The big man has a living father

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Yang Liancheng turned to look at Huo Hai and bowed: "Second Young Master, I have been eating and living with you for a month, and the cost of food and lodging should not exceed 100 strings of cash. There are some small things I made in the room, which should be enough to cover the cost."

"Juzi Juzi, to be more precise, he should be called Yinmo Juzi. Since he has been discovered, there is no need for him to live. As for the Mohist School, it had already been passed down before I came."

Yang Liancheng bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. As for the wooden track carriage, I'm afraid you'll have to figure it out yourself."

When facing people other than Lu Ban's descendants, Yang Liancheng was quite polite and courteous, and looked a little weaker than Gong Yangru. But a person who is ready to die bravely is definitely not a weak person.

Chen An was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Liancheng, then raised his head to look at the sky.

This world is no longer the same as the Warring States Period.

Although the Mohist skills were passed down and the word "rules" remained in the world forever, the Mohist school really declined.

But when he lowered his head, Chen An was stunned again.

The Mohist school has declined, is the Ban school still very powerful?
It's just the same.

Huangfu Hua and Xiang Xu were already on alert.

If Yang Liancheng wanted to end his own life and the young master wanted to save others, then Huangfu Hua would rush forward.

But Huo Hai looked at Yang Liancheng and said, "Why bother?"

The Mohists were actually forced to hide themselves.

At the beginning, the Mohist school was divided into three parts: Qin Mo, Chu Mo, and Qi Mo.

Simply put, Qin Mo was good at technology, and their ideal was to pass on the Mohist technology, so they helped the Qin State do a lot of things, such as assembly line production, which was their work and was liquidated after the fall of Qin.

Qi Mo liked to fight with other schools and liked to debate, but unfortunately "facts cannot speak louder than words". Qi Mo did not make a name for himself, lost his voice in the court, and was often blamed.

Chu Mo, on the other hand, likes to be a chivalrous knight by taking practical actions.

In fact, Chu Mo was destroyed by Liu Che himself a few years ago.

There was a man named Guo Jie in the past. He was the last real knight-errant and might also be the prototype of the later hero Guo Jing.

Later in the history of the Han and Jin Dynasties, those who called themselves knights were actually small-time scoundrels and gangsters who were incapable of chivalrous deeds. They only had the appearance of knights but not the substance of one.

And this Guo Jie was moved by Emperor Wu of Han to build Maoling.

General Wei Qing went to persuade Liu Che that "Guo Jie's family is not powerful and does not have the money to build Maoling."

Liu Che: "Can an ordinary person have the power to let the general speak for him? It seems that he is a powerful person."

Guo Jie was still transferred to Maoling. In order to allow him to move, the local people raised a huge sum of money, tens of millions of yuan, which shows that he was deeply loved by the people.

However, the so-called capture of Maoling was just an illusion, and Liu Che actually wanted Guo Jie to die.

When Guo Jie moved his family to Ling County near Maoling, the wise and heroic men in Guanzhong, regardless of whether they knew Guo Jie before or not, now heard of his reputation and all vied to become good friends with him.

Guo Jie, this short man, never drank alcohol, never rode a horse when going out, and always behaved very well. Emperor Wu had no way to deal with him.

But there is no ranger who doesn’t kill people.

There was a man named Yang Jizhu, whose son was the one who nominated Guo Jie to be executed at Maoling. After Guo Jie left, Guo Jie's brother killed Yang Jizhu's son.

The two sides became enemies, and later when Yang Jizhu came to his house, Guo Jie killed him.

So the imperial court issued a warrant for the arrest of Guo Jie, and Guo Jie ran away.

Actually, things were fine up to this point. After all, in this era, it was normal to resort to violence over a disagreement, let alone being falsely accused of being a tyrant and being held against such a huge grudge.

Even the officials in the court said nothing.

But then something happened that completely changed the nature of the matter.

When Guo Jie fled, he was accompanied by his retainers.

One day, this retainer was having dinner at a county government office and heard a scholar scolding Guo Jie, saying that Guo Jie was a crappy knight who killed people indiscriminately and liked to break the law and commit crimes, and that he was not a virtuous man.

Guo Jie's followers killed the scholar and cut off his tongue.

The county magistrate sent someone to ask Guo Jie, but Guo Jie didn't know about this and said he didn't know.

This matter reached the court, and the Imperial Censor Gongsun Hong said, "Guo Jie used his civilian identity to play tricks and kill people for trivial matters. Guo Jie himself didn't know it, and this crime is more serious than killing people himself. Sentence Guo Jie to the crime of high treason."

As a result, Guo Jie's entire clan was exterminated.

Most people simply cannot understand this matter, have no idea what is going on, and cannot figure out the context.

But the superficial reason for this matter is actually the real reason.

Liu Che just wanted to express one thing to the people of the world, that is, to be a knight and play the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

As for the reasons behind it, it is even simpler.

Because Liu Bang was a knight-errant.

People in later generations thought that Liu Bang was a small-time punk, but he was not.

First of all, Liu Bang was the local sheriff, and secondly, he was a well-known knight-errant, which meant he was a man who could do both good and bad things.

He, the gangster boss, was not the kind of gangster trash in later generations, but a chivalrous man who killed people and set fires, but he only killed those who deserved to be killed and set fires that deserved to be set.

Although Liu Bang's talent of lying on the ground and having the beautiful boss see a dragon in him is not something most people have, but imagine that a person with a good reputation and extremely popular people exists in Chang'an, how can the emperor feel at ease?
Although Liu Banglong and Youxia can charm both men and women, Guo Jie's ability to charm men is also quite scary!
You have to know that Liu Bang has done this once and has a successful case to guide him.

Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, while knights use force to violate the law. Is the emperor really afraid of knights using force to disrupt the law? What he is afraid of is that the reputation of the chivalrous and righteous man will go from being the big brother of one area to the big brother of the whole world.

This is not a groundless worry. The earliest founder of the legion that overthrew Wang Mang was Liu Xiu's eldest brother, and Liu Xiu's eldest brother was a character similar to a knight.

With Liu Bang’s case as a warning, Guo Jie must die.

And the death must be miserable.

And the death must be distinctive, the kind that will be recorded in history books and remembered forever.

However, Guo Jie is not only a ranger, but also the last spiritual successor of Chu Mo.

After Guo Jie's death, all three sects fell silent.

This marked the complete transformation of the Mohist School into an underground school, which could no longer be exposed. The three Mohists were: the lackeys who helped the tyrannical Qin, the inferior scholar who caused chaos in the six kingdoms, and the knight-errant who killed his entire family.

With this case in mind, Yang Liancheng didn't want to live at all.

Because Yang Liancheng was not sure whether his whole family would die if he wanted to live.

It’s like if Guo Jie hadn’t escaped and died a few years ago, then nothing would have happened later and his clan wouldn’t have been exterminated.

Yang Liancheng didn't even want to wait for Liu Che to charge him with a crime. Yang Liancheng wanted to die right now.

He even tried to provoke Chen An to take action so that he could take one away with him.

But Huo Hai only had one thing to say: "Why bother?"

Yang Liancheng actually didn't want to do that. He also didn't want his skills to sink into the ground with him.

Didn't he come here to be a retainer just to find out whether Huo Hai was a descendant of Mohism?

It would be great if Huo Hai was a descendant of Mohism.

The nephew of the general, the younger brother of the general of cavalry, the relative of the future crown prince, and the most romantic young man in Chang'an.

If Huo Hai became a great man, the Mohist school would have hope of making a comeback.

But he didn't expect that a successor of Lu Ban came to the courtyard, and his hope of turning things around turned into a disaster.

Facing Huo Hai, Yang Liancheng put the knife used to kill dogs on his neck.

Huangfu Hua wanted to stop it and looked at Huo Hai.

Huo Hai looked at Yang Liancheng and sighed: "The Spring and Autumn Period is over. The Warring States Period is over."

Who is Liu Bang? Emperor Gaozu of Han.

Who is Liu Bang? A knight-errant.

Wasn't Liu Bang a Mohist? He was just a Mohist who no longer practiced universal love and non-aggression and only acted like a hero. He was a carefree knight who didn't care about morality and only cared about his own heart.

"The Warring States period was gone when Emperor Gaozu was born. No one really cares about the Mohist school."

"No one will kill you just because you are the Hidden Ink Giant."

"Dong Zhongshu says every day that I am a hidden ink master, but I am fine with it. If you are so afraid of being a hidden ink master, I will be the one."

Yang Liancheng looked at Huo Hai in disbelief: "You...how is it possible? If this old dog Dong Zhongshu knew that you were a Mohist, would he not suppress you?"

Huo Hai stretched his head forward and said, "What? Suppress me? If I don't suppress him, he will be very lucky."

Yang Liancheng: "What does burning high incense mean?"

Huo Hai persuaded her: "Gao Xiang is a Buddhist who worships Buddha. Buddha is in India. When you reach India, you can go there to travel. The world is beautiful. Why do you want to die?"

Yang Liancheng shook his head: "Young Master, there is no need to lie to me. Once the identity of the great man is exposed, death is the only outcome."

Huo Hai was puzzled: "Why?"

Yang Liancheng recounted the story of San Mo Jinmo.

Huo Hai: "So, the Legalists who made the laws for the Qin State were fine, so why should the Mohists who made the rules be in trouble?"

"Guo Jie died because he was showing off and pretending to be the big brother. Why don't you just stop pretending to be the big brother?"

Yang Liancheng: "Pretending to be the big brother?"

Yang Liancheng still thought that Guo Jie died because of his identity as a ranger.

Huo Hai coughed twice and said, "Among all my followers, many are doing research. Do you know what research is for?"

Yang Liancheng shook his head, and as a result, the knife on his neck opened a small cut in his skin: "Hiss~"

Huo Hai waved his hand: "Hold the knife away!"

“After successful research, we bring it to market and make money.”

"Your Majesty is a major shareholder of the vast majority of my assets. What I mean by a major shareholder is that Your Majesty owns the majority of the assets and the majority of the dividends."

"If you put down your knife now and become an honorable researcher, you are doing your job for His Majesty. How could His Majesty bother you? His Majesty would like to reward you with more things to set an example for the people of the world. Have you ever heard of buying horse bones for a thousand gold coins?"

To be honest, the Mohist school was a very powerful group of people in the Warring States Period.

But the world is changing too fast, so fast that their guiding ideology can no longer explain the world.

When faced with the unknown, humans are afraid.

And the more you know, the more you don’t know.

So the more you know, the more afraid you become.

Yin Mo Ju Zi knows more than anyone else in this world, so he is more afraid of death than anyone else in this world, and he is even more afraid of implicating his family.

After hearing what Huo Hai said, Yang Liancheng was wondering whether this was the case.

Huo Hai continued: "I plan to establish a research institute based here. I was going to name it Huo's Research Institute. Since you are so scared, I will write a letter to persuade His Majesty to name it the Royal Research Institute. You will be the executive vice president, I will be the chief vice president, and His Majesty will be the president."

"If I serve as His Majesty's right-hand man, will His Majesty chop off his own hands?"

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Yang Liancheng's face: It seems that no one would chop off their left or right hands, right?

In fact, there is, right in front of us.

Chen An, with one hand, tilted his head: This situation doesn’t seem right!

How come Yang Liancheng, the master of Hidden Mohism, is going to become His Majesty's right-hand man? Doesn't that mean he will become a trusted official of the court? Isn't the Mohist School going to take off?

Chen An looked at the iron hook on his hand and felt that he should do something.

Huo Hai, who was now happy, turned to look at Chen An excitedly and said, "Let's build another Royal Technical Vocational College. You are a master craftsman and a descendant of Lu Ban, so you can be the executive vice president!"

Chen An put down the hook in his hand silently: "Me? Can I?!"
