When Chen Ao heard this, he was secretly taken aback, and then went to see the elders of the Salt Gang, and sure enough, he found a lot of interesting phenomena. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that Elder Yao, who was in the lead, had a clear and awe-inspiring attitude. But between the looks, there is only seriousness and indifference, neither respect nor love. It can be said that he bowed these three prostrations purely ceremonial and symbolic.

Thinking about it, as an elder whose status is second only to Elder Hong, he must have a very high opinion of himself, and he doesn't even care about the helmsman. An old man like this, Chen Ao knows how powerful.

The few elders behind Elder Yao were also well-behaved, but there was only one person, who always had a faint smile on his face when he worshipped. Chen Ao didn't know why, and thought to himself, what's so ridiculous about you worshipping a dead man?

This person was not very old among the elders, but he was only forty or fifty years old, and he was not very conspicuous, and Chen Ao couldn't call his name yet. But I felt that this person was a little strange, so I paid a little attention. After he finished worshipping, Chen Ao suddenly realized.

It turned out that after the elder finished worshipping, the smile on Mrs. Zheng's face became even brighter when she replied. Not only did he laugh, but he also began to make some small movements in his hands. Taking advantage of Mrs. Zheng's bow, he hurriedly reached out to support Mrs. Zheng's arm and did not let go, and stroked his hand back and forth on Mrs. Zheng's arm.

Chen Ao couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt, and then looked at Mrs. Zheng, his face was full of disgust, but he didn't dare to attack in front of so many people, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. Chen Ao thought to himself, this old man, it turned out to be the idea of someone's widow. People bow to you, and it's not husband and wife worshipping each other, as for laughing like that?

He was quite distressed, and secretly thought, he couldn't imagine that such a scum would be mixed in Lao Tzu's team, what a shame!

The man managed to take advantage of it for a while and retreated to the back. The next to worship are the three gang leaders Chen, Bai, and Qiu. Chen and Bai were nothing special, they bowed respectfully three times, and then retreated to the back, with no joy or anger on their faces.

Chen Ao thought to himself, presumably this dead helmsman, they didn't pay attention to it at all, but it was their own living helmsman, let them grit their teeth!

The last Qiu Wenwu is a little special. I saw him bow respectfully and bow a few times, and stand in front of the grave, with his hands folded and his lips moving, as if praying. After praying, don't forget to bow a few more times.

Chen Ao always felt that if it weren't for so many people present, this Qiu Wenwu would just be afraid that he would kneel down and kowtow. He thought to himself, what the hell is this Qiu Wenwu doing? It wasn't his old son who died, as for being so respectful?

Su Zhuo smiled faintly and said, "Chen Ao, can you see the mystery in it?"

After he reminded him like this, Chen Ao suddenly remembered what Liang Xiaoya told him last night. Liang's father-in-law once got the news that Zheng Wenping, the helmsman of the Salt Gang, had died a strange death. Could it be ......

A thought suddenly popped into his heart, and he couldn't help but startle himself. He whispered, "Master, is it ...... Could it be that the murderer who killed Zheng Wenping is here......"

Su Zhuo stretched out his hand to stop his words, and said with a smile: "Zheng Wenping is in the prime of life, and he is a Shaolin authentic kung fu, not only to strengthen the body, but also to eliminate diseases and disasters, why did he suddenly die? These elders and gang leaders of the Salt Gang are not fools, but they have not started to investigate this strange matter. The mystery of this is not simple! Even if they are not murderers, I am afraid that they have something to do with them!"

Chen Ao gasped and said, "Why don't you arrest them all and interrogate them......"

Su Zhuo said: "It's just speculation now, don't startle the snake!"

Chen Ao also realized that he was impulsive, so he could only press his mind and observe quietly. He had already seen that Su Zhuo reminded him to pay attention to the worship of everyone, which must have a deep meaning. The round of worship just now really showed everyone's faces.

People in this era are still very superstitious, and basically believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world. As the saying goes, the dead are greater. In front of the grave, a person's true nature is often revealed.

Chen Ao thought to himself, the first Elder Yao seemed to be quite majestic, but he obviously didn't have a good impression of Zheng Wenping. And his attitude towards Zheng's mother and son is obviously disgusted. Although I don't know why he had such an attitude, maybe this is his motive for killing.

As for that lustful elder, there is also a motive. That is to covet Mrs. Zheng's appearance and kill people for sex.

And the three gang leaders of Chen, Bai, and Qiu, including Xiong Guang, who is now working as a coolie in the salt factory, all have the same motive. As long as Zheng Wenping is killed, they will have a chance to fight for the position of helmsman. It's a huge benefit, enough to make people want to kill.

These people are the most suspicious now, and Chen Ao keeps them in mind, but he is a little worried, how to track them down? Forced interrogation is definitely not possible, not to mention whether they are hard mouthed or not, in case of arousing the opposition of these bigwigs, it is difficult to say whether he, the helmsman, will continue to do it.

Chen Ao sighed, thinking to himself, this Zheng Wenping has been dead for a month, and the grave has been sealed. I'm afraid that no one will allow the opening of the museum for an autopsy, how can this be good?

He looked at Su Zhuo, his eyes showing an inquiring meaning. Su Zhuo smiled faintly: "Everyone has weaknesses, as long as they take the right medicine, they will definitely be able to show their fox tails!"

Chen Ao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, nodded, and secretly calculated. After the worship was over, they said some innocuous polite words, and then they prepared to go back. The Zheng family mother and son were nervous, for fear that Elder Yao and the others would change their minds again and drive them out, so they simply followed them back to the helm.

The group returned to the "Xianfu" courtyard again. Chen Ao pretended to be casual on the road and asked Elder Yao about the lascivious elder, knowing that his name was Zhang Jingbin, and he was the youngest elder, resourceful, and could be said to be the military advisor of the Salt Gang.

Chen Ao was silent, thinking to himself, "Commander?" Lao Tzu wants to see how powerful you are! In this case, the first one will start with you!

He quietly told Su Zhuo his thoughts and wanted to ask for Su Zhuo's opinion. Su Zhuo just smiled and said, "This kind of thing, you young people just go to make trouble, I don't get involved!"

Chen Ao didn't plan to let Su Zhuo do this kind of thing, so he agreed, and began to think about the specific details.

When I got back to my accommodation, it was noon. Elder Yao ordered people to prepare food and drinks, which was regarded as a celebration for Chen Ao. During the banquet, everyone was very happy. However, Chen Ao shuddered when he knew that one of them was a murderer. A good meal, I don't have the heart to drink it at all.

Finally got to Xi San, and he was about to ask Mrs. Zheng about the secret of the six realms of reincarnation. But in order to show their loyalty, several elders and altar masters everywhere took the initiative to report their work, which made Chen Ao have to listen to their ramblings patiently. These people are nothing more than boasting about their exploits. Or belittle the contributions of others and indirectly elevate yourself. Chen Ao is not unfamiliar with these methods, and they sound very boring.

Finally, by the time they finished reporting, it was already dark. Of course, Chen Ao would not be like that Jingbin, who liked to knock on the widow's door at night. Therefore, the matter of asking for secrets had to be put on hold.

He ate dinner depressedly, walked out of the room, and happened to see Zhang Jingbin's thin figure flashing from the garden, as if he was heading towards the West Chamber. It was where Mrs. Zheng and other ladies stayed.

Chen Ao thought to himself, just thinking of you, you are here! Tonight is a good opportunity to test you!
