Chapter 304: Factional Conflict

Lu Hanjiang solved the appeal of the shopkeeper Zhu without any waves, and the person who was once found to deal with him was just an ordinary businessman, and his status was not much different from him, and he was able to successfully calculate that he was only because he was backed by the banner of Sword Casting Villa.

Now that the beggars are willing to help, it is naturally better to have more than one thing in Sword Forge Villa, pretending not to know about it, and giving up on the merchant without accident.

Shopkeeper Zhu took revenge in the same way in a very short period of time, and treated him in the same way, which can be regarded as giving him a sigh of relief.

However, afterwards, Shopkeeper Zhu had no intention of returning to his old business, as he himself said, he opened this inn for the elderly only because he was disheartened, and he didn't want to go back to the life of the past.

In order to thank Lu Hanjiang for his help, Shopkeeper Zhu provided him with room and board services for free, and answered all his questions about the knife.

Xingxuan Knife, Lu Hanjiang thought that this was just a weapon that looked special, but he didn't expect that there were such interesting things behind it.

Thinking that it is moldy in its own box, it is better to take it out and throw it on the rivers and lakes, and maybe it can lead to some unexpected stories.

However, Lu Hanjiang only wrote down this matter first, and his top priority was to deal with the problem of the beggars as soon as possible.

The sect with the largest number of disciples in the entire Jianghu Gang has countless internal mountains, and all kinds of bizarre factions are endless, such as those who enclose the land as kings, those who travel all over the world, those who stand to beg for food, those who kneel and beg for food, and so on.

In the final analysis, all the contradictions of the beggars are concentrated in the two factions at the top, the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction.

As the name suggests, the Pure Clothes Sect is a beggar gang disciple who likes to pass on clean clothes, and the core of the idea of this group of people is that they are the third major sect in the rivers and lakes, although they are beggars, but their status is equivalent to that of Shaolin Wudang disciples, and they must be decent enough.

And this so-called decency is not only reflected in clothing, they are not lacking in food, housing and transportation, living is no different from a big faction, living in a big mansion and a compound, eating big fish and meat, marrying a wife and taking concubines is also necessary.

On the other hand, the Dirty Clothes Sect is the disciples of the Beggar Gang who don't care about the way they dress, and these people think that the chivalry of the Beggar Gang is not a piece of clothing, a weapon, or a little food, but should lie in the heart.

They strictly abide by the precepts of the gang, wear shabby clothes, do not go along with the big families, have their own set of chivalry, and do not charge money for information from others, but exchange it for equivalent food, this group of people never cares about money, and their lives are poor, usually without long things.

The difference in values has led to many problems, and the struggle between the Clean-Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect has lasted for many years and has never been resolved.

The power of the two factions is between them, but it is always the dirty clothes faction that has the upper hand, because whether it is the former gang leader Liang Benlang or Yan Fengyun, who was the default heir by everyone, they are all supporters of the dirty clothes faction.

The two of them suppressed the battle between the two factions with their strong personal strength, but even so, the weight of the Pure Clothes Sect in the beggar gang was not low, which showed that this force really had a lot of supporters.

This time, the new "Lu Seventeen" gang leader caused a shock to the beggar gang as soon as he came out, not only because he crossed the deputy gang leader Yan Fengyun as a dark horse, but also because everyone found out that he was dressed up, either rich or expensive.

This gave hope to the Pure Clothes Sect, which had been oppressed for many years, because of the existence of the former gang leader and deputy gang leader, the power of the Pure Clothes Sect had been contained, but even so, among the eight Nine Bag Elders, they also won three seats.

Now that the entire elder of the Dirty Clothes Sect is dead, they are fighting hard for the vacated position of elders, if they succeed in getting the people of the Clean-Clothes Sect to the throne, then the forces of the two factions will be balanced, plus the current gang leader Lu Seventeen, I am afraid that the Clean-Clothes Sect will be able to turn over in one fell swoop and overpower this group of Dirty Clothes Faction.

Therefore, in the past half a month, the representatives of the Pure Clothes Sect in various places have actively responded to Lu Hanjiang's call, not only rushing to Qingshi City to show their loyalty, but also sending messages to the Quartet to help him eliminate Yan Fengyun's influence in the gang, hoping to completely help him sit firmly in the position of the gang leader.

Seeing that this group of people were so upright, Lu Hanjiang naturally reciprocated the favor and secretly promised to give them the position of an elder, so that the people of the Pure Clothes Sect would work harder for him.

It is said that these actions are obviously adding chaos to the beggar gang, and now the beggar gang is a broken house, if there is no strong backbone to support it, it is a matter of minutes to fall apart, and what Lu Hanjiang did was to continue to dig the foundation of the beggar gang at this stormy moment.

After all, he is the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, even if this gang leader is good, how can he drop it, and the court can still give him a good citizen award?

Moreover, the beggar gang is still the most disgusting and annoying sect of all the forces in the rivers and lakes.

The greater the number of people in this gang, the greater the instability of the imperial court, and all the disciples of the beggar gang are equivalent to the outcasts, and what is even more damn is that this sect has not withdrawn, one day the disciples of the beggar gang have been disciples of the beggar gang all their lives, and there is no possibility of leaving at all.

As long as the beggar gang exists, the instability of the whole society will be aggravated, and what is even more terrifying is that the number of people in this sect is so large that even if the army of the imperial court is dispatched, it will not be able to kill it all.

Therefore, in order to be able to stop this unstable demonic wind, Lu Hanjiang specially went to the rivers and lakes to become the leader of this beggar gang.

As for the method used, Yan Fengyun's performance over the past ten years is obvious to all, instead of desperately building a character to win people's hearts and fight an unequal war with the other party, it is better to give full play to Lu Hanjiang's own expertise and directly split the beggar gang.

The contradiction between the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Faction has been coming from a long time, and Lu Hanjiang can't do it and is not interested in getting them back together, since this is the case, it is better for him to directly control this group of people who are easier to entrap, and then rely on the righteousness of the gang leader to eat away at the other faction little by little.

Compared with the dirty clothes faction who almost has no desires and only pursues chivalry, the clean clothes faction is obviously more malleable.

Lu Hanjiang is committed to creating a new gang of beggars, and he wants to teach this group of disciples how to adapt to the arrival of the new era, face up to their own desires, dare to face their true selves, and make killing people and treasures and expanding their power open, open, and regular.

It is necessary to establish a lofty vision of unifying the rivers and lakes, strive not to miss any opportunity to take advantage of it, and do everything possible to persecute those possible hostile forces, and to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, kill people, and not let go of any force that can threaten the beggar gangs.

For those friendly forces, we must also be able to do both sides and three swords, and we must not be slack in the slightest, and it is a compulsory course for every new beggar to take the sheep by hand, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and know the people and the face but not the heart.

You must not talk about chivalry in vain, waste your life for the ethereal dream of rivers and lakes, rely on realistic actions to grab benefits for yourself, and give up the stupid thing of benefits for the sake of a little fame.

Lu Hanjiang wants to do his best to make the beggar gang infamous in the rivers and lakes, do all kinds of evil, people hate dogs, kick Wudang and punch Shaolin, step on the Xuantian Sect to reach the top of the first evil force in the rivers and lakes, and strive to achieve the three realms of talking about the color change, children stop crying, and people can't wait to eat their flesh.

Just as Wudang needs Shaolin to check and balance, the beggar gang that relies on the entire rivers and lakes can only rely on the rivers and lakes themselves if they want to completely eradicate this huge force.

The rivers and lakes are the soil on which the beggar gang depends, and when one day the disciples of the beggar gang develop from being chivalrous when they meet to the point where everyone shouts and beats, then this gang will naturally disappear.
