The big man in black cloak circled Qining, which surprised Qining.
It can be seen from the reaction of the big man in black cloak that he seemed to recognize Qi Ning. However, except for Gu Qinghan, Qi Feng and others did not recognize Qi Ning's outfit. How could this big man in black cloak have such sharp eyesight?
Qi Feng was beaten away by the big man in black cloak in front of everyone, and his face was completely lost. He was still a little embarrassed and a little angry in his heart, but he heard that Han Shou had asked the servant who was chased by the big man in black cloak just now: "What happened? Why is he chasing you?"
The servant looked confused and said: "General Manager, I was pruning the branches and leaves here, and I didn't provoke him. Suddenly he appeared, raised his fist and wanted to hit me. I had no choice but to Avoid."
The chief manager was also a little surprised. He turned around, walked to Qi Ning, looked at him for a few times, and asked: "Are you...?"
Qi Ning sighed and said, "Can't the chief manager recognize me?" He raised his hand and called over: "Li Tang, come here."
Zhong Ya not only changed his appearance, but also took drugs to change his voice. Even his speaking voice was different from before. Han Shou looked confused.
Li Tang didn't notice Qi Ning at first. It wasn't until the big man in black cloak ran to Qi Ning that Li Tang looked over. When he saw Qi Ning, he was slightly surprised. At this time, he heard Qi Ning waving to him. He vaguely guessed something, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurried over.
That night Zhong Ya disguised himself for Qi Ning. Although Li Tang knew about this, Li Tang could not see Qi Ning's appearance after the disguise.
Qi Ning is cautious in doing things, let alone such a big event as the Qingmu Conference. It's not that he doesn't trust Li Tang, but it's just that the less people know about his appearance after the disguise, the better, so even if he leaves after the disguise, he doesn't want to leave. Don't tell Li Tang.
Although his voice had changed, the tone in which he called Li Tang was very similar to Qi Ning. Since Li Tang knew that Qi Ning had a change of appearance, he guessed how Qi Ning was and ran forward. He was not sure for a moment and looked at her. Qi Ning, Qi Ning saw him rolling his eyes and said angrily: "What are you looking at? You still can't recognize who I am? Master Zhong's ability seems to be really good."
When Li Tang heard this, he immediately understood and said happily: "Master Hou, you... you are back!"
Li Tang suddenly called the stranger in front of him "Little Marquis". Everyone was stunned. Qi Feng also came over and said suspiciously: "Li Tang, you said... you said he is the Little Marquis?"
"Bold." Qi Ning scolded: "You are so brave in front of me."
Li Tang hurriedly explained to Qi Feng: "This is the Marquis. The Marquis disguised himself, so... that's why it looks like this."
Qi Feng was relieved and said with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, you have come back. I miss you every day."
Everyone else was surprised, but since Li Tang said he was the young marquis, he couldn't be wrong. Qining rubbed his face and said, "This appearance can't be restored for the time being. I need to wash my face with medicine." He looked at the big man in the black cloak. , saw the big man in black cloak glaring at Qi Feng, as if he was about to rush forward at any moment.
Qi Feng knew that the big man in the black cloak could not be judged by his appearance, and he was really worried that this guy would suddenly pounce on him and moved to the side. Qi Ning then said softly to the big man in the black cloak: "Why do you want to hurt people in the house? "
The big man in the black cloak blinked, suddenly turned around, and ran to a maid. He moved very quickly. Before the maid could recover, the big man in the black cloak slapped the maid on the butt with one of his big hands. In the past, there was a "pop" sound, and the palm was slapped on the buttocks. The maid screamed and jumped away like a frightened rabbit.
Others frowned. Some people thought that this weirdo was really lawless and that he and Qi Feng were both punished. But now that he slapped the maid's ass and acted like a hooligan in front of the young marquis, it was really too much.
The big man in black cloak slapped the maid's butt, then ran back to Qining and raised his hand to point at the servant he had just chased.
Although this weird guy didn't say a word, Qin Ning had already figured it out and frowned: "Ugly guy, you mean he slapped someone else's butt?"
"Su...Sulan...Su...Sulan...!" The big man in black cloak said vaguely. He might not be able to speak a few words in a month. If this happens for a long time, his language function will obviously have a very serious obstacle. Sometimes he can't speak It is also not very clear and can only produce short sentences.
Qi Ning had already understood and waved his hand: "Everyone else, please step aside." He pointed at the servant and said: "You stay."
The Marquis ordered, but everyone did not dare to disobey and retreated one after another. Soon there were only a few people left in the yard. Qining then looked at the servant and asked: "Did you touch Su Lan?"
The servant's face changed slightly and suddenly turned pale. Han Shou urged from the side: "Shen San, if you don't answer honestly when you ask the Marquis, if you tell a lie, you will be beaten to death with a stick."
There are two types of domestic slaves of high-ranking officials. One is a helper who receives a monthly salary, but life and death are not under the control of the master. Guards like Qi Feng are domestic slaves who receive a monthly salary, while the other type He is completely sold to the nobles, and his life and death are in the hands of the master. Even if he is lynched by the master, he will not cause any lawsuit.
This Shen San belongs to the latter category. When high-ranking officials and nobles execute their slaves, they usually kill them with sticks and sticks. Han Shou is the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, so he naturally speaks with great force in the Hou Mansion. Then Shen Sanyi listens to Han Shou. Shou Zhiyan, who had lost his soul, knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to Lord Marquis, Xiao... Xiao... met Sulan before, and was fascinated for a moment. When she... passed by her, he casually... casually touched her buttocks. I slapped it...!" He kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I'm obsessed with my little devil, I beg you to have mercy on me, please forgive me...!"
Qi Ning felt relieved and thought that just as he had guessed, the big man in black cloak was chasing Shen San because of Su Lan.
This kind of thing was really nothing in Qi Ning's era, but in this era, the difference between men and women is still a very serious matter. Qi Ning knew that he would be severely punished and said to Han Shou: "Manager Han , the family has family rules, how to deal with it, you will act according to the family laws later." He then whispered: "You all listen up, this matter ends here, no one is allowed to mention it again, let alone Let other people in the house know."
Everyone knew that Qining was doing this to protect Sulan's reputation. After all, if this matter spread in the house, Sulan would be teased privately in the future, so they all obeyed now.
Qi Ning motioned to Han Shou to take Shen San down first to receive his punishment. Then he looked at the big man in the black cloak and said with a smile: "Ugly man, don't you like others touching Su Lan?"
Qi Ning vaguely remembered that Su Lan was a maid in the Hou Mansion, with beautiful appearance and gentle temperament. This big man in black cloak seemed to obey Su Lan. In front of others, this big man in black cloak was quite vicious, but in front of Su Lan , but very docile.
The big man in black cloak said: "Su Lan... Su Lan...!" He couldn't say anything else.
Qi Ning gently patted the shoulder of the big man in black cloak and said softly: "Don't worry, no one will dare to bully Su Lan in the future. If anyone bullies Su Lan, I will help you beat him up."
The big man in the black cloak grinned and stretched out his hand to touch Qi Ning's face. Qi Feng and Li Tang both frowned, thinking how could you, an ugly man's dirty hands, touch the little Marquis' face? Qi Ning originally wanted to avoid it, but when he saw the rare softness in the eyes of the big man in black cloak, and because your own face would have to be washed off later, he simply let him touch it.
The big man in black cloak gently touched Qining's face twice, turned around and ran away without saying anything, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After he disappeared, Qi Feng came closer and said with some embarrassment: "Master Hou, this... this ugly man is quite capable. He seems to know martial arts."
Qi Ning also nodded, and Li Tang said from the side: "Whether he knows martial arts is not the most important. Mr. Marquis, this big man in black cloak talks erratically and behaves like a child. But the moves Qi Feng used just now, he The ability to imitate something in an instant and type it out almost at the same time is surprising."
"Have you noticed that there is internal power in his body?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment and asked Qi Feng.
Qi Feng shook his head and said: "That's what's weird. It stands to reason that he has such an understanding of martial arts, and his boxing and kicking skills are quite good at first glance, but he doesn't know internal strength. As long as he practices martial arts, he will have more or less internal strength. But when this ugly man made his attack just now, he used brute force and couldn't feel any internal strength at all."
Li Tang whispered: "Master Hou, this person's background is really weird. I always feel...!" He hesitated and did not continue.
Qining said softly: "Whatever comes to your mind, just say it."
"Master Hou, the big cloak on the ugly man is worth a lot of money, and it fits him just right." Li Tang said: "So I don't think he stole or even picked up that big cloak from somewhere. It's probably that The cloak belongs to him. His words are confusing and his brain is not very bright. It is probably not born this way."
"Oh?" Qining smiled slightly: "How do you say this?"
"Master Marquis, the right side of the ugly man's face is covered with fleshy bumps. I looked carefully and found that the fleshy bumps were not born, let alone burned by fire." Li Tang said thoughtfully: "I have thought about it over and over again, and I ended up looking like this. , there are two possibilities.”
"Two possibilities?"
"First, it's probably caused by poison." Li Tang said: "There are all kinds of pharmaceuticals in the world, and what we know is just the tip of the iceberg. It's possible that the ugly man's right face was stained with extremely powerful poison, and he turned into a poisonous person." This is what it looks like.”
Qi Feng nodded and said, "If this is possible, what is the second possibility?"
"Obsession." Li Tang said very simply: "If you practice martial arts in the wrong way and become obsessed, in severe cases, your soul will fly away. At the very least, you will have problems with your meridians, your energy will be lost, your skin and flesh will be deformed, and your consciousness will disappear." Look. He looked at Qi Feng and said, "Qi Feng, Brother Duan told us before about the situation after being possessed. It's not like you don't know."
Qi Feng nodded and said: "Brother Duan did say that those who are seriously obsessed will lose all their inner strength, lose all consciousness, and even go crazy." He frowned and said, "Li Tang, what you said is really true. So what's going on, Mr. Marquis, this ugly man has a unclear mind, has pimples on his face, and can't feel the internal force in his body, but he is extremely fast, and his skills just now prove that he has indeed practiced martial arts, and maybe he really went wrong. It was only because of his obsession that he ended up in this situation."
