When Lin Mengya heard this, she actually nodded and said, "They are not here. What we said does not count."
That person thought that she had admitted defeat. Just as he was about to reveal a victorious smile, he heard from the front row of the crowd, two middle-aged men dressed in very ordinary clothes but with an elegant temperament, say, "The two of us are right here. May I know why this brother is pretending to be an instructor of our academy?"
The two of them walked forward and bowed to Bai Cheng. Then, they stood by Lin Mengya's side.
One of the men in green looked at Cong Zong and said, "Brother Cong, I missed you a lot after we parted that day. Who would have thought that when you and I meet again, it would be under such circumstances? "
Cong Zong panicked and looked at the man in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
The man in green did not want to waste his breath on such an ungrateful person. He turned around and looked at the shocked man with a broken leg.
"Sir, I am Ma Xingyuan, the one who lives on your left."
The man immediately nodded and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you are Ma Xingyuan. You like to wear green. I remember you!"
However, Cong Zong's expression changed as soon as he said this.
'Ma Xingyuan' tugged at his clothes and said with a mocking expression, "Looks like someone really put in a lot of effort."
He turned to Bai Cheng and took out something from his clothes.
"Commander, I was actually joking just now. I am not Ma Xingyuan. I am Qin Su, who is in charge of teaching chess. This is a student's official document. It can prove the student's identity. If you still don't believe me, you can go to any aristocratic family that has students in the academy to verify it. Our headmaster gave each aristocratic family a portrait album with the portrait of each of our teachers. I don't think they had time to fake it. "
Bai Cheng took the document from him.
In fact, there was his portrait and features on it. His name was indeed Qin Su.
Moreover, he didn't have the time to fake it.
Bai Cheng immediately understood the twists and turns.
He returned the document to Qin Su. His eyes were as cold as ice.
"Now that things have come to this, you still don't want to tell me the truth? If that's the case, let's first hit him twenty times and see if he will tell the truth! "
Bai Cheng had been guarding Fengyuan City for a long time and had accumulated a lot of power.
On top of that, he was a military general, so he naturally had a murderous aura.
That person was nothing more than a scoundrel in the marketplace. How could he resist his pressure?
He immediately knelt on the ground and cried for mercy, "Great Commander, please spare me! This lowly one, this lowly one didn't do it on purpose! It was him, it was Cong Zong who said that if this lowly one could come, he would give this lowly one fifty taels of silver as a reward. This lowly one was also momentarily greedy, so this lowly one was blinded by greed! "
Following his cries, there was another commotion in the crowd.
But this time, it was directed at Cong Zong and his group.
Lin Mengya stood there calmly, not caring whether the situation was in her favor or not.
From the beginning to the end, she was at ease and did not panic at all.
Cong Zong suddenly had an illusion that she had been in the know from the beginning.
And in her eyes, he was nothing but a clown!
The feeling of complete defeat made his chest hurt, and a fishy taste rose in his throat.
A few busybodies squeezed out from the crowd. When they saw the guy who was crying with tears and snot all over his face, they laughed and scolded him, "Isn't this the good-for-nothing from the Song family on East Street? Dog Song, since when did you become a teacher? "
"Hahaha, you can't even read a few words and you still want to be a teacher? What can you teach? Dice or bridge? "
After Dog Song's identity was confirmed, all the accusations that Cong Zong had made previously became a joke.
Lin Mengya knew this the best, even if he was the only fake one in the crowd.
But as long as she dragged him out, they would all be suspected.
What's more, what they said was all fake.
Everyone looked suspiciously at Cong Zong and his group.
In their hearts, they were guessing the real identities of these people, other than Dog Gong.
The situation had turned in an instant, but Cong Zong did not admit defeat.
He stiffened his neck and shouted in a gruff voice, "Even if everyone else is fake, what I said is the truth. You said it yourself, you had someone break my arms! "
Lin Mengya gave a faint and cold smile. She suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his two bare arms, and pulled.
Completely unprepared, Cong Zong threw himself forward. Lin Mengya immediately dodged to the side, avoiding him.
But from his sleeves, there were two pairs of unharmed hands!
Under the gaze of the crowd, all of Cong Zong's lies were exposed to the world.
"Ah, I didn't think that Sir Cong would have the ability to regrow limbs. This one is full of admiration."
Lin Mengya threw away the artificial limbs. She no longer needed to say anything.
The crowd once more flared up, countless obscenities hurling at Cong Zong and his group.
They could no longer turn the tables.
To play this trick in front of a medical master, haha, she had already seen through him the moment she laid eyes on him.
Disregarding these losers, she stared straight at Sir Xunyang.
By now, the latter's face was already deathly pale.
His reputation had long been destroyed along with the exposure of these people.
"Mister, do you understand now?"
He looked somewhat absent-mindedly at the woman in front of him.
His decades of persistence had collapsed in this instant.
He now truly felt the pain of having his reputation destroyed, of having others use words to lash at him and repeatedly trample on him.
And all of this was his own doing.
Lin Mengya only provoked him with one sentence and then shut her mouth.
It wasn't that she pitied Sir Xunyang, but that from now on, he would no longer have anything to rely on.
His reputation, his disciple, and even his own son would be separated from him for the rest of his life.
There was nothing more sorrowful than this.
And this was the price he had to pay!
The chaotic scene was quickly suppressed by Bai Cheng's people.
Bai Cheng rubbed the space between his brows. Now that things had come to this, he had nothing else to say.
The evidence was irrefutable and irrefutable.
He rapped his knuckles on both sides of the plaintiff and defendant. After a few moments of thought, he said, "The matter has already been investigated. Everything that happened before was false. Sir Xunyang, is there anything else you wish to say? "
The latter shook his head and sighed.
"It was all this old man's fault for listening to rumors and being a teacher in vain."
He gave a long bow to Lin Mengya, and the latter calmly accepted it.
Because this was what he owed the Gong clan.
"My apologies, I shouldn't have wrongly accused the Gong clan."
Sir Xunyang's personal apology was more useful than any clarification they could make.
From now on, no one would use this matter to attack the Gong clan, and the rumors would fall apart on their own.
Lin Mengya didn't want to be unforgiving, but she also wouldn't allow her family to suffer losses and take the blame.
She turned around and said to the crowd, "How the Gong clan is, how the Four Tai Academy is, only those who truly understand have the right to evaluate. Our academy is recruiting talented people, and we need everyone to work together. But if it's just people who will easily leave because of rumors, then it's better to stop here. We don't need people who don't believe in us. "
In the crowd, those who had just thought of leaving lowered their heads in shame.
A few more people walked out of the crowd of their own accord.
Everyone saw that these people were dressed much better than the average person, and their movements were refined and scholarly, carrying with them the scholarly air of a scholar.
"Everyone, although my principal's words are a little blunt, our academy is truly worth it."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper he had been holding in the crook of his arm, his smile like a spring breeze.
"This is our academy's enrollment brochure, and over there is the recruitment notice. There's no harm in everyone understanding it first. This lowly one is the principal of the Four Tai Academy. No matter what questions you have, you can come ask me. All knowledgeable people are welcome to join our family! "
The principal's enthusiastic invitation eased the atmosphere.
Lin Mengya and the student exchanged a quick and obscure glance, and the latter swiftly moved, turning a lawsuit into a large-scale recruitment fair.
This development left even Bai Cheng somewhat dazed.
Why did he feel as if he had fallen into someone's trap?
But then he looked suspiciously at the crowd.
He had set the time, he had set the location, and he had also found the people.
What had gone wrong?
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lin Mengya couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Striking while the iron was hot would allow the Gong clan and the Four Tai Academy's reputation to spread far and wide.
She turned her gaze to the inner hall.
Those people were all being watched by the soldiers of the guard camp.
Especially that Cong Zong, who was still sprawled on the ground and had yet to catch his breath. From now on, not only would his reputation be ruined, it would also be impossible for him to harm anyone.
"Cough, cough, Miss, have your people restrain themselves a little."
Bai Cheng lowered his voice. Lin Mengya nodded and waved her hand. Those people who had just been handing out flyers immediately lowered their voices and apologized. They even said that they would hand them out in front of the Bai Clan's residence in a moment.
The crowd gradually quieted down.
Bai Cheng saw that the matter was coming to an end and knew that it was time for him to wrap things up.
"Cong Zong, Sir Xunyang, do you two have anything else to say?"
Sir Xunyang shook his head. In just a few moments, he seemed to have aged quite a bit.
Cong Zong, on the other hand, had been unable to catch his breath and was currently rolling his eyes. How could he say a single word?
"If that's the case, then I'll make the decision."
His face once more became dignified and dignified.
"In the case of Su Mei's lawsuit against Sir Xunyang for insulting the Gong clan, it was investigated that Sir Xunyang had believed Cong Zong's rumors and, without verification, privately insulted the Gong clan and the Four Tai Academy. In view of Sir Xunyang's old age and his apology to the Gong clan in court, there will be no additional punishment. But if the Gong clan wants compensation, this commander will also consider the circumstances and support it. "
He looked at Lin Mengya and warmly said, "What compensation does the Gong clan want? Just say it."
