Chapter 1801
He went to inquire about it and found that the old gentleman's body was not here at this time.
"Let's go." Jiang Chao called Lin Junya and others.
Just as the two were about to go out, they met Master Qinghua.
Master Qinghua's eyes were red and swollen, his face was haggard, and his steps were staggering.
"My condolences, Master." Jiang Chao greeted him and said consolingly.
Master Qinghua lamented, "I'm going to get some relics for the teacher. Mr. Jiang might as well go to Liuyuan for a walk when he has time. The teacher left a chessboard there for Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, he entered the courtyard.
Jiang came out towards the four people.
"Brother, why is it so sudden?" Jiang Siying cried until her eyes almost swelled into peaches.
The old gentleman was like an elder to all Daxia citizens. Now he passed away suddenly and was assassinated. This was something Jiang Siying couldn't accept at all.
"Get in the car first." Jiang Chao shook his head slightly.
The four of them silently opened the door and got into the car.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Jiang Siying asked.
"Go to Liuyuan." Jiang Chao said.
Jiang Siying hummed and started the car.
Liuyuan is also an ancient garden, but it is not very famous in the capital, and its location is relatively remote.
The car drove for more than an hour, and the four of them arrived in front of a house with white walls and black tiles.
There was only an old man in his eighties at the door, sitting on a small bench and reading a book.
Presumably the old gentleman's bad news did not reach here. The garden was quiet, and there were not many lights on. There were only a few sparse lights, making it look very quiet.
Jiang Chao stepped forward and explained his purpose.
Hearing that Master Qinghua had called him to get the chessboard, the old man got up and led the four people inside.
"Few of you young people like to play chess." The old man said a little naggingly on the way.
"Yes, they are all quite impetuous." Jiang Chao also responded patiently.
Soon, several people arrived at the door of a room.
The old man opened the door, fumbled for a while, and turned on the light.
"The chessboard is right there. You guys sit down first and I'll bring you some tea and snacks." The old man said, then turned and left.
"Thank you." Jiang Chao did not refuse and led Lin Junya and the others into the room.
Sure enough, there was a chessboard placed on the table. The entire chessboard was made of brass. It looked extremely exquisite in craftsmanship, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
There are already black and white moves on the chessboard, and it is a half-played endgame.
"Xiaoya, shall we continue?" Jiang Chao sat down.
"Okay." Lin Junya nodded and sat down opposite.
Jiang Chao is in charge of black and Lin Junya is in charge of white.
Jiang Siying and Baoer didn't know much about Go, so they could only watch the fun.
But by this time, Jiang Siying had already noticed something strange.
The old gentleman was assassinated. Such a big thing happened, but her brother was still interested in sitting here and playing chess. There must be something hidden in this.
Thinking of this, she was no longer anxious.
When the old man brought tea and snacks, Jiang Siying hurriedly took them and followed Baoer to eat snacks and drink tea.
About half an hour later, there was a faint sound of footsteps at the door.
