Chapter 44: Frame
Inside Luyang City.
The incident that happened last night spread like wildfire.
Most people don't believe that Feng Qi would do such a thing. If he didn't want to give out money, he could have just not given it from the beginning. Why go through the trouble of giving it and then snatching it back?
Even if he wanted to snatch it, why did he do it while wearing the clothes of the Peacekeeping organization? And after snatching it, he didn't even kill anyone?
It's too obvious that he's trying to frame someone.
Even a three-year-old child can see the loopholes in this.
But this obvious and crude plan, which everyone can see through, severely undermined the public's confidence in the Peacekeeping organization. If he can't even protect himself, how can he protect others?
What's the point of receiving money from the Peacekeeping organization? Sooner or later, it will be snatched away by others, and he will have to suffer a beating for no reason. Why bother?
The Beggars' Sect, Taishan, and other sects investigated all night but didn't find anyone suspected of being possessed by the Heavenly Demon within their organizations. After learning about the situation of the Peacekeeping organization, they were all waiting to see Feng Qi's joke.
Upholding justice?
Do they really think it's just a game?
But they didn't wait for Feng Qi to investigate the culprit. Instead, they received an invitation letter inviting them to join the Peacekeeping organization.
...
Ding Wanjie, an elder of the Beggars' Sect, looked at the invitation letter in his hand, feeling puzzled. "What does Feng Qi mean by this? It's obvious that the Iron Palm Gang did it last night. Could it be that he wants to use our strength to deal with the Iron Palm Gang?"
"Maybe that's what he means." A dirty old beggar next to him also saw the contents of the invitation letter and sneered. "Feng Qi doesn't have many people he can use. Even if he's powerful, so what? If others deliberately make trouble for him, his Peacekeeping organization won't be able to continue. The Heavenly Demon is nothing special in our world; it must follow our rules."
"If Feng Qi only has these tricks, then I've underestimated him." Elder Ding said, "I always feel that he's not that simple."
"Elder Ding, you're overthinking. Look at what he did yesterday. If it's not violence, it's throwing money around. His methods are really that simple, like a child who doesn't care about the consequences. According to him, the Heavenly Demon must act according to its own attributes, which is impossible in the human world. It's too easy to see through." The old beggar said, "Human hearts are complicated, and a straightforward approach won't get you far..."
"Old Lu, do you think I should go?" Elder Ding asked.
"I think you should. He also invited people from the Three Gates and Five Sects. He shouldn't have the guts to go after everyone." Old Lu said, "It's not interesting to just watch the show in Luyang City. We can also observe up close whether he has been weakened. We know too little about the Heavenly Demon."
"Okay, Old Lu, let's go together." Elder Ding also agreed with Old Lu's point of view and smiled as he put away the invitation letter. "Let's go and see what tricks that Heavenly Demon brat is up to."
...
The same scene also happened in the headquarters of several other sects.
The representatives of several sects in Luyang City contacted each other and confirmed that they had all received the invitation letter. They agreed to go to the Peacekeeping organization together.
The Three Gates and Five Sects are not on the same level as the Iron Palm Gang. Several remnants of the Iron Palm Gang have already made Feng Qi's life difficult. These people firmly believe that no matter how powerful Feng Qi is, he wouldn't provoke so many sects at the same time.
Who do you think you are?
Just after taking over a small gang, you dare to take the lead in such a thing, who gave you the courage?
Several people laughed when they heard these righteous words from Feng Qi.
Gao Yong of the Taishan Sect was relatively mild, he glanced at Du Ge and said, "Gang Leader Feng, this matter is of great importance. I am just a small principal official of Luyang City, I can't make the decision. If you are sincere, you can directly go to the Sect Leader of Taishan. If the Sect Leader agrees, I will naturally obey."
"Daoist Priest Gao is right." Nie Nong of the Huashan Sect laughed, "Gang Leader Feng, you've found the wrong person."
"If you say the Heavenly Demon is causing chaos, isn't your position illegitimate, Gang Leader Feng? I didn't see any other Heavenly Demons, I only saw you doing evil." He Yuan'an of the Divine Fist Sect was not so polite, he sneered, "Who here doesn't know that your Peacekeeping Gang was snatched from Gang Leader Qiu, and the gold and silver you distributed yesterday were the property of the Iron Palm Gang. You've killed people and taken their property, which of your deeds is related to justice? It's really funny to hear you talk about upholding the righteousness of the martial world. In my opinion, if we really want to eliminate the Heavenly Demon, we should start with Gang Leader Feng..."
"Elder He." Du Ge looked at He Yuan'an and sighed, "The reason why I invited you all here to discuss this matter is to save some face for the elders, hoping that you can repent. But you are still stubborn. In that case, I won't save face for Elder He."
"What do you mean by stubborn?" He Yuan'an frowned, subconsciously thinking that Feng Qi knew about his sheltering Qiu Feipeng, and argued.
"Elder, what do you think this is?" Du Ge pulled out a bundle from under the table, untied the knot, pointed to the things inside, and asked.
In the council hall.
Everyone looked over, inside the bundle were several wrinkled Peacekeeping Gang uniforms. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Feng Qi was going to do.
"It's just a few Peacekeeping Gang uniforms." He Yuan'an said.
"Indeed, they are Peacekeeping Gang uniforms." Du Ge looked at him and said slowly, "But these uniforms were found by the Peacekeeping Gang, the Beggar's Sect, and the Taishan Sect from your Divine Fist Sect's base..."
As soon as he said this, the council hall fell into a strange silence.
It's over!
Liu Cheng closed his eyes in pain. Feng Qi is determined to stir up trouble!
"Nonsense." Several voices sounded at the same time.
"When did my Taishan Sect ally with you?" Gao Yong of the Taishan Sect said.
"When did the Beggar's Sect ally with you?" Elder Ding of the Beggar's Sect was stunned.
He Yuan'an was amused and shook his head, "I knew Feng Qi you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to be this shameless. Do you really think we're stupid? Even if you investigated what happened last night, it wouldn't be this fast. No one would believe it..."
"If I say there is, then there is." Du Ge stood up and looked at He Yuan'an, "Today, I have to stand up for the wronged people of Luyang City!"
With a bang.
Feng Zhong closed the door of the council hall.
