Chapter 61: Sharing the melon and sharing the difficulties
"So who is it?" Daying was anxious.
Flaws, why are there so many flaws!
These dangerous little flames must be extinguished quickly!
“Yes—cough cough cough!!!”
Naji was about to say Qiao Youyou's name when her eyes suddenly widened!
Then he started coughing violently, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Da Ying:?
It’s terrible! Why did the poison take effect at this time?
His face changed and he grabbed Naji's shoulders and shook her violently.
"Hey, hey hey hey, no, die after you finish talking!
Who is it? Tell me!
Speak up!!!"
After shaking it twice, Naji's head tilted and she was no longer breathing.
Da Ying fell back to the ground, his mind dazed.
No way, it’s too early.
how so.
Is it really like what Mr. Bi said, that our business capabilities are not good enough?
No, that's not possible. How could he know that Naji was hiding such a big thing?
Daying thought about it and felt that this situation was not his fault.
He put the golden lock away.
Now that things have come to this, I can only report the truth when I return.
…
The news that Jiang Xueer committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment reached the academy, and Zhu Lan and others felt depressed.
Was it really suicide out of fear of punishment?
Moreover, on the day when the news of Jiang Xueer's death was announced, Mr. Jiang took his entire family out of the city and disappeared.
Zhu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn't tell anyone that Jiang Xueer might have forged her identity.
Her intuition told her that the secret behind this was definitely not simple.
At the same time, Zhu Lan also felt a strong sense of crisis.
Since a Hu person like Jiang Xueer dared to kill people in the academy and acted so rampantly and unscrupulously, it is very likely that there is someone protecting him behind the scenes.
Is it the county magistrate? Or the prefect?
Or some other force?
Zhu Lan couldn't and didn't dare to speculate now.
The most crucial point is that it is now impossible to determine whether the other party has noticed Qiao Youyou.
Qiao Youyou stays with these classmates all day long. What if the other party attacks everyone just to be on the safe side?
The current strength and status of my group of people are too weak. If the other party really takes action, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light...
Zhu Lan shook his head and said, "No, the situation is too dangerous now."
Before we have enough ability to protect ourselves, everyone must be more careful.
…
After school, except for Chang Yunxiao who had already left, the other nine people gathered at the Guanfeng Pavilion.
Zhu Lan told Jiang Xueer all his suspicions about her and the situation he was worried about.
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this.
They are not stupid, the current situation is indeed terrible.
This was in ancient times. There was no such thing as life being above all else, nor was there any concept of equality for all.
They knew about the top-down oppression of the feudal hierarchy when they were studying history.
Now they are just a group of powerless children.
"Could it be that... the situation is not as bad as you say?"
Xiao Wan said in a low voice, glancing at Zhao Sicheng beside her with some trepidation.
Qiao Youyou also nodded:
"Although I saw Jiang Xueer's golden lock, if Lan Lan hadn't said so, I would never have thought of her as a Hu person.
Maybe Jiang Xue'er is just like me and doesn't take it seriously at all?"
Everyone: That’s because you are too careless, okay?
"No, we can't gamble on this kind of thing." Zhu Lan said firmly.
Liang Zhou also became serious for a rare time, "As you said, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We cannot predict what actions the other party will take. Isn't this purely passive?"
He stroked his chin, "How about... I ask my uncle to send some people to protect us?"
"I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever." Zhu Lan pondered.
"Besides, this is the Academy. It would be too eye-catching to call so many people in for no reason. What if I am overthinking it and the other party didn't notice Youyou at all? Wouldn't we be exposing ourselves like this?
But the good thing is that such a big case just happened in the academy, the other party should not dare to act rashly in the short term, we have a lot of time. "
"That makes sense." Qiao Youyou agreed, "The other party must be afraid that if we push them too far, they will do something desperate."
Everyone: ...
Qin Yuwei held her forehead with her hand, "The idiom 'a cornered dog will jump over the wall' cannot be used on me."
Qiao Youyou stuck out her tongue.
Xu Shiming smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, if you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about this. Now I feel like I've suddenly learned a secret that might be silenced. I can't even sleep well."
The others felt the same way.
It was as if I was eating hotpot and singing songs, and suddenly I was targeted by a strange organization.
What a resentful person!
Zhu Lan was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Shiming: "What did you just say?"
Xu Shiming realized that his words might have been misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhu Lan, I don't mean to complain to you. After all, you are considering the safety of all of us. We all know that!"
"No." Zhu Lan murmured, "You didn't know this secret before, but now you know..."
Yes, since those who know the secret will be in danger, instead of being so passive and worried all day long——
Why not just muddy the waters and let everyone know the secret!
Zhu Lan looked up with shining eyes, she had an idea.
Are there thousands of people in the academy? No!
There are thousands of them!
We all come from the same melon field, so naturally we should share the melons and share the difficulties!
…
Bi Chong was taking a nap on the couch in the study when he was suddenly awakened by hurried footsteps. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Da Ying walked in quickly, saying "something happened".
Bi Cong sat up helplessly. These foreigners were really not stable at all!
What does it mean to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you?
When I have time I should really write a letter and have a good talk with their leader. He is so irresponsible!
Bi Cong raised his eyelids and asked slowly what made him so panic.
Da Ying looked anxious.
"Everyone in Longchang Academy is saying today that Jiang... Naji is actually a Hu person and is not the daughter of Master Jiang at all!"
Bi Cong was so shocked that he stood up suddenly from the couch.
Da Ying continued:
"There are all kinds of rumors, but among them..." Da Ying swallowed his saliva, looking a little nervous, "some people actually said that she was a spy sent by the Hu people, and some people said that she was killed in prison."
Beads of sweat appeared on Bi Cong's forehead.
The terrible thing about rumors is that...
You never know when it will guess it right!
Bi Cong quickly asked whether the source of the rumor had been found.
"How can I check this?" Daying said unhappily.
"They are all gossips, and there are so many versions. How can I check what you told me and I told you?"
Bi Cong's eyebrows were almost knotted. He paced back and forth for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, we have already relocated the Jiang family. Now all the connections have been cut off. The death of Naji should not involve any further incidents."
Da Ying snorted.
Isn’t it?
Early this morning, many students even ran to the door of Jiang's house to watch the excitement.
He really hadn't thought about why these people from the Central Plains would be so interested in gossip of unknown origin!!!
It's outrageous!
Fortunately, the Jiang family is now deserted.
Bi Cong walked to the desk and started writing.
"Send this letter by carrier pigeon immediately - no, go and deliver it to your leader in person."
