Chapter 77: Revenge
Guo Xiaotian was dizzy, and his entourage hurriedly stepped forward to beat his chest and stroke his back, and fed him water, tossing for a while, Guo Xiaotian eased a little, and said apologetically: "Xu has eaten too much wine, and the old man is not feeling well today, so he retired first." ”
Sima Chao said that it was okay, because there were still guests at the banquet, and he ordered the housekeeper to send Guo Xiaotian out.
Guo Xiaotian was helped out of the banquet hall by his relatives, and when he stayed outside, the summer heat rushed to his face, and he was dizzy again, and he was supported by his relatives and walked a few steps, and his legs fell down weakly.
The relatives were shocked, and called repeatedly, and the housekeeper hurriedly returned to the banquet hall to return to the host.
Guo Xiaotian only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, he thought that because he had eaten too much wine in the summer, he was going to get up strongly, but as soon as he exerted himself, his throat tightened, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
The entourage hurriedly stroked his back and called for a doctor, but Guo Xiaotian's consciousness began to slowly dissipate, and when he closed his eyes, he saw a person standing on the high platform in the water, staring at him.
It was a woman, dressed in plain clothes, and in this vast night, she stood in the water, as beautiful as a goddess, but her eyes were full of hatred.
He didn't know why this woman resented him, but when the end was approaching, he blessed his soul and knew that his death was the work of this woman.
At the moment when he closed his eyes, the shadow of Taifu Luo, who was framed and killed by him, suddenly appeared in his mind, Taifu looked upright, pointed at him and scolded, "Guo thief, you have brutalized the prince, framed Zhongliang, and the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty are destroyed in your hands, and you will definitely be spurned by the world in the future." ”
These are the words that Mrs. Luo, who has suffered from torture and has not yielded, said to him in prison.
Before he died, he suddenly remembered this.
When Sima Chao and the others arrived when they heard the news, Guo Xiaotian had already rolled his eyes, and his body was cold.
At this time, the doctor also rushed over, and after applying the needle, he concluded that he had been poisoned by Hedinghong.
The crane top red is extremely poisonous, and it will die if it is stained.
For several days, Love never saw Sima Chao again.
Guo Xiaotian was poisoned and died in Sima Mansion, he naturally couldn't get out of it, and when he heard the news, the saint was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Sima Chao to solve the case within seven days and find out the real culprit.
Sima Mansion has been gloomy for several days, and the Wang family and the Xie family, who originally always loved to fight in the nest, this time it was a surprising united front, blocking the Lady Tai in Luo'an Hall to ask for advice.
"Mother, that Guo Xiaotian is Guo Guifei's own brother, he died in our house like this, the master is not here, do you think the saint will copy our house in a fit of anger."
Don't look at what the Wang family is talking about on weekdays, when a big event comes, she is the first one who can't sit still.
Mrs. Tai glanced at her and replied: "Even if you ask for the crime, you must also pay attention to the truth and evidence, although Guo Xiaotian was killed in our family, this does not mean that we want to harm him, if we have the intention of harming him, we will not invite him to come to the house, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?" The saint is not brainless, don't worry, it will be fine. ”
After listening to Mrs. Tai's well-founded words, Wang's heart was a little calmer, but he was especially uneasy and said: "It's just that the Holy Lord ordered Chao'er to judge the case within seven days, if Chao'er can't find the real culprit, I'm afraid that Guo Guifei won't give up." ”
"The saint listens to Guo Guifei's words the most, for her, the queen who has been in trouble together can be deposed, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that the saint will not condemn the crime, and Guo Guifei will not let us go."
Xie Shi echoed: "If Concubine Guo Guifei hates us, even if the saint doesn't condemn now, I'm afraid that we will be sad in the future, oops, how can this be good." ”
When something like this happens, the Sima family can't escape the involvement, and Mrs. Tai is naturally upset, but she is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and she won't be as unbreathed as her two daughters-in-law.
She looked at her two daughters-in-law and said in a deep voice: "Our Sima family has gone from a butcher to today's boss to a generalissimo of soldiers and horses. ”
Mrs. Tai's words made the two daughters-in-law shut up, Wang Xie and the others were silent for a while, and finally Wang couldn't hold her breath, but this time, she didn't dare to say any more frustrating words, but wondered: "The doctor said that Guo Xiaotian was poisoned by Hedinghong, and you said that all the food at this banquet was checked at various levels, and before it was sent to Guo Xiaotian's mouth, his relatives also tested the silver needle one by one." ”
"How did he eat this poison?"
Isn't that the mystery of this case? Don't say that the Wang family, even Sima Chao hasn't found out the strangeness of this.
Mrs. Tai twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and sighed slightly.
Xie Shi on the side pretended to be smart and said: "Could it be that those Ji girls have a problem, accompany her side, and quietly poison them, in my opinion, those Ji girls should be arrested and tortured, and the truth will be cracked." ”
Wang smiled disdainfully and said to Xie, "Are you scared and confused?" ”
"Don't you know the rules of the banquet for the maid, before entering the banquet hall, they are all stripped naked, not to mention that they are hiding drugs, but it is difficult to bring in an extra hair strand."
"Besides, our daughters were bought since childhood, and it is impossible for them to dare to have this thought."
Xie Shi retorted angrily: "People's hearts are unpredictable, even if someone in charge was secretly bought, and deliberately let the accomplice hide the poison in Ji Nu, it is unknown. ”
Wang said: "Before entering the banquet hall, these concubines have been inspected several times, according to your guess, unless the seven or eight stewards in charge of serving the banquet are bribed. ”
"W-how is this possible?"
"Besides, those concubines are just dancing under the hall, and they don't have the opportunity to get close to the guests at all, even the concubines who are responsible for accompanying the banquet and serving on Guo Xiaotian's side are also being watched by Guo Xiaotian's personal entourage, where can they hurt people."
"I've heard people say that the entourage who serves on the side of the nobles is specially trained, and they are all fine, and they can still make a concubine get their hands on it?"
Xie Shi was unwilling, and said: "That is, the people around Guo Xiaotian were bought, and they quietly poisoned him while he came to our house for a banquet." ”
"Bring a disaster to the east to confuse everyone."
When Xie said this, Wang thought for a while and echoed: "If you say so, it is very likely. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Tai, who had her eyes closed as if she was in a fixed position, and said, "Mother, I think that nine times out of ten, someone framed this matter, and it must have been done by the enemy of our family, just to frame our Sima family, mother."
Mrs. Tai was so upset by the noise that she opened her eyes, glared at each of her two daughters-in-law, and said impatiently: "You just stop a little, one by one seems to be capable, if you have this ability, just go to the yamen with Chao'er to solve the case." ”
