Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 81 Misunderstanding
Si Buping calmly asked back: "Does the Governor of Qi think that the people under my command are lying and giving false testimony?"

Qi Songsheng tried his best to keep himself calm.

"I didn't mean that. I was just too shocked to believe it was true. Qi Ming is my son. I know him better than anyone else. He is a little naughty, but he is not a bad person. He can't be the real murderer of the serial rape and murder case. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?" Yan Ciwan asked tearfully, her voice strong and powerful. "Nine lives lost can be easily covered up with just these two words?"

Qi Songsheng got angry when he saw her.

But he knew that now was not the time to get angry. The other party had produced evidence that was unfavorable to Qi Ming. The situation was now very unfavorable to Qi Ming. The most urgent task at the moment was to find a way to prove Qi Ming's innocence.

He suppressed his anger and retorted, "Although the whip belongs to my son, it is possible that someone else could have come into contact with it. Maybe someone secretly stole the whip and committed a crime, and then framed my son. My son is a handsome man, and his family background and talent are not the best, but they are also top-notch. If he likes a girl, he can just tell me directly, and my wife and I will naturally ask a matchmaker to come and mediate for him. Why would he rape and kill someone first?"

Many people present were persuaded by Qi Songsheng. With Qi Ming's identity, there was really no need for him to take such a big risk just for the beauty.

But because Si Buping was still sitting at the top, he didn't say anything, so naturally the others didn't dare to speak.

You could hear a pin drop in the banquet hall.

The night wind blew in through the doors and windows, ruffling Yan Ciwan's hair and skirt.

She raised her hand to tidy up her messy hair and said softly, "Qi Ming does look like a decent person, but in fact he suffers from a hidden disease and cannot move. He found a folk remedy from somewhere, saying that taking yin to replenish yang can cure his hidden disease, so he deliberately targeted those young, pure and innocent women. This matter concerns his dignity as a man, and he must not let outsiders know, so he will kill them to silence them after the incident."

Everyone present was shocked.

They never expected that the governor's only son would be inhumane.

If this is really the case, then the line of governors will be extinct!

Qi Song was so angry that his whole body was shaking: "Where did you hear these rumors?!"

Yan Ciwan ignored his questioning. She turned to face Si Buping and said, "Qi Ming suffers from a hidden illness and must have to take medicine on a daily basis. We just need to search his residence to see if he has any evidence of treatment for his hidden illness, and then we will know whether what I said is true or not."

Si Buping waved his hand, signaling the guards to check Qi Ming's residence.

Qi Songsheng was unable to stop it. He just felt dizzy and his body swayed and fell to the side.

Xiao Wang was quick to support him in time.

Si Buping ordered someone to bring a chair and helped Qi Songsheng sit down.

Chao Yuanzhi was worried: "The envoy looks very bad. If anything goes wrong, it will be bad. Why don't we ask a doctor to check him out?"

"Xiao knows a little about the art of Qi Huang, I can show it to him."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he held Qi Songsheng's wrist.

After taking Qi Songsheng's pulse, Xiao Wang said that Qi Songsheng was dizzy because of the rage that caused his qi and blood to surge up, and his body couldn't bear it. It wasn't a big problem and he just needed to sit down and rest for a while.

As a result, Qi Songsheng's plan to temporarily leave Caiquetai on the pretext of illness was ruined.

Xiao Wang asked someone to bring a cup of ginseng tea and put it next to Qi Songsheng.

"Your Excellency, drink some ginseng tea, and you will feel better."

Qi Songsheng pulled the corner of his mouth and said thank you reluctantly.

The guests waited with the Grand Leader in the Colorful Bird Terrace. Even though they were extremely curious, they had to keep an calm face and were as quiet as chickens.

After a cup of tea, two inner guards walked into the Caique Terrace, each holding a mahogany tray. The guests stretched their necks to look at the trays and found that one of the trays contained two books and some bottles and jars, and the other one contained a locked wooden box.

The two men knelt on one knee and held the tray high in their hands.

"Reporting to the Grand Master, these are all found in Qianshan Tower. Please have a look."

Si Buping stood up and walked slowly down the stairs.

He first picked up the two books and flipped through them, then picked up the bottles and jars and looked at them. He found that they contained some pills, but he did not understand pharmacology and did not understand what these pills were used for, so he asked Xiao Wang.

"Does Xiao Liulang know what these pills are used for?"

Xiao Wang walked over, picked up the pills and examined them carefully. After a moment, he said, "They are all aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying medicines."

Yan Ciwan added at the right time.

"We have examined the bodies of the victims and found that although they had signs of torture, they were still virgins when they died."

Xiao Wang cooperated and said, "Because the murderer is inhumane, he can't really violate them, and can only get pleasure by torturing them. But in fact, this kind of folk remedy can't cure the disease at all. What the book says is all fabricated."

A smart person could tell at a glance that this recipe was unreliable, but Qi Ming believed it.

Maybe he wasn't sure whether this recipe really worked, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to give it a try.

Even if it comes at the cost of nine lives.

Because to him, the lives of ordinary people are of no importance; his health and dignity are above all else.

Thinking of this, Yan Ciwan felt heavy in her heart. She felt sorry for the nine innocent women who were killed, and was angry at Qi Ming's selfishness and shamelessness.

Si Buping raised his hand and threw the two books in front of Qi Songsheng and asked in a cold voice.

"Qi Ming has been suffering from a hidden illness for a long time. As his father, are you really unaware of this?"

Qi Songsheng looked at the book thrown at his feet.

By chance, the night wind blew in, blowing the pages of the book, and the disgusting pictures in the book appeared before everyone.

Everyone present was educated and they all knew the principle of not looking at something inappropriate, so they all turned their eyes away and dared not look any further.

Qi Songsheng ignored the erotic picture book and his eyes fell on another medical book titled "Miscellaneous Talks on Strange Diseases".

He bent down with difficulty and reached out to pick up the medical book.

Because there was a bookmark in the book, he easily turned to the page that recorded the treatment of impotence.

The contents of the book came into his sight, causing his fingers to tremble and his face to turn pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After reading the last word, he could no longer hold on, and he closed his eyes, leaned to one side, and fainted.

Xiao Wang put his hand on his wrist to make sure that he was really fainted this time.

After all, Qi Songsheng was a governor, and Si Buping could not really ignore his life or death. He immediately ordered someone to send Qi Songsheng back to Haoyue Zhai.

The entire governor's mansion was temporarily taken over by the Internal Guard Bureau. All the maids and servants who originally served Qi Ming were taken under centralized custody and interrogated one by one.
