"Aren't you afraid of that Fan Yilin?" Du Bai asked curiously.

He really didn't realize that these two people had such amazing courage, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of the label he had labeled them with his first impression.

"We..." The Lu brothers looked at each other and shook their heads, "Of course we are afraid that Deputy Envoy Fan will still tremble! But we two brothers are following Brother Xu, and we will follow Brother Xu wherever we go! If Brother Xu really decides to help you, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!"

These words made Du Baigao look at them. Although they are all followers, they can do this to really regard Xu Zhiyan as his elder brother and are willing to take risks.

But it was just the two of them. If they really wanted to meet, it would probably not be of much use. However, in this case, they still agreed to provide help, which is a perfect end to be kind and righteous.

Now this originally happy banquet suddenly turned into this, and there is no need to continue.

When he returned, he left the noisy and prosperous place and sat in the sedan chair, Du Bai naturally asked Xu Zhiyan curiously about what Fan Yilin said.

"If the Deputy Envoy Fan was just himself, there was no need to worry. However, his father was deeply trusted by the emperor and his official position was not low..."

Xu Zhiyan said earnestly. Although he did not explain it in detail, he knew that neither of them was stupid, so he should have understood it when it came to this.

He naturally wanted to persuade him, after all, the Su family's chances of winning were so slim on the surface. However, looking at Du Bai's appearance, he could probably understand that the contradictions here were irreconcilable, so he didn't continue to say more.

After thinking about it, I felt that Brother Du had mysterious help from ghosts and gods, and was a truly miraculous person, and he might not necessarily fail. In contrast, although the Fan family is powerful, he is just a mortal. If he gets into such an enemy, he may have a lot of headaches.

Du Bai nodded slightly, thinking.

"I have gained the trust of the emperor and my official position is not low..." These words obviously contain a lot of information. No wonder even Xu Zhiyan, who has the background of Mr. Xu, thinks that the other party is not easy to provoke.

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

"But if the other party continues to let the porcelain from the official kiln suppress the porcelain business and make the Su family's business unable to continue, it may be a big problem."

This is exactly what Du Bai means.

"As long as the other party doesn't use any despicable means, I will not be afraid."

Xu Zhiyan didn't expect that he would be so confident. He couldn't help but think of going elsewhere. He hesitated and asked: "Could Brother Du want to borrow the means of ghosts and gods..."

"This...maybe it can be considered." Du Bai thought for a while and smiled.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and began to feel a little more sympathetic to the Deputy Envoy Fan, who was still unknown, and blamed him for finding the wrong target. He probably won't have a good end in the future.

...

The matter about the Su family's settlement in the Fucheng City was decided, because it was just a small family from a remote area. Although it attracted some people's attention due to Xu Zhiyan, there was not much storm in fact.

It’s like every day there are countless people coming and going in Lin'an, either losing their family property or accumulating strength. But before they really make some of their own names, their names can’t even splash a little in Lin'an, the majestic river.

In contrast, the upcoming home trial is more touching.

The real exam time is very close, and it will be about seven days later.

It seems that there is still a lot of time, but in fact it is just a snap of your fingers. Even every hour passes, it makes people feel that the urgency in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger, and they are prone to anxiety.

At this time, scholars and candidates who rushed over from all directions began to move in groups, either familiarizing themselves with their feelings or discussing their opinions on the articles. The air in the streets and alleys seemed to be filled with a faint smell of ink. Most of the literati and poets had already started to talk about such things in restaurants and teahouses.

What I mentioned is nothing more than a more prominent genius prodigy this year, or which official the examiner will be this year, and which aspect of the test questions will be.

This kind of thing that is actually similar every year always causes a warm reaction, and people always enjoy discussing these things.

Some candidates who are about to face the exam know that if they follow the conventional methods, they have no hope of this imperial examination, so they start to dig into the ideas of the questioner, recite some answers in a cramming manner, praying for luck to get the right questions.

In this environment, the Su family is preparing everywhere for the upcoming opening, and there are no candidates who want to take the exam, so naturally they don’t pay much attention to this.

If the only one who has something to do with him may be Sheng Yunting, who officially plans to take the imperial examinations, who is in charge of the official career.

However, this kid failed the county examination and could not participate in the government examination this year. This is mainly because the Nishan Academy where he entered the school is a very famous academy, and he has produced many scholars and Jinshi, etc., and even had a top scholar. He knew that to defeat thousands of troops and stand out, the urgency of self-supervision is very important.

So when you really encounter this kind of imperial examination, it is also a routine for them to experience the atmosphere in advance for future generations.

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

"Brother Du, it's too difficult to study in this academy. Not only are the morning class but also the evening class. If you can't answer the questions, you will be thrust by the palm of your hand. There is no time to breathe! Even if I dream of shaking my head to recite the book at night, I'm almost crazy!"

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

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

"This... cannot be said to be regretful. After all, I proposed it myself. I want to get the exam." Sheng Yunting sighed and reached out to touch the little spider lying on his sleeve. "It's just that I don't even have time to walk with her, and I'm just a little worried."
