Chapter 288 Orchid 59

At night, in Xing Shirong's room in the Governor's Mansion.

Xing Shirong slowly closed the door, put the latch on, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He gently took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, took out a package of things from the pocket of the coat, then turned around and walked into the room, closed the door, gently lowered the curtain on the bed, and burrowed in. .

On Xing Shirong's back, a square wound measuring one and a half inches and half a foot wide was exposed, which is shocking!Obviously, people who have been severely tortured all year round can have such injuries, and the punishment used is not simple.

The muscles on Xing Shirong's face twitched. His right hand picked up a handful of white powder from the paper bag and sprinkled it lightly on the wound. After a burst of pain, Xing Shirong let out a soft cry, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. .

He panted heavily for a long time, picked up his shirt and put it on lightly, and slowly lay down on the bed.

Everything was silent, and everything was pitch black.

Only the main hall of the Dudu Mansion was still lit.

A black shadow rushed to the front of the main hall like lightning, it was Coral Snake.

She stretched out her hand and gently opened the window paper and looked inside, and saw Qi Changchun walking slowly in the room.

A single lamp flickered on and off.

Qi Changchun's body swayed rhythmically, his steps were slow but solid.

His eyes were fixed on the front, thinking quietly.

"Xing Shirong, Xing Shirong..." Suddenly, he stopped, raised his head and said softly.

As the night deepened, Xing Shirong was already fast asleep.

Suddenly there was a hissing sound, and a silver ring snake quickly swam into the door and stopped in front of Xing Shirong's bed, with its body coiled up and its head raised high.

Xing Shirong seemed to hear the voice, and Yan Jing moved.

The silver ring snake rushed onto the bed with a 'swish' sound, Xing Shirong suddenly opened his eyes, a three-cornered snake head was facing his eyes, Xing Shirong let out a low exclamation.

The snake remained motionless, looking at him quietly.

Xing Shirong took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

There is a person sitting on the opposite chair, it is Coral Snake!

"Who are you?" Xing Shirong asked in a low voice, frightened out of his wits.

"Why, I don't know you anymore? I saved your life!" Silver Ring Snake stood up slowly, walked in front of him, and asked jokingly.

"Ah, it's...it's you. Coral snake!" Xing Shirong looked at her carefully.

The silver ring snake nodded, reached out to lift the poisonous snake on the bed and put it on the ground, and the poisonous snake quickly swam towards the door.

Coral Snake took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped his hands lightly.

"Hu Lingli asked you to contact me?" Xing Shirong said.

"Exactly." Coral Snake nodded.

The door of the west wing opened, and a servant came out with his clothes on, sleepy, and wanted to go to the east toilet.

When he passed the front of the main house where Xing Shirong lived, he heard someone whispering inside, so he stopped in his tracks.

The voices died away.

The servant tiptoed towards the door of the main room.

Low voices came from the room again, and he lay down by the door, listening quietly.

Suddenly, there was a hissing sound from under his feet, and the servant turned his head.

A poisonous snake raised its head high, staring at him with triangular eyes, and its tongue stretched rapidly.

The servant backed away slowly, trembling, but the poisonous snake remained motionless.

Suddenly, the servant stumbled and lost his balance. The poisonous snake screamed and swooped over, biting his throat tightly. He let out a short cry and fell heavily on the ground.

In the main hall, Qi Changchun wrote something quickly.

"Master, you called me." The door creaked open, Qi Changgui walked in, and said softly.

"Eight hundred li to hurry up, send this letter to Yong'an City, and hand it over to Mr. Shi Qizhi face to face." Qi Changchun nodded, put away the brush, picked up the letter paper on the desk, blew on it, folded it and put it in the envelope, Align with Changgui Road.

Qi Changgui agreed, took the letter, turned and ran out the door.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Changgui was already carrying the "Mingzhou Eight Hundred Miles Urgent" paper bag, and galloped on the official road.

Qi Changchun walked slowly through the path in the garden of the Dudu Mansion.

In the distance, a dozen servants were busy coming and going under Yuan Fang's command.

"Yuan Fang." Qi Changchun felt strange, stopped his figure, turned around and called.

"My lord, you've woken up so early." In the distance, Yuan Fang turned her head.

Qi Changchun waved to him, Yuan Fang gave some instructions to the servants and walked over quickly.

"Yuan Fang, what are you doing?" Qi Changchun asked.

Yuan Fang replied. "Oh, that's right. Last night, a servant in the East Flower Hall was bitten to death by a snake. The steward came to report this morning. I think it's better not to alarm the experts. This time, I'm directing the servants to lay the body and prepare The coffin is packed."

Qi Changchun nodded. "Tell the steward to give more money to the family of the deceased."

"Yes, I have already ordered you to do so," Yuan Fang said.

"You go." Qi Changchun said 'hmm'.

Yuan Fang turned and left.

"Wait!" Qi Changchun continued to walk forward. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Yuan Fang and shouted.

"My lord, what else can I order?" Yuan Fang turned around.

"You just said it was the East Flower Hall?" Qi Changchun said.

"That's right. The servant died in front of the east toilet, probably because he was bitten by a snake while going to the toilet at night." Yuan Fang said.

"East Flower Hall, Lord Xing lives there!" Qi Changchun didn't answer, but just said to himself.

"Oh, I have already gone to check on you this morning, Master Xing is all right." Yuan Fang said hastily.

"You mean that servant was killed by a snake?" Qi Changchun raised his head.

"Exactly." Yuan Fang said.

"Take me to look at the corpse." Qi Changchun raised his head in deep thought.

The servant's body was lying on Dangjia, his face was gray and black, his eyes were wide open, and there were two obvious small holes in his throat.

Qi Changchun knelt down slowly, inspecting the servant's pupils, while Yuan Fang stood aside and watched quietly.

"It's a snake bite, that's for sure." Qi Changchun rubbed his finger on the wound on the servant's throat, then put his finger on his nose and smelled it, and nodded.

Yuan Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

"Yuan Fang, you mean, he is lying in front of the east gate." Qi Changchun stood up.

"Exactly." Yuan Fang said.

"Which direction is the head facing?" Qi Changchun asked.

"The door facing the east," Yuan Fang said.

Qi Changchun was deep in thought.

"My lord, is there something wrong?" Yuan Fang said.

"The ones with their heads facing east mean that he was bitten to death by a snake before entering the east toilet, right?" Qi Changchun smiled.

"It should be." Yuan Fang nodded.

"This is a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, when a poisonous snake attacks a person, the wound should be on the heel' calf, or at most reach the thigh. Because snakes have no waist, it is impossible to jump high and attack like tigers and leopards. Therefore, usually Snake bite wounds are relatively low. But look, this servant's wound is actually in the throat..." Qi Changchun said.

"In my lord's opinion..." Yuan Fang nodded.

"There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the poisonous snake was entrenched on the beam in the east toilet, and was alarmed by the servants, and attacked from top to bottom." Qi Changchun said.

"It makes sense." Yuan Fang nodded, there were stars in her eyes, Liu Gaoyang looked at it, and snorted inwardly.

"It doesn't make sense!" Liu Gaoyang muttered in his heart.

"It doesn't make sense!" Qi Changchun smiled and shook his head.
