Tang Bohu closed his eyes worriedly, thinking about the whole story of this matter, and immediately thought of someone, Xu Zhenqing! Xu Jing had met Xu Zhenqing before the incident, and Xu Zhenqing had also come to meet Xu Jing after the incident.

Standing up, Tang Bohu hurried to Xu Zhenqing's home in Tangzhuang and knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, Xu Zhenqing's smile was, "Bohu, it's really rare! I'm rare to see you on weekdays, so why do I have the leisure to come to me today?"

Tang Bohu said calmly: "I want to ask for a cup of tea from you."

"I don't have any good tea here." Xu Zhenqing said: "There are only some tea cakes left that have been stored for a long time, don't dislike them."

"Is it okay to live here?" Tang Bohu asked.

Xu Zhenqing brewed tea and said, "It's not bad, I like it very much! The drinks here are quite fresh."

Tang Bohu said to Xu Zhenqing: "I haven't asked you what you have done for so many years."

"I went away from my hometown with my father at home. I have wandered outside over the years. I have seen many people, many mountains and rivers, and many warm and cold people. In comparison, I see. Tang Bohu, you have experienced more things in the past two years than I have in the past few years."

"You have changed a lot." Tang Bohu said.

"The more people experience, there will be more changes. Tang Bohu, isn't that the case? What you have experienced from Jiangnan to Beijing in the past two years is something that some people will never experience in their entire lives."

Tang Bohu calmed down, "Why did you want to meet Xu Jing?"

"It's nothing, I'll go see him."

Xu Zhenqing said it very calmly, but Tang Bohu still felt even more suspicious, just a few words, no acknowledgment, and no quibbling.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea. At this moment, Wen Zhengming walked in.

"Bohu, you are here too."

"I want to ask Xu Zhenqing some things." Tang Bohu turned to ask Wen Zhengming. "How are you preparing for the spring exam?"

"Actually, I'm not sure, I'm just having fun in the capital." Xu Zhenqing said with a smile. He moved a chair and sat between Tang Bohu and Xu Zhenqing and poured a cup of tea himself. "I don't know how many years have passed. The three of us haven't talked well for a while in a long time."

After Wen Zhengming said this, Tang Bohu was also energetic. There were only three children in front of him now. Zhu Zhishan returned to Jiangnan and probably would not participate in this imperial examination. Xu Zhenqing has been traveling abroad and has never seen him on weekdays. Tang Bohu looked at Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhen and felt that he should not doubt his childhood playmates. But from a rational point of view, Xu Zhenqing's actions really had to make him doubt. His actions were too suspicious!

"What are you two talking about just now?" Wen Zhengming asked.

"Let's talk about the past." Xu Zhenqing looked at Tang Bohu meaningfully and said.

After hearing the words, Tang Bohu drank a cup of tea on his own, Xu Zhenqing's answer concealed all the embarrassment before. Looking at Xu Zhenqing, from this point of view, Xu Zheng still cared about the relationship between the few people.

Wen Zhengming said: "Now it seems that the most promising person among us is Bo Hu. He is already the Jinyiwei Qianhu at the age of fifteen. Has there been such a young Qianhu since the founding of the Ming Dynasty?"

"That's true." Xu Zhenqing nodded and said, "I haven't heard of it anyway."

Imperial Palace in the capital

Li Dongyang and the current Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhang talked about the leak of the imperial examination questions.

Zhu Youzhang asked in a low voice: "Have the leaked test questions been confirmed? Is it the test questions we want to use?"

Li Dongyang bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty! It is indeed undoubtedly the test question was leaked by the little book boy in Cheng Minzheng's family. This matter was revealed by Tang Bohu, and Tang Bohu is currently being interrogated."

"What a courage!" Zhu Youzhang said coldly: "The spring exam is about to come, and someone dares to do such a thing."

"Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang continued: "At present, we can only let the Hanlin Academy draw up new test questions as soon as possible."

"Did Tang Bohu suppress this matter?" Zhu Youzhang asked again.

Li Dongyang replied: "Tang Bohu has the intention to suppress this matter, but there is no airtight wall. If this matter is just suppressed, it will be a temporary opportunity. Even if someone mentions the leak of the test questions after the spring exam..."

"That will become a scandal in the imperial examination since this dynasty!" Zhu Youzhang said.

"That's right!" Li Dongyang said: "The thing I'm worried about now is this matter. It's okay to not repair the problem if you don't lose your sheep. Your Majesty has heard of something called a mock exam in Tangzhuang Academy."

"Mock exam?" Zhu Youzhang had never heard of it.

Li Dongyang: "It's just a drill, using similar topics to take exams."

Zhu Youzhang said: "Tang Bohu can come up with these new ideas, but how to implement this mock exam."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this." Li Dongyang continued: "The old minister will inform several major scholars in Beijing and prepare the title with the editors of the Hanlin Academy."

"This thing must be done cleanly and foolproof!" Zhu Youzhang said in an orderly manner: "I don't want to hear anything about the leak of the exam questions."

"The old minister understands." Li Dongyang bowed: "The old minister gave up."

Li Dongyang left, and the palace was quiet. Zhu Youzhang whispered: "Wude, have you heard it?"

"I heard it." Wude quietly appeared behind Zhu Youzhang.

"Is what Tang Bohu has done these days still under your surveillance?" Zhu Youzhang said.

Wude: "Report to your Majesty! Tang Bohu has been under our surveillance, but this matter is strange!"

"What a weird thing?" Zhu Youzhang continued.

Wude replied: "All this is so coincidental. Tang Bohu seemed to know that Xu Jing went back to buy the topic, and he also got the stolen goods. He thought that this was Tang Bohu's trap for Xu Jing, because all this was too coincidental. However, after our investigation, it was found that Tang Bohu was not trapped for Xu Jing but..."

"But what." Zhu Youzhang asked again.

Wude: "But Tang Bohu was like a prophet of the uncertainty, and he began to monitor Xu Jing for the first time."

Zhu Youzhang: "Then do you have any clues?"

Wude took a step back and said, "Report to Your Majesty, we have indeed realized a very suspicious person. This person is named Xu Zhenqing, a young man from Tang Bohu. He is from Jiangnan. This person traveled with his father eight years ago and just returned to the capital last year."

"Tang Bohu's little." Zhu Youzhang said again: "Since it's small, is it possible for them to conspire?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no possibility of this." Wude said.

"Why?" Zhu Youzhang asked.
