Chu Mo saw that he was suddenly so irritable for some reason, as if he had a deep hatred for this notice board, and it was a little inexplicable, but this notice board was still a public thing, and if it was broken, the county government would have to pay for it. Chu Mo saw that he was angry, so he said to him in a gentle tone: "This benevolent brother, why is it so angry, it's not good to smash your hand." Although the notice board is made of wooden planks, it is still stronger than a fist, and it is really inappropriate to vent like this. ”

The man heard the persuasion of the person next to him, turned his head, and Chu Mo saw that there were hot tears in his eyes, and he was stunned.

"Why...... Why...... Why isn't it me yet......" The man muttered with some tears, "I really tried my best...... Really tried my best......"

Chu Mo looked up, the sun on the horizon was scorching, and it was estimated that the weather would have to wait an hour or two before it would cool down a little. It's still early, and the road is far away and there is no hurry. After thinking about it, Chu Mo smiled at the man with the sentiment of his parents and officials who love the people like children: "This benevolent brother, you can tell me what happened, and it may be better to tell the bitterness in your heart." ”

The man looked at Chu Mo, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm smiling, I just failed in the county exam, and it's okay, thank you for it." ”

Chu Mo listened to it and said with a smile: "It's common to fall off the list, there is no end to learning from the sea, there are few geniuses in the world, don't be discouraged, just keep working hard, just come back to the test next year." ”

The man shook his head at Chu Mo, sniffed, and said, "No, it's not like that. I don't have the qualifications to refer to it at all. The examiner rejected me without even reading my essay. ”

Chu Mo was a little puzzled and asked, "Oh?

As a county magistrate, he also participated in the invigilation of the county examination, and he had never heard of any restrictions on the county examination, so he easily vetoed the qualifications of a scholar.

"My mother...... Married to a native of Chu. The man twitched his head, twitched his nose, and said with a crying voice.

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, and the words of Chu Guo suddenly jumped into his ears, and he couldn't help but become sensitive.

During the war of that year, the state of Wu was also in the sphere of influence of the state of Chu. Under the deterrence and oppression of the Chu State, the Wu State chose to compromise and pay a large amount of tribute to the Chu State, and opened all the trade routes to the Chu State, which was equivalent to completely exposing his throat to the Chu State. After the end of the war, the resentment of the people in the territory of Wu against the Chu State increased day by day, and the women who married the people of the Chu State during the war ended up being pointed out by Wanfu, and the status of their descendants in society was also excluded.

Chu Mo turned his head and looked at the list on the notice board, Lin Xi's name was in the first place, and he was the champion.

He thought of some comforting words in his belly, and just wanted to open his mouth to the man in front of him, when he suddenly heard a mocking voice from behind him: "Zhang Shiyao, don't look at it, there won't be an extra name on the list if you look at it again." ”

The man and Chu Mo both looked at the voice, and a few students walked out of the door of the restaurant in twos and threes, with mocking faces, walking here, and the first person was Lin Xi, who had taken a look in the restaurant that day.

A bloated student beside Lin Xi raised his eyelids arrogantly, glanced at the man beside Chu Mo and said, "Zhang Shiyao, don't you still want to surpass our Lin Gongzi in the academy? Why didn't I see your name on the list?"

Zhang Shiyao was stunned for a moment and watched them stay where they were.

After that, several people laughed eatingly, and another student pointed at Zhang Shiyao and said, "Come on, isn't he just a clown who jumps off the beam?" If you want to be in the limelight in front of our Lin Gongzi, the poem he wrote for Mr. in the school that day must have plagiarized Lin Gongzi, otherwise how could he be eliminated without passing the first exam of the county exam?"

As soon as the words fell, they all laughed in unison, Lin Xi looked at Zhang Shiyao with indifferent eyes and did not speak.

"I didn't! I didn't!" Zhang Shiyao's face turned red, and he argued vigorously at several people.

The fat student stepped forward and said to him: "Eh, Zhang Shiyao, the first test of the county exam is the easiest poem, almost everyone in our school has passed, what's the matter, Mr. Invigilator is too strict, you can't copy it?" ”

When Zhang Shiyao heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a word.

"I'll just say, Zhang Shiyao, you should usually study hard, don't be full of thoughts about wanting to be in the limelight in front of Lin Gongzi, just copy poems, and copy such a high level, but in the end you slapped yourself in the face, why do you say this?" another student sneered at Zhang Shiyao loudly.

"I didn't copy it!" Zhang Shiyao yelled at him, his voice raising a few points.

The fat student walked up to him and slapped him the shoulder with his hand, knocking him to a stagger.

"What are you yelling about, don't you see Lin Gongzi here?" the fat student frowned and reprimanded him.

The student next to Lin Xi stepped forward and said to Zhang Shiyao with a smile: "Come, our great talent, tell us, how did you try the first time?"

"Because my mother...... My mother ......" Zhang Shiyao wanted to speak and stopped, his fists clenched.

Chu Mo looked at him from the side, feeling a little sorry for what happened to him, in order to maintain basic law and order, he stepped forward, intending to open his mouth to make a round.

"Because your mother is a Qinglou seller?" the fat student said with a smile, grabbing Zhang Shiyao's headscarf with one hand.

Zhang Shiyao was single and weak, his eyes were full of anger, he struggled hard, endured the pain and raised his hand to punch the fat student in the face.

Lin Xi looked at him quietly, still unresponsive.

The fat student was punched, looked at him incredulously, and said, "Is it back against you?"

After that, he rounded his thick arm and slapped Zhang Shiyao's face fiercely, Chu Mo wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late, Zhang Shiyao was slapped in a circle by this slap, and fell to the ground in a daze.

The situation became more serious, Chu Mo raised his hand at the fat student and said, "Stop, don't hurt anyone." ”

The fat student raised his eyes, saw Chu Mo, and said with a mouth full of spittle: "Who are you?

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at the rude words and deeds of the fat man who looked like a scholar, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Shiyao jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the fat student again, waving his fists, his eyes already red. A few students around Lin Xi saw it, hugged it, and kicked Zhang Shiyao to the ground with a few kicks. The dust was flying, Zhang Shiyao was like a water dog protecting his head, facing the punches and kicks of several students.

"Scolding, saying that you are a waste, are you still not convinced?" the fat student pressed Zhang Shiyao's head stiffly, cocked his mouth disdainfully, and raised his fist high.

Syllable.

One hand grasped his arm, like a sturdy pliers, and the fat student's arm couldn't move.

He turned his head suspiciously, and saw Chu Mo appear behind him at some point, still looking at him with a gentle expression on his face.

"Stop fighting, stop. Chu Mo said lightly, without the slightest wave in his tone.

"Who the are you!" said the fat student impatiently, and was about to struggle his arm out, but after several attempts, he didn't move.

Chu Mo was still tugging on the fat student's arm, as if he was just holding a firewood stick.

The fat student was dragged in a little pain, and when he turned over, he pushed Chu Mo over. Before he could reach out his hand, his arm that was being pulled was twisted by an irresistible force. The fat student followed and spun around in place, sweating beads on his face in pain, and he couldn't stop moaning.

Several other students couldn't help but be stunned when they saw him being easily suppressed to the ground by Chu Mo, and they all looked at him.

"Lin Gongzi...... Lin Gongzi ......" The fat student's expression distorted, and he looked at Lin Xi on the side with a pleading look.

Lin Xi and Chu Mo glanced at each other in unison, Chu Mo was dressed as an ordinary scholar, and he couldn't see the appearance of the county order at all. He and Lin Xi only had a one-sided relationship with Zhang Renjie in the restaurant that day, if it weren't for his excellent grades, Chu Mo wouldn't have much impression of him.

Several students saw that the fat student who was usually arrogant and powerful was easily restrained by this Chu Mo, who looked weak, and couldn't hide the surprise on their faces, and after glancing at each other, regardless of Zhang Shiyao on the ground, they rushed towards Chu Mo one after another.

Chu Mo casually avoided their painless fists, stretched out his other hand, grabbed a student's arm, inadvertently stepped on his foot, controlled the force, and twisted his wrist slightly, the student howled in pain, and his whole body trembled and knelt on the ground, shrinking into a ball.

Then, with a kick of his foot, a student who pounced on him was hit in the chest, flew backwards a few steps away, and fell to the ground, clutching his chest with a hideous face, and blood oozing from his mouth.

Zhang Shiyao, who fell to the ground, sat up, looked at this scene, and looked at Chu Mo with his mouth wide open.

Lin Xi stood with his hands hanging on the side, and a look of surprise appeared on his unwavering face.

Chu Mo didn't want to hurt anyone, so he specially slowed down his movements, grabbed a student's arm with one hand, pulled it back, and then threw it forward, the two students were thrown to the ground like a quilt, and the screams came like killing pigs.

A few idlers in the restaurant were disturbed by the sound and hurriedly gathered at the door to watch the excitement.

Chu Mo easily solved a few students in the blink of an eye, and the remaining two students didn't dare to step forward, so they ran behind Lin Xi one after another, looking at Chu Mo nervously, their eyes full of horror.

Zhang Shiyao also hurriedly got up and ran behind Chu Mo, and the two groups of people stood in front of the notice board face to face.

Lin Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Chu Mo, "Who are you?"

Chu Mo shook his head at him and said, "No, I just passed by here and had a few words with this benevolent brother, but unexpectedly, these people started to move their hands first, and they couldn't look at it below, so they came to persuade him." ”

The fat student who fell to the ground struggled to turn around, and shouted to Chu Mo: "You fart! Obviously, this bastard did it first! Lin Gongzi, help the brothers ......."

Zhang Shiyao glared at him angrily and said, "Who are you scolding for being a mongrel!"

"Little brother, the bad words hurt people and June Cold, they are all cultural people, don't speak filthy. Chu Mo looked at the fat student and said gently.

Lin Xi said on the side: "I can see that you have practiced, and we are not here to find trouble, but they are all my friends, although he is a little anxious, but you can't say that you beat them like this." ”

As he spoke, his chin lifted slightly, and his eyes showed a cold light that refused to back down.

"Brother Lin, after all, it was your friends who were at fault first, they were only slightly injured, and the two sides were evened out. Chu Mo smiled at Lin Xi.

As soon as he finished speaking, the student who was kicked away by him spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, covering his body and trembling.

Lin Xi looked at him, then at Chu Mo, his expression was already a little cold.

Chu Mo still smiled and said, "Then in that case, what do you want, Brother Zhang?"

Lin Xi looked at Zhang Shiyao behind him and said, "Let him apologize to my friend, and you can go." ”

Zhang Shiyao was stunned for a moment, and said to Lin Xi: "Why, just because I made the first move? Obviously, he scolded my mother!"

Lin Xi didn't pay attention to him, just looked at Chu Mo coldly.

Chu Mo was a little troubled by this sudden trouble, and said to him, "That's it, Brother Lin." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Zhang Shiyao's sleeve with one hand, turned around and walked to the side.

"Stop!" Lin Xi shouted to them, his face turning gloomy. He didn't expect that there were still people around Zhang Shiyao who would dare to be so unreasonable to him. Originally, he was just trying to save face, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Shiyao at all, but the man in front of him, who looked about his age, didn't seem to care about his existence at all.

Lin Xi's white face became a little annoyed, and he looked at Chu Mo and said, "You want to leave like this?"

Chu Mo stopped and smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Then you leave him behind. Lin Xi nodded at Zhang Shiyao and said.

When Zhang Shiyao heard this, he looked at Chu Mo with a little panicked eyes asking for help, and he could see that Lin Xi was really a little angry at this time, like him, he had been bullied by Lin Xi's subordinates on weekdays, if he stayed, it was estimated that they would vent all their anger on him.

Chu Mo looked at Zhang Shiyao and said to Lin Xi, "Brother Lin, why bother?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xi suddenly rushed forward with an arrow step, and kicked Chu Mo with a side kick, the speed of the kick was extremely fast, the angle was tricky, and there was some wind.

Chu Mo had seen Lin Xi's skills in the examination room of the martial arts test, his footwork was higher than ordinary people, and he kicked an opponent's knee into a fracture in a martial arts competition, and everyone present was amazed.

He looked at the oncoming Lin Xi, did not dodge, and when Lin Xi was about to kick him, he raised his knee and gently blocked his side kick with his calf, and then popped out his calf in an instant and kicked on his chest.

Lin Xi was kicked over on his back, clutched his chest, raised his head and looked at Chu Mo in disbelief.

"Let's go, Brother Zhang. Chu Mo didn't wait for everyone to react, pulled Zhang Shiyao's sleeve and said lightly, turned around and walked to the side.
