Chapter 86: The devil is in power, and everyone is back to their senses

At this moment, Ji Changsheng's figure was extremely tall in Baohe Hall.

Everyone felt like they had gotten to know Ji Changsheng again.

Including Cao Ziming.

He thought he had understood Junior Brother Ji's realm and appreciated his methods.

He is also preparing to learn.

But now, he realized again that Junior Brother Ji’s vision was higher than his.

Junior Brother Ji's purpose of killing people was even greater than he imagined.

He only learned Junior Brother Ji's method of killing people, but did not learn Junior Brother Ji's pattern of killing people.

"I see."

Cao Ziming took a deep breath.

What Junior Brother Ji thought was of course right.

He is only worried about one thing now:

"These people are evil even at heart. Can they cooperate with us?"

"Yes, I can."

"I wish to attach the end of the season."

"Elder Ji has devoted his life to the country and the people, which makes me admire him very much. I will definitely follow Elder Ji's example and do more practical things that benefit the country and the people."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Cao. After listening to Elder Ji's words, I have regained my original intention of doing practical things for the people."

…

The statement made by "Zhongzheng" did not reassure Cao Ziming.

It made him even more worried.

"Junior Brother Ji, are you sure you can count on this group of servile and weak-kneed people? They don't even have good character, what good can they do?"

Cao Ziming has received orthodox education in Danqing Pavilion over the past few decades, and the concept of righteousness has been deeply rooted in his bones.

It is impossible for him to agree with this performance of "Zhongzheng".

"I think it would be better to promote some honest and upright officials so that we can use them with more confidence."

The hearts of the "Zhongzheng" were lifted again.

They originally thought that Ji Changsheng was their fatal threat.

Unexpectedly, the most dangerous person is Cao Ziming, a young man with a strong sense of justice.

Ji Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "Brother Cao, I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Are you sure you can find a good official who is honest and upright?"

Cao Ziming: "...I think it should be possible, right? I don't believe that the world is full of corrupt officials who only seek personal gain at the expense of the public. There are always some people who live like a beam of light."

At the beginning, Cao Ziming was not sure.

But he asked himself and looked at Junior Brother Ji again, his tone becoming more and more determined.

He is a ray of light.

There are many people in Danqing Pavilion who have this kind of light.

Junior Brother Ji, it’s also this kind of light.

Of course, the world is full of evil spirits, monsters, and demons, but there are always people who are chivalrous and willing to slay the monsters and eliminate the evil.

If they don't even have this kind of confidence, how can Danqing Pavilion disciples conduct themselves in the world? "The dream of scholars and knights throughout the ages is to paint with blood and blue. Junior Brother Ji, I believe that there must be people in this world who are untainted by mud, who plead for the people, and who sacrifice their lives. As long as we look for them carefully, there will always be such people."

Cao Ziming's tone became more and more firm, and at the same time, so was his noble heart.

Ji Changsheng looked at Cao Ziming with some surprise.

After following him for two days and seeing so many evil spirits, demons and monsters, Senior Brother Cao was still able to maintain this state of mind.

Ji Changsheng realized the value of the Danqing Pavilion's talented disciples.

Brother Cao may not be very smart, but his personality is indeed suitable for practicing Taoism.

Being a persistent "fool" is actually wiser and more promising than many compromising "smart people".

If there were more people like Brother Cao in the world, the world would naturally become a better place.

So Ji Changsheng would certainly not extinguish the light of hope of Senior Brother Cao.

He just chuckled and said, "I completely agree with what Senior Brother Cao said, but such honest and upright officials are excellent in character, not necessarily in methods. We cannot be sure whether they can do what we want them to do, and we cannot even be sure whether they are willing to cooperate with our methods."

Ji Changsheng pointed at the "evil cult monster" in Baohe Hall whose head Ji Changsheng had just chopped off.

"For example, the 'evil cult monster' I just killed, can those upright gentlemen you mentioned, Brother Cao, identify with me? Are they willing to cooperate with me? Not everyone in this world has the realm of Brother Cao."

Cao Ziming was speechless.

Apart from anything else, he was sure that many fellow students and elders in Danqing Pavilion would probably not agree with Junior Brother Ji's behavior.

But he agreed.

Because he saw that the people killed by Junior Brother Ji were not innocent.

I also saw Junior Brother Ji’s merits increase.

If he had followed the instructions of his senior brothers and elders in everything, he would probably have gained nothing since coming to Sheng Country.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Junior Brother Ji is about to take control of Sheng Kingdom, and the matter of Taiping Fudi has been dealt with. The first batch of customers who purchased Taiping Fudi have already received their compensation.

Everything depends on the outcome.

There is no doubt that all of Junior Brother Ji’s actions will ultimately help the people of Sheng State live and work in peace and contentment.

In this case, he is willing to agree with whatever Junior Brother Ji does.

However, he also knew that many of the good people in his eyes might not agree with him.

Ji Changsheng continued, "The group of people in front of us are different. They may not be good people or good officials, but they have climbed up in a human dynasty like Shengguo, grasped real power, and held important positions. This shows that they either have a powerful background or have extraordinary means. You can despise the character of this group of people, but you cannot despise their abilities."

At this point, Ji Changsheng smiled kindly at the "Zhongzheng" and said: "I believe in you gentlemen. As long as you cooperate with me sincerely, Shengguo will surely become great again at the fastest speed, and the people of Shengguo will be able to live a better life in the shortest time."

"certainly."

"Elder Ji has great wisdom."

"From now on, I will follow Elder Ji's lead in everything."

Most of the “Zhongzheng” are old foxes.

So they saw one thing clearly:

Ji Changsheng and Cao Ziming are really not playing the good guy and the bad guy respectively.

Although the final effect seems to be like this, in fact, Cao Ziming is just a young and inexperienced person.

The impulsiveness and recklessness of a young man cannot be concealed.

If they didn't rely on Ji Changsheng, they had no doubt that Cao Ziming would be able to kill people on the spot.

So at this moment, even though Ji Changsheng was using threats and inducements and giving them an ultimatum, they still had to be grateful to Ji Changsheng.

Of course, this alone is far from enough.

Ji Changsheng is no fool.

As someone who had worked at the end of the universe, Ji Changsheng knew that the most untrustworthy thing was the promises made by politicians.

So Ji Changsheng raised his glass again with a smile.

"Come on, everyone, let's have another drink. From now on, we will work together to serve our king and our country!"

"Work together to serve the country and the emperor!"

"Respect to Elder Ji."

"To the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty."

Everyone drank.

When everyone put down their glasses, Ji Changsheng announced an exciting piece of good news: "I am very pleased to see everyone working together like this. I just put some 'tonic' in your glasses, which can strengthen your body and prolong your life, but there are some minor side effects. As long as everyone goes to the Queen Mother's place every three days to drink a sip of tea regularly, the side effects will disappear. I believe everyone will have no objection."

The "Zhongzheng" was silent for a moment.

Then they said in unison again: "Thank you, Elder Ji, for the medicine!"

Ji Changsheng nodded with relief.

Everybody is so polite.
