As the female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang gradually began to speak up, the Town Martial Office began to receive more and more information and finally found some reasons to start searching the places of the Dragon Serpent Gang.
Of course, on the surface, it was to search for evidence based on some complaints from the female disciples.
But in reality, it was an opportunity to search for the ledger.
However, they searched until evening and still hadn’t found the ledger.
Zhang San also came to help, only to discover that in a deserted courtyard, there were booming sounds.
It was as if someone was demolishing a house.
Zhang San cautiously approached and discovered that it was Ximen Jinxing who was shattering a rockery in the courtyard with punch after punch.
Then she proceeded to crush the marble floor tiles one by one.
Watching the white-haired beauty act so violently, Zhang San was somewhat silent and even more shocked.
After Ximen Jinxing had vented all the dissatisfaction in her heart within the courtyard, she felt somewhat better.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she turned to leave when she suddenly noticed Zhang San standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Military Chief Zhang, I... I..."
Zhang San smiled and gestured with his hand, quietly saying, "It’s okay, I have already seen some of the complaints from the Dragon Serpent Gang’s female disciples, I understand why you’re upset."
Zhang San took Ximen Jinxing out of the courtyard, whispering to her.
"I know what’s on your mind, so I have a plan."
"What plan?" Ximen Jinxing asked curiously.
Zhang San said, "I plan for all of us to chip in a little money, then send all these pitiful female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang back home. We’ll give them a little money too, so after they return to their hometowns, they can live independently, either by buying some property or starting a small business. In any case, as long as they can survive."
Hearing this, Ximen Jinxing felt touched.
She knew that Zhang San was not only handsome but also especially kind to others.
When everyone else saw this situation, they only felt righteous indignation, but Zhang San alone thought of a solution to the problem.
"But... will the Dragon Serpent Gang let the people go?"
Zhang San sneered and said, "The Dragon Serpent Gang is in internal conflict now, and these female disciples don’t have much fighting power. They’d be only too happy to get rid of these women who only eat but can’t provide any value. Moreover, if they dare not give the people Town Martial Office demands, they are going to be in big trouble."
At this point, Zhang San suddenly remembered something and cautioned, "There’s one very important thing, we can tell everyone about our plan, but we cannot let the Wen Family know, understand?"
Ximen Jinxing didn’t quite understand why the Wen Family couldn’t know about this matter.
But she nodded anyway, indicating she understood.
Afterward, Ximen Jinxing told everyone about Zhang San’s plan.
Faced with such a group of innocent and vulnerable women, everyone was willing to contribute.
However, this time the Town Martial Office had brought over five hundred martial artists, and naturally, not all of them were of one mind.
Plus, although the people from the Wen Family generally followed Wen Ruchu, they were not his subordinates.
So, quite quickly, Wen Ruchu also received this intelligence.
At that moment, Zhang San was discussing the specific amount with everyone when Wen Ruchu immediately came over, smiling playfully and asked, "What’s up? I want to be involved too."
In that instant, many people present had a cold expression on their faces.
Zhang San sighed helplessly and then explained the intention of everyone wanting to pool money to help the female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang return to their hometowns.
Wen Ruchu had now learned to be savvy.
Whatever Zhang San told me to do, I’d be sure not to do it, or at least not do it properly.
But as long as it was something Zhang San didn’t want me to do, something he didn’t want me to be involved in, I would inevitably get involved, and do so fiercely.
"No matter how much it costs, I’ll pay for it!"
Upon hearing Wen Ruchu’s words, Zhang San frowned, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Ruchu.
"Military Chief Zhang, I know everyone is not wealthy, not like me, born into the Wen Family, my Wen Family has plenty of money!"
At this moment, Wen Ruchu’s face was filled with triumph, as if the small amount of money spent had earned her a tremendous merit.
The stifled Zhang San could only nod reluctantly.
Watching Zhang San grit his teeth in secret, Wen Ruchu couldn’t describe how joyful she felt inside.
After leaving, Wen Ruchu couldn’t help but reflect inwardly.
Indeed, one must travel far and wide, see more of the world, and meet more people to improve oneself.
If it had been back in the Capital, I would never have been so shrewd.
The Wen Ruchu of now felt her intelligence had been elevated within the Dragon Serpent Gang, which was about to see daylight.
After Wen Ruchu left, Ling couldn’t help but smile and asked Zhang San, "Is it fun to bully a fool?"
"The fool insists on coming to me to be bullied, I can’t even stop them!"
At that moment, many people present were still puzzled.
Zhang San said with a smile, "Do you know why I didn’t want you to let the Wen Family know? With over five hundred people here, how could there possibly be no leaks?"
"So Wen Ruchu must think there’s something to gain from this affair. That’s why she insisted on coming over to snatch it. But in the end, this matter is only about us wanting to help the many pitiful women in the Dragon Serpent Gang. It doesn’t count as our merit, nor does it benefit us in any way. But now, someone has appeared, how nice."
It was then that everyone understood, looking in the direction Wen Ruchu had left.
No matter how you looked at it, that straight-backed figure seemed utterly foolish.
Meanwhile, Ximen Jinxing watched as the rising sun shone on Zhang San’s face.
As if he could be etched into one’s heart just as beautifully.
At the same time, Little Fox, who had been reading at the Corpse Nether Sect’s Scripture Pavilion all night, continued to search through the sect’s scriptures.
Fang Xiang was also helping Little Fox find some scriptures that were very insightful about the human body.
But as the day brightened, Fang Xiang’s patience was almost worn out.
Finally, he threw the few remaining scriptures onto the ground in frustration.
"Miss, they are too much! The master has been good to them, and this is how they treat you! Let’s go! We’ll return now, tell the master, and let him decide how to deal with these people of the Corpse Nether Sect!"
Fang Xiang knew that if the people of the Corpse Nether Sect were willing to help, they could quickly find all the scriptures Little Fox needed.
But because no one cared, Little Fox and he had to spend a lot of time searching for books.
Little Fox chuckled and whispered, "Uncle Fang Xiang, you should rest for a while. I’ll do it myself; after all, we’re almost done. I came here to learn, and their attitude doesn’t matter. Right now, remembering the contents of these scriptures is what’s important."
With that, Little Fox continued to flip through the scriptures obediently, memorizing every word and sentence.
Fang Xiang looked around the vast Scripture Pavilion and felt very displeased.
When I return, I will definitely complain!
