"What's wrong?"
She wiped her hands and asked casually.
"What else can I do? It's just the idle people in Fengyuan City. The scholars all ran to the Bai family and vouched for Xun Ziyang, saying that he was definitely wronged. The martial arts masters also went to the guard camp to accuse Bai Lu. He said he was just avenging his personal revenge. Tsk, what does it have to do with them? In my opinion, they are all just full."
Gong Er actually looked down upon these people in the Bai family.
Without him, these people obviously have legs on their right hands, but they don't know how to support themselves, so they come to the Bai family to eat for free.
The Pianbai family was not satisfied with supporting them, and even came to dictate terms on the master's territory.
This kind of thing doesn't happen in their Gong family.
Not to mention others, even the whole family has their own things to do.
My little sister said, this is called distribution according to work. Those who don’t work will starve to death.
"This is a bitter consequence caused by the Bai family themselves, and they must bear it themselves."
She had expected this situation.
The Bai family supports this group of people, to put it bluntly, for their own reputation.
Maybe it was to enhance the Bai family's own strength at the beginning, but in fact, it had a drawback.
It's so easy to get, how many people will cherish it
They are used to stretching out their hands, and gradually develop a laziness.
I don’t believe that when the day comes when the Bai family can no longer afford such a large expense, these people will immediately turn their resentment to the Bai family.
This is what it means to help the urgent but not the poor.
Gong Er felt that what she said was reasonable, but he was still a little curious.
For example, on that day, why did the younger sister instigate Bai Lu to make this matter bigger
After hearing his question, Lin Mengya smiled and said, "Of course, it's to force out the person behind the scenes."
Seeing that her second brother was puzzled, she explained softly.
"Since Xun Ziyang was arrested, Bai Lu has actually used all his methods, but Xun Ziyang just didn't do anything. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
"What's the point!" Gong Er curled his lips: "That guy Bai Lu must have not been tortured. A white-knuckled chicken like Xun Ziyang who has never suffered any serious crimes will definitely say anything if he is whipped."
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"Torturing Xun Ziyang is a bad idea. If not, some people will say that the Bai family is forced to do so. In the case of Feng Chen, they missed it once. If they make another mistake this time, the reputation of the Bai family will not be tarnished. It’s that simple.”
The Bai family itself is not strong, let alone the Gong family. Even the withered An family is still a bit stronger than the Bai family.
But the Bai family has something that other aristocratic families don't have - the hearts of the people.
Compared with the traditional and rigid noble family, the Bai family, which chooses to actively lower their stature and follow the path of being close to the people, is actually more popular with the common people.
But if one day, the Bai family becomes a being that doesn't care about people's lives or lives, and only uses power and force, it will be no less than a disaster for the Bai family.
Therefore, the Bai family does not dare to gamble, because once they lose, it will be a complete loss.
Fortunately, they pulled back from the brink and chose to form an alliance with the Gong family.
Gong Er is actually rough and thin, but he is too lazy to think about these twists and turns.
"You can't rely on others. After all, you still have to be strong with your own fists. Little sister, what should we do next?"
"We don't have to do anything. Now they are asking for a retrial of the original case. It's not us, nor the Bai family and Feng Chen."
Gong Er was a little confused.
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is huge. If Feng Chen insists on reopening the original case, he is not qualified enough. You know, many people saw Feng Chen stabbing Xun Ziyang with their own eyes. And he himself, He has not been cleared of his guilt. In the eyes of everyone, he is still a 'sinner'."
Raising her eyebrows, she continued: "The sinner is not qualified, so what about the Bai family? The Bai family settled this case in the first place. Now that the Bai family raises it, isn't it a slap in the face? This will harm the prestige of the Bai family, and in the future I’m afraid that everyone will question the Bai family’s judgment, which is not a good thing.”
Gong Er finally understood and patted his head.
"So, you asked Bai Lu to spread the news in order to make those people take the initiative to bring up the matter of retrial?"
She nodded and added: "In this way, it seems that those people want to clear Xun Ziyang's grievances. The Bai family is just 'complying with public opinion'. And during the retrial process, everyone put their own As a participant, you will naturally play a supervisory role. You must know that the one with the ghost is Xun Ziyang."
Gong Er slapped his thigh and smiled wantonly and freely.
"Sister, your plan is too clever!"
Lin Mengya shrugged, it didn't matter.
I'm afraid that Xun Ziyang would hate these meddlesome people in the prison at this time.
"But, after all, I have to keep a close eye on my second brother these days. There is absolutely no way that Xun Ziyang will not take action. There are some things that I must figure out."
She squinted her eyes to hide the chill spreading deep in her eyes.
The content of the letter she found on Mr. Xunyang's desk could only be known to those who had been to the academy.
Someone is lurking in the dark, trying to do harm to the college. If this person is hidden among the disciples of the Bai family, then she must be careful.
You can't just let the wolf go and attract the poisonous snake.
Her academy must be clean.
Gong Er was also unambiguous, and in order to escort the Liao family, he brought a lot of people.
This group of people has almost become Lin Mengya's personal power, plus the personnel from the branch of Zhenlong Hall and Long Tianyu stayed to protect her secretly.
It can be said that if she wants to overthrow this city, she can do so without any effort.
Therefore, she must keep a close eye on her to prevent anyone with bad intentions from sneaking into the academy.
Gong Er personally went into battle and monitored the situation on Xun Ziyang's side day and night.
Lin Mengya didn't have much time to spare before she was secretly invited over by the Bai family.
This time, there was no one with her, so Bai Shi'an volunteered to walk beside her.
"You said, Uncle Bai family wants to see me?"
She stared straight ahead, not noticing Bai Shi'an beside her at all, the joy flashing in her eyes.
"Well, after the elder brother wakes up, he wants to see you by name."
"Why?"
She looked at Bai Shi'an, who was a little unnatural and avoided her eyes.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because my eldest brother feels guilty."
Guilt? She may not think so.
Bai Chun'an is such a stubborn person. When the evidence was thrown in his face, wasn't he still too stubborn to admit it
Don’t you think it’s a little late to feel guilty now
She wanted to think this way, but she still followed Bai Shi'an to the courtyard of the Bai family's main house.
The first person to come out was Mrs. Bai.
She was not kidnapped that day. In the end, the maid discovered that she had been knocked unconscious and thrown into the woodshed.
But compared to the sadness and anger last time, this time Mrs. Bai's wife looked a little guilty when she saw her.
"The girl is here."
"Hello, madam."
She said hello with a normal expression, and her attitude was just right, just like a stranger meeting for the first time, polite and distant, but making it impossible to find anything wrong.
But the eldest lady was too embarrassed to raise her head, so she could only say: "Uncle has been waiting for you inside for a long time, please come in."
"Mrs. I'm here."
She followed Mrs. Bai and entered Mr. Bai's bedroom for the second time.
In fact, as a woman, it was not appropriate for her to enter someone else's bedroom openly.
Last time it was just that there were too many people, but this time it was because Uncle Bai couldn't get out of bed at all.
Mrs. Bai and Bai Shi'an were both afraid that Lin Mengya would mind, but the latter's face was as pale as water, and she didn't show any signs of coquettishness. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself, feeling that she was really a villain.
The eldest lady opened the door to the inner room. On the bed, the Bai family uncle was leaning on the soft pillow with a complicated look on his face.
Especially after seeing her, there was only regret on her face.
"Miss Su."
"Hello, Uncle Bai."
Bai Chun'an tried to find even a trace of anger, pride, or other expressions that should appear on Su Mei's face, but unfortunately he was disappointed.
Her smile was perfect and her eyes were impeccable.
Even the uncle of the Bai family couldn't help but want to ask her, he failed so much, why didn't she have any consciousness of being a winner
Unfortunately, what Bai Chun'an didn't understand was that in Lin Mengya's eyes, Bai Chun'an had never been regarded as an enemy.
It's not that she's the Holy Mother, it's that he's not qualified.
"Miss Su, have you gotten used to living here these days?"
"fine."
Bai Chun'an was choked for a moment, but then he realized something and showed a wry smile.
"What happened before was my fault. If the girl is weird, just blame me. It's because I don't know people well and I'm obsessed with things, so I did all kinds of wrong things to the girl. As long as the girl can forgive me, I am willing to be anyone, even to die. .”
"uncle!"
Mrs. Bai was startled and hurriedly stopped her.
The uncle of the Bai family had determination in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind.
Mrs. Bai's expression darkened, she suddenly turned her head and covered her mouth.
Bai Shi'an also hesitated to speak and looked at his eldest brother, his face also very depressed.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, was sitting next to him, drinking tea in her leisure time.
Is the Bai family's habit of talking to themselves hereditary
She hasn't said anything yet, right
The atmosphere is gloomy and sad.
The uncle of the Bai family waited uneasily and desperately for her final sentence with a mentality of atonement.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
The two members of the Bai family couldn't help but feel anxious, it's coming, it's finally coming!
As long as Su Mei asks, they will do it no matter what.
The woman put the teacup aside, her lips slightly parted.
"I said, can you bring me a cup of scented tea?"
"ha?"
Bai Chun'an was a little confused and stared at her in confusion.
The girl smiled sheepishly, pointed to the tea cup and said, "I never like to drink bitter tea. I always drink light tea and scented tea at home. The tea in your house is indeed good. It’s a pity that I’m not used to drinking, can I change it?”
