"Miss Gong..."
"Mr. Rong, you came so aggressively, said so many threats and slandered our Gong family, and did so many ugly things. If we don't pursue the case, we have already done our best. I also heard that you withheld our auction. I am a domestic slave. We are not allowed to speak secretly. If you have conclusive evidence that it was me, Gong Ya, who did this. Then I will be willing to be dealt with by you at will. The Gong family will have no complaints. But you are grabbing and biting like this. , and used the people we photographed as an excuse to force us to admit it. Is this how your Rong family and Xu family do business? After the auction, the money and goods will be cleared. This is the rule set by your ancestors. Whatever, It has been so long, who can take those steamed bun fillings seriously? Unlike our Gong family, we dare not forget a word of the rules set by our ancestors."
Turning defense into offense, Lin Mengya intercepted Rong Luyi's words and forced a turn.
Rong Luyi took a deep breath. He also knew that the rules were broken by forcibly detaining the Gong family members this time.
Not to mention whether the slave being let go had anything to do with the Gong family.
If things like seizing other people's goods get too big, it won't look good.
Who was he to do such a stupid thing? It was Xu Yanqing who came up with the idea.
His eyes couldn't help but turn to the Xu family.
Now Xu Yanqing was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and the juniors beside him were also afraid of Lin Mengya's mouth.
In desperation, he had to continue to deal with it.
"Miss Gong is overly worried. It's not like that. It's just that something went wrong with this group of domestic slaves, so it was delayed for a day. Naturally, we don't dare to forget the rules of our auction house. I'll send someone back to see Let’s see how things work out.”
Rong Lu immediately understood that they would not be able to get any advantage today.
He had just begun to think about retreating, and the people around him also showed signs of dispersing.
Although the five sons of the Gong family were unwilling to do so, since the other party was leaving, they had no reason to force them to stay.
However, what happened today made them feel even more humiliated.
If it was the powerful Gong family fifty or a hundred years ago, how could they dare to frame him so blatantly and force him to come
Just like slaves who have been oppressed for a long time, they finally can't restrain their yearning for freedom.
The children of the Gong family could no longer tolerate these people bossing them around.
Lin Mengya felt that the people of the Gong family were about to burst out with new hope.
Very good, why not add some fire to her.
"Wait a minute."
She stood up from her chair and called out to those who were about to leave.
Rong Luyi barely suppressed his anger and turned around to look at her dissatisfied.
They are all leaving, will she still pursue them
"Miss Gong, do you have any advice?"
"It's not about giving advice, but there is one thing that I hope everyone present can understand. I don't want any outsiders to interfere in the Gong family's own affairs. Of course, if anyone thinks that the family behind him can completely swallow up If it comes to our Gong family, let’s talk about it separately.”
Gong Ya's words were equivalent to warning all the families present.
They were smart people and knew what she was referring to.
Rong Lu didn't reply, his face was livid, he said goodbye and left before the enemy.
Then, those people stood up and left one by one.
The huge inn gradually became quiet.
The palace family members did not cheer for joy, and everyone had a very heavy look on their face.
Today, it’s because the eldest lady is here.
What about tomorrow
Humans are not gods. They will grow old and die one day.
So when that time comes, will they fall apart again and become soil that everyone can trample on
No! They don't want to endure those humiliations anymore!
But they don't know how to do it.
"Brother, please go and appease everyone first. You can come back later."
Lin Mengya did not avoid the gazes cast by the tribesmen. In a sense, the trouble caused by these people accelerated her plan.
People, only by constantly facing the pain of adversity can they work hard to move forward and temper their will.
The current Gong family has such qualifications.
Heaven never disappoints those who work hard.
Back on the second floor, Bai Su, Jun'er and Gong Ping were already standing in her room.
"Master, everything has been arranged."
Bai Su nodded towards her, indicating to her that Zhu Yan had been placed properly.
Lin Mengya finally felt relieved. Zhu Yan had already suffered a lot. She always felt at ease when Bai Su did things.
"Gong Ping."
"Yes, Miss."
I don’t know who this kid learned his cleverness from.
He obviously seems to be an honest and honest type, so it is even more unexpected.
"What happened after I left that day? How did you get it back? Do you remember?"
Gong Ping nodded and immediately told a short story about what happened that day.
After Lin Mengya left on her own, Gong Ping felt extremely anxious.
But he knew that he was just getting started in martial arts. Let alone protecting the eldest lady, he would just be holding her back.
But he was very worried about the situation with the eldest lady, so he could only avoid the patrolling people and wander around like a headless chicken.
After that, there was the commotion caused by the eldest lady riding on the tiger.
Fortunately, he was lost and far away from the place where the incident occurred.
Seeing such a chaotic situation, Gong Ping took advantage of the chaos and ran back.
In the evening, when Gong Bin and the others came back, Gong Ya was missing. Gong Ping then reported the matter to several brothers from the Gong family.
For this reason, he was almost beaten because of his poor performance.
If Gong Si hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have been able to escape this physical torture.
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job. I didn't have time to tell you because the incident happened suddenly. You must keep this matter secret and never mention it to anyone. After leaving this room, you Just keep your mouth shut, you know?"
The three people nodded vigorously, for fear that she would be worried.
There was a slight movement on the door panel. Gong Ping and Bai Su immediately tried to attack from left to right, but were stopped by Lin Mengya.
"Fourth brother, I won't hide anything from you, why do you still want to imitate others' eavesdropping?"
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Gong Si had a wry smile on his face, and after looking at her, he sighed slightly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, little sister. You've made too much of a fuss about this matter. On the surface, the slave trade is carried out by the Rong family and the Xu family, but in fact, you should be able to guess the secrets behind it. .”
How could such a thing as slave trading be possible without the support of those aristocratic families
Among them, I am afraid that the interests of the royal family and the royal family are also involved.
But so what
Lin Mengya shrugged indifferently and replied.
"Fourth brother, some things are not caused by me. I am just a small spark. If the sky of Weiguo is really burned red by fire, my role will be minimal. Besides, this How can such a thing be successful casually? I am just forced by the situation."
Seeing her say this, Gong Si breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that his little sister was extraordinary and could not be compared to the boudoir girl who was so popular.
But if she really put such great thought into it, even if the entire Gong family paid for it, it might not cause any splash.
"How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while and shook her head.
"I don't plan to deal with the aftermath because it's not fair to them."
Gong Si was a little anxious, but he had always obeyed Lin Mengya's advice, and now he was just worried about her safety.
"No! I won't allow you to continue to be with those people! I know you pity them, but this is their life. I beg you, listen to me once. I will help you deal with the aftermath, and I promise not to threaten you at all. OK?"
Gong Si's tone was almost pleading.
Lin Mengya sighed, she knew that the fourth brother really regarded her as a relative.
Otherwise, why would he bother so much.
"Fourth brother, it's not that I can't trust you. But this matter is also good for the Gong family. Have you forgotten our ambition?"
Gong Si was a little hesitant, but his attitude was no longer as firm as before.
Lin Mengya knew that the Gong family would always be Gong Si's Achilles' heel.
As long as anything has anything to do with the Gong family, Gong Si will definitely consider it carefully.
She is definitely not an excuse to take advantage of the Gong family. It would be better if those people could be used by the Gong family.
"First, let's talk about the people who have returned from the Gong family's auction. How do you plan to arrange them?"
In fact, Weiguo also had a precedent of escaping from slavery.
But the treatment of these people is only slightly better than that of slaves.
For the aristocratic family, as long as it has something to do with slavery, it is like a stain that cannot be washed away for life.
The people of the Gong family don't dislike it, but the various opinions of others will make them live in pain forever.
This must not have been the Gong family's original intention of rescuing them.
"Big brother means to send them back to their hometown. Or, to stay anonymous and settle down."
Gong Si's eyes were a little dim, and it seemed that he was not very satisfied with this method of handling it.
After all, without family, there is nothing.
Those people are ruined for life.
"Then what if we let these people train and take charge of the refugees?"
"you mean-"
"The refugees need someone to rely on, and the Gong family needs to cultivate their own power in the dark. Two thousand people is a lot less, but it does not pose much of a threat to the Rong family. But if there are more than two thousand people, Have they all become the secret force of the Gong family?"
Lin Mengya's suggestion was very encouraging.
After Gong Si listened, he lowered his head.
For a long time, he didn't speak.
"Oh, Fourth Brother, you are going to kill me! I think this little sister's idea is very good!"
Behind him, Gong Wu shouted to open the door and looked at Gong Si with dissatisfaction.
