Chapter Nine: Cruel and merciless
"Brother, I..."
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but those who achieve great things always have to make sacrifices. That is what Zhang Xiaofan is destined to do. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to concentrate on your exams." Shen Niannian's eyes were cold and she looked at him firmly.
If he hadn't known that Shen Niannian almost killed someone today, and based on his cold attitude, Nan Jiangnan would have thought that he had killed a chicken or an insect.
Nan Jiangnan glanced at him.
In the original work, Shen Niannian is vicious and vicious. After he reaches adulthood, Shen Niannian becomes the prime minister. He will do whatever it takes to climb up the ladder. Everyone can be a stumbling block for him.
He does everything possible in the court, and even loyal ministers will be eliminated as long as they deviate from his ideas.
She remembered that in the original work, an old minister from three dynasties worked hard all his life, hoping to bring a Haiyanheqing to the world. However, he was framed by Shen Niannian and his entire family was executed. The old man’s head was still hanging on the tower, and his body was even worse. He was eaten by wild dogs, declared dead in eighty years, and cast aside by future generations.
Shen Niannian only has himself in his heart. Even when the original owner was still alive, before he went to school, he often teased the original owner at home and ridiculed the original owner every day for being ugly and poor. He was abandoned by the Nan family and was shamed by the whole village. If He would definitely not be able to survive without them. It was their great kindness, and the original owner should be grateful to him.
Enduring the nausea in his heart, Nan Jiangnan returned to the house.
If given the chance, she would definitely end Shen Niannian's journey to court.
People like him are not worthy of being an official at all.
Zhang family.
Zhang Xiaofan finally limped into the house. Seeing Zhang Xiaofan covered with injuries, Mrs. Chen was so shocked that she dropped everything in her hands. Tears instantly burst out of her eyes and she rushed towards him: "Xiaofan! My Xiaofan, you, you What's going on here!"
"Mom, I'm fine." Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand to wipe Chen's tears, "Mom, could you please not tell anyone about my injury?"
"You..." Mrs. Chen was a little confused, but she didn't dare to force him, so she nodded.
The next day, Nan Jiangnan took some special wound medicine from the space and went to Zhang's house.
The Shen and Zhang families had never had any contact with each other. Seeing Nan Jiangnan come to the door, Chen was confused: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and look at Brother Zhang's legs."
"You, you know how to heal?" Mrs. Chen couldn't believe it. Behind him, Zhang Xiaofan walked out: "Auntie, Aunt Nan healed my injury yesterday."
After a pause, Mrs. Chen immediately stepped forward to thank Nan Jiangnan: "Sister, I didn't expect it. I'm sorry for neglecting you. Come in and sit down quickly."
"Sister-in-law Chen, you are so polite. I feel ashamed to say that it was my two naughty children who harmed Xiaofan..."
Nan Jiangnan briefly talked about the scene that day. She was so frightened that Mrs. Chen couldn't help but tremble with her hands and turned pale. She picked up the kitchen knife and wanted to rush over and kill people: "Damn it, my Xiaofan didn't provoke them. They actually did such a dirty trick!"
"mother!"
"Sister-in-law Chen!" Nan Jiangnan quickly stopped her, "Don't worry, I will definitely teach them a lesson, but not now."
"You..." Mrs. Chen didn't believe it, Zhang Xiaofan defended from the side: "I believe Aunt Nan!"
After looking at the children beside her, Ms. Chen finally nodded, barely believing it.
Nan Jiangnan entered the room and looked at Brother Zhang's legs.
Brother Zhang's leg is an old injury, and I'm afraid he has broken bones and will need surgery.
Nan Jiangnan did not have surgical instruments at his disposal, so he could only temporarily use medicine to relieve his pain.
When Nan Jiangnan left, Mrs. Chen thanked him in various ways and sent him away.
When he returned, Nan Jiangnan used the [Positioning] function of the space to find that a few naughty kids went to the Wenfang Sibao store and sold many candles.
On the way back, Shen was still a little dazed today. Shen hated that iron could not become steel every year.
"Since you can't pass the exam, why don't you just forget it?"
"I..." Facing Shen Niannian's sudden severity, Shen Jinjin was so frightened that his shoulders trembled.
"Today, something has been done. There is no other way. We can only look forward!" Shen Niannian gritted his teeth and grabbed Shen Jinjin's shoulders. "Don't worry, big brother will protect you. Big brother promises you!"
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment and finally nodded.
He has to trust his elder brother, who will protect him.
Shen Niannian looked at him with satisfaction: "Don't worry, big brother will definitely let you pass the exam!"
For the past few days, Shen Jin has been in a daze. It is difficult to stay alive, let alone reviewing.
But Shen Niannian is so sure...
Are they going to cheat?
Three days later, the day of the written test.
Shen Jinjin brought a brand new pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the school, and was surrounded by his brothers and sisters like stars. When he saw Zhang Xiaofan in the crowd, who was shrinking his neck, Shen Jinjin was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his face turned pale and trembling. The kid is actually not dead? Then will he tell nonsense?
"Brother..." Shen Tian anxiously grabbed the corner of Shen Niannian's clothes. After all, he had never seen him on the market. Seeing him like this, Shen Niannian raised his eyes and stared at him: "Why are you panic? Even if he said it, some people would believe it. Really? And he hasn’t made any noise recently, so he’s probably scared.”
A few days ago, they burned all the clothes from that day and threw them into the mountains.
After taking a shot in the arm, Shen managed to relax his mind today. Shen hated iron every year and warned in a low voice: "You must know what is most critical now."
Shen Jinjin blinked, glanced at the candlestick in his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Brother, don't worry!"
Before the exam, the private school conducted a special inspection to see if they had any cheat sheets on them. During the inspection, Shen Jin was unusually protective of the candlestick in his hand. His strange attitude aroused Nan Jiangnan's suspicion.
Is there a ghost in this candlestick?
"Erlang." Nan Jiangnan suddenly walked up with a smile, which scared Shen Jinjin and immediately stared at her alertly: "You, what are you going to do?"
"If you don't do anything bad, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, why are Erlang so excited?" Nan Jiangnan smiled at him and reached out to grab the candlestick in his hand, "The dragon carving on this candle is really exquisite."
Seeing her like this, Shen Jinjin felt as if he was offended. He was afraid that she would find out his secret, so Shen Jinjin immediately took the candlestick back.
Although he didn't look carefully, Nan Jiangnan still saw a scratch on the candle under where the dragon climbed, and the weight of the candle was obviously not right.
Nan Jiangnan remained silent, quickly took some sugar from the space, and left it on the candle.
Seeing that the candle was not damaged today, Shen did not bother to do other checks and entered the examination room holding the candle.
"A few naughty kids can do it."
"In order to pass the exam, I not only bullied others, but now I even tricked myself into cheating."
Since they wanted to die so much, she didn't mind giving them a ride.
Thinking about this, Nan Jiangnan used the mousetrap in the nearby abandoned warehouse to catch two mice and put them in through the small hole in the wall of the backyard of the private school.
Rats like to eat wax, and the candle is stained with sugar, which is a fatal temptation for rats.
After doing this, Nan Jiangnan waited happily.
