Chapter 13 - Nursery Rhymes (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Attention, Ask for Collection)

In a hotel in the business district, Lu Ming originally wanted to sleep in two rooms for one night, and casually took Lily, the fiancΓ©e who was recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition. As a result, because there was only one room left in the inn, three people had to be crammed into a bed for a night. However, although she didn't succeed in doing Lily, this feeling of hugging left and right still made Lu Ming, who had no girlfriend in his life, squatting at home a little refreshed. Moreover, this time he didn't have to be afraid, because it was Yusaha and Lily who took the initiative to lie in his arms.

After getting dressed, Lu Ming walked out of the house and was destroyed by the geismus, and had to get together to the hotel for the night.

Bathed in the warm sun, Lu Ming's eyes were not very warm. At this time, his eyes have been looking in the direction of the aristocratic district, especially Viscount Hatu's side.

"Let's go. Let's go to the Lord's Mansion and take a look, the Church must have started an investigation into Viscount Hatu. I believe that today, there will be results! ”

For Lu Ming's optimism, You Saha couldn't help but feel a little headache. In order not to make Lu Ming feel surprised by the final result, she had to remind: "Viscount Hatu's backstage is the Grand Duke of the Principality of Errebos, one of the henchmen of Grand Duke Ramtes Hedis, it is impossible to be brought down because of a little thing!" ”

"In other words, in the end, we still have to be careful about his assassination?" Lu Ming asked in some surprise.

"Pretty much."

After receiving You Saha's answer, Lu Ming was slightly silent, then frowned, moved his eyes to some children on the streets of the business district, and muttered: "I didn't expect that I would have a day to learn from the ancients to play nursery rhymes."

"What nursery rhyme?"

"Nothing." Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, then walked straight to the children, took out a few copper coins for them, and said something to them that Lily and You Saha didn't understand very well-

When Lu Ming and the three of them came to the outside of the Lord's Mansion, a platform for speeches had been set up here, and there were many people who knew that they were nobles at a glance.

Behind the makeshift table, there were several seats, and in the middle of the table sat Yusaha's mother, Countess Luyanali. On either side of her, there was a chubby clergyman, and a tall, thin aristocrat.

"Is that your mother in the middle? Why are you wearing a mask? Hiding in the crowd, Lu Ming pointed to Countess Luyanali and asked Yusaha.

"Her face was burned by the enemy's fire-based magic during a battle, so she just"

"Okay. So which two people are who? I don't think I've seen them in the aristocracy! Lu Ming pointed to the people on both sides of the countess and asked Yu Saha.

Yu Saha, who was a little annoyed by the question, glared at Lu Ming before replying, "The priesthood on the left is the chief priest of the church, High Priest Ugolet. On the right is our Grand Duke Ramtes Hedis, Viscount Rooney Alta, a personal retinue. The two of them don't usually appear, so it's normal that you haven't seen them. ”

"Oh." Because he was afraid that Yu Saha would be angry, Lu Ming touched his nose and stopped asking questions.

At this time, the high priest and the countess gave a young nobleman who looked a little young two manuscripts and asked him to go up to the table and read them.

Helplessly, those young nobles had no choice but to walk to the stage, take the manuscript, and read it a little nervously.

"The day before yesterday, the magistrate of Lu Ming in the city reported that Viscount Hatu sent someone to attack him, and according to the investigation, the attacker was a problem mercenary who had already been dismissed by Lord Hatu. The purpose of their attack on Sheriff Lu Ming is to give Viscount Hatu dirty water, so we will hang them! To show that the top brass of Paris City is serious and serious about the affairs of Viscount Hatu and Sheriff Lu Ming."

"Oh~ is that so?" Because of You Saha's little reminder, Lu Ming was not surprised by this situation.

"Yesterday, Sheriff Lu Ming was attacked outside the city by a dark and evil man who, according to his own account, carried the wasp crest of the Viscount Hatu family. And the white magic apprentices and a large number of priests in the church in the city also confirmed that Sheriff Lu Ming was indeed attacked, and went to the church with loot and a burnt wasp coat of arms."

Obviously, this was a manuscript given by the high priest of the church.

But just when Lu Ming felt a little grateful for the help of the church, the damn young nobleman suddenly changed his words and went in the direction that was not favorable to Lu Ming.

However, after an investigation by the higher-ups of Paris City, it was discovered that the wasp crest on the evil figure had actually been stolen by the man along with several treasures three months ago, and had nothing to do with Viscount Hart. However, due to the repeated attacks on Sheriff Lu Ming, we do not rule out the possibility that someone deliberately attempted to kill him. The details will be announced after a thorough investigation has been completed! ”

This kind of sharp turn of the year made Lu Ming half angry. He even wanted to ask Yusaha which side her mother was on?

At this moment, however, a servant hurried up to the tall and thin viscount to the countess's right, and whispered a few words in his ear. Then Lu Ming obviously saw that his face had changed a few times, and finally his originally calm face had turned into an angry expression.

While the nobles mistakenly thought that the re-announcement was coming to an end, and were about to say goodbye to the countess, the high priest, and the tall and thin Viscount, the tall and thin Viscount Rooney Alta ignored the Countess's angry eyes and walked to the stage on his own.

As soon as they saw this scene, Yu Saha and Lily both subconsciously grabbed Lu Ming's hand, very worried that Viscount Arta would say something unfavorable to Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming knew that Viscount Alta was on his side this time.

And the words of Viscount Alta in the next moment also proved this!

"I am the representative of the Grand Duke Ramtes Hadis, Viscount Rooney Alta. The reason why I came up to this stage is because I am disappointed that the high-ups of Paris City are biased in favor of Viscount Hatu! ”

In an instant, the people under the stage were boiling. They looked at Viscount Alta in disbelief, whispering below.

Even Yusaha and Lily are no exception.

"According to what my subordinates have investigated, Viscount Hatu is the mastermind of these two attacks on Sheriff Lu Ming, and he is also the real mastermind! In addition, as far as I know, Viscount Hatu has also been plotting to overthrow our Grand Duke and replace him himself! And this decision of Paris's top brass has to make me think that they have the intention of supporting Viscount Hatu's rebellion! ”

Viscount Rooney Alta was impassioned, which instantly aroused the questioning of the nobles at the bottom to the top, and made the eyes of the countess and others become a little cold.

However, aristocrats are aristocrats, and they will not stand up for a commoner sheriff. Therefore, Viscount Alta immediately said: "However, out of fairness and justice, the Grand Duke and I will not directly act against Viscount Hatu. A certain amount of evidence is needed to prove Viscount Hatu's rebellion, so the Grand Duke's army will arrive tomorrow to fully investigate Viscount Hatu and his family, as well as the higher-ups of Paris City. And the matter between Sheriff Lu Ming and Viscount Hatu will end through a duel. If Sheriff Lu Ming wins, then as compensation, Sheriff Lu Ming will be canonized as a baron and receive a portion of the property of Viscount Hatu's family. But if Viscount Hatu wins, then his charge of plotting to attack and attempt to kill Sheriff Lu Ming will be dropped, and he will only be investigated whether he is really hoarding troops and deliberately plotting rebellion! As for the time of the duel, it will be set for tomorrow evening, and the location is where we are standing at this time! Neither side of the duel is allowed to flee, or the army of Erebos will hunt them down! ”

After speaking, Viscount Alta stepped down from the podium step by step under the angry gaze of Viscount Hattu, raised his head and chest, ignored Viscount Hattu very arrogantly, quickly returned to his seat, and talked to the gloomy countess Luyanali.

After listening to all the speeches, Lu Ming frowned, touched his chin, which was already a little bit mustache, and then pulled Yu Saha and Lili, who were already stupid, away.

And Viscount Hatu, on the other side, also left here with his men with a gloomy and terrible face.

As soon as he returned to the study in the mansion, Viscount Hatu swept the things on the desk to the ground and yelled angrily: "Damn the soul! How did he know about my plans!? ”

Then he pointed to several of his own and walked down, and asked angrily, "Say!" Who leaked the news!? Say!! ”

"I don't think it's the news that someone leaked!" At this time, one of Viscount Hatu's daughters suddenly walked in with a document and handed it to Viscount Hatu.

After only a few glances, Viscount Hatu sat down in his chair as if deflated, looking at his daughter in disbelief.

"Wasp, want to be a man. Kill the dragon and replace it. The scorpion touches the armor, and there is not one. The former courtiers were all slaughtered. Six hundred years, Queen Bee! Hatu's daughter sang a nursery rhyme with a smile, and then said to her father: "This is a nursery rhyme that suddenly appeared today, presumably Uncle Arta will suddenly stand on the side of the civilian named Lu Ming, partly because of this!" ”

"Since ancient times, nursery rhymes have been related to the Mandate of Heaven. If the Grand Duke really hears this nursery rhyme and lets him know about our plan, then my hard work and that of Lord Amani will be in vain! ”

"Father, do you still have the heart to care about those efforts? Do you really think that the Grand Duke doesn't know anything about you and Amani, the illegitimate son of the royal family? ”

"What do you mean? Wait a minute! You mean, the Grand Duke already knew! Alta's sudden change of stance is not all because of this nursery rhyme, but a wake-up call for me!? ”

"That's right! The night before, I had a few words with the monsters in skeletal armor. From its mouth, I learned that Amani, the bastard child, does not value you at all. He has a lot of powerful and sane monsters there. And for you, it's just a defective product! In addition, he was also connected with the Grand Duke, that is to say, "-
