A vase that does not match his identity, as well as 500 taels of silver notes, seem to indicate one point.

Lin Du encountered an opportunity that he should not have encountered. It was precisely because of this incident that he gained confidence and felt that he could compete with Zhao Xuan one by one.

Originally, he was supposed to be just a person who liked reading, and his competition with Zhao Xuanyi was only about studying.

But after receiving the money, Lin Du wanted more.

So what does Lindu want most?

Zhao Yang and Lin Qingchen thought about it almost at the same time. They looked at each other and said the answer in their hearts.

"Imperial Examination."

Lu Yuan next to him had no idea what was happening.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have understood, Luyuan quickly moved closer.

"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Lin, can you also explain to me?"

"I'm just guessing."

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Lin Du is usually very low-key. His sudden high-profile must be because something has changed him. He just wants to compete with Mr. Zhao in studies, so he can only rely on the imperial examination."

"So I guess he got some kind of protection during the imperial examination."

This sentence was very bold, and Lu Yuan's expression immediately changed.

"How, how is this possible?"

"Yes, that's why we have to continue the investigation."

Zhao Yang changed the subject, "I still need to ask Mrs. Lin to find out. After all, the person who knows Lin Du best is Mrs. Lin."

Soon, Lin was taken to the front hall.

Mrs. Lin has been trapped in the side courtyard for the past few days, crying every day but no one listens to her.

There are only two meals a day, which can be said to be completely ignored.

After losing her son and Zhao Yanlin's favor, Mrs. Lin no longer knew what to do.

As soon as she saw Zhao Yanlin, Mrs. Lin knelt down excitedly.

"Master, master, please, don't leave me there. I don't have any money anymore. I can't live without you anymore, master..."

She cried so hard that her heart broke, but Zhao Yang felt that she was quite pitiful.

However, poor people must be pitiful, and this Lin has brought it upon himself.

"Mrs. Lin, please stop crying. In fact, we are here this time because of Lin Du's affairs."

Mrs. Lin was a little confused when she saw that it was a girl's house.

Lu Yuan coughed from behind and said, "Ms. Lin, tell the truth. There is something fishy about Lin Du's death. I must find the culprit behind this."

"it is good."

Lin kept asking for help, but finally agreed.

Now she can see clearly that Zhao Yanlin really has no feelings for her.

When she was young, she relied on her beauty to get close to Zhao Yanlin, thinking that if she gave birth to a son and a half daughters for him, she would receive preferential treatment.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, she had been living as a foreigner, and finally entered the house, but Du'er died.

She was angry and helpless. Now that she was useless, how could she compete with Zhang Yuan?

"If you want to ask anything, just ask. Du'er has always been a man of ideas, so I don't know him very well. If I knew something about him, I would definitely tell you."

"Some time ago, Lin Duke came back to tell you what new friends he had made?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head, "No, Du'er rarely told me what happened outside. Even if he did, it was only a few words. He wouldn't let me ask. If I continue to ask, Du'er will definitely be angry."

"So, was there anything strange about Lin Du, especially in the days before his death?"

This time Lin was silent for a while, and it took her a long time to react.

"There was something wrong, but I didn't pay attention to it, but now that I think about it, it's a bit strange."

"About three days before Du'er's accident, he suddenly became very excited and told me that he had made a fortune."

"But I didn't see the money. I thought it was the money the master gave him. Seeing him so happy, I asked him to keep a low profile and don't let Zhang Yuan see it. He will definitely cause trouble for us."

"But Du'er said it had nothing to do with the master and it was all his own efforts. I was very suspicious. I also went to the academy during the day and checked in his room. I didn't find anything wrong, so I just put it aside for the time being. Down."

Lin made it very clear, and Zhao Yang also strengthened his guess.

"The day before Du'er's accident, he told me a lot of bad things about Mr. Xuan Yi, saying that he didn't take me seriously, and that he would definitely surpass him in the future. He also praised himself for being smart, although he promised not to tell others. , but he gets more money by saying that to everyone.”

"Apart from these, did he mention anyone?"

Lin shook her head again, "No, Du'er seemed drunk that day, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to me."

"I rarely drink anymore, unless I'm extremely happy."

By now, it's actually quite obvious.

This Lin Du must have encountered something he shouldn't have encountered, and therefore received benefits.

But he didn't stop there, he also wanted to use this matter to earn more benefits.

Unexpectedly, he was swallowed up by the person behind him.

The agency was too clever in its calculations, but in the end it got him involved.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

Zhao Yang knew that Lin Du could not find anything special here, so he left with a few people.

From a distance, I heard Mrs. Lin begging Zhao Yanlin to let him go.

Zhao Yang sighed, this woman really cannot rely on a man, this Zhao Yanlin is a complete trash.

Pity……

Before leaving, Zhao Yang and others bumped into Zhao Xuanyi.

After all, Zhao Xuanyi and Lin Qingchen knew each other since they were in the same academy.

He nodded towards Lin Qingchen, hesitated and asked, "Is there any outcome to Lin Du's matter?"

"Not yet."

Zhao Xuanyi didn't know the relationship between Lin Qingchen and the government, but he knew that this classmate was extremely capable.

He paused, then saluted respectfully to several people.

"Although Lin Du's words and deeds are not clear, he is my Zhao family after all, and I have to ask a few adults."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Yang and Lin Qingchen are not adults, they are just helping.

However, the two of them did not intend to explain. After saying goodbye to Zhao Xuan, they left the Zhao family.

After going out, Lu Yuan asked the two of them.

"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Lin, where are we going now?"

As Jing Zhaoyin, personally handling the case shows that the matter is serious.

Among the students who died, two had passed the examination.

The court attaches great importance to this, but Lu Yuan knows his own abilities very well, and he probably can't solve it on his own.

In the end, it became an unsolved case, and he was the unlucky one.

If Jing Zhaoyin's position is no longer secure, where else can he go?

"Let's go to the homes of the other students who died."

"Okay, I'm going to prepare the carriage and horses."

After a day of investigation, I came across several things.

The first one is that, except for Lin Du, the other students who died all had unexplained accounts.
