Hearing this, Xiu immediately showed a look of displeasure.
"Tut, I thought you were very stubborn. You can't even stand this little pain. Boring."
But she turned around and blinked at Lin Mengya.
Zheng Rongrong was scared and didn't realize it until Xiu gave Lin Mengya a secret signal.
It turned out that this was just a trick to extort a confession.
She looked at Sister Su and then at Xiu.
They didn't have any discussion just now. Why did they have such a tacit understanding?
Zheng Rongrong, who was relatively innocent, didn't know that they were very good at this little trick of coercion and bribery.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Then tell me, why did you rob the Chaoyun brocade of the Gong family?"
Jiang De was in great pain, but he didn't dare to keep silent this time.
"Yes, someone told me that if I did that, the Gong family and the Zheng family would definitely turn against each other. And I could take advantage of the entanglement between them to replace the Zheng family. "
What Jiang De didn't say was that Zheng Luxi wanted to rob the Gong family's caravan at the beginning.
But he didn't directly participate in it. Instead, he secretly planted his own men and hid some of his evil deeds in Zheng Luxi's evil deeds.
At that time, even if the Gong family wanted to settle the score, it wouldn't be his turn.
He had made a smart plan. He didn't know that he was suspected because of a few bolts of Chaoyun brocade.
Now, he especially regretted listening to the words of the two ignorant women in the family.
He put on the Chaoyun brocade as the evidence of his crime.
"Who told you that?"
Jiang De hesitated for a moment and his eyes were a little evasive.
"It, it's a mysterious man. I don't know his identity …"
"You don't know, or you don't dare to say it?"
His lie was suddenly exposed, and Jiang De seemed to be very frightened.
After all, he had just seen how vicious this woman was. Now he was afraid that if he didn't tell the truth, he might be killed by her.
But he also had his own concerns. He couldn't afford to offend the Gong family, and he couldn't afford to offend the other side.
Lin Mengya had already seen through his thoughts. She snorted coldly.
"Your Jiang Family's daughter married into the Baili Family, so naturally, she is related to them by marriage. If you can replace the Zheng Family, it will be equivalent to grabbing the throat of my Gong Family. In this way, not only will it affect our Gong Family's trade routes, but it will also allow the Baili Family to use this place as a springboard to attack our Gong Family. Listen to me, right? "
Jiang De only felt that his whole body was penetrated by a chill.
In fact, he was already thinking of how to beg for mercy so that the other party would spare his life.
Lin Mengya looked down at the ambitious good-for-nothing, and her killing intent was already aroused.
"Let me think, how did the Baili family convince you? After all, if you want to become enemies with the Gong Family, I'm afraid you're overestimating your own capabilities. "
Little by little, she uncovered Jiang De's deepest secrets.
He watched as that person gradually became flustered, and in the end, his face turned ashen and filled with despair.
"The Baili Family must have said that the fief of the Gong Family is far away from that of the Baili Family, so if they destroyed the Gong Family, they would need the Qin Family to take care of everything. That's right, how could a small fief of the Zheng Family satisfy your ambition, Master Jiang De? But Master Jiang, aren't you afraid that you'll be stuffed to death with such a big appetite? "
The word "death" was enough to make Jiang De's spirit completely collapse.
He thought that his plan was flawless, but now that it had been completely overturned by her, it had become a knife on his neck.
"I'm wrong! I shouldn't have wishful thinking. Please, please spare my life! All these were done by the Baili Family. They forced me to do it! "
Immediately, a guard came forward and kicked him back to the depths of the stable.
Lin Mengya glanced at the guy who had collapsed, and sneered in her heart.
"You only shed tears at the sight of a coffin. Why don't you care about the consequences when you're courting death?"
"Alright, if you want to live, then tell me your plan. If you dare to hide anything, I'll have your skin peeled off! "
She said sternly, and a guard came forward to drag him away for interrogation.
But she and Xiu saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
Lin Mengya felt extremely lucky now. If they hadn't been secretly investigating the robbery of the caravan to the Bai Family, they would have gone to the Bai Family secretly.
When they found out, the Gong Family would definitely be furious and demand an explanation from the Zheng Family.
If Zheng Rongrong had been killed at that time, Zheng Luxi and the second branch of the Zheng Family had succeeded, and they threatened the Zheng Family with the engagement set by the ancestors of the Gong Family, there would be no possibility of repairing the relationship between the Gong Family and the Zheng Family.
In this way, the Zheng Family would definitely be replaced by the Jiang Family.
By the time they came to their senses, the Baili Family had already planted a spy in the Gong Family's throat without anyone noticing.
By that time, the Gong Family would be in danger.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the ancestors of the Gong Family, which was why they were able to discover the clues in advance.
Even Zheng Rongrong, who didn't know the inside story, kept quiet out of fear because of the serious expressions on their faces.
Lin Mengya held Zheng Rongrong's hand and comforted her softly.
"Rongrong, go back to your room first. Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Zheng Rongrong began to worry about the Baili Family's plot of the Zheng Family's fief again.
But fortunately, Lin Mengya was there, so the situation was not irreversible.
After coaxing Zheng Rongrong back to her room, Lin Mengya, Xiu, and Long Tianhao, who had entered the room earlier, sat around the table.
"No wonder the Baili Family has been quiet all this time. After a long time, they have already extended their hands to the Gong Family."
Since the fall out with the Knights Templar, she knew that she couldn't be friendly with the Baili Family.
These days, both she and Yu, as well as the Gong Family, had been on high alert.
But she didn't expect the Baili Family to have such an idea.
"If they can't control the Zheng Family's fief, then we don't need to worry about it for the time being."
Long Tianhao was naturally aware of the danger.
There was a natural harbor in the Gong Family's fief. Apart from the Zheng Family's fief, they had to pass through rugged mountain roads to take a detour from other fief.
After they came back, the main entrances and exits of the Gong Family had been guarded by the army.
The Baili Family was too far away, so they couldn't do anything to them.
"That's not what I'm afraid of."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Mengya spoke seriously.
"Teacher once told me that sixty to seventy percent of the doctors in the world came from the Baili Family. I'm afraid that if they join forces with the doctors, we will be attacked by them. "
She wasn't afraid of the pressure from the Liao Family because there were so many scholars in the world. Although the Liao Family had a contemporary literary talent, they couldn't completely grasp the pulse of literature.
But the Baili Family's situation was completely different.
In Wei Country, the orthodox doctors not only had to be born in an aristocratic family, but also had to have studied in an aristocratic family of doctors.
For example, Doctor Sun, whom she met in the Zheng Family, was one of them.
If the Baili Family really wanted to attack the Gong Family, once they joined forces with many experts in the medical field, the Gong Family would fall into a situation where there were no doctors available.
People could be illiterate all their lives, but they couldn't not be sick all their lives.
She had established the medical profession to prepare to share such pressure.
Unfortunately, the foundation of the academy was still weak, and it didn't have the strength to fight with the Baili Family.
Xiu, who was skilled in the art of venomous poison, could be considered as half an expert.
She couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, it was a life-threatening matter.
"The Baili Family isn't the only one in the medical field now. It's not easy for them to integrate the whole medical field. "
Long Tianhao had a better understanding of this.
After they left the mountain, he had sent people to infiltrate the aristocratic family of doctors, and now there was some initial success.
But this matter was like a knife hanging over the Gong Family's head, and it might fall heavily and give them a fatal blow at any time.
Xiu was a very perceptive person. Seeing that she was of no use here, she immediately disappeared.
"I'll go to see Rongrong first."
When there were only the two of them in the room, Lin Mengya found that her right hand had been tightly held by him since the beginning.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
His voice was gentle, but it was with certainty that she couldn't doubt.
Lin Mengya took the opportunity to lean into his arms and absorb the warmth from his body.
"You're right, there's nothing to be afraid of."
In life, only by going against the current could one achieve perfection.
"How's Zheng Congen's matter going?"
Speaking of which, there was not much pressure in the aristocratic family meeting, so Long Tianhao left enough people for her to follow up some things in the Zheng Family.
Especially the mysterious guest from the Immortal City. Until now, they still didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
Long Tianhao put her hand on his lips and kissed it a few times, but she pulled her hand back.
Lin Mengya could only glare at him for his "improper" behavior.
She had no choice, because they were legally married.
The corners of Long Tianhao's mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
"Zheng Congen's son has long disappeared. He didn't even find out all these years that his "son", whom he carefully hid and regarded as a treasure, was a fake. "
It was really ironic.
They were all parents, especially Moyan, who was their adopted child.
But Long Tianhao knew that if the same thing happened to them, they couldn't sacrifice one to help the other.
Why should innocent children have to bear the sins left behind by the adults?
Even the missing boy was a poor person. If it weren't for his father's desire to let him inherit a responsibility that he didn't understand at all, maybe he would have a happier and more stable life.
Everything was because of obsession.
