The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

The beggar who was used as bait that day, since he was able to flee, must have been forced, and escaped when he found an opportunity.

"Did the Yang family secretly open Qinghong Court?" Zhao Lan was a little surprised, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Lin Yao said, "Yang Zun said it to me himself, can it be false?"

Zhao Lan frowned, and said, "But... I heard from the master that the people behind Qinghongyuan are either rich or noble. Although the Yang family is a famous family in Yangzhou, if you say they are rich or noble, which one is not counted ah?"

"Because Yang Zun's uncle fell in love with a nobleman." Lin Yao didn't say which nobleman it was, and this kind of thing can't be publicized everywhere. Lin Yao still knows what to say and what not to say.

Noble.

Zhao Lan and the others looked at each other, apparently unaware.

But it's normal, although they are all from official families, they are still studying after all, and they are not the eldest sons of the family. It is reasonable for the elders in the family not to tell them these secrets.

If Lin Yao hadn't been in danger this time and heard a few words from the mysterious man's mouth, she probably wouldn't have known about it.

"How did you know that?" Liang Cheng asked.

Lin Yao said, "It was said by the person who rescued me from the other courtyard of the Yang family." As for what was said, Lin Yao did not continue.

Zhao Lan and the others were knowledgeable and interesting, so they didn't ask any further questions.

"Since that's the case, we can find someone to keep an eye on Qinghong Garden now, and when the time comes..." Gu Zhen was interrupted before he finished speaking, "Not yet."

It was Liang Cheng who interrupted him, "The real masters of Qinghong Garden are not the father and son of the Yang family. The father and son of the Yang family are just relying on the power of the nobles to pretend to be a tiger. The few people in our hands can help us run errands. Now, if you do this kind of stalking, you may be discovered as soon as you send them out, let alone arresting the evidence of Yang's father and son, I'm afraid they will have to be caught by them in turn, and the loss outweighs the gain."

What Liang Cheng said naturally makes sense, "But, when the Yang family falls, the apparent owner of the Qinghong Court may also be handed over to someone else. Will we still be able to find evidence of the Yang family's crimes here in Qinghong Court?"

Lin Yao shook her head and laughed, "Ah Zhen, your worries are unnecessary."

"How to say?"

Lin Yao said, "This Qinghong Garden was originally opened by the Yang family and his sons to make money by taking advantage of the nobleman. It is wrong to say that the master behind Qinghongyuan is the nobleman behind them. How could that nobleman want to get involved with Qinghongyuan?" A dirty thing like Hongyuan? Once caught, it will be a stain that cannot be washed off."

"Ayao, what kind of person is that nobleman you are talking about, and you are afraid of getting involved in such a thing?" Could it be some royal relative?

Lin Yao didn't explain, he straightened his clothes, and said, "The father and son of the Yang family rely on Yang Long, and Yang Long relies on that nobleman, who will protect them, one is that Yang Long can handle affairs, and the other is... The Yang family father and son are very good at collecting money, and they donated a lot of money, otherwise, that noble person will support them?"

Once Yang Long fell, that nobleman might wish to break up with the Yang family, so how could he save Qinghong Garden?

What's more, at that time, that nobleman may be the first person who wants to wipe out Qinghong Garden.

Lin Yao's words were very clear.

Zhao Lan and Liang Cheng were the oldest among them, and they vaguely sensed that Lin Yao might know who the nobleman beside Yang Long was, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words with such certainty.

They are friends with Lin Yao, and they have been together for a while, so they naturally know that Lin Yao is not a random person, since he said so, he must be sure.

"Then should we keep an eye on Qinghong Garden now?" Zhao Lan asked.

Lin Yao thought for a while, then shook her head, "Not for now, but you can keep an eye on the Yang family and his son, especially Yang Zun."

"Yang Zun is only fourteen or fifteen years old, what's the use of keeping an eye on him? It's better to keep an eye on his father." Zhao Lan said.

Lin Yao shook her head, "Although he is young, he has a vicious heart, and he is not too young at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Even if he doesn't know much, he must have started to get in touch with Qinghong Court. Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with Qinghong Court?"

"According to this, after he started to get in touch with Qinghongyuan, he took advantage of the nobleman's influence to attack you?" Liang Cheng thoughtfully.

Lin Yao was slightly taken aback, but didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Liang Cheng said with a smile, "After talking so much, it turns out that you haven't realized the problem yet?"

Lin Yao didn't know what he was referring to, "Stop beating around the bush, just say it."

"Then I'll just say it straight," Liang Cheng took a breath, and said, "I found out that Yang Zun went out with you on the day your accident happened. Several burly servants came to pick you up, after I heard about it, I thought nothing would happen to you, so I didn't follow, but it turned out that something happened to you."

Hearing this, Gu Zhen's face was burning with panic, "I didn't expect that so many people would come to pick up A-Yao and something would happen."

"I can't blame you," Liang Cheng patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder, casually reassured, and continued, "After your accident, I didn't suspect Yang Zun, because I don't think he has the ability to do that. I took you away under the protection of many people, I only heard about the situation at that time, and I don't fully understand it, but after hearing what you said just now, I connected the cause and effect together."

Without Liang Cheng continuing to talk, Lin Yao also understood what was going on.

Lin Ruhai really attached great importance to him, and would never send some idiots to pick him up. Since it wasn't Lin Ruhai's people who had a problem, it was Yang Zun who borrowed other forces, which exceeded Lin Ruhai's estimate.

"If you don't mention it, I really haven't thought about this problem." And I have never thought about this problem.

Liang Cheng said, "Bringing it up now is just an afterthought, and it doesn't make much sense."

Lin Yao shook her head, "No!"

"What's wrong?" Liang Cheng was taken aback.

Lin Yao took a breath and frowned slightly, "My master can't think of the problems you and I can think of? But the master has never mentioned a few words about this matter to me, and here is the teacher. Since the teacher has repeatedly pointed at Yang Zun, Then he must be an insider, but when I saw the teacher today, the teacher never mentioned it to me."

He always felt that his father and teacher seemed to have a private relationship and reached an agreement with each other.

He couldn't help but think of the strange man that day.

The man said that saving him was a favor, but after sending him to the Lin Mansion, he ran away without showing his face.

Can he be regarded as, this person has been looking for his father in private?

"You're still young, so it's normal not to tell you." Liang Cheng said.

Lin Yao: ...

This is very hurtful.

Lin Yao was so shocked that she lost the interest to continue talking, so she changed the subject directly, "Don't talk about this, from today onwards, I will live in the academy."

"Isn't the academy not staying overnight? There is no room for students, where do you live?" Liang Cheng asked suspiciously.

Lin Yao said, "I live in the teacher's courtyard."

Zhao Lan and the others took a breath when they heard the words, "What? Do you live with the dean?"

"Well, and starting tomorrow, I'm going to practice martial arts with my teacher, and I'm afraid I won't have much time to play with you in the future." Lin Yao said.

Hearing that Lin Yao wanted to practice martial arts, they thought it was because Lin Yao was plotted against by Yang Zun this time, and she had a psychological shadow, and wanted to practice martial arts to give herself a sense of security, so they didn't talk about the topic of martial arts.

"Isn't there a martial arts master in the academy? Why do you want to learn from the dean? The dean doesn't look like a violent person." Xie Yan didn't interrupt much, but at this moment he raised a question.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Gu Zhen twitched his lips and replied, "What misunderstanding did Ah Yan have about the dean? Our dean is famous for both civil and military skills. Don't look at the gentle and refined appearance of the dean. When it comes to beating people, it is not vague at all, Yang Zun's father was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed, and it is said that he will lie in bed for at least a month."

Xie Yan: "..." This truth is a bit scary.

He originally thought that even if the dean beat someone, there would be no terrible consequences, but now it sounds like Yang Zun's father was beaten badly.

Xie Yan fell into deep thought, and everyone ignored him.

"Ayao, can we practice martial arts with you?" Gu Zhen asked eagerly.

Lin Yao was full of doubts, "Isn't there a martial arts master in the academy?"

"How can Master Wu of the academy compare with the dean." Gu Zhen said.

Lin Yao didn't understand the difference, "I can't make the decision. If you want to learn from the teacher, you might as well ask your father. I also asked my master to ask the teacher here."

"Oh? Then I'll tell my father when I go back." Gu Zhen said.

Lin Yao saw that he was full of enthusiasm, so it was not easy to hit him, "The rest time is coming soon, you go in, I should go back, and I will come to you when I have time."

"Hey wait!" Liang Cheng held Lin Yao back, "Will you still go to school with us?"

Lin Yao was originally the first disciple of the dean, and it is normal to study with the dean. During this period of time, he has been attending classes in the academy, and he has never seen the dean give Lin Yao a small lesson. This teacher seems to be a fake.

But now Lin Yao is going to live with his teacher, and maybe she won't study with them anymore.

Lin Yao was stopped by the question, thought for a while, and said, "This teacher didn't tell me," she paused, "Even if I don't go to class with you, it's okay. If we don't go to class together, are we not friends?"

"That's not what I meant." Liang Cheng hurriedly explained.

Lin Yao smiled and waved her hands, "I know that's not what you mean, so there's no need to explain. Anyway, even if I don't attend classes with you, I'm still in the academy. You can come to me when you have time."

In the future, he will definitely not have as much free time as Liang Cheng and the others.

Liang Cheng hesitated to speak, "It's not good for us to disturb the principal."

After all, the dean is Lin Yao's teacher, not theirs. If they ran to find Lin Yao indifferently, they might be reprimanded by the dean as impolite juniors.

Since they went to school in Shanhai Academy, they have suffered a lot from the dean. Any weird experiences were all brought up by the dean, and it would be okay if they didn't do it.
