Lin Mengya had an idea. Since her master and the others could not poach him, it did not mean that her disciple could not.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Shi 'an, which made the latter tremble.
Why did he feel that the girl's eyes were as bright as a cat's when it saw a little mouse?
Involuntarily, he shifted his buttocks outwards.
Lin Mengya probably realized that her eyes were a little too explicit. She blinked her eyes and tried to get rid of the little "evidence" that she had revealed just now.
"I'm just a little surprised."
It would have been better if she had not explained. Now that she had, it made Bai Shi 'an even more uneasy.
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
After thinking about it, he could only think of this possibility.
He did not know that the guy in front of him was actually thinking of taking advantage of his family's talent.
Lin Mengya shrugged and smiled.
Not to mention a grudge, she just wanted to take him away now.
Lin Mengya did not want to reveal anything in front of him, so she immediately changed the topic.
"We welcome you to teach in the academy, but are you really so assured? Your brother and niece are not easy to deal with. "
Although they were locked up, they were after all blood relatives of the Bai family.
She was more afraid that if she took away Bai Shi 'an, a sensible person, the Bai family would sooner or later fall into internal strife.
Instead of having an ally who could betray her at any time, it was better to keep Bai Shi 'an at home and use him as a stabilizing force.
Bai Shi 'an looked a little helpless when he mentioned these two people.
"I think after this incident, my father and second brother should be more careful. Can I protect the Bai family for the rest of my life? "
This person's "understanding" was really thorough.
Lin Mengya nodded. She finally understood Bai Shi 'an's plan.
If the Bai family was still the same as before, no matter how powerful Bai Shi 'an was, there would come a day when he would be powerless.
After the two finalized some details, Bai Shi 'an left with a satisfactory answer.
At the same time, there was a lot of good news from her third brother.
Except for a few old men who were not in good health and could not stand the long journey, the others almost all agreed to go to the Gong family to teach.
Even this morning, when the Bai family put up the notice that the two families were going to work together, those people finally gave a positive answer.
From the looks of it, let alone a single academy, it would be more than enough to deal with another one.
However, unlike the Bai family, the academy did not have a plan.
What had been built now was only the first phase of the Four Tai Academy.
With the development of trade routes and the establishment of large chambers of commerce, the cooperation between the Gong family and those aristocratic families would become closer.
As for the Four Tai Academy, they would expand their connections and take in more students from all over the world.
These teachers could be put to good use.
Lin Mengya simply asked Third Brother a few questions, and then she was relieved to let him handle everything.
Compared to the Gong Family, the Bai Family seemed to be in an awkward situation.
Not to mention how many bad things had happened to their family, even Feng Chen's old case was inextricably linked to them.
Who asked the Bai Clan's Eldest Master, Bai Chunan, to be among those who supported Xun Ziyang?
But right now, Bai Chunan had no time to care about them. He was still confined to his room by the head of the Bai family, and no one could get him out.
The Bai family was clearly no longer in a position to make decisions on this matter. Later, after going around in circles, the matter ended up in the hands of the guard camp.
For this reason, the commander had to personally oversee the case.
As one of the witnesses, Bai Lu had also temporarily stepped down from his position as captain of the guard camp, ready to act as a witness at any time.
Xun Ziyang had originally been quite confident, for no other reason than that he knew that the Eldest Master of the Bai Clan would not sit idly by.
But he had never expected that not only would Bai Chunan not show his face, the person sent by the commander would only bring back one piece of news.
Bai Chunan could not remember what had happened that year very clearly.
What did this mean? It meant that Bai Chunan had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
Instantly, Xun Ziyang panicked.
Fortunately, he quickly calmed down. Although he could not count on Bai Chunan, he still had others.
After some thought, he bribed a guard and had him send a letter to Sir Xun Yang.
The next day, Sir Xun Yang came alone.
"Father! Father, please save me! "
In the prison, the moment Xun Ziyang saw Sir Xun Yang, he cried for help.
When the latter saw that Xun Ziyang was in a sorry state, but he truly had not been mistreated, he instantly felt at ease.
"Ziyang, don't be afraid."
"Father, how could I not be afraid? That Feng Chen, he just wanted to kill me. "
Xun Ziyang's body trembled as he wept, and his words carried a hint of regret.
Sir Xun Yang had always paid close attention to this matter, so before coming, he had made some inquiries.
Now that he saw this son of his that he had always felt guilty about, his heart still didn't feel good.
"Was Bai Lu really the one who broke Feng Chen's leg?"
Without even thinking about it, Xun Ziyang pushed the entire matter onto Bai Lu.
"Yes, Bai Lu personally told me. Back then, in order to curry favor with you, he wanted Feng Chen to quickly admit his guilt, so he was a bit heavy-handed! Father, don't listen to those people's lies. They all have bad intentions. "
"Then what about Song Xing?"
After a moment's hesitation, Xun Ziyang put on a pained and hateful expression.
"In truth, I've never told anyone about this matter. On that day, I mistakenly killed Song Xing because he only had himself to blame. He took advantage of Your Highness's illness to steal the family's goods to sell. I was so angry that I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't expect that he would fly into a rage out of humiliation and try to kill me. Father, this child knows his mistake. "
He lowered his head, seeming rather ashamed.
But when Sir Xun Yang looked at the man in front of him, he felt his chest tighten.
The prison instantly fell silent. Xun Ziyang mentally muttered to himself.
He knew the old man's personality. Hearing him say this, he would definitely feel that Song Xing's crime was just what he deserved.
But why wasn't there the slightest reaction?
He stealthily raised his head, but because of the darkness of the prison, he couldn't clearly see his father's expression.
"Was it really because Song Xing attacked you first that you … that you killed him?"
There was already a hint of disappointment in Sir Xun Yang's words, but Xun Ziyang believed that it was because Song Xing had served him for so many years.
"I didn't do it on purpose. The situation at the time was very dangerous. I also … also had no other choice."
He believed that his acting had been flawless, but what made him somewhat uneasy was that after learning of all this, not only did the old man not immediately release him, he also didn't clamor to find Bai Lu and the others to demand justice.
Instead, after looking at him for a while, he quietly left.
Biting his lip, Xun Ziyang became more and more bewildered the more he thought, but he still didn't know where he had gone wrong.
He could only think that it was because this matter had too much of an impact on the old man.
Sir Xun Yang's body stiffened as he walked out of the prison.
And outside, someone was waiting for him.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Bai Lu worriedly walked over and supported Sir Xun Yang's arm.
The latter lightly patted his hand, wanting to say something but hesitating.
At this moment, several other people also came forward to welcome him.
As the person in charge of this case, it was also Bai Shi 'an who had permitted Sir Xun Yang's visit.
Behind him stood Lin Mengya and Gong San.
"Sir, how are you?"
Bai Shi 'an followed Bai Lu's example, stepping forward to greet him.
Sir Xun Yang's complexion was rather unsightly, like bitterness and shock.
Lin Mengya secretly observed. It seemed that the plan she had given Bai Shi 'an had clearly been effective.
Sir Xun Yang sighed and forcefully swallowed the words that had reached his mouth. Only then did he notice the two people behind Bai Shi 'an.
He recognized the man. He was the third young master of the Gong clan, but the woman …
Bai Shi 'an saw that he had already noticed and unhurriedly introduced, "This is someone you've met before, the third young master of the Gong clan, Gong Jiao. This is the adopted daughter of the Gong clan and also the female principal of the Four Tai Academy, Lady Su Mei."
Sir Xun Yang's attitude towards Gong San was rather complicated.
But the other person made him rather surprised.
Lin Mengya did not miss the other's expression and knew that there was definitely some misunderstanding. Smiling, she said, "I see that Sir is rather tired. How about finding a place to rest for a while?"
Without waiting for a refusal, Bai Shi 'an immediately responded.
Very quickly, they were invited by Bai Lu into the barracks of the guard camp.
This was originally where he stayed when he was on duty, but because he often came here, it was well-equipped.
After pouring a cup of coarse tea for everyone, Bai Shi 'an finally spoke.
"Sir, I know that Sir feels very uncomfortable, but there truly are many points of doubt about the matter back then. I think that Sir also wishes to find out the truth, right? "
Sir Xun Yang had originally not wanted to speak in front of outsiders, but it was clear that the people in the room were all concerned.
He faintly sighed and twirled the paper in his hand.
He had been unyielding his entire life, but now that he had encountered such a matter, how could he not feel sad?
"I know what you mean. Ziyang, I also didn't expect that he would become like this."
His brow tightly creased, Sir Xun Yang sank into deep thought.
Lin Mengya knew the reason for his shock.
Probably not even Xun Ziyang himself knew why, after his identity was confirmed, Song Xing was the first person to support him and protect him.
It was because Song Xing was his uncle.
Sir Xun Yang's wife had died young. Although Song Xing was somewhat lacking, he had a deep sibling relationship with his older sister.
However, he was young, not steady and playful, so when he brought his nephew to seek shelter with his brother-in-law, they lost the only child of his brother-in-law and his older sister.
From that point on, he was willing to become a servant to take care of his brother-in-law and atone for his sins.
When Feng Chen appeared, he had originally been overjoyed.
Unfortunately, Xun Ziyang was very good at currying favor with others, so Song Xing mistakenly believed that this was because of the blood relationship between uncle and nephew, so he vigorously supported Xun Ziyang.
Who could have expected that he would die at the hands of his most beloved nephew?
