Chapter 473: Split up
??After listening to Ma Lu''s explanation of the cause and effect of the incident, Gu Qingyi felt that there were many twists and turns, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable.
??During this period, the entire Qingzhou martial arts community was frantically looking for the lotus bowl, but it was actually always within their reach.
?It took Gu Qingyi a while to digest the jaw-dropping news, and then he became excited again.
“Then as long as we rush to the Beggar Clan and return the lotus bowl in time, we can stop the war between the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen.”
"It''s not that simple," Ma Lu shook his head. "Although the Lotus Bowl has been found, the suspicion of Tianlongmen has not been eliminated."
?Gu Qingyi came from a family of divine hunters, and after a moment''s thought, he understood what Malu meant.
The four people they met in the dyeing workshop are now dead. They have lost the most important witness. There is no way to prove that they stole the things. Moreover, Hongxinghua, who was secretly in contact with Tianlongmen, did send people to Get the bowl from that small village.
?This actually further confirms that the Lotus Bowl was stolen by Tianlongmen.
Ma Lu continued, "Those four people in the dyeing workshop possess the Beggar Clan''s unique skill of capturing the dragon. I suspect that the young master they are talking about is probably also a member of the Beggar Clan, and he is also an important figure in the Beggar Clan, otherwise he would not be able to contact him. This level of martial arts.
??A name flashed in Gu Qingyi''s mind, and he couldn''t help but take a breath, "You...don''t you mean to say that Master Chu is that young master?"
Since he can be called a young master, he should not be too old, and there are not many people in the Beggar Clan who hold high positions at a young age.
?No one among them is more famous than Chu Qianyuan. In addition, most of the manpower Gu Qingyi used in previous investigations was borrowed from Chu Qianyuan. This can explain why they are always one step behind the mastermind.
?Ma Lu also felt that Chu Qianyuan was highly suspicious, but he had no evidence on hand.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Qingyi, "Qingyi, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"With our friendship, you can just ask," Gu Qingyi agreed without asking what the business was, and patted her chest.
“Okay, then the two of us will split up.”
…
?Ma Lu rushed to the Beggar Clan’s helm before sunset, and by this time the place was already crowded with people.
As the largest sect in the world, the Beggar Gang has a large number of people. Even in Qingzhou alone, there are already tens of thousands of Beggar Gang disciples.
One chief rudder could not hold it at all, and those disciples with less than three bags could only wait outside the gate.
?Ma Lu was not a disciple of the Beggar Clan, but he still managed to get in after showing the copper ring given by Chu Qianyuan.
Directly opposite is the martial arts arena, which is also the place with the densest crowds. There are several circles inside and outside.
?Ma Lu finally squeezed in, but at this time he discovered another problem - he didn''t know anyone inside.
Well, he recognized one person, Shopkeeper Wan from Wanji Coffin Shop, but other than that, they were all unfamiliar faces.
After all, he has only been to this plane four times, and the number of times he has dealt with beggars is even less, and more than half of the people he has interacted with are dead people.
?However, this did not trouble Ma Lu. He randomly picked up a Beggar Clan disciple nearby, established a relationship with him in a few words, and then asked the Beggar Clan disciple to introduce him to him.
"Ma Shaoxia, have you seen the skinny old man in gray over there and his unsmiling look? That''s the law enforcement elder of my Beggar Clan. "The one with windy ears and face like black iron next to him is the Stone Guardian, and behind the Stone Guardian On the other side is his son Shi Ruoyu. Just this year, Shi Ruoyu was promoted to the seventh generation disciple and has a bright future. "
“The fair and fat man opposite them is Elder Bai Baoyu. Elder Bai is a well-known wealthy businessman in Leizhou. He has a fortune and is very generous to his disciples.
“Privately, many people don’t call him Elder Bai, but God of Bai Wealth, because anyone who does things for him can get a lot of rewards even if they don’t get it done.
“And if it’s done well, Bai Wealth God will be rewarded heavily, so no matter where he goes, he will always be surrounded by a large group of people.
“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that Elder Bai is also one of the candidates for the next leader of my beggar gang. Haha, it’s interesting. These days, a wealthy businessman who is extremely wealthy can also become the leader of beggars.”
??The disciples of the Beggar Clan who were invited by Malu to recognize him seemed not to have a good impression of Elder Bai, and were very irritable during the introduction.
?After critically criticizing Bai Baoyu, he completely let go, and then pointed to the northwest, a middle-aged man eight feet tall, with a broad cheek and a square face, who stood as tall as a cypress, and said lazily.
“This is Deputy Gang Leader Jiang. He was the most active after Gang Leader Deng’s death. He first jumped up and down to organize Luo’s funeral for Gang Leader Deng, and thereby became familiar with many masters from the sect who came to express their condolences.
“After that, I organized the branch helmsmen to come and pay their respects, and I gained a lot of reputation. But in the end, I was embarrassed to stand up and say that I wanted to be the leader of the gang, and I found someone to recommend him in a roundabout way. It was really boring.”
“Then who is left?” Malu listened with interest.
"Um?"
“Yuan Xiaoyun, I heard that he is the second disciple of Gang Leader Deng and one of the three candidates.”
"Yuan Xiaoyun," the young disciple curled his lips when he heard the name, "That''s it. Compared to the other two, at least he doesn''t have any serious problems. He has always been conscientious in his work over the years. Old Gang Leader Deng praised him a lot during his lifetime. add.
“Only in terms of martial arts and ambition, he is not as good as his senior brother. Alas, the protectors are the best candidates for the leader of the Beggar Clan in my mind, but it is a pity that this is not his ambition.
“Many brothers in the gang have the same idea as me. We also went to find Protector Chu together and recommended him as a candidate for the new gang leader, but the protectors were unwilling to compete with the junior brother.”
“Oh, do the protectors have many supporters in the Beggar Clan?” Ma Lu raised his eyebrows.
"Of course." The disciple nodded and said firmly, "No one dislikes the Protector. He has great martial arts skills, is upright in his actions, hates evil as much as he hates it, and is also chivalrous and courageous. He is a role model for our generation."
?Ma Lu was noncommittal and asked the young disciple to introduce some other important figures present.
?In addition to the elders and helmsmen of the Beggar Clan, there are also many masters and celebrities from other sects present today, which is good news for Malu.
Because the person he was going to deal with next had a very high status in the Beggar Clan. If the other person really didn''t want to be reasonable, there was nothing Malu could do against him.
Even though his martial arts skills are now the best in the world and he is not afraid of anyone one on one, this is the headquarters of the Beggar Clan after all. If those Beggar Clan disciples swarm up, they can drown him in spitting breath.
?Ma Lu waited for a while, and the sun had completely sunk under the mountain. Some disciples of the Beggar Clan lit up torches, and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang also came out of the crowd, intending to speak a few words in front of everyone before the war started, and then build up his reputation.
?But before he could speak, another figure walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
