Dragon Pattern Roll Set

What are the consequences of Tuanzi's anger?

Zhan Zhao and the others saw that the fourth son, Xiaoyuan's face was flushed red, as if he was about to hold back some fierce words, but after holding back for a long time, the little guy finally clenched his fists, closed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Shouted, "You...you hate it!"

After speaking, he quickly ran to hide behind Zhan Zhao.

And looking at the young man who was teasing Xiaosi just now, he couldn't straighten up from laughing now.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at the fourth son who was holding his leg and hiding behind him, feeling a little helpless.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to hug the fourth son, looked at his bulging cheeks, and shook his head, this baby is really as soft as Tangbudui, so weak that he has no force value at all, Gongsun himself is like a hedgehog, how can he raise the child into this.

The fourth son pinched his fingers unhappy, glanced at Lin Xiao opposite, and classified him as a bad guy!

Zhan Zhao wanted to reach out and hug him for safety, but the fourth son put his arms around Bai Yutang and looked back at Zhan Zhao, which meant—you just laughed!

Bai Yutang also hugged the fourth son and took two steps aside, looking at Zhan Zhao with raised eyebrows—makes you laugh!Tuanzi is very vengeful.

Zhan Zhao is helpless, how to coax this well?

So, everyone went to look at the young man who straightened up and stood opposite...

This young man was eighteen or nineteen years old, he didn't look very trim, but he was outstanding in appearance, and... he was also good at martial arts.So, everyone looked at Ouyang Chunhua.

Chunhua nodded, that means - this is Mr. Lin's nephew that he saw last night.

The one standing in front of everyone was indeed Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao had just come to Taixue with Master Lin, and was visiting, when he was suddenly bumped by a doll, and looked down—it was so cute.

Seeing that the fourth son was angry, Lin Xiao waved at him, raised his hand... and threw something over.

When Bai Yutang reached out to take it, he saw it was a small white porcelain rabbit fan pendant.

Bai Yutang waved the fan in front of the fourth son's eyes, which means—or?

The fourth son glanced at the little rabbit several times, and finally put his arms around Bai Yutang and turned his face away, which meant——嫑!

Lin Xiao reached into his pocket again, found another fan pendant, and threw it over. This time it was a little black cat.

The fourth son glanced at the pair of fan pendants for a while, then reached out to take them over, and then glanced at Lin Xiao again.

Lin Xiao smiled at him, obviously begging for mercy, the fourth son 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 out of his pocket... and saw that they were all fan pendants, all kinds of little rabbits, kittens, and little mice...

Everyone stared at him for a long time, and Pang Yu asked, "Are you selling fan pendants or kidnapping children?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands, "This is not a fan pendant, but an umbrella hanger. I sell umbrellas, so I can hang something on children's umbrellas to sell."

Everyone suddenly realized—oh...Ganqing is selling umbrellas.

Zhan Zhao stared at the handful in his hand for a while, then stretched out his hand, "Give me a white mouse."

Lin Xiao brought him a mouse, and Pang Yu came up to him and asked, "Are there any crabs or steamed buns?"

The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched—crabs and steamed buns hung on the umbrella?

Bao Yan hesitated for a while, then patted Pang Yu, "Look for a black bear..."

Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, and the fourth son reached out...and gave him the little black cat.

When Mr. Lin came out of the study, he saw that the yard was noisy, and everyone was surrounding Lin Xiao asking for umbrellas.

"Oh, I'm already familiar with it, haha..." Lin Fuzi was laughing, but suddenly he was stunned.

Zhan Zhao, who was admiring the little white mouse hanging from the umbrella, turned to look at him, and saw the old man staring straight at not far away, full of shock and doubt.

Zhan Zhao followed the direction the old master was looking at...

He saw Wu Yifu leaning against a ginkgo tree in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand that had been put to dry on the stone table just now, flipping through it casually.

Zhan Zhao looked back at Lin Xiao again, and saw the old man's gray hair and beard swaying gently in the wind, but his eyes were strangely fixed, staring at the sick scholar blankly.

Bai Yutang also saw it, and was slightly puzzled.

At this time, Zhan Zhao coughed lightly.

Wu Yifu raised his head, and when he saw Lin Xiao looking at him, he was also taken aback...

The two sides look at each other slightly.

Zhan Zhao heard Lin Xiao muttering to himself, as if he was saying—impossible... how is it possible...

At the same time, the doubt on Wu Yifu's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a little surprise and a slight smile, and said, "So it's Zishan."

Everyone silently looked at each other—Lin Xiao is Zishan, do you know him? !

Looking at Old Master Lin Xiao again, his breathing began to be short of breath, and he was holding his chest and gasping for breath.

Bao Yan hurried to help him, thinking that the old man was excited again!

Pang Yu took out the Ningshen incense specially made by Gongsun for Mrs. Lin... They almost all had a bottle of this incense, because Mrs. Lin is really easy to be excited, and too learned and prone to accidents, what if something happens? The old man got angry again, so he took out the Ningshen incense and let him smell it, so as not to have a stroke or something.

However, Mr. Lin waved his hand to show that nothing happened, and waved to the curious Lin Xiao, "Wine... where is the half jar of wine that I asked you to hide yesterday?"

Lin Xiao wondered, "Didn't you say wait until your birthday?"

"Take it out, take it out!" The old man stomped his feet happily, "You can die after drinking it!"

Everyone squinted at him—he started talking nonsense in broad daylight!

Lin Xiao went to take out the wine, Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and looked curiously at the wine jar, it smelled like good wine.

Bai Yutang also nodded, "The top-grade Zhuyeqing, the aged wine of Qu's Winery in Hangzhou, only produces fifty altars a year, and it doesn't sell for money. You have to exchange it for something good."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, looking at Bai Yutang - you know it well.

Lin Xiao also took a look at Bai Yutang, and said to himself - this is an expert.

Mrs. Lin introduced Lin Xiao to the younger ones, saying that they would study together in the future so they had to get along well, and then he pushed him to the others, which meant—children go and play!On the other hand, with half a jar of wine in his hand, he went to sit down and drink with Wu Yifu, like that - old friendship.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, curious, and asked Bai Yutang, "Do they know each other?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "The age should be about the same."

"Woo..." Zhan Zhao nodded, and then asked Lin Xiao, who was also curious beside him, "Is there any more wine?"

Lin Xiao shook his head, "Only two jars, and the other jar was finished on the way."

"The shopkeeper of Qu's Winery is very picky." Pang Yu, the young master, asked Lin Xiao curiously, "What did you give him in exchange? He is willing to give you two jars of wine?"

Lin Xiao blinked, "Umbrella..."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—get him two umbrellas and put them away, he might pass by Hangzhou one day!

Bai Yutang laughed, but this wine is really rare... Looking at Lin Xiao and Wu Yifu who were sitting under the ginkgo tree, they seemed to be having a good conversation, they were indeed old acquaintances.

Zhan Zhao became more and more curious. He hadn't heard Wu Yifu 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 Mr. Lin for clues?

Zhan Zhao also remembered, ran over, and poked Lin Xiao, "Master, let's talk about the old days later, I'll ask you something first."

The old man looked up at Zhan Zhao with his wine glass in his hand, what does that mean—what's the matter?

"Are you familiar with the Xie Yi Pavilion in the Freehand Painting Gallery?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Xiao frowned and shook his head, "I'm not familiar at all!"

Everyone heard it from the side, and it really wasn't a good relationship.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and said again, "He was slaughtered last night."

"What?" Lin Xiao was taken aback, "Xie Yiting is dead?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Lin Xiao frowned, "Who did he offend? How could he be murdered?"

Zhan Zhao spread his hands, "Grandpa, do you two have any troubles?"

Lin Fuzi rubbed his chin, "This... About 20 years ago, Xie Yiting also studied in Taixue."

"No way..." Pang Yu was taken aback. "Xie Yiting is so good at bragging. He is a student of Taixue, so it's okay? Why don't you brag?"

"He was expelled from Taixue." Master Lin said seriously, "I was the one who expelled him."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - no wonder Xie Yiting scolded Mrs. Lin Xiao behind his back, so there was such a layer of festival.

Bao Yan was also curious, "What did he do wrong? To be fired so seriously?"

Lin Fuzi frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "It's a long story... Xie Yiting's family background is good, and his knowledge is also good. He is very clever, and he wants to climb up. When he was in Taixue, he met many people. As a young official, it can be seen that he is a bit ambitious."

Everyone nodded, at least half of the students in Taixue were like this, and it was understandable.

"If you want to learn, you must first learn to be a man." The old man said with a serious face, "I don't ask everyone to be indifferent to fame and wealth like Mr. Gongsun, but if the character is too bad, the more skills you learn, the more people you will harm in the future." And more."

Pang Yu was curious, "Is Xie Yiting's character bad?"

Mrs. Lin nodded, "Do you know what kind of character he is? If I didn't have a good reason to fire him back then, would he be dissatisfied with the world's publicity? He didn't even dare to mention the fact that he studied in Taixue back then. , why do you think it is?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "What exactly did he do?"

"Stealing questions and changing test papers." Master Lin said, "There was an autumn test that was directly related to the imperial examination... Xie Yiting and a few other students sneaked into the Imperial Academy to steal the test questions before the exam, and after the exam, they sneaked into the Imperial Academy to secretly They revised the papers, but they were found out, and they even injured a teacher when they escaped."

The crowd was amazed.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "The crime of plagiarism is very serious... they were just expelled but not jailed?"

"Xie Yiting is just an accomplice. There were three other students who did it with him back then. The other three were dignified. They were given lighter punishments by the late emperor. Because they were still young, they were not handed over to the government, but they were all expelled from the Imperial Academy. , you will never be allowed to take the exam." Master Lin shook his head, "Cheating is really a thing that has been banned repeatedly, and it is much better now than before, and it is also thanks to Bao Xiang sitting in Kaifeng."

"Xie Yiting died in the old house of the Jin family."

When Master Lin Xiao was recalling the past, Zhan Zhao interjected.

Master Lin was taken aback, "The old house of the Jin family? Just that haunted house?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "Can you think of any connection?"

"Hmm..." Mrs. Lin frowned, "Hiss... what does he have to do with the Jin family's old house?"

"Didn't the grandson of the Jin family also study in Taixue 20 years ago?" Bao Yan asked, "Is there any connection?"

Master Lin shook his head, "The two of them didn't live together for a year, Xie Yiting came a little later... But Taixue was really not peaceful in those years, and a lot of things happened, and the current situation is not easy to come by."

Bai Yutang said, "On both sides of Xie Yiting's neck, there are two paper flowers."

Master Lin was stunned, puzzled, "Paper flowers?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other—from Master Lin Xiao's expression, he really didn't know the clues related to this case.

Afterwards, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and his group had two glasses of wine with Mr. Lin, and then went to do their own business.

Leaving Wu Yifu and Mrs. Lin Xiao to continue chatting, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the Jin family's old house to continue investigating.

Bao Yan, Pang Yu, and Ouyang took the fourth son to help Mrs. Lin Xiao sort out the files, and surrounded the bookshelf to think of a way, how to find out which one was stolen?

Ge Qing also ran to the study to help Zhao Lan find the horse name list.

Lin Xiao saw that the bookshelves in the study were as black as smoke and burnt, so he asked, "Did it run out of water?"

"Forget it." Pang Yu pouted, "Someone set fire to the book."

Lin Xiao took out two books that were still in good condition and looked at them, frowning, "It doesn't look like some expensive books, someone is playing a prank?"

Bao Yan shook his head, "Someone stole the book."

"Oh..." Lin Xiao understood, "I don't want people to know which book was stolen, so I set it on fire?"

Everyone nodded, yes.

Lin Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the burned bookshelf, and said, "There is a way to know which book has been stolen."

Everyone was stunned.

Pang Yu pointed to a big hole in the middle of the bookshelf, and several layers that were all scorched black, "Can this be found too?"

Ge Qing was also curious, "How to check?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin and asked Pang Yu, "You look rich?"

Pang Yu nodded, "Bai Yutang is a little richer than me."

Lin Xiao smiled, "In this world, not all problems can be solved with money, but as long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not a problem."

Bao Yan and the others looked at each other—oh?

……

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?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "He is young, but his martial arts are quite good."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you want to go to Hangzhou Mansion to investigate?"

Bai Yutang asked, "You suspect him? I don't think he's a bad guy."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think he's quite pleasing to the eye, but what happened recently seems to have something to do with the Imperial College, and the thing about stealing books yesterday. Suddenly someone came to Mrs. Lin's side, so it's safe to investigate."

Bai Yutang nodded, "I also think this case is not that simple."

Zhan Zhao scratched his head and said in a low voice, "I always have a premonition that there will be another death..."

After saying this, the two of them had just walked to the foot of the Jin family's old house when they saw a few yamen servants rushing over, "Lord Zhan!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their heads.

The yamen servant had obviously been looking for Zhan Zhao and the others for a long time. He was so tired that he was sweating, and before he could reach him, he started shouting, "He's dead again!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned at the yamen servant's words—another death? !

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao—a good spirit, not a bad spirit.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and turned his face up—could it be that the one with bad looks is really Master Cat?
