Volume 1, Chapter 54

The county trial storm passed like this, and Yang Cong could finally calm down and prepare for the trial.

The specific date of the prefecture examination cannot be determined, because there are no full-time officials under the academic and political education of a province. He has to arrange for people to supervise the examination, and is usually drawn from the provincial government offices. Therefore, the supervisory examination officials are very unstable, and the county examination and prefecture examinations in each prefecture can only take turns.

However, the government test is probably around August, so this is certain, which means that Yang Cong still has about two months to prepare.

After experiencing a county examination, he already understood that the imperial examination was not all about making things. Psychological quality and physical fitness were equally important. Therefore, after the county examination, he did not lock himself in the yard and put his head on making things. He went to the county school every day. In addition to exercising, he also found some things to exercise his psychological quality.

For example, every morning he would go to his grandfather Yang Rong's yard to sing Mao on time, and hold up the various gazes of more than twenty shopkeepers to hone his willpower.

At the beginning, he was indeed extremely uncomfortable and didn't even dare to raise his head. After all, most of the people present were his uncles and even his grandfather. He was high and sat next to his grandfather, and he was always a little nervous.

However, it got better after getting used to it. After about ten days, he stopped nervous.

He felt a little bored when he relaxed, because he just came to listen, without reporting or talking, just sitting there.

It's not a big deal to sit there like a wooden pier. He felt bored and secretly observed the expressions of the shopkeepers below.

After this observation, he found something was wrong.

It is understandable that everyone is jealous of him. After all, almost all the Yang family present are from the Yang family. He has obtained the inheritance rights of huge amounts of family property by relying on his reincarnation, while others can only work honestly to get salary. It would be abnormal if they were not jealous of him.

The reason why he found something was wrong was mainly because someone looked at him with jealousy.

This person is his second uncle Yang Yun, who is his father's younger brother.

He found that the second uncle Yang Yun looked at him was too weird.

Many times, this second uncle deliberately pretended to be relieved, as if he agreed with his nephew's successor.

However, Yang Cong could clearly feel that it was pretending, and sometimes, he could see that the second uncle had implicit reluctance, anger, and even ferocity.

This unwillingness and anger are understandable. There is no way, because he was born more than his father, so the huge wealth of the Yang family was lost to him.

But what does this ferocity mean? Could it be that the second uncle still has the idea of ​​seizing his family property?

This family has too much property, sometimes it is not a good thing. You should not only beware of others' ideas, but also prevent your family from making plans.

He watched this kind of scene on TV in his previous life, which is the so-called grudges of wealthy families. Many times, in the face of money, family affection is quite fragile. In order to compete for family property, it is not surprising that brothers or even fathers and sons turn against each other.

Unexpectedly, I would encounter such a bloody thing.

This incident was like a thorn, hiding in Yang Cong's heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell his grandfather that his grandfather had only two sons and he loved his second uncle quite much. If he ran to complain, his grandfather would not know how uncomfortable he would be.

Originally, he thought about the matter of the second uncle, so he could do it secretly, and there was no need to make a big fuss about it. However, on this day, something suddenly triggered his sensitive nerves, making him feel even more and more wrong.

Because that night, he and Yu Dayou and others came to the first floor after dinner on the second floor of Furui Building, they happened to see his second uncle's adopted son Yang Jinfeng. Yang Jinfeng obviously saw him, but this guy not only came to say hello, but also ran away in panic like a mouse seeing a cat!

What the hell is this guy?

As the saying goes, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." He didn't show any abnormalities, so why did this guy run away?

What exactly makes this guy so afraid of himself?

Yang Cong thought about it all the way and never understood that he and Yang Jinfeng seemed to have little interaction in the past, but only met each other a few times occasionally. Moreover, this guy was very respectful when he saw him, and even had a little flattering taste. He had to deliberately flatter himself every time.

This time, this guy's behavior was too abnormal and he actually ran away when he saw himself!

This guy must have a ghost in his heart. After returning to his yard, he finally couldn't help asking: "Monkey, have you ever thought something was wrong with Yang Jinfeng recently?"

When Hou Zhitan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then slowly recalled: "If the eldest young master doesn't say it, the young man doesn't realize it. Now I think about it, there is something wrong with the madman during this period. During this period, he saw that we always dodge and stop talking to us, as if he was afraid that we would know something."

The madman is Yang Jinfeng's nickname. Being able to call him that proves that Hou Zhitan has a good relationship with him. Since they have a good relationship and don't talk when they meet, it's even more terrifying.

Yang Cong vaguely felt that there must be a big problem here. Uncle Second is probably doing something unfavorable to him, and Yang Jinfeng must know about it and even participated in it.

What to do?

Do you still think that you don’t know and let it go?

This will definitely not work. Yang Jinfeng must be caught and asked.

Nowadays, the status of the masters and servants of wealthy families is very different. It is very simple for him, a young master, to catch a scary person in charge and ask questions. He doesn't even need to ask his grandfather for such a thing, as long as he can find an excuse to block his second uncle's mouth.

Yang Cong thought about it and asked coldly, "Did you see Yang Jinfeng on the road when you first came back?"

Hou Zhitan shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, he usually doesn't go home so early. He likes to drink wine. If nothing happens after dinner, he usually goes to drink wine."

If you haven't come back, that's better.

Yang Cong immediately asked again: "When will he usually come back?"

Hou Zhitan said without hesitation: "He doesn't dare to stay outside too late. Usually he will come back around the Xu hour."

Now there is almost half an hour left in the time of Xu, so it is enough to prepare everything. Yang Cong thought for a while, then said decisively: "Go to Xiaoxiong to get a bag of silver."

Hou Zhitan was stunned when he heard this, why did he take the money?

However, he did not ask this. He was stunned for a moment and asked carefully: "Master, how much do you take?"

Yang Cong said without hesitation: "Just one hundred taels."

Hou Zhitan nodded, then ran to the inner courtyard without hesitation.

Yu Dayou and the others were also confused. What was going on? Yang Cong came back and didn't go back to the inner courtyard. After getting off the carriage, he asked for it and then asked someone to get the money. It was simply inexplicable.

As soon as Hou Zhitan left, Yu Dayou couldn't help asking, "Qingfeng, what's wrong?"

Yang Cong didn't hide it and said directly: "I feel something is wrong with my second uncle. He may be doing something bad about me and my grandfather behind his back."

I'm so dizzy. That's how it is.

However, this is someone else's family matter, and they can't say anything.
