Chapter 175: The Meng Family
Huo Xing stood up suddenly, pointed at Kong An and scolded angrily: "What are you? Where did you dare to put my daughter in prison? Tentatively? My daughter, I don't care, who will? ”
Kong An woke up suddenly, lying on the ground with a bloodless face and not moving for a moment, where did he dare to scream. Huo Xing's anger at this end did not subside, he took a few steps towards Kong An's side, and when he was about to scold him angrily, Kong Changming suddenly rushed to him and knelt down.
"Brother-in-law!" After shouting this, Kong Changming hurriedly changed his name, for fear that Huo Xing would become more and more angry because of his relationship. "Xiangye! Kong An's disrespectful words should be beaten, and it doesn't matter if you beat him to death directly. ”
Meng Qingyue screamed again, and the two eyes staring at Kong Changming wanted to fall out of their sockets.
Kong Changming can still manage this, and he just begged: "The Meng family has learned a lesson, and they already know that they are wrong, and they won't dare in the future!" The Meng family's business can be wanted, or they can stay far away from the capital and never come back, but please let us live! The Meng family can't just be finished! Besides, if the lady has a spirit in heaven......"
"Ma'am?" Begonia, who had been silent, suddenly became angry, "Do you still have the face to mention my mother? ”
Kong Changming didn't understand why she was angry all of a sudden, and even more flattered with kind words: "Madame is also the Meng family, and she used to cherish Qingyue the most, if it is ......"
"Shut up!" Begonia shouted.
Her voice suddenly raised, startling Kong Changming's heart. She moved her gaze to Meng Qingyue, looked at the crooked face that had been stroked, and smiled coldly.
"Meng Qingyue, mentioning my mother, your sister, I wonder if you also had such an indifferent attitude during the period after her death?"
Meng Qingyue's face did not change, and she didn't even see any waves in her eyes. It's Huo Starling, when it comes to his deceased wife, his emotions have never been deliberately hidden.
Seeing that Huo Starling's expression was a little relaxed, Kong Changming opened his mouth again, "When Mrs. was killed, Qingyue was naturally sad, and she couldn't eat for half a month, and finally she went to the temple for Mrs. to invite a senior monk to recite the ritual for nearly ten days......"
"Grief?" Haitang subconsciously looked at Huo Starling, and Huo Starling also looked at her deeply.
"Xihua, what's wrong?"
Haitang's gaze turned to Kong Changming again. She went to the temple for more than ten days...... You went with you? ”
Kong Changming thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." During that time, there was a sudden problem with two shops in Liangzhou, and I stayed in Liangzhou to deal with the aftermath......"
"What's wrong with those two shops?"
Meng Qingyue screamed twice and couldn't say anything famous, Kong Changming naturally didn't understand what she meant. Haitang asked again: "What is the problem with those two shops?" ”
Kong Changming didn't know what Haitang was doing when he asked about this, but now that the Meng family's shops have been lost, the reputation of the Meng family's shop has long been lost, and it doesn't matter at all whether to say it or not.
"The two shops had a deficit, a lot of money, and after checking it, I realized that the account room had leaked the account, and there was a deficit of 10,000 taels of silver."
Kong Changming said these words very seriously, and there was no trace of falsehood in his expression. Haitang suddenly felt a little pity for him, when the Meng family was rich and powerful, he was an uncle who had no status to speak, obviously he was not a rich but a rich man. Now that the Meng family is gone, that is, he, Kong Changming, can still carry things clearly
As soon as Kong Changming's last word was finished, Haitang burst out laughing, and everyone in the front hall looked at her, not understanding what she meant? After a few sounds, she stopped laughing, she walked up to Meng Qingyu, and said coolly: "Did the two shops leak the account at that time, or did you take the money privately?" Meng Qingyue, do you think you can do things well? ”
Although Meng Qingyue was in a state of stroke, Haitang's words instantly made her whole body freeze. Everyone saw her like this, and they could see it clearly.
Huo Xing took a few steps to Haitang and grabbed her arm, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"What do you mean?" Haitang glanced at the other three people, saw the panic in Meng Qingyue's eyes, and saw the doubts on Kong Changming and Kong An's faces, and sneered in his heart. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the starling. "Xiangye doesn't know anything?"
The strength on his arm increased a little more, Huo Xing had a gloomy face, and held back his anger: "You are enough, one mouthful, one master, I am your father!" ”
"Phase...... Daddy, you really didn't doubt this? ”
She pursed her lips, but the contempt and disdain in her eyes were so obvious that Huo Xing was ashamed from the bottom of her heart.
"Suspect what? What does his Meng family's shop have to do with your mother? ”
Haitang sneered, and sure enough, although his father, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, had doubted the death of his wife, he had never suspected that he liked his sister-in-law. She didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly: "More than ten years ago, before my mother's accident, Meng Qingyue spent a lot of money, and her whereabouts are unknown. She looked at Meng Qingyue coldly and asked, "Auntie, where did all that silver go, do you remember?" ”
Without waiting for Meng Qingyue to react, Haitang continued: "I found someone to check, aunt, your silver...... It's money to buy murder. ”
The words behind her were terrifying, and Kong An and Kong Changming trembled when they heard it.
Huo Xing's voice trembled slightly, and there was a bit of momentum. "What do you buy? Kill whom? ”
Haitang looked directly at him, "Buy a Jianghu killer to disguise himself as a robber and thief, and it was your wife and my mother, the eldest lady of the Meng family, and her biological sister Meng Qingyue." ”
The father and son of the Kong family exclaimed in surprise, looked at Meng Qingyue in disbelief, and then looked at Huo Xing. Unlike before, Huo Xing lowered his head, and the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not dim, but he just couldn't see his expression clearly.
Meng Qingyue shook her head in horror, she didn't dare to gasp, her face was already crooked, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth when she shook her head, but she didn't know it.
Haitang stared at Huo Starling for a moment, in fact, what she said was very bottomless, after all, when the fifth master said that he would tie someone up and send him to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she refused, and now that the fifth master is dead, she doesn't know what that person looks like, if Huo Starling wants her to hand over someone, where will she find someone?
"Xihua."
Huo Xing's cold opening made her whole body tremble. She looked up and saw that Huo Xing's sharp eyes were surging with monstrous anger, almost toppling the eaves on their heads.
"What did you just say? You repeat. ”
Haitang didn't repeat the words just now, but looked at him calmly and fought this game. "I have a witness."
"Where's the witness?"
She clenched her palms, "An hour." Give me an hour, and I'll bring the witnesses. ”
"Now! Immediately! ”
Huo Xing almost roared out these four words, and Meng Qingyue trembled like a convulsion, which made Kong Changming and Kong An more and more flustered and afraid. Begonia gritted her teeth, raised her feet and left the front hall.
As soon as she left, Huo Starling rushed to Meng Qingyue, and slapped Meng Qingyue's face hard, and the red and swollen marks in an instant made the stroke face even more ridiculous.
Kong Changming knelt down, "Xiangye, this must be a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!" Qingyue wouldn't do this kind of thing, she couldn't do this kind of thing! They have a deep sisterhood, you also see it in your eyes, and they haven't even had a small fight, how could she buy a murderer! Xiangye, this must be a misunderstanding! Back then, the shop just made a mistake in the account room, so something went wrong, not Qingyue's fault! ”
Seeing that his son was still standing stupidly next to him, Kong Changming dragged him over, "Brother-in-law, our family has been a family for so many years, don't you know Qingyue's personality?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Kong Changming sensed that something was wrong. Meng Qingyue asked Huo Hanyan to replace Haitang as the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, deceived Huo Starling for so many years, and took so many benefits from the Prime Minister's Mansion...... But whoever hits the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion Huo Xing is the most disgusted and hateful, and now he turns the old things out again, it is simply a slap in the face of Huo Xing.
Kong Changming looked up, and really saw that Huo Starling's face was even worse. His heart tightened, and he got up and pushed Meng Qingyue. "Qingyue, you explain to him well, that's not what you did at all! Speak quickly! Speak quickly! ”
Kong An looked at his mother who was shaken and pushed by Kong Changming in a daze, and he didn't know if he was stupid, so he spit out: "I remember when I was a child, there was a Qingming Festival, mother, you took me to worship my aunt, and it was you who admitted in front of her grave that you bought someone to kill her......"
As soon as the words fell, Kong An's whole body flew out, and when he fell to the ground, he bowed down and spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he gasped and didn't move. Kong Changming's legs were weak, but his hands subconsciously grasped Meng Qingyue's clothes. Suddenly, there was a force that dragged him out and fell to the ground, and for this reason, Kong Changming almost dragged Meng Qingyue to the ground together.
Huo Starling stood in front of him, and when he crossed Huo Starling, he could clearly see a pair of women's embroidered shoes hanging in the air, which were the pair worn by Meng Qingyue.
Meng Qingyue was choked by the throat, and she was about to become seven absolutes. Huo Xing's hand tightened inch by inch, and the cruelty in his eyes made your blade even sharper and colder.
After Haitang left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he subconsciously went to the gambling house again, and when he was about to walk to the gambling house, he remembered that it had been burned to ruins, and the fifth master was long gone. After thinking about it, she hurried to the small inn in the west lane of the capital, and when she entered the door, she inquired about the two men who met outside the fire that night.
Coincidentally, one of the men was still staying in the inn, smelling of alcohol, and there were several silver tickets scattered around his hand. Begonia kicked him awake, so frightened that the man almost didn't pee out.
"You, what do you do?" The man had only seen Begonia men's clothes, but never seen her women's clothes, and he didn't recognize her for a while.
Haitang grabbed the man's collar, "Less nonsense!" Which Qinglou is your fifth master's good friend in? What is your name? Who are the people he knows in the Qinglou, do you recognize them? She simply dragged the man up, "You can take me to find it now." ”
