Chapter 225: Chapter 120 Chen 94: Whoever kills my brother, must be killed!_6

How could this matter rest!

Originally, I wanted to let it go and avoid further trouble, but now it seems there’s no turning back with the Beggar Clan!

Thinking about it, Peng Shizhong led his men and rushed out.

Chen Jie watched Peng Shizhong and his group from behind, *feeling that this situation was far from simple.*

Chen Jie looked at the blood-stained clothes on Deng Guangming and said to Zhou Chu, "Go to Fourth Brother’s place and find a piece of his clothing. Fourth Brother was always so neat and tidy in life, so he should be clean in death as well."

Chen Jie instructed someone to change Deng Guangming into new clothes and then noticed the wounds on his body.

The wound actually slanted upward. This angle?

Zhou Chu also noticed the issue and said, "The killer seemed to have been lying in ambush in the grass, waiting for Fourth Brother to pass by and then stabbed upward."

Chen Jie squinted and quickly glanced over the ledger; each entry was meticulously recorded.

Investigating accounts, leading to the docks?

Ambushed?

Pig iron?

Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, proficient in using an iron sword.

An upward strike from below.

*Why did this matter seem so enigmatic?*

Chen Jie pondered with a furrowed brow, *this matter seemed far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.*

With these thoughts, Chen Jie waited until evening.

There was no need to worry about home. Su Yunjin was currently staying at Third Miss Hua’s tofu shop, and Ruirui had a particular fondness for tofu pudding, drinking it every day.

Third Miss Hua, the sister-in-law, was indeed commendable. Upon discovering that Su Yunjin practiced martial arts, she even offered guidance.

Even little Ruirui followed Third Miss Hua to learn martial arts, and when practicing boxing, she was quite the figure.

Therefore, Chen Jie wasn’t worried about the safety of the home because even if the Thirteen Grand Protectors came to trouble Su Yunjin, Third Miss Hua could protect him.

One must say, his elder brother and sister-in-law were truly reliable.

They relieved Chen Jie’s worries.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu watched over the house, feeling anxious. *Why had Peng Shizhong and his men not returned after such a long time?*

They waited until it was late at night when there was suddenly a noisy commotion outside.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were startled, and at this moment, a group of young Fishing Guild members were seen escorting a few people back.

Chen Jie saw that the one riding at the front was Peng Shizhong.

The two immediately approached, followed by Qin Ying and Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng, who were escorting Peng Shizhong and his group back.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu went up to meet them and were appalled to see three people had been carried back.

Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong!

Seeing the three of them in severe condition, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were confused. *What was going on?*

*Weren’t they going to trouble the Beggar Clan?*

*How did things reach this state?*

The two of them were baffled, and at this moment, Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng stopped their horses and bowed to Peng Shizhong, saying, "Sect Master Peng, we’ve escorted you this far; go back and recover well. By the way, two days later at the Nan Lake battle?"

Peng Shizhong said, "Hmm, no problem; my White Tiger Hall can handle it!"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Chen Jie and Zhou Chu and said, "Alright, we’ll be going then."

Saying this, the two turned and left.

At this moment, Peng Shizhong reached out, and Chen Jie quickly caught him. Surprisingly, as Peng Shizhong dismounted, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Ying and Gu Qingfeng turned around.

Peng Shizhong immediately said, "Don’t let them see me in a weakened state."

Chen Jie immediately used his body to block Peng Shizhong and then said, "Foster father, what’s wrong with you?"

"First, carry your three sworn brothers inside; we were ambushed by the Beggar Clan."

Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately had Zhou Chu arrange for the three sworn brothers. Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong were all seriously injured.

A group of people carrying stretchers brought the three into the White Tiger Hall.

Chen Jie said, "Go get Uncle Fu and the Twelve Eagle Guards, and also prepare those thirty strong crossbows from the hall. Tonight, the White Tiger Hall will not receive guests. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed!"

"Yes!"

The nearby people immediately went to make preparations, while Chen Jie quickly supported Peng Shizhong into the house.

Peng Shizhong said, "Go to the third drawer of my cabinet and get the healing medicine for me."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately went to get the healing medicine.

After taking the medicine, Peng Shizhong swallowed it down and immediately began to meditate to heal his injuries.

Chen Jie then went out to inspect the defense of the White Tiger Hall and looked at the injuries of the three brothers.

They were all very serious.

Zhou Chu said, "After taking the healing medicine, they’ve all lain down to sleep."

Chen Jie said, "What exactly happened to make it so devastating?"

The two were on guard outside. After a long time, Peng Fu came over and said, "The master wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu immediately went to Peng Shizhong’s room.

At this moment, Peng Shizhong’s face was pale, half-reclining against the table with a soft pillow behind him.

Seeing Chen Jie and Zhou Chu, he said, "I know what you’re thinking, we were ambushed."

Peng Shizhong immediately recounted the events. It turned out that Peng Shizhong had led his men to the Beggar Clan’s headquarters, only to find a few young beggars. After questioning, he learned that the old beggar and others had gone to Nan Lake to inspect the salt factory.

Peng Shizhong immediately led his men to Nan Lake, only to encounter an ambush by the Beggar Clan on the way.

During the fierce battle, Feng Xuan and Zhou Peng fought to a standstill, while Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong pressured Feng San.

Then, the old beggar broke his martial ethics by suddenly striking from the grass, delivering a palm strike that severely injured Zheng Chuan and Lu Rong, leaving Feng Xuan caught between Zhou Peng and Feng San.

Peng Shizhong also engaged in a confrontation with the old beggar.

The two were equally matched, but during this battle, Peng Shizhong realized that the old beggar’s power had surged, and finally, he used a killing move!

One move severely injured Peng Shizhong!

"Killing move?"

Zhou Chu and Chen Jie were perplexed about what kind of killing move could severely injure one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors in a single stroke.

At this time, fear flashed in Peng Shizhong’s eyes.

"The long-lost Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

"What!"
