Chapter 362 Restoring the Scene
"Besides, there are only witnesses now, but no victims. There is no chain of evidence, and I cannot be convicted." When it comes to legal theory, Du Ping can be the best in the Great Zhou.
If Du Ping's reputation wasn't so bad, the Minister of Justice would have wanted to ask Du Ping to write a law textbook.
The Lord of Anyang City was helpless. Since Du Ping refused to acknowledge him, he could only contact the imperial court and ask His Majesty to send someone from the royal family to go back in time.
Calculating the time, it’s almost here.
"Du Ping, what's wrong with you this time?" Jiang Li landed.
"Greetings to the Human Emperor." The officials bowed respectfully when they saw Jiang Li.
"You have to make the decision for me! Ever since you proposed the conditions for me to join the Palace of the Human Emperor, I have made up my mind to become the leader of the Palace of the Human Emperor and work hard to reduce the number of times I drink." Du Ping cried out in injustice.
The Lord of Anyang City said: "I can confirm this. Du Ping used to drink four times in three days, a whole jar each time. Now he only drinks once every three days."
Jiang Li was curious: "How much do you drink at a time?"
"Four altars."
“…”
Jiang Li felt that Du Ping would break the law sooner or later: "Tell me, what happened today?"
The Lord of Anyang City introduced: "It's like this. Last night we received a report that Du Ping walked out of the tavern after drinking. He saw a woman in white on the side of the road and rushed over to her. The woman in white screamed and ran away in a hurry. Du Ping wanted to chase her, but he was drunk and fell asleep on the ground."
"These people are tavern owners, drinkers, and neighbors, and they can all confirm what happened at the time."
These people were very excited to see Jiang Li.
"What I said is true. Du Ping really pounced on the woman in white."
"I heard the woman's scream. It was very miserable."
"It's a pity that we didn't find the woman in white, otherwise we would have been able to confirm what Du Ping did!"
Jiang Li didn't want to play the detective game, it was too brain-consuming: "Let the professionals make the decision."
"Your Excellency, the Nineteenth Princess has arrived."
The Lord of Anyang City hurried out to greet him: "Princess Nineteen."
Princess Nineteen smiled and nodded modestly. Suddenly, she saw Jiang Li out of the corner of her eye and was overjoyed.
The nineteenth princess was Ji Kongkong. After not seeing her for a few years, she had grown into a graceful beauty, with a confident and sunny look, but her breasts were smaller than those of her peers.
Many young men were attracted by Ji Kongkong's appearance and talent, and hoped that Ji Zhi would grant them marriage.
Ji Zhi didn't give them a good look.
Ji Kongkong has an extremely high talent for cultivation. He is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and is much faster than Qin Luan.
"Uncle Jiang?" The nineteenth princess Ji Kongkong saw Jiang Li and ran to him.
Now Ji Kongkong felt embarrassed to throw herself into Jiang Li’s arms as she did before.
"It's Kongkong. Long time no see. You've become an independent young lady." Jiang Li smiled with satisfaction. Ji Zhi asked Ji Kongkong to come alone with a few followers without any other royal family members. This meant that Ji Kongkong's way of time no longer required guidance from others.
"Uncle Jiang, why are you here?" Ji Kongkong didn't expect Jiang Li to appear here.
"I heard there are ghosts here, so I came to see something strange."
"Uncle Jiang is really good at joking."
Ji Kongkong thought Jiang Li was joking and didn't take it seriously.
The Lord of Anyang City recounted the case, and Ji Kongkong also felt that there was something fishy about it.
Time stopped, Ji Kongkong stepped into the long river of time, and then returned to Jiuzhou. The whole process took only a moment.
"How?" Du Ping hoped Ji Kongkong would give him justice.
Ji Kongkong frowned slightly and did not answer. She used her spiritual sense to project what she saw in the long river of time into the air.
…
Midnight, at the door of the tavern.
Du Ping passed by a tavern and could not walk when he smelled the wine. The customer saw Du Ping and invited him warmly: "Du Ping, come over and have a drink."
"No, no, I want to quit drinking. Today is my third day of sobriety."
The drunkard insisted: "Hey, I've been abstaining from alcohol for three days, I'll reward myself."
"Okay." Du Ping felt that the drinker was right.
After drinking four jars of wine, Du Ping burped: "This is the last time. I will stop drinking from tomorrow."
The drinkers and tavern owners all laughed and shook their heads. Du Ping said this every time, but he never persisted until the fourth day.
"Are you okay? Can you go home?" The drinker remembered that Du Ping had slept on the floor as soon as he walked out of the pub after drinking.
"It's okay, I'm not drunk." Du Ping waved his hand to indicate that he was normal.

"Then could you please not say that to the pillar?"
Du Ping said nothing more and walked forward unsteadily.
Without any warning, a white figure appeared not far away, as if appearing out of thin air.
The white figure was blurry, like a ball of vapor, very unstable.
Du Ping's eyes changed, as if he saw something strange, and he pounced towards the white figure.
When the white figure saw Du Ping coming at her aggressively, she screamed shrilly and then disappeared, leaving Du Ping empty-handed.
Du Ping staggered, fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.
Someone living on the second floor saw this and thought Du Ping was molesting a woman in public, so he reported it to the police.
…
"What is this?" The witnesses didn't understand what the white shadow was.
Ji Kongkong's cheeks were slightly red. "This is what I saw. With my eyesight, I couldn't tell how the white figure appeared and disappeared. This is what I saw in the long river of time. If Uncle Jiang could also go to the long river of time, he should be able to see more things."
"I suspect it's a ghost." The mayor of Anyang City had a solemn look on his face. He had received many reports from the people saying they had seen ghosts, and the descriptions were similar.
He himself had seen similar situations and was terrified.
He was a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, yet the other party was able to appear behind him without anyone noticing and blow into his ear.
He could clearly see it with his eyes, but when he opened his mind, he saw nothing there! The Lord of Anyang City felt that this matter revealed a sense of weirdness, and he felt uneasy, so he reported it to the higher authorities.
The court received reports from various places and didn't know what to do, so it contacted the guards of the imperial palace.
The guards reported the incident to the Imperial Palace.
"It could be a ghost." Jiang Li also felt that the white figure was a ghost. The way the white figure appeared and disappeared was against common sense and did not seem to be caused by any martial arts technique.
But how could there be ghosts in Jiuzhou? Aren’t ghosts all in the underworld?
Seeing that the two were talking seriously, Ji Kongkong showed a frightened expression and quietly approached Jiang Li to gain a sense of security. What she liked to listen to most were Jiang Li's stories, and what she was most afraid of were ghost stories.
"So Du Ping is considered to be teasing a female ghost?" The Lord of Anyang City did not forget why he invited Ji Kongkong here.
The mayor of Anyang City was in a dilemma. The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stated that the "women" in "molesting women" included female humans and female demons, and it did not seem to list ghosts as protected subjects.
How about expanding the explanation and extending the concept of "women" to ghosts?
Du Ping glared at the Lord of Anyang City and said, "You must give me your entire criminal record today, right?"
