Chapter 141 The Strange Fire in the Late Night
As soon as Shangguan Fuxue finished speaking, her expression changed. She wanted to use the account book in her hand to fan out the candle, but when she heard the wick "chuck", she cried out inwardly. : "Get out of the way! Phosphor powder is added to this candle!"

Before the candle was extinguished, the silhouette quickly pulled her away, and the candle burst with a sudden "touch".The silhouette fit and swooped, protecting Shangguan Fuxue under his body, a pungent and foul smell soon filled the air.She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, and when she looked back, the sparks splashed just now had already ignited the flammable things in the room.

Shangguan Fuxue clearly felt that the air was not only the smell of phosphorous powder, but also mixed with an inexplicable smell, but her intuition told her that it must not be a good thing!She covered her mouth and nose tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "There is not only phosphorous powder in that candle, but also other poisonous powders, we have to get out as soon as possible!"

Silhouette nodded and pulled her up. Shangguan Fuxue already felt a wet sticky gushing out of her nasal cavity. It seems that this poisonous powder is not simple!Unknowingly Wei Wei admires it, this method of harming people is really ingenious!
Silhouette quickly rushed to the door to open it, but the door didn't open.She frowned and pulled again, but still didn't open it.Obviously, the door was locked from the outside.She remembered that there were guards on duty at the door, so she knocked on the door desperately, "Come on! Come on!"

However, there was no response from outside.

Silhouette's complexion was rarely pale, and she also wiped the nosebleed with one hand. She quickly understood that this was deliberately designed by someone to harm her and Shangguan Fuxue!
She looked at Shangguan Fuxue in surprise and anxiety, but Shangguan Fuxue just motioned her to stop talking, and then looked around calmly.Except for the cup of tea that Silhouette just poured, there is no useful water in this room.And this room has only one exit, not even a window.If you want to go out, you can only find a way on this door.This accounting room is in the side courtyard, because it is a little far away from the main courtyard, and night guards rarely pass by here.Besides, it's clear that someone set up a trick to prevent people from coming to rescue them on purpose!Even calling for help may not be heard.

Both the phosphorous powder and the inexplicable poisonous powder are absorbed through the mucous membranes.Even if you cover your mouth and nose, it still works through your eyes and ears.

They both had nosebleeds and time was running out!

The fire was getting bigger, and the choking smoke and dust rose up quickly, and it was too late to put out the fire.Shangguan Fuxue simply let go of her hand and took out a small bottle from her sleeve.This was prepared earlier - the antidote pill!This kind of detoxification pill can deal with most poisons, even if it encounters severe poisons, it can at least slow down for a while.

She ate one with Silhouette, but it could barely deal with the unknown poison powder, but it was useless against the poison of the phosphorus powder.But the damage of phosphorous powder is no faster than that of the deadly poisonous powder. As long as you stand up, don't inhale too much, and get out of the hospital immediately, you will be fine.

The heat wave was rolling, and the spreading fire was like a hideous ghost, rushing towards Shangguan Fuxue and Silhouette with its fangs and claws.They didn't show excessive panic, the silhouette held his breath, grabbed the stool next to him and smashed the door open.Pulling Shangguan Fuxue, he rushed out.

Shangguan Fuxue gasped for breath, the nosebleed had stopped, but she felt a little dizzy, and felt a burning pain all over her body, she quickly took out the silver needles, quickly pricked a few of her acupoints, and coughed: " This trick is too poisonous!"

The phosphorous powder itself is a poisonous thing, and its ignition point is lower than that of paraffin. It is wrapped in a candle, and when it is lit, it will burn rapidly in the middle to generate heat.When the heat was too great, the candle would fail, and burst, sending sparks flying and igniting the contents of the room.And because of the poisonous powder emitted by the explosion, it will quickly kill people.When the poison occurs, people die in the fire.Even if it is discovered by firefighters, they will think that they accidentally burned to death.

If she hadn't taken precautions and prepared antidote pills, she might not have escaped today.

Silhouette choked, "Miss, we brought this candle by ourselves, why is there a problem?"

Shangguan Fuxue was a little at a loss, but she still believed that this had something to do with Liang Muhua, because no one in this mansion could achieve such thoroughness except Liang Muhua!He even figured out how to manipulate the inside of the candle, it seems that Liang Muhua's methods are getting better and better!

She thought for a while and said, "Although I'm in charge these days, there are many things that still have to go through other people's hands! Maybe..." She squinted her eyes, as if she had noticed something interesting, hooked Cursing the corners of her lips, "Someone is really bad, and has become his dog's leg. Also, this matter must not be without the help of my precious daughter!"

No matter how calm Liang Muhua's temperament is, this kind of pervasive method may not be her forte.This masterpiece looks more like it was made by Liang Nianqing.

She had lingering fears in her heart, but she was unexpectedly calm, and she evoked a treacherous smile, "Check it out, and you'll find out!"

The fire at the accounting room quickly attracted the attention of the night guards. They hurriedly called people to put out the fire, and after a while of panic, they put out the fire.Fortunately, there were not many valuable things in the account room except the account book.The loss is not great.

Several guards sent Shangguan Fuxue and Silhouette back to Xueyuan. They had already suffered from poisoning reactions to varying degrees. Fortunately, Shangguan Fuxue was able to cope with it freely and quickly took some medicine without causing much damage.

The guards stood in front of Shangguan Fuxue with shame on their faces, as if pleading guilty.

Shangguan Fuxue recognized at a glance that two of the night guards were guarding the door, and cursed: "The account room is on fire, what are you two guards doing?!"

The two guards looked at each other, a little confused, it was obviously the third lady who set the account room on fire, so why did they ask them to be held accountable instead?But the master is the master, and the master should not argue when scolding. One of them said: "Miss San, just now the maid of the fifth aunt ran over in a panic and said that the fifth aunt fell into the lotus pond. We didn't even think about it." He ran over. He really saved Fifth Auntie!"

"Fifth Yiniang's maid?!" Shangguan Fuxue raised her eyebrows, why did Fifth Yiniang fall into the lotus pond at this time?The maid who sent the message also belonged to Fifth Auntie.He had nothing to do with the person he thought of!Could it be that what happened today has something to do with Fifth Aunt?A complex feeling surged up in an instant, and she slapped the guard angrily, "Fifth Yiniang is so well behaved, why did she fall into the lotus pond?! You don't want to use words to shirk responsibility!"

Seeing her disbelief, the two guards immediately knelt down on the ground, and one of them tore at the clothes and said, "Miss San, if you don't believe me, the clothes on my body are not completely dry, you can take a look if you don't believe me!"

Shangguan Fuxue just looked at him with a slight frown, and he hurriedly said: "Third Miss, I was not alone when I saved Fifth Yiniang, they can all testify for me! Besides, did Fifth Yiniang fall off the lotus pond, Third Miss Go ask Fifth Auntie and you'll know!"

Shangguan Fuxue asked: "Then tell me, which maid in Fifth Auntie's room is it?"

The man said: "That maid looks unfamiliar, she seems to be new here. However, Miss Taorui was there when we passed by!"

Shangguan Fuxue glanced at him, believed most of it, and said indifferently: "Don't alarm the old lady at this moment about what happened just now."

The guards said yes again and again, and Shangguan Fuxue let them back out.

Shangguan Fuxue thought over and over again, why did she get involved with Fifth Yiniang?

Soon, there was a clear look in her eyes.It seems that this matter is not as simple as I imagined.

On the second day, Shangguan Fuxue did not rest too much, and went to the old lady's courtyard as usual.As soon as I entered, I heard people laughing inside.

"Grandmother, although this wood rhinoceros claw stick has the same function as an ordinary claw stick, it was used by the Prince of Lin'an in the previous dynasty. I heard that after the fall of the previous dynasty, the palace people inside brought out many treasures when they fled. This The wood rhinoceros claw stick has also been lost to the people. Two days ago, my granddaughter happened to see it in Ruiyu Pavilion, and she fell in love with it at a glance, so she hurriedly bought it and gave it to grandma."

The maid in the outer room raised the curtain and welcomed Shangguan Fuxue in, just in time to see Shangguan Miaoyu's maid handing an exquisitely crafted voluntary branch to the old lady. Staring at the wood rhinoceros claw staff.

The servant girl went up and told the old lady that Miss San was here.

The old lady didn't pick up the wood rhinoceros claw stick, but looked at Shangguan Fuxue, smiled, and beckoned to Mother Su to bring the embroidered stool, and let Shangguan Fuxue sit in front of her.

Everyone looked at each other, and letting Shangguan Fuxue sit in front of the old lady obviously flattered her a bit.But after thinking about it, she couldn't find any faults. Shangguan Fuxue was the daughter of his ex-wife, and she was regarded as the first wife's daughter.Since ancient times, the status of an aunt is no more noble than that of a young lady, and she can't call her child by her name directly in front of people.Now that Liang's mother and daughter are away, Shangguan Fuxue will naturally be seated in front of them.

When Shangguan Miaoyu saw Shangguan Fuxue coming in, she was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered, but the hand holding the wood rhinoceros claw stick froze there, and the old lady didn't speak, and she didn't dare to take it back.

Shangguan Fuxue glanced at it and said, "Fifth Sister, this thing is so rare, you must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"

When Shangguan Miaoyu heard the words, there was a hint of complacency in her eyes, "Of course!"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled slightly, "Since it was used by the former prince, it must be very valuable, right?"

Shangguan Miaoyu was taken aback for a moment, and became cautious, "Sister, what exactly do you want to say?"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled again, "Fifth Younger Sister doesn't have many monthly appointments, how did you decide to buy such an expensive thing? Could it be that someone gave you a big gift?"
