"What I want is for the Gong family to rule the world and dominate the world. The big chamber of commerce is the driving force for the Gong family to rise. If you are always indecisive and tread on thin ice, this position is not suitable for you. "
She left after saying that, but she paused at the door and said disappointedly, "If you insist, I will tell great-grandfather tomorrow to let you go out with the children of the Gong family."
In the yard, Gong Bin looked at her leaving figure, and his breathing became rapid.
Gong Si stood at the side and had no intention of comforting him.
"Brother, you were not like this before."
Gong Bin turned his head and looked at his fourth brother, who had become a determined young man.
"The Gong family never produces mediocre people."
After saying that, Gong Si left with Lin Mengya.
Gong Bin was left alone at the door, thinking about something.
Lin Mengya did not know how her elder brother would feel after hearing what she said.
Whether he was a dragon or a worm, it was all up to him.
If he was a useless fool, then even if she forced him with a knife, it would be of no use.
After the father and son of the Feng family left, the servant brought new news. It said that the eunuch, who was imprisoned by Long Tianhao, had escaped with the help of a servant.
"Who did it?"
Compared with Ning Liang who was burning with anxiety, Lin Mengya seemed much calmer.
Seeing her like this, Ning Liang felt more at ease.
"It's the wife who helps in the kitchen. It seems that she is from the same hometown as the wife of the supervisor of the kitchen."
After thinking for a while, she knew who it was.
This person was really restless.
"I've sent people to chase after him. He doesn't know that he has been exposed. Please tell me how to deal with him."
"Okay. Don't worry about the family first. As for the eunuch, ask your men to work hard. It's better not to let him escape back to Dragon City so easily. "
Ning Liang hesitated for a while, and then he knew what she meant.
It was not difficult to play this game of cat and mouse.
As long as he did not die, it was not a big deal to be seriously injured.
No matter what happened inside the Gong family, the establishment of the big chamber of commerce was imminent.
Lin Mengya had already ordered people to inform them that a welcoming banquet would be held for all the caravans and aristocratic families three days later.
Everyone knew that this was the Gong Family's first step in gathering the power of the entire Wei Nation.
With the arrival of the merchant caravans and aristocratic families, Feiye City became unprecedentedly lively.
Bai Lu and Lin Nansheng were busy all day.
In the Gong family, other than Gong Er, only they had the ability and experience to lead troops to defend the city.
The more people there were, the more conflicts there would be.
This was an important day for the Gong Family and they could not afford to make any mistakes.
They brought people to patrol day and night, but they couldn't disturb the normal work and rest in the city, so it was very tiring.
In the morning, a group of people who had just exchanged shifts with the city guards were still patrolling inside and outside the city.
Lin Nansheng changed into a light armor and patrolled with the city guards.
In just a short period of time, he had sincerely regarded this place as his home.
His lover and family were all inside, so he had to do his best.
After patrolling the entire morning and finding that everything was as usual, he returned to the city guard camp.
But not long after, his deputy rushed over with an ugly expression.
"Deputy Commander, something happened."
When she received the news, Lin Mengya was looking at the travel notes that Big Brother had brought back.
Seeing Gong Ping's hurried footsteps, her heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, a small merchant caravan that was camping outside the city was killed last night."
"Who did it?"
Lin Mengya slammed the table and stood up. Gong Ping continued, "I don't know. The news from the city guards was that during their last patrol last night, they even greeted the merchant caravans that were camping outside. This morning, they found out that all of them were dead. "
After receiving the news, Lin Mengya rushed to the scene at top speed.
At this moment, the scene of the incident had been surrounded by the city guards.
It was an open land near Feiye City.
Although there were many inns in Feiye City and the prices were not high, some small merchant caravans would choose to set up tents outside the city to save money.
And because of the protection of the city guards, these people were very at ease.
But they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
By the time she arrived, the rest of the small merchant caravans had been sent into the city to settle down.
She looked at the more than ten bodies covered with white cloth on the ground, and was furious.
How dare they provoke the Tai Sui, they must be tired of living!
"Brother, what's going on?"
She looked for Lin Nansheng, who was in charge of this matter. He wanted to ask why she was here, but remembered his sister's identity, so he could only tell her the truth.
"This is a small theatrical troupe from outside the city. They just came back from the performance in the city yesterday, but they were killed. "
"How did they die?"
Lin Nansheng's face showed that he couldn't bear to mention this matter.
"Tortured to death."
Lin Mengya's pupils shrank when she heard this.
Tortured to death? That meant that the other party's purpose was not only to kill, but also to provoke or vent their anger.
"What have you found out now?"
"We only found out that the last time this small theatrical troupe entered the city was to perform for an aristocratic family. Oh yes, all of them are dead, except for the Hua Dan. Maybe we can find some other clues if we find her. "
The theatrical troupe and the caravan would be registered when they entered and left the city, so it was not difficult to find them.
But Lin Mengya didn't expect that the person who called the theatrical troupe into the city and left the Hua Dan was the man she met in the yard on the night of the birthday banquet.
Compared to the frosty look on his face that night, the man looked more handsome in the daytime.
Moreover, he was very cooperative and didn't seem to be disturbed or impatient at all.
Lin Nansheng could only ask a few questions politely before he had any evidence.
But the man had given a detailed answer. He only said that the theatrical troupe left after performing for him, and that several families nearby also heard the noise.
Because at that time, the man also invited his neighbors to watch the performance.
Lin Nansheng had sent someone to investigate, and what he said was basically true. Moreover, the two families didn't know the man at all.
It seemed that the man was killed after he left the city.
Seeing that the clue stopped here, Lin Nansheng didn't show any expression and just thanked the man.
"Oh yes. Did you see the Hua Dan? "
Hearing Lin Nansheng's question, the man smiled and said, "I don't know where she went. After they left that night, I went to rest. "
Hearing the man's answer, Lin Nansheng couldn't find any flaws.
But Lin Mengya, who had changed her appearance and hid in the crowd, keenly noticed the man's gaze and looked in her direction.
She was shocked, and then felt that it was not possible.
In order to avoid trouble, she often disguised herself.
Except for those who were very familiar with her, few people would see through her.
But the man's eyes were firm, which made her feel as if she was seen through.
She lowered her head, trying to eliminate her sense of existence.
Maybe it was just her illusion.
The group of people told the man to inform them immediately if he remembered anything, then they left the house.
Lin Mengya fell a few steps behind and looked at the door in confusion.
The man didn't follow them out, but asked his servant to send him.
Lin Nansheng was watching her all the time. Seeing this, he walked to her and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"
Shaking her head, she said in a low voice, "I felt strange because I didn't find anything. Don't you think they were too calm? "
That was a murder case.
In one night, more than a dozen families were slaughtered, and no one was left alive.
Even a passerby would show some shock and fear.
However, in this place, from the master to the servants, everyone was calm and collected. In fact, it even made people feel that they were a little cold.
"If they are not used to the scene, they must be the murderer."
Lin Nansheng's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
She couldn't help but call the man's name in her heart.
"Lu Jiuchong."
According to the information, Lu Jiuchong was from the Lu family, which was located in the southernmost part of Wei Country. It was a medium-sized family that started by shipping.
But the port of the Lu family was a little small, which limited their development.
This time, they were invited here by the Gong Family.
No matter how she looked at it, Lin Mengya felt that the Lu family had no reason to target the Gong family.
Although the Gong family had many enemies, the Lu family's special geographical location made them one of the rare neutral families.
So, was she thinking too much, or was the Lu family harboring evil intentions?
All of this was still a mystery.
"I will keep a close eye on the Lu family's every move, at least in the field, they can't stir up any trouble."
Lin Nansheng said solemnly.
Lin Mengya nodded. If this matter was spread out, the Gong family's reputation would be affected.
What was supposed to be a grand event had been shrouded in an ominous shadow.
This made Lin Mengya feel uneasy.
For the remaining two days, it was a rare calm.
Perhaps because Lin Nansheng and his men were on the lookout, and Second Brother was familiar with Feiye City, they turned the city upside down in just two days, but still couldn't find any clues.
That beauty seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and was nowhere to be found.
The people who were monitoring the Lu family also reported that Lu Jiuchong went out to socialize and socialize every day, and everything was normal.
Her men even sneaked in to investigate, but found nothing.
Therefore, she had to exclude Lu Jiuchong from the list of suspects.
Even though she felt that he might not be innocent at all.
On the third day, the Gong family held a banquet again.
But this time, it was not at the Gong family's old mansion, but at another place — the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, the Thousand Gold Courtyard.
Everyone was complaining about this simple and crude name, but they had to admit it.
The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce was called the Thousand Gold Courtyard, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
And here, the Gong family's simple and elegant decoration style was changed, and it was so extravagant that it almost blinded people's eyes.
But if one looked closely, one couldn't find any vulgarity here.
