Chapter 196: The first appearance of the fire, the strength of the Ying Kingdom [Additional chapter for the "Jiulang Shen" 10,000-yuan reward]
Pavilion Master Shang was stunned by Detective Ji.
He dared to negotiate a deal with Ji Lao Mo only because he really had a trump card.
As the leader of the Secret Law Pavilion and the number one person in the Ying Kingdom's intelligence system, Leader Shang has so much information in his hands that even Ji Changsheng couldn't imagine it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm.
But Ji Lao Mo's reaction caught him off guard.
According to the information he collected, Ji Lao Mo was very polite to Li Huanyan, a big shot who held important intelligence.
Why is it different here?
Ji Changsheng certainly didn't know what Pavilion Master Shang was thinking, otherwise he would have laughed out loud: Bao is a great beauty, how can a stinky man like you compare with her? It's clear that Ji Changsheng is sexist, favoring girls over boys, and Nan Bao is so angry that he can't stand it.
Of course, this is definitely because he cannot defeat Yidiandian Bao’s strength, and he cannot defeat Bao’s power now.
As for Pavilion Master Shang? Who is this guy? Old Devil Ji didn't even care what his specific name was.
"Master Ji, I really know the truth about His Majesty's assassination."
Master Shang became anxious and said it out loud. This was his biggest trump card.
If Ji Changsheng plays hard with him and makes his trump card ineffective, he will be so frustrated that he dies.
After hearing what Pavilion Master Shang said, Ji Changsheng didn't react much, but the three giants of Ying State looked very shocked.
Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang looked at each other and realized that the other party probably didn't know about it before.
Yue Qingzhao's face turned pale instantly: "You know the truth? No wonder you immediately closed the door and refused to see anyone after this happened, without saying a word."
Her heart sank into a bottomless abyss.
Oh no, this guy was trapping her and her ambition was exposed.
However, Ji Changsheng immediately gave her great comfort.
Ji Changsheng slapped him again: "I asked where Shang Zhengjia is? You answered irrelevant questions. I think you are the real murderer who assassinated His Majesty."
"Ji Changsheng, don't go too far."
Pavilion Master Shang raised his hand to block Ji Changsheng's slap.
Boom! The invisible energy swept around, and Ji Changsheng subconsciously took a step back, but Pavilion Master Shang did not move at all, which surprised Ji Changsheng.
"You actually rose to the top through your own strength."
This guy's strength is above the Void Refinement Realm.
In Ying State, this is a bit strange, because Ying State took a different path and was not known for its own strength.
Li Xiang explained to Ji Changsheng: "Young Master Ji, you don't know that Pavilion Master Shang's father was one of the elders of the Fire Seed, and he was also one of the leaders of the Danqing Pavilion a hundred years ago."
Ji Changsheng really didn't know this information.
If he were to investigate everyone's intelligence while holding his wife's jade sword, then he would be mentally ill.
If Li Huanyan had Yu Linglong's strength, she would not work so hard to expand her intelligence network.
But Ji Changsheng frowned immediately: "People from Danqing Pavilion? Why don't I see the righteousness?"
Pavilion Master Shang coughed lightly and explained his origins: "Young Master Ji, my father is from Danqing Pavilion, but I did not practice in Danqing Pavilion. I just took the empty position of Danqing Pavilion's outer sect elder."
Ji Changsheng sneered: "If you can't practice, just say you can't practice. You are quite good at flattering yourself."
Pavilion Master Shang’s face turned red.
Ji Changsheng was right, it’s just that it can’t be practiced.
Not everyone can enter the world's top immortal sect, the threshold is actually very high.
The virtue of Xuandu Temple and the righteousness of Danqing Pavilion require higher qualities besides talent.
Ji Changsheng knew quite a few disciples of the Danqing Pavilion, from the Pavilion Master Jiang Shiyi to Senior Brother Cao Ziming, including Du Zongsheng who had died unjustly at the hands of Ji Changsheng before. These people were not only extremely talented, but even Du Zongsheng had never done anything evil in public.
Moreover, Du Zongsheng only began to change gradually after he reached the Jindan stage.
It would be incredible that Master Shang, a spy chief, could cultivate such a righteous spirit.
Even if you call Yu Lao Mo and Li Huanyan over, they still cannot cultivate the righteous energy. This is not just a matter of talent.
Power, position, and property can all be inherited, but intangible assets such as righteousness and merit are difficult to inherit and can only be inherited by oneself.
The Shang Pavilion Master has a father who is at the level of the leader of the Danqing Pavilion. A hundred years ago, he was also one of the top ten or even top five leaders of the Danqing Pavilion. His status may not be worse than that of the current Qinglian Sword Immortal. In this case, if the Shang Pavilion Master has the slightest possibility, he will not switch to practicing other schools.
To put it bluntly, this guy is not a good person, even he himself does not think he is a good person. The minimum requirement for cultivating the righteousness is that you must think that you are a good person and that you have been doing righteous things.
Pavilion Master Shang can't do it.
Then Ji Changsheng naturally had nothing to worry about.
"If you can't even cultivate the noble and righteous spirit, what good can you be?"
Detective Ji made the final conclusion.
Yue Qingzhao felt relieved when he heard this.
If Pavilion Master Shang was fishing, then she would have been fished out.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There is no turning back in life. Since she has been betrayed in the officialdom, she can't stand back. Even if she wants to stand back, the Shang Pavilion Master will not believe her, so she can only go all the way.
After taking a look at Ji Changsheng, Yue Qingzhao's eyes flashed with determination.
The ultimate fate of many people depends on the decisions made at critical moments.
Now is the critical moment for Yue Qingzhao.
She decided to take a gamble.
So she gave the order: "Do it."
Ji Changsheng and Pavilion Master Shang both looked at Yue Qingzhao.
Ji Changsheng hadn't reacted yet, but Pavilion Master Shang, who knew Yue Qingzhao better, suddenly got a jump in his heart and asked angrily, "Yue Qingzhao, who did you attack?"
Yue Qingzhao ignored what Pavilion Master Shang said and said directly to Ji Changsheng: "Young Master Ji, my people have captured Shang Zhengjia and will bring him here soon."
Ji Changsheng and Yue Qingzhao looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud: "Deputy Pavilion Master Yue is loyal to the country and is not afraid of power. I will inform Princess Hongye."
Yue Qingzhao felt relaxed again.
She didn't know whether her gamble was right or wrong, but since she was already at the table and the merchant opposite her had revealed his cards, she had no choice but to go all in.
Stud is a kind of wisdom.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yue Qingzhao completely cut off his retreat: "Master Ji, I have collected all the information about Shang Zhengjia's abuse of power and profiteering by using his father's power, and I have also reported it to His Majesty in private."
The three giants of Ying State were a little shocked, as they didn't know about this.
Yue Qingzhao continued, "Your Majesty has always kept silent about it, so I have no choice but to endure it until now. If Young Master Ji and Princess Hongye are willing to enforce the law impartially, I am willing to lend a helping hand to Young Master Ji."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Yue is thoughtful. Bring me the evidence."
"Master Ji, wait a moment."
It is obvious that Yue Qingzhao has been eyeing the position of Shang Pavilion Master for a long time, and she has done a lot of work in secret over the years.
Ji Changsheng quickly obtained information about the merchant.
After a brief glance, Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows and handed the evidence to Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang.
"Prime Minister Li, Marshal Zhang, please take a look together to see if the things recorded above are true?"
Li Xiang only looked at it for a minute, and then said to Ji Changsheng: "Master Ji, Mr. Shang is the fire seed meritorious official and founding hero of the Ying Kingdom."
Marshal Zhang added: "Mr. Shang is still alive."
Ji Changsheng did some reading comprehension: "All the information that Vice Pavilion Master Yue brought is true!"
Li Xiang and Marshal Zhang did not deny it.
Ji Changsheng nodded and handed the evidence to Pavilion Master Shang.
"Look for yourself. I don't want to wrongly accuse a good person. I'll give you a chance to defend yourself."
Ji Changsheng was cultivating his meritorious spirit, so killing a good person would affect him and reduce his merits.
Of course, since his debut, Ji Changsheng has never made a mistake in killing anyone.
I have to say that there are still too many merits in this world.
Pavilion Master Shang didn't even look at it.
He knew it must be true.
Moreover, at this time, his beloved daughter had been taken to the scene by Yue Qingzhao's confidants.
"Let me go. My father is the head of the Secret Law Pavilion, and my grandfather is the Fire Seed Elder. Who gave your dog the guts to catch me? Is Yue Qingzhao crazy?"
Shang Zhengjia continued to struggle.
Master Shang was heartbroken.
"Yue Qingzhao, you are fine." The Shang Pavilion Master gave Yue Qingzhao a murderous look and said in a cold voice: "Let him go. I don't want to say it a second time. Don't let your family suffer. You have crossed the line."
Yue Qingzhao ignored what Pavilion Master Shang said and just looked at Ji Changsheng.
Ji Changsheng did not let her down.
"It is correct not to harm your family, provided that your family has not committed any crime." Ji Qingtian sneered, "Master Shang, didn't you just say that Shang Zhengjia has gone abroad? What's going on here? You are full of lies, disloyal and dishonest to the court, shielding criminals, bending the law for personal gain, and placing family affection above national law. Are you worthy of being an important official of the country?"
"Ji Changsheng, stop talking nonsense here, this is Ying State."
The person who spoke was not Pavilion Master Shang, but Shang Zhengjia.
Pavilion Master Shang really didn't dare to speak to Old Devil Ji like this.
But young people are always braver.
"This is the Ying Kingdom that my grandfather conquered. My grandfather is not dead yet. If you touch me in Ying Kingdom, you will be the enemy of the entire Ying Kingdom."
Ji Changsheng smiled: "Ms. Shang, you probably don't know who I killed tonight."
Shang Zhengjia really didn’t know.
So she is very confident.
Of course, Pavilion Master Shang knew this, so he did not let his daughter continue to commit suicide. He spoke before Shang Zhengjia, "Young Master Ji, give the old man some face. Zhengjia did make mistakes, but the crime is not punishable by death. The old man fought for the Kingdom of Ying, and the Shang family is full of loyal heroes. Even if Zhengjia is a little spoiled, she was raised by the old man. The ancestors fought for their descendants, didn't they? If Young Master Ji touches Zhengjia today, the old ministers of Huozhong will have opinions about Princess Hongye."
Ji Changsheng laughed again, but his laughter was full of murderous intent: "Emperor Ying and his generation went through life and death to ensure that the descendants of Ying State could live and work in peace and contentment, not to ensure that their descendants alone could live and work in peace and contentment. Emperor Ying and his people fought against the immortal sects because they did not want the major immortal sects to be superior to the people of Ying State, not to allow their descendants to be superior to the people of Ying State. Mr. Shang, are you using the merits of the fire seeds back then to pressure me?"
Ji Changsheng chopped off Shang Zhengjia's head with a knife, then pointed the knife at the glaring Shang Pavilion Master, with murderous intent: "I'll give you a chance, call your father over, and call your close uncles and aunts together, I'll wait here. Fire? If the fire is now only illuminating meritorious families like your Shang family, I will extinguish the fire tonight!"
