Chapter 143 The Iron Rod Gang Leader with a Keen Sense of Smell
When leaving the Beast Fist Sect.
Lin Feng and Song Dahu rode horses, while the thirty newly recruited men all ran on the ground.
Lin Feng slowed down, making sure these people followed closely behind him.
They ate a meal along the way and didn't return to the Ma Yi Wei until the second watch of the night.
Lin Feng dismounted and looked at the group of people.
They were all panting heavily.
Although their faces still showed signs of immaturity, their eyes were exceptionally firm.
Their worn-out hemp clothes were already soaked with sweat, but not one of them fell behind.
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
He was very satisfied with the group. "Not bad. Take the new brothers to take a shower and change into new clothes."
Zhang Xiaoyu and Sun Yu received a message from Lin Feng via carrier pigeon in the morning, instructing them to prepare to receive thirty people today.
Therefore, the Ma Yi Wei had already made preparations.
Among the thirty people were two girls, and Lin Feng had them arranged to take a shower in the bathroom upstairs.
He doesn't live upstairs either, so it doesn't matter who uses it.
All the men were taken to the large public bathhouse downstairs.
The courtyard of the Ma Yiwei was brightly lit, and the people from the city lord's mansion, the city guards, and the yamen were all unable to sleep well after seeing this scene.
They were filled with anxiety, fearing that the Ma Yi Wei (a type of secret police) might be planning something big again.
……
The thirty newcomers took a bath and changed into clean shirts prepared for them by the Ma Yiwei (a type of military police).
The group of people standing there all looked to be in good spirits.
This is much better than those idle江湖人 (jianghu people, people who live a carefree life in the martial arts world).
Leisurely martial arts practitioners may have better skills, but their backgrounds are complex and their personalities are unpredictable.
How can they compare to these young people?
With a little training, these people can develop good organization and discipline, and I know them very well, so I'm not afraid they'll cause trouble.
Lin Feng personally distributed clothing, soft armor, swords, waist tokens, and other items to them.
Upon receiving the robes from the Ma Yi Guards, these men's weariness vanished, and they shouted in unison, "Thank you, General! We are willing to die for you!"
"No need to die for it, just do your job well."
These men, dressed in the robes of the Hemp Guards, wore smug smiles and kept looking themselves and their companions up and down.
Lin Feng then delivered another speech on the mission of the Hemp-Clad Guards and assigned these people to various teams.
Then he announced the start of the banquet.
The food and wine ordered by the Ma Yi Guard from the city's restaurants were served.
The newcomers from the Beast Fist Sect had never tasted such delicacies before, and they all ate and ate to their hearts' content.
Sun Yu and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the group of people with smiles.
Sun Yu asked, "Brother, where did you find such a group of children?"
Zhang Xiaoyu said, "It's as if you're that much older than them."
"How can that be the same? I'm the senior."
Lin Feng said with a smile, "These people were all recruited from Song Dahu's sect, the Beast Fist Sect. Don't underestimate them because of their young age; their martial arts foundation is quite solid, and some of them even have the ability to control beasts. They are very useful."
Sun Yu's eyes lit up. "Wow, that's amazing! I should have asked for more."
"We can recruit more later if there's an opportunity." Lin Feng put his arms around Zhang Xiaoyu and Sun Yu's shoulders and led them into his room. "How's the investigation into the Iron Rod Gang going?"
Sun Yu said, "The investigation is almost complete."
You wouldn't believe it until you investigate; the Iron Rod Gang had unknowingly grown to over four hundred members.
The leader of the Iron Rod Gang is quite ambitious, wanting to replace the Heavenly Serpent Gang as the strongest force in the vicinity.
The Iron Rod Gang has been frequently sending people into the city to contact the City Lord's Mansion lately, clearly hoping to find a powerful backer and become the next Heavenly Serpent Gang.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes. "If I hadn't become a general in the Hemp-Clad Guard, I wouldn't be able to control them."
Now that I am a general of the Ma Yi Guard, I will not allow any gangs that collect protection money to exist within Qinghe County.
Sun Yu glanced at Lin Feng, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Zhang Xiaoyu's expression also looked somewhat unnatural.
Lin Feng sat in the chair and said in a deep voice, "Just say what you have to say. Do we brothers need to hide anything from each other?"
Sun Yu scratched his head. "Big brother, just today, the Hungry Wolf Gang has already pledged allegiance to the City Lord's Mansion."
Zheng Tiejun specifically came over earlier today to mention that we should take care of the Hungry Wolf Gang in the future.
With a snap, Lin Feng smashed the chair armrest.
"Zheng Tiejun is really something. He's only been the city lord for a few days and he's already starting to emulate the previous city lord, using his power to seek personal gain."
There's no need to give him face in this matter.
Our Ma Yi Guard was created specifically to deal with situations where officials collude with gangs.
Clap clap clap, Sun Yu clapped twice, "Big brother is right, we don't need to give Zheng Tiejun face, we should deal with him however we want."
Fortunately, Zhao Youcai wasn't made a general in the Imperial Guard; otherwise, Qinghe County would have returned to the days of widespread poverty and suffering.
Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Xiaofeng, you were just warned by the higher-ups. You need to be careful what you do."
Looking at the City Lord's Mansion across the street, Lin Feng recalled that when Zheng Tiejun was still alive, he often stood here looking at the City Lord's Mansion across the street.
However, the two had completely different feelings about the city lord's mansion.
At that time, Zheng Tiejun wanted to take over and move into the city lord's mansion.
Lin Feng wanted to deal with the City Lord's Mansion.
"Don't worry, we won't directly confront the official forces."
We only need to deal with the Hungry Wolf Gang. Once we take down the Hungry Wolf Gang, Zheng Tiejun will be without his henchmen.
Does the government really have the power to personally intervene and collect protection money?
We will proceed as originally planned.
First wipe out the Iron Rod Gang, then wipe out the Wolf Gang.
Sun Yu rubbed his hands together, took a piece of wormwood from his ear, stuffed it in his mouth, and asked, "Big brother, when should we make our move?"
"We'll take action in a few days. In the next few days, let's take these newly recruited people out for a walk and familiarize them with the terrain of Qinghe County."
"it is good."
……
the following few days.
Zhang Xiaoyu, Sun Yu, Zhou Haitao, Lin Hu, Song Dahu, and others led this group of novices, riding tall horses and roaming around Qinghe County.
The entire Qinghe County must be quite frightened.
Later, they discovered that the men of the Hemp-Clad Guard seemed to be out for a drive and hadn't caused any trouble for anyone, which put their minds at ease.
Some people have even begun to underestimate the Ma Yi Wei.
Someone leaked the news that the general of the Hemp-Clad Guard had been warned by his superiors and dared not act arrogantly again.
This made gangs like the Iron Rod Gang and the Hungry Wolf Gang less respectful of the Hemp-Clad Guards, and they became increasingly unscrupulous.
Lin Feng also improved his cultivation level in the past few days.
He has accumulated seventy breakthrough points.
He spent a little breakthrough point to learn the Hundred Beasts Fist, and then spent another sixteen breakthrough points to upgrade it to the eighth level.
With the final strike, four breakthrough points were used, and the Hundred Beasts Fist was directly upgraded to the perfect state.
Martial arts of the same quality may have slightly different breakthrough points, but the difference is not too great.
After perfecting the Hundred Beasts Fist, Lin Feng incorporated the Beast Hunting Fist into the Hundred Beasts Fist.
The Beast Hunting Fist disappeared, the Hundred Beasts Fist became the Intent level, and the Heart of the Beast appeared on the Hundred Beasts Fist.
Lin Feng consumed 21 breakthrough points this time, but his health increased by 11 points.
Lin Feng spent another 42 breakthrough points to upgrade the Thousand Beast Fist to the perfect level, increasing his life by 21 points.
Once I've mastered all the martial arts of the Beast Fist Sect, I estimate I'll be able to integrate them all into one.
Lin Feng checked the attribute panel.

With Lin Feng's current strength, he can do whatever he wants in Qinghe County.
……
It is located near Qinghe County.
The Iron Rod Gang is hosting a banquet for their guests at their headquarters.
The leader of the Iron Rod Gang invited dozens of martial arts masters from within a hundred miles, including a senior expert at the Bone Refining Realm.
The Iron Rod Gang provided these people with good food, drink, and entertainment.
One of the deputy leaders of the Iron Rod Gang felt a pang of heartache watching these people feast and drink.
He found the leader of the Iron Rod Gang and said, "Boss, why did we invite these guys over for food and drink? All the money the brothers worked so hard to earn has been used to buy them wine and meat."
Jiang Tiesheng, the leader of the Iron Rod Gang, said, "I'll feel at ease if I spend some money."
The frequent departures of the Imperial Guards from the city lately have made me feel uneasy.
The deputy leader was startled. "Wasn't the general of the Hemp-Clad Guard warned by his superiors? Would he dare to make a move against us at this critical juncture?"
