Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 408 Ready to do big things
When Meng Wei saw Liang Jin, his eyes instantly bulged like bells. He strode over angrily, pointed at Liang Jin, and said viciously:
"It must be you three who betrayed us to those damn officials!"

"If you don't explain everything to me today, I want you to die!"

As he spoke, Meng Wei reached out and wanted to grab Liang Jin's collar, as if he wanted to eat Liang Jin alive.

A trace of disdain flashed in Liang Jin's eyes, as if he was looking at an ant that overestimated its own capabilities.

Without hesitation, he slapped him.

Meng Wei had been wary of Liang Jin's resistance, so when Liang Jin made a move, he reacted immediately, preparing to dodge and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, he never expected that Liang Jin's movements were as fast as lightning, so fast that he had no time to make any effective reaction.

"Snapped!!!"

A loud and crisp slap was particularly harsh in the silent night.

The slap was so powerful that Meng Wei fell headfirst to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Half of Meng Wei's face was instantly torn into a big gash, and blood gushed out like a flood, flowing down his cheek to the ground.

He felt dizzy, his head was buzzing, and stars were appearing before his eyes. He still wanted to struggle to get up and save some face.

But Liang Jin had already raised his foot and stepped on his face mercilessly, pressing his head hard to the ground.

Liang Jin stepped on his head, his voice as cold as the north wind in winter:

"You blame us for things not being done? What kind of nonsense is that!"

"Or do you really think we are easy to bully?"

Meng Wei felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on his head, and the immense pressure made it impossible for him to break free.

He even felt like his head was about to be crushed, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but scream like a pig being slaughtered.

When the warriors saw this, they were shocked and their faces were full of fear.

"Hurry up and save people!"

They shouted and rushed towards Liang Jin desperately, trying to rescue Meng Wei.

With their knowledge, they could not see the level and weight of the slap Liang Jin had just given them, and they just thought that Meng Wei was hit because he was careless and did not dodge.

At this time.

Lei Zhen roared, his voice like a huge bell:

"Who dares to touch my big brother?!"

His roar was like a thunderclap exploding out of nowhere, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

Then he raised his hands and punched out with both fists.

Two powerful punches, like surging waves, immediately swept across the entire field.

The warriors who rushed over were unable to withstand the ferocious punch and were knocked back one after another. They fell heavily to the ground and screamed in pain.

This is still Lei Zhen showing mercy. If he had used all his strength, how could these warriors be alive?
The only ones who could still stand at the scene were Yan Sanniang and Ji Yan.

But the two were not feeling well either. Although they tried their best to resist Lei Zhen's punch, they were still knocked back several steps by the powerful force before they could barely stand firm.

The punch was so powerful that the two men felt as if they were hit by a heavy hammer. The pain was unbearable, their internal energy was surging in their bodies, and their faces turned as pale as paper.

Yan Sanniang couldn't help but scream in horror:
"Exposing internal energy? You are a fifth-rank warrior!"

Ji Yan saw it more clearly, was deeply shocked, and murmured to himself:

"What a strong punch!"

"In the Changzhou martial arts world, the only person who can master boxing to this level is 'Iron Fist' Lei Zhen!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Iron Fist" Lei Zhen is well-known both in the martial arts world and in the green forest.

Although many of the people present had never seen him in person, they had heard many of his heroic deeds.

Could it be that the middle-aged man in front of me is really Lei Zhen?

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen glanced at Ji Yan for a moment longer, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and said:

"It seems that not everyone is blind."

"At least there's still one person who has some vision."

This statement undoubtedly acknowledged his identity.

Lei Zhen has always acted in an open and honest manner, and he does not bother to change his name or conceal his identity.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

They actually offended Lei Zhen? !

The "Iron Fist" Lei Zhentian is fearless, has superb martial arts skills, and is ruthless. How could small characters like them easily offend him?
After Ji Yan was surprised for a few breaths, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

He couldn't help but look at Liang Jin and Xiao Liu with horror, especially Liang Jin. He heard clearly that Lei Zhen called Liang Jin "big brother".

"Could this hero be... 'Timely Rain' Song Jiang?"

"Is this the 'Blood Sword Lone Wolf' Xiao Liu?"

Ji Yan's voice trembled slightly, full of awe and uneasiness.

Liang Jin naturally disdained to answer such a question.

However, Xiao Liu saw that Lei Zhen had already admitted it, so he simply said openly:

"Now that you know about us, do you still want to continue?"

Upon hearing the other party's admission, the warriors were so scared that they threw away their weapons, their faces full of fear.

Are you kidding? These three brothers are famous thieves in Changzhou, with a reputation far and wide. How could they, small thieves like them, afford to offend them?

Everyone knew that these three brothers, together with the Black Jade Village, robbed the prefect of the government office and the commander of the Six Gates, and killed thousands of officers and soldiers, forcing them to abandon their armor and weapons and flee in panic.

Once this kind of person is angered, there will really be rivers of blood and a bloody storm!
After hearing this, Ji Yan couldn't help but look frightened.

He calmed himself down, saluted the three people solemnly, and said sincerely:
"Three heroes, it is we who have failed to recognize the true master and have offended you all."

"I beg the three of you to be magnanimous and give us a chance to live."

Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu didn't say anything. Now it was up to Liang Jin to decide how to deal with this group of people.

Yan Sanniang also came to her senses at this time.

She also bowed hastily and said earnestly:

"Senior Song, I know you are a man of great benevolence and righteousness, and we have always admired your demeanor."

"It is because of your example that we have come together to seek a way out for the people of Changzhou."

"We have offended tonight, and whatever punishment you may impose upon us is deserved. However, these brothers are all loyal and courageous, so please spare their lives."

"Junior Yan Sanniang, is willing to die for all my brothers!"

Having said that, Yan Sanniang knelt directly in front of Liang Jin, her eyes full of pleading and determination.

As Yan Sanniang knelt, the other warriors dared not stand anymore and knelt down one after another.

In the face of absolute strength, they couldn't even think of resisting.

Some people can only kneel down and beg.

Liang Jin glanced at everyone and said calmly:
"A bunch of idiots."

He loosened his foot and kicked Meng Wei directly to Yan Sanniang's side.

Meng Wei was freed, but he was so ashamed that he lay on the ground and couldn't raise his head.

He has always liked Yan Sanniang and just wants to behave well in front of her.

But now he was slapped and stepped on in the face, and he has lost all his face.

Unfortunately, he couldn't take revenge for the time being.

As for these three giant thieves, he was very clear about his own strength and had no qualifications to compete with them.

What's more, he knew he was wrong.

Since the other party is Song Jiang, there is absolutely no possibility that he would collude with those corrupt officials.

This resulted in Meng Wei being neither strong nor in the right, which made him even more angry and gritted his teeth.

"I am from Yanshan Village!"

"My father is an important figure in Yanshan Village!"

After holding it in for a long time, Meng Wei had no choice but to report his background and bring out his father's identity in an attempt to save some face for himself.

This statement surprised everyone around.

They had never heard Meng Wei say that he was from Yanshan Village.

Yanshan Stronghold was the most powerful outlaw in Changzhou. They had been active in Changzhou for many years, but even the government was powerless against them. Liang Jin hadn't bothered to pay any attention to him, but now he heard that he was still trying to bluff.

He couldn't help but come to Meng Wei, squatted down and looked at Meng Wei lying on the ground, and asked with a smile:

"Oh? You and your father are still from Yanshan Village?"

"What's his name? How powerful is he? Tell me."

Meng Wei felt Liang Jin's gaze and couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.

He was about to speak, but seemed to have some reservations and ultimately remained silent.

Meng Wei's move this time was originally a secret one, and it was wrong for him to reveal his identity in a moment of desperation.

If he told everyone about his father, it would be like exposing his entire identity.

You have to know that this place is far away from Yanshan Stronghold, and once his identity is exposed, it is very likely to bring him danger.

Especially if the government knew about it, he would probably be hunted down by the Six Gates.

After Meng Wei calmed down, he naturally didn't want to speak again.

"waste."

"If you hadn't robbed the government silver for the people, how could you have survived until now?"

Liang Jin said disdainfully.

Then he stood up, unwilling to look at Meng Wei any longer.

No matter what Meng Wei's background was, in his eyes he was just an incompetent waste.

When Meng Wei heard this, he was furious.

But in the end he didn't dare to say another word.

When Liang Jin stepped on his head just now, he felt like his head was almost crushed.

He also believed that if he dared to say another word at this moment, Liang Jin would definitely kill him!
at this time.

Liang Jin glanced at everyone coldly and asked in a deep voice:

"Who provided the information that you were robbing government grain here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

They didn't know whether they should confess to Liang Jin, but many people's eyes subconsciously turned to one person - Ji Yan.

Ji Yan also immediately explained:

"In reply to Song Yingxiong, I spent a lot of money to buy this information."

"The source of the information is an organization called 'Fengfeng Pavilion'."

"Bufengge is an organization that specializes in collecting and selling intelligence. It is well-known in the Changzhou martial arts world for its quick and accurate intelligence."

After listening to this, Liang Jin's expression remained calm.

He made no comment on this, but turned and walked towards the house.

"Don't bother us anymore."

After Liang Jin finished speaking, he had already entered the house.

Seeing this, Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu followed Liang Jin into the house.

This time, these warriors finally learned their lesson and behaved obediently.

They immediately hurried away, not even daring to approach the houses.

Everyone knew that Liang Jin and his two companions were heroes who robbed government grain and seized the prefect in order to help the people.

But heroes also have tempers.

Especially the heroes who are always on the move, they kill people without blinking an eye.

Once you anger them, the consequences will be disastrous.

Time goes by slowly...

The night grew darker and darker, thick as ink, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out among the group of warriors who had gathered together to rob the government silver.

They had originally come together because of their desire for wealth and vague understanding of justice. Now that they had not robbed the government silver, the cohesion among them collapsed in an instant, and the entire team suddenly became loose.

Although many warriors did not understand why this seemingly well-planned silver robbery plan ended in failure, they keenly realized that they seemed to have fallen into an elaborate conspiracy.

Fear and anxiety spread among the crowd, making them dare not stay in this deserted village for long, for fear that they would be surrounded and attacked by soldiers who would descend from the sky in the next second.

They all wanted to leave immediately and find a safe shelter.

However, when it comes to where they are going, their goals vary greatly.

Some want to return to their hometown, some want to wander around the world in hiding, and some plan to join other forces. This inconsistency in goals is destined to make this group of warriors who were temporarily assembled go their separate ways.

In the end, Yan Sanniang had to admit that their makeshift gang could no longer survive.

Her eyes were full of loss and helplessness, but she still forced herself to take out all the stored food.

These foods were originally prepared as supplies for the bank robbery, but now they have become her last resort to appease everyone before she breaks up.

She distributed the food fairly to all the warriors and the recruited civilians, hoping to leave some warmth for everyone before their departure.

After receiving food, a large number of warriors and civilians set out on their respective journeys home, each going their own way. Their figures gradually blurred in the night until they disappeared.

In the end, only Yan Sanniang was left, and Meng Wei also stayed behind her.

All the others scattered like birds and beasts, and the former bustle and noise disappeared in an instant.

Yan Sanniang seemed to be brooding over her failure this time, and her heart was filled with self-blame and pain.

Meng Wei wanted to comfort Yan Sanniang, but Yan Sanniang had no time to care about him.

She quietly hid in a dilapidated house, trying to find a little comfort in this small space.

She curled up in the corner, unable to help but suppress her sobs.

Although she tried her best to control her emotions and cried very quietly, to masters like Liang Jin and Lei Zhen, the subtle crying was as clear as if it were ringing in their ears.

Lei Zhen heard the crying and couldn't help but sigh:
"These people really seem to be joking."

"It would be strange if they could succeed like this."

Lei Zhen has always looked down on leaders like Yan Sanniang.

In his opinion, Yan Sanniang was too young, inexperienced, and lacked experience in the martial arts world.

It is understandable that he rashly recruited a group of people to rob government silver based solely on his passion and flawed intelligence. The entire operation was full of loopholes and eventually became a ridiculous joke.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin just smiled slightly.

This is indeed a farce, full of absurdity and irrationality from the very beginning.

Perhaps the person behind the scenes saw that Yan Sanniang lacked experience and would be unable to accomplish anything, so he deliberately chose her to take the blame and make her the scapegoat of this conspiracy.

Now Liang Jin has met Miao Yuanzheng and provided food and money to Taiping Dao. According to the original plan, he should go to Yanshan Stronghold next.

However, after what happened tonight, Liang Jin had new plans.

If there really was a sum of disaster relief money and it had been embezzled by those greedy corrupt officials, Liang Jin felt that he had to take care of it no matter what.

This money was originally life-saving money issued by the imperial court to save the people from dire straits. It must not fall into the pockets of a few people and become capital for their squandering and enjoyment.

Today, the development of Taiping Dao in Changzhou is at a critical stage, and a large amount of funds is needed.

Although Qingzhou Taiping Dao also has a certain amount of wealth, it still needs to maintain its army and spends money like water, so the funding it can provide to Changzhou Taiping Dao is very limited.

The development of Choshu Taipingdao still depends more on its own strength.

If Liang Jin could obtain this disaster relief money and hand it over to the Changzhou Taiping Dao, which would then use it to help the people, then this would undoubtedly be the best outcome.

It can not only punish corrupt officials, but also help the people of Choshu overcome difficulties and strengthen the power of Taipingdao. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

You can give this a try!
Immediately, Liang Jin made up his mind, and with a thought, he instantly entered the mysterious [Nine Sky Boundless].

In [Nine Skies Without Bounds], Xiaoyu looked confused. She had just been pulled in by Liang Jin and had not had time to figure out what was going on.

When she saw Liang Jin, she rushed over to him affectionately, wanting to snuggle into Liang Jin's arms.

Obviously, Xiaoyu hadn't seen Liang Jin for many days and missed him very much.

Liang Jin looked at Xiaoyu and ordered her:

"Xiaoyu, it's time to ride your eagle back."

"We should also prepare to do something big."
