< Today's Eruption! >
Besides, Jun Moxie's suspicions had already been confirmed. So, there was no need to confirm anything. All the suspicions were pointing in the same direction. Jun Moxie only needed an opportunity!
"Another thing is that you, Jun Moxie, are very dangerous, and the Jun Family's strength is strong enough. However, the Jun Family's strength has been scattered over the years. The world is at peace, and there aren't many big wars. So, you may not have the opportunity to make contributions even if you want to. At most, you'll become another Jun Zhan Tian. We can bear it, and we're happy to fight with you like this. Only when the civil and military are balanced can the country be at peace. However, your Jun Family's strength has soared since the war with the Southern Heaven City. This speed of ascension was simply … terrifying! The Jun Family's strength would've increased by several folds if you had been fully fledged! "
"Tian Xiang's Emperor will be neither a subject nor a subject at that time!" Mei Gao Jie smiled bitterly. But, his face was full of pride as he smiled, "This old man is an old minister of Tian Xiang. My entire life has been dedicated to the Tian Xiang Empire from the time I was a child until now. This Old Man will never allow the Jun Family to shake the foundation of Tian Xiang! I will fight with my life even if I have to die! "
"So, that's how it is!" Jun Moxie narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "But, I haven't done anything. So, why is Master Mei so sure that I will destroy the Tian Xiang Empire?"
"Young Master, you know this the best. So, why are you asking such a question?" Mei Gao Jie sneered, "Young Master Jun is a peerless genius. Why have you been a debauchee for ten years? Why have you endured for ten years if your Xuan cultivation is so exquisite? You have pretended to be a fool, destroyed your reputation, and become notorious. So, why? Young Master hasn't flown for ten years. But, you've soared to the sky. You haven't cried for ten years. But, when you cry, you've shaken the world. You have no respect for the Emperor. Why? "
"He he … there's another reason for this. The Old Man says that he knows me well. But, he's mistaken about this." Jun Moxie smiled bitterly. This old man's eyesight, talent, and knowledge were indeed unique. However, the previous Mo Xie was a true scum. But ever since his rise, the previous silkpants had become a legend in the eyes of the world.
Jun Moxie was equivalent to a legend who had endured hardships to gain courage?! How ironic! If the original Mo Xie knew about this, he would probably die from shock again even if he became a ghost …
"This old man can guess a thing or two about Young Master's reason. However, this isn't the time to discuss this matter. "Mei Gao Jie smiled and waved his hand.
"One last question. I'm afraid that just the two of you alone wouldn't be able to stir up such a huge storm. I'm sure there's another expert behind this. Although the two elders were scheming, they were not such despicable people. There must be someone else involved in this matter. If this Young Master's guess is correct, it should be someone from Shen Ci and Yu Tang, right? "
Jun Moxie's eyes revealed a sharp glint: "You colluded with them to frame the Jun Family, a pillar of the Imperial Court. This is tantamount to treason! Why? I asked you to give me an explanation when I first came here. Can you give me an explanation now?! "
"Ha ha ha … treason? This is the most ridiculous thing in the world. "Mei Gao Jie laughed heartily:" The Jun Family, the Dugu Family, and the Mu Rong Family. We've been preparing our troops for many years, and we'll be able to protect our borders. The Jun Family's destruction will cause chaos in Tian Xiang at most. Even if the two great empires take advantage of this opportunity to invade Tian Xiang, we'll be able to withstand it with our many years of accumulation. In fact, we won't be able to change dynasties even if we're defeated! But, you, Jun Moxie, can't avoid such a rebellious matter if you're fully fledged! The survival of Tian Xiang and this temporary chaos … it's obvious which is more important. So, there's no need to ask which choice we'll make! "
"Elder Mei, please pay attention." Jun Moxie Lengleng looked at this old man. His eyes couldn't hide his biting cold: "Your inference may be reasonable. But, it's only an inference! It's two different things from the truth! And, you've used such an inference to harm the Jun Family! You've hurt the Empire's former protector! Don't you think that you've gone too far? Have you ever thought about how many people will die because of your unproven inference? "
"Perhaps you have a grudge against the Jun Family, or perhaps you don't like me. But, these things can't cover up the fact that you've distorted the truth to attack us. And, your inference is only your own opinion. You don't have any evidence. Most importantly, you've insulted a good woman who didn't hesitate to sacrifice her innocence to repay a debt of gratitude! And, you clearly know that she's innocent! She has nothing to do with this matter!
"You clearly know that this woman lost her chastity because of me, Jun Moxie. But, she's still as pure as ever! And, you also know that my Third Uncle adopted her as his daughter. She's no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jun Family. She's no longer the sister-in-law of Jun Moxie. But, you've still clung to her original identity in the midst of your attacks! And, you've still done so. So, I want to ask … Are a woman's reputation and happiness something that can be abandoned, trampled, and used at will in the eyes of great scholars like you? Are you willing to sacrifice anyone in your eyes to achieve your goals? I want to know … What is the righteousness and righteousness that you great scholars have always advocated? "
Jun Moxie's tone was as biting cold as a knife as he continued to ask questions.
Mei Gao Jie raised his head arrogantly. However, he wasn't willing to back down, "This kind of thing is very common. And, I don't care to explain it! But, I'll make an exception since Young Master Jun has asked. She's only a woman. But, even a princess of the Kingdom must be prepared to sacrifice herself for the country in this cruel political struggle! Sacrificing a woman in exchange for the peace of the world is a very worthwhile thing! Great profit without any capital! Why not? So what if she's innocent? She's only a woman; that's all! "
"Your Excellency Mei, don't you think that these words of yours are very shameless?" Jun Moxie sneered, "What if it was your own daughter? What if it was your wife? Would you have done the same? "
"Yes! This is how it should be. It's a matter of heaven and earth! This old man doesn't have anything to be reluctant about. Sacrificing one's life for the country is an honor for them. This old man wouldn't hesitate to put righteousness before family if Guan Qing Han were my daughter. In fact, I would even punish her with my own hands! "Mei Gao Jie raised his head arrogantly. His words were resolute and decisive. He didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation. In fact, he was proud of sacrificing his life!
Jun Moxie was so angry that he started to laugh. He finally understood that his thoughts and the thoughts of these great Confucian scholars were actually completely different! Perhaps, this old man could argue with him on this issue for a year. And, he would still be able to speak with justice and conviction.
"Then, let me ask you … Did you feel a little bit guilty when you did this?" Jun Moxie suppressed his churning blood and Qi.
"What a joke! This matter is a matter of heaven and earth. What's the point of feeling guilty? Women are like clothes. What's wrong with throwing them away? " Mei Gao Jie looked at Jun Moxie with extreme disdain, "I thought that you were a man of character. But, I hadn't expected that you would be so sentimental. Jun Moxie, this old man will warn you before I die. A woman's beauty is not related to a great plan. A hero's greatest taboo is sentimentality. Don't let this old man look down on you! "
"It's my fault! What you said just now had given me the illusion that I was a close friend. I shouldn't have told you about this matter. " Jun Moxie retreated in defeat. He shook his head and laughed, "I've never been sentimental. But, even the country can't touch my people. Sir Mei, this is another reason why I've come to find you today. And, this reason is something that you'll never be able to imagine.
"Mei Gao Jie, you have a bellyful of righteousness and righteousness. But, a person like you will never understand the perseverance of a man. Therefore, you may succeed in politics, but you'll never become a man. Frankly speaking, you're a surrendering party in my eyes. And, that includes your disciples. Not to mention those who didn't enter the imperial court, those who did are all shameless and unscrupulous people! "
"Nonsense!" Mei Gao Jie became angry. He had students all over the world. This was Mei Gao Jie's greatest achievement. He was also his greatest pride. Seeing his disciples all over the world was his greatest comfort. No matter what Jun Mo Xie said to him, he wouldn't be moved. He would just laugh it off. But now that this matter had been brought up, it had triggered his reverse scale. This white-haired old man instantly became as agitated as a fighting cock!
"Which one of my disciples isn't a pillar of the empire? Nineteen of them have become the empire's feudal officials. They've brought grace to the four seas, and they've brought prosperity to the people. They've become the empire's pillars. Jun Moxie, you're just a good-for-nothing. What qualifications do you have to talk about my disciples? They're the empire's outstanding talents! "
The old man stood up. His face was flushed with excitement. His fingers were also trembling.
"Sit down! Old man, why are you so excited? This Young Master has overestimated your disciples by saying that they're trash. Trash can be recycled and reused. They don't even have this value. " Jun Moxie sneered. He turned his palm over, "Mei Gao Jie, open your old eyes wide. Take a good look at the political achievements of your disciples. They've brought prosperity to the four seas!"
A thin booklet appeared in his hand, and he threw it towards Mei Gao Jie.
Mei Gao Jie was startled as soon as he received it. He suspiciously looked at Jun Moxie. Then, he slowly read it.
On it, it really was the 'glorious achievements' of his disciples!
A certain year, month, and day … a certain disciple used his authority to bully a certain wealthy merchant. He demanded a certain amount of bribes. A certain day … he forcefully took the daughter of that merchant as a concubine. He hounded her parents to death …
Then, this disciple had violated the law. There were a great number of incidents. There were no less than dozens of them. And, each and every one of these incidents was well-documented. There were witnesses and material evidence. There was no doubt about it.
Then, there was another incident …
Every incident had a clear date of investigation. But, the date of the investigation was different as well. Some pages had yellowed, and the edges of the pages had curled up.
These pieces of evidence were hard to refute. Perhaps, it wouldn't be enough to sentence these guys to death by dismemberment a hundred times if they were to be punished in accordance with these incidents.
Mei Gao Jie flipped through several pages. Then, his hand trembled, and the booklet fell on the table with a 'clatter'.
