Chapter 492: Escape
Shen Qingyun looked at Shen Zhixuan in surprise.
Willing?
How could he be willing?
But what if I’m unwilling?
It was destined that the Shen family would suffer this disaster, and there was no escape.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyun sighed and looked at Shen Zhixuan earnestly, "Zhixuan, our Shen family will rely on you in the future.
You should study hard now, and when you have the opportunity, go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations."
This is the only way out for the Shen family now.
Moreover, Zhixuan has a talent for studying, and he believes that as long as he is given the opportunity, Zhixuan will definitely be able to pass the exam.
Now, all we can do is wait for the opportunity.
Shen Zhixuan sneered and shook his head:
"Dad, how come you are more naive than me?
Are you sure we still have a chance to take the imperial examination?
Those who were exiled are not allowed to take imperial examinations within three generations. The Shen family wants to take imperial examinations to turn their fate around and have my grandchildren.
Are you sure that when I have a grandson, the Shen family will still be the same Shen family as it is now?
Are you sure the Shen family still had money to support their children's education at that time?"
Therefore, the path of studying is no longer feasible, and he has prepared other paths.
A calculation flashed across Shen Zhixuan's eyes.
Shen Qingyun's face turned pale and his expression became even uglier.
He pursed his lips. A few decades later, the Shen family would probably be no different from the villagers in the nearby Beijia Village.
If you worry about three meals a day, how can you have money to send your children and grandchildren to school?
"So, Dad, you'd better give up your unrealistic fantasy." Shen Zhixuan sneered:
"I've had enough of the life I've lived!"
He will definitely lead the Shen family to the top again.
Shen Qingyun was depressed, as if he had aged twenty years, and he couldn't muster any energy.
"The Shen family will rely on you from now on, so you can do whatever you want.
Just don’t get the Shen family involved!
Before you do anything, look at what happened to the Han family next door. I have nothing else to say!"
Shen Qingyun sighed deeply and walked outside tiredly.
Shen Zhixuan looked at his slightly old figure and pursed his lips:
"Dad, don't worry, I will revive the Shen family. Just wait."
Shen Qingyun didn't look back, but just raised his hand and shook it weakly.
He knew Shen Zhixuan was taking a risk, but he didn't ask or stop him.
Because it's useless.
Zhixuan has had his own ideas since he was a child. Once he makes up his mind, he will not change it no matter how much he persuades him.
What's more, if the Shen family wants to change, they have to take risks.
What if it succeeds?
Maybe the Shen family can recover to its former glory.
But everything of the Shen family cannot be placed entirely on Zhixuan.
He had to leave a root for the Shen family.
Shen Qingyun looked at the child who was sitting under a tree reading a book not far away.
…
The news that Jia Kun went to find Shen Qingyun and whipped Jia Liu twenty times in front of the Jia family ancestral hall soon reached Lin Mo.
But she just smiled and didn't say much.
If Jia Kun doesn't even have this awareness, then honestly speaking, letting him be the village chief will only hold them back, so it would be better to replace him with someone smarter.
At the same time, Xu Pinggui came in.
"Young Madam, Li Xianlie has managed to escape unscathed. Ping An and the others have been deceived." Xu Pinggui said gravely.
"Ping An has been sending people to monitor Li Xianlie's every move, but they haven't seen him go out in the past few days, so they thought he stayed at home."
After all, Mo City was in chaos at that time, and many people did not go out, so no one thought about going somewhere else.
Lin Mo nodded, "We came prepared, it's normal that Ping An and the others didn't notice.
Also, I think Li Xianlie has reached a cooperation agreement with Han Shuo and the others. Let Ping An find out what their cooperation is about; it might be helpful to us."
There was a hint of calculation in Lin Mo's eyes.
Li Xianlie is a businessman, and seeking profit and avoiding harm is a businessman's instinct.
He chose Han Shuo, it must be because Han Shuo offered conditions that he could not refuse, so she was very curious about what kind of conditions made Li Xianlie agree.
"Okay, I'll pass the message to Ping An later." Xu Pinggui nodded, his expression serious.
"I found out that Li Xianlie arrived in Zhaojia Village five days ago.
After he arrived in the village, he invited people from Zhaojia Village to do the work, and quoted a high price to them to complete the work within three days. He also had one request: to keep a low profile and not make it public.
So the work he hadn't finished before was completed in just three days. Then Zhao Dashan brought people to ask for it. I suspect that all this was planned by Li Xianlie. But the Shen family..."
Xu Pinggui frowned, "I haven't found any clues yet.
But I don’t believe in coincidences. I think maybe the Shen family and Li Xianlie have also reached a cooperation.
"The reason behind the land dispute is probably to get the two villages to fight, and then divert the trouble to us. Their goal is to alienate us from the people of the two villages, and then they will profit from it."
Lin Mo nodded and said nothing.
But she didn't think it was that simple.
Lin Mo placed his right hand on the back of his left hand, gently massaging and relaxing his left hand.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't say anything, Xu Pinggui continued, "Also, Ping'an and the others sent back news that Ruyi Bank has been making a big move these past few days. Their manager has been constantly visiting various large and small businesses, trying to persuade them to open a branch in Zhaojia Village, and he's even offered very generous terms."
Lin Mo smiled.
This is the wave I've been waiting for.
We have to add fuel to the fire.
Ruyixing could persuade these people to go to Zhaojia Village to open a shop and do business, which would be a good way to attract people to his side.
Once the popularity here increases, it will naturally attract more people to come here.
If someone comes, are you still worried about no business opportunities?
After Xu Pinggui finished explaining everything, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Lin Mo's instructions.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but picked up the pen and started writing.
I write several letters at a time.
After finishing writing, he put the envelope in place and handed it to Xu Pinggui, "Have someone deliver it to them in Mocheng as quickly as possible."
Xu Pinggui nodded, then went down.
After Xu Pinggui went down, Lin Mo walked to the window and leaned against it to look towards Yuancheng.
Old Xu, when you come back, Yuancheng will probably have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just as Lin Mo was leaning against the window thinking about Xu Wuyan, Xu Xianyu hurried in.
"Sister-in-law!" Xu Xianyu's voice was a little breathless. She had run all the way here, and now she was not only out of breath, but her legs were also a little weak.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo stood up straight, saw that she was sweating, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her.
"Huangfu Cheng wrote me a letter, and he also enclosed another letter inside, asking me to give it to you.
I was afraid it was some important letter, so I hurried to bring it to you."
After saying that, she took out the letter and handed it to Lin Mo, then sat down on a stool beside her to rest.
Lin Mo was suspicious. Huangfu Cheng wrote a letter to her?
This guy must be unhappy about being cheated last time, so he wrote to ask for compensation!
How long has it been?
Lin Jiuyi took out the letter and opened it.
But the content of the letter made her face darken, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged from the bottom of her heart.
Huangfu Cheng would not write a letter specifically to tell me this.
It all depends on how you look at this information.
There was no unusual movement in the Beiling army, but Daye's Zhenbei Army had been constantly mobilizing troops and conducting drills in the past few days, and had even selected a team of 500 people as the vanguard.
As for the purpose, Huangfu Cheng's letter did not state it.
Xu Xianyu also noticed that Lin Mo looked very unhappy.
She stood up while frowning, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Lin Mo handed the letter to Xu Xianyu to read. If she wanted to be independent, it was impossible for her to know nothing.
Xu Xianyu frowned, "Sister-in-law, isn't it normal for the army to deploy troops?
Is there anything wrong with this letter?"
No, she has to write a letter to Huangfu Cheng.
The writing was vague and unclear, and no one could guess what the letter meant.
Wouldn't it be better to write the letter clearly?
Lin Mo shook his head, "Look at the first sentence."
Xu Xianyu frowned, but still went to see obediently. There was nothing unusual with the Beiling army today.
Seeing that she was still confused, Lin Mo took a deep breath:
“There’s no movement in the enemy camp, so why is there movement in our camp?
Any movement means there is action, and the people selected from the Zhenbei Army are all the confidants of Zhenbei General Song Yi.
And this selected team has only 500 people, which is one tenth of the entire Zhenbei Army. Do you know what this means? "
Lin Mo's lips curled up in mockery. "This means that this impromptu team will act alone and carry out some mission that no one else knows about."
Xu Xianyu finally reacted. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, are you saying that they...they are going to raid us?"
As he spoke, Xu Xianyu couldn't help but raise his voice.
Lin Mo nodded. "It seems that after Han Shuo and his men suffered a great loss and realized they couldn't do anything to us, they came up with this insidious plan."
Huangfu Cheng had conducted a detailed investigation of the Zhenbei Army, and she had read that information.
Just because he had seen it, Lin Mo's face looked particularly ugly.
Every year, Song Yi sent people to pretend to be from Beiling and steal snacks from the people.
And if five hundred well-trained soldiers attacked them when they were off guard, it would be enough to destroy Yuancheng and the grain they had harvested.
Once this place is destroyed, they will become lambs to be slaughtered.
Lin Mo's face looked very ugly. This was probably the biggest crisis they were about to face.
No, it's not that simple.
Why did Li Xianlie suddenly cause trouble at this time?
A dark light flashed quickly in Lin Mo's eyes. This might be a countermeasure they have discussed.
Let Li Xianlie cause trouble in front to divert attention from his side, while Song Yi will be responsible for attacking them secretly. This is a good plan.
The Zhenbei Army had never fought in front of them, so they would not pay special attention to any unusual movements of the Zhenbei Army.
In addition, Li Xianlie was in the front responsible for diverting their attention, so they would not pay attention to the movements of the Zhenbei Army.
If Huangfu Cheng hadn't reminded her in this letter, she would have overlooked this point.
She wondered why Li Xianlie didn't do anything secretly, but was rather high-profile.
very good!
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with anger, and she quickly walked out of the study, "Uncle Peng, go call Pinggui and the others over, there's something going on!"
