Teng Yu didn't know that his family's staff had intended to leave, of course, even if he knew, he would not give up.

It is impossible for the imperial decree to grant marriage to only one family, so when Teng Yu arrived at the Huo family, the Huo family had just received the decree, except for Yin Xu, who was all stern and bitter.

As soon as Teng Yu entered the door, he bowed to Huo Zhengquan, "Father-in-law, this time it's finally justified!"

Huo Zhengquan really wanted to slap that ostentatious face, "Hmph, take care of yourself!" He couldn't control it anymore, lest he manage to make an enemy.

Teng Yu's smile never stopped, and he also smiled happily watching the back of Huo Zhengquan leaving quietly. He said to the rest of his peers: "How about I invite you all to have a drink?" From now on, these will be his brother-in-law , the relationship must be done well.

"Okay." The youngest brother-in-law waved his little hand excitedly.

Huo Yiming slapped him with a stern face, "How old are you, do you know what wine is? Just fine?"

"Of course, my father said that drinking is a must for a man."

The juniors don't think too much, they follow the emperor's decree to grant a marriage, whether it's the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family or the dignified third prince, it doesn't matter to them.

However, Huo Yiming was very worried about Yin Xu. If the news spread, it would definitely hurt more than praise it. What a crime it is to kill a prince and kill off his sons and grandchildren!Fortunately, these two can still laugh.

But seeing everyone was happy, Huo Yiming didn't go out of his way to beat everyone up. It was rare for the brothers to get together, which was what he hoped to see.

The group went to the most famous restaurant in Kyoto. There was a private room reserved by Teng Yu all the year round. In the past, he often ate and drank here when he was acting as a playboy. On the contrary, it was the first time that he came here with Yin Xu.

"Hey, Your Highness hasn't been here for a long time, I thought you forgot about our restaurant." Xiao Er is a young man who can speak well, with delicate features and delicate features. Seeing his sad face, Yin Xu suspected that the two of them had been tricked before.

Teng Yu put his arms around Yin Xu's shoulders, stood at the top of the high stairs, and said with a big smile, "His Highness is happy today, so I don't care about you. Feel free to serve good wine and good food. The guests who dine here today The accounts are all recorded in the account of the hall."

There was a burst of cheers, and they asked one after another: "Is it true?"

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words, so His Highness still needs to lie to you with such a small amount of money?" After speaking, he took the Huo family brothers upstairs.

After their backs disappeared completely, the guests below started talking loudly.

"The one who went up just now is the third prince, right? It seems that the last time I saw him was a year ago, and he has changed a lot."

"Is Xiongtai a foreigner? Or just came back from a foreign place?"

"I'm a merchant. I'm in the business of diverting goods from the south to the north. I only go to Kyoto once a year."

"So that's the case. No wonder you don't know that the Third Highness has now recanted from evil and returned to righteousness. Last year, he also organized two major events, and his reputation is good."

Someone at the next table couldn't listen anymore, "Hey, this little brother can really make up. A person's nature is so easy to change. I also heard that the third prince just gained his reputation for nothing in those two incidents last year. They are all from below."

"I don't agree with this statement. How could the disaster relief work go so smoothly without the Third Prince watching? Without the Third Prince coming forward, who would dare to move those high-ranking officials in the south?"

"Then why don't you say that he is flirting with a man, which is immoral?"

"That's Huo Qiye! What's wrong with the man? If I can win the favor of that young master, I will recognize the man too!"

"Haha..." The people around laughed loudly, and they all laughed and cursed: "Little toad, you are a toad who still wants to eat swan meat, you are beautiful!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't it mean that the young master embezzled a huge amount of stolen money? In my opinion, the character who can be with the third prince is not much better." A young man in a white bachelor's uniform said waving a fan.

The second brother was bringing the dishes to the table. When he heard this, he put the dishes on the table, and said with a sneer: "This master actually looks down on the third prince and Huo Qiye. Don't eat this free lunch today. Remember to give it to me later." Money! Don’t get cheap and act like a good boy!”

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter again, "That's reasonable, today is the third highness's treat, if anyone doesn't like it, just pay for it yourself."

"By the way, those who followed the third prince up just now look like the young masters of the Huo family."

"Huh... It seems true. I know that young master. I went to greet him at the gate of the city when he came back."

"Speaking of the Huo family, have you heard what happened yesterday?" Someone whispered.

"That matter... Who doesn't know, I heard that the Marshal was impeached this morning, hmph! Those civil servants like to gossip, and they will lead troops to fight if they have the ability!"

"Brother, do you believe in Marshal Huo?"

"Of course, the Huo family is a marshal's family, and the Huo family's army is our backbone. If even Marshal Huo can't be trusted, can we still sit here and eat and drink tea in peace?"

"But we don't know what happened in the northwest either!"

"That's not it. It is said that the one who sued the court is Marshal Huo's confidant. He risked his life to expose it. Maybe it's true."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I have a brother who is in the Huo family army. He said that our marshal is the most selfless. He never lags behind when he charges into battle, and never retreats when he kills the enemy. Their salary is also paid in time. There is no shortage How can you believe someone else's rumors?"

"That's right. The Huo family's army can achieve what it is today. I don't believe it if they collude with the barbarians. Marshal Huo's family lives in seclusion. There has never been any bullying. The family style is very good."

"As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance..."

"Hey, what do you mean by this guy? Could it be that you have enmity with the Huo family?"

"Just now we arranged for the third prince, and now even the masters of the Huo family are not spared. I think you are here to deliberately spread rumors, right?" When everyone heard this, they immediately glared at the man in white.

Everyone knows how the rumors started in the market. If there is no one behind the scenes to fuel the flames, it is absolutely impossible for everyone to know about the rumors in just one day.

Therefore, people who trust Marshal Huo will inevitably get angry when they hear someone say something that slanders him.

"I think he is. He looks like a dog. I can't imagine that he has such a vicious heart!"

"That's right, what good will Marshal Huo's downfall do you? Why don't you people think about the people in the northwest! Why don't you think that we can have a comfortable life because Huo's army fought so hard!"

The more the crowd talked, the more indignant they became, and then the two big men threw the young man out of the restaurant together, "Bah, it's better not to stay here and pollute the environment!"

In the private room upstairs, Teng Yu and the others listened with great interest.

They are all martial arts practitioners with sharp eyes and ears, and what happened downstairs has not escaped their ears.

"It seems that the public opinion is still on our side." Huo Yiming heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that some things cannot be explained clearly, and the clearing of the self-clearing does not apply to generals.

Throughout the ages, many military generals have been framed to death. They can say that the Huo family is collaborating with the enemy and traitorously with their mouths. How much effort and life did the Huo family put in for Daliang.

Not to mention, Huo Yiming's generation killed two brothers in battle. If it wasn't for the great Liang Jiangshan and the common people, why would they fight so hard?

If even the common people don't trust them, their hearts will be really cold.

Teng Yu frowned and shook his head, reminding him: "It's just the beginning, and it's normal for people not to believe it, but if the other party can produce more evidence, public opinion will slowly turn."

"Where do they have any evidence? But it's all empty talk, and even if there is, it's a fabrication."

"Is it important that the evidence is fabricated? Will the people go to the northwest to investigate? They will only believe what they see. Even if they think the evidence is false at first, as long as more people say it, it will become true. "

Huo Yiming frowned, and drank a glass of strong wine, "But father won't let you take the initiative to attack, it's too damn suffocating to be passively attacked like this."

Teng Yu poured him a glass of wine and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, the marshal has his own considerations, but the mastermind behind the scenes is doing his best, so it's not easy for us to prescribe the right medicine. We must wait for them to reveal their foxes." The tail is the best way to start."

Yin Xu was eating cakes, when he heard this, he raised his head and gave Teng Yu a white look. Before they got married, his elder brother called him, and he called him so naturally, with a thick skin.

Huo Yiming didn't pay attention to this appellation problem, he asked worriedly: "Then let them slander the Huo family's reputation? And in my opinion, even if the evidence is false, the emperor will take it as true."

Looking at the situation in the morning court today, we can see that they are sparing no effort to put the Huo family to death.

Teng Yu didn't say much, and changed the topic with a smile, "Today is a happy day, let's not talk about these annoying things, come, drink!"
