Three days have passed since Guo Xiaotian's death.

The night was dark, and in the inner court Zhao Prison, the attendant who served Guo Xiaotian's side that day and the maiden were interrogated carefully, but there was no progress.

Sima Chao walked out of the gloomy dungeon, took the towel handed by his entourage, cleaned his hands, leaned back on the chair and looked out the dark window.

Guo Xiaotian is the core figure of the Guo family's party, and his unexplained death in the Sima Mansion is very unfavorable to the Sima family.

Before Sima Zhengde set out on the expedition, he explained to him that after the northern rebellion was quelled, the Sima family intended to join forces with the Guo family.

Guo Xiaotian had just lost his wife, and Sima Zhengde originally planned to marry Sima Chuqing to Guo Xiaotian to fill the house, with such an in-law as a link, the alliance between the two families was naturally the most reliable.

Of course, his father only told him about this in private, and the others did not know.

In fact, in order to ally with the Guo family, her father could let her pay off the frost pool and directly form an in-law with Guo Guifei, which was more beneficial to the Sima family than marrying Sima Chuqing to Guo Xiaotian, even Guo Guifei also secretly mentioned this matter to her father, but her father never agreed.

Sima Chao understood that his father was thinking about him, and Shuangchi was arrogant and arrogant, not a good match.

His father didn't want him to be wronged.

So he would rather retreat to the next best thing, and would rather sacrifice Sima Chuqing.

Among the many daughters, the father has always favored him, and always has been.

As soon as Guo Xiaotian died like this, his father's interruption was in vain.

Thinking of his father, Sima Chao felt guilty and felt uncomfortable.

He couldn't live up to his father's painstaking love.

Then, in order to form an alliance with the Guo family, I'm afraid he will have to marry Shuangchi this time.

But if that's the case, how will he face Love in the future?

Love is the woman he loves, and she has told him plainly that he can marry whoever he marries, but it can't be Frost Pool.

Sima Chao's heart was so confused, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes heavily, he had never been so tired.

"Major General! Major General, there is a major discovery. ”

Tingwei hurriedly entered, Sima Chao heard the call, quickly opened his eyes, and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Captain Ting stepped forward, hurriedly saluted, and replied: "Da Situ's attendant fainted to death."

Sima Chao said: "He didn't use a heavy punishment, how could he be like this?" ”

Tingwei replied: "Yes, in order to keep his mouth alive, the brothers were extremely cautious in their interrogation, but just now he suddenly fainted, and the brothers called the prison doctor, and it was found that he seemed to have been poisoned. ”

Poisoning?

The dungeon is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to poison it.

"Check it out!" Sima Chao hurriedly got up and strode into the dungeon.

The attendant had been carried to a relatively tidy room, and was unconscious on the low bed, when Sima Chao saw the prison doctor and asked, "Is it possible?" Was he poisoned? ”

The prison doctor replied: "This man fainted and did not wake up, and the old man just gave him an injection, but he saw that the silver needle was black, so he should have been poisoned." ”

"Can you tell what kind of poison it is?"

The prison doctor frowned, hesitated and replied, "It seems to be Heding Red, but Heding Red is extremely poisonous, and it should be stained and killed." ”

"Or, because the man ate very little, he didn't die, he just fainted."

Guo Xiaotian's middle is also a crane top red!

This is no coincidence!

When Sima Chao heard this, he frowned deeply, and after thinking for a while, he instructed the jailer: "Take the prison doctor to test the girl." ”

The jailer took the order and took the prison doctor away, and after a while, the prison doctor came back and said to Sima Chao: "Young General, that woman is also poisonous in her body, but it is also a small amount, and it will not be fatal." ”

The jailer chimed in: "That woman has been vomiting and diarrhea since yesterday, and we thought that she was caused by going to the dungeon, so it seems that it was also because she was poisoned." ”

Sima Chao asked, "She was also poisoned?" ”

The prison doctor replied: "The poison in her body may be less than this person, and it is difficult for the old man to see what poison she has in, in short, there is not much poison in her body, and it is not fatal, the old man just poured her a decoction of detoxification, and she should be fine tomorrow." ”

When Ting Wei heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "These two people were actually poisoned, what's going on, the dungeon is heavily guarded, could it be that he was poisoned with Da Situ at the banquet that day?" ”

"This is not right, if the three of them were poisoned at the same time, why did Da Situ die on the spot, but these two people can survive until now, and the poisoning is very light?"

"Strange thing! It's amazing! I've been investigating the case for so many years, and I've never seen such a strange thing. ”

Ting Wei complained one after another in his mouth, and couldn't help but ask Sima Chao: "Young General, what do you think about this?" ”

Seeing that Sima Chao was silent, he said again: "If you don't go to the lower ranks, go and invite Lord Zhao from the Criminal Department, and let's ponder it together." ”

"This case is so strange, I really can't figure it out."

Sima Chao waved his hand and replied, "No need, I suddenly remembered something." ”

"I'm in a hurry to get home!"

So saying, he strode out of the dungeon, ordered his retinue to lead the horse, and hurried back to the mansion at a gallop.

Mrs. Tai finished the incense in the family temple and did not rush back to the house, she took Luo Fu and Sima Cheng to live in the Zhuangzi.

Luo's mother and son have not been reunited for a long time, Mrs. Tai wants to make them more close, and the house is sad and bleak because of Guo Xiaotian's affairs for a while, which also makes Mrs. Tai tired, Zhuangzi is pure, and she also wants to be quiet here.

Since he spent the night here, Sima Cheng naturally wanted to stick to his mother, he lived in Luo's place, and Luo Fu still lived in the same room where he first came to the family temple.

In the night, it rained gently, although the rain was not heavy, but it kept falling, and Love went to bed early, but his heart was in turmoil, and it was easy to fall asleep, and he had nightmares all the time.

She dreamed that Sima Chao found out that she had killed Guo Xiaotian, and he sent her to Guo Guifei in a fit of rage.

She dreamed that she was put on the gallows, surrounded by firewood, she was frightened and frightened, and shouted for help at Sima Chao, but he was unmoved, Shuangchi stood beside Sima Chao, she said to herself: "You go to die, if you die, no one will rob Sima Chao with me." ”

The fire was raging, and she saw that her lower body was bleeding red.

When did she become pregnant with Sima Chao's flesh and blood again?

Is he so ruthless again!

"Help me! Save the kids! ”

The dream was so real that she exclaimed how easily it had been to break free from the terrible dream, and Love, covered in sweat, sat up with a scream.

"You did it, didn't you?"

It was still dark, and there was a sudden sound in the room, which frightened Love, and she followed the sound and saw Sima Chao standing at the head of her bed.
