Although her impression of him had changed a little, Lin Mengya still kept a respectful distance from him.
Lu Jiuchong smiled and stood aside.
But his eyes were lingering and full of raging desire, undisguised in the corner that she couldn't see.
All the shops in the four markets had been rented out again.
Although the flow of people was more or less affected by the massacre, the Gong family's vigorous investigation brought a sense of security to many people.
In addition, as the master of the Gong family, she appeared openly on the street, which greatly increased the confidence of the residents.
Furthermore, Feiye City had suffered a lot in the past. It was because of these things that their hearts were united.
Now, Feiye City had gradually become the first city in the world.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Just when things were going well, she suddenly heard a noise in the crowd.
Cai Ru and Baisu, one in front and one at the back, naturally protected her in the middle.
Not long after, a few people came out of the crowd.
Those people were not dressed shabbily. They seemed to be dressed like merchants.
They went straight to Lin Mengya, their faces flushed.
"May I ask if you are Gong Ya, the master of the Gong family?"
The person called her name directly, and Cai Ru immediately raised a pair of eyes and stared at him unhappily.
Lin Mengya's expression changed slightly, but she just nodded and said, "I am, and you are?"
"Master of the Gong family, I want to ask you a good question today. Do you still have a conscience when you drive people to a dead end for the sake of profit? "
"How dare you!"
Cai Ru shouted coldly, and the long sword in her hand was already out of the sheath.
The surrounding crowd also glared at her, but the businessman was not afraid. Instead, he looked like he wanted to fight to the death with her.
Being slandered like this, Lin Mengya also restrained her expression.
"It's a little too far-fetched for you to slander me with such empty words. Even if I'm not the master of the Gong family, but just an ordinary person, I won't be insulted like this! "
Lin Mengya didn't feel guilty at all. She didn't do anything, and no one could smear her name.
However, the man was filled with grief and indignation. He pointed at her with a trembling finger and shouted at the top of his lungs, "If it wasn't for you, why would my shop be smashed for no reason? Even if Master Wei and the others offended you before, you can't take it out on us small merchants! "
At this point, she had a general idea of what was going on.
The way he looked at the merchant was tinged with coldness.
"Since you mentioned Master Wei, I have to say a few more words. The reason why Lord Wei and the others left was clearly written on my notice. Men, read it out in front of everyone, lest everyone misunderstands. "
But a few minutes later, she regretted her decision.
Lin Mengya covered her face with her hands as she listened to the story of a powerful man who had appeared out of nowhere. He played many roles and vividly reproduced the situation at that time.
She finally understood why so many people came to see the notice she posted every day.
In the end, it turned out that they were reading from a storybook.
Now, as the man's performance became more and more realistic, the people around him laughed more and more happily.
She did not even have the courage to look at the original copy. She felt so ashamed!
After the public execution, Lin Mengya finally managed to maintain her precarious dignity amidst the joy of the crowd.
"Ahem, now you know what happened? The Gong family has never done such a thing to bully others. "
The merchant was stunned.
He would never have thought that the other party would come up with such a thing.
"This is child's play. It's all made up by your men. It's hard to tell the truth from the lies. I'm not convinced! "
He was twisting words and forcing logic.
Why did he think that if he refused to admit it, it meant that nothing had happened?
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly. She had already explained what needed to be explained.
Now was not the time to be reasonable.
"So what if you're not convinced? Here, what I say is the truth. I don't need anyone's approval."
Since the other party was determined to cause trouble, how could she still be polite?
The merchant clenched his teeth and suddenly pulled out a knife from his sleeve.
"You're forcing me to a dead end, aren't you? Fine, I'll die here today. I'll let everyone in Wei State see how unreasonable the Gong family is! "
Seeing that the man was about to bleed, Lin Mengya did not stop him. Instead, she stood there calmly and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Fine, if you die now, I'll get someone to drag your body out to feed the wild dogs. I heard that people with missing limbs can't be reincarnated. You'd better die early. I have other things to do. "
The merchant gritted his teeth, but there was nothing else he could do.
His hand holding the knife was no longer as firm as before.
He did not mean to die, but he had tried to force Gong Ya to open up the other markets with Master Wei and his gang.
At that time, he was blinded by lard. Who would have thought that the master of the Gong family was a man who would not yield to persuasion or force?
At that time, he had signed the agreement to cancel the lease. However, because he was not feeling well, his eldest son had gone on his behalf.
After that, he did not want to leave, but the people of the Gong family had always been impartial. That was why he came up with this stupid move.
He did not expect that one wrong move would lead to many wrong moves. Now, there was no turning back.
"I, I …"
"Do it!"
Lin Mengya shouted coldly. The merchant seemed to be frightened and immediately let go of the knife in his hand.
"Bang!" The crisp sound of the saber hitting the ground caused the man to suddenly wake up.
"Master, please give us a chance to live!"
The man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Lin Mengya tidied up her sleeves and said calmly, "I'm giving you a chance to live, but have you ever thought about giving me a chance to live? All these years, I've treated you, the foreign merchants, well. But what about you? People who bite the hand that feeds them are reaping what they sow. "
She looked around.
Among those people, besides her staunch supporters, there were many who disagreed with her and were even hostile to her.
"Everyone, let me assure you once again that the Gong family will do as we say. I've said it before, I will not tolerate these people who have betrayed the Gong family and the whole of Karghalik! Even if they kneel on the ground and beg me, I will not let them off. If I were to be softhearted towards them, I would be letting them down! "
Although Master Wei had brought many people away, there were still many merchants who chose to stay and tide over the difficulties with her.
Therefore, she had to be responsible for those people.
Back then, Master Wei had ostracized and suppressed them, but they did not change their original intentions.
As the owner of Karghalik, she had to let them know that they had made the right choice!
The merchant was still crying and begging, but there were few people in the crowd who sympathized with him.
In fact, after learning about what had happened, some of the crowd felt a deep sense of disdain toward Master Wei's group of people.
Lin Mengya did not purposely chase them away, but after learning from their mistakes, those who were still hoping to get lucky left Karghalik with their families and belongings that very night.
Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end and was about to disperse, a few people suddenly squeezed in from outside the crowd.
"Master Gong, we were wrong. Please have mercy and let us go!"
It was the same tactic as the merchant who begged for mercy. However, these few people seemed to be in a much more pathetic state than the merchant.
All of their clothes were stained with mud that was about to dry up.
Their bodies gave off a pungent smell.
The people around them immediately moved away, covered their noses and looked at them with dissatisfaction.
Lin Mengya did not cover her nose, but with her acute sense of smell, she could not help but feel suffocated.
"Who are you?"
"Master Gong, we know that we shouldn't have listened to Master Wei and set you up, but we had no choice!"
"If we didn't listen to him, he would have secretly joined forces with the other merchants to suppress us."
These people pushed all the blame to Lord Wei.
In this way, everyone could hear them clearly, so they felt even more ashamed.
Lin Mengya could more or less guess the reason why he was here.
But now, she was pretending to be innocent.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Well …"
The two of them looked at each other and swallowed hard, but they did not dare to mention that they had been ambushed outside.
If someone had not happened to pass by and saved them, they would not have had the chance to escape.
They were afraid that by now, they would have become wandering ghosts on the road.
However, they were afraid that if they were too explicit and offended Gong Ya, they would be digging their own graves.
After thinking about it, the two of them did not dare to say a word.
"I think the two of you must be suffering from hysteria. Otherwise, why would you start talking nonsense on the street?"
She said softly, and the two of them were even more shocked.
Gong Ya's words were obviously a warning to them not to talk nonsense.
Could it really be the Gong family who had ambushed them on the road?
Their teeth chattered, and the two of them fainted at once.
"Tsk."
Lin Mengya sneered disdainfully. They had the heart but not the guts. They did not even have the brains to be the villain.
"Find a few people and send them to the inn. After they wake up, you don't have to worry about them. "
The crowd dispersed, and Lin Mengya looked into the distance, thinking about something.
They had acted so quickly. No wonder the two of them ran back to Yeye to ask for help.
Now, she was more and more suspicious that the purpose of the other party was to discredit the Gong family.
But what happened next completely changed her mind.
Because there had been five consecutive attacks on the Gong family's children in the fief of the Gong family.
After consulting everyone's opinion, she handed over the management of the market place to Ning Liang and Baishao.
These days, Baishao and her husband followed Ning Liang and familiarized themselves with the private property of the Gong family.
Ning Liang was full of praise for Baishao's outstanding talent in business.
