Tuoba Hong asked several times if the person who came to spread the news was true.
He couldn't believe his ears.
In order to confirm the information, he cried loudly and ran to his second uncle's house. When he saw everyone preparing for the funeral and the witch doctor hanging his hands aside, he realized that his long-cherished wish seemed to have come true!
He pulled the witch doctor and asked: "Witch doctor, I was having dinner and drinking with my second uncle yesterday. He is only fifty years old and is still so young. He left suddenly for no reason. This must be a lie, right? This always There has to be a reason!”
The witch doctor regretted: "Master Tuobagang has indeed passed away. He must have been drunk and overeating, and his stomach was ruptured. It might have been possible to save him, but the food got stuck in his airway when he vomited, and he was not rescued in time. He was rescued and eventually died of suffocation.”
Tuoba Hong felt so happy!
He originally just wanted Tuoba Gang to suffer from some stomach problems, but he didn't expect that he was actually stuck to death by his own vomit. What great news! This time, no one can even be blamed. It can be said that this was entirely his own fault!
Tuoba Hong was so happy that his face turned red. He really couldn't hold back his nausea anymore and went to comfort Tuoba Gang's wife and children one by one. He immediately got angry and attacked his heart. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
After the witch doctor poured a whole bowl of hot water into him, he woke up leisurely, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and said to Tuobagang's daughter: "Cousin, I'm so sad that I fainted at your house. Give it to you. It’s causing trouble.”
Tuobagang's daughter said with tears and runny nose, "Cousin, don't talk, I will take care of you."
Tuoba Hong endured his nausea and held her hand, saying: "No, cousin, you should go and comfort your mother now. She is the saddest person. Leave me alone. I will go back to my big tent to rest. But. I’ll come see you after I’ve recovered a little.”
Before Tuobagang's daughter could say anything else, he called his attendants and helped him back.
As soon as he entered the tent, Tuoba Hong immediately wiped his hands frantically, and then threw the sweat towel after wiping his hands directly into the fire and burned it before exhaling.
Cool!
At this time, the attendant in the tent brought him a bowl of water and a few pieces of roasted crispy bones, and said to him: "My lord, you haven't eaten until now this morning, and you fainted again at Lord Tuobagang's house. , let’s have something to eat quickly.”
Tuoba Hong pretended not to be interested in eating and said: "Leave it alone, I feel sad. I can't eat it now. I will eat it later."
The waiter put down the plate and left the tent.
At this time, Jin Miaomiao and Director Kong had packed up and came to the big tent to meet Tuoba Hong and thank him for his hospitality last night.
After greeting the two of them, Tuoba Hong said in a low tone: "Have you heard about it? My second uncle...he died."
The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with a "hey hey hey" look, and then said in unison to Tuoba Hong: "My condolences!"
Tuoba Hong nodded, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and subconsciously picked up the bowl to drink water.
At this time, Jin Miaomiao stepped forward and held his hand, saying: "Don't drink it, it's poisonous!"
Tuoba Hong's hand shook and the water bowl fell to the ground.
He looked at Jin Miaomiao blankly, and Director Kong was also shocked.
Jin Miaomiao said: "First call the person who brought the water in and ask. After asking, I will tell you how I know."
As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the water bowl, dipped her fingers into the water, put it to her nose and smelled it.
Of course it was impossible to tell the truth. She just needed to understand the person's behavior from his thoughts, so that she could make up a reasonable lie to get past him.
Tuoba Hong summoned the attendants just now as he was told.
As soon as the waiter came in, he glanced at the plates on the table. He saw that the bones were not moved, but the water had been spilled, and he was a little flustered.
Jin Miaomiao glared at him and said, "Why don't you tell me the truth?"
The attendant was getting more and more panicked. He was not sure what they knew, so he just said harshly: "I...I just saw that the master of the house had not had a drop of water all morning, so I prepared some water and food for him. I didn't do anything else." I do not know!"
Jin Miaomiao: "You prepared it all, and you still don't know? Tell me, where did the poison come from? When was it put into the water?"
The attendant became even more panicked and shouted: "What poison? I didn't put poison! You are talking nonsense!"
Jin Miaomiao sneered: "Everyone who gave you poison has been recruited, and you still haven't said anything?"
Of course this was blowing him up.
This alienation tactic works every time.
All evildoers are afraid that one day they will be betrayed by their accomplices, so it is better to strike first than to wait passively for death.
The attendant was so excited by her that he took action instantly.
It turned out that this attendant would put a small pill in the food prepared for Tuoba Hong every day.
The pill came from an elder of a branch. The man told him that as long as he gave the head of the family a pill like this every day, when the elder became the head of the house, he would give the servant a high official position so that he would never have to give anyone to anyone again. Be a cow and a horse.
At first, the attendant was worried that he would be caught when the poison took effect.
The head of the family told him that the medicine was very slow to take effect and it would take five years to die if he took one pill a day, and there was no trace of poisoning. If you want someone to die instantly, you must eat a whole can at one time, and then you can detect poisoning.
The attendant tried to feed Tuoba Hong for a few days, and found that he was fine. Except for nightmares at night, there was no other obvious reaction, so he boldly began to poison Tuoba Hong every day, counting the days until he could turn over and become bigger. official.
After the attendant explained the cause and effect, he was pressed down by Tuoba Hong's personal guards and brought over a whole jar of medicine.
Jin Miaomiao asked: "How long have you been feeding your master?"
The attendant cried: "Three...three years...ever since the old man became seriously ill, I..."
The boss refers to Tuoba Hong’s grandmother.
Therefore, since those people discovered that Tuoba Hong's grandmother was dead, they began to plan to take Tuoba Hong's life.
Jin Miaomiao was so angry that her hands shook, and she kept yelling at Tuoba Hong to kidnap the poisoner for interrogation.
Tuoba Hong was also very angry, but he asked Jin Miaomiao helplessly: "What if the other party said that this was all slandered by the attendant? We have no evidence to prove that this jar of medicine was given by him, right?"
Jin Miaomiao gritted her teeth and said, "Then let them go like this? These people want your life!"
Tuoba Hong said: "I know, of course I will ask them to pay with my life. But now is not the time."
Having said that, Tuoba Hong no longer had anything to hide, and told Jin Miaomiao and Director Kong all about the hardships he had experienced along the way, the revenge in his heart, and the danger before him.
He pointed to the half-jar of poison left on the table and said: "In my current field, there are many people who want my life. In addition to those who poison in secret, there are also people like the one who drank to death last night. That would clearly push me into a corner. As long as I make the slightest move of resistance, they will immediately join forces and eat me up."
He looked at Director Kong sincerely and said: "I invited you here this time, actually just because of the 'Legend of Qilin'. What I really want to do is to cooperate with the Xiao Family Group. I hope the Xiao Family can help I regain the dominance of the Tuoba Domain so that my people can live a life that human beings should live, and I will do my best to meet the Xiao family's requirements."
