"Brother Di! Brother Shilin! Save my little brother!"
When Di Jin saw Yang Wencai, he found that he no longer looked like he was suffering from severe kidney failure, but that he was about to die in front of him.
But as soon as he saw him, Yang Wencai rushed over, his legs were about to fall to the ground, and he begged with tears in his mouth.
"stand up!"
Di Jin pulled him up.
The Song Dynasty was very strict about kneeling and worshiping. When officials went to court and entered the palace, they were not allowed to kneel at will, otherwise it would violate etiquette.
In TV dramas, courtiers kneel down all the time, but in real life, courtiers kneel down in front of officials. That is not respect and admiration, but a feeling of forcing the emperor to agree with his own opinions, which is similar to forcing the emperor to force the palace.
By the same token, how could Di Jin be kneeled down by his classmate Yang Wencai now?
"Ouch!"
Being squeezed by the iron hoop-like palm, Yang Wencai stood up in pain and trembled: "Let go! Let go!"
Di Jin let go, frowned and said: "If you have something to say, if you act rogue during the Chinese New Year, then I will take you to the Yang Mansion!"
"You must not go to Yang's Mansion!"
Yang Wencai was excited and said quickly: "Brother Shilin, please help me!"
Only people who are close to each other can call each other by their cousins. Guo Chengshou has no problem calling Shi Lin, but Yang Wencai is not qualified at all. Di Jin didn't waste any time and reached out and said: "Since you keep talking about other things, it seems to be a crime. It’s all over. Are you here to plead with Pan County Lieutenant? Then let’s go to the county government office!”
Yang Wencai was dragged all the way to the corner. Only then did he have the strength to speak, and said intermittently: "I say! I say! My house was ransacked! By the Lei family and... and the people from the Imperial City Division!"
Di Jin stopped.
In fact, as soon as he saw Yang Wencai, he guessed the other person's intention. After all, he rescued Mrs. Lei from Yang Wencai's home under the guidance of his sister Di Xiangling. Now that Mr. Mo is finished, this person will also be in bad luck. It is impossible for the Lei family to let go of the accomplice who kidnapped their daughter.
Apart from anything else, if you want to take the imperial examination, there is no way.
However, Yang Wencai was well-informed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. On the first day of the new year, he begged him. Di Jin also wanted to hear what the other party said: "Why did you come to find me?"
Yang Wencai said in a low voice: "Brother Shilin has close ties with the Lei family. The young lady of the Lei family was kidnapped before. It was you who found the kidnapper and rescued her. That night you were also with the Imperial City Secretary..."
After saying that, he took out another thing and handed it over: "Please take a look, these are some notes of my experience. If you and I, my classmates, can help me pass this test and take the same course in the future, I will definitely repay Brother Shilin for his great kindness." !”
To be honest, Di Jin had already thought of an excuse. He was just an ordinary scholar. The Lei family rewarded him with three thousand guan for his contribution to the kidnapping case. The Imperial City Division accidentally discovered a suspected Liao spy. His whereabouts turned out to be an illusion and not implicated at all...
But looking at the experience notes handed over by Yang Wencai, Di Jin was startled.
Because what is recorded above is the information of each student taking the exam.
The information is extremely detailed, including family background, good writing style, famous poems, several imperial examinations he has participated in, his performance rankings, and even his temperament and hobbies are recorded to a certain extent.
Di Jin saw Liu Changyan, the last Xie Yuan, and also discovered that the Bingzhou Xie Yuan from the previous semester was actually Wei Yuan, the teacher of the academy.
Even Guo Chengshou was there. Even though he was not preparing for the imperial examination, Yang Wencai was obviously not sure, so he also recorded it.
And the above list is not limited to Bingzhou, but also includes surrounding states and counties...
"Brother Shilin, how are you?"
Yang Wencai observed the other party's surprised reaction, and his expression gradually became more confident: "I have another copy, it belongs to the examiner!"
However, the next moment, Di Jin's words caused his demeanor to change uncontrollably: "Did you provide the source of the information about Hao Qingyu's extortion of money?"
"Ah!"
After a moment of silence, Yang Wencai laughed, and he could tell how stiff his smile was: "Brother Shilin...what are you talking about?"
Di Jin said: "The house in the center of the city requires a lot of money, right? I thought it was a bit strange at the time. Your financial resources are not enough to buy such a big house, but now that I think about it, the source of the money has been found. ”
"And Hao Qingyu wants to blackmail the students, but he is just a supervisor, and his scope of activities is in the academy. Many things are not clear. Even if he wants to take advantage of others, he can't. It would be different if it were you!"
"Combining the two, does my speculation make some sense? Of course, if you want to find evidence, you also need to check the source of the money you paid for the house..."
Hearing this, Yang Wencai knew that he could no longer deny it. He straightened his slightly arched waist, opened his eyes that were always half-squinted, and his whole temperament suddenly changed: "As expected of Di Shilin, who solved the case and cleared the wrong. , I really shouldn’t be so smart in front of you... That’s right! Hao Qingyu’s initial blackmail was because I was providing him with the target and handle! "
Di Jin said: "For what? You are not short of money, right?"
"Why is there no shortage? My status is precarious, and I may be knocked back to my original shape at any time..." Yang Wencai spread his hands, and his extremely thin body became more and more prominent: "Brother Di, you know, if I am not like this, I will die at any time. The Yang family has kicked me out a long time ago. Where can I have the identity of an heir? Now my three younger brothers all look down on me, but they are not prepared for me because they don’t think that such a person can take away what belongs to them. industry!"
Di Jin looked at this classmate who looked like he was suffering from severe kidney failure, and it was hard not to feel contempt.
Yang Wencai thought to himself and said: "With Hao Qingyu's greed and boldness, I have a house and property in Bingzhou. If I study hard and become a Jinshi in high school, I will become a member of the Yang family to see me." Act with your face!"
At this point, Yang Wencai raised his head, his voice full of longing for the future, but not blindly confident: "However, it is difficult to pass the Jinshi exam. I am not as confident as Brother Di who is famous in Hedong, so I still want to invest in these industries. To keep..."
At this point, Yang Wencai bowed and saluted again: "Brother Di is in front of me, and I don't dare to deceive you anymore. This time I came to see that the Lei family seems to be a little afraid of you, so I did this test. If I can have some effect, I will , Brother Di, please give me a hand, I will definitely ride the horse in front and behind the horse in the future, and do the work of the dog and the horse!"
Di Jin said slowly: "Hao Qingyu was in trouble with Ge Lao this time and blackmailed Guo Chengshou. Were you the one who pulled the strings?"
Yang Wencai shook his head: "It's not me! The students in the academy are either rich or noble, and they threaten others with their shortcomings. They may gain a lot of wealth for a while, but they will definitely not end well in the future, so I left two years ago!"
"There is someone else..."
Di Jin thought for a while, but believed this sentence: "You find out the people who have cooperated with Hao Qingyu in the past two years. I don't like the case to have tail."
Yang Wencai responded without hesitation: "Yes!"
After that, he bowed again, straightened up, returned to his usual weak appearance, and left slowly.
Watching the disappearing figure, Di Jin stood there in silence for a moment.
Yang Wencai is a real villain who can bend and stretch. The mistakes he made are not big or small. Hao Qingyu is dead. Without witnesses, I can't beat him to death with a stick. This is what the other party dares to admit. The confidence to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer...
Do you really want to use such a person?
