The outcome was as they had predicted.
There's something wrong with the water.
This matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will alert the enemy.
Tian Guoguo gave her second brother a few words of advice, and upon hearing this, Tian Yihong immediately went to Tian Yifan and whispered a few words to him as well.
After General Cui and Su Shangheng arrived, the banquet began.
As the main characters, Tian Laosi and others first said a few words of thanks, and everyone present flattered them.
Now we can get started.
But after only a few bites, everyone suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed on the table.
Guo, who had been peeking from the doorway, was so frightened by the scene that she immediately trembled and tried to run away.
But as soon as he turned around, he bumped into the servant.
The servant was waiting here on purpose, just to see how the Tian family was doing.
Seeing Guo's cowardly appearance, he shoved her away disdainfully, "With such little courage, you still dared to take money from my master back then..."
"Oh!"
To this day, Guo still doesn't know who the servant's master is.
Upon hearing him bring it up suddenly, she immediately pressed for details, "Your master is...?"
Before he could even utter the word "who," he was frightened away by the servant's fierce glare.
She quickly shut her mouth.
Then, looking at the villagers in the Tian family courtyard, he stammered again, "He, they all, what, what happened to them?"
The servant was utterly disgusted by this nagging woman.
He took a deep breath, about to knock her unconscious with a single blow...
But as soon as he raised his hand, before he could even put it down, someone grabbed his knee and pulled him down to his knees in pain.
Yang Zhao's voice followed immediately.
"General, the man has been caught!" Upon hearing the word "General," the servant shuddered.
Not only was he discovered, but General Cui caught him red-handed!
Guo was also trembling with fear.
Guo even tried to cover it up, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, saying that it had nothing to do with her and that it was all the servant's doing.
If she hadn't said it was all the servant's doing, people might have really thought it had nothing to do with her.
But she did say it.
Before anyone could decipher the meaning of her words, the servant immediately exposed her.
"Didn't you administer that medicine?"
How could Guo dare to admit it!
He quickly waved his hands, saying it wasn't him, and even bit Ding Zhaodi out.
They said it was Ding Zhaodi who administered the drugs, and that she had nothing to do with it!
Ding Zhaodi was having dinner at home. She hadn't caused any trouble at the Tian family recently, and the old lady had given her a piece of braised pig intestines before she was told to go back.
They said they wanted her to celebrate too.
When she got back, she cut the pig intestines into several pieces and distributed them to the children and men. She also generously gave Xie Shuyan a piece, which was unusual for her.
This startled Xie Shuyan.
Did his mother poison him?
He stared at his mother for a long time until she ate the large intestine first, and only then did he dare to eat.
Just as she swallowed it, Yang Zhao ran over and said he was going to take her mother to the Tian family's house.
Xie Shuyan asked curiously, "What happened?"
Yang Zhao: "Someone said she poisoned me!"
Xie Shuyan…
He instinctively wanted to vomit up the pig intestines he had eaten.
Unfortunately, I can't spit it out!
He wanted to go and see too.
He thought his father and the others might want to come along, so he told them, "I'll go check first, you don't need to rush!"
As it turns out, they really weren't in a hurry!
Ding Zhaodi shouted that she was innocent and was dragged away, but Xie Daniu and the others didn't even bother to look at her!
The Tian family.
General Cui is already interrogating the servant.
As for the villagers who were foaming at the mouth, they are actually all fine.
Tian Guoguo had previously instructed her second brother to inform everyone to put on a play together tonight, hoping to catch them like turtles in a jar.
See? We've caught the turtle.
This servant boy would rather die than reveal who his master was.
Su Shangheng wanted to use torture to force him to talk, but General Cui ordered Yang Zhao to investigate him. Since he wouldn't talk, then just investigate him directly!
He refused to believe they couldn't find out!
The servant immediately cowered. If General Cui and his men were to investigate, they would probably find out about his entire family.
He is certain to die today, and we must not let his family suffer as a result.
"A bountiful harvest, a bountiful harvest indeed!"
He said it immediately.
However, if he were to betray his master like this, his family might also be in danger, so he had no choice but to take all the responsibility.
He continued, "This has nothing to do with my master. It was all my fault. I only harmed the Tian family because I didn't like them!"
"If you want to fight or kill, come at me!"
This isn't something you can simply dismiss by saying it has nothing to do with you.
General Cui immediately sent someone to bring Tian Fengshou over.
The Tian family in the outer city.
Tian Fengshou was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room.
The servant he sent to harm the Tian family was a domestic slave.
A "household slave" is someone whose entire family are servants of the peasantry. Sending such a person out to do errands is considered acceptable, even if the deception is exposed…
He would then take full responsibility.
Because he had to consider his family.
Therefore, in theory, there is no need to worry too much about a bumper harvest.
But he was panicking!
It's that kind of uncontrollable panic!
As it turned out, his panic was justified.
Dinner was ready in the kitchen, and just as Qian was about to come and call him for dinner, the Tian family's front door was ruthlessly kicked open.
Three or five of General Cui's personal guards and seven or eight soldiers rushed in.
What's the purpose of all this big fuss?
That would definitely mean arresting them!
It takes more than 25 minutes to get from the outer city to Anping Village. Before Tian Fengshou was brought there, Su Shangheng interrogated Ding Zhaodi first.
Ding Zhaodi is truly innocent!
She rarely didn't cause trouble, yet she was still framed.
Guo immediately said, "It was Ding Zhaodi. I didn't dare to poison her, so I gave it to her. She's the one who poisoned me. It has nothing to do with me!"
Guo thought that this would save the dog's life!
Ding Zhaodi was completely dumbfounded.
Su Shangheng briefly summarized what had happened and asked her, "Did you poison the water in the Tian family's house?"
Ding Zhaodi naturally denied it, "I didn't!"
Guo immediately bit her, "I, I gave you all the medicine!"
She then asked Su Shangheng to search her.
You'll definitely find something.
Su Shangheng frowned slightly.
He glanced at General Cui opposite him; the two seemed to be exchanging glances.
A moment later.
Su Shangheng then looked at Guo Shi and said, "You said she has medicine on her, then go and search her!"
"If we can't find it..."
He didn't finish his threatening words, but his cold gaze was already quite evident.
How could the Guo family not be found?
She put the medicine in herself!
She scrambled over to Ding Zhaodi's side, saying she was sure she could find something, and started to search Ding Zhaodi's body.
Ding Zhaodi resisted.
She never poisoned anyone, so why should Guo search her?
She refused to accept it! But just as she was about to move, Guo grabbed her sleeve and precisely found half a dose of medicine powder in her sleeve.
Guo clutched the medicine as if it were a lifeline.
Ignoring Ding Zhaodi's incredulous expression, she quickly ran to Su Shangheng's side.
"My lord, my lord, look!"
Su Shangheng glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard quickly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Shi.
Guo family?
Then Su Shangheng said, "Guo poisoned the villagers of Anping first, and then framed others. He should be punished for both crimes..."
"He deserves to die!"
The last four words were spoken with great emphasis.
Guo was so frightened that she staggered. What? What frame-up?
Ding Zhaodi was also stunned.
What does this mean?
Su Shangheng used his experience in handling cases to recount the events to everyone.
