The women on the side of the street and the guys in the shop kept talking, "Have you heard? ”

"I just heard that it was fine last night, but I died without knowing what happened, how strange is this city lord's wife?" another person also echoed the discussion.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to arrest you and get into trouble, and when the time comes, don't blame no one for reminding you. ”

"I'm not afraid, everyone is talking about it, you don't know, our city lord, I have lived aggrieved all these years, which other city lord is not three wives and four concubines, just our city lord, just such a lady, do you say that the city lord can not be angry with this lady? I heard that the city lord originally brought back several beautiful women, and they all let this lady be killed. ”

"Yes, I also know this, I know that this lady is powerful, and she can't tolerate others, and this is also when the lady is at home, she is pampered, how can she suffer this grievance. ”

"The city lord is still good, it's just that, I'm too afraid of Madame, hey. ”

"Aren't you afraid? Madame's maiden home is General Li's mansion, although Madame is not a concubine, the identity of the eldest lady still exists. ”

"That's it, that is, if there is no support from General Li's family behind him, Ma Teng will not be able to be the city lord, in short, this is all given by this lady, there is no way, who makes the family have the right, and the city lord has no way to be inferior in front of his wife all day long. ”

"Have you heard? The lord of the city only picked up a woman yesterday, and the lady died today, will this matter have anything to do with the woman who just picked it up?"

"This can't be said nonsense, how can we little people know so much? Look, after Madame's mother's family comes, I can guess that the real cause of Madame's death can be found out in this matter. ”

"Yes, yes, don't say it, let's get busy first, let others hear us talking about this is not good, don't say it. ”

In the small square city for a while, rumors flew up, saying everything, spreading more and more, and finally someone said that on the night of the death of the city lord's wife, he saw black and white impermanence, and said that there was a nose and an eye.

In the past few days, Mo Xuelian has nothing to do, the city lord is busy arranging the funeral of his wife, she is very busy, and she has no time to care about her, she is also happy now, and she has good food and drink every day.

Three days later, a team of 100 cavalry appeared in front of the city lord's mansion, and Ma Teng immediately went out to greet him, and when he saw the person, Ma Teng immediately cried: "Big brother, you are finally here, Guilian is gone, she is gone, she is gone alone, leave me alone, big brother." ”

A middle-aged man wearing a silver helmet and silver armor who looked to be about fifty years old jumped off the horse, he didn't even look at Ma Teng, and walked straight towards the inner house, and the hundred cavalry behind him immediately surrounded the city lord's mansion, and the posture looked very scary.

The middle-aged man's name is Gui Tao, he is the elder brother of the city lord's wife, Gui Tao came to his sister's bedroom, saw his sister's cold corpse, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, cried for a while, looked at Ma Teng, he roared angrily: "How did my sister die?"

Ma Teng saw Gui Tao questioning himself, and was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "Big brother, I don't know much about this, I worked in front of me at night and didn't come back all night, how do I know that when I woke up in the morning, I heard the news that Gui Lian was gone, and I was also sad to death." Saying that, Ma Teng couldn't cry anymore, crying like a tearful man.

Gui Tao looked at his sister's bedside, everything in the room was clean, obviously it had been cleaned up, Gui Tao waved his hand behind him: "Lao He, you come and check this room to see if there are any problems." ”

After Gui Tao finished speaking, Li Ai walked out of behind him, carrying a large medicine box on his shoulder, walked up to the city lord's wife, looked at this, touched that, looked at his fingers, sniffed at the bedside, pried open the mouth of the city lord's wife and looked at it, and finally shook his head at Gui Tao.

When Gui Tao saw the old man like this, he was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked suspiciously: "Is there really no problem?"

At this time, the city lord Ma Teng cried even more, the old man nodded, and replied calmly: "On the surface, there is no problem, but I don't know." Speaking of this, the old man wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something to say.

Gui Tao saw the old man's appearance and understood, and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart: "My sister's death must be found out, what happened?

After hearing this, the old man nodded subconsciously, bowed and replied, "Understand, everyone go out, I'm going to check it carefully." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao waved his hand and ordered all the people in the room: "All go out, no one is allowed to stay." After everyone left, Gui Tao walked outside the house and asked the soldiers he brought to guard the doors and windows to prevent anyone from approaching.

When Ma Teng was leaving the house, he saw the old man, opened the medicine box, he saw that there were all kinds of metal utensils in the medicine box, small knives, small scissors, a mess of piles, Ma Teng immediately understood, what the old man was going to do, Ma Teng's head instantly broke out of sweat, and he kept muttering in his heart, praying that nothing would happen.

At this time, a soldier standing beside Gui Tao walked into Gui Tao's ear and bowed his head and whispered: "Major General, Ma Teng has a problem, I see that his expression is very unnatural, and his crying is not real." ”

After hearing this, Gui Tao nodded and walked into a house: "Come on, go and call Xiao Minzi." When the people outside heard this, they said yes and immediately ran away.

Gui Tao didn't wait long in the room, and Xiao Minzi, the girl next to the city lord's wife, walked in, and as soon as she saw Gui Tao, she immediately knelt down and cried loudly: "Young General, you are finally here." As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Gui Tao looked at Xiao Minzi, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Minzi, you are from my general's mansion, and you were married here with my sister, I asked you to take care of my sister, how did you take care of it, you are guilty." ”

Xiao Minzi was so frightened that she kowtowed like garlic after hearing this: "The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty, I didn't take care of my young lady." Saying that, the crying pear blossom brought rain, and it was even more sad.

Gui Tao listened with a gloomy face and continued to speak: "My sister also wrote a few days ago, saying that everything is fine, it can't be just gone, you are my sister's personal maid, and you are from my general's mansion, you have to tell the truth, how did my sister die? What did you say happened on the night my sister died?"
