"Aren't you afraid of that Fan Yilin?" Du Bai asked with some curiosity.

He really didn't see that these two people had such amazing courage, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of the label he had put on them based on his first impression.

"We ......" The Lu brothers glanced at each other and shook their heads, "Of course we are afraid of that Deputy Envoy Fan, and his legs are still trembling!" But our brothers are mixed up with Brother Xu, and we will follow Brother Xu wherever he goes! If Brother Xu really decides to help you, I will have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman! ”

These words made Du Baigao glance at them, although they were all followers, but they were able to do this part, obviously they really regarded Xu Zhiyan as their eldest brother and were willing to take risks.

But it's just the two of them, and if you really want to face each other, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. However, they still agreed to help in this situation, which can be regarded as benevolent.

Now this originally joyful banquet has suddenly become like this, and there is no need to continue.

When he went back, he left the noisy and bustling place, and when he was sitting in the sedan chair, Du Bai naturally asked Xu Zhiyan curiously about the so-called situation of Fan Yilin.

"If that Deputy Envoy Fan is just himself, he naturally doesn't have to worry. However, his father won the trust of the emperor, and his official position was not low......"

Xu Zhiyan said with some seriousness, although he didn't explain it in too much detail, but he knew that both sides were not stupid people, and he should have understood when it came to this.

He naturally wanted to persuade him, after all, if the Su family faced Fan Yilin, on the surface, the odds of victory were so slim. However, looking at Du Bai's appearance, he can roughly understand that the contradictions in this are irreconcilable, so he did not continue to say more.

After thinking about it, I felt that Brother Du had the help of mysterious ghosts and gods, and he was a real supernatural person, and he might not necessarily fail. In contrast, although the Fan family is powerful, they are just mortals, and I am afraid that it will be a lot more headache to provoke this kind of enemy.

Du Bai nodded slightly, thoughtful.

The words "won the trust of the emperor and the official position is not low......" obviously contains a lot of information. It's no wonder that even Xu Zhiyan, who has the background of Xu Lao, feels that the other party is not easy to provoke.

At this time, Xu Zhiyan continued, as if relieved: "But Brother Du doesn't have to worry about the pressure on the official side, I will come forward to check and balance, I believe that with my uncle's affection and connections, the other party at least does not dare to deal with your Su family on the bright side." ”

"But if the other party continues to let the porcelain of the official kiln suppress the porcelain business, so that the Su family's business cannot continue, I am afraid it will also be a big problem."

This is exactly what Du Bai meant.

"As long as the other party doesn't come up with any indiscriminate means, I won't be afraid."

Xu Zhiyan didn't expect him to be so confident, he couldn't help but think of going elsewhere, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Brother Du wants to borrow the means of ghosts and gods......"

"This ...... Maybe it can be so. Du Bai thought about it and said with a smile.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and began to feel a little more sympathetic to Deputy Envoy Fan, who still didn't know the situation, and blamed the other party for finding the wrong target, and I am afraid that there will be no good end in the future.

……

The matter about the Su family's settlement in Fucheng was decided in this way, because it was just a small family from a remote area, although it had attracted the attention of some people because of Xu Zhiyan, but in fact there was not much turmoil.

It's as if countless people come and go in Lin'an every day, either losing their family property or accumulating a lot of money, but before they really break out of their own fame, their names can't even splash in the majestic river of Lin'an.

In contrast, it is the upcoming government test that is more touching.

It's very close to the actual start of the exam, about seven days later.

It may seem like there's a lot of time, but it's actually just a snap of a finger. Even if every hour passes, people will feel a stronger sense of urgency in their hearts, and they will be easily restless.

At this time, the scholars and candidates who rushed from all over the world began to move in groups, or to get acquainted with their feelings, or to discuss their opinions on the article, and the air in the streets and alleys seemed to be filled with a faint smell of books and ink. There are also some literati who have mostly begun to talk about such things in the restaurant and teahouse.

What is said is nothing more than which genius prodigy is more prominent this year, or which official will be the examiner this year, and which side of the test questions should be biased.

This kind of thing, which is actually similar every year, has always elicit an enthusiastic response, and people are always happy to talk about it.

And some candidates who are about to face the examination know that they have no hope of taking the imperial examination according to the conventional means, so they begin to dig out their minds to ponder the thoughts of the questioners, temporarily reciting some answers, praying for luck to get the exam questions right.

In this environment, the Su family is making preparations for the upcoming opening, and there are no candidates to take the exam, so naturally they don't pay much attention to this aspect.

If the only thing that has anything to do with it may be Sheng Yunting, who officially plans to embark on a career to participate in the imperial examination.

However, this kid didn't pass the county exam, and he couldn't participate in the government exam this year, mainly because the Nishan Academy he studied in was a very famous academy, and there were a lot of people and scholars, etc., and even had a champion, knowing that in order to defeat thousands of troops and stand out, the sense of urgency of self-supervision is very important.

Therefore, when this kind of imperial examination is really encountered, it is also a practice to let them, the younger generations, feel the atmosphere in advance.

At this moment, when Du Bai was helping to decorate the rented shop, Sheng Yunting was complaining weakly beside him.

"Brother Du, it's too difficult to study in this academy. Not only morning class but also evening class, if you can't answer the question, you have to be beaten by the ring ruler, and there is no time to breathe! Even I dreamed at night that I was shaking my head and endorsing it, and I was going crazy! ”

He rubbed his face vigorously, but he still looked as if his body had been hollowed out, and he was deeply depressed.

"Then do you regret going to that academy?" Du Bai looked at him with some amusement.

"This ...... I can't say that I regret it, after all, I proposed it myself, and I want to get results. Sheng Yunting sighed, stretched out his hand and touched the little spider lying on his sleeve, "It's just that I don't even have time left to walk with her, and I'm just a little troubled." ”
