Chapter 796: Old Chaofeng died

Watching the August 15th set by Zhang Daohe getting closer and closer, Chen Guanlou was not in a hurry at all.

He already had the Xiao Changsheng Dao Fruit.

He was not greedy.

The opportunity Zhang Daohe mentioned, whether he got it or not, was not important to him at all.

In his eyes, all the opportunities in the world added together were not as good as his Xiao Changsheng Dao Fruit.

Anyway, sooner or later he would step into the Grandmaster realm.

Unlike people in the world, whose lifespan is limited, they have to seize the time to step into the Grandmaster realm one day earlier in their limited lifespan, strive to prolong life, and be a person above others.

At most, just go to join the fun.

If he couldn't catch up, it wouldn't be a pity if he didn't join the fun.

A mere hundred years, he could afford to wait.

He was not in a hurry, there were plenty of people in a hurry.

The matter of the Great Yu early ancient tomb had basically spread throughout the entire Wu Lin Jianghu. Not to mention the seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks acting one after another, wanting to snatch the opportunity. Even the second and third rank small shrimps all joined in, coming with a crowd, saying maybe they could fish in troubled waters.

The limited Grandmasters in the world, it seemed they had no movement. That was because Grandmasters didn't come out to move. I guess, when August 15th arrives, all the Grandmasters in the world will gather together, that scene, must be filled with human lives.

How many people will die!

Zhang Daohe played such a big game of chess, can he hold it? Did he overestimate his own strength, overestimate the Bai Lian Sect's strength, and underestimate the strength of the Jianghu heroes?

Overestimating oneself and underestimating others will lead to big losses.

He really wanted to complain to the other party face to face, "Look at you, now you're dead!"

It was a pity he couldn't find anyone.

No one knows how to hide better than the Bai Lian Sect bandits.

Just when he was pondering whether to contact the old man Wu Xun, the old Chaofeng who lived in the gambling house died, and the two beautiful maids who served him closely didn't escape, falling in a pool of blood.

Who did it?

Revenge?

The boss behind the scenes killed the donkey?

Someone settled accounts after autumn?

Or is it the most impossible possibility: an accident happened and was affected.

Dealing with the old Chaofeng for many years, now that the person is dead, he has to go and see it for reason and emotion.

Arriving at the gambling house, the gambling house was indeed closed, looking withered and defeated.

A spirit shed was set up in the backyard, and he went to burn a stick of incense.

"Why set up a spirit shed in the backyard of the gambling house, instead of in the old Chaofeng's home?"

"As a eunuch, what kind of home is there. Wherever you work, that is home." A little yellow gate explained softly.

Chen Guanlou frowned, "I thought the old Chaofeng had long ago left the palace."

"Once a eunuch, always a eunuch. As long as the palace needs it, even if there is only one breath left, you have to sell your life for the palace."

"Has the death of the old Chaofeng been investigated clearly?" He asked the little yellow gate.

The little yellow gate shook his head, "When I came to open the door in the morning, the person was already dead. The guards on duty that night also had their throats cut, not a single living mouth."

"Seeking revenge?"

"Not clear!"

"Those gamblers, no one saw the murderer?"

"Coincidentally, on the night of the accident, the gambling house was balancing accounts, inside and outside were isolated, and the door was closed early. No one saw the murderer enter or leave. Hey... it's all fate!" The little yellow gate said while burning paper. Suddenly, a sense of fate came rushing.

Chen Guanlou bowed, and decisively left the spirit shed.

Halfway, a maid blocked the way.

"I have seen you. You used to serve by the old Chaofeng's side, later you disappeared."

"Age is growing, there are other errands. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, the old Chaofeng left a few words for you, I don't know if you have time?"

"Words left for me. Isn't it said that the old Chaofeng died very suddenly?"

"A few days before the old Chaofeng died, he seemed to have a premonition, and called me to the front, and explained. Among them, a few words were brought to you specifically. The old Chaofeng said, after he died, if you come to worship, give this small wooden box to you. If you didn't come to worship, treat it as if nothing happened."

Chen Guanlou received the small wooden box from the other party, a flat wooden box, inside should be paper documents and the like.

"I think with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's ability, opening the wooden box is not a problem. I won't look for the key."

"What is inside the wooden box?" He was very curious, why the old Chaofeng had this explanation.

The maid shook her head, "The slave doesn't know. The old Chaofeng said, these years, you have been investigating a person surnamed Qi. This wooden box, maybe it can help you."

"Did he really say that?"

"The slave doesn't dare to hide. The old Chaofeng did say so."

Chen Guanlou was very excited.

He had been chasing the human trafficker boss Qi for so many years, and had never found the other party's trace, and even the real identity hadn't been figured out until now.

Never expected that the old Chaofeng actually hid such a hand, and only handed it to him when he was dying.

He stroked the wooden box, "Thank you girl! If you have any difficulties, just say it, I will definitely not be stingy if I can help."

"Thank you Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. The slave has her own place to go! For the sake of the old Chaofeng, just ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen not to make things difficult for us in the future. Small business is not easy."

Chen Guanlou's mouth twitched, the gambling house is also embarrassed to call itself small business, who else in the world dares to call themselves big business.

"Girl is polite. This official is only responsible for guarding prisoners, not responsible for investigating cases. As long as you don't provoke me, I guarantee not to step in. Goodbye!"

"The slave respectfully sends Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."

Chen Guanlou couldn't wait to return home, almost burning incense and bathing.

Washed his hands, pinched the lock, twisted it gently, and turned into ash.

Opened the wooden box, inside really lay a thin piece of high-quality rice paper, but only wrote one word, "Jing!"

What does it mean?

People in the capital?

People are natives of the capital?

People are capital officials?

Famous figures in the capital?

No head or tail, how should he start investigating.

Most hate riddle people! Before the old Chaofeng died, he didn't make things clear, he had to play their set of riddles.

It seems that he needs to go to the gambling house again to ask the maid.

He returned, and the maid was not surprised.

Tea and snacks were prepared early.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please sit."

"You expected I would come back."

"Dared to guess, didn't expect to guess right. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has any questions, can ask me. I will answer what I can answer directly to you. If I can't answer, the whole gambling house should not find a second person who knows the old Chaofeng better than me."

"How to address the girl?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen calls me Hongxiu."

"Girl Hongxiu, may I ask, what does Jing represent?"

"Please let Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen show me the note."

Chen Guanlou didn't refuse, and decisively handed over the note in the box, "Please look! I don't understand the meaning, hope Girl Hongxiu will solve the puzzle for me."

Girl Hongxiu unfolded the note and looked at it, directly saying the answer, "This Jing, means capital official."

"Capital official? Are you sure?"

"I can guarantee with my head. In our place, the same word has different ways of writing and solving. This word, elsewhere is ordinary Jing. In our place, it represents capital official. If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen still wants to know more content, forgive me for being powerless! What I know is only so much." ===== CHAPTER 797 =====
