"The Ink of the Dengling Clan."
"The Mo Clan?"
When the supervisor heard Yang Siqi's words, his eyes widened.
"That's right, I am Brother Mo Jiazi." Yang Siqi said proudly.
Thanks to the Mo Clan's relentless promotion, the Mo Clan's image in Chang 'an was extremely good. Although the supervisor didn't know the difference between the Ink of the Dengling Clan and the Mo Clan, he didn't dare to be negligent and immediately went to report.
"The Mo Clan's talent is here. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you."
Not long after, the Junior Supervisor came out to greet them with joy.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It is my honor to be summoned by the supervisor!" Although Yang Siqi was arrogant, he was still a commoner. He was very humble in front of the supervisor.
"Brother Yang, this way please. The Minister has been waiting for you for a long time." The supervisor said impatiently after exchanging a few pleasantries.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Works.
The supervisor led Yang Siqi to the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, and said, "Sir, this person is one of the three branches of the Mo Clan, the descendant of the Ink of the Dengling Clan."
Yang Siqi knew that the person who would decide his fate was Duan Lun in front of him. He immediately knelt down without hesitation and said, "The 30th generation descendant of the Ink of the Dengling Clan, Yang Siqi, greets the Minister."
"The Ink of the Dengling Clan!"
Duan Lun's eyes couldn't help but flash. He quickly helped Yang Siqi up and said, "Please rise. The Ink of the Mo Clan is famous in the world. The Ministry of Works is also the holy land for craftsmen. The Ministry of Works can obtain the support of the Dengling Clan of the Mo Clan. This is the blessing of the people!"
Yang Siqi said respectfully, "To serve the Imperial Court is the lifelong wish of this commoner."
Seeing Yang Siqi's respectful attitude, Duan Lun and Junior Supervisor Jiang Zuo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. So what if the Mohists were skilled? They couldn't be used by the Ministry of Works. What they needed was someone as skilled as Yang Siqi, someone who was willing to be used by the Ministry of Works.
The supervisor said, "Brother Yang said that you are the 30th generation descendant of the Dengling Clan of the Mo Clan. May I know which generation Mo Jiazi is from?"
Yang Siqi said proudly, "According to my estimation, Mo Jiazi should be the thirty-first generation successor of the Xiangli clan. According to seniority, Mo Jiazi calling me Martial Uncle is not excessive."
The Junior Supervisor was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Yang Siqi to be able to suppress Meton in terms of seniority.
"There are two reasons why I'm here. Firstly, I'm here to accept the invitation of the Junior Supervisor to revive the Mo Family. Secondly, Mo Jiazi has stolen the title of the Great Son of the Mo Family. As one of the three lineages of the Mo Family, of course, I can't just sit back and do nothing. The reason I'm here is to seek justice for the world. I want to see if Mo Jiazi has the right to call himself the Great Son of the Mo Family …"
"Mo Jiazi stole the position of a magnate?"
Duan Lun and Junior Supervisor Jiang Zuo looked at Yang Siqi in surprise.
Yang Siqi said, "Every generation of the Great Son of the Mo Family has to be extremely skilled. Secondly, he has to have the support of the people and the approval of all three lineages of the Mo Family. The lineage of the Mo Family Village is only the successor of the Xiangli Clan. When did he gain the approval of my Dengling Clan and dare to call himself the Great Son of the Mo Family?"
"According to what I know, Meton's position as the Great Son of the Mo Family was spread by the Gongshu Clan when they came to the capital. However, Mo Jiazi has always denied it." Duan Lun frowned.
Yang Siqi sneered, "The world calls Meton as Mo Jiazi. Meton is just a kid. How can he be the Great Son of the Mo Family? Even if Mo Jiazi denies it, I'm afraid the world will still think that Mo Jiazi is the Great Son of the Mo Family. Mo Jiazi is trying to confuse the public. How can I just sit by and do nothing? "
The Junior Supervisor Jiang Zuo looked at Yang Siqi, tongue-tied. He clearly knew that the title of Mo Jiazi was not a compliment. However, as Mo Jiazi became famous in Chang 'an City, the title of Mo Jiazi gradually spread. But then again, the title of Mo Jiazi did have the meaning of confusing people.
In this era, those who could be called "Great Son" were all extraordinary figures. For example, Mo Jiazi, Laozi, Confucius, Han Feizi, and so on. Anyone who heard the title of "Great Son" for the first time would probably unconsciously mistake Meton for the Great Son of the Mo Family.
Duan Lun looked at Yang Siqi thoughtfully. This person came out of retirement to revive the Mo Family. He was probably coveting the position of the Great Son of the Mo Family.
Duan Lun did not care about this. Moreover, he was happy to see this person cause trouble for Mo Jiazi.
"I've heard that the sages of the School of Mohism once compiled their lifetime's knowledge into a secret book of Mohism. As the successor of the Dengling Clan, I wonder if the Dengling Clan has this book?" Duan Lun asked pointedly.
"Mozi's secret book!" Yang Siqi's heart skipped a beat.
With regards to this book, he naturally heard of it like thunder. In his opinion, Mo Jiazi's great achievements were due to Mozi's secret book. However, it was very regrettable that there was not a single mention of it in his Dengling Family. Of course, Yang Siqi could not say that he did not know. Otherwise, he would have no value in front of Duan Lun.
Yang Siqi's expression instantly changed to one of righteous indignation. "This book is the most precious treasure of the Mo Family. It has always been controlled by the Great Son of the Mo Family. Ever since the third Great Son, Tian Xiangzi, there has been no trace of it. Presumably, the Xiangli Family's Qin Mo took advantage of the chaos of the Qin Family to seize the opportunity to seize it for themselves. Only then did it reach Mo Jiazi's hands. This is also one of the important reasons why I came out of retirement. Mozi's secret book is owned by the entire Mo Family. How can it be owned by the Xiangli Family alone?"
Hearing this, Duan Lun was somewhat convinced. When the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Qin Mo's contributions were not negligible. He had always been active in various battlefields. It was very possible that he had seized the opportunity to obtain Mozi's secret book.
Although Yang Siqi had the ambition to obtain Mozi's secret book, he had also indirectly justified the existence of Mozi's secret book for Meton.
Junior Supervisor Jiang frowned. "Mo Jiazi is just a little kid. With the help of Mo Jiazi's secret book, he was able to obtain such great merits. Such a precious treasure, how can Mo Jiazi be willing to hand it over?"
Duan Lun also nodded solemnly. Putting himself in Yang Siqi's shoes, if he had such a treasure, he would definitely not hand it over so easily. Although Mo Jiazi claimed that Mozi's secret book had been lost, who would believe it?
Yang Siqi said proudly. "Mo Jiazi is naturally unwilling to hand it over. However, what if the Great Son of the Mo Family forced him to hand it over?"
"Great Son of the Mo Family?" The two of them were puzzled.
"Thus, in order to obtain Mozi's secret book, one must obtain the position of Great Son of the Mo Family. I would like to ask Lord Duan to be the witness for the Mo Family and let the Dengling Family and Xiangli Family compete using their Mo Skills. Whoever wins will become the new Great Son of the Mo Family. "Yang Siqi revealed his ultimate goal.
Duan Lun and Duan Lun wanted to use him to obtain Mozi's secret book. How could he, Yang Siqi, not use the influence of the Ministry of Works to obtain the position of Great Son of the Mo Family?
"This …!" Duan Lun hesitated.
After all, the Mo Family was one of the most prominent schools in the world. They were developing rapidly. Mo Jiazi was also deeply favored by the Emperor. More importantly, Mo Jiazi was not a kind person. His reputation as a little catfish was not undeserved. He had a sharp tongue. If the Taiyuan Wang Family was bitten by him, it would be a heart-wrenching pain.
"If this one obtains the position of Great Son of the Mo Family, I will definitely present Mozi's secret book to Lord Duan. In the future, the Mo Family will definitely follow the lead of the Ministry of Works." Yang Siqi gritted his teeth and said.
Duan Lun's heart skipped a beat. He laughed and said, "Why would this official covet the Mo Family's secret book? If you were to present it, it would be to the imperial court."
Yang Siqi lowered his head and said obediently, "This one also has the same intention."
Duan Lun laughed and said, "Since this is an internal dispute of the Mo Family, there is no harm in me being a witness. However, this one must also have a consummate skill. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. That would not be good."
Yang Siqi said proudly, "Rest assured, Lord Duan. Although the Dengling Family has lost Mozi's secret book, they have not been idle for the past thousand years. Not to mention other things, just based on the Mo Family's art of mechanisms, this one has never met a match."
Yang Siqi had come prepared. He quickly brought out the skills that he had prepared.
Duan Lun and Junior Supervisor Jiang Zuo were shocked.
