"Not long after you left today, your female master came." Xia Xinyi pointed to the snake soup on the table.
Xia Shang looked a little confused: "Female master? Is it the second master Chu Xinru?"
"She knows how to do it."
"Master, didn't they all go into seclusion? How could they appear?"
"I don't know about this." Xia Xinyi said calmly, "But she held a lot of snakes, which shocked me. I had never seen those snakes before. They were all very small and snow-white. There were more than a dozen of them.
.”
Xia Shang's heart tightened, that snake must be a snow viper.
"Your master said that this snake is a good thing and a great tonic, so he asked me to make snake soup, which has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. The snake skin can be used as medicine, and it can be sold to the drug store for a good price."
Xia Shang frowned: "Is that what Second Master said?"
"Yes, after the second master said that, he threw down a bunch of dead snakes and left. I couldn't figure out the situation. I don't dare to eat snake meat. I originally said that I would let the servants deal with it. But then
A servant came back and said that those snake skins were sold at the drug store for 800 taels of silver. I was stunned at that time. I didn't expect those snake skins to be so valuable. What your master said must be correct, that little snake is indeed
Good stuff, it may really beautify your skin. So I stew it and eat it.”
Xia Shang felt a little incredible after hearing this. A house full of effeminate women could actually eat snake meat?
It turns out that they were all brave enough to eat for the sake of beauty and beauty!
It seems that no matter what age, women's desire for beauty is the same.
But what made Xia Shang even more unexpected was that the second master took action to deal with the snake hiding in the house.
Now that the second master has taken action, Xia Shang still believes that the potential threat to his family has been resolved. Seeing that everyone in his family is well, he feels relieved.
The women in the house asked Xia Shang why he came back in such a hurry. Xia Shang did not elaborate, nor did he eat with them. He took Yu Ji with him to another unoccupied room.
Xia Shang still needs Yu Jili to confirm whether his home is really safe.
Yu Ji can't guarantee it, and needs to go to every corner of the hero village to make a judgement.
At the same time, I was also surprised by the master from Xia Shang. He was able to find the snow viper in such a short period of time. He must have extraordinary abilities.
In the following time, Xia Shang and Yu Ji began to investigate in the Hero Manor.
The Hero Village is very large, and it is impossible to check every detail.
I have to say that the hero Zhuang Xia Shang has been transferred to Zhuangzi several times. Xia Shang is very clear about what there is in Zhuangzi.
But Xia Shang didn't quite understand what happened today. Several masters said they were retreating in Zhuangzi, but where exactly were they retreating?
Ever since they went into seclusion, I have never seen them again.
Xia Shang had always thought that the masters were not retreating in the Hero Manor, but today there were a large number of snow vipers in the manor, and it was the second master who took action to clean them up. It proved that the second master had been in the manor, observing Zhuangzi's movements, otherwise he would not have
Will take action in such a timely manner.
Xia Xinyi said that she left the snake and left, and then never appeared again.
None of the servants saw her again, and she seemed to have disappeared from the world.
It is true that the divine dragon has seen its head but not its tail.
With doubts, Xia Shang and Yu Ji walked around the village. What Yu Ji was sure of was that there would be no snow vipers in any place that could not be checked.
But the good news didn't last long. Three servants dragged a dead horse to the gate of Zhuangzi on a cart.
Seeing the horse, everyone in Zhuangzi felt uneasy.
After receiving the news, Xia Shang also ran to the door of Zhuangzi, braved the snowy weather, and before he could breathe out a breath of cold air, he gasped when he saw the dead horse in front of him.
"Is this Chunjiao's black wind?"
"Yes." The servant who brought the horse back responded seriously.
"how so?"
"Sir, we all returned home for the New Year. We saw Hei Feng's body not far from the west city gate. After inspection, it seemed that he was poisoned..."
As he said this, the servant pointed at Heifeng's hind leg that had been bitten by a snake.
At this time, Black Wind's hind legs were completely surrounded by gray spots and were as hard as iron and stone.
Yu Ji, who had been following Xia Shang, frowned and lowered her voice in Xia Shang's ear: "It's the poison of the snow viper."
Xia Shang frowned: "Have you found Chunjiao?"
"Sir, we only saw the black wind."
"Are there any signs of fighting around there?"
"I didn't see it, but I found a dead little white snake. Maybe the horse was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake."
Xia Shang did not answer. He thought for a while and said with a stern face: "Dispose of the body and no one can publicize this matter."
After saying that, Xia Shang hurriedly took Yu Ji back to an empty room.
In the deserted room, Xia Shang directly expressed his thoughts.
"Tell me, do you have any clues?"
Yu Ji thought for a while: "My subordinates can only guess that someone else from the Spring Textile Department is eyeing the adults. Someone must be controlling these snakes, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence, and the horses would not die outside.
Chunjiao will not be heard from until now."
"Others from the Spring Textile Department? For example?"
"For example, Jin Niang."
"The original head of the Spring Textile Department?"
"It's very possible that the appearance of your Excellency has shaken Jin Niang's two eyes, one is a subordinate and the other is Chun Kui. According to the subordinate's understanding of Jin Niang, she is not a generous old woman, and at the same time she is a
She is a very arrogant person. If she learns that it is an adult who opposes her again, the first person she will have to deal with is not Chun Kui and me, but you, my lord. My lord, if this is really a counterattack by the Chunfang Department, you should
Be careful, Jin Niang is a very mysterious and capable woman, there is only very little information about her in the world, and even my subordinates’ understanding of her is not useful at all.”
"Jinniang?"
I had to deal with her before, but I couldn't do it because I didn't have any information about her. Now that she has come to my door, I want him to know who is the real head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Yu Ji looked at Xia Shang, a little confused. According to her understanding, Xia Shang's power at the moment was not enough to confront Jin Niang, so where did his confidence come from?
Yu Ji asked more questions and said: "Sir, the first priority now is to find Chunjiao, if she has not been captured yet."
"If Chunjiao's disappearance is related to Jinniang, do you think Chunjiao has a chance to escape?"
Yu Ji took a deep breath: "It's difficult..." (To be continued)
