Yueyue's face was almost touching her father's face. She smelled the smell of liquor and rot, and immediately began to feel nauseated. She covered her mouth and wanted to vomit, but Xu Qingmo still held her down tightly, holding her tight. Don't let go!
The woman rushed forward and took Yueyue away from Xu Qingmo's hand: "She is just a child. Her father did something wrong. What does it have to do with her!"
"Your children are well fed, clothed, and able to read and write. Where are the children of those who were killed by your men!" Meng Hetong stepped forward with disgust on his face.
The woman was speechless and just covered Yueyue's ears tightly, but she still heard it. She suddenly turned back and looked at the woman: "Mom, what are you talking about? Daddy is a good person, but Daddy is not water." Thief, daddy is not a water thief!"
The woman lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.
"Your husband used the money he earned from murder and arson to support you, letting your daughter read and write, but pushed others into a pit of fire. How dare you tell Yueyue where your money came from?" Meng Hetong looked at the woman in front of him. The man frowned and said coldly.
"There is nothing we can do..."
"There is no way, it is not an excuse for him to harm others!" Xu Qingmo let out a long sigh, "Do you know that your family property will be confiscated, murder and arson will affect your family!" He Anye said softly, "You and Your daughter will also be exiled!"
The woman's eyes changed instantly: "Yueyue doesn't know anything. This has nothing to do with Yueyue. If I want to be exiled, I will be exiled. It has nothing to do with her..."
Xu Qingmo looked at the collapsed mother and daughter, stood up and left, but the woman grabbed the hem of her skirt: "Who are you, who are you!"
Xu Qingmo looked down at the woman in front of him and Yueyue, whose eyes were full of hatred. He turned slightly and shook off the woman's hand: "I am the biological daughter of the great general Ning Yuanhou, Xu Qingmo!"
"you you……"
Xu Qingmo originally wanted to leave, but after seeing Yueyue's eyes, she stopped. She turned around and walked to Yueyue, then squatted down: "Zhu Xi once said: 'Knowing is enough to make sense, so there is no confusion.' A wise man It means learning to know right from wrong, good from evil, good from bad, good from bad.”
Yueyue, who had been screaming all the time, suddenly calmed down and looked at Xu Qingmo for a moment.
Xu Qingmo held Yueyue's hand and put a knife into her hand: "Remember, my name is Xu Qingmo. I have never killed anyone by mistake. Your father knew that the boat was full of old, weak, women and children, but he still felt pain. I killed him to protect myself and innocent people, and I was right!"
Yueyue looked at the knife in her hand and remained silent.
"If when you grow up, you still feel that I am wrong, then you can take this knife to kill me. As long as you feel that you are right and you are capable of killing me, you can come and take revenge. !" Xu Qingmo looked at Yueyue and said word by word.
Yueyue held the knife tightly: "I will definitely kill you and avenge my father!"
"If you still think this way when you get wiser, then come to me!" Xu Qingmo looked into Yueyue's eyes and said word by word.
After all, Yueyue is not very old. She holds the dagger tightly with a firm gaze: "I will definitely come to you. I will definitely tell you that you killed the wrong person. I will definitely avenge my father!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Yueyue for a long time, then stood up: "I hope there will be such a day!"
Just when Xu Qingmo was about to leave, Meng Hetong suddenly grabbed her: "Don't leave in a hurry, there are still things to do!"
At this time, Xu Qingmo felt all kinds of uncomfortable. He was standing there as Yueyue's father-killing enemy, and his whole body felt extremely sick. However, Meng Hetong refused to let him go, and insisted on keeping her here.
Fortunately, He Anye was a smart man and quickly asked people to take Yueyue and her daughter away. After they left, He Anye walked to Xu Qingmo. He looked at her carefully and then sighed: "Sure enough, Yes, the tiger father has no dog daughter!”
Xu Qingmo looked at He Anye for a long time, and then shouted awkwardly: "Uncle!"
Meng Hetong stepped forward: "Master He, you have also seen that this person is indeed a water thief, and he is also a member of the crew. I remember that it was an official ship, and everyone who got on the ship was a pirate. The household registration was verified, so how did this person get on the ship?"
He Anye looked at Meng Hetong and glanced at the master next to him. The master quickly brought up the household registration certificates held by the crew members on the ship at that time: "I checked, and they were all stamped, and the seals were all real!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the household registrations, checked them carefully, and then returned them to the master: "There is collusion between officials and bandits. No wonder it is still so rampant under the suppression of the imperial court!"
"This kind of thing cannot just happen to a certain official. If we dig deeper, it will definitely involve many big fish, and maybe it will involve a certain royal relative in the court!" He Anye said helplessly, "What I have been able to do in these years is to eliminate the water thieves near Hangzhou City!"
Xu Qingmo looked at He Anye for a long time, then nodded: "I understand!"
The He family was almost overturned. Over the years, the two uncles had worked hard and cautiously for many years, allowing the He family, a century-old family, to stabilize amid the ups and downs. Although there were no particularly outstanding achievements, it gradually stabilized.
Therefore, Xu Qingmo could understand that He Anye did not delve too deeply into this matter. He needed to stabilize the He family so that the He family's century-old prosperity could continue.
"Now in the capital, His Majesty has become suspicious of the prosperity of water thieves. It's time for Mr. He to petition for the evidence accumulated over the years!" Meng Hetong looked at He Anye and said softly.
He Anye was silent for a long time, and then said: "Master Hou, how do you know that I collected their evidence?"
"Even if you have no intention of serving the country or the people, a smart person should know how to protect himself. If you don't have something important in your hands, how can you protect your innocence in this muddy water?" Meng Hetong looked at it. Looking at He Anye, he said softly.
But until this time, Xu Qingmo suddenly understood why Meng Hetong called him over.
He Anye is Xu Qingmo's uncle, and this water thief with complete household registration died in the hands of Xu Qingmo. He Anye can choose to continue to live in obscurity and keep everything rotten in his stomach, but if so, Xu Qingmo will become a murderer. , when the time comes, he will be turned to the Yamen.
Meng Hetong was using her as a bargaining chip in negotiations with He Anye!
