The weak childe nodded and left quietly.
The boorish man, who had been assigned an important task, couldn't help touching the small bottle again and again.
As long as he thought that he could not only get rid of the thorn in his side, but also make a contribution and return to his family, he could not help but feel a little excited.
After secretly laughing a few times, he gave a look to his subordinates.
"Go, catch that cripple and bring him to the backyard!"
"But boss, that cripple is that person's subordinate, we …"
Seeing the cowardly look of his subordinates, the boorish man's face suddenly darkened.
He grabbed the man's collar and pulled him in front of him, saying gloomily, "I told you to go, just do it. Do you think I'm afraid of those bastards?"
"No, no, no, we're going now, right now!"
Those who could seek refuge with the boorish man were certainly not good people.
They had followed the boorish man to rob things before, but after Yue Zhengzitan came in disguise, they were severely beaten by him several times, so they were afraid of him.
Now, even if they had to bite the bullet, they had to do it.
Otherwise, if they fell into the hands of the boorish man, they might not have a good ending.
They looked at each other, and then, they could only gather their courage to catch that little cripple together.
.....
After Yue Zhengzitan left the yard, he secretly sent the news to his brother.
Although the latter did not know the specific content of their discussion.
But they avoided him, the leader of the family.
Yue Zhengzitan knew that this group of people was still not satisfied with him, but he did not expect that they would be so brazen.
Therefore, there was nothing to hide for them.
Therefore, it did not take long for the news to be sent to Lin Mengya.
Looking at the list sent by Yue Zhengzitan, Lin Mengya could only smile coldly.
They really lived up to her "expectations"!
This group of people really did not learn from their mistakes at all!
"I'll have to trouble you to go back and tell your Patriarch that I thank him for his kindness."
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya added.
"By the way, tell him that I won't tamper with the antidote, so he doesn't need to do anything. He only needs to do what I say, and he can detoxify safely."
Yue Zhengzixiu's subordinates expressed that they would definitely pass on the message.
When Lin Mengya heard the news, she just laughed it off.
She would let those people know what was called being too clever for one's own good, lifting a rock to smash one's own feet!
The next day, Lin Mengya's antidote was finally ready.
As for those fellows who were prepared to burn the bridge after crossing the river, they also seemed to have discussed it and couldn't wait to find the door.
However, when she saw the small earthen stoves set up at the door, she couldn't figure out what Gong Ya was thinking.
Of course, Lin Mengya didn't want to continue talking in riddles with them.
Since she had promised to detoxify them after paying the deposit, she would definitely do it.
Not long after, the womenfolk, led by Auntie Fang, each had a floral scarf wrapped around their head and wore plain and simple cotton blouses.
He held a pitch-black medicine jar in his hand and carried a small folding stool on his back.
The onlookers at the entrance were all dumbfounded.
Apart from Madam Zhao, the young mistress of the Wei Family, Wei Qingran, was also there.
Because she was a newly widowed woman, she always dressed plainly on a daily basis.
However, she didn't expect that she would wear a dark blue gown and a cloth of the same color to cover her head, but she looked different.
It added a sense of freshness to her.
Even though she was being sized up by everyone, she still put down the medicine jar in her hand and then the folding stool on her back with Auntie Fang.
Finally, someone carried out buckets of hot charcoal.
The onlookers outside were all dumbfounded.
They didn't know why Gong Ya was doing this.
Then, when the earthen stoves were filled with hot charcoal, and Madam Zhao and the other womenfolk added water to the medicine jar, they finally realized what was going on.
So, were they going to boil the antidote here?
Thinking of this, a few people in the crowd exchanged a message in their eyes — Quick, ask the master to come over!
Not long after, the news that Gong Ya was going to boil the medicine outside spread throughout Yuehu City.
This caused the masters of the families to be shocked when they heard the news.
He thought to himself, Could it be that Gong Ya has already seen through the things they were secretly discussing?
It had to be said that they had a guilty conscience.
Soon, the conspirators were on tenterhooks. Some of the more cowardly ones had already started beating the drums of retreat. Some of them had even prepared excuses to shirk the responsibility. At that moment, a new piece of news was sent back.
It turned out that before they discussed, Gong Ya had already ordered people to build the earthen stoves.
Only then did everyone realize that it was a false alarm.
But at the same time, there was another evaluation of Gong Ya: Scheming!
By the time Lin Mengya carried out the herbs which had been soaked for at least two hours and put them into a clean medicine pot to boil, Lin Mengya's expression changed.
There were already people who couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked a few times.
However, the group of womenfolk only cared about their earthen stoves. When they didn't even bother to look at them, Lin Mengya finally put up a notice.
The onlookers crowded around him.
Then, the contents of the paper were also spread.
"Please take it according to the number on the medicine card."
"One bowl per person. You can only drink it on the spot. You can only leave after observing in the observation area for an hour."
"You are not allowed to take away or change the medicine without permission. If you don't follow the doctor's instructions and cause any adverse reactions, I will not be responsible."
"If you have any objections, please talk to me directly."
Finally, there was Gong Ya's signature and the official seal of the Gong Family.
For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
Most of them even thought that the Gong Family Head had nothing better to do.
Why did he make such a big fuss over just drinking medicine?
However, there were two or three people in the crowd who couldn't help but change their expressions after seeing the contents of the notice.
If what was said on the notice was true, wouldn't the plan that they had prepared in private be useless?
"Hurry up, go back and tell Young Master that there's a change of plan!"
Someone whispered to his men to go back and send the message.
Not long after, the group of old masters led by Old Chen gathered in front of Lin Mengya's door again.
But this time, they were very polite.
Maybe it was because they had been defeated by Lin Mengya several times before. Anyway, no matter how many plots and tricks they had prepared behind her back.
But at least in front of her, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Lin Mengya didn't say anything else. She just asked someone to bring out a few chairs and sat in the observation area not far from the earthen stove.
"Everyone, is there anything you don't understand?" She asked in a gentle tone, although she was wearing a mask.
The masters looked at each other again and again. Finally, they handed the right to speak to Old Chen.
Old Chen cursed these guys in his heart. They were all so cowardly!
At his age, he still had to stand out for them.
But he still reluctantly opened his mouth. "Ahem, Master Gong. Didn't we agree that you could give us the antidote after paying the deposit? Now … "
He glanced at the decoction area intentionally and couldn't help sounding a little dissatisfied.
"What do you mean? Don't you trust us? "
"Old Chen, you must have misunderstood my intention."
Lin Mengya's attitude didn't change.
If it weren't for the coldness in her eyes, others would think that she really knew nothing about these people's plot.
"We have to be careful with the medicine. Besides, everyone's constitution is different. The doctor should carefully consider the amount of medicine and the effect of the medicine. "
"I'm just doing my duty as a doctor. It's not that I don't trust you."
Hearing her explanation, even Old Chen was slightly speechless.
Indeed.
When he made the plan, he felt that Master Gong was too arrogant.
There were so many people trying to detoxify, and everyone's condition was different.
Therefore, once she handed over the antidote, there would be a lot of things that they could do to her.
Unexpectedly, they were too naive after all.
This girl from the Gong family was not easy to fool at all!
But then, Old Chen didn't dwell on this matter for too long.
After all, it was more important to detoxify now.
He nodded and acted as if he had suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the other party.
"I see. It seems that I thought too much."
"Not at all. Old Chen, it's natural for you to be thoughtful. If I had information like you, I wouldn't have been tricked again and again. "
Gong Ya's voice was not as sweet and melodious as that of ordinary women.
But the unique hoarseness of her voice, in addition to being recognizable, could naturally cover up her tone and emotions.
For example, now, Old Chen was muttering in his heart.
What did Gong Ya's last sentence mean?
He looked at her, only to see a pair of bright eyes. It didn't seem that she was beating him up.
He couldn't help laughing dryly. "Master Gong, please forgive me for not understanding what you said."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just feel a little emotional because of some things in the past. Old Chen, don't think too much. I'm not talking about you. "
Lin Mengya's attitude was generous.
This dispelled some of the doubts in Old Chen's heart.
He thought about his plan over and over again, and in the end, he found that there was nothing that he had missed out on.
Moreover, he had secretly sent people to keep an eye on those families, so there was absolutely no possibility that the information would be leaked.
Moreover, it had only been a night since they had discussed it.
And during this period, they had been keeping an eye on Gong Ya to ensure that the news would not spread to Gong Ya's ears.
At this moment, he didn't expect that Yue Zhengzixiu had already joined forces with Lin Mengya, and even revealed this information to Gong Ya.
In his opinion, although they avoided Yue Zhengjia, it was only because they wanted to get Yue Zhengjia out of trouble.
After all, they were from the same family. Even if something happened in the future, Yue Zhengjia would definitely protect them.
In this way, not letting Yue Zhengjia know was also to make Yue Zhengjia's handling of the matter more fair and convincing others!
But he forgot that.
By doing this, they didn't take Yue Zhengjia seriously at all. Then why would Yue Zhengjia stand on their side?
