Chapter 806: Siye has prejudice in his heart
"The whole story hasn't been fully investigated yet, why did you bother the goddess?"
Hu Yuancheng was the first to say that he would ask the goddess, but when Su Siye really rushed straight and alarmed the goddess, Hu Yuancheng was the most opposed.
Su Siye just glared at him and said indignantly, "What is there to investigate? We have witnesses and evidence. What else is there to say?"
Minister Hu knew that this was a rough guy, but it was rare to find someone this rough. As soon as he saw Gong Mengbi, Su Siye lost his composure and did many inappropriate things - although he did not seem smart on weekdays, at least he was not so annoying.
But there was no time for Minister Hu to explain anything to him, because the goddess had already responded.
The altar in Fox Courtyard has always been kept neatly tidied, with the smoke curling from the incense burner, carrying Fox's aspirations and expectations.
Su Siye burned incense and prayed to the goddess. In just a moment, the statue of the goddess came to life in the smoke.
The goddess came too quickly, so everyone stopped dancing and bowed down to her.
The goddess looked at them and whispered, "What problems did you encounter while inspecting the Fox Courtyard?"
Hu Yuancheng wanted to speak, but Su Siye had already raised his head to question him. He held the second and third hills in his hands in front of the altar and said, "Goddess, please look."
The goddess looked at him and she understood what he wanted to say.
Su Siye said with a look of rage, "These are the two yellow-skinned men we seized from the Fox Court in Wuning County." He turned his gaze to Gong Mengbi and said angrily, "Gong Mengbi, you are so bold! You have betrayed the Goddess's trust. You took the Heavenly Fox Court's salary but privately taught strange creatures and taught them magical powers. Such a treacherous intention deserves death!"
"The Heavenly Fox Court was established to promote the fox spirits of the world to heaven, and the Fox Court was also a gift from the empress and the goddess, established to educate the foxes. Gong Mengbi's rebellious ambition is chilling. The foxes of the world are all lowly and weak, and the wild foxes are even more despicable. His own people have not even made a name for themselves, yet he has come up with such behavior. He dared to accept these two yellow-skinned people today. I am afraid that all kinds of snakes and rats will be accepted into the Fox Court in the future. If this continues, how will the foxes live? Will the Fox Court still be the Fox Court?"
Su Siye's tone was passionate, his heart growing more and more excited, his face flushed red, and he questioned, "If everyone follows suit, will Tianhuyuan still be Tianhuyuan? Such behavior is unacceptable to me, Su, and all the foxes in the world!"
He looked at the goddess eagerly and said, "Goddess, such a person is unruly and unruly. He is unfit to be the chief officer of our Sky Fox Academy, let alone a role model for educating others. Please punish him, Goddess. Otherwise, how can we appease the people's anger?"
Chun Siye looked at Su Siye, then at the goddess, and he really wanted to see the goddess' attitude.
Gong Mengbi's handle can be big or small. At the very least, it's just two insignificant yellow-skinned people. At the most, it's a betrayal of the tribe, which is comparable to treason.
Everyone knows that the goddess values Fox Courtyard, but whether she values Fox Courtyard or Gong Mengbi is another matter.
If it cannot be handled properly, it will damage the public's conscience and be a blow to the goddess's own prestige.
The goddess seemed to sense Chun Siye's gaze and looked in that direction.
Chun Siye quickly lowered his head, his heart beating wildly. He calmed his mind and dared not think about it anymore.
Fortunately, the goddess didn't seem to want to see her, but to see Hu Yuancheng.
"Minister Hu, what do you think?" asked the goddess.
Minister Hu bowed and said, "The matter has not yet been thoroughly investigated, so I dare not make any rash conclusions. In his excitement, Su Siye startled the goddess, and I was unable to stop him. I beg the goddess to forgive me."
The goddess was not angry at the irrelevant answer. She asked Xun Jijiu and Chun Siye again, "What do you think?"
Xun Jijiu said: "If it is true that public funds were embezzled, then they should be punished."
"Is this matter as simple as embezzlement of public funds? You yourself are a wild fox. Gong Mengbi teaches alien races and alien creatures in the Fox Academy, and imparts cultivation and magical powers to the alien foxes. These should have belonged to the wild foxes!" Su Siye said angrily.
Xun Jijiu said, "From the perspective of the Heavenly Fox Court, educating other species is naturally not our responsibility. However, from the perspective of the Empress's divine grace, the Nine Provinces are home to more than just foxes. As long as we don't take up the original share of foxes, can educating other species be considered a fault?"
Su Siye's face turned pale, and he was about to argue when he heard Chun Siye say, "There's nothing wrong with educating all living things, but doing so in the Fox Monastery might be inappropriate. After all, the Fox Monastery is a place for foxes to cultivate, and they aren't foxes, so it's inevitable that it wouldn't be appropriate to do so."
Su Siye's expression looked a little better, but he still felt that the problem was too light.
The goddess looked at Gong Mengbi and asked, "Gong Mingfu, did you hear that?"
Gong Mengbi stepped forward and said, "I heard it."
"Now that you've heard it, what do you have to say?"
Gong Mengbi looked at Su Siye, a smile on his face but no expression in his eyes. He said, "Su Siye is dedicated to serving the public, and I admire him. But right from the start, he didn't ask for the whole story, didn't listen to my explanation, and instead put a huge accusation on me. It's really disappointing."
"How dare you!" Su Siye scolded, "In front of the goddess, you dare to disrespect your elders and be so arrogant!"
Gong Mengbi said, "It's not that I'm disrespectful to my elders. It's really that Su Siye first broke into the Fox House and captured the two students, and then attacked in anger, injuring the teacher here. It's obvious that Su Siye is full of prejudice in his heart and doesn't take the Fox House seriously at all."
Su Siye just thought it was ridiculous and said, "You did such a thing, and you still dare to question me?"
"It was precisely because Siye was prejudiced and had already determined my guilt that I didn't have a chance to explain."
Gong Mengbi bowed to the goddess and several seniors and said, "Goddess, Xun Jijiu, Chun Siye, Hu Yuancheng, and Su Siye have accused me of the crime. I can explain it one by one."
"First, all expenses for Second and Third Hills' studies at Fox Monastery will be borne by each of them. Three liters of gold have already been collected as a stipend, covering their food, clothing, and offerings for the Dharma."
"Who allowed you to sell Taoist magic?" Su Siye asked again.
"This is exactly the second point I wanted to explain, and it's also the origin of Su Siye's accusation that I had ulterior motives and was secretly teaching Daoist magic and supernatural powers. Although Erqiu and Sanqiu are studying at Fox Academy, and are being educated and supervised by the Fox Academy in Wuning County, they are not actually students of my Fox Academy. Instead, I was entrusted by the Yue Mansion, led by Wei Dapan of the Yin and Yang Department, to assist the Yue Mansion in training Yin and Yang Envoys in the human world."
Su Siye's face darkened, and his heart sank deeply at Gong Mengbi's words.
Gong Mengbi glanced at Su Siye without any complacency, but Su Siye was so angry that he trembled all over.
"These two students are called Erqiu and Sanqiu. There's also Daqiu in my Fox Academy. The three of us have known each other for a long time and have a deep bond. When Daqiu came to Fox Academy to study, he begged me to take both of them in, saying he'd rather wander the world together."
"Although I admire their loyalty, I dare not act on my own. It just so happened that Wei Dapan asked me to find some people of good character in the human world to train as Yin-Yang Messengers. I asked Wei Dapan for permission, and with the Yue Mansion's approval, I entered these two students into the Book of Ghosts and Gods, and made them obey the Yin Law. I fostered them in my Fox Courtyard and let me train them on their behalf. Only then did I dare to accept them as my disciples."
"You can ask Wei Dapan to testify to what happened. The Book of Ghosts and Gods in the Yue Mansion can also verify the identity and prove that what I said is true."
"Su Siye, are you satisfied with my explanation?"
