The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao frowned and said in a cold tone, "He still tells people everywhere that the teacher owes his uncle?"

Hearing the hidden anger in Lin Yao's voice, Zhao Lan was taken aback, and immediately explained, "That's not true, but he said it in Class C school, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice, I don't think I heard it It's hard, Ah Zhen and the others all know about it."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too." Gu Zhen said.

Lin Yao took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in her heart. People like Yang Zun are like a cancer in the academy.

"Yang Zun must not be allowed to stay in the academy." Zhao Lan's explanation made him more determined to drive Yang Zun out of the academy. It is impossible to drive him out of the academy. But it is not impossible. Yang Zun is arrogant and arrogant. If he suffered a loss today, he will definitely want to take revenge. We just need to keep an eye on him, and we will be able to catch him. He was kicked out of Shanhai Academy."

"Yang Zun entrusted his uncle's favor to enter the academy. Even if Yang Zun used a trick behind his back to break Guo Xiao's leg and prevent him from enrolling, there is no evidence for this. Besides, the dean is not ignorant of Guo Xiao. Xiao's legs were the hands and feet of Yang Zun, but Yang Zun still entered the academy, presumably the favor owed by the dean is very unusual. Under such circumstances, unless Yang Zun made a big mistake that the dean could not tolerate, otherwise Zun will not be expelled from school." Yao Qi has a quiet temperament, and when everyone is together, he rarely speaks. This is the first time he has spoken so much, and his thinking is so clear.

Lin Yao couldn't help thinking after hearing Yao Qi's words. Yao Qi's analysis was also reasonable, but although he had not been a teacher for a long time, he understood his teacher's temperament. The favor is one thing, and the bigger reason is probably Guo Xiao.

After a while, Lin Yao mused, "The teacher is not a selfish person. Even if he owes favors, he will not make an exception and accept people like Yang Zun into the academy just because of favors." After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at everyone, and said, "If I'm not wrong, Yang Zun was able to enroll because of favors, and because Guo Xiao couldn't enroll because his leg was broken, and Yang Zun was able to enter the academy because his quota was vacated."

Zhao Lan and the others knew that Yang Zun broke Guo Xiao's leg, and relied on his uncle's favor to get Guo Xiao's place in the school. Lin Yao summed up the two pieces of information they all knew, what did they mean?

Without understanding, Zhao Lan asked directly, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yao felt that what she said was very clear, but Zhao Lan didn't understand it. He looked at the others, except for Liang Cheng and Xie Yan who looked pensive, everyone else was full of doubts.

"..." Lin Yao.

Lin Yao had no choice but to explain in more detail, "Shanhai Academy has a limited number of places for admission. You all know this. The teacher had set the first batch of places for admission a few years ago, that is, 70 students. Classes A and B have no Students, I don't know what the criteria for entering Class A and Class B are, but obviously these two classes are not yet open, so I won't say much here, just talk about Class C and Class D, the current number of the two classes is added It is exactly [-] people, if there is no Yang Zun, including Guo Xiao, it will be exactly full."

Zhao Lan's eyebrows were almost knotted when he heard it. He felt that he understood, but also felt that he didn't understand at all, so he could only scratch his head, "Why don't you talk more carefully, Ayao?"

"..." The corner of Lin Yao's mouth twitched, and she took a deep breath, "Since the teacher agreed to let Guo Xiao enter the school, he will never go back on his word."

"No one said that the dean backtracked? Guo Xiao's leg was interrupted by Yang Zun, and it has nothing to do with the dean." Zhao Lan was interrupted by Lin Yao before finishing her sentence, "so the full quota is now empty. One, isn't it?"

Guo Xiao's leg injury can't heal at all in two or three months, and Shanhai Academy can't wait for him for two or three months with this empty seat.

Now Zhao Lan completely understood what Lin Yao was implying, "You mean..."

"That's right, the teacher didn't intend to let Yang Zun enter the school to repay the favor, but since he owes the favor, it's not appropriate to refuse directly, so he can only find a reason to decline. Is the excuse that the quota is full is more appropriate? Since the quota It is already full, so naturally no more students will be recruited. Since Master Jijiu knows the teacher, he must also know the teacher's bottom line. Since he has declined, Master Jijiu will not force him any more." Lin Yao said with a slightly cold expression, "Don't you have any doubts? Guo Xiao and Yang Zunsu don't know each other. They have no grievances or enmities. Why did Yang Zun, who is so good-looking, ask someone to break Guo Xiao's leg?"

Zhao Lan and the others were silent one after another, and they all talked about this, and if they didn't understand Lin Yao's meaning, their brains could be fed to dogs.

"Because the teacher declined Yang Zun's uncle on the grounds that the quota was full, Yang Zun took it upon himself to ask someone to break Guo Xiao's leg, so that Guo Xiao would not be able to enroll if he was injured, and the quota would become empty, and the teacher could not Then use the reason that the quota is full to decline him to enroll."

Xie Yan was puzzled, "Why did he stare at Guo Xiao?"

"People like Yang Zun are used to looking down on people with low backgrounds. It just so happens that you and Guo Xiao belong to this category. There is a reason why he picked Guo Xiao and not you. You are the teacher who exempted Shu Xiu from recruiting. From the academy, this means that the teacher is very optimistic about you. Because of this relationship, even if Yang Zun wants you to be unable to enter the school, he will not dare to pick you. Then besides you, only Guo Xiao has the lowest status in the entire academy. I picked Guo Xiao."

Lin Yao's series of analysis is logical and reasonable.

Who is Qin Yuxing?

His father is the great Confucian Qin Fu, his eldest brother is the crown prince Taifu and cabinet minister, his second brother is the servant of the official department, and many senior brothers are officials in the court.

Even without mentioning these things, he himself is the No. [-] scholar. It may be too much to say that he is famous all over the world, but it is definitely enough to say that he is famous in Yangzhou.

It was true that Qin Fu was begging for bones, but he still had his eldest brother and second brother, as well as many senior brothers. He was not afraid of offending a mere Guozijian's sacrificial wine at all.If he is not willing to accept Yang Zun, even if he owes a favor, he cannot agree.

If Qin Yuxing really declined the Yang family with this reason, then what Lin Yao said just now is most likely the truth.

"This Yang Zun, isn't he too vicious? Cutting a person's future is like killing his parents, so he..." Zhao Lan frowned, unable to say anything worse.

Gu Zhen sneered, "It's really a rat droppings that ruined a pot of soup."

The existence of Yang Zun is like a mouse dropping in the academy.

"Even if your guess is true, it is a foregone conclusion that Yang Zun's admission is now, and now it is not a simple matter to drive him out of the academy." Regarding Lin Yao's proposal to drive Yang Zun out of the academy , Liang Cheng obviously agrees.

Lin Yao stuffed a chopstick of food into her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and said flatly, "We just need to wait and see, Yang Zun will definitely find a chance to retaliate."

"Even if he retaliates, he won't do anything in the academy. It's not a violation of school rules, and the dean has no reason to let him drop out." Zhao Lan said.

Lin Yao didn't have any good solution for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't catch him, then find another way to lure him into the bait."

The implication is that no matter what method is used, he must be driven out of the academy.

After dinner, the group returned to the school. Zhou Jun and the others had already returned to the school. Yang Zun was also there. The bright red palm marks on Zhou Jun's face had turned blue-purple, half of his face was swollen, and he looked very sick. appalling.

Lin Yao did not sit in her seat, but walked towards Zhou Jun, stood beside his seat, and said, "Zhou Jun, why don't you go home and don't come to the academy these days, I Go and ask for leave for you."

Zhou Jun shook his head and refused, "I'm not seriously injured. If I don't go to class for a few days, my schoolwork will fall behind."

Hearing this, Lin Yao didn't force it either.

He turned his head and glanced at Yang Zun, who smiled at him, as if the previous conflict had never happened.

Lin Yao frowned slightly, she didn't give Yang Zun any favors, she turned around and returned to her seat.

"What did Yang Zun do to laugh so disgustingly at you?" Gu Zhen naturally saw Yang Zun smiling at Lin Yao, he was so disgusted that his brows furrowed.

To be honest, Lin Yao herself was shocked, "How do I know? I'm afraid there is something wrong with his brain?"

Liang Cheng, who was sitting behind Lin Yao, leaned forward slightly, and reminded Lin Yao softly, "Yang Zun is very vicious, he smiles at you like this, maybe he has a grudge against you, be careful these two days, don't It was calculated by him."

Guo Xiao's lesson from the past is still in front of them, so they can't help but be vigilant.

Lin Yao knew that Liang Cheng was a good judge of people, since he reminded him like this, it must be reasonable, Lin Yao responded seriously, "Thank you, I will be careful."

At the beginning of the application period, Qin Yuxing came to Class C school, brought a ruler, called Yang Zun to him, beat fifty rulers, his hands were red and swollen after beating, even if the medicine was applied, it would probably change tomorrow. Into two trotters.

After school, Lin Yao returned home in her own carriage.

For several days, Lin Yao was wary of Yang Zun's conspiracy because of Liang Cheng's reminder, but Yang Zun didn't know if it was because he was punished with a ruler in public these few days. Zhou Jun also prepared generous gifts and apologized honestly.

Lin Yao couldn't help but relax her vigilance, and was distracted thinking about what gift to give Daiyu for her birthday in two days.

Unexpectedly, when he first arrived in Shenshi, the apprentice next to Dr. Ye in Yi'an Yuan came to invite him. He only said that Dr. Ye had something to do with him and asked him what the matter was. The apprentice only said that he didn't know.

When Lin Yao came to Yi'an Garden, she saw that Dr. Ye was already waiting in the main room. She didn't know how long she had been waiting. When she saw him appear, she quickly got up and greeted him, "Mr. Lin is here, please sit inside."

This attitude was a bit too attentive, and Lin Yao couldn't help becoming vigilant.

"Doctor Ye asked me to come, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Lin Yao was very vigilant, Doctor Ye realized that his attitude made Lin Yao uneasy, so he immediately stood still and stopped approaching Lin Yao, "Please come in and say, Mr. Lin, this is Shanhai Academy, Mr. Lin is still afraid that I will treat you unfavorable?"

This is true, Lin Yao settled down and entered the main room.

There was a table for four immortals in the main room, and a wooden stool was placed around it. After Doctor Ye led Lin Yao to sit down, he sat down opposite Lin Yao.

After sitting down, Doctor Ye was not in a hurry to speak, but poured a cup of tea for himself and Lin Yao, "Tea, please."

Lin Yao didn't move. Doctor Ye's unusual enthusiasm made Lin Yao very uncomfortable. Of course he wouldn't move the tea.

"Doctor Ye might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Seeing that Lin Yao didn't move the cup of tea, Doctor Ye paused and put down the teapot, "I know it's a bit sudden to invite Mr. Lin here today, but I don't mean anything malicious, but I just want to tell Mr. Lin something."

"Doctor Ye, please tell me." Lin Yao said calmly, unmoved.

Doctor Ye opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, he was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Mr. Lin, do you still remember that you brought Mr. Zhou to see the injury a few days ago, and I said something?"

Lin Yao's heart moved, and she thought thoughtfully, "But the sentence related to Yang Zun?"

"Exactly." Doctor Ye said, "Master Lin must have wondered why I would say that."

Lin Yao couldn't deny it. At that time, he suspected that Dr. Ye said it on purpose. Now that Dr. Ye mentioned it again, he became more and more sure that what Dr. Ye said at that time meant something.

"What is Doctor Ye trying to tell me by saying this?" Alluding to Yang Zun's uncle being as vicious as Yang Zun?

Doctor Ye didn't answer, but instead asked, "Mr. Lin, is he going to drive Yang Zun out of the academy?"

Lin Yao was startled when she heard the words, "How do you know?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she realized that it was not good, and saw that such an expression appeared on Dr. Ye's face, Lin Yao's face was not very good-looking, "You lied to me?"

He only told Zhao Lan and the others about this matter, and the others didn't know it at all. It was obvious that Dr. Ye was deceiving him.

Lin Yao frowned, got up and left, Dr. Ye's face changed slightly when he saw this, he hurriedly got up and rushed out to stop Lin Yao, and before Lin Yao could speak, he bowed and said, "I didn't mean any harm, please forgive me for offending me, Mr. Lin." fault."

This great gift made his face change with fright, and he couldn't even care about his anger, so he quickly helped Dr. Ye up, "Doctor Ye, what are you doing?"

"This old man wants to ask Mr. Lin for help. To be on the safe side, he speaks without words. If there is any offense, please ask Mr. Lin to be Haihan." When Doctor Ye raised his head, his eyes were red, and Lin Yao was shocked.

Lin Yao's mind was in a mess at the moment, "Please help me? What can I help you? Doctor Ye might as well ask my teacher."

"Only Mr. Lin can help me with this matter." Doctor Ye seemed to be about to cry in the next moment. Lin Yao was very upset. Seeing that Doctor Ye was agitated, she could only comfort him first, "Okay, okay, if I can help I’m busy, I’ll definitely help you, don’t get excited, don’t worry, just sit down and talk slowly, I’ll listen to you.”

Lin Yao's words finally calmed down Dr. Ye's excited mood.

Doctor Ye drank a cup of tea, calmed down, and then slowly talked about the reason for inviting Lin Yao.

It turned out to be related to the Yang family's uncle and nephew.

Mrs. Ye’s wife went there early, and only gave birth to a son for him. Dr. Ye’s son is Ye Mian. Ye Mian and Yang Zun’s uncle Yang Long are classmates and friends. About 12 years ago, Ye Mian and Yang Long returned to Yangzhou to participate in the In the provincial examination, Yang Long ranked first in high school, but Ye Mian's legs were broken because he offended someone, and he had no hope of taking the imperial examination. He died of depression within three months after returning to Beijing.

Doctor Ye knew from his son's servant that it was not his son Ye Mian who offended, but Yang Long. Death.

Before Ye Mian died, he married a wife, and his wife He Shi was pregnant. After Ye Mian died, He Shi gave birth to dystocia, gave birth to a daughter with difficulty, and passed away. From then on, Dr. Ye and his granddaughter Ye Jingshu depended on each other.

But Yang Long deceived others too much. His son fell in love with Ye Jingshu. Doctor Ye hated Yang Long because of his son's death. How could he marry his granddaughter to the man who killed her father?After being rejected, his granddaughter disappeared within two months and her whereabouts are unknown.

Doctor Ye suspected that Yang Long hid his granddaughter, but there was no evidence, so he resigned and returned to Yangzhou. He wanted to start with Yang Zun to see if he could find out the whereabouts of his granddaughter. Month, still no clue.

"So, Doctor Ye wants me to help you find your granddaughter?" Lin Yao wondered why such a big matter would be asked to his seven or eight-year-old child.

Doctor Ye has excellent medical skills, and it was Qin Yuxing who specially asked him to come back to take care of Mr. Qin's body. Although he doesn't know why he entered the academy, but because of this relationship, Doctor Ye can definitely ask Qin Yuxing for help. How could he find him?

"No, we are helping each other. I have been watching the Yang family. Recently, the Yang family has been making frequent moves. I don't know what they are doing. You just had a conflict with him a few days ago. I'm afraid he has already hated you. No matter what he wants Whoever strikes, I hope you will be more prepared so as not to fall into the trap." Doctor Ye said.

Lin Yao was surprised when she heard the words, "What you said is true?"

He saw Yang Zun'an's behavior recently, and thought he was being honest, but if what Dr. Ye said was true, then Yang Zun was probably pretending to be honest on purpose to confuse them, and when they relaxed their vigilance...the consequences would be disastrous.

"I don't need to lie to you. Mr. Lin might as well pay more attention these two days to see if there is anyone following you when you go home, and remind those friends around you to avoid accidents." Doctor Ye reminded.

Lin Yao frowned, "Does he still dare to assassinate me in the street?"

"Assassination is naturally impossible, but the uncles and nephews of the Yang family are very vicious. I'm afraid they won't use this method. It's not a bad thing to be more prepared." Doctor Ye said.

Lin Yao thanked Dr. Ye for reminding her, and then she thought of something, "Then you just said you wanted to ask me for help, what exactly is the help?"

"I know Mr. Lin still has doubts in his heart. After verifying my words, Mr. Lin will come to me again." Doctor Ye said.

Lin Yao froze, "I..."

Doctor Ye interrupted Lin Yao, "Let's go back first."

Lin Yao had no choice but to swallow her words, stood up and said goodbye. On the way back to school, he kept thinking about what Dr. Ye told him, and he was inevitably confused. There was definitely something that Dr. Ye hadn't told him.

He returned to the school full of thoughts, Gu Zhen waited for him to sit down, and secretly asked him, "What did Doctor Ye ask you to do?"

The matter involved Dr. Ye's **, Lin Yao shook her head and didn't say anything.

After school, Lin Yao separated from the others at the gate of the academy and got into the carriage to go home, but before getting into the carriage, she secretly told the driver to pay attention to whether anyone was following them.

After walking a few streets, Lin Yao, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the voice of the coachman in front, "Master, there are people following our carriage."
