Lord Pluto: Ghost messengers catch ghosts in the human world every day

"Those two people are missing, we can only go to the Duke Hu to see now." Song Ting said solemnly: "I hope we will go this trip to prove his innocence."

The group left Zou Lin's place and returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Song Ting stood still and stared at this splendid mansion, which actually showed the majestic appearance of Duke Protector when he was young.

After all, Duke Protector was just an ordinary village hunter back then. It took him a lot of effort to grow from a fledgling boy to the famous person he is today. This mansion is not only a place to live but also a display of his strength.

Song Ting followed them into the mansion.

Xue Yao led them to a small attic with heavy guards.

As soon as they set foot on a trail, someone stopped them.

A guard put the sword in his hand horizontally in front of them: "My lord, I'm afraid these people can't go in without being summoned."

"What? Can't I go in even if I brought someone here?" Xue Yao looked at the guard with a cold look in his eyes: "You let us in first, and I will explain to my own father."

"This..." The guard hesitated for a while, and finally moved out of the way: "You guys don't want to make noise after entering, we adults like to be quiet."

Several people followed Xue Yao to the front. The place where Lord Huguo lived was on a high ground. Song Ting followed Xue Yao to that room.

This room seems to be old, the soil on the wall has fallen off, the wall is spotted all over, and it looks very dilapidated.

There were still people guarding the door, he looked at Xue Yao and said with a smile: "My lord, you are..."

He looked straight at the people behind Xue Yao.

Xue Yao: "These are my friends. I came to them because I have something important to say to my father."

After saying this, he took a few steps forward, and the guards guarding here didn't dare to stop them, and let them in directly.

They followed Xue Yao all the way into the room unimpeded.

The room is very simple, but the arrangement of things inside reveals a kind of Zen.

There are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, and an incense burner is placed on the table. The smoke is curling up, and the smell is a deep sandalwood fragrance.

Several people followed Xue Yao into the room.

Song Ting saw a man kneeling in front of a small Buddha statue in this room.

The man had gray hair and a stalwart figure, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue very piously.

Hearing that voice, he slowly turned his head to meet the group of them. He was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Xue Yao:

"Yao'er, what's the matter with you?"

Normally, Xue Yao would not come here to disturb Duke Hu when he was fine. He knew that Duke Hu had stayed in this small attic all these years, not only because he liked to be quiet when he was old, but also to pray for his wife.

"We've been investigating the case recently. A few days ago, the housekeeper in Master Zou's house was killed. We went to investigate. Now we have some clues about the people behind the scenes in the capital."

"Oh?" Duke Huguo paused while spinning the prayer beads: "Then what do you know?"

Xue Yao told Duke Hu Guo the ins and outs of these things as early as when he accepted this task.

So the Protector knows what they do these days.

"Master Zou is with the people behind the scenes." Song Ting said slowly.

After he finished speaking, he carefully stared at the expression on Duke Protector's face, trying to see something from his face.

However, after hearing this sentence, the Lord Protector looked as usual, and just sighed in a tone: "I really didn't expect that. I have seen that Zou Lin before. He is indeed a rare talent. It's a pity that he followed the wrong person and didn't take it seriously." His ingenuity was put to good use."

"It's a pity. Now that these two people have escaped, we don't know where they went." Song Ting said, "Does the Protector know where they went?"

In fact, he didn't want to ask the Lord Protector like this, because the Lord Protector always gave him the feeling that he was an amiable elder.

But now the most suspicious person is the protector of the country, they must ask these things clearly.

And it's not easy for the Duke Protector and the others to investigate openly.

The Protector now understood why they came here, and he asked back, "Are you doubting me?"

"No, we just want to find out about this matter and return my father's innocence." Xue Yao said this very seriously.

"Why do you doubt me?" Duke Protector smiled, staring at them with no expression of joy or anger.

"I was caught by Zou Lin and his accomplices. They thought I was unconscious, so they said something about the people behind the scenes in front of me."

Song Ting felt that Duke Hu looked at them with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts in people's hearts, he said:

"And the things he said, you are the most suitable."

"Just because he said a few words, you doubt me?" The Lord Protector seemed unbelievable: "What if this is a game they set up? Didn't you say it too? This is what they said when they thought you were unconscious Yes, they made it themselves, don't they know when it's used?"

He shook his head: "You are still too young and have too little experience. Tell me, how did they escape?"

"Those two escaped after trapping us with a formation. We searched the mansion for a long time but couldn't find them."

"They ran away after catching you? Isn't that even more strange?" Huguo Gong said: "It is possible that their mission is to confuse you. When the mission is completed, they can retire. Otherwise, how could they Will pass up this great opportunity to wipe you out."

"That's true!" Xu Yu suddenly said, "I said why didn't they take that opportunity to kill us, so their purpose is here!"

"If you are worried, you can check my room again." Huguo said.

Xue Yao closed his eyes: "Then offend, we also hope to maintain father's innocence."

Several people searched the room, and Song Ting found many things that looked like women in the room, which should belong to the late wife of Duke Hu.

Other than that, they didn't find anything strange in this room.

Song Ting was meditating on the spot, turned his eyes inadvertently, and saw a sachet placed in the room. The sachet looked very old, the original bright fabric became gray, and there were two mandarin ducks embroidered on it. The pattern is like some kind of token used to express love.

"I'm bothering my father." Xue Yao said, "Then we'll go back first."

Since nothing strange can be found here, the suspicion of Lord Protector should be temporarily lifted, but this matter is still a bit strange, they can't take it lightly;

Several people started to walk out, Song Ting looked away and followed them out.

Watching them go, Duke Protector stood where he was, staring at their backs and fell into deep thought.

A servant came to tidy up the room, and Duke Protector called her: "Throw this thing away."

He pointed to the sachet on the table.

The servant bowed his head and took the sachet away.

Duke Hu Guo stared at the direction he was leaving, his eyes were dark and indelible.

What is he trying to do?
