Universe Infinite Canteen

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang's face darkened slightly, and he was still wondering which disciple was so blind that he chose to jump out at this time to steal his limelight.

But when he looked carefully, he found that the person who came was a young man he didn't know.

And the young man didn't have a cloth bag behind him, so he was obviously not a disciple of the Beggar Gang.

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang frowned and said, "May I ask your name, and which sect or school are you from?"

"My name is Ma Lu, and I have no sect or school."

After Ma Lu said this, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang frowned even more tightly, "No sect or school, then how did you get in? Are you a spy sent by the Tianlong Sect?"

When he said the second half of the sentence, his tone became gloomy, with a hint of chill.

"He is not a spy from the Tianlong Sect."

Before Ma Lu could speak, a voice spoke first, and the person who spoke also walked out of the crowd, and it was Chu Qianyuan.

Ma Lu bowed to him, "Protector Chu."

"Young... Young Master Ma, you must have something important to do here at this time."

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was a little unhappy after Chu Qianyuan's rebuke. In addition, from what Chu Qianyuan said, the matter of the boy surnamed Ma interrupting him was just over, which made him even more unhappy.

So he interrupted, "If there is anything more important than the upcoming battle, why not wait..."

"Yes." Ma Lu interrupted him again, then untied the package behind him and took out a small bowl from it.

He raised the bowl, and the next moment everyone's eyes were attracted to the small bowl.

When Deputy Gang Leader Jiang saw the small bowl in Ma Lu's hand, he couldn't help but take a breath and said in a lost voice, "Lotus bowl, boy, is that a lotus bowl in your hand?!"

"Yes, Gu Shenbu of Tieyimen asked me to return this lotus bowl of your sect to its original owner."

Ma Lu brought Gu Qingyi up, not only because he couldn't leave out a good partner when sharing the credit, but also because he wanted to continue to use the golden signboard of Tieyimen.

Because the person he was going to deal with next was in a high position and had many supporters in the Beggars' Sect, compared to him, a foreigner with no sect or faction and a suspicious origin, what he said was naturally easy to be suspected.

If he could be affiliated with Tieyimen, he could add more credibility to him.

After Ma Lu finished speaking, he took out the Shenbu Order of Tieyimen from his arms, which he asked Gu Qingyi for before breaking up.

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang took the Shenbu Order, checked it carefully in his hand, and had to nod.

"It's true, but aren't there only two detectives, Wen and Yuan, in Qingyang County? Where did this detective Gu come from?"

"Detective Gu is the third daughter of the leader of the Tieyi Sect, Gongsun," Malu said. "She was ordered by the leader to assist detectives Wen and Yuan in investigating the theft of the Lotus Bowl of the Beggar Gang.

"While detectives Wen and Yuan were in the open, attracting the attention of others, detective Gu was in the dark, taking the opportunity to retrieve the Lotus Bowl."

"Ah, is the daughter of the leader of the Gongsun Sect also in Yuchang County? Where is she now? Please invite her out to see her!"

When he heard that Malu was from the Tieyi Sect, the attitude of deputy leader Jiang immediately became much more polite, and even the address changed from boy to friend.

But Malu said, "Detective Gu, she is still busy with an important matter and will come over later."

"What's the important matter? ”

“Gu Shenbo found the thieves who stole the lotus bowl. They are now hiding in a dyeing factory in the city. Gu Shenbo went to arrest them. ”

“Ah, Gu Shenbo is alone? Isn’t it too dangerous? Those thieves are backed by Tianlongmen. ”

Ma Lu shook his head, “This matter has nothing to do with Tianlongmen.”

When he mentioned the dyeing factory, he was also observing the reactions of the people around him. He saw Chu Qianyuan’s expression moved, and then he turned around and pulled a Beggar Gang disciple and whispered a few words to him.

Ma Lu remained calm.

Deputy Sect Leader Jiang was a little surprised, “Young Master Ma said that Tianlongmen had nothing to do with this matter. This is unlikely. The person who stole the bowl has admitted that he was instructed by Happy Forest.”

“There is someone else who forced him, but he just used the name of Happy Forest to intensify the conflict between your gang and Tianlongmen. "

While they were talking, the law enforcement elder had already taken the lotus bowl from Malu and checked it three times over and over again.

Then he said nothing more, just nodded and said to Malu, "Thank you, Gu Shenfei, for retrieving the lotus bowl for the Beggars' Sect. I will reward you handsomely later."

After a pause, he added, "I owe you a favor. "

The first half of the sentence represents the Beggars' Sect's gratitude to Malu and Gu Qingyi, while the second half is his personal gratitude.

The Lotus Bowl was previously in his care, so he was naturally responsible for the theft of this Beggars' Sect treasure. Malu's ability to retrieve the Lotus Bowl also saved him from becoming a sinner of the Beggars' Sect.

This favor is indeed great.

Malu was not polite when he heard this. With his words, he would not have to worry about the ingredients this time, and maybe he could even take some seeds back.

It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish.

The secret medicine is so expensive, it is more cost-effective to grow it yourself, and there is no need to worry about supply shortages.

"In fact, I have a favor to ask for now." Malu continued.

"Young Master Ma, tell me."

"I want to know if there have been any tragic disasters in Yuchang County in the past 20 to 30 years, the kind that killed hundreds of people in one go."

"More than 20 years ago, there was a severe drought in Qingzhou, and more than a hundred people died. I'm afraid there were tens of thousands." The law enforcement elder recalled.

"At that time, the outside of Yuchang County was full of refugees, and the county magistrate was so scared that he didn't dare to open the city gate."

"I'm not talking about natural disasters, but man-made disasters." Ma Lu said.

"Whenever a natural disaster comes, it will inevitably be accompanied by man-made disasters. The refugees can't survive, so they can only become bandits. During that period, there were at least hundreds of bandits in Qingzhou, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

"The largest village on Wohugang, Shajiazhai, is a group of mountain people who can't survive. In the end, they can only run up the mountain to seek a way to survive. Their leader Sha Dingjun was also an old acquaintance of mine.

"This person has a good heart, but he was forced by the situation to take the mountain people up the mountain. They usually farm in the mountains, and only go down the mountain to rob when there is really not enough food.

"Compared with them, the group of bandits who went up the mountain before them were much more vicious. The bandit leader was called Ren Tongtian, and his men called him Tongtian Daoren.

"Although he claims to be a person from the outside world, he actually rapes, robs, and commits all kinds of evil. He also likes to make elixirs with living people. Hundreds of people have died in his hands.

"Finally, Gang Leader Deng couldn't stand it anymore, so he led a group of masters of the Beggars' Gang to fight against the bandits for a day and a night, and then he wiped out all the people in their village without leaving a single one.

"I also participated in that battle that year. I don't know where the Taoist Tongtian came from, but his martial arts are really amazing.

"I almost died in his hands. Fortunately, Gang Leader Deng rescued me in time and used my Beggars' Gang's unique skill, the Xiantian Chunyang Palm, to kill the bandit leader. "
