He raised his head and looked at Meng Chunlou, then he lowered his eyebrows and said, "At first, it was the villagers of Huang An Village who contracted the plague. In order to cure their disease, many people went bankrupt, but they still did not improve, so we have to wait for their deaths."

"Is three points of interest considered very low?" Meng Chun Lou asked coldly.

"We also let out a fifth of the interest. Is that not low in comparison?" Zeng Di asked with a wide smile.

"Humph, take advantage of me!" Meng Chun Lou laughed coldly.

"Hero Meng, you're wrong about that!" Wu Weidao smiled indifferently, "In the face of life and death, relatives may not help, but we, Ru Yi Hall, are willing to lend out 30% of the interest. How can that be considered as taking advantage of someone? Moreover, this kind of interest rate is not too high! "

"Most importantly, after we considered the fact that these villagers were unable to repay us, we even waived the interest! "I would like to ask, other than our Ru Tang Sect, what other sect could possibly do this?" Zeng Di asked.

Meng Chun Lou didn't answer because this point was actually the truth.

Zeng Di saw that he wasn't going to argue, so he continued, "Originally, we were kind enough to help them, but these troublesome people aren't grateful at all. They think we should help them, and some of them even want to pay us back. What do you think?"

"How come I heard that you were forcing people into a corner just to get rid of the debt?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"This is clearly someone with ulterior motives spreading rumors, and it just happened to reach the ears of hero Meng!" Zeng Di laughed.

"Is that so? If a person says that, it may be a rumor, but if a lot of people say that, can it be a rumor? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Hero Meng!" You don't know anything about those people! They had put in a lot of effort in order to avoid this debt! Some are willing to risk their lives to fight, some are pretending to be stupid, and some are trying to sell their lungs out. It is simply too strange! " Zeng Di laughed.

"Oh?" Meng Chun Lou pondered for a while, "How come I heard that you guys dug up the hearts of people and cooked them in order to make a debt? You guys even swallowed them in front of the villagers, as if how did you do such an outrageous thing?" "It can't be that someone else is making up such an ugly story, right?"

"Hero Meng, you really were tricked badly by those people!" Zeng Di laughed coldly and shook his head as he sighed, "There are several ways of saying that I have heard about this. For example, what you said just now was only one of them!"

"Then what is the truth of this matter? I would like to hear Sect Leader Zeng's explanation. " Meng Chun Lou asked.

Zeng Di let out a long sigh and said: "Didn't I already say it? Those mischievous people are willing to sell their lungs in order to run away from debt, but what do we want with these things? "It's completely useless. After all, we are not wolves, worms, tigers, or leopards, so we don't have the slightest hobby towards the human heart. Furthermore, those people's hearts are still infected with the plague!"

"The explanation I want to hear is why your people would want to eat the human heart in front of the living. Sect Leader Zeng, you should not talk about this any other way!" Meng Chunlou reminded.

"Sigh!" I only found out about this after the incident! " "It is said that at that time, those troublesome people were bound to die. In order to repudiate the debt, they took the initiative to have their loved ones take out their hearts and sell it to us. If we do not accept them, then we look down on them, but if we accept them, then we cannot take revenge on their loved ones.

"But you still kept it in the end!" Meng Chunlou said angrily.

"That's right!" We did, but we did it to intimidate them! " "Now that they have acted so arrogantly, we must be even more unreasonable and cruel than they are! We cooked their hearts in a frying pan and ate it in front of them. We told them it was delicious! "

"Beast!" Wu Weidao slammed the table heavily. "Do you guys still have any humanity left?"

Zeng Di Kuan smiled, "Don't be angry, hall master. There is another secret behind this!"

"You guys have even eaten the human heart, how are you even human?! You're clearly a group of evil spirits! How could I, Wu Weidao, have people like you? " Wu Weidao said angrily.

"Pavilion Master Wu, what our people are eating is not the human heart, but the heart of a pig!" Zeng Di Kuan blinked his eyes, "Our people have long since replaced the true hearts of the people!"

"Oh?" Wu Weidao's expression finally eased a little, "But even so, what you're doing is too incomprehensible!"

"In reply to the hall master, if we do not do so, it will be impossible to stop the willfulness of those unruly commoners. The facts also prove that this method is effective in deterring people. From then on, no one will dare to be unreasonable in front of my Wishing Hall!" Zeng Di laughed.

When Meng Chonglou heard this, he thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with his words. After all, as long as the hearts of the people were not chosen by them, they would have no reason to take responsibility for this! As for replacing the human heart with a heart of a pig, perhaps they really had their own difficulties! However, the testimonies of the villagers were still in his ears. As for who was in the right and who was in the wrong, that had become a mystery!

"Since they encountered a plague, they should report it to the government. Why did your men block them from leaving the village? And you still want to kill those who escaped? That doesn't make much sense, does it?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Ai!" Zeng Di let out a long sigh, "This is purely the false accusation of those troublesome people! When did we stop them from leaving? We only want to keep the entrance of the village open because we don't want outsiders to get into the village by mistake, so we got infected by the plague.

"But someone clearly said that you killed all the people who escaped. How are you going to explain that?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Nonsense!" "Those who ran away died from the plague. We brought their bodies back to the village out of good intentions just so that they wouldn't die on the outside. Who would have thought that by doing such a good deed to them, it would turn into a massacre!"

Meng Chunlou clenched her fists tightly. She clenched them so tightly that they creaked loudly. She wanted to make things difficult for him, but she felt that his words made sense. She couldn't tell if they were real or fake.

"Young Hero Meng, what do you think about Sect Leader Zeng's explanation?" Wu Weidao asked with a smile.

"I don't know if what he said is true or not. This matter has yet to be confirmed!" Meng Chun said.

"Great Hero Meng, go ahead and investigate. If you find any problems, then I'll do whatever I can!" Zeng Di said with a face full of confidence.

"I will investigate!" Meng Chun Lou coldly glared at Zeng Kuan and then asked, "If Taoist Ge didn't appear in time tonight, HongNi Le and the rest would have set the village on fire. As the Sect Leader, how do you explain this?"

Zeng Di was so relieved that he clapped his hands together and cursed: "This Hong Ni Le, how dare he be so audacious! Even if he was willing to slaughter the entire village just to prevent the plague from spreading, he should at least give me a heads up, right? Fortunately, he has been righteous to Dao Elder Ge, otherwise, if I knew about this, I would have cut his body into ten thousand pieces and followed the rules of the hall! "

When Meng Chunlou heard this, he laughed coldly and said, "Don't tell me just these few simple words can allow you to push away all of your responsibilities? If Honeyler were to know of this in the underworld, I believe that he will never be at ease again! "

"Great Hero Meng, what do you mean by that?" Could it be that Hennessy's death is not enough to justify the crime, and you still have to pin the crime on the head of the sect, me? " Zeng Di asked.

"How dare he make decisions without your permission?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"This is purely your personal guess. It can't be that hero Meng is going to ask me for punishment just because of this, right?" Zeng Di said angrily.

"Impudent!" If this subordinate made a mistake, would you, the superior, be able to escape? " Wu Weidao glared coldly at Zeng Haoshan, "Not to mention you, even I can't escape responsibility!"

"Sovereign, your subordinate is useless!" Zeng Haotong no longer argued because Wu Weidao had made his stance clear!

"Hero Meng, it's all because of my lack of discipline. That's why I almost made such a big mistake. If you want me to punish you, then I'll take responsibility for it!" Wu Weidao said with a straight face.

"Pavilion Master Wu, you're being too serious!" Meng Chun Lou gave a faint smile, "Fortunately, this matter did not bring about a great disaster. Since I am not a person of the 'Wishful Temple', how can I talk about punishing someone?"

"Since Hero Meng is so magnanimous, then I shall thank you!" But, did hero Meng have anything else to ask? I'm really very sleepy! " Wu Weidao yawned as he spoke.

Meng Chunlou pondered for a moment before asking, "I heard that your esteemed hall plans to build a temple in Huang An Village. This matter might be related to the plague. Does your esteemed hall have any excuses?"

Wu Weidao looked at Zeng Kuang and asked, "What's the situation now? "Speak!"

Zeng Di swallowed a mouthful of saliva, composed himself, and then smiled: "I only know about this matter, but I don't know much about it. Let Daoist Master Ge speak of it!"

This simple sentence shifted the focus of the crowd onto Ge Hua Qing. He felt a burning sensation on his face and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What a great 'wide', to actually place this lightning in my hands. This is so infuriating!"

"A month ago, I passed by Huang An Village, and discovered that there was something amiss there. If I did not adjust the situation in time, there would be a plague, so I persuaded the villagers to build a temple in the village, but they refused to believe me, and even chased me out, and I advised them to leave to avoid the disaster, but then they refused to listen to me, they even tried to use a kitchen knife to cut me down, and I advised them not to move, but to leave the plague temporarily!"

"Dao leader's martial arts are strong, and those villagers do not know any martial arts. Even if they knew some kung fu, how could they be a match for Dao leader? How could it be easy for them to drive you out of the village? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

Ge Hua Qing sighed and said: "I am a kind person who advised him kindly. If he listens, then he can avoid trouble. If he doesn't listen, then why should I force him? Furthermore, everything has its limits. If I, Ge, were to forcefully interfere, who can guarantee that the heavens will not punish me? "

"If Dao Friend Ge's words are so vague, could it be that he can really reach the heavens?" Meng Chun Lou asked with a smile.

"Dao Master Ge is an expert in cultivation. He is well versed in the techniques of the mysterious sects, and he is adept in all aspects of Wind and Water, so it is not exaggerated at all to say that he is able to reach the heavens!" Zeng Di laughed.

"Is that so?" Meng Chunlou smiled calmly, "Since Taoist Ge is so powerful, why can't he cure the plague?"

"This is a punishment from the heavens, how can it be within the reach of a human?" Ge Huajing asked.

"I don't know about the punishment from the heavens, but if I tell you about the human disaster, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape, right?" Meng Chun Lou asked with a smile.

"Great Hero Meng, can you explain it a bit more clearly?" Wu Weidao asked with a serious expression.

"Pavilion Master Wu might not know that the so-called plague is actually the canine poison of the man-eating vine! This man-eating vine is not owned by the Midland, but far away in Tian Zhu. If not for someone who intentionally brought it here, how could those villagers have gotten infected by the so-called plague? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Oh?" Wu Weidao was slightly taken aback. "Man-eating Vine?" Great Hero Meng is not joking, right? "

"I've already fought with this man-eating vine many times, how could I be wrong?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

When Wu Weidao heard this, he could not help but lift his hand to rub his forehead and asked Ge Hua Qing: "Dao Master Ge, do you know where this man-eating vine came from?"

"This subordinate does not know!" Ge Hua Qing said.

"If you don't know, you're lying!" Meng Chun Lou laughed coldly, "Dao Master Ge, I heard the secret you told Hong Ni Le clearly. If you don't remember, I can explain it on your behalf!"

When Ge Hua-Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his head and laughed out loud. "I never thought that I would make up a story that would be believed by Hero Meng!"

"Oh? "What do you mean?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

At that time, I saw that Hong Ni Le and the others dared to make a decision to burn down the village without even reporting it to the sect, and although I wanted to kill them, it was not convenient for me to do so. If I did not decisively stop them, it would cause a disaster, so I had no choice but to concoct the secret of Linghu Wu Hen to exchange with him. Ge Hua-Qing explained.

Hearing this, Meng Chunlou could not help but smile bitterly. He thought to himself, "What a cunning Ge Hua Qing. It seems that I have met an opponent today!" Other than me, there is no one else in this house who is not difficult to deal with. I want to get even with them.

Seeing that there was something strange on his face, Wu Weidao smiled and asked, "Great Hero Meng, do you still have any questions regarding Taoist Ge's explanation?"

Meng Chonglou cupped his fists and said, "I admire Taoist Ge's wit and your acting skills. I'm afraid that I'll have to play tricks for tonight's show!"

"Great Hero Meng, what does that mean?" Wu Weidao's face turned cold. "Could it be that Hero Meng thinks that we are acting?" "Does hero Meng think that only if we pay the price, even if we have to suffer grievances, will this show end tonight?"

Meng Chun Lou laughed at the sky and said, "I thought I understood everything, but I found out that things weren't that simple. I underestimated everyone. It seems that I was the one who came at the wrong time!"

"Hero Meng!" Wu Weidao stared coldly at Meng Chunlou's face, "Your words are unclear. I was very angry when I heard them!"

As he said this, he heard a commotion from the rooftop and the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside. Although it was suppressed very low, it was enough for Meng Quan to hear it clearly!

"Maybe I was mistaken, or maybe it wasn't as simple as I thought. I really have a guilty conscience by coming here late at night to disturb you!" Meng Chun Lou said modestly.

Hearing that, Wu Xiangdao turned the jade ring on his ring finger with his right hand, and laughed: "Great Hero Meng, are you saying some kind words? I, Wu Weidao, have always admired your character. As long as Hero Meng comes, I will definitely welcome you, even if you are here to cause trouble for me! However, once this matter concerns the Ru Yi Hall's reputation, I can't discuss about this admiration anymore! "

"I'm not sure about his martial arts. I don't know how many other masters are hiding outside the house, but if I were to fall out now, I'm afraid I won't be able to win against him. It's best to be patient for the time being!"

Thinking up to here, Meng Chunlou smiled and said, "I didn't intentionally look for trouble with Pavilion Master Wu, but I've caused you trouble nonetheless. Since this matter has been made clear, it's no good for me to disturb you.

"Bastard!" Zeng Haotong stared coldly at Meng Chunlou. "You dared to come here and behave atrociously without knowing what happened. Now that you realize that you've made a mistake, you want to leave? Is it that easy to fool the Yutang?"
