Chapter 414: Chivalrous and Righteous (Subscription Request)

Jia Huan did not rush to inform his immediate superior about this matter. The Yuezhou sub-rudder advocated Jin Liu, as he felt it was unnecessary.

The main thing is that he doesn't know the Wudang Taoist!

Even if Xiangtang successfully launched trade with the Jianghe Gang across the river, the leader of the Jianghe Gang deliberately avoided it and did not want to formally meet Jia Huan.

Likewise, Jia Huan never knew that the Wudang Taoist who had a fight with him by the river without using his inner strength was actually the head of the Wudang Sect, Taoist Master Chongxu.

When the trade with the Jianghe Gang got on track, Jia Huan and Brother Xiangtang became busy again.

It’s time to act chivalrous and righteous while still young, and become famous in the world!

A year and a half after Jia Huan traveled back in time, he took the Xiangtang brothers and took the initiative to surround the notorious Niutou Village in northern Hunan. He penetrated the entire village with a bamboo pole, killing three village owners and the remaining bandits. Dozens of people were killed or injured, and he became famous in this battle.

The peak strength he showed as a third-rate player in the world was recognized by his immediate boss, Zhang Jinbin.

"Not bad, brother Jia, you are very good!"

At the entrance of the branch hall, Zhang Jinliu showed a satisfied look on his face and kept saying: "I don't think you are young, but your martial arts has reached this level. It seems that you can participate in some Jianghu affairs!"

Jia Huan repeatedly expressed his compliments and asked curiously: "What kind of Jianghu affairs?"

"For example, clean up the water bandits in Dongting Lake!"

Zhang Jinjun said calmly: "These guys are a scourge, it's best to kill them all!"

"Captain, don't you have any ideas or actions on Junshan Island?"

Jia Huan didn't understand. As the saying goes, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?

Junshan Island, where the headquarters of the Beggar Clan is located, is located in Dongting Lake.

It can be said that the entire Dongting Lake is the core territory of the Beggar Clan from the perspective of the world.

Now Zhang Jinjun actually says that the water bandits in Dongting Lake are a scourge. Isn't this just making fun of others?

If they can't even clean up the water bandits in their core territory, is it necessary for the Beggar Clan to continue to exist? Isn't it just like a joke?

"Haha, the interests involved in Dongting Lake are too wide!"

Zhang Jinjun sneered: "How could the Yuezhou government and the surrounding landlords and squires not have any ideas?"

"Whenever outside business travelers pass by, how can they stop without drawing blood all over?"

"The energy and strength of these guys are no joke. The Junshan Island side is quite wary of them, so they shouldn't use too drastic measures to deal with them!"

Jia Huan 'suddenly' felt like a bright mirror in his heart.

Here, it is not just the power of the government and local gentry, but some high-level officials of the Beggar Gang are also involved. Only then can the Beggar Gang turn a blind eye to the active water bandits around them!

The reason why Zhang Jinjun didn't say anything was not only because he felt embarrassed, but also probably related to the increasingly fierce dispute between the dirty clothes sect and the clean clothes sect within the Beggar Clan.

It is estimated that he did not want Jia Huan to get involved in such internal disputes early.

Of course, Jia Huan is not very willing to participate.

In fact, he also guessed the general situation at this time. It is estimated that the leader of the Jingyi Sect within the Beggar Clan colluded with the Yuezhou government and local squires, which led to the situation where water bandits were raging in Dongting Lake.

Anyone who knows something about the internal situation of the Beggar Clan will know that the so-called Jingyi Sect is basically a powerful local presence, and it is normal for them to have interests connected with the government and the gentry.

As for why Zhang Jinliu wanted to clean up the Dongting Lake water bandits, it probably had something to do with his competition for the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan. At least on the surface, it was a great contribution to the Beggar Clan.

Naturally, Jia Huan fully supports him. Anyway, he wants to act chivalrous and righteous, no matter where he is!

He has been in contact with Zhang Jinjun for almost two years, and he has a pretty good impression on him.

Naturally, he was far inferior to the real beggar heroes in history, but Zhang Jinli, who was only in his early thirties at this time, had not yet completely cooled down the blood in his body, so he was not a purely profit-making creature.

It can be seen that in addition to wanting to climb up, he also wants to do something that will make him famous in the world and be beneficial to the local people.

For Jia Huan, this is enough and he cannot be too demanding.

But I didn't expect that the participants in this operation would also be Li Xiao, the four-bag disciple who was almost the deputy incense master in Huarong Incense Hall.

It's a pity that more than a year has passed, and this guy is still a disciple of Sibao, doing well in the Xiangtang next door. After all, he is a third-rate expert in the world.

When they met again, the man looked at Jia Huan with complicated eyes and was unwilling to communicate too much.

I guess I have been murmuring in my heart why no one from the Demon Sect has come yet, so that Jia Huan, a young disciple of the Beggar Clan, has gone from a two-bag disciple to a four-bag disciple like him in less than two years?

Moreover, he is also the incense master of Huarong Xiangtang, and his status is much higher than him.

As for the other four-bag and five-bag disciples, they are basically good at splitting the helm.

This time, it's obvious that Zhang Jinjun wants to do something big!

After a brief martial arts exchange and exchange, it was discovered that the five-bag disciple who participated had the strength of a third-rate person in the martial arts world, and was "on par" with Jia Huan.

There is no way, Jia Huan's overall strength at this time is, at best, a good player among second-rate masters in the world, and cannot reach the first-rate or even super-first-rate level in the world.

Under such circumstances, naturally you can't act too weird.

After all, 'he' grew up in the Huarong Xiangtang of the Beggar Clan since he was a child. His growth trajectory is traceable, and his sudden emergence as a genius can be explained by enlightenment.

But the progress in strength is too rapid, beyond ordinary people's understanding, it would be inappropriate.

Fortunately, the world of "Swordsman" can only be regarded as an ordinary low-level martial arts world.

Even if the masters have strong internal strength, outsiders cannot see clearly if they don't really fight.

If it is like the middle and high martial arts world, where masters can see the details at a glance, it will be dangerous.

Zhang Jinbie gathered his subordinates, who were still trustworthy confidants, all third-rate martial arts masters, and did not make any big moves, so naturally it did not attract special attention from the outside world.

On a dark and windy night, a group of people took a boat and went straight to the lair of the Dongting Lake bandits.

The Dongting Lake bandits, who were used to being arrogant, had no idea that there would be such a group of third-rate martial arts masters approaching?

When they noticed it, Zhang Jinbie took the lead and led Jia Huan and other confidants to kill into the lair of the bandits.

That night, it was really fun to kill!

Jia Huan deliberately separated from Zhang Jinbie and his group and carried out a separate and highly efficient killing.

With a bamboo pole in hand, it seemed to have turned into a spear in the hands of a fierce general. Blood flew everywhere and screams were heard everywhere. His men were almost invincible.

No matter whether they were ordinary water bandits or small leaders, they were all stabbed to death on the spot by the bamboo pole.

Even if they encountered one or two third-rate masters, they would just pretend to "play" with them for a few moves, and then stab them to death with the bamboo pole as usual!

The water bandits' camp was not small, with hundreds of them. They were fierce and even if they were caught off guard, they reacted fearlessly and were quite fierce.

Unfortunately, the water bandits who failed to form a gathering effect had little power to fight back against experienced third-rate masters and even second-rate masters.

Not to mention, there was a killing god like Jia Huan who wandered around without giving them any chance.

When the sky was slightly bright, the battle was over.

The water bandits in the water camp were almost killed.

From the inside of the water fort, a considerable amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and various valuable goods were found.

Even more than a dozen "hostages" and dozens of women who had been abused were found.

The gold, silver, jewelry, and various valuable materials were divided directly on the spot by Zhang Jinbie.

The dozen "hostages" would naturally be sent back to their respective homes as soon as possible.

But the problem is that it is not easy to place the dozens of women who were abused by the water bandits.

Although Zhang Jinbie is the leader of the Yuezhou branch of the Beggar Gang, he has no industry.

How to say it, it should be influenced by the Dirty Clothes Sect. They believe that beggars are beggars and should make a living by begging. If they have industry, are they still beggars?

Of course, not having industry does not mean that Zhang Jinbie has no money. On the contrary, the resources he can mobilize are probably not comparable to those of an average medium-sized landlord family.

But if he wants him to arrange for dozens of women who were abused by the water bandits and dare not and are unwilling to go home, there is no good way. He can't let them be female beggars.

If that were the case, it would be like getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

"Captain, send these poor ladies to Huarong Xiangtang. I can arrange it!"

Seeing Zhang Jinge in trouble, Jia Huan took the initiative to say, "I basically don't need the brothers of Xiangtang to live on begging. Instead, I still need a lot of labor!"

"These poor ladies can help with logistics, such as washing clothes and cooking. At least their survival is not a big problem, and there will be no gossip!"

This is true!

Whether it is doing hard labor or running around to maintain the order of the rivers and lakes, the brothers of Xiangtang need to be busy and run non-stop, so naturally they have no time to deal with logistics.

Anyway, Xiangtang has a large number of old, weak, women and children, and adding dozens more is not a big deal.

In addition, the brothers of Xiangtang are originally from the bottom, and it can even be said that they have rolled in the mud. How could they discriminate against these poor ladies?

Who knows, in the end, they can make up a few suitable marriages!

Anyone who knows something about the customs of the Ming Dynasty knows that the atmosphere of ethics here is very strict!

Soon, the famous Hai Rui and Hai Gangfeng in history will appear. They are the existences that dare to criticize the powerful minister Yan Song, and they are also the benchmarks of ethics in the Ming Dynasty.

If these ladies who have been rescued and have been harmed by the water bandits return home, they will probably not have a good end. This is really no joke.

Since Jia Huan wants to be a knight, he naturally can't watch them die!

Sure enough, Zhang Jinbie listened to his words and relaxed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's it, that's it!"

This sudden cleanup of the Dongting Lake water bandits caused a sensation in the two lakes. For a time, the reputation of Zhang Jinbie, the helmsman of the Yuezhou branch of the Beggar Gang, was greatly improved in the world.

At this time, with his reputation in the world, he was actually enough to serve as the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang.

Unfortunately, as a large gang in the martial arts world, the position of deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect cannot be taken only by having enough reputation, but also requires to demonstrate martial arts skills recognized by the brothers of the Beggars' Sect and fellow martial artists.
