Chapter 218 Rumors, Double Orders

Before the chasm.

The ghosts in the other cars were all waiting for the old city lord's arrangements.

They originally planned to come here to face a fierce battle.

The fact that those assassins were able to successfully kill the Fortune Ghost shows that they are very powerful.

In this situation, even if they have the advantage, they cannot avoid a fierce battle.

However, after coming here, I encountered such a result.

The other party actually suspected that he had killed himself!

This feeling, not to mention the old city lord, even they themselves felt it was not real.

I would subconsciously wonder if there is any conspiracy behind this matter.

After some thought, the old city lord finally realized something.

That means just waiting here won't solve any problems.

He took a deep breath and ordered, "Let's go back to the city!"

A ghost asked, "Lord City Lord, are those assassins who assassinated Lord Wealth Ghost really dead?"

The old city lord said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but this is not the most urgent issue at the moment."

If the other person is still alive, where could he be?

One possibility is that the other party has mastered some method that allows them to move around in a deadly place or survive for a short period of time.

If this is true, then trying to find a few ghosts in such a huge dead place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Otherwise, the other party is still within the scope of Gray City.

If this is the case, the possibility of finding it is greater than the former.

If he still has more time, he can slowly scrape the ground three feet deep to scrape the opponent out.

But now, he could clearly feel that his death was approaching.

It can only last two or three days at most.

Originally, it should have lasted longer.

However, this trip out of the city, coupled with his mood swings, had drained a lot of his energy.

Moreover, he had a feeling that he could no longer rely on the Caimougui himself.

He must determine the next city lord in the final time and try his best to pave the way for the next city lord.

As long as the next city lord can hold his position firmly, those assassins will not be able to cause any big trouble.

This is what is meant by, a blacksmith must be strong himself.

As the stronger side, as long as they can proceed steadily and cautiously, there won't be any big problems.

Sure enough, I just returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Secretary Gui received the call and his face quickly became serious.

He said to the City Lord Ghost: "Lord City Lord, the latest news is that the Money Ghost has been murdered."

"He was in the Falling Star Building on Second Street, not far from the grand gathering. Because he disguised himself before his death, his identity has not been confirmed until now."

"Our people are investigating why the Caimou Ghost appeared in Luoxing Tower and who killed him."

There was a gleam of brilliance in the old city lord's eyes.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that many things began to connect.

Youyou asked, "Why would the Money-seeking Ghost appear in Luoxing Tower, and in disguise?"

"Tell me, is there a possibility that the death of the Fortune Ghost is actually related to the Money Ghost?"

The secretary ghost's face changed drastically: "This, this, this is impossible?"

"They are all geniuses of our Caigui family. Even if there are some grudges between them, how could they do this?"

The old city lord shook his head and sighed: "Alas... I also hope that things will not be like this."

"I've long seen that Caimougui is a very ambitious guy. But I don't want to believe that he would do such a thing." Compared with Caiqigui being assassinated by outsiders, being killed by their own people would cause greater harm to the Caigui family.

If the enemy is outside, the Caigui family can take this opportunity to unite.

However, if the enemy is within, the Caigui family may become uneasy and may even split into several factions.

The old city lord gave an order: "Block the news and tell the ghosts investigating this matter not to talk nonsense."

"Everything will be dealt with after the next city lord takes office."

Thinking of the current mess, the old city lord felt his scalp tingling.

I really want to get rid of the position of city lord as soon as possible so that the next person can have the headache.

The secretary ghost also realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

He hurried out of the City Lord's Mansion, leaving the old City Lord here alone to think about what his final few moves should be.

However, ten minutes later, the secretary ghost came back.

There was a bit of panic on his face: "Lord City Lord! The news can no longer be concealed!"

"Now all kinds of rumors are flying around the city. Some say that the Wealth Ghost was killed by the Wealth Ghost, so the Wealth Ghost appeared near the grand gathering."

"Others say that the Wealth Ghost's subordinates, the Wealth Ghost, the Wealth Ghost, and the Wealth Ghost, worked together to kill the Wealth Ghost."

"There are also rumors that this is actually the plan of the wealthy ghost. He looks innocent, but he is actually a thousand-year-old fox."

"There are also rumors that the Wealthy Ghost is the mastermind behind this. He is very good at doing this kind of thing, and that the Wealthy Ghost was pushed out by him to take the blame."

"...In short, all kinds of rumors, some outrageous and some serious, have spread throughout the entire Gray City!"

The old city lord frowned and said in a cold voice: "Okay! Judging from the current situation, those assassins have already anticipated the current situation in Gray City."

"The fact that we left Gray City to chase after the bus was also part of their plan."

"While we were away, they spread rumors wantonly in Gray City!"

"Can we find out who is spreading these rumors, and where are they now?"

The secretary was sweating profusely: "We are already investigating this matter."

"But it seems that it is not so easy to find out in a short period of time."

"The opponent is very powerful, his movements are secretive, he is very good at hiding, and he has also disguised himself..."

The old city lord nodded: "I understand."

"Notify all the ghosts of the Caigui family to gather at the city lord's mansion. I want to appoint the next family head and city lord!"

"Now that things have come to this, the only way is to cut the Gordian knot!"

The longer things are delayed, the more the situation will develop in an uncontrollable direction.

All he can do now is rely on the prestige he has accumulated over the years.

In addition, there is the tradition and inertia of mutual trust that the Caiqi family has accumulated over the years.

Quickly push forward the next head of the family.

In this situation, it doesn’t matter who the next head of the family will be.

The important thing is that there must be a head of the household.

Even if a loser is made the head of the family, it is still countless times better than leaving the position vacant.

Secretary Ghost: "I understand. I'll do it right away."

The old city lord said slowly: "Just issue the city lord order and the family lord order."

"Let all the ghosts come here. Anyone who doesn't come will be expelled from the family."

The secretary ghost was shocked and realized the criticality of the situation.

As far as he could remember, there had never been a situation where the City Lord's Order and the Family Head's Order were issued together.

This kind of thing is even recorded in the history of the Caigui family.

It only appeared when the first head of the family died.
