Ma Beichen's thoughts turned around, and he smiled and waved his hand towards her.
"This is what I should do."
Cheng Su glanced at this guy. He had heard about it on the way back.
This guy is working so hard, I'm afraid his goals are not small.
Su Mei didn't say anything and sat down with her fourth brother.
Those two people also felt that she now represented the head of the Gong family, and since it was an alliance, she should be present.
Gong Si asked someone to serve tea again, but the atmosphere at this time was a bit too dull.
She and her fourth brother looked at each other secretly, and finally it was the fourth brother who spoke first.
"Thanks to the presence of you two, we have saved ourselves a lot of trouble today. I would like to ask you to stay at Gong's house for the next few days, so that we can fulfill our friendship as landlords."
There were many people who came to congratulate them, but they were all arranged by the Gong family to stay in Feiye City.
For truly distinguished guests, they naturally have to stay at the palace's home.
After some thought, the two men agreed.
Cheng Su looked at the two of them and asked in a deep voice.
"You two, my father has asked me to come here this time. In addition to helping you two, he also hopes that I can send several young people of the Cheng family to Sita College. I wonder when the completion ceremony will be held?"
Cheng Su couldn't stay too long, which was why the Cheng family sent someone here before.
He only needs to show up at the most critical moment, and then rush back to the army.
Gong Si immediately replied, "Originally we set the date for July 27th, but after this incident, I'm afraid it will be postponed. However, it won't be later than August 15th at the latest. I don't know.
Brother Cheng, can it be convenient?"
Today is already the second day of July. The completion ceremony of the college is also the opening ceremony of the college. Moreover, the library built before is also about to be completed with the strong support of Long Tianyu.
So after this series of celebrations, it is estimated that it will be over by the end of August.
Hearing this, Cheng Su frowned slightly.
Ma Beichen, who was watching from the side, had a look of ridicule on his face.
"A reckless man like you may not be suitable for an elegant place like the academy. I think you should leave as soon as possible to avoid making a joke and losing the face of Mr. Cheng."
"No matter how embarrassing it is, you will always be the one to take care of it."
Cheng Su looked majestic and immovable on all sides, but the words he said hurt his heart.
Immediately, Ma Beichen's face turned dark.
"Cheng Dawei, are you targeting me on purpose?"
Cheng Su snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Ma Beichen, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
"I'm telling you, don't think that I won't dare to beat you in the Gong family!"
Ma Beichen became angry and warned Cheng Su fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the latter didn't do anything. He just threw the sword on his waist on the table. >
The meaning of contempt is quite obvious.
The back and forth between these two people made her and her fourth brother extremely embarrassed.
"Ahem, you two have worked hard today. I'll let someone take you down to rest."
Cheng Su nodded to his fourth brother and left with his people.
Ma Beichen, on the other hand, looked unwilling and stared at Cheng Su's back, cursing in his heart.
Lin Mengya was drinking tea smartly at the side. The Ma family and the Cheng family had a close relationship. It seemed like the two of them had grown up together.
There are some things that she can't be a fool to mediate.
"This idiot Cheng has been a fool since childhood. By the way, Mr. Su Mei, can you tell me about Gong Ya's current situation?"
Is it possible that this person is remembering the character of the infatuated man from before?
Lin Mengya smiled politely and said perfunctorily.
"The master of the house is very good."
"Oh, that's good. I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable with my wound, so I'll leave now."
She was a little surprised that she wasn't pestered.
I originally thought that this person would ask questions and refuse to listen, but I didn't expect that just such a sentence would be more perfunctory than hers.
What about the infatuated and unrepentant character you promised? Just drop it?
"Little sister, actually Ma Beichen is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
Gong Si looked at her lost look and whispered.
Lin Mengya immediately turned back with a gentle smile.
"I know, otherwise how could the Ma family be able to release him with confidence. But now, the Ma family and the Cheng family are allies with us. From now on, we will have to cooperate with them."
The situation of the Gong family was not good before, but the Ma family and the Cheng family still chose to come forward at this time, showing their full sincerity.
From now on, the three families must advance and retreat together.
"Yes, but the burden on you and me is a little heavier."
Seeing that the younger sister was not confused by Ma Beichen, Gong Si felt a little relieved.
Lin Mengya changed her mind and thought of another thing.
"Have you sent someone to watch over the palace butcher?"
Mentioning this traitor, Gong Si's face was full of resentment.
"That's natural. He's so ambitious. How could he give up so easily?"
"It's better to be more careful. Gong Tu's methods are ruthless. If we don't make preparations in advance, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."
Even though she and her fourth brother took control of the Gong family again, they were beyond their reach. There were many places where mistakes would inevitably be left.
"Okay, here I am
Just go and do it.”
The fourth brother immediately went to make arrangements. As soon as she returned to Dongyuan, she saw Gong Ping and ran in in a hurry.
"Miss, a body was fished out from the lake in the yard. You'd better go and have a look."
Before Lin Mengya's buttocks got hot from sitting, she took Bai Su to the edge of the lake in the yard.
When they arrived, a lot of people were already gathered here.
Seeing her coming, they all gave way.
"Sir, please come this way."
Ning Liang had basically brought the situation under control, and he sent someone to get a sheet to cover the body that was picked up.
Lin Mengya knelt down and gently lifted a corner, but then she frowned deeply.
"Let everyone disperse. Today's events are not allowed to spread."
Ning Liang and Gong Ping immediately dispersed the crowd, while Lin Mengya had people carry the body to the pavilion by the lake.
After making sure there was no one around, she lifted up the sheets little by little.
It was a corpse that had been run to the point of becoming white, swollen, and beginning to rot.
Gong Ping was young and had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and his face turned pale.
Even Ning Liang's expression changed instantly, but Lin Mengya and Bai Su, who were closest to him, seemed to have no reaction at all.
"People are thrown in after death. They have been soaking for several days. How did you find out?"
Ning Liang let out a heavy breath and tried his best not to look before he had the strength to speak.
"It was discovered by the servants responsible for cleaning the bottom of the lake. The body floated up on its own, and it was under the rocks below the pavilion."
"Well, that man must be frightened. Please give me some more silver reward and ask the doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine for him."
Seeing such a corpse suddenly must have caused a lot of shock.
Lin Mengya looked at the body's limbs again and found that there seemed to be many wounds on the woman's body.
Bai Su also noticed it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Are these bitten by the fish in the lake?"
She looked at it and shook her head.
"Although fish can eat carrion, there is no part of her body that was bitten by fish. Before she died, she was fed a large amount of medicinal materials, but"
Although she had been soaked in water for so long, it did not have a big impact on her sense of smell.
But the smell of medicine on this corpse was a bit weak.
It’s just that I don’t eat fish and shrimp, and it’s obviously because of these medicines.
She seemed to have thought of something and pressed the belly of the corpse.
Unexpectedly, it collapsed all of a sudden, as if his stomach was empty.
She immediately uncovered the body clothes, only to see a horrifying scene.
"What kind of beast can bite this?"
Bai Su couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw that a big hole had been dug out of the corpse's abdomen.
All the internal organs inside have disappeared.
But after Lin Mengya checked the edge of the wound, she shook her head solemnly.
"It's not the mark of a wild beast's bite, but the mark of being cut by a knife. The wound is very smooth."
She then looked at the face of the corpse. Although it was completely unrecognizable, the small medicine helped her recover in the system, and soon she pieced together a handsome face.
"It's her!"
She said in a low voice, while Bai Su looked confused.
"Master, do you know this person?"
She nodded, her expression a little indescribable.
"Ning Liang, do you two still remember the woman who was scared crazy because she saw a water ghost?"
The two people were stunned, of course they remembered.
But, didn’t I hear that the maid was kicked out of the house?
Could it be that--
"Yes, this person is her."
Speaking of which, although this maid is hateful, she did help her through some combination of circumstances.
So after that, I asked someone to secretly give her some soothing medicine, which would definitely not leave any sequelae.
But I didn't expect that people would die here, in such a miserable way.
When Ning Liang heard what she said, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
"I heard before that the second young lady didn't seem to make things difficult for her, and even rewarded her family with a lot of money. Miss, I'm going to find out about this right now."
"Go ahead."
She had some bad premonitions.
If it was really Lin Mengwu who did it, he probably wanted to kill people and silence them.
But why did she kill people in such a cruel way?
She examined it carefully and found that there were many small stab wounds on the body.
The wound was not big, but the bone was deep enough.
Even the faces of corpses have many of them.
That's why it's so difficult to identify.
After the inspection, she arranged the body herself, covered it with a sheet, and asked Gong Ping to find a place to bury it.
Early the next morning, Ning Liang brought another news.
This maid's family disappeared.
I heard from the neighbors that they had received a large sum of silver reward before, but for some unknown reason, they moved out overnight.
No one knew where they went, only that they left in a hurry.
