made a bunch of promises and said a few baskets of appeasement words, and Meng Zhen finally coaxed her younger brother well.

Handing over the tearful little Meng Qi who didn't cry to his master, Meng Hao took her sword and dagger and flashed out of the door of Hao Mengyun's house.

Hao Mengyun held Ah Qi with one hand and plugged the wooden door from the inside with the other, "Ah Qi, Aunt Hao will take you to breakfast first." ”

Before the words fell, Hao Mengyun felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Her poor little apprentice, carrying her younger brother all the way, walked from Mengjiazhuang to her house, and hurried back without even drinking saliva.

and her little apprentice's father and mother, because they still had a trace of trust in the clansmen, they were forced to burn themselves alive in the end.

Sure enough, the most important thing in this world is that Meng San's kind of beast is not as good as something!

Let's wait, if her little apprentice fails to seize the opportunity to kill all those executioners, she Hao Mengyun will definitely not let them continue to be free.

Hao Mengyun was ruthless in his heart, but his movements were extremely gentle.

She hugged Xiao Meng Qi and stepped on the ladder over the wall to go to Yan Zhenwu's house next door.

Yan Zhenwu had already bought soybean milk, fritters, egg cakes, cabbage and pork buns, and was about to climb the ladder to call Hao Mengyun, and Hao Mengyun had already climbed over the wall to eat.

Seeing Xiao Meng Qi nestled in her arms, Yan Zhenwu was very surprised, "Isn't this Ah Qi?" Why did he get to you? ”

Hao Mengyun put Xiao Meng Qi on the kang table and sat down, "Let's eat first, I'll tell you when I'm done." ”

When Yan Zhenwu heard this, he hurriedly put the pile of hot air on the kang table early.

Hao Mengyun went to the kitchen and took out the dishes, chopsticks, and spoons, while Yan Zhenwu wiped Xiao Mengqi's hands and face with a warm cloth towel, and after wiping it, he took a water cup to rinse the child's mouth.

Xiao Meng Qi was educated by Wu Shi and Meng Zhen to be very sensible, Yan Zhenwu took care of him, he not only cooperated obediently, but also said to Yan Zhenwu softly: "Thank you, Uncle Yan." ”

Yan Zhenwu sighed secretly, and Hao Mengyun felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Good people don't live long, disasters are left for thousands of years, and this world has really been bad to a certain extent.

***

On the morning of the second day when Meng Qingze's house caught fire, the Meng clansmen, under the leadership of the patriarch Meng Xihua, hurriedly held a funeral for Meng Qingze's family.

They didn't know that Meng Hao and Meng Qi had fled to the county seat overnight, but they thought that the family of four had all been burned to death in that room, so when Meng Da, Meng Er and Meng San went to each house to report the news, they said that "all four members of the family were burned to death".

However, the Meng clan people who came to help couldn't find the bodies of Meng Zhen and Meng Qi, which made the three brothers of the Meng family beat the drum in their hearts.

Meng Er couldn't hide his words in his heart, he looked at Meng San and was about to ask, so frightened that Meng San's heart almost stopped.

The two little cubs were gone, and he was also panicked, but he could see the current situation better than Meng Er.

He knew one thing very well, that is, whether the two cubs were still alive or not, they must not mess with themselves in front of their people at the moment.

Although these clansmen of theirs were all poor and almost never had contact with Meng Qingze's family, Meng San knew that if their family fell into the hands of these clansmen, then these clansmen would definitely unite and bite off a large piece of their flesh.

Although their family is not much richer than these clansmen, they haven't just made a windfall, and Meng San doesn't want to give a part of the fat in his mouth to these clansmen.

He glared at Meng Er fiercely, and Meng Er was so stunned by him that he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Only then did Meng San wipe the corner of his right eye with his hand that didn't shed tears at all, "Woo woo... Pity my nephew and niece, I was killed at a young age, not to mention, and now I can't even find the corpse, woo woo... I thought the rumors of mountain bandits eating people were all fake, but now it seems... Woo woo... These mountain bandits are so hateful... Woo woo... My poor brothers, brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces, you died so miserably..."

The people of the Meng clan are all simple villagers who have not seen the sinister hearts of people, even if there is occasional intrigue in the village, but the villagers are limited by their knowledge and means, and the means of intrigue are often extremely simple and straightforward.

And even if they hate a person again, at most, they will squeeze out each other, talk bad things about each other to relatives and friends, or they will greet relatives and friends, scold each other, fight, and then never get along.

Born and raised in this environment, it is really difficult for the villagers to imagine such advanced methods as "killing people with a knife" and "killing people for money".

Therefore, although Meng San's words were not without loopholes, the Meng clan people couldn't find where the loopholes were.

All the clues they knew came from Meng San, who claimed to be "the first to discover that the situation was wrong".

Meng San said that he saw a mountain bandit leaving Meng Qingze's house carrying boxes and bags, and also saw Meng Qingze's house in flames.

Someone asked him how he knew that those guys were mountain bandits, and Meng San said that those people brought knives, guns, bows and arrows, and said that there were more than 100 people on the other side, and the others were alone, although they realized that the situation was wrong, they didn't dare to take the lead at all.

Although there is a suspicion of being greedy for life and afraid of death, but being greedy for life and afraid of death is not a fatal matter, as long as his collusion with outsiders to murder his fellow clan is not exposed, everything else is just a trivial matter, and it will not affect them at all to receive the fields, houses, and shops left by Meng Qingze.

Even if the Meng clan is unhappy, they must also consider the blood relationship between their family and Meng Qingze—among all the existing clansmen of the Meng clan, their family is the closest to Meng Qingze's family.

Coupled with the fact that his uncle is the current patriarch, their family wants to swallow the industries left by Meng Qingze, and the other clansmen of the Meng clan will say sour things at most, which will not hinder them much.

On the contrary, if their murder of Meng Qingze's family is exposed, then not only will they not get anything, but they are also likely to be "killed by the clansmen" for the sake of reputation and interests.

Meng San, who is a little clever, sang and did a performance, and he was fooled by him when he couldn't find Meng Zhen and Meng Qi's corpses.

The Meng clan, like him, has heard of people and even seen cannibalism during the famine and war, so in this special period when the world was initially decided and many places were still in chaos, they did not question Meng San's "mountain bandits eat children".

Under the command of the patriarch Meng Xihua and his family, everyone worked together to put Meng Qingze, who had been burned beyond recognition, into the cypress coffin that the patriarch originally prepared for his mother-in order to justifiably occupy the properties left by Meng Qingze, the patriarch of the Meng clan rarely had a wide hand.
