Improper stepping stone for men

When Zhang Laizi sent the news about the Su family, Zuo Yangan already knew that Yang Yan went to the palace half a year ago to serve as a servant in the East Palace, and he also meddled in pushing Zuo Yangyi to the emperor and the prince. before.

Looking at his younger brother exuding a powerful aura, Zuo Yangan almost gritted his teeth with hatred, what is going on with Su Yangyan?

Obviously it was Zuo Yangyi who made a noise to send him away, which caused him to fall off the cliff and become disabled on the way. Afterwards, the Hou Mansion ignored him even more. He was lucky enough to climb a high branch, but he turned around to support him he?

Zuo Yang'an felt that Su Yangyan might have a brain problem, and his taboo against him was even deeper. When he was still in the Hou Mansion, he used to suppress him everywhere, but he didn't expect that when he left in disgrace, he would still be able to restrain himself. Own.

Therefore, when Zhang Laizi reported the news, he had already made up his mind that he could not keep him any longer. If he saw hope and then broke it, although it is very pleasant to torture people like that, but if you let the scourge live, I am afraid it will appear again. what variables.

So he called his confidants to give some instructions secretly, and then took out most of his net worth saved for many years, and handed it over to him to arrange things.

Zhang Laizi is just an ordinary farmer, it's okay to ask him to monitor the Su family, but when he suddenly heard that he was asked to kill someone, he was almost scared out of his wits.

However, under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man. When he saw 50 taels of white silver, his heart was shaken again. You must know that this is just a deposit, and the man promised him that he would have double the silver reward.

On the one hand, there is human life that has nothing to do with him, and on the other hand, the wealth and wealth of the second half of his life, he hesitated for a long time, and decided to do it after gritting his teeth.

Yang Yan didn't know about the danger approaching him. He lived in Su's house for three days. Except for the first day, the family enjoyed eating and drinking leisurely. From the second day on, he took care of his three elder brothers' studies.

The three of them hadn't been lazy in the past six months, but they would have slackened a little without him in front of them. Suddenly, they were caught and tested by their brother and wife. There were more or less flaws, and they were trained so hard that they didn't dare to lift their heads for a while.

Yang Yan checked and made up for the gaps for the elder brothers, and assigned new homework, and then dropped a sentence, which almost scared them out of their wits.

"What? Exam for talent?"

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. As the boss, Brother Su also had no confidence in front of the fourth brother, so he said cautiously: "Fourth brother, is this... a little too fast? The fifth brother has studied a few years longer than us, and we haven't finished yet. If we go..."

"It's not that we are worried about ourselves. It's not because you are also the lecturer of the Eastern Palace. You are teaching the prince. If we don't pass the exam, you will lose face."

To put it bluntly, they are not without confidence.

Yang Yan smiled lightly, and said: "I'm not telling you to leave immediately, there is still more than half a year before the autumn exam next year, as long as you put all your energy into your studies during this time and don't get distracted, you can definitely give it a try then."

"As for the fifth brother, you don't have to worry about it. I've already discussed it with him. He will definitely end next year. You all know his knowledge. Unless there is an undeniable accident, he will definitely win."

"Brothers, please be more careful. When the time comes, the story of a four-scholar will be up to you."

That's more stressful, right?The three of Brother Su suddenly felt that their shoulders were a little heavier, and they all felt like they were about to suffocate.

"Don't worry, big brother, second brother and third brother," Yang Yan continued to laugh, "I have already asked the prince for instructions. I don't need to live in the East Palace for a long time. After I return to Beijing, I will buy another house in the city, and I can go home every day to guide you. One or two, make sure that your homework will not be missed."

No, not at all.Thinking that every day in the future will be the same as today, with trepidation being checked by the younger brother's studies, the elder brothers have a feeling of trembling.

Yang Yan didn't seem to notice the bleakness on the faces of the three of them. After having dinner happily, he went to bed early so that he could get up early and return to the palace the next day.

In the middle of the night, the whole village was asleep, except for the occasional barking of dogs, there was silence everywhere.

Yang Yan was awakened by a rustling sound, he listened for a moment, first there was the sound of a beast eating, and then the dog fell to the ground whimpering, probably because it ate something it should not have eaten and was put down.

He sneered in his heart, knowing that someone would be restless after his news got out, but he didn't expect that person to strike so decisively, that he would strike at the Su family without waiting for careful arrangements.

But if you think about it again, if you don't seize the opportunity of these two days, it will be even more difficult to do something to them when he goes to the East Palace and the Su family moves to the capital again.

He quietly sat up, put on his clothes quickly, and then turned over and got out of bed, standing firmly on the ground with two legs.

After careful maintenance, he was actually able to walk a few months ago, but the original owner's legs dragged on for too long, even he could not completely heal, and his legs would swell and hurt after walking for a long time. So he still appeared in front of people in a wheelchair.

However, the wheelchair was too bulky, and if he sat out at this time, the person who turned into the courtyard would be scared away, so he could only hold back the discomfort and make himself more tired.

The night is clear tonight, and a last quarter moon hangs high in the sky. Yang Yan pushed open the door almost silently, and quickly walked towards the direction of the movement, and soon saw a familiar figure bowing like a thief. Bow down and carefully feel inside.

His face was clearly visible under the moonlight. It was Zhang Manzi who had been monitoring the Su family for two years. At this moment, he looked panicked and crazy, and he was carrying a big bamboo basket on his back. thing.

Zhang Laizi didn't know that he had been discovered. He held his breath and listened for a while, but there was no movement. He stooped and groped towards the house of the fourth son of the Su family who had been inquiring yesterday. When he reached the window, he reached out and pierced the paper on the window.

Then he carefully placed the bamboo basket on the ground, and stretched his hand inside after looking carefully. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see that it was a snake. The seven-inch snake body was caught and twisted non-stop. Look at the snake's head and The flowers are obviously highly poisonous.

Yang Yan instantly understood his plan, and Ancun was leaning against the mountain. Snakes, insects, rats and ants were often found in the village. Putting poisonous snakes in his house can be said to be the safest way.

If he was really bitten to death, others would think that he was just unlucky. If he found out and escaped, they would only lament his fate and never think of murdering him.

However, he is not the frail and disabled scholar that outsiders think. Now it can be said that he has been stolen by others.

Yang Yan was about to step forward to grab someone, but found that Zhang Laizi didn't leave after he succeeded, and picked up the bamboo basket to touch the residence of Brother Zhang and the others. His eyes suddenly turned cold, is he planning to destroy them all?

Brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews were still sleeping in the house, so he couldn't let him really put the poisonous snake in this time. When the person just touched Brother Zhang's room, he had already quietly walked behind him and picked up the wooden stick Hit him on the back of the neck.

Yang Yan's hand strength was so strong that Zhang Laizi passed out before he even had time to snort. This was the result of him wanting to stay alive and control him, otherwise he would have killed him directly with this stick.

The huge movement alarmed the people in the house, and the door was pulled open almost immediately. Brother Su stood in front of the door with his clothes intact. Obviously, he had noticed the attack before, but he was not sure of the purpose of the visitor, so It didn't happen.

Soon the doors opened one after another, and the second brother Su and the third brother Su also came out, neither of them looked like they had just woken up.

Finally, there is still a little vigilance.Yang Yan glanced at them and gave up the idea of ​​doubling the daily training.

Unaware that he and others escaped unharmed, Big Brother Su looked at the fainted person on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Laizi? What does he want to come to our house at this time?"

Yang Yan raised his toes and tapped the basket next to him, and said: "It's poisonous snakes, I already have one in my room, and I'm afraid there are all of them here."

The faces of the brothers turned black immediately, and the sisters-in-law in the room heard such a horrible thing through the door, they all let out a low cry, and Su's father and Su's mother, who came hurriedly in their clothes, were so frightened that their feet softened. Finally, Third Brother Su, who was closest to them, gave him a hand, so he didn't fall down.

"What a crime!" Empress Su was terrified, and she spoke with tears in her voice, "This is going to kill us all! Who on earth wants to do this kind of murder?"

"No matter who it is," Yang Yan looked at the people on the ground coldly, "I will find him out this time, some accounts should be settled."

"Fourth brother, you have more knowledge than us, and everyone listens to you today," Father Su rarely took the initiative to say, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Brother, go and invite the village chief and all the uncles and grandpas to come here," Yang Yan didn't refuse, and ordered directly, "Second brother went to the county yamen to report the case, saying that someone set a poisonous snake to kill, remember to mention my identity, The East Palace talks about serving the crown prince’s close ministers, so if you want to come to the county magistrate, you dare not neglect.”

"Okay, fourth brother." The two agreed at the same time, and followed his orders separately.

Of course the people from the same village came the fastest. The village chief and others were originally displeased when they were called up in the middle of the night, but they didn't dare to neglect when they heard that it was such a serious matter as killing someone's life, so they just put on some clothes and came over.

When he arrived at Su's house, Yang Yan had already sat back on the wheelchair. His face was already pale, and it looked even paler under the moonlight. Just terrified.

At this time, Zhang Laizi appeared in the Su family's yard dressed like this, and the alarmed villagers testified that he had seen him sneaking around in the mountains with the basket on his back, and the poisonous snake caught in the basket and Yang Yan's house, The witnesses and material evidence are complete, and the matter has basically been qualitative.

After he woke up, although he forced himself to quibble, he couldn't explain why his own people appeared here, making people know that he was lying.
