Of course, those people might have been discovered by the Huo family before they had the chance to steal anything.
However, it was more likely that what they had stolen was something that even Aunt Fang did not know about.
If that was the case, then the extermination of the Huo family was not only due to the enemy's revenge, but also due to the fact that the news had been blocked!
Unfortunately, Aunt Fang didn't see anything as she was the one who witnessed it. The others had already been silenced.
In other words, if they wanted to unravel the truth behind the extermination of the Huo family, they must first know what the thieves had stolen from the Huo family and what had happened in between to make them so crazy.
However, since the victims had gained nothing, they had to find out the people from the aristocratic families who had participated in the theft.
She did not believe that such a big thing, even though so many years had passed, would be forgotten by those people.
The blood-curdling screams coming from the room made the servants in the courtyard tremble with fear.
However, under Great Grandfather Zhao's order, no one dared to go forward to check the situation.
Everyone who passed by the room lowered their heads and hurried past it.
After a long time, Zhao Jue came out of the room.
However, there were specks of dark stains at the bottom of his cyan robe. It seemed to be someone's blood.
Zhao Jue's face and hands were clean.
No one would be able to connect him with the murderer who had tortured the people in the room.
He straightened his back and slowly walked in front of Grandpa Zhao.
"What do you think?" Great Grandfather Zhao did not care about anything else. He only wanted to know the answer.
Zhao Jue shook his head and said, "Bai Jing is stubborn by nature. You can't judge her with common sense. Perhaps she would rather die than tell us the truth."
Having worked for Bai Jing for many years, Zhao Jue felt that he should be the person who knew her best.
That woman might be rich, but she was actually a paranoid lunatic.
Such a person would not succumb to physical torture.
Great Grandfather Zhao was a little impatient. "If she doesn't confess, just kill her."
However, Zhao Jue advised, "The current head of the Bai Clan is her elder brother. Furthermore, the Bai Clan is also worshiped by our sect. If there is no concrete evidence, I'm afraid that the head of the Bai Clan will definitely be able to plead for mercy."
"Then what do you suggest we do? Don't tell me that I, the Red Lotus Emissary, am afraid of a small Sinecure of the Bai family? "Third Elder Zhao was very dissatisfied.
One had to know that he was the esteemed Red Lotus Emissary. Due to his family background, he had spent most of his life cooped up in a small place like the Zhao family. He had had enough of it!
Now, he could use this opportunity to reveal his identity. In the future, he wouldn't have to pretend anymore.
After all, to the aristocratic families who had participated in that incident, once they found out that their families had always been under the surveillance of Emissary Red Lotus, they would be so scared that they would keep their mouths shut and not dare to have second thoughts.
On the other hand, he would secretly train new members of the Red Lotus Tribe and continue to monitor the Zhao Family until all those who knew about the Zhao Family and those who were related to them were dead.
Or perhaps, someone did not keep his promise and died at the hands of Emissary Hong Lian.
That was why Great Grandfather Zhao's attitude changed so much when he guessed his identity.
After all, Great Grandfather Zhao was one of the insiders!
Faced with Emissary Red Lotus, whose power and status in the sect were far above his own, Zhao Jue's attitude became increasingly respectful and humble.
Seeing his Third Grandpa so irritable,
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he gave a few words of advice.
"A mere Bai Family is indeed not worthy of Sir's fear, but does Sir still remember the reason why the Bai Family was accepted by the sect as an exception?"
The name of the sect that the two of them belonged to was probably something that not many people in this world would know.
However, this did not mean that they were a small sect that did not make the cut.
On the contrary, their sects were so vast and they had so many disciples that even the Temple could not compare to them.
They were further divided into the Green Lotus, the Red Lotus, and the other seven divisions.
At the same time, if there were aristocratic families or other forces that wanted to enter the sect, they would have to pay a portion of offerings to the sect every year.
Even so, the number of people who wanted to be a High Priest was like a school of carps in a river, and everyone flocked to it like ducks.
Therefore, only the richest person in a region or those who had made great contributions to the sect could be accepted as a High Priest.
The Bai Family was an exception.
Great Grandfather Zhao was silent for a moment before he sneered, "Heh! Now that you mention it, I just remembered that the Bai Family was indeed lucky to be able to obtain such a treasure. "
"That's right." Seeing that he had convinced Emissary Red Lotus, Zhao Jue's smile became even more sincere. "That's why I advised Lord Emissary Red Lotus not to be too hasty. Although the Bai Family is a High Priest in the sect, if we have concrete evidence, the Bai Family's Master will not be able to break the sect's rules no matter how reluctant he is! "
Great Grandfather Zhao thought about it again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed with Zhao Jue.
"However, didn't you say that Bai Jing was very stubborn and would not tell the truth no matter what?"
If that was the case, how were they going to find evidence?
However, Zhao Jue smiled confidently, "Lord, think about it. If Bai Jing did not reveal the secret, I'm afraid that no one would come to save her except the Bai Family."
All these years, he had watched coldly as Bai Jing courted her own death and offended everyone.
Even if they were her own confidants, they might not be of the same mind as her.
Such a person was undoubtedly digging her own grave.
"So, you're saying —" Grandpa Zhao raised his eyebrows. His interest was piqued by Zhao Jue's words.
"Those who are willing to take the bait, Bai Jing is the bait. All we need to do is wait for the good news."
Zhao Jue's smile was very gentle and elegant.
However, who would have thought that just a moment ago, he had personally tortured his legal mother?
Great Grandfather Zhao thought that this was a good idea.
However, he suddenly looked at Zhao Jue with a hint of ridicule and asked, "Little Rascal, since you know that Bai Jing will not tell the truth, why do you still want her from my hands?"
Zhao Jue only smiled, but he refused to admit it. He only said, "I am wholeheartedly focused on the task."
Great Grandfather Zhao smiled, but did not expose him.
He had long heard about the incident in the south courtyard.
Zhao Gulian was a fickle man, and Bai Jing was intolerant.
Thinking about it, Zhao Jue and his birth mother probably didn't have a smooth life all these years.
Now that Bai Jing fell into the hands of Zhao Jue, she deserved to suffer. As long as she was not killed, he would not stop him.
What was more, he had an inner disciple at his disposal, which was much more convenient than before.
As for some trivial matters, he would let him be.
Lin Mengya was still in the Zhao Mansion, but she did not know that she had been targeted.
However, Zhao Jue might be disappointed.
The most outstanding advantage of Lin Mengya was that she was very rich.
Probably, in addition to being very rich, she should be obedient.
Especially obedient to her own man.
Before Long Tianhao left, he had warned her not to go out unless it was a last resort.
For her, unless the Zhao Mansion collapsed, she felt that she should stay in the Zhao Mansion.
However, although she was a homebody, her desire to cause trouble could not be extinguished.
In view of the fact that Great Grandfather Zhao wanted to give her man a concubine, which disgusted her, she felt that she should more or less give him a "return gift".
She had just changed Little Fubao's diaper when Baisu walked in.
"Master, I have sent the news to the Zhao Family."
Lin Mengya nodded. Thinking of her hard work, she could not help but smile mockingly.
"Now, I am afraid that Great Grandfather Zhao's little plan is going to be in vain."
It was wishful thinking to use her as a stepping stone!
However, unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the Zhao Mansion welcomed an unexpected visitor.
"Miss Xian Huan?"
Looking at Xian Huan sitting in the living room with her slightly bulging belly, Lin Mengya was deeply surprised.
When Xian Huan saw her, she quickly stood up and smiled at her in a somewhat reserved manner, but her two hands were subconsciously protecting her stomach.
"Miss Ya, I actually have something to ask of you! Please save the life of me and the child in my belly! "
She was about to kneel down to her in tears, but Baisu was beside her.
After being caught by Baisu, no matter how much strength Xian Huan had, she could not kneel down. Seeing that her face was about to turn red, Lin Mengya then waved her hand.
"I do not like people to kneel to me. Miss Xian Huan, we are not familiar with each other in the past. Do you think it is appropriate for you to come and beg me so suddenly?"
Xian Huan did not kneel down, which caused her long rehearsed scene to be unable to continue.
Originally, she thought that Miss Ya had saved many pregnant women before, presumably because she was kind and could not bear to see these pregnant women suffer.
If she kneeled down and begged, then the other party would definitely be compassionate.
Who knew that the first step would fail.
However, she was also a persistent person. She immediately rolled her eyes and her eyes were filled with tears. She cried and complained, "It was all my fault in the past. I have offended you, but I had no choice. Please, for the sake of the unborn child in my belly, save Xian Huan from the abyss of suffering!"
Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
She did have the principle of giving preferential treatment to pregnant women, but the prerequisite was that the other party would not use the child in her belly to threaten her.
After all, the child in her belly was her own child, and had nothing to do with her.
And previously, out of kindness, she had asked someone to replace her and Jun Rongrong's medicine.
It could be said that as long as she and Jun Rongrong were not so crazy as to drug themselves to have an abortion, then these two children would basically be safe.
And based on how much Xian Huan valued her belly, she should already know that the condition of the child was stable.
So now that she appeared in front of her, and even acted like this, she most likely had other motives.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya's impression of Xian Huan became worse, and she rejected the other party coldly.
"Miss Xian Huan is too serious. I am not a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, and I am afraid I do not have the ability to save you from the abyss of suffering."
"Moreover, I do not even leave the house and I know that Bai Jing and Zhao Xun both value your child. I believe that you will receive the best care by their side."
