The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

"The three Lingnan monsters slaughtered the entire palace of Luoyang Wang Yanqun and robbed 30,000 taels of silver..."

"........."

Yue Buqun then looked down and saw that all of it was money that the evildoers recruited by Zuo Lengchan had obtained through killing people and robbing their wealth.

The more Yue Buqun looked, the more frightened he became, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

Judging from this account book, Zuo Lengchan did these things more than once or twice, the most recent time being several months ago.

At the end of the account book, there is a paragraph written by Tang Ying'e himself.

"Since I joined the Songshan Sect, I have been blessed by my master who has taught me martial arts and taught me to punish evildoers and eliminate evil, and not to do anything that harms the world..."

Yue Buqun continued reading.

This is Tang Ying'e's inner monologue.

The first half describes Tang Ying'e's master's teachings to him after he joined the Songshan School, and the second half describes his inner struggle after he started working for Zuo Lengchan.

At the beginning, Tang Ying'e still had a sense of justice in his heart. After knowing that the evil people recruited by Zuo Lengchan killed people and robbed money for him, he strongly disagreed with Zuo Lengchan's approach. At the beginning, Zuo Lengchan promised him that he would only kill those rich and unkind people, but later on, the definition of whether those who were killed were rich and unkind people became more and more vague, and Tang Ying'e's heart gradually became numb.

"I know I am different from before, and Songshan Sect is no longer the same as before, but Senior Brother said that all this is for the future of Songshan Sect. Someone has to do these things. If we don't do them, Songshan Sect will not be able to become stronger, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect will find it difficult to completely eliminate the Demon Sect. I don't know whether what Senior Brother said is true or not, but I know that we can't turn back. Perhaps to those who were killed by those evil people under Senior Brother's command, we are the evil ones."

This is Tang Ying'e's last words.

Yue Buqun closed it.

At this time, the boxes full of gold and silver were finally counted.

"Masters, we have finished counting. The total amount of silver is 280,000 taels and the gold is 19,000 taels."

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, so nineteen thousand taels of gold is equal to one hundred and nineteen thousand taels of silver. Together with the previous two hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, the total is four hundred and seventy thousand taels.

Everyone who learned of this number gasped.

This number was really too shocking. They had never seen so much money in their lives.

This is only part of the Songshan School, and does not include the house deeds and fields, and the large pile of silver bills.

The Songshan Sect has many sources of income. They have a lot of land, which they can rent out to civilians to collect taxes. The territories controlled by the Songshan Sect also provide them with a large amount of income. Coupled with the many murders and robberies that Zuo Lengchan secretly sent people to do, the Songshan Sect is extremely wealthy.

But with much income, there was also much expenditure. Zuo Lengchan had to support more than 800 people from the Songshan Sect, recruit those unorthodox people, support that group of people, and secretly bribe Yu Jizi and other high-level officials of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. The amount of gold and silver he spent was not small.

Even so, the total assets of the Songshan School exceeded one million taels, which was quite shocking.

Fang Zheng Chongxu, Zhen Shanzi and others couldn't help but breathe heavier subconsciously when they heard this number, and looked at Yue Buqun and others.

"Master Yue, what do you think should be done with the gold, silver and real estate of Songshan Sect?"

Master Ding Xian asked.

Mr. Mo Da and Taoist Tianmen also looked at Yue Buqun.

They trust Yue Buqun the most.

Master Qingzhu did not speak.

They are here to help this time, and they will not interfere with how these things are dealt with.

Yue Buqun did not say how to deal with it, but handed Tang Ying'e's private account book to everyone.

Mr. Mo Da and others were puzzled, but after taking the account books and looking through them, their faces turned grim.

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng closed his eyes with a look of reluctance.

"I never thought that Zuo Lengchan would do so many evil things in secret, and his Songshan Sect is right next to my Shaolin, but I was completely unaware of it. This is all my fault."

Yue Buqun said: "Master Abbot, there is no need to blame yourself. This is his own decision to fall into the evil path. It has nothing to do with Master Abbot."

What Fang Zheng said was like farting in public. Yue Buqun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just said a few perfunctorily and then said to Mr. Mo Da and others.

"Since you have all read Tang Ying'e's private account book, you must have understood that these gold, silver, silver notes and land properties are all ill-gotten gains."

"Master Yue, tell me how to deal with these things. I support you."

Tianmen Taoist was the most honest one. He expressed his support before Yue Buqun even said how to deal with the matter.

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment and said, "I want to return this ill-gotten wealth to the people who were oppressed by the Songshan Sect."

Yue Buqun then told everyone his plan.

After Zuo Lengchan came to power, the Songshan Sect developed very quickly. Given his character, he must have used some tricks. What's more, he even sent those unscrupulous people to rob rich families and make money. And many of those lands might have been forcibly bought and sold by the Songshan Sect from the people through some tricks.

Yue Buqun wanted to give justice to these people.

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.

This is no small project.

"I support Master Yue. This is our Taishan Sect's duty!"

Tianmen Taoist was the first to express his support for Yue Buqun.

Everyone was surprised to see him agree so quickly.

Especially Fang Zheng, his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Hengshan Sect should also contribute to this matter."

Not long after Tianmen Taoist expressed his position, Mr. Mo Da also expressed his attitude.

"Amitabha."

Nun Dingxian chanted a Buddhist mantra and said, "Master Yue, this is the behavior of a true gentleman. I admire you."

This can be considered as her expressing her stance.

"The purpose of our Emei sect is to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. We need to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. Please rest assured, Sect Leader Yue, the Emei sect will fully cooperate."

Master Qingzhu did not fall behind either.

At this time, only Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun and Beggars' Sect have not expressed their stance.

Sect leaders including Chongxu and Zhenshanzi all turned their gazes towards Fangzheng, waiting for him to speak.

"I also agree with Master Yue's idea."

It was impossible for Fang Zheng to refuse; on the contrary, he was very positive.

"Shaolin has only just learned about what the Songshan Sect did today. We are truly ashamed of the people. Sect Leader Yue, please let Shaolin handle this matter."

Fang Zheng would not disagree, and was even prepared to use this incident to spread Shaolin's influence and increase Shaolin's control over Henan.

Yue Buqun smiled.

"No matter how much the Songshan Sect was once known as the Five Great Sword Sects together with Huashan and Taishan Sects, the Songshan Sect actually did such a heinous thing. Now that the Songshan Sect has been destroyed, we should have the responsibility to give justice to the people who were harmed by the Songshan Sect. Let us do it."

Chapter 404: The leaders of various sects have different thoughts

Chapter 404: The leaders of various sects have different thoughts

There was no way Yue Buqun would agree.

As they are both veterans who have been in the martial arts world for many years, Yue Buqun can guess what Fang Zheng is thinking and it is impossible for him to let Fang Zheng feel so comfortable.

If these things had not happened before, Yue Buqun still believed that Fang Zheng was a kind-hearted righteous leader. But since Fang Zheng joined forces with his junior brothers Fang Sheng and Chongxu to target the three of them at the beginning of the year, and even protected Zuo Lengchan during the day, Yue Buqun knew that this old leader was not as selfless as he appeared.

Although Jiang Ning had not yet told Yue Buqun what Zuo Lengchan had said to him, Yue Buqun had already keenly sensed that Fang Zheng was somewhat targeting the Huashan Sect.

Yue Buqun would never let Fang Zheng get what he wanted.

"Master Yue has such a kind heart. I admire you."

Facing Yue Buqun's refusal, Fang Zheng did not show any dissatisfaction, but continued: "I fully support what Master Yue has done, and my Shaolin will definitely help you."

Since he couldn't take the initiative, he would fight for the right to participate. Fang Zheng believed that Yue Buqun would not refuse him and it was impossible for him to refuse him.

"Thank you very much, abbot."

Yue Buqun nodded without hesitation.

"Master Yue, let Wudang also contribute to this important event."

Chongxu also spoke.

Not only him, but also Kunlun Sect's leader Zhen Shanzi, Beggar Gang's leader Jie Feng and Dian Cang Sect's leader will help.

However, compared to Fang Zheng, the purposes of these people are purer.

The Huashan sects had just destroyed the Songshan sect and obtained such a huge fortune. Maybe there would be a lot left in the end. When the Songshan sect was destroyed, they also made contributions, so they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

However, as people of the right path, they could not ask Yue Buqun for money openly, so they had to come up with a pretext. Therefore, the leaders of several sects chose to join. One reason was to have an excuse and reason to gain some benefits, and the other was to spread the reputation of each sect.

Henan is the center of the world and has a huge influence in the hearts of people all over the world. Zhen Shanzi has always wanted to spread the influence of Kunlun Sect in this land, otherwise he would not stay in the sect as the leader of the sect and often come to the Central Plains.

However, before this, this area has been controlled by Shaolin since ancient times. Except for the Songshan School that has risen in recent years, no other school can be compared with Shaolin. Before, Zhenshanzi could only rely on Shaolin to spread the fame of Kunlun School. But now he has a legitimate reason to spread his influence and doesn't have to worry about Shaolin like before. Everyone is doing it, and Zhenshanzi can't help but feel happy.

Apart from Zhen Shanzi, it is unknown what Chongxu, Jie Feng and the leader of Dian Cang Sect are thinking.

"With your help, we will surely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yue Buqun bowed to everyone.

However, even though the decision has been made, it cannot be implemented immediately. We still have to deal with the matters after the destruction of the Songshan Sect first.

Mr. Mo Da and Master Ding Xian and Tianmen Taoist were all arranging for their disciples to collect the bodies.

The atmosphere was very depressing.

At this time, Yue Buqun called Jiang Ning to a deserted place.

"Did Zuo Lengchan say anything to you before he died?"

Yue Buqun asked before Jiang Ning said anything.

At this time, the two were on a high ground, and not far below were disciples from various sects cleaning up the scene.

When they arrived at the scene, the battle between Jiang Ning and Zuo Lengchan had already ended, and Zuo Lengchan was dead, the cause of death being suicide.

Fang Zheng Chongxu and others may not have any ideas, but Yue Buqun knows Jiang Ning. As long as Jiang Ning takes action, basically no one can commit suicide. Zuo Lengchan's martial arts is indeed high, but it is impossible for him to commit suicide before Jiang Ning kills him. Maybe Zuo Lengchan said something to Jiang Ning before his death.

Jiang Ning was not surprised and immediately told Yue Buqun what Zuo Lengchan had said.

"Is the Songshan Sect supported by Shaolin?"
