Chapter 971: Chivalrous Beggars
The beggar gang has always been a big gang in the rivers and lakes.
Although, in many waiting, he is not the strongest gang, but he must be the sect with the largest number of people among all the martial arts sects. At any time, the disciples of the beggar gang are all over the rivers and lakes, and even some are in the light and some in the dark.
Before the beggar gang, there were no factions. It wasn't until later that some beggars felt that they were a martial arts person, so they didn't want to dress dirty and torn anymore, but dressed cleanly, not like a beggar gang disciple, but more like a decent martial arts person. Unexpectedly, this was originally only a few spontaneous actions, and suddenly it was imitated by many beggar disciples. Many disciples who were originally beggars, after joining the beggar gang and gaining a certain status, have the idea of just wanting to be a martial arts person, but not wanting to be a beggar again. This group of people was the initiator of the later Pure Clothes Sect. At this time, the dispute between the beggars and the dirty clothes became more and more intense. Even many of the elders of the beggar gang were involved. So the dispute between clean clothes and dirty clothes has been handed down since then.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the beggar gang, it was only because the ancestors of the beggar gang found that there have always been many beggars and homeless people in the world, and they are especially prosperous in troubled times. So he and some like-minded people founded the Beggar Gang. Wulin is not used as some martial arts sect to allow beggars to participate in various martial arts battles. The purpose of the establishment of the Beggar Gang is actually to do the best of the people in the martial arts to help those beggars who are lonely, living on the streets and unable to earn a living on their own.
At the beginning, the power of the beggar gang was limited, so they did not have much influence in the rivers and lakes. Later, there were more and more disciples of the Jiazai Beggars Gang, and many of them turned out to be well-known big names in the martial arts, and the momentum of the Beggars Gang became bigger and bigger. And because the disciples of the Beggar Gang were originally all over the world, after more martial arts people joined, the Beggar Gang gradually became a real martial arts sect.
However, at this time, the beggar gang still did not forget its purpose. Even if there are many martial arts people who join, they are definitely not to participate in the battles of the rivers and lakes, but really some chivalrous people, for their own chivalrous hearts, to hoe the strong and help the weak. From this point of view, perhaps among all the famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes, there is only the beggar gang, which is the real sect of the rivers and lakes with a chivalrous heart. And, for a long time, the beggars put chivalry first and took helping the weak as their own responsibility. The beggar gang is also a sect that rarely stirs up trouble in the rivers and lakes, and the elders at all levels have been walking on the rivers and lakes, but just to try to help the weak and helpless people in the rivers and lakes. The rudder of the beggar gang is also all over the whole river and lake, but among the rudder of the beggar gang, except for a very few used by the beggar gang to discuss major matters, almost most of the rudder is used to take in orphans and some disabled people. Because these people are completely incapable of survival, once they enter the rivers and lakes, they are very likely to fall into distress and even starve to death on the streets.
However, in this way, the orphans and cripples who were originally taken in and left in various places had to be taken care of, plus the beggar gang, there were still many disciples to live on, and the beggar gang had no normal business income. Therefore, most of the beggars, in fact, can only live by begging. Although, because of the chivalrous spirit of the beggar gang, they will often receive assistance from other sects in the martial arts. But this is a drop in the bucket for the thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang. Some of these aids are reserved for the elderly, the sick, and the poor, and are almost never used indiscriminately. Because of this, since the beggar gang became independent, from the leader of the beggar gang to the elders at the following levels, there has been almost no money and income. This is completely different from other sects.
The other sects have their own territory, and they also have some of their own businesses, so they have financial income. The people in the rivers and lakes, although it seems that they are heroes who do not eat fireworks in the world, but in fact, they also want to eat. Disciples of other sects, more or less every month, as long as they are official disciples, more or less still receive some pocket money from the gang. Only the disciples of the Beggar Gang are different, even if you are the leader or elder of the Beggar Gang, you will hardly have any silver income. However, this is not to say that the leaders and elders of the beggar gang have nothing to do.
Naturally, they still have their own power, that is, they can mobilize all the beggar disciples under their own management, as well as have full authority to deal with the affairs of the rudder in various places. Because the disciples of the beggar gang are too wide, the elders of the beggar gang usually have jurisdiction over different places. In the territory under his jurisdiction, as long as it is not a major matter that affects the lifeline of his sect, it is generally handled directly by the elders, and the helper will not care.
The Beggar Gang was originally different from other sects, even in a province or a state and a government, the number of Beggar Gang disciples was already staggering. Therefore, many of the elders of the Beggar Gang, in fact, the disciples of the Beggar Gang who can be mobilized under their command have surpassed some of the ordinary famous and decent families of Jianghumen.
In normal times, the identity of the elder of the beggar gang may be really useless, but once there is a dispute in the rivers and lakes, the leader of the beggar gang is still very influential. After all, each of them had a large number of beggar disciples under them. The world of Jianghu people has always been laid down by people. If there are people in the rivers and lakes, there will be strength and power, and there will be capital to fight with others.
Sha Hailong, as an elder of the beggar gang and an elder of the dirty clothes faction, originally governed the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After Mu Qianzhi was plotted, he immediately found Sha Hailong and asked him for help. Because he believes that among the elders of the Beggar Gang, the person who is most worthy of his trust is Sha Hailong.
So Sha Hailong followed Mu Qianzhi's guidance, so the Crazy Inn begged to find the rich master and ask for the antidote to the poisonous dispersion of a hundred insects. After Sha Hailong disappeared for several months, he finally fulfilled his mission and successfully sought the antidote.
It's just that after he came back, the beggar gang had changed so much that even he couldn't believe it.
Therefore, the land south of the Yangtze River was originally his territory, so he privately found two of his most trusted disciples, just to inquire about the recent situation of the beggar gang, as well as the news of the Mu gang leader and others.
These two people are Xiao Jia and Xiao Li.
In the past, these two people have been following Sha Hailong to deal with our affairs, and they are not only very effective, but also very loyal.
It's just that Sha Hailong didn't dare to appear in a crowded place, so he only found two people in a dilapidated house in a small market.
It had been a long time since the two of them had seen Elder Sha, and they must have been very happy to see Elder Sha again.
