Which department?
Jun Mo Xie was very interested in this sort of matter. Recalling his memories, he remembered that this Zhao Cheng Song’s family circumstances were only average at best. He indeed did possess a talent for learning but he was power hungry. Externally, he gave off the bearing of an aloof gentleman, but internally, was in fact just compliant trash.
Back then, both Tang Yuan and him competed against one another to win the favor of the young lady from the Grand Preceptor Li’s Family. But, at the end of the day, none of the noble ladies took a fancy to him. So how could it be that Tang Yuan would suddenly turn so generous as to take this sort of person in? It was simply not the way Tang Yuan did things!
I first had him placed into the Ministry of State Revenue, then had my uncle find faults with him and had him transferred. After he had transferred several times, his current duty is to rub my back every time I take a bath and wash my laundry every day. The clothes of my lesser concubines are also his responsibility! Besides that, he has no other duties!
Tang Yuan laughed viciously.
If he had remained stubborn and quiet until the end, then I would have let it go and stopped tormenting him. But this spineless guy actually tried to act all high and mighty in front of me saying things like ‘scholar with distinguished and admirable reputation’. Pui! That son of a bitch! Since he wanted to tear out the skirts in the Grand Preceptor Li’s Residence, I will just let him wash skirts every day!
Tang Yuan’s uncle was the Outer Minister for the Ministry of State Revenue. Something like demoting a new person was something easily done.
Pfft!
Jun Mo Xie spat out a mouthful of tea onto Tang Yuan’s face and coughed.
Your uncle really listens to your words! Eldest Young Master Tang, don’t you think that what you did was a little too much? No matter how you look at it, he was still a gifted scholar, and a graduate of Wenxing Institute of Knowledge to boot, a person with some capabilities. This kind of action is simply too insulting…
Too insulting? Third Young Master, I find these words of yours disagreeable. What kind of qualifications do those people have? They are nothing more than a bunch of bookworms! So what if all they had learnt was the heavenly way of bringing peace and prosperity to the country?
They are only capable of discussing it on paper, never having the desire to use it, letting it rot in them! Having a great deal of knowledge does not equate having a great deal of ability; most importantly, it does not equate having a great character! With just a glib mouth, how can one be considered a talent?
These men have no significance at all! Wenxing Institute of Knowledge? Nothing but an exaggeration! In this long history of Tianxiang Kingdom, how many famed people did the Wenxing Institute produce? Pui!
Tang Yuan let out a small laugh and patted Jun Mo Xie on the shoulder.
Third Young Master, neither of us can be considered good people.
Hold it! What do you mean ‘neither of us can be considered good people’?
Listening to Tang Yuan, Jun Mo Xie had originally agreed with him multiple times, secretly applauding. He deeply agreed with this perspective; when those students who graduated with top scores from the examination-oriented schools had just entered the workforce, they would be nothing when compared to the once-mature social elites in practice. It seems that no matter what place, there some things that are similar.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yuan actually possessed such a kind of perspective. As Jun Mo Xie was feeling refreshed from hearing those words, Tang Yuan had unexpectedly managed to change the subject eloquently, causing him to feel shocked. The difference between those two subjects was as vast as the difference between Heaven and Earth, North, and South. This difference was simply too astonishing.
Haha… what I meant was, neither one of us are good men,
Tang Yuan laughed out.
But, no matter how wicked we may be, even if we are to go out and purposely do harm every day, how many people in this vast city can we harm? A thousand people would already be considered an accomplished number, don’t you think?
However, look at Zhao Chengsong, a spineless bastard without a single bit of character in him. If someone like him were to be appointed as an official, then one wicked action from him will be enough to cause harm to countless commoners! Not to mention, even after causing such a calamity, he could have easily just moved away to another place and continued repeating his actions.
As long as the royal court does not get rid him, he would continue causing harm to others! By the time he gets dealt with, how many people would have already been harmed by him? If we were to compare him with the two of us combined, which one would be truly evil?
Tang Yuan suddenly became resentful after saying all that.
That is why this senior would choose to humiliate those shameless things! Gifted Scholars? They are nothing but a bunch of gifted sons of bitches! At any rate, anyone who dares to claim to be a gifted scholar in front of this senior will be flattened to their death! As long as these hypocritical gifted scholars fall into my hands, they can forget ever escaping my grasp!
Jun Mo Xie laughed loudly.
Well said, Fatty Tang. This must be the first agreeable thing that I had heard from you! Well said indeed! Just by what you have said earlier, I shall toast this cup to you!
This toast was one Jun Mo Xie had given truthfully from the bottom of his heart. Tang Yuan’s words just now have won over Jun Mo Xie’s heart. For Jun Mo Xie who had transmigrated over, a man of two worlds, the number of people that qualified for Jun Mo Xie’s toast were probably no more than three. For Tang Yuan to be able to receive this toast from Jun Mo Xie showed how much fortune he has! Tang Yuan was the first person to receive a toast from Jun Mo Xie in this world!
After having drunk down this cup, it meant that Jun Mo Xie had already approved of Tang Yuan! Even though he was a debauchee, he was a true villain with true character!
Jun Mo Xie had always acted on his whims.
Even if someone he favored were to be condemned by everyone, he would still drink together with that person.
Even if someone he disliked were to be applauded as a saint by everyone, he would still ignore that person!
At this moment, Fatty Tang has no understanding towards the extent of value that this cup of wine contained. Naturally, he would never have predicted that due to this cup of wine, he would be able to survive from several calamities! He would be saved from situations of life and death by Jun Mo Xie! However, that story would come later.
Tang Yuan gulped down the cup of wine in one go, his small eyes gazing around.
I know what type of person I am, my looks aren’t good, gambling is my favorite, fighting makes me feel good, and bullying people even more so, when I see beautiful ladies, I must say some flowery words to relieve my boredom. I have a bad heart, but I also have the courage to be bad!
I am a bad guy, but I am one who does bad things in broad daylight! As the saying goes, when a lady is beautiful, everyone would turn their heads. If a woman is beautiful, everyone would want to look at her longer. If you do not let us look at you, then is there any damned reason to you being born so beautiful? If some beautiful lady from some damned good family notices me looking at them like this, they would surely run away and hide.
On the other hand, I too will have no interest in pursuing a clear dead-end. But those who choose to continue standing there to tempt me even after seeing the way I look at them, can they be considered good? And yet, they actually dared to tell others that I am a detestable, unforgivable baddie!
Look at those hypocrites; when they see a beautiful lady, they would quickly lower their heads to bow, showing a look of virtue and piousness. But after the lady turned away, they would quickly raise their heads to stare at that lady’s big ass while salivating, secretly desiring fleshly pleasures! Pui! That is a gifted scholar for you! A gifted scholar with nothing but a dick for brains! I yearn for the day I can eradicate all such gifted scholars!
After having vented his opinions, Fatty Tang became depressed, pouring one cup of wine after another, gulping each one down without reserve. His hands never stopped moving as he consumed more wine. Even though the wine was light and weak in strength, the amount he was consuming linked with his sadness and caused him to start becoming drunk. His eyes became vacant as his head swayed back and forth, eventually, he was unable to tolerate it and end up falling face first into a bowl of hot fish soup. He then wailed and woke up with a start!
Jun Mo Xie looked at Tang Yuan who had fish soup dripping from his face and made up his mind.
Since I have decided to have Qin Hu and his son dealt with, I might as well let the Tang Family handle it. With consideration of how desperate Tang Wan Li is, he would surely rather have a thousand innocents die than let go of one criminal… Not to mention my current state of strength is still lacking and the men I am training still cannot be sent out.
If Grandpa were to come out to do it, it would cause a big ruckus… Very well! I shall do it like this! This is the only way to successfully resolve this important matter! Pui! Getting rid of a bunch of garbage cannot even be considered an important matter!
Jun Mo Xie did not want to mobilize the Jun Family forces for one reason: Xuan Core! The Xuan Core was a terrifyingly vast whirlpool of problems. Even though Qin Hu’s expression was not enough to guarantee that he was connected to the theft of the Xuan Core, should it ever happen that he was connected to the theft, if the Jun Family were to act with exterminating Northern City Clan, it would be equal to admitting their guilt in this matter?
This would be like ending up in a pit of mud for the whole world to see. The Tang Family, on the other hand, have no such concerns.
Fatty Tang, since we have eaten our fill, what do you say we get a change of scenery? I feel that the Red Joy Establishment is quite clean and quiet. What do you think?
Jun Mo Xie was obviously intending to do something evil, but instead, put on a pious appearance.
Red Joy Establishment? That is certainly a clean and quiet place, a very very good place, haha…
Tang Yuan’s eyes brightened and he emerged from his drunken stupor, his face twisting with desire.
Hahaha, Third Young Master… you are a true friend indeed. Come, come, come! Let’s head there immediately! It just so happened that these few days have caused me no small amount of frustration, I am truly in the need of a clean and quiet place…
He impatiently stood up, his fat belly falling all the way down to his thigh.
Jun Mo Xie Xie observed Tang Yuan with a straight face and wondered inwardly.He was having a hard time imagining how he intended on proceeding after entering the Red Joy Establishment. Could it be that he would use both hands to prop up his belly? But if he does not, it would be really hard to proceed. What a headache…
