East Factory Governor

Chapter 97

The old beggar was trembling, and it seemed that he couldn't even walk steadily, but he was extremely agile when asking for money. He grabbed Qin Shuhuai's sleeve and insisted on asking for money with his old face.

Qin Shuhuai gave him a few coins, but the old beggar said it was not enough.

Qin Shuhuai shook his arm lightly, and the old beggar supported his arm, his body swayed for a while, he seemed to be unable to fall, but still stuck to him like a piece of brown sugar.

After practicing martial arts for a long time, Qin Shuhuai could tell at a glance that this old beggar was not simple.

So I gave him another one or two.

The old beggar shook his head, "Not enough".

He was given another twelve taels.

The old beggar continued to shake his head, "Not enough".

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, took out a 100 tael bank note, and patted it on the hand of the old beggar.

The old beggar laughed, took the bank note, and walked away.

In his hand, there was an extra piece of paper.

Qin Shuhuai opened it and took a look, only to see a few large characters written in dragons and phoenixes on the top, "At midnight tonight, Zhenbei Laomiao Mountain, Mountain God Temple."

Qin Shuhuai frowned, a member of the Beggar Gang?

Midnight, Laomiao Mountain, Mountain Temple.

heavy rain.

In the dilapidated mountain temple, three ragged beggars gathered around a fire, drying their wet clothes.One of the oldest looks to be in his 60s, with gray beard and hair, shirtless, and loose skin.His two legs are quite eye-catching, one is extremely thick, with high calf muscles, while the other is born deformed, shrunk and thinner than his arms.Beside him was a wet cloth bag with nine pockets sewn into it.

The other two beggars were tall and burly, and one of them had a white left eye, as if he had a cataract.The other one looks more normal.There was also a cloth bag beside the two of them, each with eight mouths opened.

Qin Shuhuai entered the mountain temple, took off his bamboo hat, and took off his rain cape. He ignored the three of them, but first bowed to the cobweb-covered mountain statue.

The old beggar said, "Master Qin also believes in God?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Anyone with a lot of killing karma should be believed."

The old beggar asked, "Why?"

Qin Shuhuai sat by the fire, and said calmly, "Otherwise, it won't stop."

The old beggar laughed, "Then have you stopped now?"

Qin Shuhuai put the sword on the ground, and said again, "When I saw the three of you, I felt murderous again."

The old beggar laughed, "Hahaha, Protector Qin is really quick to talk. So, you already know why we are looking for you?"

Qin Shuhuai did not answer, but glanced at the cloth bag next to the old beggar, and said, "I've heard for a long time that the beggar gang uses cloth bags to distinguish between superior and inferior. Your Excellency has nine bags. I don't know what position you can get in the gang?"

The old beggar smiled lightly, and said, "Nine bags are just beggars. How can I teach little beggars how to beg for food on weekdays?"

The white-eyed beggar interjected, "Elder Chen is the elder of our northern beggars."

Qin Shuhuai had been in the world for a while, so he had naturally heard of the name of Chen Tiancan, the elder of the northern faction of the Beggar Clan.This person was born with a disability, and his legs were one big and one small, but with his broken legs, he had few opponents.At the beginning of the year, the beggar gang split into southern beggars and northern beggars. It is said that this person is one of the instigators.

Can't help teasing, "Since the split of the Beggar Gang, have even the rules changed? Now the elders of Chuan Gong are also in charge of business?"

Chen Tiancan also smiled and said, "The business was originally done by the law enforcement elders of the gang, but Mr. Qin's two good friends are a bit powerful, and they broke the old bones of the law enforcement elders. I can't walk now, so I have to come gone."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and said again, "So, my two good friends, together with my gang leader Chen, are all in the hands of your beggar gang?"

The old beggar said, "Guardian Qin is really smart. Elder Fan, who I was helping to enforce the law, happened to pass by Wuqing that day, and saw that the Demon Cult was killing innocent people indiscriminately, so I acted out of excitement. I didn't expect those two to be friends of Guardian Qin, so I specially sent the old beggar here to apologize to you and talk about a deal by the way."

Qin Shuhuai said, "It's fine to talk about business, but I always like to see the money and deliver the goods... Are you just talking to me with nothing?"

Chen Tiancan chuckled, and pouted at the white-eyed beggar.

The white-eyed beggar took out a pair of cymbals from his cloth bag, which were Buer Sanren's magic cymbals.

Chen Tiancan said again, "Don't worry, Protector Qin, your two friends have been well taken care of, but the injuries are a bit serious, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of bed for a month or two. As for the deputy head of your gang, Chen, can he help you?" It depends on what Guardian Qin wants."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Very good, now you can make an offer."

Chen Tiancan said, "Guardian Qin is really happy. Our gang of beggars is a bunch of beggars. We don't want gold or silver, we just want a painting from your gang."

Qin Shuhuai frowned slightly, and said, "What painting?"

"Three Rivers and Spring Moon Picture."

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while, then asked, "Do I have this painting?"

Chen Tiancan nodded confidently, and said, "Yes."

"In whose hands?"

Chen Tiancan smiled, put on the ragged clothes that were almost dry, and said lightly.

"Li Daliang."

Qin Shuhuai was silent, Li Daliang again?
Wang Chengen was looking for him, the Demon Cult was looking for him, and now even the Beggar Gang is looking for him?
Is it all for this painting?
I have never heard of the picture of Sanjiang Chunyue, so it should not be a rare painting.And for them, they will never spend so much energy on a painting.

In this way, there should be some shocking secret hidden in this painting.

However, why is this painting in the hands of Li Daliang?Cao Huachun should also know about this painting, why not go there?
Chen Tiancan asked again, "Guardian Qin, what do you think of this deal?"

Qin Shuhuai shook his head and said with a smile, "Elder Chen thinks highly of Qin too much. That Li Daliang and Qin have never met so far, so how can you ask him for this painting?"

Chen Tiancan chuckled, "Li Daliang has been practicing his soul-destroying skill in closed doors, so naturally you won't be able to see him. However, he should be able to come out soon. As far as we know, he is very grateful to you." Interested, so I will definitely meet you. At that time, you will have a way to approach him and wait for the opportunity to steal this picture."

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and said again, "Is this picture so important?"

Chen Tiancan grinned and said, "It's not important to others, but it is very important to my Beggar Clan. It's enough for Protector Qin to know this."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Okay, since that's the case, I agree to you. However, my deputy Chen, can you return it to me first?"

Chen Tiancan shook his head and laughed, "Don't worry about Protector Qin, Deputy Chief Chen is in a very secret place of our Beggar Clan, and he will never go out to spoil your good deeds. Our Clan also hopes that Protector Qin will become the leader of the Beggar Clan as soon as possible position, so that we can do more business.”

Qin Shuhuai's eyes froze. The Xindao Beggar Gang seemed to know a lot. This law enforcement elder surnamed Fan probably didn't happen to just pass by Wuqing, did he?
What secret is hidden in the "Sanjiang Chunyue Picture" that they have worked so hard to obtain?
