Zhao Shen came back early this time, seeing that the two of them were still working hard, he ordered the little girl to go in and get some new tea and refreshments.

Seeing that the dim sum he bought this time was salty, Xiang Yuan didn't like it, and because he used more for lunch, he didn't have much appetite at the moment, so he gave Lin Hong all the dim sum.Lin Hong really liked this kind of salty shortbread. He ate all four of the small shortbread at once.

Outside, the little girl finished adding tea and snacks, wiped her hands, and found Zhao Shen, expecting Ai Ai to say that the old man at home was sick, so she hurriedly asked her to go back to take care of her, and asked if she could leave in the afternoon.

Seeing that the little girl's eyes were slightly red, Zhao Shen seemed to be in a hurry, so he paid her off and let her go.

Unexpectedly, after dinner in the evening, a clerk hurriedly came to the inn where Lin Hong was staying, and brought a shocking news.

Lin Hong is sick!

Said that after returning from him, he had a stomachache and was about to collapse at this moment, so he didn't forget to send someone to inform Xiang Yuan.

Zhao Shen turned his head to look at Xiang Yuan, saw that he had the same ugly face as himself, so he gave a dime to the man who came to report the news, and told him to take good care of Lin Hong.

"It seems that he got sick because he used something in our place. It's the plate of dim sum! I didn't touch any of them. Lin Hong has suffered for me!"

Zhao Shen's complexion changed, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "It's that little girl!"

Xiang Yuan's face was gloomy, and his chest was full of anger.

"Using such dirty methods, you are in vain as a scholar!"

"It's not too late. I'll go out and find someone to find this little girl."

Zhao Shen felt guilty in his heart, if he was not busy with the business of the shop, he would not have invited such a cunning person to take care of the meals.Thinking that if Xiang Congzi also used that snack today, he would definitely fall ill, and he would definitely not be able to take the township examination tomorrow, and if he failed this year, he would have to wait another three years, wasting three years in vain!Think about it and get scared.

Xiang Yuan will be very calm.

"Do our best. Let's come to Nanling alone. After all, we are alone. If we can't find it, we will leave it for now. Everything will be calculated after we have tried it. I will go to the inn to see Lin Hong, and I will hire another doctor for him. .”

Saying that, he shook Zhao Shen's hand tightly.

"Remember, your own safety is the most important thing, don't worry me!"

Looking into Xiang Yuan's serious eyes, Zhao Shen nodded with a sore nose.

"I know, don't worry."

The husband and wife act separately.Zhao Shen called for shop assistants, and four or five of them rushed to Yaren's place.Xiang Yuan went to the inn alone, and invited a doctor on the way. When he arrived at Lin Hong's place, the moon was out.

In just half a day, Lin Hong seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his face was sallow, his lips were peeling, and he was weak.

The doctor Xiang Yuan invited took a pulse, and asked what medicine he had taken, and said: "The medicine that this scholar took is right for the disease, but it will take some work to recover, and the old man will not prescribe the medicine. The scholar You should drink plenty of water, otherwise you will faint due to lack of water in your body."

After sending the doctor away, Xiang Yuan personally boiled hot water for Lin Hong in case he was thirsty at night.

"Didn't Zhang Xiulin live in the same inn with you? Why didn't you see him?"

Lin Hong smiled weakly.

"I checked out of the house a few days ago and moved elsewhere."

Seeing that Lin Hong didn't want to say more, Xiang Yuan also stopped talking.Xiang Yuan felt very guilty that Lin Hong suffered an innocent disaster for him this time, and that he couldn't take the provincial examination.

"You don't have to be like this, the so-called time is fate. It just so happens that I am not sure that I will do well in the exam this time, so I might as well wait another three years."

Xiang Yuan knew Lin Hong's character well, half of what he said was because he was really unsure about the rural examination, and the other half was obviously to reassure himself.

Lin Bozhi is honest and simple-minded, Xiang Yuan has always had a good impression of him, and he feels even more guilty about this incident.

When they returned to the rented house, Zhao Shen hadn't come back yet.Xiang Yuan poured cold tea and took a sip, facing the candlelight with deep eyes.

Some people didn't want him to enter the examination room, so he just didn't want them.Not only that, but he also has to use his best abilities, do his best, hit one fell swoop, and vent his anger!

At the climax of the moon, Zhao Shen came back.

The little girl has been found, and she is being guarded in Zhao Shen's new shop.Except for the four guys involved, no one knows about it.

"Early tomorrow morning, when I enter the examination room, you send me to the government office. Remember, make as much publicity as you can, and send it with great fanfare."

After speaking, he leaned closer to Zhao Shen and whispered something in Zhao Shen's ear.

Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, a strange look slowly appeared in his eyes, and he nodded fiercely. "I understand!" After a pause, he added, "I'll send you into the examination room."

Xiang Yuan looked at him.

Zhao Shen straightened the corners of his mouth.

"I heard from a buddy that in the last rural exam, someone specially hired idlers to block the road. Once they got entangled, they couldn't get away, let alone enter the exam room."

In fact, this incident was not told by the buddy, but after the incident of drugging, Zhao Shen suddenly remembered that in the previous life this year's provincial examination, there was a real incident of rogues blocking people in the street.That incident was a big deal back then, and it is said that the person who was stopped was a well-known scholar. After the township examination, the prefect of Nanling rectified the law and order in the prefecture.

Xiang Yuan's expression froze, and he didn't want Zhao Shen to follow him.

But Zhao Shen made up his mind, turned his head and spread out the mattress, and said to himself: "I have already hired four thugs to follow, so don't worry. Anyway, I will definitely follow you."

Xiang Yuan's heart warmed, he stepped forward and gently hugged Zhao Shenjin's thin waist.

"It is my great fortune to have Jin Yan."

Zhao Shen was very unaccustomed to Xiang Yuan speaking so politely and seriously, while trying to break away uncomfortably, he said dryly with red ears:

"What nonsense, hurry to sleep."

"Jin Yan is in such a hurry, then I dare not disobey!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, this Xiang Congzi would revert to his old ways, wanting to hug and hug, and pouting his mouth for kissing, greasy and crooked.Zhao Shen didn't dare to quarrel with him, tomorrow is the first day of the township examination, a big day!

After finally sending Xiang Congzi to sleep, Zhao Shen himself was so tired that he fell asleep on the pillow.

Xiang Yuan closed his eyes and listened to the sound from the other side, and when he heard Zhao Shen's breathing gradually became steady, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After making a fuss, the daughter-in-law no longer bothers about Lin Hong not being able to pass the provincial examination because of her own negligence, and causing him a false alarm, feeling guilty and uneasy.Get a good night's sleep tonight.

On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Xiang Yuan was ready. The basket he carried was filled with food, pens, ink, paper and inkstone. The appearance of the flower protector followed closely.

Out of the gate, the four thugs hired with money were even more uniform, dressed in bunts, carrying wooden sticks, and arrogant. Those who didn't know probably thought that they were looking for someone to get upset, rather than going in. examination room.

Xiang Yuan also thought that Zhao Shen had made a fuss over a molehill, but he ended up in Sparta halfway through the journey.

Damn, someone really came to rob the road!

Five or six ragged, unkempt rascals loitered in the middle of the street, laughing and teasing everyone who passed by.But Xiang Yuan could see clearly, since they appeared, these scoundrels slowly began to surround them like sharks seeing blood.And the passers-by on the street, no matter whether they were scholars who were rushing for the exam or people in business, not only did no one lend a hand to help, but they quickly hid when they saw that the scoundrels did not provoke them.

Zhao Shenying's angry face was dissatisfied with evil spirit at this moment, he clenched the stick tightly in his hand, his voice was as cold as ice.

"It's really such a shame!"

The person behind the scenes made one move after another, with dirty methods, it's really disgusting!

Xiang Yuan tightened his hand holding the basket, his eyes were cloudy.

"It's just so promising, and it won't do much in the future. Jin Yan, ask the hired thugs to come forward, follow me, don't rush forward."

Zhao Shen glanced at him in surprise, and Xiang Yuan explained: "It's just such a few scoundrels, it's not worth your participation, and you don't have to lose your status. Follow me, let's go to the examination room."

Zhao Shen thought for a while, and knew that as his younger brother, it was really not suitable to mingle with these idlers in the street, so he signaled to the four thugs behind, and then followed Xiang Yuan, letting the thugs lead the way.

Those rascals thought it was an easy money-making business, and they planned to go to the best restaurant in Fuzhou to have a good meal and enjoy themselves after earning this money. The talented scholar, actually followed by four or five thugs!All of them are holding sticks in their hands, sticks with thick arms!

Ma Dan, is this desperate?

Seeing that the other party is a stubborn stubble, these idlers are scared.Money is good, but you have to have life flowers!I was beaten so hard that my face was full of flowers. Is the money I earned enough to buy medicine?

Zhao Shen looked at these idlers and rascals with embarrassing expressions and shrank back to the side without words, and shrank their heads to show that he was innocent, and he was even more angry from the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn't hired a thug this time, he and Chuzi would have been trapped in the siege of these scoundrels long ago and could not get out.And these rascals just laughed and went to get the money, no matter how important the things they delayed were to others.

Zhao Shen stared fiercely at the scoundrel who was huddled on the side of the road, then grabbed Xiang Yuan's arm that was not carrying the basket, and ran towards the examination room like a wind.

Xiang Yuan:········

Daughter-in-law, image, image!

Such a reincarnated way of catching up is really not good at all, his hairstyle, his elegant steps, and the hem of his clothes are flying up, revealing the white cotton pants inside!

Fortunately, when approaching the examination room, Zhao Shen finally let go of Xiang Yuan when he saw the crowds of people ahead.

After straightening his clothes and stroking his hair, Xiang Yuan found out sadly that his hairstyle was messed up!

"Don't worry about it. When you enter the examination room in a while, you will have to untie your hair for inspection."

How does the daughter-in-law know so clearly? !

Zhao Shen felt a little funny in his heart.He found that Congzi paid great attention to his image, and always dressed well to the outside world.But he just likes to break Congzi's calmness, seeing him showing helplessness and pampering even though he is not used to it, Zhao Shen feels very good.

However, he also pays great attention to proportion.At this time, although Xiang Yuan's hairstyle was not as neat as when he got up early, he still stood at attention, with a handsome and resolute face, and a slender figure, standing among the talented people, he stood out from the crowd.
