Chapter 475 Tongtian Village

Thinking of the fierce battle more than 20 years ago, the law enforcement elder still has lingering fears.

"Boss Deng had gathered more than 40 good fighters, while the whole village of that gang of evil bandits had only a hundred or so men.

"Alas, I thought that with our skills, it would be easy to fight one against three, but I didn't expect that almost all of us would be injured in the end, and seven of us died."

Malu was concerned about something else. "Elder Lu, after you defeated that Taoist master, did you really kill all the other bandits in the village? Did anyone escape?"

The law enforcement elder shook his head and said, "This gang of bandits has committed many evil deeds and deserves death. We decided to kill them all before we went up the mountain.

"After Gang Leader Deng killed Ren Tongtian, he ordered us to search the mountain twice more to find out who was hiding in the mountain."

"What if there were bandits who were not in the village at the time?"

"Boss Deng also took this situation into consideration, so he left some people on the mountain before leaving, waiting to see if anyone would come back.

"These brothers have been lying in ambush on Wohugang for more than a month. They also captured several bandits from Tongtian Village and killed them all. There should be no survivors in Tongtian Village."

"Does Ren Tongtian have any descendants down the mountain?" Malu continued to ask.

The law enforcement elder shook his head, "As far as I know, Ren Tongtian has no wives, concubines, or children, and no descendants."

"Can Elder Lu be sure?"

"This..." The law enforcement elder hesitated, "Before we took action, we also checked this person's background. Although he is not a true Taoist, he is obsessed with alchemy. In order to collect the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, he lived in seclusion in the mountains alone. He really has no descendants."

After saying this, the law enforcement elder was a little puzzled again, "Why does Young Master Ma care so much about a group of robbers from more than 20 years ago?"

Ma Lu said, "Because I speculate that the theft of your gang's lotus bowl is likely related to that gang of robbers."

"Ah?" Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was very surprised. "Didn't Elder Lu say that everyone in Tongtian Village had died? Besides, even if there were some that slipped through the net, they were just a bunch of bandits. How powerful could they be to steal our gang's treasure?"

"Of course they can't rely on themselves, but what if there is someone in your gang who is secretly helping them, and that person is in a high position?"

As soon as Malu said this, it caused an uproar again.

The elders and leaders of the Beggar Gang all looked unhappy, because Malu seemed to be suspecting that there was a traitor among them.

If Malu had not just found the lotus bowl and had not had Tieyimen standing behind him, someone might have already started cursing at him by now.

"Young Master Ma, who is the person you are talking about who is secretly helping the remnants of Tongtian Village? Do you have any evidence?" asked Deputy Gang Leader Jiang.

Malu spread his hands and said, "I don't know either, this is just my guess, I may be right, or I may be wrong.

"Anyway, Detective Gu has already gone to arrest the person. Everyone, please be patient. As long as she brings the person here, everything will naturally come to light."

"Master Ma, do you mean that because of your guess, all of us have to wait here?"

Although Deputy Gang Leader Jiang's tone was still polite, he was obviously a little unhappy.

Bai Baoyu, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke up. "Young Master Ma's purpose in saying this may be to make us wait here forever, and even suspect each other." "Hmm? Elder Bai, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Baoyu smiled slightly, turned his head and looked around. His gaze deliberately lingered for a moment on the Beggar Gang disciple who had been spoken to by Malu before, and then he continued.

“I know some of you don’t like me spending money everywhere, but I’m spending money for the good of the Beggars’ Sect. If I hadn’t spent money, you might have no worries about food and clothing because of your great martial arts skills, but the disciples below would have to starve and freeze.

"And if I hadn't spent money to plant an insider, you would probably be kept in the dark by now."

"What do you mean, Elder Bai?"

Bai Baoyu pointed at Ma Lu with the hand wearing the jade ring, "Do you know the relationship between Ma Shaoxia and Tianlongmen?"

"Ah, Young Master Ma is also connected to the Tianlong Sect."

“He has more than just a simple connection with the Tianlong Sect. A while ago, the late Deputy Sect Master Xu suddenly had a young disciple. And that disciple also happened to have the surname Ma, and he also had a divine detective by his side. Isn’t that a coincidence?
Bai Baoyu said quietly, "Master Ma, you returned the Lotus Bowl to my Beggars' Sect. We are naturally grateful to you. But I wonder if Master Ma can tell me how you found this Lotus Bowl?"

As soon as Bai Baoyu said this, the way the people around looked at Malu changed again. Although they did not immediately shout at him to kill, their eyes were clearly full of vigilance.

Malu knew that no matter what he said next, they would no longer believe him.

The most effective way to refute someone is never to refute his logic, but to attack his ass directly.

Because once the butt is crooked, it doesn't matter what you say.

Fortunately, Malu was well prepared for this. When he hugged Deputy Sect Leader Xu in the coffin in front of so many people and called him "mentor", he did not expect that this matter would not be spread.

However, before Ma Lu could speak, someone else said, "Young Master Ma is not a spy from the Tianlong Sect."

The person who spoke was still Chu Qianyuan, and this time he took two steps forward and simply stood in front of Malu.

Bai Baoyu shook his head. "Protector Chu, I know you have been helping this kid all this time, but you are upright and aboveboard, and everyone in the martial arts world knows that you are easily exploited by people with ulterior motives."

Chu Qianyuan snorted coldly, "Elder Bai, are you trying to say that I am easily fooled? I am not a child. Is it possible that I cannot tell whether others are telling the truth or a lie?"

"You can know a person's face but not his heart." Bai Baoyu said, "Besides, Chu Hufa and Ma Shaoxia have known each other for less than a month and have only met a few times."

"Elder Bai, are you sending someone to keep an eye on me?" Chu Qianyuan frowned.

Bai Baoyu also knew that he had let the cat out of the bag. He, Yuan Xiaoyun, and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang were competing for the position of the next gang leader. Of course, he also had to keep an eye on the daily movements of his competitors and the important people around them.

But bribing the members of the Tianlongmen gang to be their accomplices is one thing, and placing spies around your own people is another matter, and it cannot be discussed openly.

Fortunately, Chu Qianyuan did not dwell on this point. He just repeated it again, "I can guarantee that Young Master Ma is definitely not a spy from the Tianlong Sect!"

"Protector Chu..." Shi Ruoyu, who was standing nearby, was also from Bai Baoyu's faction. Seeing that Bai Baoyu was not in a position to speak at the moment, he wanted to step forward and take over the banner of questioning Malu.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianyuan's next sentence made him stunned, "Because Ma Shaoxia is my junior fellow apprentice."
