[Chapter 930 Poison Soup]

Qi Ning was talking to Shen Liangqiu when he heard exclamations outside, frowning together, and then saw Director Hou almost stumbled into the hall, his face turned pale and in shock.

Shen Liangqiu frowned and said, “Mr. Hou, why are you shouting like this?”

Manager Hou said almost crying: “It’s not good, ma’am!” In a hurry, he raised his hand and pointed out: “General Shen, ma’am, she has an accident!”

Qi Ning’s heart froze, and Wei Yujiang beside him was also taken aback, but Shen Liangqiu rushed up a few steps, almost sharply asking, “What’s wrong with Madam?”

“Mrs. Madam committed suicide!” Manager Hou trembled: “General Shen, go and see!”

Shen Liangqiu grabbed Manager Hou’s arm and shouted angrily: “Director Hou, what nonsense are you talking about? Madam was fine last night, how could it be possible!” Abandoning Manager Hou, even Qi Ning couldn’t care less, and hurried to the door He rushed out, his movements were nimble, his footsteps were extremely fast, and he was already out the door in the blink of an eye.

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang looked at each other without hesitation, and quickly followed them out the door.

Although Shen Liangqiu’s footsteps are fast, Qi Ning’s footsteps are not slow. He has reached Shen Liangqiu’s side in a moment. Shen Liangqiu’s face is slightly pale, and his hands have been clenched into fists. Qi Ning noticed that Shen Liangqiu’s hands were shaking slightly.

After passing through the courtyard, he soon reached the outside of the East courtyard. Before he could see the courtyard, he heard cries coming from inside and rushed into the courtyard, only to see two maids sitting paralyzed in front of the door, crying non-stop.

Shen Liangqiu rushed to the door of the house. The door was open. He was just about to step in. He seemed to think of something, stopped, and shouted in a deep voice, “Don’t cry!”

The two maids were so frightened that they stopped crying, and Shen Liangqiu asked in a deep voice, “Is Madam inside?”

“General, madam madam she!” A maid raised her finger and pointed into the room, trembling all over, but she couldn’t say what happened next.

Qi Ning also 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 governor committed suicide, and now the wife is committing suicide again. This is not simple, there must be something strange in it.”

“General Shen, don’t worry.” Qi Ning reassured: “Wei Sishen is good at observation, wait for him to come over.”

He and Shen Liangqiu are both martial arts practitioners, full of breath and extremely fast. Wei Yujiang and General Manager Hou are already pulled far behind. Although Shen Liangqiu’s face is ugly, he is not in a hurry to enter the room. After a while, Wei Yujiang has already entered. After leaving the courtyard, Manager Hou entered the courtyard after a while.

Only then did Shen Liangqiu look at Qi Ning. When Qi Ning saw that Wei Yujiang and General Manager Hou were both coming, he nodded slightly. Shen Liangqiu was the first to enter the house, followed by Qi Ning.

As soon as he entered the room, it was the main hall. Shen Liangqiu looked to the left, and the door was also open. He took a deep breath, and then walked over slowly. Qi Ning followed behind and entered the room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw The inside is divided into two parts. The outside half is simply placed with tables and chairs. There is a large screen in the middle to separate the back half of the room. There is an entrance on each side of the screen, and you can enter the back.

On weekdays, as Mrs. Shen’s dormitory, apart from Tantai Zhilin, no man would be allowed to enter it, but such an amazing thing happened today, so naturally there is no need to avoid it.

Shen Liangqiu and Qi Ning turned to the back of the screen, and saw a beautifully decorated large bed occupying almost half of the space behind.

A plain white woman was lying quietly on the bed at this moment, with her hands on her lower abdomen, her left hand on her right hand, silently and motionless, while on the woman’s face, she was covered with a veil, The veil is very thin, so you can faintly see the woman’s face.

At this time, Qi Ning heard the footsteps behind him and turned around, Wei Yujiang followed closely behind him, but Manager Hou grabbed it from behind, “Putong” knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, “Madam, why are you doing this? I can’t think of it, what should the young master do when you leave!”

Shen Liangqiu went to the bed at this time,

He clenched his fists with both hands, his body trembled, and stared blankly at the motionless woman on the bed. Qi Ning’s expression was cold. At this time, he also found that there was a trace of blood spilling from the corner of the woman’s lips, but the blood was obviously dry.

Qi Ning turned his head and gave Wei Yujiang a wink. Wei Yujiang nodded, stepped forward, and bowed to Shen Liangqiu, then bowed deeply to the woman on the bed, and said respectfully, “Mrs. Shen, I’m offended!” Leaning forward, He leaned over to take a look, and then there was a silver needle in his hand, and he moved the silver needle carefully, Shen Liangqiu raised his hand, as if to stop, his lips moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything in the end, and slowly put his hand down.

Wei Yujiang gently pierced the silver needle into the blood vessels of Mrs. Shen’s neck, and quickly pulled it out. Soon, several people saw that the silver needle had changed color.

“Poisoned?” Qi Ning froze in his heart.

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 Director Hou, saw Director Hou crying and coughing twice, and then asked, “Mr. Hou is condolences, I have two questions for you.”

Manager Hou raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, looked at Qi Ning, and Qi Ning asked, “Director Hou just said that his wife committed suicide?”

Manager Hou said with a crying voice: “Just now, General Shen knew that Lord Hou came to see his wife, so let the old slave tell his wife. After the old slave comes, let Chuntao!” He raised his hand and pointed out: “Chuntao is outside. It’s not good for the old slave to go into the house to report directly, so I asked Chuntao to announce. After Chuntao entered the house, she called out very quickly. The old slave hurried in, and then saw the lady lying clean and tidy. On the bed, there is blood on the corners of the mouth!”

“Manager Hou, why do you know that your wife committed suicide based on this?” Qi Ning stared at Manager Hou’s eyes.

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

Wei Yujiang had already approached the past quickly, lightly lifted the jade bowl and looked at it, and soon turned to look at Manager Hou and asked, “Manager Hou, Madam is 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 looked at it, and saw that there was a small half bowl of soup left in the bowl, and there were two pieces of white fungus at the bottom, the white fungus soup should have been Clear and clean, but the rest of the soup had a maroon tinge that was clearly not right.

Mr. Hou said, “After the old slave entered the house and saw his wife like this, he knew in his heart that something was wrong. Seeing that the soup was different in color from the tremella soup that was sent before, he knew in his heart what was going on.”

“After you entered the house, you saw blood on the corner of Madam’s mouth, and then saw that the bowl of soup was wrong, so you judged that Madam committed suicide, is that the reason?” Qi Ning looked calm, stared at Manager Hou and asked.

Manager Hou nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not just like that!”

Wei Yujiang frowned when he saw Director Hou’s expression flickering: “Mr. Hou, being killed by this bowl of soup may not necessarily be suicide. It may also be someone who poisoned the soup. Why do you so easily conclude that your wife must have committed suicide?”

Shen Liangqiu looked stern and said coldly: “Mr. Hou, you are the old man of the Golden Sabre Mansion. It is because you are loyal to the Tantai family that the old Hou Ye left you here to take care of the governor. The head of the Grand Governor’s Mansion, but whether it is the Grand Governor or his wife, he has never treated you as a servant, but as an elder.” Taking a step forward, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Mr. Hou: “Now the great governor committed suicide, and now the lady is committing suicide again. Tell me, is there anything you haven’t said?”

Manager Hou was shocked and lowered his head, but Qi Ning walked over slowly and said warmly, “Mr. Manager, if you really know something, you might as well say it so that you can understand these things. If the Governor and his wife really Suicide, that’s fine, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com But if there is really another reason, if you hide it and don’t say it, wouldn’t you be ashamed of the governor and his wife?”

Manager Hou raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and said sadly, “It’s all the old slaves.” Looking at Shen Liangqiu, he said, “General Shen, after you saw your lady leave last night, the lady said something wrong to me. , I didn’t tell you in time, it was all my fault.”

“What did the lady say to you?”

Manager Hou said sadly: “The madam gave me a small box. After I opened it, I found that it was full of fine and soft gold and silver, and there were some silver notes in it. It was strange at the time. The madam asked me to put it away and said to me, If something really happens to her, I will distribute that box to everyone in the house, don’t leave anyone behind, and say that it is thanks to everyone for all these years!”

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang looked at each other, while Shen Liangqiu stared at Director Hou’s eyes.

“As soon as the old slave heard his wife’s explanation, he felt that something was not right, and persuaded his wife not to think too much. Most of the governors passed away, and the wife was saddened, but after all, the young master is still there.” Manager Hou sighed: “The old slave persuaded the wife to look at the young master. For her sake, I also want her to take good care of her body, she didn’t say much at the time, and told me to put away the box and not mention it to anyone, otherwise the old slave would not be able to treat her.”

Shen Liangqiu took a deep breath and said, “Manager Hou, Mrs. obviously already has thoughts of suicide. Why didn’t you tell me last night? Even if Mrs. has warned me, how can I hide such a big event?”

“The old slave is in a daze, thinking that the young master is here, and the madam will never do it for the sake of the young master!” Manager Hou suddenly raised his hand, slapped himself in the face, and blamed himself. “It’s all me being confused, it’s all me being confused!” He took two strokes, Qi Ning had already reached out to grab his arm, shook his head and said, “Don’t be like this, boss, I ask you, who brought this bowl of soup? “
