However, these have nothing to do with Jiang Weichen. His previous experiences have made him dislike the Beggars' Sect.

After hearing the news, Jiang Weichen was not sure whether this disciple was strong or not.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to rescue Uncle Zhou’s family.

Go out and turn yourself in, and let others release Zhou Shengwang's family?

Jiang Weichen would not be so stupid, nor would he put his life choices in the hands of others.

Jiang Weichen had no choice but to resort to a brutal method since he couldn't think of any solution.

Although Uncle Zhou is fine now, if I don’t show up for a long time, the Beggar Gang disciples may kill Uncle Zhou to vent their anger.

Then I can only come forward to warn him. As long as I am not caught, Uncle Zhou should be fine.

But Uncle Zhou’s life cannot be guaranteed.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry. If you die, I can only avenge you."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Weichen no longer hesitated and went to inquire about the news and make preparations.

As night fell, Jiang Weichen came to the residence of a minor official.

This clerk was one of the clerks who had gone to Xinghua Village to collect taxes before.

It was also during that time that my grandfather was so angry with him that he fell seriously ill and did not survive that winter.

A few minutes later, the noise subsided and Jiang Weichen walked out.

Then he quickly rushed to the beggar leader's original residence.

The new disciple Yishang lived in the beggar leader's house.

Jiang Weichen came to the front of the house and heard a sound from inside.

"It's been seven days, and you still haven't found that little beggar? What use do I have for you?"

"Sir, this is not our fault. That person left a month ago and hasn't appeared since. He should have left Lotus Town."

"Forget it then. Since we can't lure them out, there's no point for Zhou Shengwang and his family to stay alive.

Tomorrow you go to the county government office and tell him to get the murder conviction on him. I will return to Yangcheng tomorrow."

He volunteered to handle this matter just to gain experience.

It's not like I really want to avenge the beggar leader. If I can't find the murderer, I'll just find a scapegoat.

Moreover, Zhou Shengwang was not completely unrelated to the beggar leader's death.

"Yes, sir, I don't know what I mentioned to you before..."

"From now on, you will be the beggar leader of Lotus Town. I don't need to tell you who should receive the annual tribute, right?"

"Then I will definitely leave it to you, sir. I will definitely follow your lead."

"Okay, you can leave now. I need to rest."

Chapter 20 Shock

Jiang Weichen, who was outside the house, heard this and quickly moved aside.

Watching the middle-aged beggar with a limp on his right leg leave.

Jiang Weichen narrowed his eyes slightly. They were indeed birds of a feather, exploited and oppressed at every level.

After the man left, Jiang Weichen knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The disciple opened the door, looked at Jiang Weichen and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"Sir, I am from the village. I heard today that you are looking for a little beggar.

I asked around and found someone in our village who looks very similar to the one you're looking for."

The disciple in the bag asked, "Which village are you from? Take me there tomorrow. If you are sure, I will give you ten coins as a reward."

In his opinion, ten cents was a lot for a country bumpkin.

He saw many country bumpkins grinning at the mere sight of them getting a penny or two.

I thought the man in front of me would react the same way when he heard ten cents, but I didn't expect his expression to not change at all.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

"Sir, he came to our village more than half a month ago, with disheveled hair and holding a knife."

Jiang Weichen spoke as he approached the disciple who looked young, perhaps even less than twenty years old.

When the distance was less than one meter, the disciple sniffed and suddenly smelled the smell of blood on Jiang Weichen.

He immediately realized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary countryman. Realizing that something was wrong, he wanted to step back.

But it was too late. The two sides were too close to each other, and Jiang Weichen had already drawn his sword. A slanting upward swing of the sword directly scratched the group of disciples who had no time to dodge or resist.

The disciple retreated back into the house and looked down to see the long wound on his chest.

He picked up the stick next to him and saw Jiang Weichen raising his knife to chop at him.

He had to hastily raise his stick to block, and the knife and stick collided.

The machete didn't cut through the stick, only leaving a small gap.

When Jiang Weichen saw this, he thought to himself: The knife is still not sharp enough.

But the opponent's wooden stick was indeed strong.

Jiang Weichen had previously practiced his swordsmanship in the wild by chopping down trees, and he could cut anything much thicker in half with one stroke.

The group of disciples fell on the couch, and Jiang Weichen was shocked and took a few steps back.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

A bag of disciples covered their stomachs, knowing that they would not survive.

I was caught off guard at the beginning and was directly cut in the stomach by the knife. Otherwise, this guy would not be my opponent.

Jiang Weichen was shocked back and was slightly shocked, but fortunately he caught the enemy off guard and succeeded in the sneak attack.

This man can repel me with a stick in one hand. He is stronger than me and he uses a stick, so he may have learned stick techniques.

If the sneak attack had not been successful, a life-and-death fight would have been inevitable.

I just don't know if this person has cultivated internal strength. He wondered whether he used brute force or internal strength to repel me just now.

Jiang Weichen didn't waste any words and took advantage of his illness to kill him.

He stepped forward again with the knife, followed by a chopping move.

It was blocked again, but Jiang Weichen followed up with another head-wrapped knife move.

If it was a normal fight, Jiang Weichen would not be able to use this move due to the height difference.

But now that he was lying on the couch, it was easy.

Although the head-wrapped knife attack failed, it cut his neck.

The continuous intense exercise caused something in the disciple's stomach to flow out from the wound in his abdomen.

He no longer had the strength to resist.

"Tell me, who are you? Let me die knowingly."

Looking at what was flowing out of this man's stomach, he knew that he had no power to resist and said:

"You shouldn't have implicated Zhou Shengwang's family. If you want revenge, you can come after me, right?

Aren't you Beggars good at gathering information? You can come find me.

Why do you want to implicate others? Aren't you going to kill Zhou Shengwang's family?

Then I will make you die a miserable death first."

Jiang Weichen chopped off his limbs directly after he finished speaking. Because the knife was not sharp, he had to chop several times.

"Ah~ You, you are, the little, little beggar?"

"you guessed right!"

Jiang Weichen said and then chopped off his head.

The expression on his face froze instantly, with a look of disbelief, and more of a hideous look caused by the pain before death.

But Jiang Weichen's expression didn't change at all when he saw these.

He simply wrote a few big words in blood all over the floor.

These big characters were traditional Chinese characters that he had specially asked someone to learn before coming here.

After finishing writing, Jiang Weichen hurried out of the house. Seeing his neighbor coming out after hearing the noise, Jiang Weichen quickly ran towards the alley.

After walking around for a while, they quickly left Lianhua Town and headed towards Xinghua Village.

Jiang Weichen had just left Lianhua Town when the county magistrate, who had received the news, came to the house with a minor official.

I saw the blood all over the ground, the body cut into six, and the ferocious expression on his face.

The county magistrate was obviously startled and stepped back repeatedly, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the clerk next to him supported him in time.

The county magistrate placed his hand on his chest, feeling that he would have nightmares for the next few days.

After calming down, the county magistrate felt a little headache because another person had died.

Moreover, this person is a real disciple of the Beggars' Sect, unlike the Beggar Leader who is just a peripheral disciple.

"What are you looking at? Leave two people here, and the others go search for the murderer?"

After the magistrate finished yelling, he looked at the number of people and asked, "Where are Zhang Tie and Wei Xing? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

The number of people in Lianhua Town including the county magistrate, other positions and minor officials is less than ten.

How could a town like this possibly have so many officials?

Their existence was only to collect taxes, handle minor matters and serve as spies for the court.
