Chapter 557: Lies

The little guy looked at them suspiciously.

"Young Master Cousin left Liangzhou a long time ago, since you said that you were his friend, don't you even know this?"

The guard coughed lightly, hiding his embarrassment, and only listened to him, "My family is in business." You know, it's normal to run around in business. No, I went out to buy goods some time ago, and now I'm back, and I just wanted to go to Jiang Gongzi's place to play, but who knew that I couldn't find his house. Huh! ”

"That's right." The guard's explanation was full of flaws, but the little guy really believed what he said. He opened the door and said with a hesitant face, "Young Master Cousin's house was burned by someone, and now it has turned to ashes, and it is normal to find it." ”

"What's going on, can you tell me?" The guard pinched his hand, squeezed out a few tears on his face, and looked at the little guy with a sad face.

The little guy was originally a soft-hearted person, and when he saw the guards crying, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

"My uncle has offended a lot of people by doing business outside. I don't know which enemy bought off the killer and killed everyone in Jiang Mansion, even the subordinates and the three-year-old child. After killing people, he burned Jiangfu with a fire. If it weren't for the young master who was studying outside, I am afraid that he would have died in this fire. Oh, that's pitiful. ”

Before the little girl could finish sighing, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man inside.

"Xiao Dezi, what are you doing at the door? Don't know if there's still a lot of work to do? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hearing what the person in the door said, the little guy called Xiao Dezi lowered his eyes slightly.

Then, a butler walked in. He looked at the few people standing in the doorway. frowned, and looked at the little guy again.

"Who are they?"

"It's a friend of the young master." The little guy said honestly.

"Friends?" The butler glanced at a few people with his eyes, and after a few seconds, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Since the sons are friends of the young master, let's go in and sit down."

What the butler said happened to collide with the guard's thoughts. His heart was pounding, and he said with an expression of disbelief, "Sit?"

"yes, sit down, what's wrong?" The housekeeper blinked innocently and sighed again, "My lord has three sons, and there is such a daughter as the eldest lady." Because there is only such a girl, she has been pampered in the palm of her hand since she was a child. When the eldest lady reached the age of marriage, my lord wanted to choose a gentle and capable son-in-law for her. But who knows, she fell in love with her uncle. After marrying my uncle, I only gave birth to a young master, and the young master went to other places again. My lord misses the young master, but the young master is far away, not in Liangzhou, I want to write a letter, but I am afraid of the big guy, so I have to give up. A few sons. Since you are friends with Young Master Cousin, you must know a lot about him. It just so happened that my lord had a serious illness recently and is now bedridden, if you are willing to tell him something about the young master, I think he will be in a better mood. When he is in a good mood, his illness may get better. ”

The butler said, looking at them pitifully.

"Childe, can you do the old man a favor?"

The butler was old, his hair was gray, and he was kind-looking, but just saying this instantly made several guards sympathetic overflowing.

"Don't be sad, uncle, we'll help you." A guard said.

"Really?" The butler's face was bright, but he quickly accepted it, "That's fine, please come with me." With that, the butler made a gesture of invitation to the crowd.

That's when they regretted it.

They were just ordinary guards, they hadn't even seen Jiang Huan's face, how did they know what was going on with him?

What happened just now is all nonsense, let them deceive an old man with nonsense, really, I can't bear it.

But I can't bear to cheat, after all, they have already entered the mansion, how can they be worthy of the trust of the lord and the wind without inquiring about Jiang Huan's previous affairs?

They think so, but they don't know that the person in charge is thinking so. It's just that what he thinks is different from what people behind him think.

What he was thinking about was how to make up a story to make the group of people behind him convinced, so that the people behind him would trust Jiang Huan completely.

The housekeeper took a few guards around a garden and two courtyards, and then walked to the room of "Old Man Liu".

"Childe, my lord is here, please let me report it." The butler said, pushed the door open, and walked inside.

A few seconds later, he was back in front of the group.

"Childe, my lord invites you in."

"Thank you, butler." The leading guard bowed his head and walked in with a group of people.

As the housekeeper had said, there was indeed a terminally ill and thin old man lying in the back of the room.

This old man should be the old man Liu in the housekeeper's mouth, Jiang Huan's grandfather.

"I've seen Master Liu." The guard was polite, and immediately saluted Master Liu who was lying on the bed.

"You are Huan'er's friends, come, you're welcome, sit." Master Liu handed the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper understood, helped the person up, and took out a pillow to cushion behind Master Liu.

"Thank you, sir." Several people sat down with a smile on their faces.

"Since they are friends of Huan'er, there is no need to be so polite." Master Liu is about fifty or sixty, because he is well maintained, and he looks like a person in his thirties and forties. Except for his pale face, Master Liu looks no different from a normal person. If it weren't for the housekeeper saying that he was sick, he wouldn't have been able to tell it just by feeling.

"Yes."

"It's been a long time since Huan'er left Liangzhou, and I really miss him. It's just that he was busy and couldn't bother, so he had to dismiss the idea of writing a letter. Hey, Childe, can you tell me about Huan'er's past? ”

Seeing that the guard's face was not very good, Master Liu said: "I don't mean anything else, I just miss Huan'er too much, I want to hear about him, if the son doesn't want to say it, then forget it."

No one could refuse the gracious old man's request, not even the ruthless guards.

"No, no, no, we want to say it." The guard said stiffly.

Anyway, this person is sick all the year round, and he can't even get out of the house, and he probably doesn't know anything about the things outside, so just say a few words and fool around.

Thinking of this, the guard nodded.

"Jiang Gongzi is very good, gentle and polite to people, knowledgeable, and can teach people to read and write. Jiang Gongzi and I are colleagues in the academy, but I can't compare to him in my studies and personality. Seriously, I envy Jiang Gongzi. ”

Scold!

Su Qibai, who was far away in the capital, snorted coldly.

Is he still gentle and polite, and knowledgeable?
