Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 80 Confrontation
At this time Qi Songsheng hurried over.

He was sweating a lot, his face was covered with oil, his brows were furrowed, and there was suppressed anger in his eyes.

"Please be patient. A maid just sneaked into my backyard and not only set fire to my study, but also seriously injured my son. I ordered people to search the entire governor's mansion, but they couldn't find the hateful maid. Now only the Colorful Bird Terrace has not been searched. I suspect that the maid is hiding among you. When I find her, I will let you go home immediately. Please help and cooperate. I will give you a big gift to thank you another day!"

After listening to Qi Songsheng's explanation, the guests' attitudes softened a lot. They all expressed their understanding and willingness to cooperate with the search.

The first person Chao Yuanzhi thought of was Ning Ci. Could it be that she was the person Qi Songsheng wanted to capture?

He tried to ask, just to be on the safe side.

"I wonder what the name of that daring maid is? What does she look like?"

"Her name is Ning Ci, and she is a maidservant of the Grand Master."

As soon as Qi Songsheng said this, everyone present looked up at the seat.

At this moment, Si Buping was tasting wine leisurely.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he slowly put down his wine glass and said, "Your Excellency, you came at the right time. I just happened to need to talk to you about something. Ning Ci just came back to me crying, saying that she was almost bullied by your son, and she wanted me to take care of her."

Qi Songsheng denied it without even thinking.

"Impossible! She's talking nonsense! My son doesn't like her at all! Grand Master, don't listen to her one-sided words!"

"In that case, let her confront you face to face." Si Buping turned his eyes slightly and looked at the screen behind him. "Come out."

A slender figure walked out slowly from behind the screen.

Under the candlelight, her features gradually became clear.

It’s late in the evening!
At this time, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Qi Songsheng gnashed his teeth in hatred when he saw her: "Ning Ci, you are just a lowly maid, how could my son like you? You must have used some despicable means to seduce him, so that he took you to the study. What on earth did you go to such great lengths to do all this for?"

Yan Ciwan's eyes were filled with tears as she defended herself pitifully.

"I was looking for a toilet just now, and Qi Ming abducted me on the way. He took me to the study and wanted to humiliate me, but I refused to obey, so he used a fragrance to knock me out. When I woke up, I was already in the secret room. Qi Ming tied me up with a red rope and whipped me with a horsewhip. He said it was fun and he had played like this with other women before..."

Qi Songsheng couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted her rudely: "You are talking nonsense again! You are a slut and you are full of lies! It seems that I have to torture you, otherwise you will not tell the truth honestly!"

Yan Ciwan shrank back in fear.

She said in a trembling voice: "I am telling the truth! This is my first time in the Governor's Mansion. I am not familiar with this place at all. If Qi Ming hadn't forcibly abducted me, how would I know where the study is? I would not have known that there is a secret room hidden in the study."

Qi Songsheng obviously didn't want to hear anyone mention the secret room.

Veins bulged on his forehead and he looked at Yan Ci Wan with an extremely fierce gaze.

Yan Ciwan was like a frightened little white rabbit, with crystal tears falling down her face.

Qi Songsheng said in a hateful voice: "It must be you, little whore, who seduced my son. He was deceived by you and took you to the study room in a moment of confusion!"

The more he didn't want to mention the secret room, the more Yan Ciwan insisted on mentioning it.

She cried and shook her head: "That's not the case. He took me to the study room of his own accord, and he opened the secret room of his own accord. He liked that secret room very much because it was very hidden and soundproof. No matter what happened in the secret room, no one outside would know."

Every time she mentioned the secret room, the veins on Qi Songsheng's forehead would jump.

Si Buping seemed to be intrigued and asked, "Why is there a secret room in Governor Qi's study? What is the secret room used for?" Qi Songsheng tried hard to calm down and stay cool.

"That is a place I use for emergencies. It has no special use. I usually don't open the secret room. I have also warned my son not to enter the secret room unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Is that so?" Si Buping's tone rose slightly, as if he didn't believe it.

"The secret room has been burned to a complete mess. If the Grand Master doesn't mind, you can go and take a look at the secret room yourself."

Si Buping smiled slightly: "We'll look at the secret room another day. For now, let's sort out the conflict between your son and Ning Ci."

Seeing that he didn't go to the secret room, Qi Songsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke quickly.

"The facts are very clear. Ning Ci was up to something. She already had a grudge against me. She must have set the fire and hurt people today in order to get revenge!"

Yan Ciwan asked tearfully, "Just now you said I seduced you on purpose, and now you say I have an old grudge against Qi Ming. Since Qi Ming and I have a bad relationship, how could I seduce him? He is a man in his twenties, and suddenly he saw his enemy throwing himself at him, wouldn't he be suspicious at all? If he was suspicious, he wouldn't have taken me to the study room without any grudges. Your guess is completely self-contradictory."

Qi Songsheng was choked, his face turned pale and blue, and his expression was very interesting.

Yan Ciwan wiped away her tears and continued with sobs.

"I am not the first woman to be bullied by Qi Ming. He has used the same method to abuse other women before. Those women were victims of serial rape and murder."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Qi Songsheng laughed in anger: "Ha, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yan Ciwan's face was pale and full of tears, but she did not retreat.

Her voice was bright and clear, ensuring that everyone present could hear her clearly.

"The victims of the serial rape and murder cases had all been abused before. They all had marks from being whipped. Qi Ming had a horse whip in his hand, and he said it was his favorite whip. Now, if we compare that whip with the marks on the victims' bodies, we can know whether the person who whipped and abused them was Qi Ming."

Si Buping called an inner guard and asked him to get Qi Ming's horsewhip.

The inner guards took the order and left.

Qi Songsheng stood there, his eyes fixed on Yan Ciwan. It seemed that he was determined to kill her tonight.

Yan Ciwan shed tears silently, looking like a wronged young wife.

However, no one present paid attention to their expressions. At this time, everyone was secretly wondering whether Qi Ming was the real murderer of the serial rape and murder case?

The internal guard was very efficient and brought the whip in a short while.

One part of the whip was burnt by the fire, but fortunately the other part was intact.

Si Buping asked: "What was the result?"

Under the gaze of the crowd, the inner guard held the whip in both hands and answered respectfully: "This whip is exactly the same as the whip marks on the victim's body."

When these words were spoken, the most shocked person in the audience was Qi Songsheng.

He blurted out without thinking: "This is impossible! Ah Ming can't do such a thing!"
