Listening to Zhang Yue's last sentence, Tang Bohu's original action of eating and stuffing suddenly stopped. Stretching out his chopsticks, he froze in the air, his mouth full of stuffed food and did not move, but large tears slipped down his eyes.

Everyone was sad and silent. Although Su Mo had known this ending, he couldn't help but feel gloomy when he saw him like this at this moment.

Tang Bohu is only twenty-nine years old this year, not even thirty years old, and he is at the peak of a man's life. But a catastrophe occurred, and all his hopes were cut off. is how free and heroic he is, and at this moment, how not to burst into tears.

In this era, learning is excellent. Everything is inferior, only to read high, learn literature and martial arts, and sell to the emperor's family. It can be seen from this kind of statement that reading the academic examination is almost everyone's dream.

Only through the imperial examination can one get ahead and glorify one's ancestors. Is this narrow-minded? Yes, very narrow-minded. However, this is the general climate that runs through the entire era, which cannot be changed, cannot be changed, and no one is willing to change.

Especially for a literati like Tang Bohu, cutting off the road to official career is tantamount to a kind of destruction. This is also the reason why it was only a few months, and his whole appearance was haggard so that Su Meng couldn't figure it out.

A man's heart dies even more completely than the flesh. The so-called mourning is greater than the death of the heart, and this is the case.

"Brother Bohu, the so-called three hundred and sixty lines are the champion. With the great talent of a brother, why can't he not make a difference and set up a career? A person has a life, and there is no major matter except death, and a good man should be open-minded and smile at the clouds, why should he be like this?"

Stretching out his hand and pressing Tang Bohu's shoulder, Su Mo's face became rare and solemn, and he looked at him slowly, almost word by word.

Tang Bohu's teary eyes finally gradually gained a hint of brilliance. His lips trembled, and slowly, slowly, he swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty. As if he wanted to say something, he didn't say a word for a moment.

A flash of gloom flashed in Su Mo's eyes, but then he shook his shoulder with force, and then glanced at several other people.

At this time, it is really not a good time to persuade. This kind of thing can only be passed if he thinks through it and understands it himself. Otherwise, anyone's persuasion is helpless.

Fortunately, Su Mo knew from later generations that this product was finally enlightened and broke into the name of a well-known "merry genius", and even Liu Sanchang, who was not weak in the past, did not need to worry about him too much.

"Let's go out and talk, let him be quiet. Su Mo whispered, standing up first. Outside the door, he instructed Lamei to come and wait.

And when they left the house, they went to the study and took their seats. After the next person brought the tea and retreated, Zhang Yue sighed and said: "The world is impermanent, I didn't feel this originally, but when I saw Brother Bohu like this today, I suddenly felt enlightened." ”

Xu Pengju next to him said with an angry face: "What is this, since there is no evidence, then you should return what others deserve." Why is it unfair to jerk it off to the end!"

Zhang Yue's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced left and right, realizing that this was his own mansion, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and shouted: "Marshal Xu, Hugh is in vain!"

Xu Pengju was furious, jumped up and said angrily: "What nonsense! I just want to say that Your Majesty's move is unfair." Are all the princes of the court and the central government blind? Why did the three elders, who claimed to be famous ministers of Zhongxing and Geng Jie, keep silent and let this matter go? Where did this famous minister come from?

Zhang Yue was atmospheric and said hurriedly: "You ......"

Xu Pengju interrupted: "What are you! Zhang Xiaosao, you are really a sullen person, you are really afraid of the front and back, and you are afraid of the future, and you have no eggs, and you will be embarrassed by our Wuxun family in vain." Phew!"

Zhang Yueqi's face turned red, Huo Ran got up and said angrily: "Xu Pengju, you are so bloody and spewing people! Who is afraid of the front and the back, who has no eggs! You have a kind of you, you go to Your Majesty to redress Tang Bohu's grievances, and the Lord will kneel down and kowtow and obey you!"

Xu Pengju also blushed, and shouted: "Go and go, don't you dare to be a master?" so that you can see that our masters in Nanjing are stronger than you and value friendship more than you. ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Guangzuo, who had been silent, couldn't help but change color, Huo Ran looked up at Xu Pengju, but his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword on his waist.

These two families were divided into two factions when they became ancestors in the past. The boss Wei Guogong is in the same vein, and believes that Emperor Jianwen is the successor designated by Taizu and is orthodox. And Zhu Di, the king of Yan at that time, was a rebellious minister and thief who rebelled and usurped the throne. Therefore, not only did he actively help the imperial court to quell the rebellion after Zhu Di raised his army, but also wanted to detain Zhu Di's three sons who stayed in Nanjing as a pledge;

And the other vein, that is, the old man at that time, was devoted to Zhu Di. With his secret help, he first let go of Zhu Gaosui and the other three protons, and then secretly passed the information of Nanjing to Zhu Di from time to time, and finally made Zhu Di know himself and the enemy, and crossed the Yangtze River all the way to the city of Nanjing.

But at the last moment, Emperor Jianwen was desperate for the situation and set fire to the palace*. Before he died, he ordered that the boss of the Xu family at that time personally execute the old man who had fornicated with King Yan.

It is precisely because of this that since then, the Ming Dynasty has more Dingguo Gong lineage. It also made the Xu family fall apart, and the brothers turned against each other. Even Princess Yan at that time died of depression because of this.

The implication and grievances in this were not gradually eased until the beginning of Hongzhi, under the mediation of Emperor Hongzhi. But that scar has always been in the hearts of the two families, indelible.

Now, under Xu Pengju's anger, he did not choose his words, faintly alluding to the past, which suddenly aroused Xu Guangzuo's anger. You must know that the one who died that day was the ancestor of his lineage after all. And the murderer is Xu Pengju's ancestor.

Xu Guangzuo is silent on weekdays, and his sudden action suddenly surprised Zhang Yue and Xu Pengju. Although Xu Pengju said the wrong thing in his heart, he regretted it in his heart, but he refused to put down his face and bow his head.

Zhang Yue also woke up, glared at Xu Peng hatefully, and hurriedly held down Xu Guangzuo here, for fear that he would not be able to suppress it, and it would be a big deal.

"Enough trouble!" Just as the tension was raging in three times, the head suddenly broke off and shouted, which made the three of them startled. They all turned their heads to look, but they saw that it was Su Mo's pale face, looking down at the three of them with a gloomy face.

Xu Peng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, just turned his head to the side;

Xu Guangzuo pursed his lips tightly, his eyes glowed with a strange light, staring at Xu Pengju deadly, unaware of Su Mo's angry shouting.

is different from Xu Peng's treatment of Su Mo as a brother, and it is also different from Zhang Yue's treatment of Su Mo as a family. Xu Guangzuo's feelings towards Su Mo are more inclined to be friends. In addition, it is the friendship maintained because of the art.

Therefore, Su Mo's angry shouting, Zhang Yue and Xu Pengju would care, but Xu Guangzuo didn't care too much. If Xu Pengju dares to blow up the thorn again, he will definitely not hesitate to make a move. Compared with the friendship between friends, it is obvious that the glory of the father and ancestor is heavier.

"Guangzuo, can you give your brother some face? They are all their own brothers, and they are all their own brothers, so let's get rid of our anger, is it okay to sit down and talk?"

Of course, Su Mo could understand the trick, and he didn't pay attention to Xu Pengju at the moment, but just tried to clench his fists to Xu Guangzuo in a gentle tone.

Others have different friendships with him, and he naturally does the same to others. Xu Pengju is obviously much closer to Xu Guangzuo in his mind, so he can be unapologetic to Xu Pengju, but he is a little more polite to Xu Guangzuo.

Zhang Yue watched clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart. He knew that if one day, Xu Pengju and Xu Guangzuo faced each other, Su Mo would definitely be more inclined to Xu Pengju. This has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is all due to Su Mo's temperament, but it makes him difficult to beak.

"Okay, okay, Brother Mo has said this, don't get excited, Guangzuo. Don't you know what Marshal Xu's temperament is? That's a muddy person, he doesn't have a door on his mouth, and he has no other intentions, so why do you bother to be angry with him?"

Here, Xu Pengju didn't blow up the thorn again, just turned his head and didn't speak. Originally, Wei Guogong and his family were also a little guilty about the past. This emotion continues, although I don't say it in my mouth, but I recognize it in my heart.

"Okay, this is already the case now, our own brother can't change anything even if he breaks his head, but makes those troublemakers proud, so what's the trouble? Hmm, by the way, when did Brother Bohu come back, and did he ever suffer grievances inside?" Su Mo rubbed his head in annoyance and turned the topic to Tang Bohu.

The previous series of events happened so abruptly that he didn't even have time to think about it. At this time, I finally calmed down, and then I could ask about the details.

According to his previous judgment, if he wants to rescue Tang Bohu, he is afraid that it will take some time. At least after the opening of the celebrity club, and after accumulating some contacts, can he take advantage of the situation and promote the release of people by the imperial court.

However, he didn't expect that before he could make a move, the matter was quietly resolved. This also made him feel a little more awe-inspiring in addition to the surprise.

The fact that the emperor is willing to make such a concession for this means that he wants more from himself. An emperor's favor, is that ordinary? Su Mo was really a little worried at this time, for fear that his small body would not be able to bear it. Therefore, try to ask about the ins and outs and various details, and it can be regarded as a little more prepared.

Hearing Su Mo get back to business, Xu Guangzuo and Xu Pengju both restrained themselves and turned their minds back.

"At the end of noon, Jinyi Wei came to inform the people we were going to pick up. At that time, my brother was busy, so he didn't alarm you. Zhang Yue opened his mouth and explained to Su Mo.

"When we picked them up, they were already out of prison, but they were placed in a separate cell, and they didn't seem to be punished. After Jinyi Weida took over from Mu Bin, he was much more relaxed in this regard, and there were very few cases of increasing the sentence, but there was a lot more care for it. The DPRK has heard a lot about this, so it has a lot of respect for him. Presumably, the same is true for Brother Bohu, and my brother doesn't have to worry about this. ”

Su Mo's face softened slightly.

Next to him, Xu Pengju suddenly said: "What do you mean, isn't this matter just like that? First Master Cheng, and then this Brother Tang, isn't it all because of the boss? In this case, if the boss endures it, won't it make people think that we are weak and can be bullied? I don't know what the two of you think, but if this matter is transmitted back to Nanjing, the master will not be able to see anyone." Not to mention, if we shrink this thing today, who knows if it will come again in the future? Who will be next? Hmph, anyway, I've said this, where to go, you can think for yourself. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they couldn't imagine that he, who had always been known as a straw bag, would have such a deep research side. It seems that the rumors are not to be believed, and no one can underestimate them just from the surface.

And after he said this, several people also suddenly realized that there may be something else in this matter, and it is indeed necessary to guard against it. Even Xu Guangzuo's gaze when he looked at Xu Pengju again eased a little.

Zhang Yue locked her eyebrows and looked at Su Mo hesitantly. Among the three, he faintly took the lead, but since this matter implicated Su Mo, he had to carefully consider Su Mo's meaning.

Su Mo's gaze was far away, and his eyes were uncertain. After a long time, he exhaled a long breath, as if talking to himself and as if responding, and said softly: "Don't worry, don't hurry......"
