CHAPTER XXXIX
In the lobby, I can only hear Acacia talking eloquently, although it is paraphrased, it is also clear and smooth, so that everyone present can understand it.
Meng Er Ye was shocked when he heard it, what is this Yanhong Mountain, he also heard it in the early years, it is said that it is a famous bandit mountain in the Far North, large and small mountains on the mountain, there are hundreds of thousands of villages alone, many years ago, the government sent people to exterminate some, and some of them were recruited, but some of the stubborn cottages that came from great places are still standing on the top of Yanhong Mountain, and they still come out to commit crimes. If this time it was really the work of Yanhongshan's former master, then not only would he no longer suspect the ghosts, but he would have to find a time to burn incense...... These are all crazy people who kill people without blinking, and now they steal his family affairs, and if they don't kill all of his family, they are already scruples about the government.
The old lady couldn't listen to this, on the way from Yanzhou, she had already been frightened by the bandits, if this was really the ruffian hooligan that the wife found, it would be good, but listen to the meaning of Ding'anbo Mansion, it was a big case, not to mention that the money was going to come back, even if she mentioned it, she could only whisper in her own bedroom.
"Since it was your eldest uncle who said it, it can't be wrong." The old lady coughed, and then asked with some reluctance, "But this is really what your uncle said?" ”
Acacia Yingying smiled and said, "The old lady can call the eldest uncle over and ask." Someone just came to report this last night, and the old lady was not in a hurry to inform the old lady that her granddaughter happened to come over today, so she explained it together. I hope the old lady is not strange. ”
The old lady waved her hand, obviously she was still full of energy and indignation just now, but this time she actually looked inconsiderate, and the person also wilted.
The room fell silent again.
Aunt Mei shrunk in the corner, as if her mind was no longer in the lobby, she lowered her head and stood motionless, as if listening to other people's words, in fact, the right hand hidden in the sleeve had been pinched by the left hand full of marks.
She never thought that the kind uncle who had been in and out of her house since she was a child would actually be some bandit in Yanhong Mountain, just when Acacia said this, she subconsciously wanted to refute, but fortunately she pinched the back of her hand in time, otherwise how could she explain that she knew Uncle Xiang, and then this would not be the lobby for interrogating his wife, but the hall for interrogating her.
If the old lady knew that she was with some bandit who wanted to swallow the family's money, then what would happen to her......
Aunt Mei shuddered fiercely, she began to wonder if the person who really took the property at that time would really be Uncle Xiang's person, anyway, those gangsters were all found by Uncle Xiang randomly, and they died when they died, and no one avenged them, and when Uncle Xiang swallowed everything, she thought it was taken away by someone else, how could she think that it was Uncle Xiang? Look at what is going on under her nose clearly, not only does she not suspect Uncle Xiang, but she also looked for Uncle Xiang to find a way to ask his wife for money!
The more I think about it, the more I feel like, if this Uncle Xiang is really from a mountain bandit, then what else can't be done, the number of paragraphs of others is much better than her. is both regretful and afraid, regretting that she was blind and mistrusted people, I am afraid that she still doesn't know the details of Uncle Xiang, otherwise she will either be implicated or killed in the end.
As soon as she thought of extinguishing her mouth, Aunt Mei's original uneasy heart was even worse, she and Uncle Xiang had only been dating for so many years, but what about her father? has been an old friend for decades, whether Uncle Xiang is trying to swallow her mother's property behind his back, and whether her father will be implicated in the incident now, she is completely unsure.
Aunt Mei has no master, but even at this time, she never doubted her father's identity. Or even if she had doubts, she really didn't dare to think in that direction, and that kind of consequences were definitely not something that her little woman could bear.
Acacia saw Aunt Mei's thoughts clearly, and secretly laughed at her in her heart for deceiving herself.
But Aunt Mei is really lucky, in her previous life, this matter was only revealed when she was about to get married, and a middle-aged catcher who had just been transferred back to Beijing was probably also responsible, and actually found out Uncle Xiang's true identity from an old theft case in her family so many years ago, so as to follow the vine and catch many former bandits in Yanhong Mountain. It's just a pity that Aunt Mei's father, the big boss of the money village, has passed away, and Aunt Mei's brother has taken charge of the family and has become a real businessman.
"The matter is still under investigation." Acacia looked around at the audience, his smile had disappeared, and he said solemnly: "After all, it is because our family's case involves the bandits of Yanhong Mountain, and the eldest uncle rushed to understand the real situation during this time...... After all, these are all vicious bandits, if there is any news from us......"
The second master and the old lady both tensed their bodies, and their breathing was light.
"Let's not talk about it. It's my uncle...... We have to wait until the results. Acacia lied seriously.
"When it is so, when it is so!" Second Master Meng stood up and walked up to the old lady and said, "Mother, I'm afraid that there is really no thief in this matter, so it's better not to mention it in the future, after all, ...... The mountains are full of people who can hunt down thousands of miles. At that time, some officials once thoroughly investigated a similar case, but caught a thief in the mountains, and later transferred to the post but was killed in his home thousands of miles away...... Mother ......"
"Let's go, what are you doing to scare the old woman!" The old lady clutched her chest in horror and scolded: "I see that you are not filial, and everything makes me, an old woman, worry about everything, and in the end I am not a human being inside and out, yes!" Hurry up, get out of here, and let me be clean! ”
Since the old lady rolled the donkey down the slope, it was impossible for everyone to expose her shortcomings, especially the second master Meng repeatedly beating, and the people in the house had also suffered from banditry, so in the end, even the domineering Meng Gaopeng was dumbfounded, and he shrank his neck to find his mother.
It's just that Aunt Mei can't see him anymore, her mind is full of her father's business, she wants to talk and stop looking at Second Master Meng, but she was swept over by his wife with a roll of her eyes.
Since the old man has instructed her like this, it is unlikely that she wants to go home or even bring a letter, don't look at her as the biological mother of the Meng family's second room and the only seedling, and she can be regarded as having to be windy and rainy on weekdays, but it is really just the old lady's face, she is relying on her mother and son to be expensive, at most it is more beautiful than the wife. In this family, only the old lady in the entire backyard is the real person in charge.
Passing by in front of her, who had already passed the word and was waiting to return to the big house, Aunt Mei wanted to grab her and ask her if she made up these nonsense because she wanted to defend her mother, but she didn't even dare to stretch her hand out of her sleeve, after all, the name of Uncle Xiang, too few people know it, Acacia is only nine years old this year, who can teach her to make up such nonsense?
"It's good for you to arrive, you live comfortably in the big house, and you don't want to come back." Meng Ruoyao walked quickly to Acacia and said sour words.
Acacia smiled lightly: "It's all the fifth sister who wants me to accompany her to read, so I'll be cheeky and stay for a few more days." ”
"Fifth sister?" Meng Ruoyi sneered and said disdainfully: "It's really thick-skinned, and you have lined yourself up, so you can accompany others to read, third girl!" Just don't forget jì for me, if you want to go to the county king's mansion, don't forget jì to bring me, otherwise I will let my mother talk to you well! ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Acacia to speak, he ran directly to Guan's side, and had fun with his wife, Second Master Meng, and the family of three lost the nervousness just now, and even Guan laughed shyly.
"I don't know who just said nothing in the lobby and pretended to be quail." Acacia looked at the background of these three people and whispered to himself, these people all have one thing in common, they are all forgetful, no wonder they are a family.
"Girl?" Pomegranate is actually very curious, the old man has not said anything to his girl in the past few days, and I don't know where the girl heard this.
Acacia turned around unconcernedly and passed the corner door between the two rooms.
She doesn't care that these people will expose her lies, the eldest uncle does have something to do during this time, and he estimates that he will leave at night, with the personality of her father and grandmother, she can't wait for this thing to rot in her stomach, and she won't ask for verification at all, and her mother is even more of a person who ignores everything, I'm afraid she doesn't remember it.
The only thing that makes people feel tricky here is Aunt Mei, if she wants to find out, whether Uncle Xiang has been arrested, you can see at a glance, but during this time, the old lady will definitely detain her and prevent her from making any moves, as for a period of time, there will be a big case in the Far North, Uncle Xiang washes his hands with Boss Mei on the surface, but in private he is still inextricably linked with Yanhong Mountain, and as soon as he moves, he has to move, not to mention that the case is not small, and his position in the Far North has also been affected, so that he disappeared in the afternoon of the day he learned the news, In order not to leak the news, he didn't sue anyone, and in the end, his family who didn't know the details went to the government to report the case, and looked for it for a long time.
If it weren't for this, Acacia would not confidently want to use a lie to dispel the greedy thoughts of the old lady and Aunt Mei, maybe she would use a more secret method, but the difficulty is higher than this, after all, Aunt Mei has really lost things in this life.
Of course, this is another reason why she wants to use this lie, from now on, in Aunt Mei's heart, what she lost was swallowed by Uncle Xiang, this woman who can become extra cautious for the sake of her son, will never find out the whereabouts of those belongings in the future.
In this way, Acacia can truly have these wealth with peace of mind.
As soon as the mood was relaxed, Acacia walked into the house with a smile on his face. But I don't know why, there are still a lot of people sitting in her room at this time, and everyone's expressions are a little dignified.
"What's going on?" Acacia saluted her sisters and brothers and asked strangely.
Meng Huoran frowned and said, "Didn't my uncle's mansion be stolen before?" Recently, there was a catch in Kyoto, saying that it was arresting people. ”
