Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

As Quan Guanqing sternly rebuked him, the Beggars' Sect disciples present all turned their gazes toward Murong Fu, and a murmur of discussion arose, as faint as mosquitoes and flies.

Seeing that he had successfully diverted everyone's attention, Quan Guanqing felt reassured and continued:

"Murong Fu, hehe, don't think there are secrets in the world. My Beggars' Sect has many disciples and the best intelligence capabilities in the world. Your plan to restore the Great Yan Kingdom cannot be kept secret from the world!"

Your Murong family retainers are currently recruiting soldiers and horses. Bao Butong, the master of Jinfeng Manor, has recently been running a security escort agency, and it is developing rapidly.

However, Feng Bo'e, the master of Xuan Shuang Manor, began to take in many adopted sons and teach them martial arts.

You, Murong Fu, murdered Ke Baisui, Sima Wei, and others in the martial arts world in order to seize their property and power, so that you could use them for your own purposes and plot a rebellion.

The reason for killing Master Xuanbei was to obtain the martial arts manual and to train his assassins!

And coincidentally, they colluded with Qiao Feng, the Khitan spy, to divide up the land of our Song people!

You tell me, is it yes or no?!

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu couldn't hold back anymore. Good heavens, Murong Bo really managed to pin all the blame on me.

But he didn't take a scoundrel like Quan Guanqing seriously at all.

After his initial shock, he pulled out a small handful of peanuts, popped two into his mouth, and then said:

"This...this person, you've gone to any lengths to slander my sworn brother, it's laughable."

First of all... you said that I, Murong Fu, want to revive the Great Yan, then which Great Yan are you referring to?

Is it the Great Yan among the Seven Warring States, the Former Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, or the Later Yan during the Five Barbarian Invasions?

The closest one is about 600 years old, and its location is still within the territory of the Liao Dynasty today, right?

By bloodline, I can indeed be considered a Xianbei, but what business is it of a Song person like you if a Xianbei wants to revive the Great Yan of six hundred years ago in Khitan?

Moreover, my Murong family has been a vassal state of the Central Plains for many years. When Suzhou is mentioned, who doesn't know that I am the representative of outstanding youth?!

Among the Hundred Family Surnames, there is one with the surname Murong.

My mother, grandmother, and even my ancestors were mostly from the Central Plains.

What, you, Master Quan, are trying to label me as an alien race just by talking nonsense?

I advise you not to say things that are detrimental to unity.

Murong Fu waved his paper fan, took another sip of tea, and continued:

"As for those so-called gang leaders and masters you mentioned... what evidence do you have?"

To insult someone's innocence, one should at least have some decent evidence, like the two letters Mrs. Ma produced, which at least showed some stance.

You're trying to make me, Murong Fu, take the blame just by opening and closing your mouth.

Besides, wasn't your Deputy Chief Ma also killed by this adulterous couple?

Afterwards, they could pretend that he was killed by Vice Chief Ma's "chokehold grappling technique" so that they could frame me, Murong Fu?

"Heh, you really think you can take me, Murong Fu, as a fool?"

Then Murong Fu looked at Qiao Feng and said loudly:

"Brother, when you execute those two murderers who plotted against Deputy Chief Ma, let me also slash them a couple of times or poke them a couple of times. Otherwise, all the thieves in the world will really think I, Murong Fu, am made of clay!!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his Canhe Finger, which struck Quan Guanqing's feet, instantly piercing through two bluestone slabs and emitting wisps of cold air.

Quan Guanqing was so frightened that he took two steps back, his face turning pale.

Murong Fu laughed heartily, sat back down in his chair, and said, "As for my subordinates Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e..."

What, you won't let us do business or run a security escort agency?

Is Feng Bo's training of his subordinates a recipe for disaster?

That's for escorting goods. The world is dangerous these days, how can you escort goods without capable subordinates?

I'm afraid that during the transport, we might be stopped by Chief Quan again, who might say that the caravan is full of his goods and question us about why we put his goods on the Murong family's seal.

Alas...human nature is treacherous; we must be wary.

Murong Fu refuted Quan Guanqing's claims one by one, and even made insinuations against him. In addition, Murong Fu's skill of passing through stone slabs from a distance was so terrifying that everyone trusted him very much, while Quan Guanqing became a clownish figure.

But Murong Fu knew that it was a fact that his elder brother was a Khitan, and the other side had irrefutable evidence.

But given Qiao Feng's control over the Beggars' Sect, suppressing this matter would be too easy; after all, faith is inanimate, but people are adaptable.

Qiao Feng can be said to have grown up in the Beggars' Sect. Back then, Wang Jiantong tested him with three major challenges and ordered him to make seven great contributions to the Beggars' Sect before passing the leadership to him. He can be said to have been the most difficult to become the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and also the most righteous one.

Moreover, he himself was a peerless martial artist and a man of great righteousness. The Beggars' Sect needed him, and the Song Dynasty also needed him.

However, Qiao Feng was an upright and honest man. For the first ten years or so, he had been fighting against the Liao and protecting the Song Dynasty. He had witnessed too many Khitans killing civilians, even women and children. Therefore, he regarded the Khitans as wolves and dogs, inhuman beasts. When he saw the letter, he realized that he couldn't get over his own conscience. Even if more than 50% of his brothers supported him, he would not be willing to become the leader of the Beggars' Sect...

Quan Guanqing originally wanted to use Murong Fu's alien identity and the recent murder cases as leverage, but seeing that he couldn't get through to Murong Fu, he said he would return to the letters and ask the oldest leader, Fang, to check them.

After removing the sealing wax on site, Chief Fang frowned and said, "It is indeed Chief Wang's handwriting, but..."

The contents shocked him, leaving him speechless for a long time. He knew the Beggars' Sect's success was entirely due to Qiao Feng, and this incident...

What will become of our Beggars' Sect...?

Quan Guanqing then read the two letters aloud to the members of the gang, and ordered someone to record them for backup. Of course, Xuan Ci's name was not read aloud, as he was the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the matter was of great importance.

Subsequently, the letter was handed to Qiao Feng by Chief Fang, and Qiao Feng first looked at Chief Wang's handwritten letter.

"A decree to Vice Chief Ma, Transmission Elder, Enforcement Elder, and all other elders of the Beggars' Sect: If Qiao Feng does anything to befriend the Liao, betray the Han, aid the Khitan, or suppress the Song Dynasty, the entire sect must immediately join forces to kill him without fail. Poisoning or assassination are both permissible, and those who carry out the act will be rewarded without punishment."

Written by Wang Jiantong himself.

After reading Qiao Feng's story, I suddenly realized something. At that moment, Quan Guanqing was recounting the Yanmen Pass incident.

It is said that thirty years ago, the martial arts world of the Central Plains received news that Khitan warriors were coming to the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains to steal martial arts techniques in order to train soldiers to invade the Song Dynasty.

So everyone elected a leader to lead a group of martial arts masters to intercept and kill the Khitan warriors at Yanmen Pass. They easily killed many Khitan warriors, and then a Khitan couple carrying a child arrived.

They killed the woman, but were slaughtered by the Khitan man. In the end, the Khitan man left Khitan characters in a boulder outside Yanmen Pass, and then jumped off a cliff with his wife's body in his arms, committing suicide.

However, during the journey, he discovered that his child had only stopped breathing and was not dead. So, he accurately threw the child onto the survivor during the fall. Master Zhiguang, who was involved, could not bear to kill the baby, so he entrusted the child to Qiao Sanhuai, a farmer at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, for adoption.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's eyes reddened, and he raised his head.
