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

　　"Mr. Bai."

　　"Boss."

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

　　"Yes, boss."

　　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 I 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 Beggar Gang disciples while patrolling the streets. Chen Jie killed two of them, but more intense battles continued.

　　Both sides suffered heavy casualties for a time.

　　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 and 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 has always taken 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 were to attack Fourth Brother, would 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."
