mansion held a banquet to celebrate tonight, but did not neglect the guards, hearing the movement, the nearby guards have quickly arrived.

"Hurry up and find Miss Tang over, Master Hou has been poisoned ......!"

"What? Quick, find Miss Tang! ”

"Hurry up and go to the third lady, yes, you hurry up and talk to Second Brother Duan, and the others hurry up and search around, there are assassins entering the house."

There was a commotion, and it didn't take long for the house to be filled with sounds.

Yang Ning was lying on the ground, feeling that all the places on his body seemed to have become senseless, and only his brain was still very clear at this time.

He was horrified.

He knew very well that ordinary poisonous snakes, no matter how poisonous they were, could not have flare up so violently in such a short period of time, and the rapid spread of this poison was also incredible.

Moreover, in the Hou Mansion, there are people cleaning everywhere every day, and the courtyard where he lives is extremely clean, and it is impossible for poisonous snakes to enter the house.

In the middle of the night, a snake appeared on his bed, and it was extremely poisonous, which was no accident.

Someone wants their own life?

Yang Ning usually doesn't care about many things, but when he encounters major events, especially when it is critical, he can maintain absolute calm.

At this time, he had already thought that someone must be trying to take his life by borrowing this poisonous snake, but who was the other party? The Hou Mansion has been heavily guarded, especially in the last few days, it has been tightly guarded, who can sneak into the Hou Mansion to poison himself? If no one can sneak in, is it possible that someone in the Hou Mansion wants to attack him?

If Qi Yu's mother and son and Chief Manager Qiu were still alive, Yang Ning would definitely think of them, but these people had already been expelled from the Hou Mansion, so naturally it was impossible for them to do it, and they didn't have such skills.

He heard the sound of footsteps in the house, and someone on the side shouted anxiously, but he could only clearly hear the movement around him, but he couldn't see anything, and his body was like wood, and he didn't feel anything.
