The old sunset with the sadness of fate shone on the red golden gate of the Marquis Mansion, full of magic, as if Lu Ming had long expected that Lu Ming would come, just like the silk thread of the three sisters of fate, tightly wrapped around Lu Ming, and its end point was this luxurious Marquis Mansion.

"I want to see Lord Marquis", Lu Ming said this paragraph calmly, holding the token, hiding his anger under his calm eyes.

He didn't like the feeling of being manipulated like a marionette, like a chess piece with no ego on a chessboard, not to mention that the chess player who forced him forward gambled his life like a bug to death.

The guard at the door looked at it, carefully checked the token, and revealed a trace of surprise, as if to say, you kid took the line of the marquis is lucky.

One guard went inside the door to summon the message, and the other waited outside, his eyes full of envy and respect, as if the person in front of him was not a child, but an adult who was high up.

It wasn't long before the Marquis came in a hurry, shaking the fan with a false smile on his face, like Loki, the mythical god of trickery, who made people want to vomit at the first sight.

"Is there something wrong with Xiaoyou coming to my Marquis's Mansion, come in quickly", the Marquis showed an enthusiastic look, grabbed Lu Ming's hand, and there was a burst of cold coolness, as if he was entangled by a poisonous snake.

The area of the Marquis's Mansion is very large, and the small courtyard that enters the gate is called the outer garden, which is generally for servants and servants to live, with small houses on the left and stables on the right.

Directly in front of it is a hidden wall, in front of which is a pond with some swimming fish, and there are two rockeries standing next to it.

"Look at my Marquis's Mansion, the scenery can be regarded as a sign, you look at this rockery, it is from the ......", the marquis seemed to introduce his collection to others, and pulled Lu Ming to carefully introduce the placement of various rockery flowers.

"Lord Marquis's courtyard is so good for Yaxing" However, Lu Ming was not in the mood to enjoy any scenery, so he could only perfunctory and flatter the marquis's words.

After a careful introduction, the marquis led Lu Ming to the inner garden at the back, to the hall in the center, and sat in the first place.

"Sit down, it's my turn to entertain you well this time", the marquis behaved like a big brother next door, and enthusiastically pulled Lu Ming to sit in his position, but in Lu Ming's opinion, it was disgusting.

"Lord Marquis, I have something ...... me"

"Come, try this cut cake, it is made by the authentic craftsman of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it tastes very good", Lu Ming was interrupted by the Marquis before he could say anything, and the Marquis pointed to a plate with a few snow-white pastries in it.

"Lord Marquis, I have no intention of enjoying the hospitality of the Marquis Mansion now, I have something to do, please help", Lu Ming did not take the things on the plate, with a sad face.

"My grandfather was framed for murder and is currently imprisoned in the prison of Star Luo City, please ask the Marquis to help", Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said what he meant.

The Marquis was stunned for a moment, as if he had never known about it, frowned, pondered for a while, and picked up the teacup.

"This is a bit difficult to do, I believe that your grandfather is not a murderer, the old man is not like that kind of person, but this official government does not believe it", the marquis sighed, and put on a look of embarrassment.

"But it doesn't matter, although it is difficult, but I will definitely protect your grandfather, and I can release your grandfather tomorrow morning", said here with a determined look.

"Then thank you Lord Marquis, I will never forget Lord Marquis's great kindness", Lu Ming's face gradually softened, and he squeezed out two tears, which was so moving.

"In this way, Xiaoyou will live in my Marquis's Mansion today, and I will bring the old man here tomorrow", the Marquis leaned closer, and pointed his finger on the table.

"Lord Marquis, I still miss the old days, now that my grandfather is in prison, I have no intention of enjoying the hospitality, and when my grandfather is proven innocent tomorrow, I will come to the Marquis Mansion to invite you to entertain you", Lu Ming didn't want to stay in this damn Marquis Mansion, and he had goosebumps all over his body while accompanying the Marquis to act.

"Lord Marquis, I will leave first, thank you Lord Marquis for your hospitality, and I will come to visit Lord Marquis in the future", Lu Ming said two polite words, with a sad face, and he looked like he didn't want to eat.

"Little friend, don't worry too much, I will definitely bring your grandfather back tomorrow", the marquis followed Lu Ming all the way to the gate of the marquis's mansion, watching him go away in the sunset.

The smile gradually shrugged down, and he returned to his expressionless face, humming a few feminine and brisk tunes, and returned to his original seat.

"Little Six", the Marquis twisted a piece of cut cake from the plate and put it in the end to savor the taste.

"Lord Marquis", a figure came to the marquis, his face expressionless, like a dead corpse, and his voice did not fluctuate.

"Send Li Caishun to the government, give him a bottle of poison, let him commit suicide by taking poison in prison, and squeak them by the way. Find someone who doesn't like the eye, beat the old man half to death, the kind that can't be saved, understand", the marquis savored the taste in his mouth, picked up a teacup, and took a sip of hot tea.

"By the way, tonight, send Li Caishun's daughter to my house", closed his eyes and pondered, and added.

"Yes", the man called Xiaoliu didn't say a word, and opened his mouth cleanly.

"Let's go down," the Marquis waved his hand, took a sip of the teacup, and licked his lips.

"Come on, as soon as the old man dies, I will be your only "relative", Xingluo City is so big, only the two of us depend on each other, you are the sharpest sword blade in my hand", the marquis muttered to himself for a while, humming that feminine little song, cocking Erlang's legs, and slapping the ground with his feet.

In the dark corner behind the table, a small insect crawled out, with the smell of dampness, slowly squirming to the feet, and was trampled to death by the marquis, and the yellow thick slurry splattered out, leaving a little mark on the ground, and not even a wail......

"Damn bugs," the Marquis spat lightly, staring at the bugs at his feet in disgust.

......

Lu Ming's hanging heart finally let go, he owed the marquis a favor, no matter what, he had no reason not to let go of Old Man Lu.

It's just that he may be inseparable from the struggle for power for the rest of his life, but that is secondary, Old Man Lu is good, that is the main thing.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming's mind also became brisk, and he picked a few remaining cherry blossoms on the side of the road, smelling the charming fragrance of flowers.

Under the fiery sunset, I walked quietly on the road, making small footsteps on the bluestone slab......

The lively stalls and vendors on the side of the street are fiddling with their goods, a few pedestrians pass by from time to time on the roadside, and the rickshaw driver is also driving hard, full of fireworks, it seems that Xingluo City is so prosperous and beautiful.

When I finally arrived at the Fengtian Tavern, the crowd around me also dispersed, leaving only the closed Fengtian Tavern and the breakfast shop next to it.

Grandma Zheng's body was still placed there, covered with a white cloth, and a few pedestrians who passed by from time to time also avoided it from a distance, for fear of getting into the bad weather.

Lu Ming couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, looking at the corpse of Old Lady Zheng, a wave of sourness welled up in his heart.

Grandma Zheng died like this, without warning, not even a corpse, the corpse was left empty in the store, lonely, cold.

There was no more old lady holding his hand and giving him flower cakes to eat, no more......

Lu Ming slowly stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, the familiar and unfamiliar face came into view, the old lady's hands were weathered, covered with calluses, and there was a fragrance of flowers.

"Grandma, you are good to go", Lu Ming said and tears flowed down, he didn't know why he was crying, obviously the most sad moment had passed, and Mrs. Zheng didn't leave too many feelings in his memory.

But so, this sudden and unforeseen tide of sorrow crushed him like the tide of the sea.

"You're back," a hoarse voice came from the tavern door.

It's still the same man, a law enforcement officer with a Chinese character face and a beard, and a few buns wrapped in paper bags on his mobile phone.

"Let's eat something", the man handed over a bun and squatted down beside Lu Ming.

Lu Ming didn't speak, wiped away his tears, and covered the white cloth again.

"I'm sorry, I can't save your grandfather, it's already dead, your grandfather is the murderer", the man was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"I'm sorry", the man spat out a few pale words, his brows furrowed.

Lu Ming ignored him, didn't even look up at him, and carried the body of Mrs. Zheng back to the tavern, and the man wanted to help, but was also pushed away by Lu Ming.

"You didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to blame yourself", Lu Ming closed the door, and a cold voice came from the crack in the door and reached the man's ears.

The man smiled bitterly, as if laughing at himself, and muttered to himself, "I didn't do anything wrong, I clearly didn't do anything, I can't even find out who the real culprit is." ”
