The city gate of the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Musk's carriage had already arrived, and the guards at the city gate did not recognize it as their lord's carriage for a while, so they stopped it.

"Do you have any documents to enter the city?" The guard asked the coachman.

"Take a good look at it." The coachman's tone was not good, he pointed to the mark on the side of the carriage, this guard is new, and he doesn't even know the carriage of his own city lord?

The guard frowned and stepped forward to look at the familiar mark.

It's the family seal of the Lord of Hu Musk City!

"Right...... I'm sorry, my lord, but I didn't look at it carefully. The guard hastened to explain.

"Okay, be quiet, City Lord Hu is resting in the carriage, I have to send him home."

"Well, yes, yes." The guards nodded and gave way.

Hu Musk Deer is very prestigious in this Mingnan City, his father is the former city lord of Mingnan City, although the son inherits his father's business, and he grew up here, but he did not inherit his father's love for Mingnan City, for him, Mingnan City is just a business, and the only pursuit of business is profit.

He has done a lot of hurtful things, and the people of Mingnancheng are afraid of him, but all of this is for the benefit of Mingnancheng.

He Hu Musk will never let Ming Nancheng fall into danger, and the alliance with Ye Lingyun is a danger, he doesn't dare to gamble on his most profitable business.

The coachman drove in the carriage through the gate, and the carriage soon arrived at Hufu.

The coachman entered the carriage to wake up the musk deer, and as soon as the curtain opened, the musk deer was lying on his side in the carriage, he was sleeping soundly, and the coachman stepped forward and shook the musk deer's shoulder.

"City Lord Hu, City Lord Hu." The coachman whispered twice.

Hu Musk Deer didn't react, this is also too sleepy, think about it, maybe Hu City Lord is really too tired, or don't disturb him.

The coachman put the hand of the musk deer on his shoulder, and he prepared to carry the musk deer into the mansion.

The coachman's arm passed over the face of the musk deer, and the surroundings were so calm that the coachman suddenly noticed something.

He was stunned, then gently leaned his fingers against the neck of the musk deer, and gently pressed down a little.

Three seconds, lift, press down.

Three seconds, lift, press down again.

Three seconds, and then lift it up again.

Nine seconds, just nine seconds, the driver's face changed wildly, sweat dripping down, and he couldn't stop at all.

"I ...... City...... Wildly...... Lord Hu ...... I'm going to carry you back......"

The musk deer was still asleep, and the coachman was just talking to himself.

The coachman carried the musk deer on his back, and he quickly got out of the carriage.

When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion saw the City Lord returning, they prepared to greet him.

"Lord of the Castle ......"

"Shhhh The coachman interrupted the guards.

"Oh, that's right, then you can send the city lord in." The guard whispered.

"Well, I know, I'll be out soon."

The coachman did not stop for a moment, and his steps became bigger and bigger, and he was not afraid of bumping into his Hu City Lord.

Seeing the coachman enter the yard, it only took a few minutes, and he really came out quickly, sweating all over his head, as if he had done exercise.

"What's wrong with you?" The guard asked the driver with concern.

"Oh, it's okay, hahaha, don't look at City Lord Hu is not fat, he is actually quite hard...... It's heavy, I wish he could move. The driver said with a smile.

"Uh...... yes. ”

"Yes......" The two were embarrassed for a while, and the coachman hurriedly continued: "Then I'll leave first, you take care of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

"You walk slowly."

The guards were a little surprised, this city lord's special coachman had always rarely spoken, but today he had talked to him for a long time, and it felt strange.

Everyone also knows that Hu Musk Deer is back, and the maid Xiaocui was instructed to bring a bowl of chicken soup to the city lord to drink, which is the hard work of the second lady for a day.

"Lord of the City, the second lady brought you a bowl of chicken soup, and I will serve it to you." Xiao Cui said as she stood at the door of Hu Musk's house.

For a long time, there was no response in the house, is the lord of the castle asleep?

"Lord of the City, then I'm in."

Xiao Cui pushed open the door, she put the chicken soup on the table, and saw the Hu Musk City Lord lying on the bed motionless, not even taking off his clothes.

It seems that the lord of the castle is really tired, and he even slept on the bed without even taking off his clothes.

It was up to her to change it.

Xiao Cui walked to the side of the bed and slowly turned over the body of the musk deer, the whole body of the musk deer was hard, and he didn't know what was going on.

It really felt weird, Xiao Cui shook his musk deer.

"Lord of the city?"

Why can't the lord of the castle wake up? I don't know what kind of ghost sent the gods, Xiao Cui hung her index finger under the nose of the musk deer.

"Ahh

Cui withdrew her fingers as if she had been electrocuted, breathing heavily, and gagged her mouth with her hand to keep herself from screaming.

No, I didn't find out by myself, I don't know anything! Yes, I don't know anything!

"Lord Castle, I'm ...... I'll go first. ”

Xiaocui got up in a panic and was about to leave, but she glanced at the bowl of chicken soup on the table again, she quickly picked up the bowl, poured the chicken soup out of the window, and put the bowl back on the table.

With all that done, she ran out of the room, closed the door, and everything was exactly as it had been before she entered.

At night, Hu Musk's second lady came, and it seemed that Hu Musk stayed in the room to sleep as soon as he came back, and it seemed that he was really tired, so the second lady wanted to come and see him.

"Master, are you awake?" The second lady asked.

There was silence in the middle of the night, and the musk deer did not respond.

Is he still sleeping?

The second lady pushed open the door directly, and the first thing she saw was the empty bowl on the table, which should contain the chicken soup that she had carefully cooked.

"Hehe, sir, so you've already drunk it." The second lady laughed happily, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with the empty bowl.

Looking at the bed again, the bearded musk deer was lying motionless.

"Sir."

The second lady sat down on the edge of the bed, and she called.

The musk deer did not react.

"Sir? What happened to you? ”

She patted it gently.

"Sir? Master!! ”

She shook the musk deer again, still ...... There was no response, like a corpse.

The second lady realized that something was wrong, and she stared, her fingers trembling on the neck of the musk deer, which was hard, cold, lifeless, and without the slightest pulse.

Musk deer...... Lord Hu ...... Master...... He...... He's dead?!!

"Ah!!h

The screams of the second lady woke up the entire Hu Mansion.

In the entire Hu Mansion, only the coachman and the maid Xiaocui, who were exclusive to Hu Musk, did not hear the screams of the second lady, and the two had already left.

No one knows how Hu Musk Deer died, and no one knows when Hu Musk Deer died, only that Hu Musk Deer died on the bed of his own mansion, and it was his second wife who found his body.
