0336 Sneak into the mansion
Pippen is rich and ostentatious, so he holds grand events like gambling conventions in the city, that is, he does not hesitate to invite everyone to play with him. However, these are not important. The purpose of Guan Heng's coming tonight is to
As Gray, win their family's ancestral solid gold crest.
In addition, I didn't expect that Jacques was quite good at taking advantage of people. Guan Heng suddenly smiled: He actually entrusted me to investigate other matters related to Pippen.
A force is often active in the territory of the East County of Kauru Kingdom. This organization is notorious for hiring killers to rob ordinary people, and is known as the Poison Wolf.
There have been rumors from the outside world that the Poison Wolf Organization has colluded with some local nobles in East County. Because they received information and secret protection from these nobles, the army of the Kingdom of Kauru has been unable to destroy them. However, these are just rumors.
There has been no official evidence.
Therefore, someone assigned the task of investigating Poison Wolf's inside story to the intelligence organization Black Feather Crow, and this time, the target of Black Feather Crow's investigation has been vaguely pointed at a certain lord in East County, who is the father of Master Pippin.
In the past few days since Pippin arrived in Digong City, the people from Black Feather Crow have been secretly monitoring him. However, in this small place, there are not many experts who can sneak up to Master Pippin and conduct an in-depth investigation.
But the appearance of Guan Heng gave Jacques, the person in charge of the Black Feather Crow stronghold, an opportunity. Jacques asked Guan Heng to conduct an investigation on Mr. Pippin and the people around him at this gambling conference. Anyway, he did it easily.
, there was no need to take too much risk, so Guan Heng readily agreed.
At this moment, the gate of the mansion was already full of attendants, welcoming the guests who were attending the high-stakes gambling conference. Everyone was full of excitement and gearing up, preparing to kill everyone tonight and have a lot of fun.
In the back alley, Guan Hengzhuan instantly used the enchantment effect of the avatar mask to transform into Gray's appearance. He then swaggered into the mansion where the high-roller gambling convention was being held, holding an invitation letter in his hand without any suspense.
After entering the door, I saw that the hall was already filled with dozens of tables. Games that dazzled all kinds of gamblers were played here, whether it was cards, dice or guessing booths. Waiters were holding drinks and food.
There is an endless flow among the crowd.
The gamblers, like soldiers red-eyed on the battlefield, rushed to their favorite table and began to spend huge sums of money gambling.
Guan Heng found a deserted corner, first took off his disguise mask and put it in his arms, because the mask could only be used for disguise for fifteen minutes, and he had to use it when facing Mr. Pippin. Anyway, now
The scene in the gambling hall was very chaotic, and no one paid attention to Guan Heng's face.
After exchanging a thick stack of chips at the front desk, Guan Heng casually placed two or three bets in front of several tables for playing cards and throwing dice. He gradually felt a little impatient. Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he took a hand.
Waiter carrying tray.
Hey, let me ask you. Guan Heng deliberately pretended to be extremely arrogant and said to the waiter: Where is my good friend Mr. Pippin? Why can't I see this guy now? The reason why I came here tonight is because I want to
Have a good gamble with him.
It turned out that this young master was a friend of Mr. Pippin. Seeing Guan Heng's extraordinary bearing and arrogant expression, the waiter immediately said with a smile on his face: You may not know when you first arrived, but the people downstairs are just ordinary gamblers.
Mr. Pippin's distinguished guests were relaxing in the ten independent private rooms on the second floor.
As long as you go up to the second floor, your entourage will immediately lead you to a private room with available seats. In addition, Mr. Pippin still has some secular affairs in the city. The waiter then said to Guan Heng: So he has given us instructions in advance, saying that it is
We won't arrive at the high-roller gambling convention until after nine o'clock in the evening.
So that's it, I understand. Guan Heng yelled carelessly, picked up a glass of wine from the tray, drank it, and threw a few gold coins to the waiter: I'm giving this to you, kid, get out of here.
Yes, yes, thank you very much, young master. The waiter was so happy after taking the gold coins that he hurriedly said: Master, I wish you good luck in gambling tonight, kill everyone, and win gold and silver.
After saying that, the waiter turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Guan Heng would snatch the gold coins back again. Guan Heng unconsciously laughed and said angrily: "You are so greedy for money, you are so easy to get rid of."
He looked at the wall clock on the wall of the hall. The time on it was already half past eight. Guan Heng knew that Mr. Pippin would be arriving in a while. He rolled his eyes, remembered what Jacques said to him, and decided to sneak into this gambler.
Let’s explore the young master’s room first.
This mansion was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman in Digong City. However, according to the information from Black Feather Crow, the wealthy businessman suddenly disappeared for no reason half a month ago. Mr. Pippin paid a small price to buy it from the wealthy businessman's widow.
He bought a mansion here, and from then on, this became his residence in Digong City.
Before coming here, Guan Heng had seen the floor plan of the mansion that Jacques gave him. He knew that it was a separate private room for entertaining distinguished guests. The third floor was where the attendants and butlers lived, and the fourth floor was where Mr. Pippin himself lived. There were
A very spacious living room.
Well, it seems that climbing from the outer wall to the rooftop on the fourth floor should be an ideal shortcut, because taking the stairs will definitely disturb the followers and servants. Guan Heng was standing at the edge of the garden at this time, looking up at the four-story
The outer wall murmurs to itself: Start climbing now
Rustling At this moment, Guan Heng suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass in the garden behind him. He frowned slightly and quickly hid in a dark corner. At this time, a voice sounded from behind a short tree in the grass.
The sound of a man talking in a low voice.
Why did you come just now? The male voice said with a hint of anger: I have been waiting for you for more than an hour.
I'm sorry, dear. A young woman's voice echoed: The kitchen is really busy right now, so I can't come out to meet you until now.
Forget it, I don’t blame you. The man’s voice became softer when he spoke: It took a lot of effort for me to sneak in through the back door of the mansion pretending to be a handyman carrying things, just to meet you. We got together recently.
I have less time and I miss you very much.
My dear, I miss you too. The young cook suddenly burst into tears and sobbed in a low voice: You were able to become the deputy general manager in this mansion just because I talked too much about the things you were asking around.
, they kicked you out.
