Leaf fruit, bitter taste, dried and ground into powder, white, take a certain amount, will make people weak, and cause diarrhea and vomiting, silver can not be detected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Said's eyes were grim.
In order to find out the cause of his physical weakness, he has read countless medical books, and he has paid more attention to those things that can make people weak unconsciously.
The astringency in milk is familiar because he has experienced it firsthand.
And mixed in milk, you can taste this astringency, which shows that there is a lot of it.
With such a amount, with his physique, if he really drank this cup...... Is this going to make him seriously ill?
Moreover, diarrhea and vomiting, which are similar to the epidemic caused by the flood, are slightly guided, and the two are superimposed......
"Who is it?"
Methodically opening a drawer with a tin can, and after pouring half a cup of milk into it, Syd closed the drawer, then put the milk down, picked up the bread again, and returned his gaze to the book, as if he were reading, and his thoughts spun rapidly.
Judging by the expression on Mary's handmaiden, she should have known that something was wrong with this glass of milk, so why?
Mary's maid had been working in the Baron's Court for several years, and she knew that she was from an ordinary household in the city, so was she bought with a lot of money, or was she forced and threatened?
"Any event must have a purpose. Find out the key to this purpose, and then follow the vine to see behind the scenes. ”
In one of the books that Syd once read, there was a quote from one of the philosophers he admired the most, from Brent Albert, the great sage of Ernest and the city-states.
"Whether Mary was bought or persecuted, it doesn't matter. ”
"The point is that the symptoms caused by the flute leaf fruit powder are similar to those of the epidemic, and the target is me. ”
"This is to be unknown and make people think that they have a disease. ”
A cold light flickered in Said's eyes.
Although he was rumored to be a "rice worm" by aristocratic circles, because he rarely went out, he did not have any enmity with others, so the cause of this incident should be ......
"Knighthood?"
"Could it be you?"
A figure crossed Seid's mind.
The baron had a son and two daughters.
Said is the youngest and the first heir to the title.
The eldest sister's name is Edith, and she married Evan Warren, the second son of Viscount Warren, a few years ago, and lives in the castle next door, and has a two-year-old daughter, Alicia.
The second sister, Eleanor, studied in McCarthy City in the Ernest United City-State, which was the seat of Seid's grandfather, the old Bercy family, and many of the books Seid usually read were brought by Eleanorto.
If it's really because of the title, then the first possibility is probably the eldest sister Edith...... The man in the back, Evan Warren!
Viscount Warren had three sons, the eldest son Andrew, the second son Evan, and the third son Ian.
Among them, Andrew, who is several years older and has the full support of Matthew, the leader of the Ted Knights of the Warren family, is undoubtedly the first heir.
Although Evan married Edith and had the support of Baron Garth, he could not shake Andrew's position for the time being.
So, if he took a step back, gave up the viscount title, and looked this way instead......
If Syd is not there, Edith must be the first heir to the barony, Edith is gentle by nature, or a little weak, whether or not the title is transferred to her husband, the barony will inevitably be in the hands of Evan in the future......
Thinking of this, Said's heart suddenly jumped again.
Still not right!
Even if he is gone, even if Edith becomes the first heir, however, Evan should be far from taking charge of the barony, his father Baron Garth is in the prime of life, the strong physique of the Mithril knight, and it is not a problem for his father to be in charge of the military for more than ten or twenty years, even if Evan is eyeing the barony, he doesn't need to attack him so early, right?
Is there something missing?
Or did he really offend someone by accident?
Syd's brow furrowed slightly.
"Young Master, your lamb chops are ready. ”
At this moment, the voice of Mary's maid sounded outside.
Seid answered, and Mary pushed the door open and delivered the lamb chops to Seid.
Naturally, she didn't forget the glass of milk, and seeing that Young Master Said should have drunk most of the cup of bread, Mary's maid finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Syd waved her hand and told her to step back.
Said is eighteen years old, if the combat strength of a normal eighteen-year-old man is ten, then the value of five can be called five scum, and Said...... He estimated that his combat strength was only two.
War 5 is scum, and War 2 can only be a worm.
Yes, even if he knew that the milk was wrong, he was not in a hurry to alarm the Mary maid, if the Mary maid dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, he really couldn't beat this "strong" output. In addition, Seid was not prepared to directly alarm the people behind this incident in a hurry.
After Brand and the others left, the strongest combat force in the Baron's Palace, and the most trusted person in Seid, was Garni, and before Garni came back, everything was business as usual.
Half an hour later, just as Said was wondering if he was going to have "diarrhea and vomit", Jani arrived home.
He didn't talk to Jia Ni, but just asked her to block the backyard where the study was located, so that no one was allowed to come in at will, and at the same time, he didn't reveal his situation to anyone.
It was fast into the evening.
There was a token of the Baron's Palace, and the nine Rowan people were not stopped by the garrison and came to the Baron's Mansion smoothly.
After some debriefing and recording, Syd told them something else, and then sent them away, along with the bread that had been prepared long ago.
In this time of the Great Flood, bread was more practical than silver coins.
The night was getting darker, and darkness was enveloping everything.
In this boundless darkness, the lights of the Baron's Palace were also extraordinarily dim.
In the bedroom, after waiting for Said to enter the bed, Jiani finally couldn't resist the hesitation in his heart: "Young master, is something happening? Do you need to arrange a guard at night?"
Whether it is the abnormal blockade of the backyard, or the fact that she is not allowed to disclose the situation here to outsiders, as well as the young master's special advice to Luo Wen and others, it shows that something must have happened today, and it should have happened when she left the baron's mansion, although the young master did not tell her directly, but he also did not shy away from her, judging from the ten years of experience that Jiani has served the young master, she should be qualified to understand this matter.
And she also needs to understand this matter, and then she can judge whether she needs to make any arrangements in advance to ensure the safety of Young Master Said.
"You sleep in the outer room tonight. There is no need for other warnings. Said nodded slightly, and then lay down.
No matter who that person is, since he chose to use the powder of the leaf fruit, it obviously means that the person has taboos, otherwise it will be much easier to directly use the poison.
I don't want to use poison, and naturally I won't use assassins or anything.
However, just in case, Said still arranged for Jiani to rest directly outside.
"As for today's matter, I'll tell you more about it when the news of Rowan and them comes tomorrow. I told you earlier, maybe I will startle the snake. ”
Jiani knew Seid, and Seid naturally knew what kind of character his personal maid was, if he knew early in the morning that someone dared to drug him, it would be impossible for Jiani to remain calm, and in a fit of rage, he would slash Mary with a sword, which is very likely.
"Hmm. Jiani answered, hesitated again, and then in the darkness, her pretty face suddenly floated a glow, and Ai Ai said, "Young master, or, um, or I'll sleep here, right?" ”
Already closing his eyes and preparing to fall asleep, Said's eyes opened, staring at the girl's blurred face.
There was silence, and the sound of breathing was clearly audible.
After a few breaths, Syd shook his head and smiled, "Okay, come up." ”
Jiani has been by his side since he was a child, whether it is the baroness or himself, he has long regarded her as his own, that is, Seid's body is weak and he is far less than his age, otherwise he would have taken Jiani into the house a long time ago.
With that, Said moved inside.
At this time, Jiani suddenly lost his usual ability, wanted to sit down, and was timid.
"...... Jani"
Seeing this, Seid was not in a hurry to sleep, he sat up with his hands propped up, and was about to say something to Jiani, when suddenly, his expression stiffened, and on his forehead, he saw beads of sweat the size of beans condensed and rolled down.
Almost at the same time, the heavens and the earth shook, and the bed, the table, the chairs, everything in the bedroom shook.
No, it's not the things in the bedroom that are shaking, it's the whole house, the whole Baron's Palace, the whole Lukang City, and even the whole earth shaking.
