The carriage fell silent, and all the smiles disappeared.
Who would have thought that there was no one who stopped him halfway, but Fang Yuan came to the gate of Gongyuan, picked out Xu Mo's illness, and even prepared a doctor.
"Does he want to expose his eldest brother for pretending to be ill and ruin his reputation?" Zheng Ruqian guessed, but quickly denied it.
In the turmoil between the Fang family and Xu Mo, Xu Mo is the weak one, and weak people are always sympathized with. Even if they pretend to be sick and are a little damaged, everyone can understand.
On the other hand, if Fang Yuan is too aggressive, he will only lose the courage of the noble family.
"Or poisoning the elder brother by seeing a doctor?" Jiang Sheng's eyes widened, "Even if the elder brother runs away, it is enough to destroy the experiment."
Several people suddenly became nervous, especially Wen Zhiyun, who took out several packets of small powder from his arms.
"Don't worry." Xu Mo comforted his younger brothers and sisters, and did not forget to reply loudly, "Young Master Fang is interested. Everything is fine with Xu Mo."
The people outside smiled and said, "Since Mr. Xu is fine, I'll see you at the examination hall."
He cupped his hands and left just like that.
He did not provoke Xu Mo to pretend to be ill, nor did he poison him through consultation, nor was he even aggressive, showing the noble family's magnanimity to the fullest.
Then why did he have to come over and say hello.
Chang Yan pursed his lips and realized, "He is here to tell other students that there is a big brother sitting in this carriage."
There was no scheming in private, but it was pointed out openly.
This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy!
Seeing that others still didn't understand, Chang Yan emphasized, "In this carriage, sits Xu Mo."
And Xu Mo was the one who sued the Jinluan Palace, causing all the students to retake the exam and take the joint examination again.
Although close friends such as Qi Huai'an Jun and others have no objections, can other candidates really not complain or hold grudges?
No matter who it is, as long as they stretch out their hands to stumble Xu Mo, the Fang family will be able to take advantage of them and enjoy the benefits.
It’s really a brilliant plan!
"Then what should we do?" Jiang Sheng's voice trembled, "We can still protect our eldest brother outside, but when we enter the Gongyuan, we really can't help even if we want to."
There is no need to have many students who hold grudges, just three or two are enough.
It doesn't take too much plotting and trickery to knock him down or deliberately damage the pen and ink, it's enough for Xu Mo to drink from a pot.
The key is that it is impossible to guard against it. There are thousands of students, who knows which one will take action, and who knows which one will add insult to injury.
Xu Mo lowered his eyelashes, wondering what he was thinking.
Others were panicked but couldn't do anything.
"Can we just sit back and wait for death, allowing the Fang family to use their evil schemes?" Zheng Ruqian thought in disbelief, "It's impossible. There is no seamless robe in this world, let alone an absolute strategy."
They have overcome so many difficulties along the way, how could they fall into the hands of mere conspiracy.
"Xiaowu, you are the smartest, what can you do?" Wen Zhiyun looked for the last hope with red eyes.
Chang Yan sighed, "If you have enough connections, you can find the Yin of Fengtian Prefecture and ask him to send two government officials to protect my eldest brother."
But they don't have this connection.
Even if there was, Yin Shang of Fengtian Prefecture did not even dare to declare the Fang family guilty of fraud, so how could he dare to openly oppose the Fang family.
This is a city full of power, and hierarchy has long been engraved in the bones. Ordinary students can either cling to the big tree or become a stepping stone.
If Xu Mo hadn't had Jiang Sheng as his sister, the Jiang family's support, and Dou Shangshu's appreciation, he might not have been able to reach this point.
"Then go to the Jiang family and the Dou family now, okay?" Zheng Ruqian was impatient and was about to get up at that moment, "Qi Huai should be here too, I'll go find them for help."
But before he could stand up, he was stopped by Xu Mo.
"Useless second brother." Chang Yan shook his head, "The old lady of the Jiang family can speak well, but she won't appear here. There is not enough time to rush to the Jiang family."
"Although Qi Huai is the direct son of Shangshu, he cannot represent Shangshu Qi. What's more, Shangshu Qi is also afraid of the Fang family. Shangshu Dou has some say, but I don't know whether he is coming."
"Even if thousands of people come, how long will it take for you to find them?"
The examination is imminent, and the government officials are already standing at the gate of Gongyuan. We just have to wait for the door to open on time so that we can carry out identity checks.
During this time of breathing, no one could be found and no one could help.
"That's all." Xu Mo sighed, "I just have to be careful after I go to the Tribute Courtyard."
But if you are more careful, you can avoid deliberate calculations.
The brothers were silent. Wen Zhiyun, the most timid and timid one, was already in tears. He was holding two packets of poison in his little hands and hesitated to speak.
At this quiet moment, the unusually taciturn Jiang Sheng stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Mo asked warmly, "But if you are thirsty or hungry, why don't you go out?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and said nothing.
She thought about the man who called himself father yesterday, thought about the knife hanging on his waist, and thought about the peace in the small courtyard these days, and she always felt that there was something related to it.
If he really came from the Jiang family, and really had that identity, he should still be there now, and he should be able to help.
The door will open at any time, Jiang Sheng can't wait, and doesn't dare to wait.
Under the puzzled gazes of her brothers, she jumped out of the carriage and unexpectedly saw a tall man with his hands clasped in front of him.
It turned out that he was really there, just in front of the carriage, watching silently.
When acquaintances pass by, they must salute respectfully and shout, "You are back."
The man just waved his hand to keep quiet.
Who would have thought that this was a general who had been fighting on the battlefield for twenty years.
Jiang Sheng pursed his lips, still rehearsing how to plead in his heart.
The guard next to the man had already poked him, leaned over and said, "The girl is coming out, right behind you."
Jiang Jizu turned around suddenly and saw that the little girl's face was full of hesitation, and the corners of her mouth covered by her beard raised, "Why did you come out? Didn't you stay in the carriage to keep warm?"
The tone was extremely natural, as if they were familiar with each other.
But this is obviously just the second side.
Jiang Sheng was a little unconvinced, glanced at the Gongyuan gate that was about to be pushed open, and muttered, "Can I ask you a favor?"
After saying that, he showed a flattering smile.
She is obviously the one who deserves to be pleased.
The corners of Jiang Jizu's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his voice, "Tell me what's going on."
"Can you please ask Fengtian Prefecture Yin to send two government officials to protect my eldest brother? He is going to the Tribute Court, and we can't protect him." The little girl Chen Chen said, "I will thank you, I will give you cakes, and I still have Two plates of lychee ice, I’ll share one with you and give you money.”
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and her confidence was almost gone.
Who would help a stranger out of nowhere? Even she was worse than a stranger. She was someone they didn't want.
Jiang Sheng lowered his head, and the last hope in his heart was extinguished.
Just when she was about to turn around, the man finally stretched out his hand, stroked her shapely balls, and said with a smile, "Okay."
