Chapter 1520

In this instant.

Pei Cheng and the guards protecting him were in a dilemma, unable to leave or stay.

Second-floor private room.

Wu Zhao witnessed everything with her own eyes, and her phoenix eyes were cold.

She said coldly, "Good for you, Pei family, you are truly unscrupulous. In my country, under my nose, how can I allow you to fool the people with ghosts and gods!"

Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wu Zhao must be angry, so she said, "Your Majesty, should you appear now?"

Wu Zhao waved her hand, her phoenix eyes deep, "No need."

"Minister Gao's performance seems to have a follow-up. Just watch Minister Gao's methods. My blade... has not yet been unsheathed."

"..."

"Damn Li Fu, he took our Pei family's money, and without even being tortured, he sold out our Pei family in public!"

"Truly deserves to die!"

Pei Cheng's face was pale, and he roared in his heart.

Pei Ji lay on the stretcher with his face turned away; he had originally come to watch the Living Yama make a fool of himself, but he never expected to lift a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

His Pei family's mulberry paper's reputation not only didn't improve, but on the contrary, it became even stinkier.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the price of mulberry paper plummets, our Pei family still has the sages' books, still has commentaries. What is a moment of scolding? Before long, the commoners will forget!"

"All of you, straighten your chests, what is there to be afraid of? Just insist that this is the Living Yama's slander!"

Pei Cheng said coldly, his eyes icy.

He now understood that the Living Yama had too many methods and was unfathomable. Relying on the Pei family's own strength was difficult to contend with.

And ordinary methods were too difficult to be effective.

But it doesn't matter, the Pei family has a century-old foundation, and the entire Great Qian world is deeply rooted. He can wait, wait for a perfect conspiracy, wait for a must-kill situation!

Today's matter is far from over...

Next time, the Pei family's methods won't be so easy to deal with!

Pei Cheng's eyes carried coldness.

But at this moment.

Gao Yang closed his eyes in pain, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. A strong wind blew, making Gao Yang's long robe flutter loudly.

Seeing Gao Yang in this posture, Cui Xinghe was instantly like facing a great enemy, his whole body tense.

"Not good, the Living Yama in this posture must have a conspiracy in his heart, wanting to manifest holiness in front of people!"

"The Pei family today... is afraid it's going to be finished!"

As soon as Cui Xinghe's voice fell, Gao Yang straightened his waist and said loudly.

"The business world is like a battlefield, truly hard to guard against. The Pei family is sinister, almost making me bear a lifetime of infamy and stink for a thousand years!"

"I have always been kind to others, kind-hearted, simple-minded, without any schemes, weak-willed, never holding grudges, always thinking of making peace, always thinking of seeing each other when looking down."

"But this Pei family bullies me too much, bullies the scholars of the world too much. If this can be endured, what cannot? Since there is no way to retreat, I won't retreat. Since I can't bear it anymore, I won't bear it anymore."

"The Pei family has exhausted all their schemes, but they don't know that the glorious history hates falsehood the most!" Gao Yang shook his sleeves like clouds, his voice cracking the sky.

He took a step forward, faced the dense crowd of Changancheng scholars and said loudly: "Today, I will be presumptuous once, arrogant once! I want the sages' books to be like rice grains from now on, readable by everyone, and no more knowledge monopoly!"

"I want the words of the sages to be like the sun and moon hanging in the sky in our Great Qian from now on—without distinction of noble or humble, shining on the world!"
