Chapter 868

"We didn't do anything wrong, we were framed because we didn't want to join forces." Meng Tingan's eyes widened, and he was very angry at Omega's slander.

"Don't want to get along with others? With whom?" Omega raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't believe Meng Tingan's words.

"Who else? Of course it's Hou Guangzu who was hacked into pieces!" Meng Tingan said through gritted teeth.

"Hou Guangzu...Meng Ting'an..." Li Zhenbang frowned, not because he didn't believe Meng Ting'an's words, but because he was thinking that there are many nobles who can have a relationship with Hou Guangzu, and there should be many who have grudges, but in the There shouldn't be so many blood feuds within Jinguang City.

Li Zhenbang suddenly flashed, "Who are you, Meng Junru?"

"..." Meng Tingan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but he didn't speak.

"It seems that there is indeed a relationship between you two." Li Zhenbang nodded. Meng Junru is not a big shot, but the affairs of his family caused a sensation.

Meng Junru used to be Jin Guangcheng's other deputy city lord besides Hou Guangzu. After committing a crime, he was expelled from Jin Guangcheng and sentenced to not set foot in Jinguang City for life.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will cause their teeth to get stuck, and farting will cause their heels to collapse. After Meng Junru and his family left the city, they were all killed by robbers and their wealth was robbed.

"Didn't you say that Meng Junru's family was killed by robbers? Moreover, a group of robbers were executed by Hou Guangzu because of this matter. Why did Hou Guangzu become your enemy instead? He should be regarded as avenging you, right?" Li Zhenbang asked suspiciously.

Although he didn't see what happened to Meng Junru's family with his own eyes, he had heard about it.

After all, he was a deputy city lord. Even a deputy city lord who had just been demoted was killed by robbers not long after leaving the city. The robbers were too arrogant.

"Nonsense! All of this was planned by Hou Guangzu. The so-called robbers who were killed were basically those who were taken in by our family, but they mixed in some robbers who should have been executed!" Meng Tingan Gritting his teeth and roaring, he slapped the table with his hand, and the table shattered, and all the plates and bowls on the table fell to the ground.

Li Zhenbang didn't speak. Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, Meng Tingan's words were not impossible.

History is always written by the winners, and the losers have no chance to refute, so the winners are always just, and the losers are always evil.

Meng Junru's family is indeed like what Meng Ting'an said, it is not a famous family, let alone a big family, the family has only about a hundred people including servants, and the number of people is not even comparable to that of a nobleman with a little seniority.

So even if they were framed and exterminated, no one would avenge them, because no one in Jinguang City would dare to offend Hou Guangzu.

Others may not know the situation in Jinguang City, but as a direct bloodline of the Red Maple Leaf family, who is also highly regarded by the family, they are still very clear about some forces in the Carlo Empire.

Hou Guangzu was like an earth emperor in Jinguang City. Even the city lord Zhao Shouquan could only turn a blind eye and close his eyes, not daring to take advantage of him lightly, let alone other people.

"What evidence do you have to prove what you said? The mouth grows on your body, so you can say whatever you want." Omega rolled his eyes at Meng Tingan, obviously not believing Meng Tingan's words.

"I... Humph! Believe it or not, sooner or later I will make this matter known to the world, and let Hou Guangzu's family be buried with our Meng family!" Meng Tingan snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming fiercely.

"What? Are you scared? Someone who wants to hand me over to Jin Guangcheng? That's right,

You have offended people in Jin Guangcheng, if you hand me back, maybe you can reconcile. "Meng Tingan showed disdain, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Afraid? Hmph! I'm so old, I still don't know how to write fear! Do you know who he is?" Omega pointed to Li Zhenbang and asked Meng Ting'an.

"It doesn't matter who he is? Back then, my father belonged to Zhao Shouquan, the lord of the city, but that old fox Zhao Shouquan didn't say a word at that time. Can your background be higher than Zhao Shouquan's?" Meng Tingan sat down a little dejectedly. On the chair, when his identity was exposed, he had already determined his end in his heart.

"In terms of background, my background doesn't seem to be worse than his." Li Zhenbang rubbed his nose. Zhao Shouquan's background is good, but his own background is not bad, and his background is not just that simple.

"Is the background not bad? Can you still be Zhao Tianlong?" Meng Tingan curled his lips in disdain.

"I'm definitely not Zhao Tianlong, how old is he, but I still have some relationship with Zhao Tianlong." Li Zhenbang said humbly.

"Related?" Meng Tingan raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing what Li Zhenbang said.

"Believe it or not is up to you." Li Zhenbang glanced at Meng Ting'an, and did not argue, but just shrugged his shoulders, because he felt that it was pointless to argue about such things.

Seeing Li Zhenbang's appearance, Meng Ting'an did not speak, and the scene became quiet. If Li Zhenbang argued with him, he would think that Li Zhenbang was bragging, but the way Li Zhenbang was too lazy to argue made him believe Li Zhenbang's words in his heart.

"Who... are you?" Meng Tingan asked softly after the silence lasted for a while.

"Is it important?" Li Zhenbang looked at Meng Tingan calmly.

"Then can you avenge me?" Meng Ting'an looked at Li Zhenbang expectantly.

"No!" Li Zhenbang refused without any hesitation.

"Why?" Meng Tingan shouted excitedly.

"Why?" Li Zhenbang still looked at Meng Tingan calmly, and also asked a rhetorical question.

Meng Tingan was stunned by Li Zhenbang's question.

Yes indeed! Why should they help themselves? They saved my life, and they didn't ask me to pay back. What qualifications do I have for them to help me? They don't owe me, but I owe them.

"If you can help me get revenge, I will tell you a big secret." Meng Tingan took a deep breath and said mysteriously.

"A big secret? What big secret do you know?" Li Zhenbang looked at Meng Ting'an suspiciously.

Meng Tingan glanced at the crowd, and finally looked at Li Zhenbang, but did not speak.

"Don't worry, they are all people I can trust." Of course Li Zhenbang understood what Meng Tingan meant. Meng Tingan wanted him to transfer all the others out, and wanted to talk to him alone.

Meng Tingan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Li Zhenbang again, and found that Li Zhenbang was still insisting, so he took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely hot, "A big secret that can make a country as rich as an enemy."

"Wealth can rival a country?" Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows, he didn't have the slightest doubt about the authenticity of a rich and rival country.

"You don't believe it?" Seeing Li Zhenbang's expression, Meng Ting'an thought that Li Zhenbang didn't believe him.

"I'm afraid it's because of this secret that you can live until now?" Li Zhenbang patted Meng Tingan's shoulder and smiled softly.

"That's right, it's because I know this secret that I've lived until now." Meng Tingan sneered.

It is true that Meng Tingan has lived to this day because of this secret, but he has also suffered inhuman torture.

Ordinary laborers working in the mines have wages and food, and they can even secretly carry some subsidies for their families. However, these slaves can only work hard day and night, without enough food and clothing, and have to endure supervisors Whip, and even face the threat of death at any time.

Meng Tingan's situation is quite special, so it is not his turn to do dangerous work, but he is also indispensable for hard work, tiring work and dirty work.

If the overseers tortured other slaves to make them work more, then they tortured Meng Tingan purely for fun and entertainment.

Meng Tingan went out early and came back late every day. Regardless of whether he did a good job or a bad job, he was beaten all over his body every day.

It is common to eat disgusting insects such as cockroaches and dung beetles, and it is even possible to eat parts of dung insects.

The purpose of the supervisors is actually very clear, which is to torture Meng Tingan physically and mentally. When he can't bear it, he will naturally tell everything he wants to know.

The supervisors are also competing with each other, because whoever can make Meng Tingan spit out the information successfully will be on the rise from now on.

But Meng Tingan gritted his teeth and persisted, because he wanted to live, and only if he lived could he have a chance of revenge.

In fact, Meng Tingan still had a faint expectation in his heart, that is, he hoped that his family would have a day of justice.

But he waited for too long, and the majestic deputy city lord of Jinguang City died, and His Majesty the King seemed to know nothing, and did not take any action.

Gradually, Meng Tingan became a little disheartened, and the only thing left in his heart was to live for revenge.

"Let's talk about your secret first! Let's see if it's worth the price!" Li Zhenbang neither refused nor agreed.

"A golden vein, even if you dig it with all your strength, you can dig out a golden vein for hundreds of years!" Meng Tingan threw out a heavy message directly with a heartbroken heart.

But what surprised Meng Ting'an was that neither Li Zhenbang nor the others seemed to be interested in the golden pulse he mentioned, and no one felt excited.

"You...don't you want it?" Meng Tingan looked at Li Zhenbang in astonishment.

If it is a rare treasure, maybe Li Zhenbang and others will be interested, but for Li Zhenbang and others, the gold mine has no meaning at all, and it feels less real than gold coins.
