Chapter 870 Missing
Qi Ning was amused. Seeing the carriage leave, he asked General Manager Han: "Mrs. Third Lady has eaten in the past two days?"
"When the marquis said, I didn't eat much, but it was better than before." Han Shou replied, "But the third lady has not been in good health these days, and she has not been out of the yard much. The third lady also lets the old slave deal with the trivial matters in the mansion." He looked around and approached Qi Ning and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, the third lady doesn't let the doctor hire him, and he doesn't care much about the affairs in the mansion. This...!" He stopped talking.
"Mr. Han, what do you want to say?"
Han Shou hesitated for a moment before saying, "I saw that the third wife was in poor spirits these days. Are you...Is there something wrong with me or something difficult? I dare not ask too much, the Marquis... I might as well ask."
Qi Ning naturally knew what Gu Qinghan’s heart disease was.
Before, Gu Qinghan only thought that Qi Ning could still be calm and comfortable without knowing the arrangements of the Grandmaster, but since she learned that Qi Ning understood the truth, her emotions have been very unstable and she is worried every day.
Qi Ning can understand it too.
Although the Jinyi Marquis Mansion is not small, it is just a mansion after all. The Madam Tai is the real owner of this mansion, and the mansion may be full of Madam Tai's eyeliners.
Gu Qinghan was obviously worried that the grandmother had already known that she had a private ambiguous relationship with her. 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 the problem at this time, Gu Qinghan would always be in a panic all day long and feel a little depressed. She thought to herself that it would be a bit embarrassing to think that an old woman who was about to be silly could make herself so passive.
He knew that to control the Tai Madam, he must first solve the problem of bullheads and horse faces, otherwise rash actions may bring extremely serious consequences.
The NiuTao and Horse Face must be from the Marquis' Mansion, and it is close to the Tai Madam. Although there are still some clues left, Qi Ning did not dare to make a judgment lightly. Once he judged the wrong object, he would immediately be alerted by the real NiuTao and Horse Face, and this would make the situation even more dangerous.
But this matter cannot be delayed for a long time. After all, Qi Ning can imagine the pressure that Gu Qinghan has to bear every day. He doesn't want Gu Qinghan to be depressed because of this matter.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside and said, "Qining!"
Qi Ning was stunned, thinking that there were still people who dared to call their names these days. When he looked back, he saw an old man in brocade clothes coming to the mansion outside the gate of the Marquis’ Mansion. The guards guarding in front of the gate were about to stop him. When Qi Ning saw the visitor, he waved his hand to signal the guard to retreat and said with a smile: "Senior Qiu is here, and he is not welcome!"
The visitor was Swing Yi, and Qi Ning couldn't call him the Poison King in front of others.
Swing Yi was dressed as a rich man and was serious. When he came in, he didn't talk nonsense. He went to the lobby with Qi Ning. Qi Ning asked someone to go to tea. Swing Yi said straight to the point: "I'll help you."
Qi Ning was stunned and then smiled and said, "The Poison King has great magical powers. What else can I help? Didn't Duan Qingchen be killed? Next, it should be the Poison King who helps me."
"I will naturally not forget to find Lu Shanghe." Swing Yi said: "The little girl lost Lu Shanghe's wife in Chengdu Prefecture. I will set off for the next two days to return to Sichuan. At that time, I will definitely find his wife's whereabouts in Chengdu." After pausing, I whispered: "Although Duan Qingchen is dead, he has not yet received the punishment of the Holy Church. I want to take his body back to Chaowuling."
"Take the corpse back?" Qi Ning thought that the road from Beijing to Xichuan was far away. The weather was very hot. I was afraid that the corpse would smell bad for two days after walking out. But I also thought that the swing was very skillful, and I was afraid that I could use medicine to protect Duan Qingchen's corpse from rotting. I nodded slightly and said, "Has the poison king arranged it?"
Swing Yi blew his beard and stared at him, "The body is in your hands, how can I arrange it?"
Qi Ning laughed, Duan Qingchen's body was now in the Ministry of Justice, and Qi Ning handed it over to the guards of the Supervisory Office of the Ministry of Justice. If it was in Qi Ning's hands, he asked with a smile: "Does the Poison King want me to hand over the body to you?"
"When I arrived at the scene last night, the body was already in the hands of the people of the Ministry of Justice." Swing Yi said: "Of course I can't take the body away in front of so many people, it's also ugly for you. Originally, it was not difficult for me to go to the Ministry of Justice to steal the body away, but it was taken into consideration your face, so I came here to discuss it with you."
Qi Ning knew very well that Duan Qingchen's body must be under the strict guard of the Supervisory Office. With the courage of swing Yi, it was really not a problem to run to the Ministry of Justice to steal the body. After all, this old guy dared to break in at the Marquis of God's Mansion, but to take away the body from the Ministry of Justice, he would have to fight with the people in the Supervisory Office, which would naturally cause a big disaster.
The previous episode of the Shenhou Mansion was trespassed, and the Shenhou Mansion was informed. Eight gangs and sixteen factions were gathered to attack Chaowuling and severely injured the Black Lotus Sect. Swing Yi naturally knew that if he robbed the body from the Ministry of Justice again, he would probably cause another disaster.
Swing Yi had face-to-face contact with the emperor, and the Black Lotus Sect never really resisted the court. Once the body was snatched, it was obvious that it was going to fight against the court. Even if Swing Yi had such skills, he had to weigh the consequences.
"The people from the Ministry of Justice should be taking a autopsy." Qi Ning said: "It is not a big deal to hand over the body to the Poison King." His eyes rolled, he pondered slightly before whispering: "But there happened to be something that I have to trouble the Poison King. I don't know if the Gambler King can help each other."
Swing Yi frowned, thinking that this little marquis would do business, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qi Ning waved his hand and signaled that Swing Yi would approach his ear. Swing Yi frowned slightly, but he still came over. Qi Ning approached his ear and whispered: "I want the Poison King to get something for me."
"Pick up something?" Swing Yi was a little confused: "What?"
Qi Ning whispered: "In the Buddhist temple of Jinyi Hou Mansion, there is something hidden in the Buddhist niche. It is a string of hand beads, and there is a secret hidden inside...!"
"Hand beads?" Swing Yi was even more confused and said in a very low voice: "There is hand beads hidden in the Buddhist temple? So what? What, are you going to ask me to help you get the hand beads?"
Qi Ning whispered: "The lady of the Taila doesn't want me to know the secret of the hand beads, but I really want to know...!"
Swing Yi turned his head and looked at Qi Ning with a weird look, and lowered his voice: "Are you asking me to steal things for you in your mansion?"
"The gambling king should not say it so badly." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Is it to take or not to steal."
"What the hell are you going to do?" Swing Yi said suspiciously: "Qinning, aren't you setting a trap for me?" After all, he has been in the world for many years, and he only thinks this fact is a bit incredible.
Qi Ning said solemnly: "The Poison King is now a friend and not an enemy, so how can I put a trap on the Poison King? To be honest, how many people can set you up a trap for the Poison King's experience and skills in the world?"
Swing Yi nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you know." After thinking for a while, he said, "This is not a difficult task. When will I take action?"
"It's OK tonight." Qi Ning said: "But the Poison King must remember that no matter whether you succeed or not, you must never let others recognize you."
Swing Yi said arrogantly: "To be honest, you, the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, are free to come and go. The guards in the mansion can't find my trace at all."
Qi Ning thought to myself that if you don’t have this ability, I won’t be able to use you. She chuckled and said, “The Poison King doesn’t even take the God Marquis’ Mansion seriously, let alone the Jinyi Marquis’ Mansion.”
When you break into the Shenhou Mansion, this is what Swing Yi is quite proud of. At this time, when Qi Ning mentioned this, Swing Yi was inevitably a little proud, and said, "That's not the case. It's just that your guards in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion are mediocre in martial arts. I'm a little careful, so they can't notice their whereabouts at all." He asked in a low voice: "When will you do it tonight?"
Qi Ning said: "At midnight tonight, the Poison King will take action on time. Once you succeed, leave the Marquis' Mansion first and then meet the Poison King."
"Okay, then you hand over Duan Qingchen's body to me, and I will hand over the hand beads to you. If you exchange items for each other, it will be fair and cost-effective." Swing Yi stood up, suddenly thought of something, looked at Qi Ning, and asked, "I heard that you are in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and the people from the Ministry of Justice will be willing to obey your orders? As far as I know, the Minister of Justice was pulled down by you before."
Qi Ning was stunned and then smiled and said, "Does the Poison King also care about politics now?"
Swing Yi shook his head and said, "The affairs of the government and the country have never had anything to do with me, and I don't care. Just in terms of seniority, the Minister of Justice will not be your turn. You are young, how can you convince them?"
Qi Ning said: "Politic King, you are the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus Sect. The way you control your subordinates is natural. In fact, I really want to ask you for advice. If the people from the Ministry of Justice do not accept me, what are the solutions?"
"Don't accept it?" Swing Yi laughed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Just killing someone, killing one to warn a hundred is always the best way." He carried his hands on his back and said nothing more, and walked out slowly.
Qi Ning stood up and watched the Swing Yi disappear, and then sighed, "If it is as simple as you said, things will be easier." After going out, he saw a servant not far away, waved over and asked, "Where has Qi Feng gone?"
"Brother Feng went out early in the morning and said he had something to do." The servant said respectfully.
Qi Ning said "Oh" and suddenly remembered the matter of telling Qi Feng to arrange for Zhuo Xian'er to redeem himself, thinking that Qi Feng should have gone to Qinhuai River.
When I thought of Zhuo Xian'er, I thought of her charming eyes and her soft body, I couldn't help but think. After pondering for a while, I said, "After Qi Feng comes back, let him see me." I thought that I finally got free, and I just practiced my kung fu, so don't delay my martial arts practice because of these intrigues in the court.
After lunch, I was going back to the house to practice qigong until noon. After lunch, I was about to practice the nine-style Drunken Dream taught to Baiying diligently, but Qi Feng came over hurriedly. Seeing that he looked solemn, Qi Ning asked, "Did you go to Miss Zhuo?"
Qi Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Marquis, Miss Xian'er is gone!"
"Absent?" Qi Ningqi said: "What does it mean?"
"Early early this morning, I went to Miss Zhuo's side to discuss the redemption of her life as the marquis told me." Qi Feng whispered: "But when I got there, Miss Zhuo was not on the boat. The people on the boat said that Miss Zhuo had never come out of the room, so I waited on the boat. Someone went to call Miss Zhuo. Not long after, I got down and said that Miss Zhuo was not in the house. Then I searched every corner of the entire pleasure boat, but no trace of Miss Zhuo was found."
Qi Ning frowned and wondered if Zhuo Xian'er was summoned to 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 during the wedding. The little emperor and the queen are inseparable. At this time, it is logically impossible to summon a singer from the Qinhuai River to the palace.
"No one on the boat knows where Miss Zhuo?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "But what is missing?"
