"This is a good thing. It will save us a lot of trouble in the future."
After Gong Bin finished speaking, he and Gong San looked at each other. The tacit understanding between the brothers made the two of them have the same idea.
However, the two of them did not want to say it out loud. It would make everyone worry. And now, they hoped that they were just worrying for nothing.
"That's right. I didn't expect that little sister would have such an opportunity outside. It is indeed the blessing of the Gong Family's ancestors in heaven, isn't it, little sister? "
Gong Wu did not think about such a far-reaching problem. Now, he was filled with joy.
"Don't get carried away and talk nonsense. The fact that little sister is good at medicine must not be known by anyone. Otherwise, I will be used by others. Do you understand?"
Looking at his big brother who suddenly became serious, Gong Wu could only nod his head obediently.
Lin Mengya also seemed to have sensed something, but it was obviously not a good time to ask.
But in the future, she would have to be more careful.
"Now, Auntie's illness is no longer urgent, but that uncle can no longer stay here. As for how to settle him down, I'll have to ask Big Brother to decide."
This incident had shocked the Gong Family quite a bit.
And this kind of thing did not only happen in this small city.
Because of the Gong family's loss of power, this kind of thing happened countless times.
The only thing they could do was to let the Gong family recover their strength as soon as possible. Only then, this kind of thing would happen less.
"I have already asked someone to stay behind to take care of uncle's family. Now, the people in the city are not calm. If we leave rashly, I'm afraid we will be used by others. So, I want uncle and the rest to stay here to recuperate. When we return from Xin Province, we will pick them up. "
Her big brother had always been considerate. She had nothing to worry about.
"Since that is the case, then we will continue our journey tomorrow. Luckily, Xin Province is not far from here. If we hurry up, we will be there in a few days. "
Other than here, the other places were definitely in chaos.
They did not have enough time to deal with them one by one. They could only focus on the matters of Xin Province.
If they were slightly relaxed before they left, then now, the hearts of every Gong family member were heavy.
They were burdened with the blood feud of countless members of the Gong Family, and all of this was due to the greed of those fellows.
This time, they went not only to tell the world that the Gong family had returned.
They also had to warn them that from now on, the Gong family would take back everything!
It was as if the heavens felt the grief and anger in the hearts of the Gong family. The originally sunny weather was now covered with dark clouds.
The Gong family traveled all the way and arrived at the border of Xin Province in a few days.
And at this time, there were only two days left before the slave auction began.
"Everyone, stay in the city for the night. Keep your spirits up and don't let anything happen to you, understand?"
Gong Bin calmly ordered. Along the way, they attracted the attention of some people.
However, because they were focused on their journey, they handled many matters in a low-profile manner. Therefore, very few people knew that they were the Gong family.
But at Xin Province, there were many things that they had to be known.
Otherwise, he would be the one losing face.
The auction was held in a place called Golden Warehouse Harbor in Xin Province.
This place was originally the Gong Clan's fief, but a few decades ago, it was forcefully 'borrowed' by the Rong Clan and the Xu Clan for various reasons.
In fact, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else how barbaric and domineering it was to borrow the money.
Now that he was holding a slave auction in a place like Xin Province, it was obvious that he was giving the Gong Family no face.
"Big Brother, are we still going to find the inn from before?"
Gong Wu looked around curiously. He had the temperament of a young man. This was the first time he saw such a bustling city. He couldn't help but look left and right.
Jin Cang Port was a very big port. Next to it was a medium-sized city called Jin Cang City.
There were many ships and merchants here. Other than the merchants who sold slaves, there were also foreign merchants who sold the special products of different countries.
But in this place, there was a strict division of people.
The first class were the sons of the aristocratic families. The second class were the merchants of the country.
The merchants from foreign countries were the third class. And the last class were the slaves that were sold.
Actually, among the slaves, the price and status of the country's slaves were higher than the foreign slaves.
If a slave made a mistake and was killed by the master, the master would have to compensate. But for the slaves from foreign countries, if they died, no one would seek justice for them.
Lin Mengya looked at the tall city walls of Jin Cang City. She couldn't help but feel a chill.
This city was built on piles of bones. The smiles on the faces of those people were mixed with a disturbing smell of blood.
Did they know that everything in this city was bought with the flesh and blood of those slaves?
Lin Mengya let out a long sigh. They only knew that they were using the prosperity of Xin Province to humiliate the Gong family. However, they did not know that such a place that had already been soaked in blood, even if the Gong family rose again, they would never want to take it back.
"Yes, we used to have an inn here. But why didn't we see anyone at the city gates? "
Along the way, Gong Bin had already sent his capable men to investigate along the way.
According to their agreement, that person should have arrived long ago.
Why was it that they still couldn't find any trace of that person when they reached the city?
And he had even sent a messenger pigeon to that person last night, explaining the time of their arrival. That person said that everything was normal.
Even if there were many people, their group was still very conspicuous.
They shouldn't have missed it.
Could it be that there was an accident?
"Maybe they were delayed by something. Why don't we go there directly? That person is there after all, right?"
Lin Mengya was a little unused to the liveliness here. She had previously floated on the sea for ten months. After coming to the Gong family, she spent most of her time at home reading.
Now that she was in such a noisy place, she only felt as if there was a little person beating drums in her head. It made her slightly irritated.
Gong Bin knew that this was the only way for now.
Luckily, he knew the exact location of the inn and directly brought them to the Tai Ning Inn in Jin Cang City.
After passing through a few streets, they came to a quiet alley. There weren't many people here.
Lin Mengya then slowly heaved a sigh of relief. She was finally saved.
"You guys wait here first. Lao Wu, come with me to take a look."
Gong Bin was afraid that there would be some changes inside. He ordered people to protect his little sister and asked Gong Wu to go and knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, after just two knocks, a head mysteriously popped out from inside.
"Eldest Young Master, Fifth Young Master!"
That person exclaimed in surprise. Then, he opened the door like a thief and invited the group of people in.
Although the outside looked a little shabby, the inside still maintained the usual good taste of the Tai Ning Inn.
However, compared to the one they saw before, the scale of this place was bigger.
It was hard for this young man to clean up this place in such a short period of time.
"Little Lu, what's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you to wait for us outside today? Why are you still holed up here? "
Gong Bin frowned. Gong Lu was his cousin. Gong Lu had always been reliable and cautious, so he was assigned to this place.
Who would have thought that this person would almost make a mistake at such a crucial moment?
If it wasn't for the fact that the inside of the inn was well tidied up, Little Lu would have suffered a lot.
"I … I was wrong. Please forgive me, Big Brother."
Gong Lu lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Gong Bin wanted to say something but was stopped by Gong Si.
"Big Brother, in my opinion, let's forget it. Little Lu is only nineteen now. It's his first time doing such a big task. It's inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Besides, didn't we find it? "
Gong Si's gentle and soft words finally saved Gong Lu.
Gong Lu immediately bowed his head and promised that he would not do it again. Only then did Gong Bin let him go.
"Come, this is the First Miss I mentioned in the letter."
Gong Bin introduced Gong Lu with a smile. Unexpectedly, Gong Lu was not as enthusiastic and frightened as he expected.
He just bowed and found an excuse to leave.
"This child is getting more and more unruly. After this matter is settled, I have to go back and teach him a good lesson. "
Gong Bin's words made Lin Mengya think.
However, the tiredness of the journey overwhelmed all her doubts. Now she just wanted to take a good bath, then change into clean clothes and have a good sleep.
She slept until the next day.
Just when Baisu went out to help her get breakfast, someone gently looked at her door.
"Come in."
Because there were no outsiders in the inn except the people of the Gong Family, she did not have much vigilance.
"First Miss."
Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Gong Lu, who ignored her yesterday.
"What's the matter?"
It was not that she did not like this boy.
It was just that from the first time they met, she always felt that this child had an inexplicable hostility towards her.
She could not think of a reason for this child to resent her. After all, she had a tolerant heart for the people of the Gong Family.
But what was going on with this child?
"I heard that First Miss is from Yizhou overseas?"
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently. She watched the child put down the copper basin for washing his face and turned to not far away from her. He lowered his head, so she could not see his expression.
"Then, I want to show you something. I don't know if you have seen it before."
"What?"
The child stretched out a hand, in his palm was a delicate phoenix hairpin.
She frowned slightly. How could this thing be in his hands?
"Where did you get this thing?"
She not only knew the phoenix hairpin in front of her, but she was also very familiar with it.
