Chapter 121 Chen Jiusi: Whoever kills my brother must be killed!
Corpses were carried out of the courtyard one after another.

The younger brothers from the fishing gang who were carrying the corpse all had sad faces.

A stretcher, a corpse, and a piece of white cloth are their last decency in the world.

They were still able to eat and drink yesterday. When they heard that Fifth Master's sister was missing, everyone in the whole vegetable market helped to look for her. Some of them even followed Chen Jie to wipe out Feng Si's gang.

And now they have turned into corpses.

They also have wives and children, as well as elderly and young ones, but this is the world of martial arts, and life and death may be just a matter of a moment.

Chen Jie felt very heavy-hearted. If he counted carefully, these people should have died because of him.

Although Chen Jie could not be blamed for this incident, when it came down to it, it was Chen Jie who implicated them.

Deng Guangming came over and patted Chen Jie on the shoulder and said, "Old Five, think positively. Feng San is a lunatic. Who would have thought that he would dare to raid our fishing gang's base?"

"This matter cannot be left like this."

Lu Rong also came over and asked, "When will you seek revenge?"

Deng Guangming said: "We are already looking for them, but I sent people to check the Beggars' Gang's base in West City. They have all evacuated. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to take revenge."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Call me when you want revenge."

Deng Guangming nodded.

At this moment, several young men from the fishing gang suddenly came running over and said, "Third Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, the hall master is here."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong, with a dark face, led Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan to rush over.

Not long after, Zhou Chu also arrived.

At this time, almost all the senior leaders of Baihu Hall had arrived. Peng Shizhong came to the corner of the wall where the corpses were covered with white cloth and neatly arranged.

He lifted a piece of white cloth, took a look, and then immediately clenched his fists. Veins on his face were exposed, and his temples were bulging. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"Who did it?"

Peng Shizhong asked, and Feng Xuan said, "Foster father, on the wall."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong raised his head, and the next moment his eyes flashed with ferocity: "Feng San!"

After reading these two words, Peng Shizhong immediately roared: "Follow me into the house."

At this time, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Zhou Chu all looked towards the corpse in the corner. After looking around, Zhou Chu said with a dark face, "Jiu Si, Little Nose is dead!"

"Snotty?"

Chen Jie was stunned, Zhou Chu said: "Well, the kid who rushed into the yard with you last night was only seventeen years old."

After Zhou Chu said this, Chen Jie remembered that there was indeed that child.

Zhou Chu said: "His eyes were dug out, his tongue was pulled out, and he was bitten by dogs. There is not a single good spot on his body. He is only seventeen years old! These beasts!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "Little Sniffle, I will avenge these twelve brothers. Anyone who kills my brothers will be killed!"

Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Whoever kills my brother must be killed!"

The two looked at each other and entered the house with heavy hearts.

Inside the house, Peng Shizhong sat there with a sullen look on his face and said, "Sit down."

The six adopted sons sat down one by one. At this time, Peng Shizhong said, "You all saw what happened today. Feng San was too arrogant. He actually dared to kill the people of my White Tiger Hall in such a way. This matter will never end well."

After hearing this, the six of them fell silent, knowing that Peng Shizhong was about to give an order.

At this time, Peng Shizhong said, "I will issue an order from the hall master. From now on, all members of the White Tiger Hall will declare war on the Beggars' Sect. Anyone who sees a Beggars' Sect disciple in our four streets will be arrested first."

"Secondly, issue a killing order against Feng San. Whoever kills Feng San will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver if his head is sent to my White Tiger Hall."

"In addition, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong, and Deng Guangming, the four of you will lead the elite disciples and be ready to attack at any time."

"Jiu Si, Zhou Chu, you will temporarily take over the patrol mission of Fourth Street."

Then Peng Shizhong thought for a moment and said, "Ah Fu."

"exist."

"Paper and pen!"

Uncle Fu immediately handed over paper and pen, and Peng Shizhong immediately wrote a letter.

After finishing writing, Peng Shizhong said: "Send someone to the old beggar and tell him that if he doesn't hand over Feng San, my White Tiger Hall will declare war on him. If he dies or gets hurt, he will be responsible for it!"

After hearing this, Uncle Fu said, "I'll deliver it myself."

"Do not."

Peng Shizhong shook his head and said, "Just send one disciple. The Beggars' Sect is not a group of classy people."

After hearing this, Uncle Fu nodded and immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the old beggar. Peng Shizhong said, "You four, take people to the other halls of the Beggars' Gang to watch. If there is any news, whether to fight or not, I will inform you."

"It's the foster father."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong's four adopted sons.

[Eight-Faced Buddha Feng Xuan] [Iron-Faced Tiger Zheng Chuan] [Bronze-Armed Lu Rong] [White-Clothed Scholar Deng Guangming] all set out, bringing their elite disciples with them, to other branches of the Beggars' Sect.

Peng Shizhong's four disciples are all very strong. Peng Shizhong has used a lot of resources to train them. Each of them is a strong man in the Iron Bone Realm.

The strongest among them, such as Zheng Chuan, Feng Xuan, etc., have been in the Iron Bone Realm for several years and have extremely strong strength.

Deng Guangming has been in the Iron Bone Realm for half a year, and his strength is at the Dark Energy level, which is quite powerful.

At this time, the four elite disciples set out together, and Peng Shizhong's anger was visible.

……

Beggars' Sect, South City Branch.

This is a very large courtyard. There are no flowers, plants or trees in the courtyard, but there is a vegetable garden.

An old beggar, barefoot and wearing ragged clothes, was personally watering each vegetable in the vegetable garden with manure.

There were two people standing outside the vegetable garden, one of them was dressed in silk and holding a golden knife in his hand.

A man with a strange appearance, dressed in rags, a typical beggar.

These two are the old beggar’s right-hand men and left-hand men, Feng San with the Golden Knife and Zhou Peng with the Iron Beggar.

It can also be seen from the way the two men dress that their styles of doing things are also very different. The Beggars' Sect has always been divided into two factions, the Clean Clothes Faction and the Dirty Clothes Faction.

There is no distinction between the two factions.

Among them, the dirty clothes faction is easy to understand, just like Zhou Peng, who wears tattered clothes and looks like a beggar.

The Jingyi Faction is like Feng San, who wears silk and satin and uses weapons inlaid with gold and silver, and is very rich.

Does the Beggars' Sect have any money?

Yes, the disciples of the Beggars' Sect may not have money, but the leader of the Beggars' Sect is quite rich.

There are three sources of money. First, the little beggars below have to pay their dues every day. A little bit adds up to a lot, and the leader of the Beggar Gang is not short of money.

Secondly, they collect protection fees. In a street protected by the Beggars' Gang, which businessman dares not to pay? If you don't pay, a group of beggars will bring a group of beggars to throw feces into your store. Can you bear it?

The third is to do business. This is the job of the Jingyi Sect. Their business is divided into two parts.

The first part is legal buying and selling, not legalization.

What I mean is, if you open a restaurant on this street and make a lot of money, then I, the Beggars' Gang, will also open a restaurant. What if we can't sell as much as you? We will send a dozen beggars to cause trouble in your store every day and throw feces all over your store. Can you withstand it?

If you can’t handle it, there is only one solution: sell the store to us Beggars’ Gang and get out.

The second part is illegal transactions, such as human trafficking...

In this case, how could they be short of money, especially the beggar leaders at the upper level.

They are all very fat, but now that they have money, their behavior is different. They wear clean clothes and pay attention to eating, drinking, playing and living well. Their shortcoming is that they are out of touch with the lower classes of the Beggars' Gang.

The second type is like the Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, who wears tattered clothes like a beggar. In fact, his food and drink are no worse than those of the Clean Clothes Sect, except that his clothes are worse. The advantage is that he can mingle with the lower levels of the Beggar Gang.

The old beggar was pouring manure water at this time.

He said, "You mean, Peng Shizhong's adopted son killed your brother, and you destroyed a stronghold of the White Tiger Hall?"

"Old Captain, I originally wanted to kill Chen Jiusi, but the black market intervened."

The old beggar asked, "How come Chen Jiusi is involved with the black market again?"

Feng San said: "I don't know either."

The old beggar asked, "Then how are you going to solve this? Can we just let this go?"

"No, my brother's death must not be in vain. Chen Jiusi must pay for my brother's life."

"Then why did you kill the people from the White Tiger Hall? Now your reason has become unreasonable!"

The Iron Beggar Zhou Peng at the side spoke up.

Feng San immediately quit after hearing this and looked at Zhou Peng and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean by being right and then being wrong? Did my brother die in vain?"

Zhou Peng asked, "Did the twelve people from the White Tiger Hall die in vain?"

"Haha, twelve worthless lives, can they be worth my brother's life? That's just the interest I and the White Tiger Hall collected."

"But does Baihutang think so?"

"I don't care what he thinks, Chen Jiusi must die!"

Zhou Peng shook his head and looked at the old beggar, who was scooping manure from the bucket and said, "Stop arguing, Feng San, you are indeed a little impulsive."

Feng San looked up at the old beggar, but did not dare to talk back to him.

The old beggar said, "I know Peng Shizhong well. He will not let you go if you kill the twelve disciples of his White Tiger Hall."

Feng San paused for a moment, looked at the old beggar and said, "Does the captain mean that he doesn't support me anymore?"

"Then Captain, tie me up and take me to the White Tiger Hall, and I will pay for the lives of those twelve men."

"Feng San, is this what the old captain means? Who are you playing bachelor with?"

Zhou Peng shouted angrily.

"What does the old captain mean? And old captain, this time the higher-ups mean that we should not lie dormant any longer. It's time for a change in Mianshui County. The adopted son of the White Tiger Hall Master of the Cao Gang dared to kill my brother. Do you think the Beggars' Sect is serious?"

"Old Captain, think about the glory of the Beggars' Sect in the past. Back then, it was the largest gang in the Jianghu. But now, even the cats and dogs in Mianshui County dare to bully us. Old Captain, I can't stand it anymore!"

Feng San gritted his teeth.

The old helmsman frowned slightly, then said, "Well, I know about this. Feng San, you can leave first. I will think about it."

Feng San heard this and said, "Old Captain, I won't force you, but Chen Jiusi must pay for my brother's life! This is my bottom line!"

"I see."

The old helmsman nodded as he spoke.

Feng San turned and left.

Zhou Peng put down the wet towel to wipe his hands: "Old helmsman, Feng San passed this time."

The old helmsman said, "Well, he is a little rash, but he is right. We are not the Beggars' Sect who can be killed by these random people. It is time to let Mianshui County know about our Beggars' Sect!"

Zhou Peng was stunned, then looked at the old helmsman and asked, "Old helmsman, what are you doing?"

The old helmsman said, "Well, notify everyone to prepare for the battle. This time, I'm afraid it will be a tough battle!"

After hearing this, Zhou Peng looked at his old helmsman in confusion.

I don't know what happened, but since the trip to the north half a year ago, the old helmsman has become radical after returning. First, he ignored my dissuasion and forcibly exploited the Nanhu Salt Field, which touched the core interests of the fishing tyrants and the Cao Gang.

Then he indulged Feng San to cause trouble everywhere. In the past, he helped persuade Feng San not to cause trouble, but now, he was encouraging him.

It seemed as if he was afraid that he would not be able to fight with the Cao Gang and the Yu Gang.

This made Zhou Peng feel something was wrong, as if the entire Beggars' Sect was about to launch a terrifying counterattack.

He knew about this situation. Wasn't it because of their radical behavior and constant stirring up trouble that the Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang were able to stand out from the crowd of gangs?

This kind of behavior is called Jianghu Li Gang.

Only by playing it out can you get the corresponding benefits.

Zhou Peng also felt that the old leader wanted to seize the position of the third largest gang in Mianshui County.

But how could he be so confident? You have to know that the two big factions in Mianshui County are not just sitting there doing nothing!
Will you just watch your own Beggars' Sect rise?

I have to say that my old boss is a little too confident.

Zhou Peng wanted to persuade him, but he found that the old helmsman seemed to no longer listen to what others said.

Just at this moment, a little beggar ran in from outside.

"Helmsman."

The old helmsman looked at the little beggar and asked, "What's wrong?"

"White Tiger Hall, the White Tiger Hall sent someone to say they want to see the old helmsman."

"Oh, let him in."

After hearing this, the little beggar immediately ran out to let the messenger from Baihu Hall in.

Soon a disciple from the fishing gang came and bowed to the old beggar and said, "Greetings, senior."

The old beggar looked at him and asked, "What does Peng Shizhong ask you to do?"

At this time, the disciple of the fishing gang took out a letter from his arms.

"Senior, I'm here to deliver a letter."

The old beggar stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Soon the letter was delivered to the old beggar. He took the letter and read it. He had no expression from beginning to end. He closed the letter and said, "Well, I already know what is in the letter. You can tell your Hall Master Peng. I will give him a satisfactory answer."

The disciples of the fishing gang clasped their fists and said, "Yes, senior."

After saying that, he turned and left. At this time, the old beggar took the letter and looked at it again, his face turned cold.

At this time Zhou Peng asked: "Old helmsman, what did Peng Shizhong say?"

The old beggar said, "Haha, he told me to hand Feng San over to him for punishment, otherwise he would go to war with our Beggars' Sect."

Zhou Peng frowned and said, "The old helmsman said to give him a satisfactory answer. Does he really want to hand Feng San over to Peng Shizhong?"

"Hand over someone? Hehehe..."

The old beggar smiled and said, "Feng San is the disciple of the Golden Sword Guardian. How can I explain to my superiors if I hand him over? Besides, he didn't do anything wrong. He just killed a few people from the Fishermen's Gang."

"Then old helmsman, what is your satisfactory answer?"

The old beggar frowned slightly and said, "Peng Shizhong is not a good-tempered person. If we don't agree, he will start a war. I'm not afraid of a war, but it happened suddenly and the other gangs are not ready yet. I want to give them some time to prepare and stabilize Old Peng first!"

"Notify all the other sects immediately and gather here to prepare for battle!"

After hearing this, Zhou Peng's eyelids jumped and he said, "Old Captain, are we really going to start a war?"

The old beggar said: "If we don't fight, we will never be able to stand up in Mianshui County!"

After hearing this, Zhou Peng said helplessly: "Yes."

The disciple of the Fishermen's Gang quickly returned to West City and reported the matter to Peng Shizhong. After hearing this, Peng Shizhong flashed a sneer on his face and said, "If you have a satisfactory answer, notify Feng Xuan and the others. You can start now!"

After hearing this, Peng Fu said, "Master, aren't you too anxious? The old beggar said he would give us a satisfactory answer!"

Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "Satisfied? Haha, if he doesn't hand over the person now, it means he doesn't want to hand him over. So stop talking nonsense and kill him! Kill him until he hands him over!"

"Yes!"

……

War is always unexpected.

It started very quickly!
Without any warning, bloody battles broke out in various Beggar Gang branches throughout Mianshui County on this day.

For a time, the bigwigs of the entire Mianshui County were alarmed.

Fishermen:

"What, the White Tiger Hall took action?"

Nan Batian, who was eating at this time, stood up and looked at Tang Ziyue who was holding a white paper fan beside him.

Tang Ziyue said: "Master, um, the spies reported that the four adopted sons of Hall Master Peng attacked together and raided the three main halls of the Beggars' Sect."

"How's the battle going?"

"There is no new information yet. We only know that the fight was very intense. This time, Hall Master Peng was very ruthless."

Nan Batian said: "Oh, my brother was very quick this time, do you know why?"

"It seems to be related to what happened to his fifth adopted son yesterday."

"The fifth adopted son is called Chen..."

"Chen Jiusi."

"Oh, yes, what exactly happened?"

"Is such that……"

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Well, no wonder, it turns out that Senior Brother is so angry because someone from the White Tiger Hall was touched."

"Boss, do we need to help the White Tiger Hall?"

"Not for now, just watch the show."

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "Yes."

While they were talking, a maid ran in and said, "Master."

"Ok?"

Nan Batian looked at him, and the maid said, "Madam refused to apply medicine."

"waste."

"Boss, spare my life!"

Nan Batian said: "Whether I can spare your life depends on my wife."

Nan Batian rushed to the backyard. When he arrived, the door was closed. After Nan Batian came, he knocked on the door and said, "Wan'er, don't lose your temper. Open the door and let the maid give you the medicine, otherwise you will be left with scars."

There was no sound in the house at this time.

Nan Batian continued, "Wan'er, don't blame me. I just had a problem with my internal energy and it affected my mind. I didn't mean to hit you."

There was still no sound in the house.

Nan Batian saw this and immediately shouted angrily: "Come here, kill all these maids who are not serving well!"

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in the room, and Nan Batian immediately raised his hand and said, "Wait!"

The guards who were about to arrest someone paused, and then heard the woman say, "Let them come in and apply the medicine. I'm going to stay at Jixiang Temple for a few days, so please arrange for someone."

After hearing this, Nan Batian immediately asked, "Go to Jixiang Temple?"

The woman said, "Well, I'll come back when you calm down."

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Okay."

Having said that, Nan Batian turned and left, his face looking sullen and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

At this time, the maids entered the room and saw a very beautiful woman in the room. The woman was wearing a tulle and had a well-proportioned figure, but there were shocking whip marks on her back.

Nan Batian practiced a very domineering martial art called "Xuanbing Jin", but because of a problem with his qi circulation, he injured the Ren, Chong and Dai meridians, causing his temperament to change drastically at night. In addition, the Chong meridian was damaged, causing the man's yang energy to weaken, his vitality to rise, and he became incapable of intercourse.

Therefore, seeing that he could not enjoy his beautiful wife, he gradually became perverted and liked to whip women with a whip. Seeing women trembling and curling up in pain satisfied his crazy heart.

This is the unspeakable secret of Nan Batian, the number one in Mianshui.

Several maids came forward and looked at the scars on the woman's back. They all gasped and thought that being the wife of a gang leader didn't seem like a good thing.

……

Nan Batian came to the meeting hall with a dark face. At this time, Tang Ziyue, the white paper fan, immediately ran over and said to Nan Batian: "Boss, there is a result."

"The White Tiger Hall raided three Beggars' Sect, killing more than 50 beggars and capturing more than 300 alive. In addition, they killed the Beggars' Sect's South City Supervisor, Long Spear Deng Yue, and seriously injured the North City Supervisor, Ivy Liu Feng. The East City Supervisor, Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, escaped the disaster."

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Oh, the results are remarkable. By the way, where is the White Tiger Hall?"

"Feng Xuan was slightly injured, and the rest are fine."

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Okay, then it depends on what the Beggars' Sect will do next."

……

This is the headquarters of the fishing gang.

After hearing what happened today, Old Monster Liu said, "Haha, interesting. Peng Shizhong does things without dragging his feet."

"Mr. Bai."

"Gang leader."

"Take the healing medicine and go to the White Tiger Hall and tell them you are delivering the medicine to the brothers."

"Yes, Gang Leader."

Old Monster Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "If they start fighting, it will be interesting."

……

Beggars' Gang!

At this time, the Beggars' Sect was in chaos, and a group of miserable beggars who had been beaten gathered here.

In particular, there was a stretcher placed in the lobby, and on the stretcher lay a corpse. It was the South City Supervisor of the Beggar Gang, Spear Deng Yue.

Next to Deng Yue, there was a seriously injured man. This man was also in a very miserable state. His hand was broken. He was sitting there with blood all over his face.

Seeing this scene, Feng San jumped up.

"Old Captain, this fishing gang is too despicable. They actually led people to attack our branch, causing us heavy losses. We will never give up until this revenge is avenged!"

After hearing this, the old beggar also said with a dark face: "Blame me, I didn't expect Peng Shizhong to be so cruel."

At this time, Zhou Peng on the side said: "Old helmsman, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Of course we should fight back."

Feng San shouted directly. After hearing this, Zhou Peng said, "How can we fight back? One of our four leaders died and one was injured. It's just you and me left. And their four adopted sons are all here. How many of them can you beat?"

After hearing this, Feng San said, "What should we do? Just put up with it? I can't stand this."

"And even if I can bear it, you brothers can't bear it, right brothers?"

Feng San shouted to the excited Beggars' Sect disciples outside. After hearing this, the Beggars' Sect disciples shouted in unison: "I can't stand it. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood. Revenge, revenge!"

After hearing this, Feng San was very satisfied, and he was the one who shouted the loudest just now.

Zhou Peng frowned when he saw Feng San actually coercing the gang members, but he looked at the old leader and said, "Old leader, what do you think?"

The old helmsman narrowed his eyes and said, "Haha, now that the game has begun, we can't end it like this. If we want to play, then let's play."

Then, the old captain said, "Immediately collect information about all the adopted sons of Peng Shizhong of the White Tiger Hall. If he kills our leader, I will kill his adopted sons!"

After hearing this, Feng San said, "Old Captain, leave this matter to me!"

Zhou Peng standing by also narrowed his eyes.

……

Over the next few days, the fighting between the two gangs continued to escalate and become more and more intense.

More and more people are dying.

It seems that the form tends to be exaggerated.

In the past few days, Chen Jie and others were often attacked by disciples of the Beggar Gang while patrolling the streets. Chen Jie killed two of them, but more intense battles continued.

For a time, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, other forces in Mianshui County remained silent.

Even the imperial court didn't care about this matter.

However, there is a change taking place inside that is enough to terrify ordinary people.

But just when the situation became more intense.

An ultimatum was issued from the highest ruling residence of Mianshui County, the Mulanren Darughachi Mansion, stating that the matter must be resolved within three days. Mianshui cannot continue to be in turmoil!

Darughachi issued this order.

Immediately notified the White Tiger Hall and the Beggars' Sect.

After seeing this order, both sides were in a dilemma.

After all, this was an order issued by the local emperor of Mianshui County, the Darughachi Mansion.

Darughachi is an official position unique to Daqian, and is assigned by the Mulan tribe to supervise Han officials.

To put it bluntly, the county government was responsible for managing the people in Mianshui County, but the Darughachi Prefecture was responsible for managing the county government.

Moreover, the two major gangs in Mianshui County were actually supported by the Darughachi Mansion to check and balance the power of the county government.

The order was issued personally by the Darughachi Mansion, so even Peng Shizhong, the old beggar, had to be cautious.

The possibility of defeating the other party in three days is not great. It seems that we can only shake hands and make peace.

Therefore, both sides restrained their men and tried their best to avoid conflicts.

Mianshui County seemed to be gradually returning to calm.

But just when everyone thought that the matter would end quietly.

The next morning, Peng Shizhong suddenly and urgently summoned all the disciples of the White Tiger Hall to gather.

After receiving the order, Chen Jie immediately went to the White Tiger Hall headquarters.

As soon as he arrived at the headquarters, Chen Jie found that the atmosphere was quite solemn. Everyone had a gloomy face, and some even had red circles under their eyes, as if they had just cried.

Chen Jie was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

At this time, Zhou Chu came out with tears on his face and said, "Jiu Si, you are here."

Chen Jie was stunned and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Zhou?"

Zhou Chu paused and said, "Go in and see for yourself."

Chen Jie was very surprised and walked towards the house. After entering the house, Chen Jie found that the atmosphere inside was not right.

At this time, everyone around looked like they were crying.

When Chen Jie arrived at the inner hall, he saw Peng Shizhong sitting in the main seat with tears in his eyes, and three people standing below him, namely Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Lu Rong.

But Deng Guangming disappeared.

Chen Jie was stunned: "Where's the fourth brother?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. At this time, Chen Jie saw a corpse on the ground, covered with a white cloth.

Chen Jie seemed to have thought of something.

At this time, he took a step forward, looked at Peng Shizhong and said, "Fourth brother?"

Peng Shizhong didn't say anything, but Chen Jie walked over and immediately lifted the white cloth. The next moment, he was stunned.

I saw that the person covered by the white cloth was the scholar in white, Deng Guangming, whom I was familiar with.

At this time, Deng Guangming was still wearing the white clothes, but his chest was stained with blood. He was pierced through the chest and died.

Chen Jie was stunned when he looked at Deng Guangming's body.

Since I came to Mianshui County, the person I am most familiar with besides Lao Zhou is Deng Guangming. He was the first one to take me to Yihonglou, and he was the one who always took care of me and helped me.

But now, his fourth brother was killed.

"Who killed him?"

Chen Jie asked.

"I don't know. My brothers found him at the dock. When he died, his body was lying on the ground. The sword wound was from behind and penetrated his heart."

Feng Xuan spoke.

After hearing this, Zheng Chuan said, "Who else could it be? It must have been done by the Beggars' Sect. We killed their South City leader, Long Spear Deng Yue, so they will definitely come for revenge!"

After saying this, Lu Rong said, "Blood debt must be paid with blood, the fourth brother cannot die in vain."

"Father, please give me two hundred men and I will go and avenge Old Four!"

Lu Rong roared. After hearing this, Peng Shizhong looked at him and asked, "How to take revenge?"

"Seek revenge on the Beggars' Sect."

As Lu Rong was talking, Peng Shizhong asked, "Can you lead 200 people to break into the Beggars' Sect?"

Lu Rong said: "Even if I risk my life, I will avenge Lao Si. Lao Si's death cannot be in vain!"

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong stopped talking.

Chen Jie wiped the tears from his eyes, then touched Deng Guangming's body. Feng Xuan said, "Old Four's things are all over there, Ninety-four."

After hearing this, Chen Jie walked over and saw a few things on the table nearby.

A short dagger, this is Deng Guangming's weapon.

A stack of banknotes and two sachets, one embroidered with "Spring and Autumn are like dreams" and the other embroidered with "Endless summer".

Chen Jie knew that this was the sachet from Yihonglou.

The last one was a book. Chen Jie thought it was a martial arts secret book, but when he looked at it, it turned out to be an account book.

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, picked up the account book that had been stained with blood, and took a look. It turned out that the records inside were all about pig iron transactions.

At this time, Feng Xuan said, "The fourth brother is in charge of the ironware business within the gang. He always carries this account book with him. He also serves as the first accountant of our White Tiger Hall."

Zheng Chuan also said, "It should be that when the fourth brother went to the dock to check the transported goods, he was discovered by the Beggars' Sect and attacked from behind. I remember that Zhou Peng, the Iron Beggar of the Beggars' Sect, is good at using swords."

Feng Xuan said: "Well, Zhou Peng is also known as the Iron Sword!"

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "How strong is Zhou Peng?"

Feng Xuan said: "He is very strong. I have fought him before and he is not inferior to me."

Zheng Chuan said: "His strength should be on par with mine."

After hearing this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "If a master like you sneak attacks Fourth Brother, will Fourth Brother be able to react?"

Feng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there will be some reaction."

Zheng Chuan said: "If Fourth Brother was distracted at that time, he might not be able to react."

"Old Five, why are you asking this?"

"It's okay. I just want to know what kind of person is able to hurt Fourth Brother even if it's a sneak attack."

After hearing this, Zheng Chuan asked, "Do you suspect that it wasn't done by the Beggars' Sect?"

Chen Jie said: "I'm not sure, but I'm afraid the Beggars' Sect has helpers!"

After hearing this, Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan looked at each other and said, "Could it be that there is a master who can use swords hidden behind the Beggars' Sect, and the strength of this master is at least at the Iron Bone Realm, and at the highest, he can even reach the Transformation Realm?"

Thinking of this, Peng Shizhong slammed the table and said, "No matter if there are experts behind him, I will definitely not give up with that old beggar this time!"

Then Peng Shizhong said, "Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong, bring your men and follow me."

"Jiu Si, Zhou Chu, you stay home and take good care of your fourth brother's body!"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong immediately took his men away. Peng Shizhong was loyal to each of his adopted sons, but now the fourth one was killed in a surprise attack.

How can we let this matter go?

I originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but now it seems that we will have to fight to the death with the Beggars' Sect!

Thinking of this, Peng Shizhong rushed out with his men.

Chen Jie watched Peng Shizhong and his gang from behind and always felt that this matter was not simple.

Chen Jie thought about it and looked at the bloody clothes on Deng Guangming's body, then said to Zhou Chu, "Go to Fourth Brother's residence and find one of his clothes. Fourth Brother was the cleanest when he was alive, and he must be clean even after he's gone."

Chen Jie sent someone to change Deng Guangming's clothes, and then he saw the wounds on Deng Guangming's body.

The wound was actually stabbed diagonally upwards, at this angle?

Zhou Chu also saw the problem and said, "It seems that this assassin was lying in ambush in the bushes, waiting for Fourth Brother to pass by, and then stabbed him from the bottom up."

Chen Jie squinted his eyes and went over to look at the account book. Every entry was recorded in great detail.

Check the accounts and find the dock?

Being ambushed?

pig iron?

Iron Beggar Zhou Peng is good at using iron sword.

A blow from bottom to top.

Why does this matter seem so confusing?

Chen Jie thought about it with a frown on his face. This matter didn't seem as simple as it seemed.

Thinking this way, Chen Jie waited until evening.

There is no need to worry about home. Su Yunjin basically lives in Hua Sanniang's tofu shop now, and Ruirui has a special liking for tofu pudding and drinks it every day.

And Hua Sanniang, the eldest sister-in-law, is really nice. After discovering that Su Yunjin was practicing martial arts, she even gave him some advice.

Even little kids started learning martial arts from Hua Sanniang and could punch like a pro.

Therefore, Chen Jie was not worried about the safety of his family. Even if one of the Thirteen Guardians came to deal with Su Yunjin, Hua Sanniang could protect her.

I have to say that my elder brother and sister-in-law are both very supportive.

So that Chen Jie has no worries.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu looked at their home, feeling anxious. How come Peng Shizhong and the others had been gone for such a long time and had not returned yet?

I waited like this until late at night, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were startled, and then they saw a group of younger brothers from the fishing gang coming back outside, escorting a few people.

Chen Jie saw that the person riding the horse in front was Peng Shizhong.

The two of them immediately went to meet them, followed by Qin Ying and Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng. The two of them escorted Peng Shizhong and his party back.

Chen Jie and the other man came forward and were horrified to find that three people were carried back.

Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong!

Seeing the three people seriously injured, Chen Jie and the other man were confused. What was going on?
Didn’t you go looking for trouble with the Beggars’ Sect?

How did it become like this?

The two were confused. At this time, Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng stopped their horses, clasped their fists to Peng Shizhong and said, "Master Peng, we will send you here. Go back and recuperate. By the way, what about the battle at Nanhu in two days?"

Peng Shizhong said: "Well, no problem, my White Tiger Hall can handle it!"

After hearing this, the two looked at Chen Jie and Zhou Chu and said, "Well, OK, that's it, we'll leave first."

With that, the two of them turned and left.

At this time, Peng Shizhong stretched out his hand, and Chen Jie quickly caught Peng Shizhong. Unexpectedly, as soon as Peng Shizhong landed on the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng turned around.

Peng Shizhong immediately said: "Don't let them see me weak."

Chen Jie immediately blocked Peng Shizhong with his body and said, "Godfather, what's wrong with you?"

"Carry your three brothers in first. We have been ambushed by the Beggars' Sect."

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie immediately asked Zhou Chu to arrange for his three sworn brothers, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Lu Rong, all of whom were seriously injured.

A group of people carried the three people on stretchers into the White Tiger Hall.

Chen Jie said, "Go and invite Uncle Fu and the twelve eagle guards, and get the thirty powerful crossbows in the hall ready. The White Tiger Hall will not accept any guests tonight. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed!"

"Yes!"

The people around immediately went forward to prepare, and at this time Chen Jie immediately helped Peng Shizhong into the house.

Peng Shizhong said, "Go, there is healing medicine in the third drawer of my cabinet, bring it to me."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately went to get the medicine for healing.

After getting the medicine, Peng Shizhong took it and immediately began to sit cross-legged to heal his wounds.

Chen Jie came out, checked the defense of Baihu Hall, and then looked at the injuries of his three brothers.

All serious.

Zhou Chu said: "After taking the healing medicine, everyone went to sleep."

Chen Jie said: "What on earth happened? It was so tragic."

The two of them stood guard outside for a long time. Then Peng Fu came over and said, "The master wants you to go through."

After hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu immediately came to Peng Shizhong's room.

At this time, Peng Shizhong looked pale, half leaning on the table, with a soft pillow behind him.

Seeing Chen Jie and the other two, he said, "I know what you are thinking. We are ambushed."

Peng Shizhong immediately told the story. It turned out that Peng Shizhong brought people to the headquarters of the Beggars' Gang, and then found a few young beggars inside. After asking, he learned that the old beggar and his companions had gone to Nanhu to inspect the salt factory.

Peng Shizhong immediately led his men to Nanhu Lake, but they encountered an ambush by the Beggars' Gang on the way.

In the battle, Feng Xuan and Zhou Peng fought evenly, while Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong suppressed Feng San.

As a result, at this moment, the old beggar showed no martial ethics and suddenly rushed out from the bushes, hitting Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong severely with one palm. Feng Xuan was attacked by Zhou Peng and Feng San at the same time.

Peng Shizhong also started fighting with the old beggar.

The two men were originally equally strong, but in this battle, Peng Shizhong discovered that the old beggar's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he even used a killer move in the end!

Peng Shizhong was seriously injured with just one move!

"The trump card?"

Zhou Chu and Chen Jie were very puzzled as to what kind of killer move could seriously injure the Thirteen Guardians in one move?
At this time, Peng Shizhong's eyes revealed fear.

"The long-lost [Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms]!"

"what!"
