Seeing her admit to it, these people couldn't help but straighten their backs a little more.
There were even some who sneered and angrily glared at her as if she had committed some unpardonable crime.
But Lin Mengya was in no hurry. She only glanced at these people and then made no move.
Although these people seemed to have the advantage in numbers, her side was still not at a disadvantage.
Sir Xunyang was not blind. After silently observing these two sides for a while, a faint sense of unease floated into his heart.
Bai Cheng did not know the reason behind this, but seeing her so frank, he couldn't help but have a good impression of her and his attitude softened somewhat.
"Since we all know each other, it's better to say some things openly to avoid any misunderstandings."
"How could there be any misunderstandings?"
A thin scholar walked out of the group.
However, this person did not have the upright and clear feeling that Sir Xunyang had. On the contrary, his face was sinister and ruthless.
At this moment, he was looking at Lin Mengya with a murderous gaze.
Moreover, it was not yet late autumn, yet the man was already wearing a thick woolen hat that covered his head and hair tightly.
His sleeves were also especially wide, making it almost impossible to see his left and right hands.
He stood in front of Lin Mengya and said through gritted teeth, "Sir Su Mei, I trust you have been well since we last met."
Lin Mengya had recognized him long ago.
Her eyes flitted over his right hand and ultimately fell on his face. Smiling, she replied, "Isn't this Sir Cong? I heard that you're currently working as a private tutor for the Baili clan. I don't know what kind of wind blew you here. Or is it that you feel that the Baili clan doesn't suit your taste and have switched to the embrace of the Bai clan? "
Cong Zong was one of the teachers that she had purged from the academy.
She had not forgotten how arrogant these people had been in front of her.
But she remembered that in the end, she had had their eyebrows and hair shaved off, had their right hands broken, and then thrown in front of the Baili clan.
From the looks of it, they were probably not doing so well.
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned this, but the moment she did, Cong Zong trembled in anger.
"You! What a vicious woman! Since you still haven't forgotten me, then I'll properly ask you for advice! Back then, I just wanted to find a better job. You let us go on the surface, but you secretly ordered people to kill us. If it weren't for my great luck, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of a vicious woman like you! "
Were they trying to distort the truth? Lin Mengya sneered in her heart, but she did not spoil him at all.
"Mr. Cong, we have to start from the beginning."
Unhurriedly, she turned to the side with more people and her face darkened.
"This Cong Zong was once one of the instructors of our Four Tai Academy. At that time, the academy had just been established, and there were many things waiting to be done. There were many teachers who went through thick and thin with us. Our Gong family will remember this."
She changed the topic and her eyes turned cold.
"However, there are people who want to fish in troubled waters. You're clearly receiving my Gong family's salary, but your heart is set on the outside. Who would want to use such a person? "
Cong Zong's eyes flashed with a trace of anger when his secret was exposed.
However, he knew that he would not be defeated today. At the thought of taking revenge on this woman who had ruined his life, he could not help but feel waves of crazy hatred grow in his heart.
"Since there's no evidence, of course I'll let you sow discord. Everyone!" He raised his voice and said, "Today, I'll let everyone see how vicious this woman is!"
He raised his hands, only to see that the two arms hidden in the wide sleeves had been severed from the wrists.
It must have been a long time, so the broken parts had already formed scars.
However, the two bare arms shocked the people around him.
Immediately, there was a discussion among the crowd.
"Both of his arms were cut off. How much hatred does she have?"
"Even if there's hatred, killing someone is just a small matter. Torturing someone like this is really not right."
"That's right. I didn't expect that girl to be so vicious when she looks so gentle and weak. How unexpected. "
"If we were to live under her hands in the future, it would be even more difficult for us!"
Similar words did not escape her ears at all.
She finally understood why. This was probably the other party's true goal.
Even if she hadn't come to accuse Sir Xunyang, they would probably have found an opportunity to smear her name with all their might.
Now, it was time for them to take advantage of the situation.
The rumors in the crowd were like wildfire, instantly sweeping through the crowd.
She still stood there, calm and composed, but no matter how one looked at it, she seemed weak and powerless.
Bai Cheng couldn't help but frown at this sight.
Putting aside whether the matter was true or false, for so many people to bully a girl like this was truly rather unreasonable.
"Everyone, quiet!"
His words, which were full of vigor, immediately made the crowd feel a lot more suppressed.
Bai Cheng looked at Lin Mengya and asked, "Miss Su, is what he said the truth?"
"Of course it's the truth. Could it be that Commander Bai intends to side with her?"
Before she could speak, Cong Zong spoke in a strange tone.
But Bai Cheng was not one of those spectators. He only glared at him and spoke in a neutral tone.
"If you don't trust this old man, you can naturally go somewhere else. If it's here, then this old man has the final say! "
Cong Zong was rendered speechless, but his eyes, as cold as a venomous snake's, remained fixed on Lin Mengya.
The latter was in no hurry to refute him. On the contrary, she gave a light laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Cong Zong was extremely displeased. In his heart, he felt that the other party was just bluffing.
But Lin Mengya covered her mouth. After laughing for a good while, she seemed to forcefully suppress her laughter and said, "I just feel that for someone like Sir Cong, your lies are so vivid. Tomorrow, you can write a few scripts and throw them to the opera troupe to sing. They'll definitely fill their baskets with money. "
Saying this, she withdrew the smile on her face and sneered, "Back then, you wholeheartedly wanted to bring disaster to the Four Tai Academy so that you could take credit in front of your new master. After I saw through you, you took your motley crew and fled in panic. I was so angry that I had someone break your right hand, shave off your hair and eyebrows, and have you meet your new master naked. Unfortunately, your contributions weren't enough and you weren't appreciated by your new master. That's why you thought of using such a despicable method to frame me and tarnish the Gong family's reputation! "
Being stabbed in the heart was the most painful thing. Cong Zong almost went mad.
"Bitch! You're full of nonsense! "
"I'm full of nonsense? Cong Zong, do you really think that the heavens will allow you to distort the truth? "
She spoke with conviction, her entire body filled with righteousness.
Cong Zong gritted his teeth. In any case, he was certain that the other party would not be able to provide him with any clues. The heavens were ultimately on his side.
"Su Mei, you venomous woman! Today, even if I have to risk my life, I'll peel off this layer of skin of yours and let the world see your black-hearted heart! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the men who had stood out with him took off their outer garments.
Their bodies were somewhat mutilated and their expressions were equally gloomy. The way they looked at her was slowly filled with malice.
The crowd was in an uproar. The bloody truth was placed right in front of them. They had to believe it.
Even Bai Cheng secretly took a deep breath.
If this is true, then isn't the person who did this a little too vicious?
He could not help but look at the young lady.
He had a feeling that this was not something that a young lady like her would do.
Could it be that one could not judge a person's heart from their appearance?
The crowd's initial sympathy had gradually turned into condemnation of her.
Even those who had been yearning for the Gong family and the Si Tai Academy were thinking about their future choices with ugly expressions.
After all, when it came to one's future and one's life, everyone would prefer to stay alive.
Lin Mengya knew that if she did not resolve this matter, they would not be able to bring a single person from the Bai family.
What a good trick. What a pity that they had met her.
"Su Mei, this is the truth. What else do you have to say?"
Cong Zong almost laughed out loud.
This idiot was probably already out of his wits by now!
"According to what you're saying, these people were all done by the 'Gong family', right?"
She looked relaxed and did not seem to be pretending at all.
But Cong Zong did not think so. Instead, he felt that she was just struggling on her deathbed.
"That's right, it was all done by the Gong family! Every one of us here has a blood debt with the Gong family! "
Those few people also followed suit. Each of them was filled with righteous indignation, and they shouted joyfully.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to ask this gentleman."
She pointed to the second person from the left among the group of people Cong Zong had brought.
"If I remember correctly, the reason why your leg is short is because you got into a huge debt at a gambling house in the west of Fengyuan City a year ago. You had no money to repay your debt, so your leg was broken, right? Furthermore, you're not even a teacher in the Si Tai Academy. "
The person who had been pointed at was stunned. After hearing her words, his expression immediately changed.
But because he had the advantage of numbers, he became bolder. He immediately said angrily, "You vicious woman, you're clearly trying to mislead us! This leg of mine was discounted by your Gong family! I was in the Si Tai Academy back then, but on the day you chased me away, I was resting in my room. "
Looking at his smug expression, he thought that his lie was brilliant.
Little did he know that in the next moment, Lin Mengya's words exposed him.
"If that's the case, then why don't you tell me who your roommate is, and who's next door?"
Obviously, he had already prepared for this question.
"I went there late and stayed in my own room. The one on the left is a gentleman with the surname Ma. He teaches mathematics. The one on the right is a gentleman with the surname Qin. He's in charge of teaching chess. "
"Oh, then do you know if Mr Ma snores in the first or second half of the night? Also, Mr. Qin, do you like to eat rice or noodles? "
That person was immediately stumped by the question.
But he was also a smart person. He immediately shouted, "Only you and I know about this. They're not here, so it's all up to you!"
