To be honest, despite Lu Hanjiang's hype, as if the beggar gang is unforgivable and won't stop until they fight to the death, in fact, his purpose today is just to plant a suspicion in Caiwei's heart.
Seeds, nothing more.
He never expected that Qingyou, who was already buried, would unknowingly help him such a big favor.
Qingyou, Jinyiwei will never forget your contribution to the imperial court. After the event is completed, I will definitely let Bian Guang go to your tomb to pay homage.
After Lu Hanjiang raised his head and mourned three times, Caiwei's eyes changed.
At this moment, she was "awakened" by her clansmen, and she was already suspicious of the Beggar Gang.
"Master Lu, since your injury is no longer serious, how about we go see Senior Liang and ask him clearly?"
Caiwei's attitude relaxed, and Lu Hanjiang was naturally happy to see her take the initiative. As for bringing him along, of course he wouldn't mind.
After all, without knowing that Jin Yiwei is behind the Xiangyun Company, a business that can only dominate in Bishui City is indeed not on the same level as the Lingyue Clan, the leader of the entire Miao Territory.
"Miss Caiwei invites me, so naturally I dare not refuse."
Lu Hanjiang followed his good deeds and soon made an arrangement with Caiwei to go to the Beggar Clan to "account" her.
The disciples of the Beggar Clan do not live in a fixed place, they also have fixed gathering places, and because there are so many disciples in the sect, it is very easy to find them. Moreover, Liang Benlang himself is in Bishui City, and he can get the news layer by layer in less than half a day.
Pass it upward into his hand.
...
What Caiwei and Lu Hanjiang didn't know was that Liang Benlang had already received the news before they passed it to the Beggar Clan. However, what the old man received was somewhat different from what they actually wanted to express...
Small gap.
As soon as Liang Benlang arrived in Miao territory, he was dragged hard by the disciples in the gang. He almost knelt down and begged him to go home quickly. After all the good words he had said, he was about to say elder Wu to death. The old man moved his legs.
Come and take a look.
It's not that he has a cold heart and doesn't care about the Beggar Clan brothers. It's really normal to compete in martial arts. No one stipulates that you are only allowed to hit others and others are not allowed to hit you, right?
Liang Benlang was very open-minded about competitions between rivers and lakes. Unless he killed innocent people indiscriminately without respecting martial ethics, he would generally not bother to deal with such nonsense.
Besides, Yan Fengyun, the hero of the Beggar Clan, is also in the Miao territory, and the elders can't defeat him. At worst, they have to give up their face and let the deputy leader take over, so why bother dragging him into it.
"Who was Elder Wu hurt by?" Liang Benlang looked at the ruddy Elder Wu on the bed and asked somewhat speechlessly.
Elder Wu is actually very embarrassed. He was injured so many days ago. He has already healed the injury in these days. But the disciples below have blown the news out. If the old man comes back to see
He went to that pestle vigorously and vigorously, but he couldn't even reward each of them with a few sticks to add to the fun.
It's just embarrassing, but it's really not a small matter.
"Back to the gang leader, a master of swordsmanship has appeared in Miao these days, and he has killed many disciples in our gang. We came to investigate, but Elder Wu was accidentally attacked."
Elder Wu was too shy to say that the person who stood up to speak for him was Elder Quan. Although the two were both elders of the Beggar Clan, their attitudes towards the leader were completely different.
Elder Wu was always dull and would listen to whatever the gang leader said, never questioning or speaking back, but Elder Quan was different.
Due to his qualifications and martial arts character, Elder Quan respected Liang Benlang very much. However, as an elder of the Beggar Clan, he was very unimpressed with this old man who never cared about the affairs of the Clan and only thought about wandering around the world all day long.
Punishing evil and promoting good, and doing chivalry and justice can be a beautiful quality of a knight, but it would be outrageous if a knight took it as his job. They are real people, not stories told to others in a storybook.
After Elder Quan explained clearly the injury to Elder Wu, he added: "According to my speculation, this matter is most likely to be covered up. The man who used the sword did it deliberately, but in fact it was to conceal his true identity."
"Speak more clearly." Liang Benlang frowned, seeming to be concerned.
Seeing this, Elder Quan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Last time, Elder Wu and I tested it and found out that this man in the dark is not a lone swordsman as we had previously speculated. Instead, he may not be good at using a sword at all, and may even be a child.
In the next few days, some disciples were attacked and killed one after another. The injuries on their bodies were quite strange. Although they were fatal sword wounds, it felt like they were done deliberately to show us, so that we would think it was the swordsman."
Liang Benlang scratched his scruffy beard and asked: "It was intentional... Since you said it was the Miao people, do you have proof?"
"After Elder Wu was injured, the injury was very strange. After the swelling and pain disappeared, a strange mark was left."
As Elder Quan said, Elder Wu took off his shirt, revealing a crescent-shaped mark on his back. If he looked closely, he could see a faint green light flashing on it.
Liang Benlang frowned, as if he had thought of something. Elder Quan continued: "The injury is too strange. I have never seen it in the Central Plains, so I suspected it was Miao people's poison. I wanted to find a Miao doctor.
Let’s take a look, but I’m also worried that if it’s really the Miao people, this might be a warning, so it hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
Elder Quan spoke bitterly, but Liang Benlang put it straight: "The old man knows this thing, the life-seeking Gu, a secret that has not been passed down by the Lingyue clan in Miao territory."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were all filled with righteous indignation. Elder Quan was even more furious and said: "What a Lingyue Clan, we treat him as a friend, but he actually secretly killed my disciples of the Beggar Clan."
"This is a strange matter. Elder Quan, please be patient."
Liang Benlang was calm. The Miao Lingyue Clan and the Beggar Clan were incompatible with each other. There was no reason for them to turn against each other, let alone to the extent of secretly killing people.
But Elder Quan couldn't calm down. Those who were killed these days were all his disciples. Everyone had been begging in front of the temple since childhood. How could we endure this kind of friendship?
So Elder Quan immediately asked for orders: "Gang leader, I must ask them for an explanation on this matter!"
Liang Benlang nodded: "That's natural. I heard that the saint of the Lingyue Clan has arrived in Bishui City. The old man will go to the Lingyue Clan's business tomorrow and meet her."
Elder Quan was overjoyed: "Understood, then I will go and gather the disciples in the gang. The deputy gang leader is not in Bishui City at the moment. Do you want to wait for him to come back and we can go to the door together?"
"Wait a minute." Liang Benlang was a little confused. He quickly stopped Elder Quan, who was about to leave in a hurry, and asked: "Why do you need to summon the disciples? The old man can go alone."
Elder Quan said hesitantly: "It's not that I doubt the gang leader's martial arts, it's just that one more person means more strength. We don't have many people in Lingyue Company, but it's not easy to deal with the Gu technique, so it's safer for everyone to go together."
Liang Benlang couldn't laugh or cry: "Elder Quan has misunderstood. Just go and ask the old man about the matter. There is no need for you to get into a fight."
Elder Quan retorted excitedly: "What the gang leader said is wrong. Since the life-seeking Gu is a secret that Ling Yue has not taught, it must be someone from their clan who hurt Elder Wu. The so-called 'swordsman' must have been deliberately thrown away by them."
It came out just to divert our attention."
Having said that, Elder Quan was about to gather his disciples. Liang Benlang wanted to stop him, but found that several disciples in the room blocked his way intentionally or unintentionally. His expression froze slightly, and in the end he could only sigh.
