Compared to the lifeless An family, the Gong family was full of vitality.
They met many people who were migrating here along the way.
It seemed that Lin Mengya and the others had done a good job. However, the more people there were, the more trouble there would be.
On the premise of ensuring that the lives of the natives would not be disturbed, there had to be some relevant regulations to properly settle the outsiders.
"Something seems to have happened in front. Wait here for me."
Qinghu's voice came from outside the carriage.
Through the window, she saw Qinghu riding a horse forward alone.
Indeed, there were some noises, but they had not stopped since they entered the North Ridge's territory.
After a while, Qinghu came back.
"The Gong family is really good at doing business. Everyone has to pay three taels of silver to enter the city. I heard that it was only two taels yesterday. "
Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
Three taels of silver was not much to them, but it was a big expense for the ordinary people.
Her eldest brother and the others should have known about the situation here.
But how could such a thing happen?
"Let's go and have a look."
The four of them got out of the carriage and walked to the city gate.
The situation here was still orderly. The carriages and the pedestrians were divided into two rows. They only looked at the number of people entering the city, not the carriages.
Although there were many people complaining, at least they did not cause any trouble.
The people who guarded the city and collected the money were all sent by the Gong family.
His attitude couldn't be said to be cordial and polite, but at least he didn't order the commoners around.
Lin Mengya felt a little relieved.
It seemed that her eldest brother and the others were very capable.
Just after they paid the entrance fee and entered the city, they heard a loud shout coming from inside.
"Stop right there! If you let me catch you, I'll definitely skin you alive! "
The voice was furious. In an instant, the crowd in front of them moved. Soon, a thin figure came in front of them.
Qinghu wanted to ignore it, but the person was like a headless fly, heading straight for him.
He stretched out his long arm and was about to stop the person.
But he did not expect that the person was carrying a knife.
The silver dagger was extremely sharp, and the person was also a ruthless person. He took the opportunity to stab Qinghu in the stomach.
But who was Qinghu?
There was only a slight cold snort, and the person who was as slippery as a fish was slapped away by him.
"Quick, catch him!"
Seeing that person fly out, the person chasing after him didn't say anything and went forward to hold him down.
In just a few moves, the half-dead guy was firmly tied up.
"Thank you, Young Master. My name is Gong Xun. Sorry for the fright."
Lin Mengya's eyes lit up, but she quickly hid it.
Actually, in the Gong family, she was most familiar with her brothers. As for the others, she did not have much contact with them.
Seeing that the other party looked so young, it was likely that he had come from his old home to separate from the family.
"It's fine."
Qinghu was cold and indifferent to everyone. Although Gong Xun had a burly appearance, he didn't mind Qinghu's attitude at all.
"I still have things to do, so I won't bother you two. If you two have any difficulties here, you can look for me at the patrol team. Farewell, the two of you. "
He did things in a neat and efficient manner, without the slightest bit of arrogance. Gong Xun was a useful person.
Seeing him lead his subordinates away the person who had attacked them earlier, Lin Mengya felt a little puzzled.
She had originally thought that the person was just a thief, but she didn't expect that the way he had handled things could be considered vicious and crafty.
There were so many people moving around in the city, so there would definitely be problems with public security.
Things were probably more complicated than she had imagined.
All the inns in the city were full. Fortunately, only the direct descendants of the Gong family and some families that were closely related could stay in the Peace Inn of the Gong family.
She took the token that her Big Brother had left for her and quickly found two rooms.
Just as she was about to go up and rest, she was blocked by someone.
"Wait, you can't leave!"
She glanced at the person in front of her. It was a young girl with delicate features. Based on her attire, she should be the servant of a young lady from a certain family.
However, the arrogance on her face made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Get out of my way."
Bai Su Chen lowered his face and stood in front of her.
"Why are you so fierce? You, give one of the rooms to my young lady! "
Ha, what a big tone.
It was the first time that someone dared to ask her to give up her room in her inn.
"Miss, there are indeed no extra rooms in the inn. And this young lady is a close friend of our Gong family. Please, make it convenient for us. "
Seeing this, the innkeeper immediately walked out to smooth things over.
Lin Mengya didn't know that the token that her Big Brother had given her was of the highest level in the Gong family.
Seeing it was like seeing her Big Brother in person.
The An family didn't have such treatment back then.
Not to mention getting two rooms, even if they sold the inn, they would still greet her politely.
In short, the innkeeper understood that this person couldn't be easily offended.
"Get out of my way! Close friend? Let me tell you, my young lady is the future Young Mistress of the Gong family. She might even be the future wife of the head of the family. Hmph, I want that room of hers! "
She had seen many arrogant maids.
But it was really rare to see one who could be spoiled like this.
She didn't want to pay any attention to such a person.
"Baisu, let's go upstairs."
She said indifferently. Baisu nodded. The three of them were about to go upstairs, but the maid dared to push them.
"How dare you touch my young lady. You can try."
Baisu's voice was cold, but the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, shining with cold light, which made the maid shrink her neck involuntarily.
Her eyes were extremely cold. The maid had never seen such a woman, so she subconsciously moved aside to make way for them to go upstairs.
"Interesting."
Qinghu's eyes flickered slightly. After glancing at the maid, he chuckled.
"Don't make a big deal out of it. She is just a maid."
Lin Mengya said softly.
Qinghu looked away, but his lips curled up into a cold smile.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. If she wants to die, she can't blame anyone. "
"That's right."
Lin Mengya was completely speechless.
She looked at Qinghu and Baisu, who had already reached a consensus, and sighed in her heart.
They just wanted to push her a little, and they didn't even push her. How did it become a heinous crime when it came to the two of them?
Shaking her head, she led Xiu and Baisu into the room.
She was a little curious about the maidservant's words.
Could it be that she was the fiancée of one of his older brothers?
But before she came back, she often corresponded with her brothers, but she had never heard them mention it.
It seemed like people were afraid of fame as pigs were afraid of being fat.
"Dong, dong, dong." The sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard.
She frowned slightly, but before she could speak, Baisu had already leaped to the door with her sword in hand.
"Who?"
"Open the door! My Young Miss wants to see you! "
It was that maidservant who blocked the way just now. She was really speechless.
Why couldn't he shake them off?
"I won't see him."
Baisu shouted coldly in an unfriendly tone.
However, the people outside did not give up and continued to take pictures.
"You don't want to see me just because you say so? My family's young miss wants to see you, that's your great fortune. Hmph, if it was someone else, perhaps they would have long since tried to curry favor with him! "
In this world, there were people who always thought that they were the best in the world.
They didn't know that there was always someone better than them in this world.
Lin Mengya smiled gently. She was afraid that the "Young Mistress of the Gong Family" didn't know that the real decision-making power of the Gong Family was in her hands.
As the saying goes, one must choose a virtuous wife. Based on the quality of this maidservant, this person could not enter the door of the Gong Family.
The door was slammed loudly. Finally, Baisu couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly opened the door.
The maidservant didn't pay attention and staggered in.
"What do you want? My Young Miss said that she won't see you! "
Baisu frowned and said coldly.
However, the maidservant glared at her angrily. Finally, she seemed to have thought of something and restrained herself.
"I know what you're thinking. It's just a room, isn't it? My Young Miss said that she has her own standards, so she let you have it. My Young Miss is so tolerant, so your Young Miss should at least show some appreciation, right? "
Baisu was so angry that she almost laughed.
This room belonged to them in the first place. What kind of logic did this person have with her young miss? How dare he ask them to thank him?
"I'm not free."
As she said this, she was about to close the door. However, unexpectedly, the maidservant was agile and squeezed in between the door.
"Alright, don't pretend to be virtuous. To put it bluntly, aren't you all here for the young masters of the Gong Family? My Young Miss is different from you. She is the fiancée of the eldest young master of the Gong Family. If you're obedient and sensible, maybe my Young Miss can put in a good word for you. "
It turned out that there was such a relationship.
However, Lin Mengya had never heard her great-grandfather and eldest brother mention it before.
Moreover, from what she said, it seemed that many people were here for the four brothers.
In this case, she really had to "find out about the enemy".
"Really?"
When Baisu was about to drive them away, she heard her master's voice coming from inside the room.
The maidservant showed a complacent look, as if she was sure that Baisu would be tempted.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, then forget it. However, if others beat you to it, you'll lose more than you gain. "
She walked out with a smile on her face.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you."
The maidservant looked her up and down, smiled disdainfully, and turned to leave.
"Come with me."
Baisu and Xiu looked at each other. They were not very clear about what Lin Mengya was planning.
"Bang!" Before they reached the door, they heard the sound of something being smashed.
Lin Mengya immediately frowned.
However, the maidservant was not surprised at all. She heard a shrill female voice coming from inside.
