Chapter 87: The Court is Full of People
Cao Ziming is a little bit nervous.
Although he learned something, he didn't dare to use this method.
He could only whisper to Ji Changsheng: "Changsheng, you are violating the Immortal Sect's convention by drugging them like this."
Ji Changsheng blinked.
"Xianmen Convention"? Didn't he violate it a long time ago?
There are not many lice and it won't itch.
No, when did he ever violate the Immortal Sect Convention?
Ji Changsheng was surprised and said, "Brother Cao, what you said is unreasonable. How can it be a violation of the immortal sect convention if I send some elixirs to you all to strengthen your body and prolong your life?"
Cao Ziming said anxiously, "Junior Brother Ji, think about it, if cultivators could poison mortals at will, wouldn't the world be in chaos long ago? This kind of thing is strictly prohibited by all major immortal sects, including the Demon Sect. Fairy Linglong personally issued the Linglong Sword Order, which states that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. If a cultivator poisons a mortal, all major sects will eliminate him. Over the years, even the Demon Sect has not dared to violate this rule, at least not openly. Every year, the immortal sects will inspect the major human dynasties, and whenever such things are discovered, they will be dealt with seriously in the end, and all the people involved will die violent deaths, without any accidents."
Ji Changsheng nodded, feeling proud: "Xuandu Temple is indeed the number one immortal sect of the righteous path, and Fairy Linglong is indeed the strongest person in the world, and has been maintaining world peace. As a disciple of Xuandu Temple, I feel deeply honored."
Cao Ziming: “…”
That’s it?
"Junior Brother Ji, this is not the point."
"Then what's the point?" Ji Changsheng didn't care: "I am a disciple of Xuandu Temple. How can I violate the rules set by Xuandu Temple? The Immortal Sect Convention is a contract that the entire cultivation world abides by, and I will not violate it. All my actions are in line with the rules of Xuandu Temple, and they are all carried out without violating the Immortal Sect Convention. This is a matter that the world has witnessed."
Cao Ziming was stunned.
Junior Brother Ji’s vision is indeed higher than his, but he is definitely more shameless than him.
He totally didn't understand how Ji Changsheng could be so righteous?
He thought Ji Changsheng didn't understand, so he tried to explain: "Junior Brother Ji, once this matter gets out, all the major immortal sects will send people to investigate."
Ji Changsheng smiled: "What can we find out from the investigation? People's eyes are sharp. Can the major immortal sects still accuse me of something I have never done?"
After a pause, Ji Changsheng continued: "Besides, does anyone think that I poisoned them?"
Ji Changsheng looked at "Zhongzheng."
The “Zhongzheng” all shook their heads and quickly expressed their opinions: “Elder Ji is helping us to strengthen our bodies and prolong our lives.”
"Anyone who dares to report and spread rumors about Elder Ji behind his back will be our common enemy."
"If the Immortal Sect really sends an investigation team, I will definitely argue for Elder Ji."
"Elder Ji is clearly doing this for our own good, how could he possibly poison us?"
"Mr. Cao, even if you are Elder Ji's senior brother, I will never allow you to slander Elder Ji."
…
Ji Changsheng listened to the statement of "Zhongzheng" and said to Cao Ziming with a smile: "Brother Cao, you see, I said that the story of me poisoning the adults was completely false, and they still have to thank me."
"I really have to thank Elder Ji for the medicine."
"After taking Elder Ji's medicine, my eyesight and hearing are no longer blurry, and I feel strong all over."
"My faith has become even stronger."
"Elder Ji is our family's adopted parent."
Cao Ziming: “…”
He is difficult to judge.
Because he is not that kind of person.
He couldn't utter such flattering words even if he was beaten to death.
Shaking his head, Cao Ziming reminded him, "Junior Brother Ji, it's useless. The major immortal sects sent people to investigate. Even if they all opposed the investigation team, the investigation team could still find out the truth. There have been many such precedents. It's futile for ordinary people to resist the investigation team. The truth can be easily found out."
After a pause, Cao Ziming continued, "And Junior Brother Ji, do you really think that when they face the investigation team, they will say the same thing as they do now?"
Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Of course I believe you gentlemen."
Cao Ziming: “…”
"After all, the weak cannot be nourished, and some tonics can kill people. Although the people who came to the investigation team are all practitioners, they are not necessarily pharmacology experts. When it comes to the art of making elixirs, our Xuandu Temple is unparalleled in the world."
Ji Changsheng stated a fact with a smile.
In the prehistoric fairyland, the most powerful Nine-Transformation Golden Pill comes from the Taiqing lineage.
In this "fantasy world", the most powerful elixir also comes from the Taiqing lineage.
Saint Taiqing is awesome.
When the "righteous" people thought of Ji Changsheng's background, they immediately straightened their already upright positions.
Ji Changsheng’s reminder was correct.
Moreover, Ji Changsheng said in a low voice as if unintentionally: "Xuan Du Temple monitors the injustices in the world. I have never heard of anyone supervising Xuan Du Temple."
"Zhong Zheng" was sincerely convinced.
What they admired was Elder Ji's upright and kind character.
It has nothing to do with Elder Ji’s origin from Xuandu Temple.
Cao Ziming refused to accept.
And very worried.
However, he did not speak out his worries in public, so as not to encourage the "Zhongzheng" to have different ideas. Instead, he reminded him in a voice transmission: "Junior Brother Ji, in Xuandu Temple... you are not the only one who has the final say. And don't forget, you killed Fairy Linglong's husband. If you offend Fairy Linglong, your situation in Xuandu Temple will not be so good. What if the people sent by Xuandu Temple want to embarrass you?"
Ji Changsheng admitted that Cao Ziming's concerns were logical.
pity……
Reality doesn't follow logic.
Fairy Linglong, my future mother-in-law.
Master, my thigh.
I was indeed in a "difficult situation" at Xuandu Temple.
I am almost going to the Demonic Cult to suffer because of these two evil guys.
Of course, this cannot be said to Cao Ziming.
Ji Changsheng could only explain by voice transmission: "Brother Cao, I still say what I said to you before - I will face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow, and I will be willing to be a cow for you!"
Cao Ziming trembled all over and his eyes turned slightly red.
Junior Brother Ji is ready to sacrifice his life for the country.
He could no longer persuade Ji Changsheng, but he decided to send a letter to Danqing Pavilion later.
The emperor of Sheng State was killed, and this matter could not be covered up.
In addition, there is the complicated relationship between Sheng and Ying, as well as the position that Xuandu Temple is beginning to reveal.
Cao Ziming confirmed that there is a 90% chance that the Xianmen investigation team will be dispatched, and the target will be directly aimed at Ji Changsheng.
He couldn't stop this from happening, and he knew that Junior Brother Ji was probably ready to sacrifice his life, but he couldn't just sit back and watch it happen.
Do what you can within your ability.
Rumor has it that Junior Brother Ji is the illegitimate son of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal.
He decided to ask his teachers and fellow disciples for help. If an investigation team of the immortal sect was set up, Danqing Pavilion would definitely send people to participate, and he would definitely ask the pavilion to send senior brothers from his lineage or the Qinglian lineage.
For the sake of Junior Brother Ji, Cao Ziming didn't care even if it meant some shady dealings.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The truth is important, but what is more important is that Junior Brother Ji can be safe and sound, and the people of Sheng Country can live and work in peace.
Ji Changsheng naturally didn't know that Cao Ziming had already thought of this step of behind-the-scenes operation.
He doesn't care about that.
On Blue Star he understood one thing: only the Eagle Sauce goes to other people's homes to uphold "justice", and there is no such thing as other countries going to the Eagle Sauce to uphold justice.
Before Fairy Linglong ascended to heaven, Xuandu Temple was the top-notch version of Eagle Sauce in this world, with a huge gap between it and the people below.
With the support of Fairy Linglong and the master of the temple, Ji Changsheng acted unscrupulously and without any scruples.
Anyway, Fairy Linglong and the temple master had arranged a retreat for him.
The position of the young leader of the Demonic Cult is vacant.
What does he need to worry about? He just needs to do good deeds.
“I am glad to have reached a consensus with everyone.”
Ji Changsheng first tied all the "Zhongzheng" completely to his chariot.
Then he continued, "My Lords, I have a shocking account book here. I hope you can help me understand it."
Ji Changsheng really took out an account book.
He didn't make it up.
He found it out from the dog emperor.
Ji Changsheng handed it to the queen.
The Queen's expression changed slightly after she flipped through it twice. After taking a quick look, she passed it to others.
Soon, all the loyal officials and righteous men in the Baohedian Hall had finished reading the account book.
Ji Changsheng slammed the table angrily.
“I always knew that the blessed land business was profitable, but I didn’t expect the blessed land business to be so profitable.”
"I have always known that the most profitable business in the blessed land was the imperial court, but I did not expect the imperial court to get so much."
"What I didn't expect was that you guys had exploited so much of the people's money, but you told me that the treasury was empty and you couldn't pass on the benefits to the people."
“Where did the money go?”
"Where did all the spirit stones you took from the common people and independent cultivators go?"
"I need an answer."
Ji Changsheng was full of murderous intent.
Just because he stopped Cao Ziming from going on a killing spree doesn’t mean that Ji Changsheng will never kill again.
Illusions are just illusions after all.
If you want the people of Shengguo to live and work in peace and contentment, you need to increase their income and improve their situation.
The problem is that he can't turn into a real spirit stone.
If this group of people doesn't give him a solution, he will have no choice but to kill people.
I believe that as long as more people are killed, there will always be a way.
This turned out to be true.
Ji Changsheng didn't even have to kill anyone, some loyal ministers just knelt down.
There were also some loyal ministers who gave answers quickly.
"Elder Ji, you can see clearly that although the national treasury is poor, the royal family of Shengguo is very rich, the princes and nobles are very rich, and the branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Shengguo is even richer than a country."
After a pause, the loyal minister added without quotation marks: "The Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is as rich as the Ying Kingdom."
Cao Ziming and Ji Changsheng were instantly moved.
There is nothing wrong with being as rich as a country, but a prosperous country has no money in its treasury.
But the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is as rich as Yingguo...
No wonder the master of the temple wants to take action against Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
With so much ill-gotten gains in your hands, who else would die if you didn't? Ji Changsheng looked at this loyal minister in eunuch clothes and praised him, "What suggestions do you have?"
The loyal minister gritted his teeth and uttered six words: "Start a big prison and kill more people!"
Ji Changsheng admired this loyal minister more and more.
"What's your name? Any title?"
"To reply to Elder Ji, I don't have a given name. People call me Little Weizi. I don't have any prestigious position, but the eunuch Bingbi is my godfather."
"Oh, where is the eunuch who holds the pen?"
"...The demon cult leader has just been killed."
Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "Little Wei, remember, don't call yourself a slave anymore. Be a good person. I see that you have the talent to hold the pen, so you will be the eunuch holding the pen. I will give you another name, from now on, you will be called Wei Zhongxian!"
