C310 I'll be Defeated by the Palace I will be Proud of Meeting Ye
Ji Mao hugged his thigh firmly.
Ye Xun was satisfied, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel curious!
What was the reason that made the Office of Rites Ji Mao, who held a quarter of the authority in the Imperial Court, be willing to pay such a huge price?
In this world, there was no such thing as hugging someone's thigh for no reason!
Hugging someone's thigh had to have his motives.
Just like Xi Huanqian back then, he hugged Ye Xun's thigh for money!
The Three Divine Constables earlier had been arrogant and respectful for the sake of their future.
But why was this Ji Mao doing this?
Money. Ji Mao was the chief eunuch of the Office of Rites, and the Chisheng Kingdom would never be short of money!
Future?
His personal status had already reached the limit, and there was no way for him to rise.
Could it be for...
As he thought in his heart, Ye Xun's gaze subtly swept across Ji Mao's crotch!
Although this thought was rather absurd.
However, Ye Xun still had a calm expression on his face.
"Eunuch Ji Mao is really bold!"
"Heavenly Secrets is both an opportunity and a risk."
"I wonder if that expert of the Heavenly Fortune Path has mentioned the risk behind Heavenly Secrets to Eunuch Ji Mao?"
Ye Xun said in a flat tone.
Upon hearing this, Ji Mao's heart instantly tensed up!
Both sides had almost reached an agreement.
Now, there was only the most critical problem!
Teacher Ye wanted to know what kind of problem the Office of Rites, or Ji Mao, had encountered.
That was why they chose to cling onto the thigh of an unfamiliar master teacher!
Even though the conversation between the two of them had always revolved around the existence of a mysterious expert of the Heavenly Fortune Path.
However, as experts, Ji Mao and Ye Xun were actually in the middle of a negotiation of interests!
This time, Ji Mao thought for a long time.
Ye Xun was not in a hurry at all. He calmly waited for Ji Mao's reply.
A moment later, Ji Mao raised his head and revealed an expression of reminiscence.
"This servant vaguely remembers that that day, that master of the Heavenly Fortune Path even sent this servant a sentence!"
"This sentence is called 'meeting the Palace and decline!'"
"Yes, it is like this, meeting the Palace and decline, meeting the Ye Rong!"
Ji Mao's expression when he spoke was no different from a person who remembered the past.
But if one looked closely, there was actually a trace of apprehension in his eyes.
That's right. Office of Rites, no, it should be him, Ji Mao. He had indeed encountered trouble!
Not long ago, he had offended the Chisheng Normal Academy's Dean Gong without knowing about it.
To Ji Mao, this was like a bolt out of the blue!
Don't think that he was a big shot in the court.
But that was purely because the other teachers did not come down. They were just watching the competition in the royal court!
If the Chisheng Normal Academy really wanted to step forward and participate...
They would probably be able to directly treat the previous generations of the King of Crimson Victory as puppets!
After knowing that he had accidentally offended Dean Gong.
Ji Mao nearly collapsed on the spot.
He went to the Chisheng Normal Academy time and time again to pay a visit to Gong Juren in an attempt to apologize for his crimes!
However, Gong Juren did not even shake him off.
He directly shut the door behind Ji Mao.
Most of the teachers were aloof and aloof, looking down on castrated people like Ji Mao.
If it was the Civil Official Faction in the Imperial Court who accidentally offended Gong Juren.
They were like Ji Mao, expressing their willingness to apologize, perhaps Gong Juren would forgive them.
After all, the Civil Official Faction was basically made up of Confucian scholar.
There were too many similarities between the Confucian scholar and the master.
To the master teachers, the Confucian scholar could be considered half of their own.
It was different from a eunuch like Ji Mao.
Therefore, after knowing that Gong Juren would not forgive him, Ji Mao had actually been on tenterhooks during this period of time!
He thought of ways to resolve this crisis.
However, Gong Juren's position was too high!
Even if the current king, Wende Emperor, was willing to protect him, he could not do it!
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Ye Xun appeared!
This allowed Ji Mao to see the hope of preserving his life!
If Ye Xun was also a master teacher, he would be willing to protect Ji Mao.
Then he, Ji Mao, might be able to escape the danger.
"He has fallen because of the palace!"
"This is not a good divination!"
Ye Xun said meaningfully when he heard this.
Ji Mao nodded with a bitter expression on his face.
"That's right, this isn't a good divination!"
"Initially, this servant did not believe it and even forgot about this sentence."
"But now that I think about it, perhaps this sentence has already come true."
"Not long ago, this servant's Office of Rites received news that there were devil cultivators massacring the common people."
"This servant brought the subordinates of the Office of Rites to investigate... but who would have thought that the result would be so shocking!"
"This was not done by any devil cultivator at all. It was caused by a great figure surnamed Gong..."
"Although this servant is very indignant about this, the background of this great figure surnamed Gong is really too great. This servant... Sigh!"
When Ji Mao said this, he could not help but sigh.
Not long ago, in order to resolve the Awakening Lone Star Poison's backlash, Gong Juren had suffered misfortune.
Blood sacrifice to the tens of thousands of poor people provided by the Shan family!
Such a large-scale massacre naturally could not be hidden from the Office of Rites who had received the spy, Chi Sheng.
Ji Mao was greedy, cherished his life, and fawned over others. Indeed, he was not a good person.
However, there was one thing that was worthy of praise.
That was, as a eunuch, he still attached great importance to the people.
Even though Ji Mao was one of the three thousand child molesters in the past.
But he was also born in a poor family.
Otherwise, why would he be sold into the Palace by his family?
Because of this, when Ji Mao faced the poor people, he more or less kept the conscience in his heart.
Tens of thousands of poor people being slaughtered, this was not a small matter.
When Ji Mao heard the news, he was extremely furious!
He ordered Office of Rites to investigate this matter thoroughly.
But it would be fine if they didn't investigate, but once they did, something big would happen!
All the clues and spearheads were actually pointed at the dean of the Chisheng Normal Academy, Gong Juren!
The heck, this was simply piercing through the heavens!
A dignified 9-star master teacher, Gong Juren, was actually massacring the poor?
After learning of the results, Ji Mao was both shocked and fearful.0
He didn't dare to continue the investigation!
This result was too shocking.
Even if the Office of Rites told the truth, the world wouldn't believe it.
On one side was the highly respected Dean of the academy, Gong Juren.
On the other side was the infamous Office of Rites!
Who the f * ck would believe the investigation results of the Office of Rites?
Most importantly, even if he presented the evidence he obtained during the investigation to Wende Emperor, it would be useless.
Wende Emperor could not deal with Gong Juren!
Gong Juren's status was much higher than the king's!
To offend a master teacher for the sake of tens of thousands of lowly commoners?
Wende Emperor would only do such a thing if his brain had gone haywire!
Furthermore, even if Wende Emperor was determined to seek justice for the poor, the royal family's master teacher elder would not allow him to do so.
If he were to anger Nine Star Famous Teacher, the empire would not be able to protect itself.
Isn't it more important than some lowly commoners?
As a member of the palace, Ji Mao naturally knew about this.
Therefore, he took the initiative to apologize to Gong Juren.
However, Gong Juren could do nothing about it.
This made Ji Mao unable to back down.
In the depths of his heart, Ji Mao naturally sympathized with those poor people who died tragically. He wanted to seek justice for them!
But Gong Juren was also an existence that he could not afford to offend.
It could be said that during this period of time, Ji Mao had lived a life as long as a year.
He didn't even know how he managed to survive!
