Lin Xiao and Lin Fuzi went back to Taixue together.
The old man walked in front of him silently, and Lin Xiao followed on the side, dragging the old man from time to time, so as not to bump into people or be bumped into.
Lin Xiao didn't ask much, just escorted the old man and returned to Taixue.
After arriving at Taixue, Lin Fuzi sat in the study, in a daze.
Just as I was thinking about it, a smell of tea came.
The old man raised his head and saw a bowl of smoked bean tea in front of him.
The old man was stunned, and when he looked at the tea bowl, he saw that there were orange orange peels, white sesame seeds, and round green smoked beans, which were fragrant.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a long time and smiled, "I haven't seen this tea for some years." ” Lin Xiao sat on the side, put a bowl in front of him, held his chin and said, "This is the tea that the old lady brewed to drink, and most scholars don't drink it." ” "The smoked beans and orange peel you brought with you," Lin Fuzi was curious.
Lin Xiao put a porcelain jar and a cloth bag on the table, Lin Xiao opened the porcelain jar and looked at it, and saw that there were pickled white sesame seeds mixed with salt-to-orange peel in it, and in the pocket were shriveled smoked beans.
It was given to me by the grandmother who cooked at Mr.
Chen's house, and I like to drink this.
The old man stared at the bowl in a daze, then took it and tasted it, smiling contentedly.
Lin Xiao saw that he was in a good mood, so he asked, "I thought of a clue."
Lin Fuzi smiled, "You are also a ghost spirit, and you are a virtue with those little ones." ” "Then you look very unhappy."
Lin Xiao drank tea.
"Do you know how many books there are in Longtu Pavilion?"
asked Lin Fuzi suddenly.
"Well, the largest collection of volumes in the world should be in it, not counting the volumes, the number of books alone is amazing."
Lin Xiao replied.
"That's right, to accurately find the dossier and the Taixue directory in such a short period of time, and then take it away, this is not something that ordinary outsiders can do."
Lin Fuzi frowned.
"It should be someone who is very familiar with the Dragon Pavilion," Lin Xiao agreed.
"There are only two kinds of people who are familiar with Longtu Pavilion, one is Zhanzhao and they go in to investigate the case, to be honest, if you really let Zhanzhao in, he won't be able to find the book, you have to take it with you, Bao Yan and Gongsun Xian often help sort out the books, but it is possible to find it.
And the other " Lin Xiao nodded, "It's a student or a master of Taixue."
"Among the people who died this time are students who used to be too studied."
Lin Fuzi sighed, "The murderer may also be a person who is too learned, or a former student of Taixue."
And the loss of the directory and dossier is related to the murder of the students of Taixue and the Jin family twenty years ago, but the Jin family also has Taixue people, and those who can enter Taixue are the pride of the sky, but what did they do after reading poetry and books, even Yang Bo was killed, it is unforgivable. ” Lin Xiao looked at Master Lin, and sure enough, the old man's expression was gloomy at this time, and he was very sad.
"Let's go out and bask in the sun" Lin Xiao pointed to the courtyard full of sunlight, as well as the little fat cat on the stone table who was basking in the sun.
Lin Fuzi nodded, carried a bowl of tea with him, walked to the courtyard, and sat down to drink tea.
The old man vomited bitter water and drank tea, basking in the sun was not as depressed as just now, changed the topic, and asked Lin Xiao, "Do you want to be an official in the future?"
Lin Xiao shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.
"Then why did you come to Taixue to study" Lin Fuzi asked with a smile, "With your character, you should want to travel all over the world."
Lin Xiao smiled, "It is my father's long-cherished wish to let me study Taixue, and Master Chen also asked me to come, he is my benefactor, I naturally want to listen to what he says." ” "Oh Zigui" Lin Fuzi nodded, and asked again, "Your father instructed you to take the Taixue exam" "My father was also admitted to Taixue back then, and everyone else went to Kaifeng, but then he didn't succeed and went back."
Lin Xiao said.
Lin Fuzi was puzzled, "why" Lin Xiao shook his head and said that he didn't know, "My father didn't say it, I just heard my mother say that my father was depressed for a while after he went back, but that should have happened before I was born, about twenty years ago." ” Lin Fuzi frowned, looking at Lin Xiao's talent, his father should not be an ordinary man, so it's a pity that he didn't finish it in Kaifeng, so he asked, "Is it because of the tuition fee?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while, "Probably not, my father is better at making umbrellas than me, didn't I exchange this umbrella for two jars of thousands of taels of wine?"
Lin Fuzi nodded, "That's why did your father go back and be dissatisfied with Taixue, if he was dissatisfied with Taixue, he wouldn't let you come." ” Lin Xiao held the tea bowl, didn't know what interesting things he remembered, and smiled, "My dad is very nerdy." ” Lin Fuzi thought for a while and asked him, "Zigui said that your parents died early, why did you say that?"
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and said, "I don't know." ” Lin Fuzi frowned, "I don't know if it wasn't an illness or an accident?"
"My father and mother died ten years ago, and they were killed."
Lin Xiao said, "I was only eight years old at that time. ” Lin Fuzi pointed to himself, "I was eight years old when my father and mother died, and they were also killed, but the world was not peaceful at that time. ” Lin Xiao held his chin and looked at him, "Then how old were you when you were sent to Taixue?"
"It's about the same as you."
Lin Fuzi drank tea and motioned for Lin Xiao to continue.
"That night, I remember it raining heavily."
Lin Xiao recalled the past, "I was awakened by thunder at night, and when I woke up, my father and mother were not around. ” Lin Xiao frowned slightly and continued to listen.
"When I came out of the bedroom, I saw the light in the study on, so I walked over and heard my father and mother arguing about something."

Lin Xiao said, "When I walked to the door, my mother's screams suddenly came from the room, and then there was no sound in the room, it was very quiet.
The door was locked from the inside, and I couldn't push it in.
Finally, I ran to knock on the door of the neighborhood next door, and my uncle and aunt next door came running and broke open the door to find my father and mother dead in the room. ” After hearing this, Lin Fuzi was stunned, "How did they die?"
"The government conducted an autopsy, and both of them were beaten to death with a slap on their foreheads."
Lin Xiao said, "But I didn't see the murderer at the time, the back window was open, where did the murderer probably escape, and the study was very messy."
After that, I was adopted by Mr.
Chen for all these years, and Mr.
Chen has been investigating the cause of my father's death, but there is still no result. ” "Does your father and mother quarrel on weekdays" Lin Xiao felt that this matter was quite strange, so he continued to ask.
Lin Xiao shook his head, "Very little, they are very affectionate, and my father is a Sven person, so he rarely loses his temper." ” "Then you hear them arguing, what exactly are they arguing about?"
asked Lin Fuzi.
"I don't remember much at the time, but I only heard one sentence very clearly."
Lin Xiao said, "My father said that he must go to Kaifeng to figure things out."
And my mother asked him to forget it, think about her and me, and don't make any more trouble. ” Lin Fuzi was silent for a long time and nodded, "So you came to Kaifeng to study Taixue, and you also want to investigate the cause of your father's death?"
Lin Xiao nodded, "Hmm." ” "It's better to ask Zhanzhao and them to help," Lin Xiao said, "Your father's case is so special, there must be a file in the Longtu Pavilion, and Zhanzhao and them are still very reliable." ” Lin Xiao smiled, "Well, Zhanzhao Bai Yutang, a cat-like foodie, a handsome guy who spends a lot of money." ” Lin Fuzi looked at the sky, "That's just the surface" Lin Xiaole was happy and waved his hand, "I know they are reliable, but it seems that they haven't been busy recently, anyway, I've been waiting for ten years, my father and mother won't come back to life if the case is solved early or late, and it's not too late to investigate my case after the murder case is investigated." ” Lin Fuzi nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, "Don't worry, you will definitely find out the case back then, and you can study here with peace of mind." ” Lin Xiao nodded, drank tea with a teacup, and muttered, "But peace of mind seems to be a little difficult, so many people are watching it every day."
"Hmm" Lin Fuzi didn't understand, and asked him curiously, "What?"
"Oh, I'm hungry."
Lin Xiao ran to the study, took the four treasures of the study, and with a stroke of his pen, a picture of Xuemei was drawn.
Lin Fuzi opened his mouth and just wanted to praise the painting for being good, but who knew that Lin Xiao took the painting and dragged the old man, "Let's go, I sold the painting and invited you to eat delicious food." ” Lin Xiao dragged Lin Fuzi to the street, casually found a painting shop and threw the painting, exchanged it for five hundred taels of silver, and went to Taibaiju with the old man.
As soon as the shopkeeper hung up the painting, he saw a white shadow flickering at the door, and when he understood, he saw a tall and handsome man in black standing in front of the painting shop, looking at him and saying, "What's wrong with you, you have to enter a few shops to be satisfied with this part of the road."
The shopkeeper of the painting shop is wondering, he doesn't know this person, although this person is a little familiar.
At this time, I heard a voice from behind me, "Old ghost, this picture is good" The shopkeeper was startled, and when he turned around, he saw a handsome man dressed in white and with silver hair looking at the painting.
The voice of the "Tianzun" shopkeeper was raised a few points.
The waiter at the door was speechless, and the shopkeepers of all the shops saw Tianzun's reaction, and called "God of Wealth".
All the people who sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings in Kaifeng Mansion know Tianzun, and when Tianzun comes, it means that there is silver to earn.
Everyone knows that this fairy wind and bone master is an antique calligraphy and painting idiot, but he is completely illiterate, and he has a lot of silver in hand, which is easy to deceive.
However, there is one thing to pay attention to, that is, this is the master of Bai Yutang Bai Wuye, whether this antique calligraphy and painting is true or false, whether it is worth it or not, as long as you take it back, you will know it at a glance.
If you deceive Tianzun with fakes, then it is best to immediately roll up and go away within half an hour after selling things, and fly high from now on, living incognito and living in seclusion, otherwise the end of offending the brocade mouse is unimaginable, and at any time and anywhere, you will be arrested and sent to Kaifeng Mansion to be punished for cheating money.
As a result, the merchants of Kaifeng Mansion have a bottom in their hearts, and what they sell to Tianzun must be genuine, and it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive.
The shopkeeper smiled when he saw Tianzun, and at the same time thought that the black-clothed man at the door was asleep, which he had seen when Zhanzhao's grandfather Yin Hou was walking together.
So, the shopkeeper's mouth was sweet, "Tianzun has a good eye, this is the treasure of my town store" Looking at the sky, everyone who sells paintings has this set of words, is this all taught by a master?
The shopkeeper asked Yin to wait inside, "Isn't this Lord Zhan's grandfather, please come inside, please sit down and have a cup of tea." ” Yin Hou's originally stinky face immediately eased after hearing the words "Zhan Daren's grandfather", and said that the traders of Kaifeng Mansion were so sweet with their mouths, so they walked in "reluctantly" and sat down to wait for Tianzun.
What Tianzun took a fancy to was the Xuemei picture that Lin Xiao had sold just now.
Tianzun hugged his arms and said, "I've seen this picture before, how much silver?"
"Hey, a thousand taels."
The shopkeeper's squint smiled, this kind of business is best done, because it is not an ancient painting, and there is no question of authenticity.
The young man who sold the painting just now didn't know where it came from, but the expert looked at the door, not to mention that the painting was sold for 1,000 taels, and someone bought 2,000 taels, but the man ran away for only 500 taels, and he came to give him silver.
"Justice," Tianzun touched his chin and walked around admiring the painting, "I saw it when I was in Hangzhou ten years ago, that one is a cedar picture, it is well painted, a scholar holding a doll sold it in an umbrella shop, but unfortunately it was snatched away late." ” Yin Ou looked at him, "Ten years ago, you couldn't even remember what you had for lunch. ” Tianzun looked at him with the whites of his eyes.
Yin Hou didn't want to care about him, Zhanzhao discussed with him two days ago, and asked him to let Tianzun forget this point, and he should give his grandson a face.
Tianzun took a closer look at the painting, and then clapped his hands, "The ink hasn't dried yet, what about the scholar?"
The shopkeeper said, "The scholar has left." ” "Ah," Tianzun regretted, "It would be nice to be able to touch it, but that year he was not happy to see that I didn't buy a cedar picture, so he said to paint me another one."
Unfortunately, someone came to him halfway, and he said that he had something to close, and he painted it for me at night, so that I could buy it the next day.
Who knew that the next day, when I went to his house, the shop was sealed, saying that it was a murder case. ” Yin Hou frowned and looked at Tianzun, "So it's not Yutang's problem or Zhao's problem, it's you who brings the decline."
Tianzun squinted his eyes and waited, and while taking out the silver bag and giving it to the shopkeeper, he asked, "What is that scholar, I'll see if the person who owes me a picture of cedar is a person." ” "A seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, unkempt."
The shopkeeper's answer.
Tianzun was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and thought, "No, that scholar was in his twenties back then, and he has been in his twenties for almost ten years, so he must be in his thirties." ” The shopkeeper shook his head vigorously, "No, it looks so young." ” Tianzun blinked, took the painting and muttered, "Isn't it the same person, but this painting style is very special, I remember" The shopkeeper also nodded, "This style of painting is indeed special, I have never seen the same painting in all these years."

I just told him that if you come back with a painting, I'll ask you about it next time. ” "Yes, yes."
Tianzun nodded vigorously.
"Hey."
Yin Hou suddenly patted Tianzun, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, motioning for him to look.
Tianzun looked up, and saw that on the road in front of him, Zhanzhao Baiyutang and his party hurriedly turned into an alley facing the painting shop.
Tianzun was overjoyed, took the painting and ran to offer treasure to Bai Yutang.
"Alas" the shopkeeper was still holding the money bag thrown to him by Tianzun, "Tianzun" Tianzun is gone.
Yin Hou sighed, reached out and took the money bag, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and gave it to the shopkeeper, then shook his head and walked out grinding his teeth, "So defeated, how thick is the white boy's family?"
Yin Hou said as he descended the steps of the gallery, but saw someone running from the slanted thorn.
Yin Hou glanced at it, took a step back, and a young man in front of him hurriedly ran by, he didn't seem to see Yin Hou.
Yin Hou subconsciously glanced at it, and felt that this young man's clothes were a little familiar, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the student robes of the splendid academy near Bai Yutang's house, what kind of academy was that Yin Hou crossed the street, took a second look, and saw the scholar running forward, sneaky, as if he was following someone.
Yin Hou took a step back again, looking into the distance, ahead, near the corner of the intersection, there were two people who were turning a corner, not walking fast, one was a tall young man, and the other, Yin Hou recognized from the back and the robe of the Taixue master, it should be the old man Lin Xiao, the dean of Taixue.
Yin Hou looked at the student who was following behind, was this person following Lin Xiao Feeling that something was wrong, Yin Hou wanted to go with him to take a look, but before he could take a few steps, he heard a "whew" behind him.
Yin Hou turned around, Tianzun ran over and grabbed his sleeve, "Old ghost, you got lost just after crossing the street, fortunately I came back to find you, here" After speaking, Tianzun dragged Yin Hou to the alley, and this alley was the alley where Zhan Zhao and the others came to find "the ghost knows" according to the address written on Chen Fuzi's note
