"What's wrong?"
She wiped her hands and asked casually.
"What else can it be? It's those idlers in Fengyuan City. Those scholars all ran to the Bai family to vouch for Xun Ziyang, saying that he was definitely framed. And those martial artists also went to the guard camp to criticize Bai Lu, saying that he was abusing his position for personal revenge. Tsk, what does it have to do with them. In my opinion, they all have nothing better to do. "
Gong Er actually looked down on these people from the Bai family.
There was no other reason. These people clearly had right hands and feet, but they did not know how to earn their own living. Instead, they came to the Bai family to eat.
Yet the Bai family was not satisfied with feeding them. They even dared to point fingers at their master's territory.
This kind of thing did not happen in the Gong family.
Not to mention the others, even the entire family had their own things to do.
Little sister said that this was called distribution according to work. Those who did not work could only wait to starve to death.
"This is the result of the Bai family's own actions. They must bear the consequences themselves."
She had already expected this situation.
To put it bluntly, the Bai family raised this group of people for their own reputation.
Perhaps it was to increase the Bai family's strength, but in reality, there was a drawback.
If it came too easily, how many would cherish it?
They were used to stretching out their hands and gradually became lazy bones.
She did not believe that in the future when the Bai family could not afford such a large expenditure, these people would immediately hate the Bai family.
This was the logic of helping the needy, not the needy.
Gong Er felt that what she said made sense, but he was still curious.
For example, why did little sister instigate Bai Lu to make a big deal out of this?
After hearing his question, Lin Mengya smiled and said, "Of course, it was to force out the mastermind."
Seeing that her second brother did not understand, she gently explained.
"From the moment Xun Ziyang was captured, Bai Lu had already used all his methods, but Xun Ziyang did not confess. Don't you think it's a little strange? "
"What's wrong with that!" Gong Er curled his lips, "It must be because Bai Lu did not torture him. For someone like Xun Ziyang who has not suffered any major punishment, he would definitely confess after a whip."
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"Using torture on Xun Ziyang is the worst option. Perhaps, people would say that the Bai Family made a confession under torture. In the past, they had missed out on Feng Chen's matter once. If we make another mistake this time, the Bai Family's reputation won't just be ruined. "
The Bai Family itself was not strong. Not to mention the Gong Family, even the declining An Family was stronger than the Bai Family.
However, the Bai family had something that these aristocratic families didn't have: the people's hearts.
Compared to the traditional and inflexible noble families, the Bai family, which chose to lower their statuses and walk the path of being close to the people, was actually more liked by the common people.
However, if one day, the Bai Clan also became an existence that didn't care about the life and death of others and only used power and strength, then to the Bai Clan, it would be no less than a disaster.
Therefore, the Bai Clan didn't dare to gamble because if they lost, it would be a crushing defeat.
Fortunately, they reined in their horses in the nick of time and chose to ally with the Gong family.
Gong Er was actually very meticulous. It was just that he was too lazy to think about these twists and turns.
"How can we rely on others? In the end, our own fists are the hardest. Little sister, what should we do next? "
"We don't need to do anything. Right now, it's them who want to reopen the original case, not us, not the Bai Clan or Feng Chen."
Gong Er was somewhat puzzled.
"This, what's the difference?
？”
"There's a big difference. If Feng Chen insists on reopening the original case, he doesn't have the qualifications. You must know, at that time, many people saw Feng Chen injure Xun Ziyang with their own eyes. And he himself, was not cleared of his crime. In the eyes of the people, he is still a 'sinner'. "
Raising her eyebrows, she continued to say: "A sinner is not qualified, then what about the Bai Clan? At that time, this case was settled by the Bai Clan. Now that the Bai Clan brought it up, isn't it slapping their own face? This way, it will affect the Bai Clan's prestige. In the future, I'm afraid that everyone will question the Bai Clan's judgment. This is not a good thing. "
Gong Er finally understood and slapped his head.
"So, you let Bai Lu spread that news, to make those people take the initiative to bring up the matter of reopening the case?"
She nodded and added: "This way, on the surface, it looks like those people want to clear Xun Ziyang's name. The Bai Clan is just 'following the will of the people'. And in the process of reopening the case, everyone will see themselves as participants, so they will naturally play a supervisory role. You must know that the one who is guilty is Xun Ziyang. "
Gong Er slapped his thigh, laughing recklessly and carefreely.
"I say, little sister, this plan of yours is too clever!"
Lin Mengya shrugged her shoulders. This was nothing.
She was afraid that right now, Xun Ziyang, in the prison, would hate these busybodies to death.
"However, in the next few days, you must keep a close eye on Second Older Brother for me. It's impossible for Xun Ziyang's side to not make a move. There are some things that I must make clear. "
She narrowed her eyes, hiding the chill that was spreading in the depths of her eyes.
The contents of the letter that she had found on Sir Xun Yang's table could only be known by those who had been to the academy.
Someone was hiding in the dark, trying to harm the academy. If this person was hiding among the Bai Clan's hangers-on, then she had to be careful.
After all, she couldn't just let go of the jackals and then attract a poisonous snake.
Her academy had to be clean and tidy.
Gong Er was not careless, and in order to escort the Liao Clan, he had brought quite a few people.
This group of people had practically become Lin Mengya's personal power. There were also the people from the Dragon-Subduing Hall branch and the people that Long Tianhao had left behind to protect her in secret.
It could be said that if she wanted to overturn this city, she could do it as easily as blowing off dust.
Therefore, she had to keep a close eye on it, lest someone with ulterior motives sneak into the academy.
Gong Er personally went to work, monitoring the situation on Xun Ziyang's side day and night.
Lin Mengya didn't have much free time before she was secretly invited over by the Bai Clan.
This time, there was no one at her side, so Bai Shi 'an volunteered to walk at her side.
"You said that the First Master of the Bai Clan wants to see me?"
She kept her eyes forward, not noticing the joy that flashed through Bai Shi 'an's eyes.
"Yes, after Big Brother woke up, he specifically asked to see you."
"Why?"
She looked at Bai Shi 'an, but the latter avoided her eyes somewhat unnaturally.
"I don't know either. Maybe, Big Brother feels guilty."
Guilty? She didn't think so.
Bai Chunan was such a stubborn person. The evidence had been thrown in his face, but he still refused to admit it.
Wasn't it a little too late to learn from Bai Shi 'an now?
Thinking of this, she still followed Bai Shi 'an to the courtyard of the first branch of the Bai Clan.
The first person to come out to greet them was Elder Madam Bai.
That day, she was not kidnapped. In the end, it was the maidservant who found out that she was knocked unconscious and thrown into the woodshed.
However, compared to the grief and anger she felt last time, this time,
Elder Madam Bai looked a little guilty when she saw her this time.
"Young lady, you're here."
"Hello, Elder Madam."
She greeted her as usual, and her attitude was just right. It was as if she was meeting a stranger for the first time, polite and distant, but no one could find any fault with her.
Elder Madam Bai was too shy to raise her head, and could only say, "The First Master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."
"Thank you, Madam."
She followed Elder Madam Bai into the bedroom of the Bai Clan for the second time.
Actually, as a woman, it was not appropriate for her to enter someone's bedroom openly.
Last time, there were too many people, but this time, the First Master Bai could not even get out of bed.
Elder Madam Bai and Bai Shi 'an were afraid that Lin Mengya would mind, but Lin Mengya's face was as calm as still water, without any shyness. They could not help but feel ashamed of themselves, and felt that they were really mean.
Elder Madam Bai opened the door to the bedroom, and the First Master Bai was lying on the bed, with a complicated look on his face.
Especially when he saw her, there was only regret on his face.
"Miss Su."
"Hello, Master Bai."
Bai Chunan tried to find a trace of anger, pride, or any other expression on Su Mei's face, but he was disappointed.
Her smile was perfect, and her eyes were impeccable.
Even the First Master Bai could not help but ask her why she did not feel like a winner when he was such a loser.
Unfortunately, Bai Chunan did not understand that in Lin Mengya's eyes, Bai Chunan had never been an enemy.
It was not that she was a saint, but he was not qualified.
"Miss Su, have you gotten used to living here these days?"
"I'm fine."
Bai Chunan was speechless, but then he realized something, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"What happened before was my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I was blinded by greed, and did all these wrong things to you. As long as you can forgive me, I'm willing to be anyone, even if I have to die. "
"Master!"
Elder Madam Bai was shocked, and quickly stopped him.
The First Master Bai's eyes were filled with determination, as if he had made up his mind.
Elder Madam Bai's face darkened, and suddenly turned her head away, covering her mouth.
Bai Shi 'an looked at his elder brother, as if he wanted to say something, but on second thought, he looked very dispirited.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, sat beside him, drinking tea calmly.
Was the Bai family's habit of talking to themselves hereditary?
She had not said anything yet, had she?
The atmosphere was gloomy and sad.
The First Master Bai was in a state of atonement, anxious and desperate, waiting for her final verdict.
On the other hand, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
The Bai family could not help but feel anxious. It was coming, it was finally coming!
As long as Su Mei made a request, they would do it no matter what.
The girl put the teacup aside, and opened her cherry lips slightly.
"Hey, can I have a cup of flower tea?"
"Huh?"
Bai Chunan was a little confused, and stared at her in confusion.
The girl smiled shyly, and pointed to the teacup, and said, "I've never liked to drink bitter tea. At home, I drink light tea and scented tea. The tea in your house is indeed good, but I'm not used to it. Can I have something else? "
