Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1298
Chapter 1298 The Truth Surfaced
The moon was in the sky, and the night was already deep.
Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor is heavily guarded, especially where East Emperor Linyi lives and the banquet hall at the scene of East Emperor Linyi’s assassination.
These two places were all heavily guarded, basically ensuring that not a single mosquito could fly in.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng was already a peak expert of the Divine Sense Realm. If he wanted to enter Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor, he would immediately enter with a teleportation technique. No one could stop him.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Jiang Feng did not inform Dong Huangyue and the others. He directly used the Great Shift Technique in the bedroom of the Wind Law Academy. By the next moment, Jiang Feng had already arrived at the banquet hall in Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor.
Although there were many guards with sabers standing outside the banquet hall, there was no one in the banquet hall. Although the entire banquet hall was pitch black to the point that nothing could be seen, this did not affect Jiang Feng’s investigation, because Jiang Feng was using his divine sense to explore.
After Jiang Feng spread out his divine sense, he began to search the banquet hall. There were three main questions in his heart.
First, how did the dagger pierce through East Emperor Linyi’s abdomen? At that time, Jiang Feng was standing not far from East Emperor Linyi. Just what kind of expert could fly out a dagger and shoot it into East Emperor Linyi’s abdomen, and Jiang Feng could not hear a single movement? This was what Jiang Feng was most puzzled about.
Second, was East Emperor Linyi’s poison carried on the dagger, or was it poisoned in the wine? Normally speaking, the poison on the weapon, no matter how fierce the poison was, with the cultivation of Eastern Emperor Lin Yi, he should be able to use the divine power in his body to suppress it in time. How could he lose all resistance with just a single poison?
Thirdly, what was the purpose of the assassin of East Emperor Linyi? Jiang Feng didn’t quite understand this point. Previously, he had suspected that the person who had plotted against East Emperor Linyi was one of East Emperor Qian, East Emperor Bing, or East Emperor Kun.
However, Jiang Feng later felt that his suspicions were somewhat unreasonable. After all, judging from the strength the three of them had displayed, the three of them were basically on par with each other in terms of strength. Even if one of them plotted against East Emperor Linyi and killed East Emperor Linyi, this person might not have absolute confidence in suppressing East Emperor Bing and East Emperor Kun and ascending to the Junior Priestess position.
Jiang Feng carefully searched the entire banquet hall with these three questions in his heart. He first found the wine glass and wine jug that East Emperor Linyi had drunk.
Jiang Feng opened the wine jug and sniffed. The wine was clear and mellow, not like it was poisonous at all. Jiang Feng thought for a moment before picking up the wine jug and taking a sip. After swallowing the wine, he silently waited for a moment.
In the end, Jiang Feng confirmed that the wine was not poisonous!
Before East Emperor Linyi poisoned his hair, this wine was the only thing he had ingested. If the wine wasn’t poisoned, then the only thing that poisoned him would be the poison quenched from the dagger.
What kind of poison was it? The poison was actually so fierce.
Jiang Feng put the wine jug back in place and stood up. Just as he was about to use the Great Shift technique to take a look at East Emperor Linyi’s current situation, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped …
Jiang Feng slowly turned around in front of the main entrance of the banquet hall. His entire gaze was locked onto the chair where East Emperor Linyi sat.
Jiang Feng looked at the chair and thought back to the scene of East Emperor Linyi leaning against the back of the chair after issuing the ban on gambling.
Jiang Feng walked to the seat and gathered his divine sense. His divine sense swept across the seat inch by inch.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng’s divine sense condensed. When he swept his divine sense to the center of the chair, he discovered that there was actually a tiny hole in the back of the chair.
This tiny hole was slightly thicker than a cow’s hair, and if one looked at it with the naked eye, it would be easy to ignore it. Fortunately, Jiang Feng’s divine sense was sharp, and he was prepared to capture this tiny hole.
Jiang Feng first pulled out a strand of hair from his head and stuck it into the tiny hole. In the end, Jiang Feng came to the conclusion that the hole was about five millimeters deep.
Jiang Feng fancied that there was a poisonous needle inserted into the tiny hole. When East Emperor Linyi was leaning back in his chair, the poisonous needle just happened to pierce East Emperor Linyi’s back.
Perhaps it was because the poison needle was too small, or perhaps it was because the poison on the poison needle had a paralyzing effect. Therefore, East Emperor Linyi did not notice that his body had been inserted with a poisonous needle, so he was caught off guard and poisoned.
At this moment, a person reacted very quickly. He rushed out of the crowd and hugged East Emperor Linyi first.
At this moment, East Emperor Linyi was already poisoned, so the man who rushed up from the crowd stabbed a poisoned dagger into East Emperor Linyi’s abdomen.
Jiang Feng tried his best to recall. He had the ability to never forget. Therefore, Jiang Feng, who was the first person to rush to East Emperor Linyi that night, only needed to recall a few memories to recall it.
However, Jiang Feng did not know who that person was. He could only try his best to memorize his appearance, and after returning to Seven Jades Institute, the painting was recognized by East Emperor Jue.
The clues left behind in the banquet hall had basically explained the doubts in Jiang Feng’s heart. There was no point in staying in this banquet hall any longer. What Jiang Feng needed to do was to verify East Emperor Linyi’s injuries and prove that his guess was correct.
When Jiang Feng thought of this, his divine sense immediately spread out. Very quickly, Jiang Feng confirmed East Emperor Linyi’s location. With a thought, he immediately appeared in East Emperor Linyi’s bedroom.
Outside East Emperor Linyi’s bedroom sat two doctors and eight guards with sabers.
Jiang Feng waved his hand after arriving at East Emperor Linyi’s bedroom. Very quickly, the two doctors and the eight saber-wielding guards fell into a coma.
After doing all of this, Jiang Feng arrived next to the bed where East Emperor Linyi was sleeping. At this moment, East Emperor Linyi’s eyes were tightly closed, his lips were jet black, and his face was a little terrifyingly pale.
Jiang Feng flipped East Emperor Linyi’s body over first. He opened East Emperor Linyi’s clothes and looked carefully. It didn’t take long for Jiang Feng to find a small black dot. He used his divine sense to carefully sense that there was clearly something inside the black dot.
Jiang Feng’s divine sense condensed, and the power of his divine sense penetrated into East Emperor Linyi’s body.
Along with Jiang Feng’s divine sense penetrating into East Emperor Linyi’s body, Jiang Feng knew exactly this time that there was indeed a tiny poisonous needle inside the black dot.
Jiang Feng used his divine sense to wrap around the poisonous needle. Immediately after, Jiang Feng’s divine sense moved and the poisonous needle was instantly pulled out by Jiang Feng.
As the poison needle left East Emperor Linyi’s body, Jiang Feng picked up a small medicine bottle and put it in it.
Immediately after, Jiang Feng began to use an anode needle on East Emperor Linyi, causing him to vomit more than a mouthful of black blood. Jiang Feng waited until East Emperor Linyi’s blood had turned from black to red before quietly leaving East Emperor Linyi’s bedroom.
According to Jiang Feng’s estimation, Dong Huanglin would wake up in two or three days. After a busy night, Jiang Feng decided to rest for a while. However, at this moment, Wang Xiaogua’s voice came from the courtyard of the Wind Law Academy, “Brother Jiang Feng, Guild Leader Bai and the others are here.”
Jiang Feng was puzzled when he heard Wang Xiaogua’s words in his bedroom. Logically speaking, Bai Fengxiao and the others shouldn’t have come so quickly.
Jiang Feng walked out of the bedroom and stood beside the railing on the third floor. He looked into the courtyard. As expected, Bai Fengxiao and Wang Xiaogua were standing together.
When Bai Fengxiao saw Jiang Feng, he smiled and waved to Jiang Feng, “Long time no see, brother Jiang Feng.”
Jiang Feng smiled after confirming that it was Bai Feng. He directly jumped over the railing and jumped down from the third floor. After landing, Jiang Feng came to Bai Fengxiao and said, “Guild Leader Bai, I haven’t seen you for a few days.”
“Brother Jiang Feng, you’re too polite. I heard that Brother Jiang Feng is already the supervisor of the Gambling Control Department. In the future, I’ll have to rely on Brother Jiang Feng to help me. I’ll have to ask Brother Jiang Feng to forgive me for offending you in the past.”
“Guild Leader Bai, since you’ve already arrived, let’s discuss our next plan.”
“Brother Jiang Feng, since I, Bai Fengxiao, am here, I will naturally listen to you. In short, I will follow your orders no matter what arrangements you make.”
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded. Then, he extended his hand to Bai Fengxiao and made a “please” gesture.
The next morning, at dawn. The streets and alleys of Yilong City had been filled with the specific terms of the ban on gambling since an unknown time. Due to the large number of terms, the font was very small.
Many people walked away before they could even finish reading the official’s words.
Nothing happened during the day. At night, Jiang Feng took the list that Wang Xiaoshun had compiled and began to sweep the arena one by one.
First of all, the first was Yilong City’s west side, the Ma Clan’s Stronghold’s “Rich Now” casino.
Gambling was usually the most lively thing at night, and at this moment, the “Rich Now” casino was bustling with people. The youngsters in the Ma Clan Stronghold were basically gathered in this casino. Forty percent of them were gambling, and the remaining sixty percent were watching the show.
On the second floor of the casino stood a group of people. Among these people were experts in gambling. The main purpose of standing on the second floor was to see if any of them were cheating. In addition, Ma Dafa, the owner of the casino, and a few of his subordinates were able to watch the show.
One of the spectators standing beside Ma Dafa whispered to Ma Dafa, “Big brother, it looks like business is good tonight. Are you guys going to send a few out to guard the village?”
“Guard? What are you doing guarding?” Ma Dafa asked in confusion.
“A ban on gambling!” “Big brother, you still don’t know, do you? The Shaosi Prefecture has issued a ban on gambling, saying that they want to ban gambling completely.”
“Fuck the ban on gambling. This is the Ma Clan’s stronghold. We surnamed Ma gamble as much as we like. Even if Lord Junior Priestess personally comes, she won’t be able to take care of us. Let the brothers relax. We’ll definitely be fine.”
“Yes, Big Brother, I can rest assured if you say that.”
Just as the spectators finished speaking, a young man suddenly rushed into the casino with a big box in his hand.
Perhaps the young man ran too fast and fell to the ground after entering the casino. The big box in his hand suddenly scattered, and a full box of divine song coins fell out …
