Xiao Minzi knelt on the ground and cried while saying: "Young General, when I slept with my young lady that night, it was very late, I slept in the outhouse, and the young lady was in the inner room, it was almost dawn at that time, I seemed to hear it in my sleep, there was a little movement in the inner room, I didn't take it seriously, in the past, the kitten raised by the young lady would also make a movement, and later I heard a muffled snort in the house." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao hurriedly continued to ask: "Then what? ”

Xiao Minzi listened and then said: "Then I quickly got up, wanted to go into the house to see what the sound was, I pushed the door of the young lady, and found that the door was plugged in backwards, so I called my young lady, but I called a few times, and the young lady did not answer, I knew that something must have happened." ”

So I hurriedly went out and called someone, and smashed the door open, and when I entered the house, I saw my young lady lying there, motionless, and I touched her nose and found that there was no breath, and I knew that young lady, young lady, she was dead. At this point, Xiao Minzi continued to cry again.

After hearing this, Gui Tao slammed the table: "Does my sister usually cut in the door when she sleeps?

"The young lady never intervenes when she sleeps, first, it is convenient for me to take care of it, and second, the city lord sometimes comes at night. Xiao Minzi was so frightened by the momentum of the young general that he shrank back.

Gui Tao reluctantly suppressed his anger for a while, and continued to ask, "How is the relationship between my sister and the city lord usually?"

After hearing this, Xiao Minzi thought about it for a while, and lived for a while: "It still looks very good, and there will be occasional quarrels, but it is the city lord who let the young lady, by the way, the day before the young lady died, the city lord brought back a woman outside, and the woman looked like a fox, and it was not a good thing at first glance." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao nodded: "Okay, I know, you go down to rest first, when I go back to the General's Mansion, I will take you back, as long as what you say is the truth, you can rest assured." ”

"Thank you, Major General, thank you, Major General. Xiao Minzi kowtowed several times, and then got up and retreated.

The city lord Ma Teng saw that Xiao Minzi was gone, so he walked in again, and after coming in, he looked at Gui Tao and asked with a crying face: "Big brother, how did Gui Lian die? Gui Lian's death is unknown, big brother, you must find out the truth?"

Gui Tao sat on the chair and looked at Ma Teng, squinted his eyes again and asked, "Brother-in-law, I heard that before my sister died, you brought back a woman, didn't you?"

"Yes, it was an important criminal of the imperial court, I was afraid that it would not be safe to be in prison, so I brought it into the city lord's mansion and guarded it strictly, I don't know why the eldest brother asked this?" Ma Teng looked at Gui Tao calmly.

After hearing this, Gui Tao said unhurriedly with a calm face: "It's nothing, just ask casually, I heard people say that you are too strict with my sister to treat you, and you are already dissatisfied with it, aren't you?"

Ma Teng looked at Gui Tao's face was very ugly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "Big brother, who are you listening to, there is no such thing, I have always been in love with Gui Lian, and I am in harmony, and everyone in the City Lord's Mansion knows this." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, an adjutant at the door walked in and bowed to Gui Tao: "Young General, Lao He is here." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao immediately responded: "Let Lao He come in, I have something to ask him." As soon as the adjutant gave another salute, he walked out, and then Lao He walked in, he turned his head to look at Ma Teng, and also bowed to Gui Tao: "Young General." ”

Gui Tao understood what Lao He meant, didn't care, and waved his hand: "Lao He, there are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want." ”

Lao He nodded, and then spoke reassuringly: "Young General, I carefully examined Ling Mei's body, and found no problems, and there were no traces of poisoning, Young General, Ling Mei may really have some illness and died of natural causes." ”

After listening to this, Gui Tao looked at Ma Teng, at this time Ma Teng's body relaxed slightly, and his nervous face just now became much more natural, and he asked again: "Brother-in-law, my sister has lived with you for so long, is there any illness in normal times?"

Ma Teng thought for a while and thought about it carefully: "Big brother, you asked, I remembered something, there were a few times when Gui Lian said that she was always flustered and short of breath, and then she came to see the doctor, but she didn't find anything wrong, and she got better later, so she didn't take it seriously." ”

Gui Tao looked at Lao He, thought about it again, and said: "Lao He, you have heard what my brother-in-law said, you can deduce, what is my sister's disease? What kind of disease is it? Can it be to death?"

Lao He thought for a moment and nodded: "According to what the city lord said, the symptoms of the young general's sister's illness are a bit like a real acute illness, this disease usually looks no different from ordinary people, but the onset is fast and the mortality rate is high, which is in line with the cause of Ling Mei's death." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao nodded, and his hand naturally went down: "Oh, Lao He, you are working hard to give me a closer look at my sister, is there anything missing? If you can't find out, it may really be that you are sick, and I can go back and give my father an explanation." ”

Lao He agreed, and then retreated, Ma Teng saw that there was no one, he stepped forward and poured a glass of water for Gui Tao: "Big brother, you have worked hard all the way, and you have been busy as soon as you came, and you haven't eaten, I will immediately order someone to cook." ”

Gui Tao waved his hand after hearing this, and he didn't have much heart to eat: "No need, I'm not in the mood to eat now, brother-in-law, you go down first, I'll rest in the room for a while." ”

Ma Teng nodded yes, turned his head and left here again, after Gui Tao saw Ma Teng leave, he called again, and then the adjutant just now walked in again, Gui Tao looked at him and frowned: "You go and call Lao He to me again, I still have to ask." ”

The adjutant nodded, and left here again, and after a while, Lao He walked in again with blood on his hands: "Young General, what do you call me?"

"Lao He, you have to check me well, from head to toe, don't let go of any clues, understand?" Gui Tao looked at him with a gloomy face and commanded sharply.

Lao He agreed and turned his head and went out again, Gui Tao leaned back in the chair, maybe he was too tired, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he fell asleep, he heard the sound of the door opening, and suddenly broke into a person, so frightened that Gui Tao hurriedly opened his eyes.

He saw his adjutant walk in with Lao He, and looked a little anxious: "Young General, I called the door, you fell asleep, I didn't hear it, I just broke in, I didn't expect to scare you, Young General, Lao He has made a new discovery." ”
