The East Market was the largest and most prosperous market in Karghalik. Of course, compared with the other three places, it sold some necessities for people's daily needs.
Whether it was food or necessities, people could always buy what they wanted here.
The vendors were selling in the divided business areas, and the enthusiastic cries came one after another. However, Lin Mengya had always been a person indifferent to material desires. If she liked something, she would at most pick it up and play with it, and then put it back.
However, she bought a lot of things for children. She held them in her arms in a good mood, for fear that she would leave something behind.
"You don't look like an unmarried young lady at all. Give them to me, I'll help you carry them. "
Gong Wu was just joking with her, but Lin Mengya thought of her child.
Her eyes were a little dim in an instant, and she touched the clothes of the child in her arms. If only Ning was here, at least …
She laughed at herself. In addition to the things for Moyan and Yuanze, there was another set exactly the same, but it was much smaller.
She couldn't think about it anymore. Lin Mengya patted her face, turned around, and looked at her fifth brother, who had aroused her feelings, maliciously.
"Fifth brother, you're not young anymore. Why don't you marry a beautiful wife? In the past, our family was poor, and we were afraid of wronging the girls. Now the situation is different. When I go back, I'll discuss it with great-grandfather and elder brother. "
Lin Mengya tilted her head and looked at Gong Wu with a smile.
However, the latter had an embarrassed look on his face, and he refused without even thinking about it.
"No, no! My good sister, I beg you, let's not talk about it. Don't let great-grandfather and elder brother pick a fight. "
Seeing that Gong Wu was so anxious, Lin Mengya's curiosity was aroused.
"Fifth brother, you don't dare to be a bachelor for a lifetime, do you? Or do you already have someone in your heart, so you're so gentle? Just tell me which girl you like. I'll give you an idea, and I promise that you'll get her easily! "
Gong Wu still shook his head and refused. He was forced by Lin Mengya, so he just said "let's talk when I'm free" and ran away in a panic.
Looking at the guy's back, Lin Mengya couldn't help laughing.
This fifth brother was really cute.
Without Gong Wu's company, Lin Mengya's mood for shopping was not affected at all.
She knew that Gong Wu would be back soon. If he didn't come back, she would go home and complain that he had left her behind on the way.
He excitedly strolled from head to toe, even his stomach was singing an empty fort strategy, but he still did not see his Fifth Brother coming back.
How could this person's skin be so thin?
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya followed the direction in which Gong Wu had escaped.
After passing through a not-so-narrow alley, it was a lot quieter. Although there were still passersby, it should be a residential area.
She saw with her own eyes that Fifth Brother came here. Why did he come here for no reason?
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! "
Suddenly, a howl that sounded like a pig being slaughtered came from not far away.
Lin Mengya was not a person who liked to watch the fun, but after all, Fifth Elder Brother was here, so she subconsciously followed the sound source.
It should be a house, and there were already a lot of people outside the door.
The cries just now came from the crowd.
"You're talking nonsense! Just now, Fifth Young Master didn't do anything at all. Instead, he was the one who spoke rudely, and in the end, he fell to the ground himself! "
The rebuttal was very unfamiliar, but the content caught her attention.
She walked over quietly and even squeezed into the crowd. Soon, she saw the situation in front of her clearly.
A man was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. His face was extremely pale, and scarlet blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
It looked like a corpse, and there was another person standing next to the man.
That person was about 30 years old and was a little short. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a small businessman.
At this moment, he was wailing loudly.
As he cried, he pointed at the people in the house and scolded them.
"Fifth Young Master of the Gong Family! Not only did you rob our ancestral house, you even killed my eldest brother! Today, I, Fang Tong, will fight with you! "
At the gate, her Fifth Brother, who had just disappeared, looked angry.
He stared at that man with his fists clenched.
"Rob your ancestral house? If I remember correctly, this house should have been built 12 years ago, right? This used to be a piece of muddy land. Everyone here who grew up in Karghalik would have rolled around in the mud before returning home. "
Her Fifth Brother's reaction surprised her.
His voice was cold, but he didn't let it get to his head. Instead, he made a reasonable sarcastic remark, which gained the approval of many people who were born and raised in Karghalik.
"You … This land has been passed down from our ancestors. It's our ancestral house!"
That man's expression froze, but he still refused to admit his mistake.
Gong Wu snorted coldly and said, "All the land in Karghalik originally belonged to the Gong Family. You built a house on my land, and I even spent a lot of money to buy it back. Why are you still here? "
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gong Wu finished his words, that man was immediately filled with righteous indignation.
"Did you hear that? The Gong Family wants to drive us out of Karghalik! We just wanted to get our house back, and he killed my big brother! The Gong Family is so cruel! "
At this moment, the change of public opinion caused Gong Wu to gradually lose control of the situation.
Logically speaking, the land belonged to the Gong Family. Even if they built a house on it, there was a law to follow if they wanted to take it back.
However, people were always like this. Even if it was someone else's property, if they borrowed it for a long time, they would habitually think that it belonged to them.
The surrounding people's expressions changed, and their tone was filled with dissatisfaction. It seemed that the Gong Family was using their power to bully others.
Gong Wu bit his lips tightly. He knew that the more he said now, the more mistakes he would make.
However, that damned man was very pleased with himself and continued to mislead the crowd.
Lin Mengya observed the situation and knew that it was time for her to make a move.
She separated herself from the crowd and walked calmly to the side of the 'corpse'. The man who was complaining thought that she was just an ordinary girl, so he didn't stop her, but just stared at her with a sinister look.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Mengya just squatted down, stretched out her soft and slender hand, and gently grasped the pulse of the 'corpse'.
"Ouch …" The man, who had been pretending to be dead, actually woke up.
His eyes were full of tears. When he wanted to pull out his wrist which was in great pain, a small hand held it firmly.
"Who are you? What do you want to do to my elder brother? "
The man was anxious and pointed at her in exasperation as he questioned.
The surrounding crowd suddenly quietened down and looked at the man who 'came back from the dead' in surprise.
"Nothing, just treating his illness. You said you want to take back this house, right? "
The man looked at her gloomily. He really could not imagine what kind of waves a little girl could stir up.
"As far as I know, when the Gong Family bought these houses, there was no private transaction. Everything was done voluntarily by the seller, with the guarantee, and then the transaction was carried out with the registrar who was in charge of the house transactions in the Governor's Mansion. There should be very detailed records kept there, including who went, the amount of the transaction, the date and the address. Now you go back on your words and say that the guarantee and the registrar of the Gong Family made a fake deal, right? "
The man was stunned. He didn't expect that this woman actually knew these details.
When he was about to continue to quibble, he heard the woman continue to speak calmly.
"Originally, the Gong Family wouldn't allow this kind of thing, but since you are so filial, I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, we will return the house to you according to the settlement price of the house. What do you think? "
The woman's voice was soft, but every word was clear.
The man didn't expect that such a woman would come out of nowhere.
He rolled his eyes and said arrogantly.
"Humph, who do you think you are? Can you decide the affairs of the Gong Family?"
Before he finished his words, Gong Wu's face darkened and was overflowing with anger.
Lin Mengya didn't care and waved at Gong Wu.
"Don't worry, I'm not a big deal. You just need to know that I can decide the affairs of the Gong Family."
These two guys were just small fries. She didn't need to be angry with them.
That person coldly snorted in disdain, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"What Gong Family? How dare they let a woman make the decisions. They should have been replaced long ago."
His voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear him.
Gong Wu couldn't hold it in anymore. He broke free from the hands of the people around him and was about to rush over and beat the man to death.
"Brother Wu, stop."
Lin Mengya looked indifferent and stopped Gong Wu with just one sentence.
At this moment, his fist was only an inch away from the man who was talking nonsense.
"You're not from Karghalik, right?"
The man thought that they were afraid and raised his head arrogantly, as if he didn't care about them at all.
Lin Mengya's eyes became colder. If the man knew her character, he would not dare to be so rash.
"This is the fief of the Gong Family. The people of the fief belong to the people. Insulting the Gong Family is equivalent to insulting the royal family. Anyone who dares to offend the Gong Family must be punished severely! "
The man laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke. But as he laughed, he couldn't stop.
His voice gradually became hoarse and shrill. In the end, he seemed to lose control of his gaping mouth. The corner of his mouth split open and blood flowed out. He knelt on the ground, trying hard to close his jaw, but to no avail.
When the people around heard his changed voice, they couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble.
"It seems that even the heavens can't stand it anymore."
She deliberately played it down and pushed the blame to the heavens.
