Chapter 523: Old Friends Meet
What are the consequences of dango getting angry?
Zhan Zhao and the others saw that the little fourth son's round face was flushed, as if he was about to hold back a few fierce words, but after holding it for a long time, the little guy finally clenched his fists, closed his eyes and shouted to the person in front of him, "You...... You hate it! โ
After speaking, he hurriedly ran to Zhanzhao and hid behind him.
And looking at the young man who teased Xiao Sizi just now, he couldn't straighten up with a smile at this moment.
Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at the little fourth son who was hiding behind him with his legs, and he was also a little helpless.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and hugged the little fourth son, looked at his bulging cheeks, and shook his head, this baby is really as soft as sugar and has no force value at all, Gongsun himself is like a hedgehog, how can he raise a child like this.
Xiao Sizi pinched his fingers and was unhappy, glanced at Lin Xiao opposite, and classified him as a bad person!
Zhan Zhao wanted to reach out and hug him when he was safe, but the little fourth son hugged Bai Yutang and turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, what does that mean-you laughed just now!
Bai Yutang also took two steps to the side with the little fourth son, and raised his eyebrows to look at Zhanzhao - make you laugh! The dango is very vindictive.
Zhan Zhao is helpless, how can this be coaxed?
So everyone went to look at the young man who stood up straight and stood opposite......
This young man is โกโก years old, and he doesn't look very trim, but he looks outstanding, and he ...... Kung Fu is also good. So, everyone looked at Ouyang Chunhua.
Chunhua nodded, that means-this is what I saw last night, Lin Fuzi's nephew.
Standing in front of everyone is indeed Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao just came to Taixue with Lin Fuzi, and was visiting, but he was suddenly hit by a little doll, and he looked down - he was cute.
Seeing that the little fourth son was angry, Lin Xiao beckoned to him and raised his hand...... Threw something over.
As soon as Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to take it, he saw that it was a white porcelain rabbit fan pendant.
Bai Yutang shook the fan in front of Xiao Sizi's eyes, what does that mean-or?
The little fourth son glanced at the little rabbit several times, and finally hugged Bai Yutang and twisted his face, what it means - hey!
Lin Xiao reached into his waist bag again and rummaged through it, took out a fan pendant again, and threw it over, this time it was a little black cat.
Xiao Sizi glanced at the pair of fan pendants for a while, reached out and took them, and glanced at Lin Xiao again.
Lin Xiao grinned at him, obviously begging for mercy, Xiao Sizi thought about it, and reluctantly excluded him from the "bad guys" first.
Zhan Zhao looked at Lin Xiao's pocket curiously.
Lin Xiao simply reached out and grabbed a handful from his waist bag...... I saw that they were all fan pendants, all kinds of rabbits, kittens, and rats......
Everyone stared at him for a long time, and Pang Yu asked, "Are you selling fans or kidnapping children?" โ
Lin Xiao spread his hands, "This is not a fan pendant, it is an umbrella hanging, I sell umbrellas, and it is a good selling point to hang something on the children's umbrellas." โ
Everyone suddenly realized-oh...... Dare to love is to sell umbrellas.
Zhan Zhao stared at the handful in his hand for a while, and stretched out his hand, "Give me a white mouse." โ
Lin Xiao brought him a mouse, and Pang Yu came up and asked, "Are there crabs or steamed buns?" โ
The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched - crabs and steamed buns hanging on the umbrella?
Bao Yan hesitated for a while, then patted Pang Yu, "Find out if there is a black bear......
Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, and the little fourth son stretched out his hand...... Give him the little black cat.
When Lin Fuzi came out of the study, he saw a commotion in the courtyard, and everyone was surrounding Lin Xiao to ask for an umbrella.
"Oh, it's already ripe, haha......" Lin Fuzi was laughing, but suddenly froze.
Zhan Zhao, who was admiring the little white mouse umbrella hanging on the side, turned his face to look at him, and saw the old man's eyes staring straight at the distance, his eyes full of shock and doubt.
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of the old master's eyes......
I saw that under a ginkgo tree in the courtyard, Wu Yiwu was leaning against the tree, holding the book that had just been placed on the stone table in his hand, and was casually flipping through it.
Zhan Zhao looked back at Lin Xiao again, and saw that the old man's gray hair and gray beard were gently swaying with the wind, but his eyes were surprisingly fixed, and he looked at the sick scholar in a daze.
Bai Yutang also saw it, slightly puzzled.
At this time, Zhanzhao coughed lightly.
Wu Yiwu raised his head and saw Lin Xiao looking at him, but he was also stunned......
The hatchback is slightly opposite.
Zhan Zhao listened to Lin Xiao muttering to himself, as if to say-impossible...... How is that possible......
At the same time, the doubts on Wu Yiyi's face flashed away, replaced by a little surprise, and a light smile, and said, "It turned out to be Zishan." โ
Everyone looked at each other silently - Lin Xiao is good, do you know?!
Looking at Old Master Lin Xiao again, his breathing began to be short, and he clutched his chest and panted vigorously.
Bao Yan hurriedly went to help him, and said that this old man was excited again!
Pang Yu took out the Ningshen incense that Gongsun had specially made for Lin Fuzi before...... This incense is almost a bottle for each of them, because Lin Fuzi is really easy to get excited, and it is too easy to have an accident if he is too learned, in case something happens to the old man and gets angry again, he will find this Ning Shen incense and give him a smell, so as not to have a stroke or something.
However, Lin Fuzi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and waved to the curious Lin Xiao on the side, "Wine ...... What about the half jar of wine that you hid yesterday? โ
Lin Xiao wondered, "Didn't you say that you would wait for your birthday to drink?" โ
"Take it out, take it out!" The old man stomped his feet happily, "It's okay to die after drinking!" โ
Everyone squinted at him - and began to talk nonsense in broad daylight!
Lin Xiao went to take out the wine, Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at the wine jar curiously, smelling that it was good wine.
Bai Yutang also nodded, "High-grade bamboo leaf green, the aging of Hangzhou Qujia Distillery, only fifty jars a year, don't sell for money, you have to exchange good things." โ
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, looking at Bai Yutang - you know it.
Lin Xiao also glanced at Bai Yutang, and said in his heart - this is an expert.
Lin Fuzi introduced Lin Xiao to a few small ones, saying that they would study together in the future, so they should get along well, and after speaking, he pushed him to everyone, which means - children are playing on the side! He was holding half a jar of wine and went to sit down and drink with Wu Yijiao, like that - an old friend.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, curious, and asked Bai Yutang, "Do they know each other?" โ
Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "It should be about the same age." โ
"Woo......" Zhanzhao nodded, and then asked Lin Xiao, who was also curious beside him, "Is there any wine left?" โ
Lin Xiao shook his head, "Just two jars, and the other altar is finished on the way." โ
"The shopkeeper of the Qu family wine shop is picky." The little marquis Pang Yu asked Lin Xiao curiously, "What did you exchange with him?" He would give you two jars of wine? โ
Lin Xiao blinked, "Umbrella ......"
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - let him collect two umbrellas first, maybe he will pass by Hangzhou one day!
Bai Yutang smiled, but this wine is indeed rare...... Looking at Lin Xiao and Wu Yicao, who were sitting under the ginkgo tree, they were talking happily, and they were really old acquaintances.
Zhan Zhao became more and more curious, he hadn't heard Wu Yiwu mention that they knew each other.
Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao, who was still in a daze, what does that mean-didn't we come to ask Lin Fuzi for clues?
Zhan Zhao also remembered, ran over, and poked Lin Xiao, "Master, you guys will catch up for a while, I'll ask you something first." โ
The old man raised his face to look at Zhanzhao with a wine glass, what does that mean-what's the matter?
"Are you familiar with the Xie Yi Pavilion of the Freehand Art Gallery?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Lin Xiao frowned and shook his head, "I'm not familiar at all!" โ
Everyone heard it on the sidelines, and the relationship was really not good.
Zhan Zhao hugged his arms and said again, "He called someone to kill him last night." โ
"What?" Lin Xiao was taken aback, "Xie Yiting is dead?" โ
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Lin Xiao frowned, "Who did he offend?" How could someone be poisoned? โ
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hands, "Old man, do you two have any festivals?" โ
Lin Fuzi touched his chin, "Is this...... About twenty years ago, Xie Yiting also studied in Taixue. โ
"Isn't it......" Pang Yu was taken aback, "Xie Yiting is so good at bragging, he is a student of Taixue, so he still has it?" Why don't you take it out and blow it? โ
"He was expelled from Taixue." Lin Fuzi said, "The person who fired him was me." โ
Everyone was stunned.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - no wonder Xie Yiting scolded Master Lin Xiao behind his back, it turned out that there was this layer of festivals.
Bao Yan was also curious, "What mistake did he make?" To be expelled so strictly? โ
Lin Fuzi frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "It's a long story...... Xie Yiting's family background is good, his knowledge is also good, he is very smart, and he wants to climb up. When he was studying in Taixue, he got acquainted with many officials, and it can be seen that he is a little ambitious. โ
Everyone nodded, at least half of the students in Taixue are like this, and it is understandable.
"To do knowledge, you must first learn to be a man." The old man said with a straight face, "I don't ask anyone to be as indifferent to fame and fortune as Mr. Gongsun, but if the character is too poor, the more skills you learn, the more people will harm in the future." โ
Pang Yu was curious, "Is Xie Yiting's character very bad?" โ
Lin Fuzi nodded, "You know what kind of character he is?" If I hadn't had a good reason to fire him, would he have been dissatisfied with the world? He didn't even dare to mention that he had studied in Taixue back then, why do you think it was? โ
Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "What exactly did he do?" โ
"Stealing questions and correcting test papers." Lin Fuzi said, "There was an autumn test that was directly related to the palace examination...... Xie Yiting and a few other students sneaked into Taixue to steal the test questions before the exam, and after the exam, they also sneaked into Taixue to secretly revise the papers, but they were found to have injured a master when they escaped. โ
The crowd was amazed.
Zhan Zhao frowned, "The crime of stealing questions is very serious...... They were expelled without jail sentences? โ
"Xie Yiting was only an accomplice, there were three students who did it with him back then, and the other three dignitaries were ordered by the emperor to be lightly punished, and they were still young and did not hand it over to the government, but they were all expelled from Taixue and were never allowed to participate in the exam." Lin Fuzi shook his head, "Cheating is really prohibited, and now it's a lot better than before, and it's also the credit of Bao Xiang sitting in Kaifeng." โ
"Xie Yiting died in the Jin family's old mansion."
When Master Lin Xiao recalled the past, Zhan Zhao interjected again.
Lin Fuzi was stunned, "The old house of the Jin family? Just that haunted house? โ
Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "Can you think of any connection?" โ
"Hmm......" Lin Fuzi frowned, "hiss...... What does he have to do with the old house of the Jin family? โ
"Didn't the grandson of the Jin family also study in Taixue twenty years ago?" Bao Yan asked, "Could there be any connection?" โ
Lin Fuzi shook his head, "They are not a year, Xie Yiting is a little late...... However, in those years, Taixue was really not peaceful, and a lot of things happened, and it was not easy to get to the current situation. โ
Bai Yutang said, "On both sides of the neck of the corpse of Xie Yiting, there are two paper flowers. โ
Lin Fuzi was stunned and puzzled, "Paper flowers? โ
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - looking at Lin Xiao's expression, he really didn't know the clues related to this case.
After that, Zhanzhao Bai Yutang and a group of small people drank two glasses of wine with Lin Fuzi, and then went to their own business.
Leaving Wu Yiwu and Lin Xiao to continue chatting, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the Jin family's old mansion to continue the investigation.
Bao Yan, Pang Yu and Ouyang took their little four sons to help Lin Xiaozi sort out the files, and around the bookshelf to figure out how to find out which one was stolen?
Ge Qing also went to the study to help Zhao Lan find the famous horse genealogy.
Lin Xiao saw that the bookshelves in the study were as black as smoke and scorched, so he asked, "Is it watery?" โ
"Don't mention it." Pang Yu pursed his lips, "Someone set fire to the book." โ
Lin Xiao took out two books that were still intact and looked at them, frowning, "It doesn't look like a valuable book, someone is playing a prank?" โ
Bao Yan shook his head, "Someone stole the book." โ
"Oh......" Lin Xiao realized, "I don't want to be known which one I stole from you, so I set it on fire?" โ
Everyone nodded, yes.
Lin Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the burned bookshelves, and said, "There is a way to know which book was stolen." โ
Everyone was stunned.
Pang Yu pointed to a large hole in the middle of the bookshelf, and several layers of all the blackened ones, "Can this also be found?" โ
Ge Qing was also curious, "How do you want to check?" โ
Lin Xiao touched his chin and asked Pang Yu, "You look quite rich, huh?" โ
Pang Yu nodded, "Bai Yutang is a little richer than me." โ
Lin Xiao smiled, "In this world, it's not that money can solve all problems, but as long as money can solve problems, it's not a problem." โ
Bao Yan and the others looked at each other - oh?
โฆโฆ
Walking on the way to the old house of the Jin family.
Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Did you notice that Lin Xiao just now?" โ
Bai Yutang nodded, "He's young, but he feels pretty good about martial arts." โ
Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you want to go to Hangzhou Mansion to investigate?" โ
Bai Yutang asked, "Do you suspect him?" I don't think he's a bad guy. โ
Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think he's quite pleasing to the eye, but what happened recently seems to have something to do with Taixue, as well as stealing books yesterday." Suddenly, someone came to Lin Fuzi's side and investigated it safely. โ
Bai Yutang nodded, "I also think this case doesn't seem to be so simple. โ
Zhan Zhao scratched his head, lowered his voice and said, "I always have a hunch that there will be another dead ......."
Saying this, as soon as the two of them walked to the bottom of the mountain of the Jin family's old mansion, they saw several officials hurriedly running over, "Lord Zhan! โ
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned back.
The official obviously looked for Zhanzhao and them for a long time, and he was so tired and sweaty that he began to shout before he could run to him, "It's dead again!" โ
The official said a word, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned - another death?!
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao - good spirits are not bad spirits.
Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and raised his face - could it be that the one with the decline is really the cat master?
