After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Qin Yan walked out and saw Liu Yanming being led towards this side.

The two of them looked at each other calmly. Qin Yan thought, it seems that Lord Lin intends to have a chat with everyone. The selection of disciples still needs to be reviewed and not be finalized.

It can be seen that Master Lin attaches great importance to this opportunity to accept him as a disciple.

He returned to the courtyard of the poetry meeting and took a look around. He found that He Shuyuan had also been taken away by Lin Bosheng, which must be because of the matter of accepting a disciple.

Since Lord Lin still needs to consider, it's good that the other two also have a chance. As long as it doesn't have to be him, he can rest assured for the time being.

But in this case, there is no one in the yard who has a good relationship with him, and he has no intention of taking the initiative to talk to others.

"Second Uncle!"

He found Fang Yin, but he didn't expect that he was still eating at this moment.

"Second uncle, you've been eating until now? Are you okay? Don't overeat and hurt your body."

Fang Yin waved his hand: "It's okay, I just took a break. Look, this is the barbecue that was just served. I asked, it's lamb! Try it, try it!"

Qin Yan took a look and it looked delicious, with greasy meat still steaming. However, he was not hungry. He had just had tea and some snacks. If he ate barbecue so soon, he would probably get indigestion today.

"Uncle, please eat. I can't eat anymore."

Fang Yin had a good appetite, and the aroma of barbecue was already making his mouth water.

The amount of meat on the plate was not very large, and it was only coated with a layer for presentation. He finished it in no time and felt quite unsatisfied.

I want to see if they will come up for the barbecue again.

Qin Yan also looked up. There was one, but it was at another table and the people hadn't left yet. It seemed ungentlemanly to just take the plate over.

No matter how much Fang Yin liked to eat, he knew that this was not a good thing to do, so he could only smack his lips and take a sip of the drink on the table.

"Ok?"

He touched his neck and felt something was wrong. Qin Yan didn't notice it at first, but only realized it when he saw him reaching into his collar.

"what happened?"

Fang Yin frowned: "Itchy and hot."

He suddenly felt very uncomfortable all over, scratching at his clothes, twisting and turning in his chair, as if he was in great discomfort.

"Is it very itchy?" Qin Yan looked at the area on his neck that was scratched red and asked hurriedly.

It seems like an allergy, but that shouldn't be the case, as my second uncle has eaten lamb before.

"hot!"

Fang Yin felt uncomfortable and his voice sounded a little aggrieved.

Qin Yan was sure that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from drinking water, and looked up to call the servant closest to him.

"Excuse me, my second uncle is feeling unwell. Could you please take us to an empty room and call a doctor? Oh, and please arrange for someone to help me keep an eye on the things on this table and don't let anyone touch them."

Upon hearing this, the servants quickly made arrangements.

Fang Yin was already feeling extremely uncomfortable: "It's so itchy! I want to take off my clothes, it's so hot!"

Qin Yan controlled the wheelchair and followed the servants, and tried to comfort him: "Second uncle, you can't take off your clothes. Be patient, the doctor will be here soon."

With so many students here, taking off clothes in public would probably become a laughing stock in Huai'an.

Fang Yin was scratching his head and liver with itchy itches, as if many bugs were crawling on his body. Fortunately, the servants of the Lin family were efficient and found the nearest yard for them.

As soon as Fang Yin entered the room, he couldn't help it. He threw himself on the bed and rolled around, rubbing his body constantly. He also tore off his coat. He felt so itchy that he scratched his body and left a deep bloody mark.

Qin Yan quickly asked someone to fetch some water: "Uncle, you'll feel better if you soak in the water."

He also asked the servant for a towel to help wipe Fang Yin's body, hoping to relieve some of the itchiness.

Fang Yin was indeed a little better than before, but still felt very uncomfortable, but not to the point of being unbearable.

Several servants were coming in and out here. Lin Bosheng soon heard someone calling for a doctor. He immediately asked the servants what was going on. After learning the whole story, he called the court doctor and rushed to the guest room.

The court doctor was specially invited to prepare for any unexpected situations during the poetry gathering.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fang Yin in the wooden barrel, all red and swollen, and was shocked: "What happened? Take a look at him!"

Fang Yin couldn't help wanting to move, so someone helped hold his arm and the doctor took his pulse, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

Qin Yan and Lin Bosheng both looked at his expression and felt that something was not right, but did not say anything to disturb him.

The doctor observed other parts of Fang Yin's body and confirmed that the diagnosis in his mind was correct.

"Master Lin, this young master has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?!"

Lin Bosheng and Qin Yan spoke in unison, and subconsciously looked at each other, both seeing each other's ugly expressions.

"Doctor, what is the poison? Is it food poison or was it poisoned by someone?"

The doctor was checking Fang Yin's blood and other parts of his body at this time: "The poison must have been ingested. Is the food he ate still there?"

"It was on the table in the front yard. I asked the servants to watch over it before I came here. There was a plate of mutton, but they finished it all. They also drank the juice on the table."

Lin Bosheng's face was gloomy. He wanted to see who had the guts to tamper with the Lin family's territory! They really didn't take him seriously!

"Doctor, please detoxify me. No matter how much the consultation fee is, my Lin Mansion will cover it. Just tell me what herbs you need!"

The doctor is already working on it. The poison was discovered quickly and it's not a particularly strong one, so it's quite easy to treat.

After working for a quarter of an hour, Fang Yin lay on the bed. He felt less itchy and hot, but was replaced by another kind of discomfort and weakness.

"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"

Fang Yin shook his head listlessly: "Tired, sleepy..."

Although he didn't encounter any serious problems in the end, he was still very exhausted and was now completely exhausted.

The doctor just gave him some medicine and asked him to vomit out everything in his stomach.

This was what made him most uncomfortable.

Qin Yan's frown never relaxed: "Then you take a good rest here for a while. I'm going to go to the front and sort things out. Can you wait for a moment?"

Fang Yin could hardly open his eyes at this moment and nodded in a daze.

Lin Bosheng whispered, "Don't worry, I'll have someone watching at the door of the guest room and won't let anyone in casually."

The doctor also spoke: "You two gentlemen, please do whatever you want. I need to observe here for a while to make sure the patient is okay. Don't worry."

Only then did Qin Yan and Lin Bosheng leave the guest room together.

"I just had someone watching the door and not letting anyone leave for now. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Qin Yan naturally had countless thoughts and guesses in his mind from the time the incident happened until now, but he was very cautious and did not say them out loud.

"My second uncle has been in the front yard. We can find out what he ate and did once we investigate. Such a big thing cannot be let go, but we can't make random guesses either. Please ask Mr. Lin to help Qin find out."

The meaning was very clear. He believed that this matter had nothing to do with the people in the Lin Mansion, but was caused by another villain.

Lin Bosheng nodded.

The people in the front yard already knew that something seemed to have happened, but they didn't know what exactly happened. They were gathered together to guess. When Qin Yan and the others arrived, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Qin Yan walked over to where Fang Yin had just sat and pointed at the table. "The mutton is served on this plate, and the drink is on this. I also came along halfway, so I wonder what he had eaten before that."

Lin Bosheng nodded and ordered the servant beside him: "Take these two directly to the doctor to see which one is the problem. Someone else, take away all the plates on the table that have been moved."

The servants hurried to work and came back soon.

"Master, the doctor said the juice is fine, and the other dishes are fine too. The problem is the plate of roast lamb. Although the meat is gone, some of it is stained with white powder on the plate. Someone must have deliberately poisoned it."

It's really poison!

His suspicions were confirmed, and knowing someone was causing trouble, Lin Bosheng was furious, but he managed to hold back his temper: "Go, find out who brought this plate of meat to the table, who cooked it, and bring everyone who touched it here!"

By now, the students present had understood what was going on—did someone have something wrong with their food? Or was it intentional poisoning? Where was that person? Could they have been poisoned to death?

For a moment, people couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but Lin Bosheng didn't intend to hide it or handle the matter in a low-key manner.

Everyone present today is a scholar. If we don't make things clear, who knows how it will be spread later.

He immediately raised his voice, "Everyone, don't be nervous. There's nothing wrong with today's food. The incident is just an isolated incident, most likely man-made. Of course, if anyone feels unwell after eating, they can ask a doctor to take a look!"

The people present were relatively sensible and were no longer nervous after hearing this. They also wanted to know what was going on and became quiet for a while.

Soon, all the people from the kitchen were brought up. There were seven or eight of them, including the person who served the food.

"Master, this is Zhao Dadong who is serving the dishes. The others are also people who have experienced barbecue. I asked them to come along."

Lin Bosheng sat in a chair and said, "Tell us one by one, which part you were responsible for and what you did. The more detailed the better. If anyone finds that someone else is hiding something, tell them and I will reward you handsomely!"

These people are all servants of the Lin family. From preparing food to cooking, there doesn't seem to be any problem in each step. But it can't be said that there are no problems. After all, no one can guarantee that others haven't taken action.

"Then tell me more about it. When you're cooking, do you have people other than the kitchen go over there? Is there anything different from usual? Think about it carefully."

The people in the kitchen looked at each other and shook their heads hesitantly. They were very busy in the kitchen and might not remember even if there was one.

Qin Yan looked at the waiter who was serving the dishes and asked, "Zhao Dadong, right? Was the meat for this table originally supposed to be delivered here? Did you come directly here after getting the meat? Did nothing happen on the way?"

Zhao Dadong thought carefully, "I fetched food from the kitchen, four plates at a time, including barbecue. The dishes I had were all for Young Master Qin's table, and I didn't make anything else on the way..."

He paused, then suddenly looked up: "Oh yeah, I met a few students on the way. They asked me a few questions, but nothing else happened!"

Lin Bosheng and Qin Yan's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other, and each of them had an idea.

Lin Bosheng immediately asked, "Do you remember who you met at that time?"

Zhao Dadong scratched his head and looked at the crowd.

No one noticed that Fang Jin in the crowd had been very nervous since these servants came over.

At this moment, he even wanted to hide in the middle so that no one could see him. It was too late for him to sneak somewhere else.

He suddenly spoke while no one was paying attention: "We were invited here, but the Lin family suspected us first. Is this how you treat guests?"

Some people suddenly felt that something was wrong. They stayed here to watch the fun, but if it involved them, then things would be different.

"Yeah, who would bring poison to a poetry reading?"

"Shouldn't we first suspect the servants of this other courtyard?"

"Isn't it a bad idea to doubt a scholar like this? There has to be some basis for it, otherwise what if you wrongly accuse someone?"

Once someone instigated the situation, those who were already somewhat dissatisfied immediately spoke up. Not everyone among these many people was sensible, and many people cared more about their own reputation.

He even said something like "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated."

Lin Bosheng sneered when he saw that their expressions changed in just a short while.

Are you kidding me? Then these people have the wrong guy. He doesn't fall for nerdy things. Don't underestimate this famous playboy!

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Yan beside him suddenly touched him calmly, making him swallow back what he was about to say.

Others couldn't recognize it, but he and Fang Jin were from the same village. Ever since his father married into the family, he had dealt with Fang Jin countless times, and he could almost recognize who he was as soon as he opened his mouth.

It's just that at this moment, everyone is talking at once, and it's useless to point out such things as incitement.

"Everyone, Master Lin is only discussing the matter at hand. It's just that the matter is of great importance and he's a little anxious. Why don't we all take a step back? We just want to know what happened at that time. I think those who encountered this servant before will surely come forward voluntarily, right?"

"Nothing else, I just want to tell you if you've encountered anything strange, so that no one else will be implicated."

Qin Yan had said so much, so naturally, it was difficult for others to say anything. People were asking about the people who met the servant at that time.

They looked at each other, hoping that the people at that time would stand up on their own and not delay them.

Immediately, two people stood up, one tall and one short.

“I was there.”

"Yes, and me too. There are three of us, and... him!"

As the short student spoke, his eyes swept through the crowd behind him, and finally his finger fell on the person at the back of the crowd!

Everyone looked back together. Fang Jin had nowhere to hide under everyone's gaze and could only bite the bullet and take a few steps forward.

"Yes, we are together."

Qin Yan sat in a wheelchair, looked at Fang Jin and sneered.
