He was highly skilled in martial arts. He was hiding in the crowd and deliberately fanning the flames. When the voice came out, no one noticed where he was. However, this was also because not many masters paid attention. He deliberately said a few words and then restrained himself. I admire Meng Zhuotao upstairs for being able to keep his composure. He actually allowed them to finish such a speech without resorting to force to interrupt him midway.

It was noisy below for a while, but upstairs it was so quiet that it was confusing. Only after the initial noise had passed, did I see a figure coming down from upstairs.

The design of this golden building is lavish, and the lobby on the first floor is quite high, but for most Jianghu people, it is not difficult to jump directly from the second floor window. But this figure slowly walked down from the building step by step. All the guests on the first floor got out of the way. When the man left the hall and entered the courtyard, everyone could see his appearance clearly. They saw that he was tall, with broad eyebrows, a tiger's back and a monkey's waist. Anyone who sees him can tell that he is a naturally powerful person. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts, if he starts a fight with his stature, I'm afraid he won't be his opponent.

Some people who had stayed in Jiangning City for a few days and became familiar with the "Chakravartin King" party couldn't help but think of the "Martial Tyrant" Gao Huiyun, who also had the same vajra posture. It was said that when he charged into the battlefield with a big gun, His momentum was particularly ferocious, and he was invincible. As the number one person in the world, Lin Zongwu was also as tall as a mountain, but a little fatter.

As the leader of the "Resentment Society", Meng Zhuotao is in charge of internal and external criminal law. He has a dignified appearance and carries a large iron ruler behind his back. It is longer than a steel whip and a mace, and slightly shorter than a stick. Some people only see this thing. It reminds me of his nickname in the past, which was called "Measuring the Sky Ruler".

He just appeared in front of everyone, his eyes were calm, and he looked around. The majesty in the calm had silenced everyone's words, and they were all waiting for him to express his position. He looked at Lingchu in the center of the courtyard and the tablet in her hand. , walked a few steps slowly over, lifted up the hem of his clothes, knelt down on his knees, and then bang bang bang bang bang bang on the bluestone to the tablet and solemnly kowtowed three times.

After this solemn salute, Meng Zhutao lay on the ground for a moment, and then stood up. His eyes swept across the three men and one woman in front of him, and then he said: "You are not dead yet, which is a good thing. But why bother coming here to join in this?" lively."

The man who spoke out before said: "How can we not take revenge on our parents!" His voice was deafening.

Meng Zhutao glanced at him: "Yu Bin, you are the second child. After I go with the master, you should protect these junior brothers and sisters to keep them away from danger. It's a pity that you are still so dirty in mind, and you have to delete your head when you speak. To remove the tail is disgraceful."

Only then did everyone know that the second junior brother who spoke out was named Yu Bin.

"Should I cut off the beginning and the end of my words?" Yu Bin said, "Brother, let me ask you, is it because Master doesn't agree with your actions? Every time he comes to argue with you, he ends up on bad terms. Was that the last time that happened between you? They fought and severely injured the master. After he returned home, he initially told us that he had encountered a refugee on the road and had been plotted against him, so we were ordered not to look for him again. If he hadn't leaked it later, we wouldn't have known about it. The injury was actually caused by you!"

"This is where you are going to cut off the beginning and the end." Meng Zhuotao sighed, "If you want to ask me, then I will also ask you, Master, every time he comes to me to argue, when he goes home, do he They all brought a large amount of rice, grains, vegetables and fruits. If you say you don’t agree with what I’m doing, let me ask you, how many people in Yujia Village are standing by me and how many are standing by you during these years of war and danger outside? Over there? When the Jurchens came south, the entire Yujia Village was destroyed, and everyone became refugees. Let me ask you, how did you survive, and how did you live better than others? You show everyone. Look, how your faces look..."

Meng Zhuotao paused for a moment before speaking, and then his voice sounded like muffled thunder in the courtyard: "Junior brothers and sisters, do you know what it means to exchange children for food? Have you... ever eaten a child!?"

His question resounded throughout the Golden Tower, and among the crowd, some people turned pale for a moment. In fact, in the past few years since the Jurchens came south, there have been so many tragic events in the world. During the two years when the Jurchens were wreaking havoc, all kinds of supplies were looted. Although they have left now , but the destroyed production in Jiangnan is still slow to recover, and people live by eating big households and devouring each other. It's just that no one usually talks about these things on decent occasions.

At this moment, there were torches burning around the courtyard, and with the flickering light of the fire, when everyone took a closer look at the revenge seekers, they realized that these people were indeed not thin and thin. According to Meng Zhuotao, maybe they had won him. I have been living well through the financial aid.

Seeking revenge for one's master is certainly what a righteous person calls him, but it would be a bit ridiculous if he was constantly being supported by his enemies.

Yu Bin's expression changed several times: "Are these the reasons for your murder?"

Meng Zhutao gave him a disgusted look, and he looked around. After a moment, he spoke loudly.

"I know you have doubts about what happened today. They said Meng covered the sky with his hands, but Meng didn't. Let them finish what they want to say here today, but here Meng also has a whole story for you. As for the evaluation, after that, you can judge the right and wrong."

He faced everyone, solemnly clasped his fists and raised his hands.

"Meng Zhutao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has learned martial arts since he was a child. He has followed three masters in total. The last one, the old hero Ling, has been with him the longest. The old hero taught me the steel whip method and taught me all the special skills in his hands. , Meng treats him like a father, this is true."

At this time, he was commanding tens of thousands of people under King Chakravartin. When he spoke these words, he had a majestic aura. Compared to the few junior brothers and sisters in front of the courtyard, his appearance and aura were much higher. There were many green trees present. People heard that he had worshiped three masters successively, which was not surprising. They all said that with his body shape, he was the embryo of a martial artist. When an ordinary martial artist saw him, he would be very happy and teach him a unique skill. A very natural thing.

Someone else looked at the two sides of the confrontation and thought that Ling Shengwei's sect was unknown and the other disciples he taught were just mediocre people. And Meng Zhuotao was making such a big splash at this time. This was not Ling Shengwei's whip. The law helped him succeed, and it was indeed Meng Zhuotao who was a born hero. He learned the Ling family's whipping technique. It was more like the Ling family's whipping technique was fortunate enough to be in his hands, and it became glorious.

Just listen to Meng Zhutao say: "Because we are leading art casters, although Old Hero Ling and I are like father and son, there are some similarities and differences in our judgment of the world's situation and our usual actions. Old Hero Ling and I often have discussions , but it is different from what these junior brothers and sisters thought. It was a gentleman's debate, not a simple submissiveness between master and disciple... I would like to teach you all to know that when I worshiped the old hero Ling as my teacher, it was when the Central Plains fell. The sect has moved south, and the few present here are either teenagers or children. What do they know about the relationship between me and the old hero?"

"...The Jurchens searched the mountains and seas, and after a great chaos, our master and disciples settled in Yujia Village in the north of the Yangtze River. Only then did the second disciple Yu Bin enter... After the Jurchens left, during the years of the Jian Shuo Dynasty, The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is very good. Flowers are cooking with brocade and fire. Thanks to the northerners who have lost their land, the south of the Yangtze River has become prosperous. Some people are even shouting to fight back, but I always know that once the Jurchens call again, , these prosperous scenes are just castles in the air and will be pushed down."

"... Old hero Ling is a tough man. When people outside said that the southerners were returning to the south and the northerners were returning to the north, he said that the southerners did not welcome us and stayed in Yujiacun and refused to cross the Yangtze River. Everyone, the Wu Dynasty later came to Jiangning. When training troops in Zhenjiang and other places, they call this area the Yangtze River Defense Line. Although there are many places north of the Yangtze River that belong to them, when the Jurchen army comes, who can resist it? Old hero Ling wants to stay in Yujia Village, and I respect him. Master, persuasion is hard to come by."

"... When you live in a place, you have feelings for it. The old hero and I have lived in Yujia Village for several years, and there are more than just my family in Yujia Village! There are more than 70 households with three surnames living there! I know The Jurchens will come sooner or later, and these people cannot leave early. For the sake of the overall situation, since the eighth year of Jian Shuo, I have been preparing for a military disaster in the future! Everyone, I am a person who came from the north. I know How does it feel to have your family destroyed!"

Meng Zhuotao's words were resounding, and when everyone heard this, they felt admiration in their hearts. During the most prosperous years in Jiangnan, everyone felt that a counterattack on the Central Plains was just around the corner. Who knew that Meng Zhuotao had already foreseen the inevitable defeat one day at that time. Even You Hongzhuo in the crowd couldn't help but admire him. What kind of foresight is this?

No wonder he has reached such a position today.

"As for the Jurchen war in the south, the old hero Ling has his own thoughts. He thinks that one day he will face the Jin army, but he can resist it with all his strength and die for justice! Everyone, such thoughts are the actions of heroes, Meng Zhuotao I admire and agree with it in my heart. But there are people who are willing to die for justice in this world, and someone needs to try their best to save it so that more people can survive, just like the people around Meng, like these junior brothers and sisters, like the people in Yujiacun Those people, Old Hero Ling and I don’t regret dying, so should we just throw all of them onto the battlefield and let them die!?”

"I have had many discussions with the old hero Ling about this matter. I understand his thoughts, and he also understands mine. But when it comes time to act, Master's approach is straightforward. He sits at home and waits. The Jurchens are just here, but Meng needs to make a lot of plans in advance."

"At that time, the Jurchens had not yet gone south. I made friends with heroes from all walks of life in the north of the Yangtze River, occupied land in the mountains, and hoarded rice. Frankly speaking, the methods in between were black and white. Meng did not make any excuses. I was working outside, and occasionally returned home. When I went to Yujia Village, I saw these juniors and juniors... They lived innocently, and I felt comforted in my heart, including my junior sister, Miss Lingchu, she is the daughter of the master, and she is also engaged to me, because I don't go back often, she She and I... are not familiar with each other, and she spends the whole day playing around with several senior brothers. She has a very good relationship with this fourth junior brother, and I have known about it for a long time."

Meng Zhutao looked around. Among the three men who came that day, the one in the middle was probably Ling Shengwei's fourth disciple. Meng Zhutao looked at Lingchu and also at him: "You guys are now , are you already married?"

The figure of Lingchu, who was wearing mourning clothes, was slightly shaken. The eyes of the four junior brothers also flickered, and it was difficult to answer for a while.

Meng Zhuotao nodded.

"That's good, too."
