"What? The hall master was beaten to death! Cough cough cough cough cough!"
Chen Che let out an exclamation, followed by a violent cough that turned his face pale.
It was obvious that he was very surprised.
"Yes, the body is parked in the yard now!"
Du Peng's tone was complicated.
Wang Zhen next to him was stunned for a while.
Xu Feng was beaten to death last night?
Thinking back to Chen Che telling him last night that he had never seen Xu Feng, he suddenly realized something...
"What a fool!"
Wang Zhen blurted out.
His words of shame came from his heart, but it was different in Du Peng's eyes.
"Haha, this Wang Zhen usually seems to be straight-tempered, but I didn't expect that he has learned to pretend."
Du Peng felt quite disdainful.
Who among the old men in the hall doesn’t know about the incident between Wang Zhen and the hall master?
Logically speaking, Wang Zhen should be eager for Xu Feng to die.
In fact, let alone Wang Zhen, most people in the hall, including him, wished Xu Feng would die.
Although many people are howling around Xu Feng's body, they are probably thinking about which table to sit at after the banquet begins.
"Take me in and have a look!"
Chen Che said with a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing this, Du Peng quickly pretended to be sad and angry, and introduced Chen Che and Wang Zhen into the hall.
…
Inside the hall, Xu Feng's body was parked in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by a group of Sirius Gang members, including Zhao Tong.
"Do you know who killed Hall Master Xu?"
As soon as Chen Che entered the hall, he asked loudly.
When everyone saw him coming, it was as if they saw his backbone, and they all came closer.
Zhao Tong in the crowd shook his head: "I don't know...but the gang leader will be here soon."
Hearing this, Chen Che nodded slightly, and then stood next to Xu Feng's body with a heavy expression like everyone else.
Looking at Xu Feng's body, his heart actually didn't waver much.
Ever since he learned about his uncle, he had put Xu Feng on his must-kill list.
Originally, he was thinking of dealing with Xu Feng when he left Stone Fire City one day, but he didn't expect that he jumped out by himself last night, so he couldn't blame anyone.
…
After a while.
Feng Dachuan hurried to Langya Hall with a few people.
Looking at Xu Feng's body, Feng Dachuan's face turned pale.
Last night, he told everyone in the Sirius Gang not to cause trouble, but the result was good, others directly caused trouble for him.
You must know that Xu Feng is not only the leader of Langya Hall, but also his adopted son!
Now that he was beaten to death like this, where would he put his face?
Feng Dachuan walked quickly to Xu Feng's body with anger.
After examining the body, he quickly imagined the scene at that time.
"The murderer made a sneak attack on the back, severely injuring Xu Feng directly through his inner armor. Xu Feng reacted and turned around to fight back. After exchanging a palm with the murderer, his arm was broken again.
Then the murderer directly broke Xu Feng's neck..."
"call……"
Feng Dachuan exhaled a breath of thick air.
Xu Feng has been in the Copper Skin Realm for several years, and he is not considered a weakling in the Copper Skin Realm.
Based on this calculation, the murderer's strength should be between the peak of the Bronze Skin Realm and the Iron Bone Realm.
In other words, the murderer is either a warrior who is about to enter the Iron Bone Realm, or a warrior who has just entered the Iron Bone Realm.
There are only so many warriors of this level in Stone Fire City.
"Hu Cai, do you know who Xu Feng spends time with on weekdays?"
Feng Dachuan turned and looked at a middle-aged man with a mustache behind him.
Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache immediately took out a list from his arms.
"Gang Leader, I made a list after I learned about this. Please take a look..."
After hearing this, Feng Dachuan took the list and looked at it. There were more than a dozen people listed on it, and finally he focused on the first person's name.
"There's at least a 60 to 70 percent chance it's him!"
"Black Tiger Gang Luo Xiong!"
Feng Dachuan gritted his teeth.
This Black Tiger Gang Luo Xiong just entered the Iron Bone Realm a few months ago, and his strength is consistent with that of the murderer.
In addition, Luo Xiong did have some issues with Xu Feng before he entered the Iron Bone Realm.
"Zhao Tong, you are responsible for taking care of Xu Feng's funeral!"
Feng Dachuan turned around and left after saying a few words.
The most important thing for people in Jianghu is face.
It doesn't matter whether the murderer is really Luo Xiong. What matters is that he must let everyone see that the Tianlang Gang is not someone to be trifled with.
…
After Feng Dachuan left, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Seeing Du Peng opening his mouth and preparing to howl again, Zhao Tong said with a look of disgust: "That's enough, stop pretending."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became embarrassed.
Zhao Tong smiled and looked at Chen Che in the crowd.
"Brother Chen, please follow me into the entrance of the hall to see if the hall master has left any relics, so that you can hand over the signature papers later."
Chen Che's heart moved when he heard this, and then he said with a serious face: "Okay."
So the two of them entered the hall under the watch of everyone.
As the master of the hall, Xu Feng has an exclusive suite at the entrance of the hall. In the past, others could not enter at all.
Now that he is dead, the apartment must be cleaned up.
Zhao Tingtong cleaned it up, which is somewhat unjustifiable.
And by bringing Chen Che together, we can supervise each other.
At least that's what it seems.
…
After the two came to the door of the suite, Zhao Tong pulled off the lock directly, and then showed a meaningful smile to Chen Che.
"Brother Chen, you may not know that Hall Master Xu loved to flirt with women during his lifetime, so his relationship with his wife was not very good...
On weekdays, although he is rarely at the entrance of the hall during the day, he basically comes here to sleep at night."
"this……"
Chen Che couldn't understand the meaning of Zhao Tong's words, but he was a reserved person after all, and he was embarrassed to say some things.
After entering the suite, the two began to rummage, and it didn't take long before they found a locked wooden box under Xu Feng's bed.
This kind of lock is just a decoration for a warrior. Zhao Tong used his old trick and pulled the lock open with just one pull.
Then he opened the box in front of Chen Che.
The first thing that caught the eye was a set of stacked night clothes. Next to the night clothes were several banknotes and several kilograms of dried meat wrapped in cloth.
"Four fifty-tael banknotes, totaling two hundred taels."
After counting, Zhao Tong stuffed a fifty-tael silver note into Chen Che's collar, and then took a fifty-tael silver note himself.
"Brother Chen, Hall Master Xu's wife comes from a big family and doesn't need this little money, so I just need to give her fifty taels to explain.
As for the remaining fifty taels... let's keep them for Hall Master Xu to do something grand, after all, the brothers are still waiting for a feast."
Zhao Tong didn't even mention the one hundred taels that had been divided.
"Ah...this...Brother Zhao, is there anything wrong with doing this?"
As Chen Che said this, he stuffed the unstuffed fifty taels of silver notes into his arms.
"Hey, what's wrong? I know Brother Chen that you are kind and righteous, but in today's world... there are not many opportunities like this."
Zhao Tong said as he took out the night clothes from the box and put them aside.
Sure enough, there were still things placed under the night clothes, including two secret books and a short sword with an ornate scabbard.
