Chapter 825 - 825 News
“I… If I tell you, will you really save me?” The little beggar asked softly.
“It depends on what you’re talking about.” Gu Chengrui replied.
The little beggar hesitated for a moment. Then, she leaned over and whispered, “M-my sister found out that our master is wearing a mask. He is a fake.”
“Oh, is there more?” Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment after hearing that. He did not know if she was telling the truth, so he still did not intend to relent. “Is this not enough to punish him?”
“This matter is too big. Only the Emperor and the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs can handle it.
“Tell me if there are any other discoveries. If there are, we can suppress him from other directions.”
“I, my sister also heard them mention something about Lion Camel Ridge, Jigong Mountain, and so on. I didn’t hear anything else clearly.
“Oh right, it seems that his superior came. They will arrive in the next two days.”
“Anything else?”
“Does my young master being imprisoned count?”
“Imprisonment? Do you know why?”
“I’m not sure. I only heard that more than ten years ago, Young Master had a big fight with Old Master, and Young Master’s leg was broken by Old Master.
“From then on, Young Master was imprisoned in a side courtyard. There were people guarding him, but he never came out again.”
After Gu Chengrui heard that, he could not tell if she was sent to test him or if she really came to ask for help.
You could say that she didn’t know anything, but everything she said was right on the dot.
But if you said she knew everything, you needed to send someone to verify it. If it were a trap, it would be troublesome.
“Is there anything on Lion Camel Ridge and Jigong Mountain?” he asked. “Is your master colluding with bandits?”
“I, I’m not really sure.”
Gu Chengrui saw that he could not get anything more out of her. He told Lin
Yifan, “Find a place to settle her down. Remember to be careful.”
“Yes.” Lin Yifan nodded and brought her out quietly.
After a while, he returned and said, “My Lord, the arrangements have been made. I also found someone to help keep an eye on her.”
“Where did you arranged her?”
“She’s now the servant girl who keeps the fire lit in the casino. Moreover, it’s the Fang family’s casino. She should be safe. Let her stay there for two days.” “You sure know how to find a place. Keep an eye on her. First, see if she’s real or fake. Then, you can make a plan.”
“Yes.”
“The exam will start tomorrow. Go to Hongyun Restaurant and borrow some manpower. Keep an eye on them. Don’t make any mistakes.”
“Yes.”
After Gu Chengrui rested at night, Zhou Ying contacted him through the interspace. “How’s it going on your end? Is everything going well? Can you enter the interspace?”
“I’m afraid I have something on tonight. I can’t go.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he did not wait for her to ask. Instead, he told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
“So, just in case, I won’t go in.”
“Alright, then go to bed early. I’m going to watch a show.”
“Remember to tell me if you see anything.”
“Don’t worry.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she first found the servant girl in the casino.
Seeing that she was obediently boiling water, she sized up the entire casino.
Not only was it quite lively at night, but there were also many gamblers. However, she only brushed these aside and finally found the manager of the casino.
It was a man in his forties with a scar on his face. He looked fierce and scary.
At this moment, he was preparing chips to loan money with a group of thugs.
Zhou Ying glanced at it. The person who owed it was Qin Jiu, the scarface himself. There was no information about anyone else.
After that, she waited for a while longer.. Soon, someone approached them and asked, “How is it? Qin Jiu, have you heard anything about that servant girl?”
