I don't think we can prove Old Chinese had verb inflection.

================
Old-Chinese (AD -1000) can be proved to have cases for pronouns.
At least three cases : subject, accusative, genitive.
It can be proved to have verbal morphology : #m-Root-s
It can be proved to have apophony : *nap "enter" *nop "interior".
