Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 46 Punishing the Heart
"W-what evidence..." Hong Qigong's voice trembled.

"This is the south of the Yangtze River, not too far away from Xiangyang and Lin'an. Some disciples of your Beggar Clan are scattered around the city, colluding with bandits secretly, and doing the despicable deed of abducting young girls and children."

"Some of them are cruel and merciless, even resorting to the method of harvesting and breaking branches."

Li Changlan's tone was aggravated when he said that Caisheng broke branches, and he obviously had some emotions.

Hearing this, Hong Qigong's expression suddenly sank.

"Collecting and breaking branches? What do you mean?" Guo Jing asked puzzled.

Li Changlan glanced at Guo Jing, knowing that Guo Jing had just left the grassland and came to the Central Plains not long ago, so he didn't know many common sense things, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"The so-called harvesting and breaking off branches is to break off people's limbs by violent means, make them into various disabled appearances, and then let them go to the street to beg in order to sympathize with the onlookers, and the targets of these villains are mostly children. .”

Mu Nianci pursed his lips lightly, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed a trace of unbearable.

"This?! How can they be so vicious and inhuman!"

Hearing Li Changlan's explanation, Guo Jing, who was originally a deeply ingrained image of a good guy, showed a rare expression of obvious anger, as if he wanted to kill this group of people immediately, so that he could get rid of the resentment in his heart.

Hong Qigong wanted to speak, but he saw Guo Jing's expression.

In the end, he still swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.

"I know that there are so many disciples in your beggar gang, and it is unavoidable for one or two scum to appear occasionally, but when the number has accumulated to a certain number, I don't think it can be explained with an example."

"If you don't believe me, you can find young girls, or some children, and use them as bait. You can hide your identity and follow them secretly."

Li Changlan didn't save Hong Qigong any face at all, and every word hurt his heart more than a word.

"By the way, Hong Qigong, I have to remind you."

"In your beggar gang, there is an elder named Peng who has mastered a kind of martial art called mind-stimulating technique, which can control other people's minds and minds with their eyes."

"As for what he does with this kind of martial arts, I don't need to say more."

now.

Guo Jing, who was originally fond of the Beggars' Gang because of Hong Qigong, became inexplicably disgusted with the word Beggars' Gang.

The way he looked at Hong Qigong, there was even an imperceptible subtle change quietly.

"Hong Qigong, is what my brother Changlan said true?"

When Guo Jing spoke, his hands were inadvertently clenched into fists.

Hong Qigong pursed his lips, unable to speak.

As the leader of the gang of beggars, what if he defended himself again?
Could it be that because he didn't do these things, can he, the gang leader, take them over with a single sentence, without taking half of the responsibility?

It's been a long time.

Hong Qigong smiled wryly, "Is it true that there is so much filth in my Beggar Clan?"

Li Changlan thought for a while and said, "I can't say that completely. There are still some good people among them. At least they have done something remarkable in the fight against gold."

"It's just that your beggar gang is different from other martial arts sects. The status of beggars is inherently poor. They have nothing to lose except a dead life. Compared with ordinary people, they have a lot less restraint and obsession in their hearts."

"Without constraints, naturally there is nothing they dare not do."

In the forest, several people have their own ideas in their hearts.

Only one thing is very similar.

That is, after Li Changlan expressed his last opinion, the few of them all quieted down and remained silent.

In Huang Rong's bright and beautiful eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in the dark.

she thought.

Li Changlan's move was ruthless enough, it was even more uncomfortable than killing Hong Qigong.

Killing is nothing more than nodding your head, but you have to kill your heart.

No matter how the scum in the beggar gang deceived Hong Qigong and used tricks, they did not dare to make their schemes too obvious.

How could it be possible that all of the more than 200 people killed were good people?

On the contrary, most of them should be bad people, and at most there are only a few who were killed by mistake.

But Li Changlan said so.

On the contrary, Hong Qigong became a big villain who listened to other people's slander and killed innocent people indiscriminately.

For a long time, Hong Qigong has always regarded himself as a chivalrous person, and he has branded himself as a good man who punishes evil and promotes good, and has also gained a good reputation in the world.

Li Changlan took out a few carefully arranged words and told him.

Hong Qigong immediately became ashamed, and all his self-cognition all along collapsed.

Li Changlan picked up the dog-beating stick that had fallen on the ground long ago.

He took a careful look at the dog-beating stick, turned his wrist, and made a few gestures. He always felt that he was holding a nondescript stick, so he lost interest and put it next to Hong Qigong again.

"Hong Qigong, if you want me to talk about chivalry, you have to learn from Guo Jing."

"Guo Jing not only understands the righteousness, but also dare not ignore the small details. No matter now or in the future, he will not change his behavior because of his own martial arts."

"There is no perfect person in the world, everyone has flaws."

"But if you really mention the word "good person", among the people I know around me, Guo Jing is well-deserved."

Hong Qigong's face was full of death, and he didn't want to argue with Li Changlan any more.

"Guo Jing..."

"He is indeed as you said, better than me, an old beggar."

After a sentence.

Hong Qigong smiled bitterly, closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, and waited for Li Changlan to take his life.

Guo Jing struggled extremely, for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue to intercede with Li Changlan and let him spare Hong Qigong's life.

Mu Nianci saw that Hong Qigong, who had been kind to her as a mentor, was really about to die at the hands of Li Changlan.

She said repeatedly: "Qigong, you haven't dealt with the scum in the beggar gang yet, so you just leave it alone?"

These words awakened Hong Qigong as if awakened from a dream.

Of course, he didn't believe that Li Changlan would help him solve the many remaining problems in the Beggar Clan. If he died like this, how could he have the face to meet the patriarchs of the Beggar Clan?

"Nianci, you are right, I can't die yet!"

Hong Qigong suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Li Changlan, and regained some vitality.

"Li Changlan, let me go for now, and wait until I go to Lin'an and Xiangyang to deal with those scum and appease the innocent victims."

"My old beggar came back and kowtowed to you in person to apologize, and then I will let you deal with it!"

Several people looked at Li Changlan one after another, wanting to know how he would answer.

With a somewhat indifferent gaze, Li Changlan slowly swept across Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

After a while.

Expressionlessly, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, tossed it lightly, and threw it to the ground in front of Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong was not angry with Li Changlan's actions, he bent down with great effort, picked up the small porcelain bottle with his left hand, and pushed away Guo Jing and Mu Nianci who wanted to help him.

Then, holding the antidote tightly in his hand, he walked into the depths of the forest without looking back, and disappeared with quick steps.

Guo Jing looked at Hong Qigong's disappearing back, and was speechless for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, he unexpectedly found that Li Changlan and Huang Rong had also disappeared a long time ago, and he didn't plan to stay here any longer.

"Nianci, is brother Changlan angry with me?" Guo Jing hesitated.
