Chapter 225: Chapter 120 Chen Jiusi: Whoever Kills My Brother, I Must Kill Them!_6
This situation can’t just lie there!
Originally intending to calm the matter down, now it looks like it’s an unending battle with the Beggar Sect!
Thinking about it, Peng Shizhong charged out with his men.
Chen Jie watched Peng Shizhong and his group from behind, always feeling that things were very complicated.
Chen Jie thought about it, looked at the blood-stained clothes on Deng Guangming, and said to Zhou Chu, “Go to Fourth Brother’s place and find a set of his clothes. Fourth Brother was always so clean; he should be clean even in death.”
Chen Jie sent someone to change Deng Guangming into new clothes, and then he saw the wounds on Deng Guangming’s body.
...
The wounds were actually slanted upward stabs. This angle?
Zhou Chu also saw the problem and said, “This assassin seems to have been ambushing in the grass and stab upward as Fourth Brother passed by.”
Chen Jie squinted his eyes and immediately went to look at the account book, each entry detailed and precise.
Auditing, led to the docks?
Ambushed?
Pig iron?
Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, adept at using the iron sword.
Strike from below.
How puzzling the case seems.
Chen Jie thought about it, his brows deeply furrowed; this matter seemed not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
While thinking, Chen Jie waited until nightfall.
At home, there was no need for him to worry. Su Yunjin virtually lived at Third Miss Hua’s tofu shop now, and Ruirui was absolutely fond of tofu pudding, drinking it daily.
And Third Miss Hua, this sister-in-law, was really great. Discovering Su Yunjin practicing martial arts, she even offered her guidance.
Even Daisy started to learn martial arts from Third Miss Hua, throwing punches with the proper form.
Therefore, Chen Jie was not worried about home security. Even if a character like the Thirteen Grand Protectors came after Su Yunjin, Third Miss Hua could protect her.
It must be said that his elder brothers and sisters-in-law were all very supportive.
It eased Chen Jie’s worries.
Chen Jie and Zhou Chu kept watch at home, anxious in their hearts. Why hadn’t Peng Shizhong and his men returned after such a long time?
They waited like this until late at night when suddenly a noisy commotion arose outside.
Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were startled, then saw a group of Fishing Guild underlings escorting a few people back.
Chen Jie saw at the front of the group, riding a horse, was Peng Shizhong.
The two immediately went to greet them, and following behind were Qin Ying and Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng, escorting Peng Shizhong back.
Chen Jie and his companion approached, only to discover, to their horror, that they were bringing back three people.
Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong!
Seeing the severe injuries of these three, Chen Jie and his companion were dumbfounded. What happened?
Hadn’t you gone to pick a fight with the Beggar Sect?
How did it turn into this situation?
Both of them were baffled, but then Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng halted their horses and saluted Peng Shizhong with a fist, “Sect Master Peng, we will escort you this far. Go back and heal properly. Oh, and the battle at Nan Lake in two days’ time?”
Peng Shizhong replied, “Hmm, no worries, White Tiger Hall can handle it!”
Hearing this, the two looked at Chen Jie and Zhou Chu and said, “Alright then, that’s settled. We’ll be leaving first.”
Saying this, the two turned and left.
At that moment Peng Shizhong extended his hand, and Chen Jie quickly caught Peng Shizhong, without expecting that Peng Shizhong, upon touching the ground, vomited a mouthful of blood.
At this time, Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng looked back.
Peng Shizhong immediately said, “Don’t let them see my weakened state.”
Chen Jie quickly shielded Peng Shizhong with his body and then asked anxiously, “Godfather, what’s wrong with you?”
“First, get your three sworn brothers inside, we’ve walked into an ambush by the Beggar Sect.”
Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately instructed Zhou Chu to arrange for the three sworn brothers, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Lu Rong, all seriously injured.
A group of people carried the three into White Tiger Hall.
Chen Jie ordered, “Go fetch Uncle Fu and the Twelve Eagle Guards, and have those thirty strong crossbows ready. White Tiger Hall is closed to visitors tonight, anyone who dares to approach, kill!”
“Yes!”

People around him immediately went to prepare, and at this moment, Chen Jie quickly helped Peng Shizhong into the house.
Peng Shizhong said, “Go, third drawer of my cabinet, there is Healing Medicine, bring it to me.”
“Yes.”
Chen Jie, hearing this, quickly fetched the Healing Medicine.
Once the medicine was brought over, Peng Shizhong swallowed it and immediately began to meditate and heal.
Chen Jie then went out to inspect the defenses of White Tiger Hall and also to check on the injuries of his three brothers.
All were severe.
Zhou Chu said, “Having taken the Healing Medicine, they have all gone to sleep.”
Chen Jie said, “What exactly happened that it became so tragic?”
The two stood guard outside. After a long while, Peng Fu came over and said, “The master wants to see you.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu immediately went to Peng Shizhong’s room.
Peng Shizhong looked pale, half-reclined on the desk, with a cushion supporting his back.
Seeing Chen Jie and his companion, he said, “I know what you’re thinking. We walked into an ambush.”
Peng Shizhong immediately recounted the events. It turned out Peng Shizhong led men to the Beggar Sect’s Headquarters, only to find a few little beggars inside. Upon inquiry, it was learned that the old beggar and others had gone to inspect salt factories at Nan Lake.
Peng Shizhong forthwith made for Nan Lake, but on the way, they ran into an ambush from the Beggar Sect.
In the midst of the battle, Feng Xuan and Zhou Peng were equally matched, while Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong pressed Feng San in their fight.
At that moment, the old beggar showed no sportsmanship, suddenly rushing out of the grass; with one palm, he significantly injured Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong. Feng Xuan, overwhelmed by Zhou Peng and Feng San’s pincer attack at the same time.
Peng Shizhong was also clashed with the old beggar.
The two were evenly matched in strength, but in this battle, Peng Shizhong found that the old beggar had improved drastically, and in the end, he even used a Killing Move!
In a single stroke, he inflicted heavy injuries on Peng Shizhong!
“A Killing Move?”
Zhou Chu and Chen Jie were very puzzled about which Killing Move could severely injure one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors in one shot.
Peng Shizhong’s eyes revealed a look of fear at this point.
“The long-lost ‘Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!'”
“What!”
