Exposing the Truth

"Brother Xiaoyao, regardless of whether you are Han or Dali, what does that wolf head tattoo mean?" Although Qiao Feng already felt that what Master Zhiguang and the others said was true, he was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.

"Does Deputy Leader Qiao have a wolf head tattoo on him?"

"That's right!" Hearing Chen Feng's question, Qiao Feng directly pulled open his collar, and a lifelike wolf head tattoo appeared on his chest.

"What's wrong with a tattoo? Who among the Jianghu people doesn't have a tattoo?"

"Exactly, I have a Azure Dragon on my left and a White Tiger on my right. Am I also a Khitan?"

"I once heard my father say that the wolf head tattoo is only tattooed on the chest by the male descendants of Empress Xiao of the Liao Dynasty." Chen Feng said confidently.

"Listen, everyone, listen. It's not that I, Quan Guanqing, am slandering him, Qiao Feng. There are others who can testify for me! He, Qiao Feng, is a Khitan..." Hearing Chen Feng accuse Qiao Feng of being a Khitan, he immediately shouted loudly.

"So what?"

"Didn't Senior Zhao Qiansun say it? Han people are not necessarily superior, and Khitans are not necessarily worse than pigs and dogs." Chen Feng interrupted Quan Guanqing before he could finish.

"That's right, I did say that." Zhao Qiansun did not deny it.

"Khitan people are worse than pigs and dogs! I once saw Khitans impale Han infants with spears high up in the air, chasing them for fun. Are they not worse than pigs and dogs!" In the crowd, a disciple of the Beggars Sect retorted loudly.

"Have you seen Khitan infants holding spears and impaling Han infants high up in the air?" Chen Feng retorted.

"Isn't that nonsense? What infant is born knowing these things!"

"That's right, no infant is born knowing these things. At the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good, and natures are close; through habit, they diverge. Although Deputy Leader Qiao is a Khitan, he was adopted by a Han couple, educated by a High Monk of Shaolin, and after joining the Beggars Sect, he was personally trained by Leader Wang."

"According to Master Zhiguang, Leader Wang naturally knew of Deputy Leader Qiao's Khitan identity, yet he resolutely passed on the position of leader to Deputy Leader Qiao. And Deputy Leader Qiao did not disappoint. You brothers of the Beggars Sect must know better than I do what he has done all these years. How can he be questioned without reason simply because he is a Khitan?"

"That's right, Deputy Leader Qiao acts righteously, benefits the people, and handles matters fairly. We all trust him very much."

"Yes, back then, Deputy Leader Qiao thwarted the Khitans' treacherous schemes several times and killed several Khitan heroes. Even if he is a Khitan, so what?"

"That's right, there are traitors and betrayers among the Han people. So what if Deputy Leader Qiao is a Khitan? Deputy Leader Qiao, I support you!!!"

"Deputy Leader Qiao, I support you too!!"

"We support you!!!"

For a time, except for the people from the Great Wisdom and Great Courage sub-branches, all the other Beggars Sect disciples present began to support Qiao Feng, because Qiao Feng's actions over the years were truly admirable.

Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong. Such prestige also made the Beggars Sect disciples gain a little more respect when they traveled the Jianghu.

"Amitabha, at the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good, and natures are close; through habit, they diverge. These few simple words, like a nursery rhyme, also speak the truth of life. Young Master Xiaoyao is truly talented, and this old monk respects him."

Seeing that the Beggars Sect members were all protecting Qiao Feng, Master Zhiguang did not mind. His main purpose this time was to prevent the identity of the leader brother from being leaked.

"There is one more thing that is quite strange and puzzles me to no end?" Seizing the opportunity, Chen Feng prepared to unleash his ultimate weapon.

"Young Master Xiaoyao, please tell us what you are confused about so everyone can hear." Elder Chen and the others were already genuinely admiring Qiao Feng. Seeing Chen Feng on their side now, they immediately chimed in.

"Deputy Leader Ma, entrusted by Leader Wang, left a secret letter, implying he had already anticipated his own untimely death. Why didn't he place the secret letter in a hidden place beforehand and inform his wife and children?"

"There was no need to tell them the content, just to state that he died unexpectedly, and then hand the secret letter to the elders of the sect. Why was it only found when Madam Ma was organizing his belongings?"

"Young Master Xiaoyao may not know, but although Deputy Leader Ma and Madam Ma have been together for more than ten years, they have not had any children. As for not telling Madam Ma, I suppose he didn't want her to bear the pressure that comes with such a major event." Elder Xu said slowly, hearing Chen Feng's question.

"How is that possible!" Chen Feng waited for this sentence and immediately said loudly: "Madam Ma clearly gave birth to a child, how can you say she has no children? Could it be that the child died young?"

"You are spewing blood!" Hearing Chen Feng's words, Kang Min was greatly shocked and quickly rebuked loudly: "How can you smear someone's reputation out of thin air!"

With that, she covered her face and wept. Her delicate and frail appearance stirred up pity in people's hearts.

Although Qiao Feng was resentful of Kang Min's framing him, he did not want others to use the same method to exonerate him. He opened his mouth and said: "Brother Xiaoyao, Qiao Feng thanks you for speaking up for justice, but do not speak carelessly without evidence when it comes to smearing someone's reputation."

"Deputy Leader Qiao, I can guarantee with my life that Madam Ma definitely gave birth to a child." Chen Feng said confidently: "My father was a wandering physician who practiced medicine everywhere. In remote mountain villages without midwives, my father would personally help with deliveries. He once told me that a woman's bones are different if she has given birth or not. Therefore, I can assert that Madam Ma has given birth to a child!"

"Since Deputy Leader Ma did not know about this matter, could it be that Madam Ma had an affair with someone else due to the incident or after marriage, and Deputy Leader Ma discovered some clues, leading her to collude with others to kill Deputy Leader Ma? After all, as long as Deputy Leader Ma was drugged, anyone could have done it!"

This was using the opponent's method against them. After all, Quan Guanqing had just slandered Qiao Feng by suggesting that Qiao Feng might want to silence him because he knew his secret.

Chen Feng thought this matter was a fatal blow, but it was not. In the Song Dynasty, the customs between men and women were relatively open. Even if Kang Min had a child, it would not affect her marriage.

However, Kang Min had clearly hidden this fact and fabricated lies to cover it up, which allowed Chen Feng to stumble upon the truth. After all, a person who lied to marry the Deputy Leader of the Beggars Sect, did she have other motives? This was worth considering.

Especially Bai Shijing, who was seduced by Kang Min, had an affair with her, personally killed Ma Dayuan, and was now trying to frame Qiao Feng.

At this moment, he heard that Kang Min had actually concealed such an important matter, fabricated her background to marry the Deputy Leader, seduced him, the disciplinary elder, and was now plotting to force the leader to abdicate and frame him...

Thinking of this, Bai Shijing broke out in a cold sweat. However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Retreating would mean eternal damnation, leaving no room for mercy.

Thinking of this, Bai Shijing spoke:

"You guarantee with your life? You are worthy? Everything requires evidence. If you guarantee with your life, and he guarantees with his life, and they frame others everywhere, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Hmm?!"

"He is not worthy, am I worthy?" As soon as Bai Shijing finished speaking, a voice came from afar. Three people parted the crowd and came to Chen Feng's side.
