Chapter 357 Beggars Gang
Xin Zhen bowed his hands and said in a clear voice: "I am Xin Zhen, I want to see the leader of the Beggars' Sect here."

The tall and thin beggar asked, "You should be a scholar, but why are you here to look for our captain?"

Although Xin Zhen was anxious, he didn't want to be too forceful when asking for help, so he said, "My sister was lost while visiting the lantern festival. She must have been kidnapped. I am a man of the underworld, but I am not familiar with the underworld people in Gusu City. I don't know how to find her, so I would like to ask you to help me. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Another short and fat beggar shouted, "We are the Beggars' Sect, not the government. Why are you looking for us? Go away!"

The tall and thin beggar said quickly: "My dear, we are not here to help others find their bodies. You should go and report the case to the authorities."

Xin Zhen said: "I can give you one hundred taels of silver as a thank you."

The two beggars looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes. The tall and thin beggar nodded and said, "Since you are so sincere, we can help you find it. Leave me an address and we will notify you when we find it."

Xin Zhen asked, "When will you find it?"

The tall and thin beggar said, "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone in the gang is drinking inside. I will help you find it tomorrow."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "They may have taken the person out of Gusu City tonight. If we look for him tomorrow, we may never find him."

The short and fat beggar scolded, "I told you I'd find it for you, but you're still talking so much nonsense. Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the captain and his men are having a great time drinking, and you're asking us to disturb them. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Xin Zhen had already seen that these two people were neither sincere nor had status, and he was anxious and impatient. He thought that he could not care about many things anymore. With a hint of true energy in his voice, he said to the Medicine King Temple: "I am Xin Zhen, the leader of this Beggar Gang, please come out and see me!"

When the short and fat beggar saw Xin Zhen shouting inside, he was about to scold him, but suddenly he felt dizzy, which was caused by Xin Zhen's true energy.

All I could hear was the sound of bowls and plates smashing, followed by shouting and cursing, and then someone asked loudly: "Excuse me, who is the expert looking for Zhong?"

As soon as the voice fell, the man who called himself Zhong appeared at the door. Xin Zhen looked up and saw that the man was in his forties, with some patches on his clothes and eight cloth bags sewn on his body. He was an Eight-Bag Disciple.

Xin Zhen looked at the other person, and the other person was also observing Xin Zhen. He was stunned for a moment after just one glance and thought, how could it be a young scholar? This young scholar's internal strength is very strong. Could he be an outstanding disciple of some sect?

I dare not neglect him and asked, "Excuse me, what school did Young Master Xin learn from? What do you want me to teach you today?"

Xin Zhen said, "Hello, Master Zhong. I am not a martial artist, but I have learned some martial arts by myself. I came here today to ask for an important favor. My sister got lost while visiting the lantern festival tonight. She must have been kidnapped. I would like to ask Master Zhong, who could have done this?"

When Captain Zhong heard that Xin Zhen only learned martial arts by himself, he immediately frowned and said, "Gusu City is not small, so there are many people doing this human trafficking business. You asked me who did it, but I can't be sure for the time being."

Xin Zhen understood the implication of Master Zhong's words. Master Zhong said he was not sure, which meant that there were suspects, and there should be more than one.

Xin Zhen said happily: "Master Zhong, please do me a favor and tell all parties to send my sister back. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Master Zhong smiled and said, "Oh, I wonder what Young Master Xin means by thick or thin?"

Xin Zhen said, "My family can offer you one hundred taels of silver as a reward." This was the most silver the Xin family could afford.

Captain Zhong frowned and said nothing.

Xin Zhen added, "If Master Zhong can help me find my sister, I will write a thank you letter and hand it to Master Qiao of your gang to spread the reputation of Master Zhong as a man of great righteousness." Master Zhong laughed and said, "Whether it's fame or not, whether there's money or not are all trivial matters. Since you've come to me for help, I'll do you a favor. I'll have someone let you know when I find her."

Xin Zhen said happily: "Thank you very much, Master Zhong. I am extremely worried and it would be hard for me to face my parents if I go back, so I will wait for news here."

Master Zhong frowned and said, "Xin Shaoxia, go back first. I will inform you when there is news."

Xin Zhen said sincerely, "I will wait here. Master Zhong will ask people to go around and ask if there is any news. We will know tonight. After today, it may be difficult to find him."

Hearing this, Master Zhong's face turned a little unhappy. Someone next to him said, "Master Zhong has already said that he will help you find it. Why are you still talking so much? Go quickly. I will tell you when I find it."

Master Zhong nodded and said, "That's right, you go back first."

Xin Zhen frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Master Zhong."

Xin Zhen bowed to the captain Zhong, then turned and left.

However, Xin Zhen did not go far. He walked into a dark place, quietly used his lightness skills to jump onto the roof of the Medicine King Temple, observed the Medicine King Temple from above, and listened carefully to the movements inside.

But then the voice of the bell helmsman was heard: "Excuse me, is there any girl named Xin among those picking tonight?"

Xin Zhen was shocked when he heard this.

Someone immediately walked out, and after a while came back and said, "There is a girl named Xin Yu, who is very pretty and has the potential to become an oiran. She should be Xin Zhen's sister."

Xin Zhen took a deep breath.

Someone asked, "Captain, do you want to send that girl back?"

I only heard Master Zhong chuckle and say: "A girl who can become an otaku can be sold for four or five hundred taels of silver. The Xin family can only offer one hundred taels of silver. Why bother with them?
However, since the Xin family can offer 100 taels of silver, they must have at least 1,000 taels of wealth. Interrogate Xin Yu carefully and find out where her home is. Then, take it away while Xin Zhen is not around."

Suddenly there was a burst of evil laughter from inside.

Anger suddenly appeared on Xin Zhen's face. This Beggar Gang had fallen to such a level that they not only engaged in human trafficking, but also resorted to plundering and robbery. There was no way they would be forgiven!

Xin Zhen jumped lightly from the roof to the front of the Medicine King Temple and landed lightly without raising even a speck of dust.

At this moment, someone saw Xin Zhen from the corner of his eye and immediately asked in surprise, "Who!"

Captain Zhong turned to look at Xin Zhen, and seeing the anger on his face, he immediately knew that he had heard their conversation. He immediately became malicious and shouted, "Don't let him get away. If Boss Qiao finds out about what happened here, none of us will survive!"

When Xin Zhen heard this, he knew that this was not the normal behavior of the Beggars' Sect, but that there was a problem at the Gusu branch.

It is true that the Beggars' Sect under the leadership of Qiao Feng should have been in its heyday, and should not have fallen to this point.
