Lu Ming squeezed through the crowd, walked through the narrow and closed streets, drilled through the gap of a figure, and walked to the front of the crowd. The people around looked back at Lu Ming's small figure one by one, and all kinds of trivial whispers reached Lu Ming's ears.

Grandma Zheng collapsed in the store like that, lying on the dusty ground, with a hideous face and black lips, and next to her was a servant from Xingluo City, and several law enforcement officers in golden clothes.

Lu Ming's brain buzzed all of a sudden, as if someone had grabbed his hair fiercely and drowned in the water, he couldn't breathe, and there was a faint pain in his chest.

Grandma Zheng didn't leave too many strong strokes in his memory, and his feelings were not too deep, but when he saw this scene for a while, he still couldn't accept it, and the tide of pain spread from his chest to every sense of his body.

"Grandpa", Lu Ming remembered the trivial voice just now, a guess formed in his heart, and the feeling of panic became more and more intense, Lu Ming hurriedly shouted.

However, there was a dead silence in the air, and a balding old man responded to him as expected, and the crowd stopped whispering, and carefully approached Lu Ming, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"The shopkeeper of this tavern is your grandfather", a law enforcement officer turned around, with a Chinese face and a beard.

"Yes, may I ask what is going on here", Lu Ming suppressed his trembling voice and said this paragraph as sane as he could.

"Do you have any other relatives", the man spoke very slightly, squatting down and looking at Lu Ming, with pity in his eyes.

"I don't have any other relatives, can you tell me what's going on?" , Lu Ming said anxiously.

The man was silent for a moment, touched Lu Ming's head, pondered for a while, then stood up and sighed, "Come with me", the man waved his hand and dispersed the surrounding crowd.

The man dragged Lu Ming to the tavern and covered Mrs. Zheng's body with a layer of cloth. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, flicked it, lit it with flint, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of green smoke.

"Your grandfather, suspected of murder, the old lady next door was poisoned, and the poison was found in your grandfather", the man spoke very slowly, paused every time he said a few words, and searched carefully in his mind, what kind of words would not hurt a child's adoration of his relatives.

"Your grandfather may be taken to the government for a few days, don't worry, as long as he is not a murderer......", the man did not continue, pinched the cigarette and took a deep breath, sighing.

"I want to see my grandfather", Lu Ming's heart was very flustered, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. All this is too abnormal, the murder of Grandma Zheng, the arrest of Old Man Lu, and the arrival speed of this unreasonable government law enforcement officer, just like a big net, a long-planned frame-up.

"Impossible, the superiors attach great importance to this case, let alone you, I can't even see your grandfather", the man looked at the sky, frowning, and the red light flashed on his fingertips.

At this moment, a figure in the distance hurriedly ran over, it was another law enforcement officer, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who leaned over to the man and whispered a few words.

"What? ...... It's just nonsense......", the man frowned, took the last puff of his cigarette hard, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it hard.

As if he had been drained of his strength, the man lowered his head and looked at the crushed tobacco, with a wry smile on his face.

"Child, do you know any elders with whom you have a good relationship? , neighbors, friends, etc.", the man's voice was very low, and his voice was still a little hoarse.

"No, you tell me what happened", Lu Ming was very irritable at this time, and all kinds of things were entangled, like weeds. This man always treats him as a child, and his speech is always intermittent, which makes people anxious.

"Your grandfather has been identified as a prisoner and will be executed the day after tomorrow", the man was silent for a while, and then said this sentence word by word, and the sound swept through Lu Ming's body like a fire, burning him to only sparkling white bones.

Lu Ming stayed where he was, this small flow of information seemed to have a powerful energy, and it forcibly occupied the processing system in Lu Ming's mind, and it took a while to react.

"This is impossible, my grandfather has no motive to kill at all, let alone how can you determine that my grandfather is the murderer based on a bottle of poison? Where did this bottle of poison come from? Where did you buy it from, and how did you get the poison? ”。 Lu Ming could no longer suppress the irritability in his heart, and roared out like a cannon.

"I'm sorry, but we tried our best, and it has been investigated that your grandfather is the murderer", the man smiled self-deprecatingly, and then with a little apology, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to silently Lu Ming's little head.

"Go to the ** and do your best, you are just a bunch of waste, rice buckets, pickled things that take care of people's lives", Lu Ming shook off the man's hand, and his suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, and he scolded.

Before the man could react, Lu Ming hurriedly quickened his pace and walked out, squeezing through the crowd.

There is still hope, Marquis, that damn Marquis, he will definitely be able to help me, Old Man Lu will be fine, he will be fine!

"Master, go to the Marquis's Mansion", Lu Ming saw the swarthy and honest rickshaw driver again, showing a mouth of white teeth.

The coachman also seemed to see that Lu Ming was not in a good mood now, and he didn't come forward to talk, just quietly pulled the car.

Lu Ming sat in the car, his fingers tapping on the handrail in a chaotic manner, and his mind was in a mess.

"Calm down, I want to be calm", Lu Ming took a deep breath, took out a wisdom charm from his arms and released it, all kinds of strange energy made the logic gradually clear.

The distance between the Fengtian Tavern and the official mansion is about three or four streets, and if there is not too much crowd, there is about the time of a cigarette in the carriage, assuming that not far after I went out, Grandma Zheng was killed, and it took me about half an hour to send Xiaoyuhan back. And in more than half an hour, someone needs to cross five or six streets to report the case, and then review and investigate, and finally take Old Man Lu away.

Damn, the time is not right at all, how can it be possible to complete this move in more than half an hour, Lu Ming frowned deeply, and a guess was formed.

Unless, the personnel of the government have been waiting for the case to happen early, so they can complete the whole process in such a quick time, they have long known that this will happen, waiting nearby, and even omitting a lot of cumbersome workflows, just to convict Old Man Lu.

But who would do that? What's in it for him? The only people who can control the government to a certain extent are the aristocracy and the royal family.

Old man Lu didn't know any enemies on weekdays, and the only nobleman he ever came into contact with was the damn marquis.

If that's him, then what exactly is his purpose? All he did was to get me to come to him, to owe him a favor?

Damn it, what is Grandma Zheng? Bugs?

Lu Ming slapped the armrest fiercely, clenched his fists, and his anger was suppressed in his heart, like a violent volcano, which could erupt at any time.

Then he remembered the situation of Old Man Lu, and his anger was extinguished by a basin of cold water, as if he had been drained of all his strength, slumped in his seat, looked up at the sky and muttered, "No matter what your purpose is, you won." ”

Under the setting sun, Lu Ming's eyes were dyed with orange firelight, and as the effect of the spell passed, that feeling of irritability came back to him.

It was as if he could hear the whispers as soon as he closed his eyes, saw Old Man Lu standing in the middle of the square, being sentenced to death, and saw the people around him pointing and spitting out fine spittle.

"Two Copper Soul Coins", the coachman's voice interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts and pulled him out of that scene.

The car stopped quietly on the side of the road, and in front of it was a red-gold gate with two carriages wide, and on both sides of the gate stood two large stone lions, and the lion had a moon pearl worth a thousand gold in its mouth. Above the door, there is a word that the emperor personally gave the pen - Guang'an Hou Mansion.

Lu Ming suppressed the irritability in his heart, paid the coachman, and then picked up the beautiful token given by the marquis before, and walked straight forward......
