Many, upon seeing Chu Heng, showed a hint of peculiarity in their eyes, and after he passed by, quietly fell back to discuss with their close friends.
Huo Zhengming observed this, sighed with concern, and said, "Zi Qiu, why are you clashing with Grand Tutor Deng again? There's a rumor going around that you're contending with Grand Tutor Deng over a shop, and so you went to the palace to accuse him."
