Chapter 92: The First Detective
of Xuandu Temple Cao Ziming’s righteousness is too dazzling.
In the darkness, he seemed like the only ray of light, rushing straight into the Milky Way and illuminating the entire night sky of Shengjing City.
Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye, who were "flirting", were startled and looked in the direction of the Du family.
Ying Hongye stopped the illusion of chasing Ji Changsheng... frowned and said worriedly: "Brother Cao used the righteous energy? Is this a use of force? Will there be any accidents?"
Ji Changsheng was also a little worried.
Brother Cao is good in every way except that he is too naive and doesn't know how to be flexible and adaptable.
Although in theory, with Cao Ziming's strength at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he should be able to travel freely in the current Sheng Kingdom. However, if he is not smart, he may be killed even if he is very strong.
Ji Changsheng is very good at this.
"Hongye, let's go take a look together."
"good."
Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye quickly flew towards the Du family.
Soon, they arrived at the scene.
Then……
Ying Hongye is a bit stupid.
She saw Du Zongjiang cursing Cao Ziming madly.
"Cao Ziming, you are shameless, you bastard, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Everyone saw it. You stabbed yourself with a sword, and you actually framed me."
"My brother will definitely do justice for me."
"Cao Ziming, do you think you can hide this from the world? So many people saw it, and I didn't even touch you."
At this time, Du Zongjiang had already been captured.
There were restrictions on his body, making him no different from an ordinary person.
So he could only use mental attacks on Cao Ziming like ordinary people.
Ying Hongye was stunned and looked at Ji Changsheng in shock: "Is he talking about Senior Brother Cao?"
Senior Brother Cao is not that kind of person.
"Aren't you the only one who can do such a thing?" Ying Hongye murmured.
When Ji Changsheng heard Ying Hongye say this, he immediately became unhappy: "Hongye, who are you scolding? Am I that kind of person?"
Ying Hongye thought Ji Changsheng would make excuses for himself.
But Ji Changsheng's next words left her speechless:
"If I had done it, how could I have survived so rough? Senior Brother Cao actually gave me a sword. It was unnecessary."
Ji Changsheng shook his head.
The last time he framed Bai Guanlin and took the initiative to attack him, he used all illusions.
You have to be nicer to yourself.
It was obvious that Senior Brother Cao really gave him a sword. Although it seemed that he was doing the same thing as Ji Changsheng, the method was completely different.
Ji Changsheng is obviously an experienced veteran, while Cao Ziming's frame-up is too superficial.
What could Ying Hongye say? She could only give Ji Changsheng a look of contempt, letting Ji Changsheng experience it himself, and then appeared beside Cao Ziming.
"Brother Cao, are you okay?"
"It's okay, cough cough."
Cao Ziming coughed and there was actually a little blood.
Senior Brother Cao's tone was also a little embarrassed: "This is my first time operating, I'm not very experienced yet, I'm sorry to have made you worried."
Ying Hongye looked at the blood coughed up by Senior Brother Cao, and subconsciously began to agree with Ji Changsheng's words: "Senior Brother Cao, just pretend, how can you really give yourself a sword?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Hongye felt bad.
I also began to be led astray by Changsheng.
Cao Ziming was quite ashamed: "I will pay attention next time."
Du Zongjiang's eyes were full of anger.
"There will be a next time? Cao Ziming, you will definitely be punished. You are Ying Hongye... Ji Changsheng... Wait, I understand, you are in the same group. You are not here for Zhuo Fanghua, you are here for Danqing Blessed Land."
After seeing Ying Hongye and Ji Changsheng in succession, especially Ji Changsheng, Du Zongjiang finally reacted.
In fact, ever since Ji Changsheng received the transfer order to Sheng State, Du Zongjiang also came to Sheng State.
Before setting off, Du Zongsheng personally gave him instructions, asking him to pay attention to Ji Changsheng's actions and judge the actions of Xuandu Temple.
The situation in the prehistoric fairy world was treacherous, and the Taiqing saints made frequent moves. Under the general trend, they were all forced to participate.
Du Zongsheng, the number one Jindan master, is just an insignificant little shrimp in such a fight.
He couldn't get any useful information from other channels, so he could only keep a close eye on Ji Changsheng.
So Du Zongjiang came to Sheng State.
When Du Zongjiang found out that Ji Changsheng was planning to take over the Fudi business, he had a bad feeling.
But he didn't expect Ji Changsheng to act so quickly.
Ji Changsheng has only been in Shengguo for a few days...
The matter of Taiping Blessed Land was just resolved during the day, and now Ji Changsheng has set his sights on Danqing Blessed Land? Du Zongjiang really wanted to ask Ji Changsheng, aren't you tired? Obviously, Du Zongjiang didn't know Ji Changsheng very well.
Ji Changsheng's efficiency is so high that even a mentally ill person like Li Changxi would find it abnormal.
Before Li Changxi could react, Ji Changsheng had already killed Bai Shizhi.
With Ji Changsheng's efficiency, he can take care of Taiping Blessed Land during the day and Danqing Blessed Land at night. It is completely within his range.
"Ji Changsheng, Danqing Blessed Land is not Taiping Blessed Land. We have never cheated customers who bought Danqing Blessed Land. If you want to take action against Danqing Blessed Land, Danqing Pavilion will not agree, and Xuandu Temple will definitely not agree either."
Ji Changsheng glanced at Du Zongjiang.
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to represent Danqing Pavilion and Xuandu Temple?"
Du Zongjiang said: "My brother is Du Zongsheng."
"My father is the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal."
Du Zongjiang: “…”
Ji Changsheng smiled and tapped his head with the handle of the knife, kindly reminding him: "Don't compete with me on background. I never care who your background is, because your background can't be stronger than mine."
Du Zongjiang was dissatisfied: "My brother is the Pavilion Master's personal disciple."
Ji Changsheng used the handle of his knife to directly knock out three of the guy's teeth.
"My senior sister is the daughter-in-law of Fairy Linglong. Am I proud?"
Actually, I'm proud of it.
Everyone lowered their heads, pretending not to see Ji Changsheng beating the "prisoner".
Ji Changsheng reminded him again, "Recall carefully how you harmed Zhuo Fanghua back then. This time we arrested you to help Zhuo Fanghua overturn the case. As for Danqing Fudi, we have to investigate whether there is anything wrong. Maybe you will confess some illegal things of Danqing Fudi in prison."
"Bah, you're dreaming."
Du Zongjiang looks very tough.
"Ji Changsheng, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand in Shengguo. I have already explained the situation to my brother, and he will come to Shengguo in person soon. You are just a shame of the Golden Core, so what if you are from Xuandu Temple? In a battle of the same level, my brother will definitely kill you with his sword, and Xuandu Temple will not be able to save you."
Du Zongjiang didn't just say this to Ji Changsheng.
This was also said for the Du family to hear.
Don’t be afraid of this “devil” in front of you.
Our Du family has a stronger backing.
Ji Changsheng smiled: "I like people with tough bones, Lord Wei, catch him and treat him well, and see how tough his bones are."
"Don't worry, Elder Ji."
Wei Zhongxian readily agreed.
Du Zongsheng is a god in the eyes of the Du family.
But Wei Zhongxian had just come from Baohedian.
All the "officials" in Baohe Hall knew that in Ji Changsheng's eyes, Du Zongsheng was just a pile of dead bones in a tomb.
It was better that he didn't move.
If he dares to move, Li Changxi will probably help Du Zongsheng advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
A dying man, no matter how famous he is, cannot scare Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian was only afraid of Elder Ji's methods.
Therefore, he must treat Du Zongjiang well.
Ji Changsheng was too lazy to bother with Du Zongjiang, a dying man.
Compared with Du Zongjiang, Cao Ziming is more important to him.
After confirming that Cao Ziming's injury was not serious, Ji Changsheng carefully instructed him: "Brother Cao, you are right to do this. You have made great progress compared to before."
Cao Ziming became excited.
I am happy to be recognized by my idol.
"But there is still room for improvement, so don't be proud."
Cao Ziming humbly asked: "Please give me some advice, Junior Brother Ji."
Ji Changsheng said: "You gave yourself a sword, there is no need to talk about this, it is not necessary at all. When you are out in the world, you must learn to protect yourself."
Cao Ziming nodded seriously: "I understand, I will pay attention next time."
Ji Changsheng continued, "Also, since you want to frame Du Zongjiang for resisting arrest and attacking you, you shouldn't stab yourself in public. You should walk up to Du Zongjiang and pretend to whisper to him so that bystanders can't see your specific movements. At this time, you suddenly vomit blood and fly back, and then put the blame on Du Zongjiang. Without you saying anything, bystanders will naturally think it was Du Zongjiang who did it."
Cao Ziming's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he nodded repeatedly: "Junior Brother Ji, I got your point. I was wondering why others looked at me differently after I used a sword. I see."
Ying Hongye covered half of his face, unable to bear it any longer.
The incident of Ji Changsheng framing Bai Guanlin not long ago came back to her mind.
Everything is still fresh in my mind.
It seems like it happened yesterday.
She could see that Ji Changsheng was really teaching with all his heart.
Cao Ziming is also really studying hard.
One dares to teach, the other dares to learn.
It was difficult for her to comment on this.
Danqing Pavilion asked Brother Cao to go down the mountain because they really wanted him to improve his skills and gain more experience, but they didn't say that they wanted you to train him to be a demon cult monster who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Ying Hongye sighed inwardly, feeling that after being led astray by Ji Changsheng, Senior Brother Cao would also be led astray.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Cao's righteousness did not seem to be affected.
The merit of longevity was not affected at all.
Thinking of this, Ying Hongye's perspective opened up a little, and he refreshed his understanding of the spirit of merit and righteousness.
"Overall, the flaws outweigh the merits. Senior Brother Cao, you have made rapid progress. I am still very pleased."
Ji Changsheng gave the man a beating but did not forget to give him a sweet treat.
He felt that he was becoming more and more like a famous teacher.
Look at Brother Cao, how well he is being taught by me.
Ji Changsheng will not be satisfied if Danqing Pavilion doesn't give me a big red envelope.
Cao Ziming also felt that he was making rapid progress.
"It's all thanks to Junior Brother Ji's teaching." Cao Ziming said truthfully, "If it weren't for Junior Brother Ji's guidance, I would have no choice but to rush forward when encountering such a thing. In the end, not only would I not be able to get justice for Zhuo Fanghua, I would also most likely get myself involved. Although I have used some despicable means now, the result is good. If Zhuo Fanghua knew about this, he would definitely agree with my approach."
Ji Changsheng patted Cao Ziming on the shoulder and reminded him again: "Your methods are not despicable at all. When dealing with demons and monsters, there are no rules. Adults only look at the results. For the sake of a just ending, even if we are misunderstood by the whole world, it is no big deal."
Cao Ziming nodded vigorously: "I understand, and I understand more and more. Junior Brother Ji, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. We still have a long time to live together. Just wait and see. I won't let you down."
"Um...interrupt for a moment."
Ying Hongye couldn't bear to listen any more.
"People who don't know would think you two are a couple." Ying Hongye complained, "You two won't have much time together, two men, don't be so corrupt. It's getting late today, go back to sleep. Tomorrow, Sheng Country will definitely have a new round of storms, and there will be intrigues."
Ji Changsheng did a lot of things today.
He took the Queen Mother as his dog.
Kill the dog emperor.
Killed the third prince.
The "Zhongzheng" people were drugged.
Du Zongjiang was also arrested and the Du family was affected.
Any one of these incidents, if taken alone, would be enough to cause an uproar in Sheng State.
Ji Changsheng did it all in one day.
It is conceivable that there will be a huge uproar in the court of Sheng State tomorrow.
The "Zhong Zheng" controlled by Ji Changsheng were all on duty in the inner court at the time. Although there were also ministers from the outer court, they were not many.
Therefore, it cannot be said that he has completely controlled the court situation of Sheng State.
Ying Hongye was reminding Ji Changsheng that he would be busy tomorrow.
Ji Changsheng didn't care about this at all.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"There won't be any intrigue." Ji Changsheng said.
Ying Hongye asked curiously, "How is that possible? Changsheng, you don't think that these old foxes in the court can all do what you want, right?"
Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "When I was not strong enough, I played tricks with them. Now that I have a stronger background and stronger strength than them, why should I play tricks with them? I will keep those who can work for me, and send those who can't to see Du Zongjiang. I don't have time to play with them."
Ying Hongye: "... Changsheng, you are being overbearing."
"No, this is my way!" Ji Changsheng instructed seriously: "Hongye, my fist is big, whatever I say is right."
Ying Hongye: "It's obvious that Senior Brother Cao has the biggest fist."
Cao Ziming changed sides on the spot: "I will listen to Junior Brother Ji."
Ying Hongye looked up at the sky.
The stars are pretty.
"Anyway, go to bed early."
"Well, Hongye, you will accompany me to the Bai family cemetery tomorrow."
"What are you doing at the Bai family cemetery?"
"Bai Shizhi has created so many names for the Fudi business that it makes me sick. If I don't destroy him and scatter his ashes, I won't be able to follow the path of Taoism."
Ying Hongye and Cao Ziming both knelt down before Ji Changsheng.
Cao Ziming was full of admiration: "Junior Brother Ji, be careful. Death is the greatest thing. After all, Bai Shizhi is Fairy Linglong's husband. Although he is indeed disgusting and a complete scumbag, Fairy Linglong still has to give him face."
Ji Changsheng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Brother Cao, your reminder makes sense."
Although he already knew that Fairy Linglong and Bai Shizhi had nothing to do with each other, he really couldn't challenge Fairy Linglong's bottom line again and again in public, otherwise others would notice that there was something wrong between him and Fairy Linglong.
And if that happened, Fairy Linglong would be embarrassed.
"In that case, let's pretend to be members of the Du family." Ji Changsheng readily agreed: "I will become Du Zongjiang, and Fairy Linglong will only vent her anger on the Du family."
Cao Ziming is an example that I admire.
It’s hard to describe Ying Hongye in words.
"Is immortality necessary? People are dead."
"It is necessary. This kind of business of creating blessed lands has brought disaster to countless ordinary people and independent cultivators. They should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, cursed by the world, and their bones and ashes scattered. I killed him with just two shots before, which was too easy for him. If I don't grind his bones and ashes scattered, I will be sorry for my loyal heart!"
Ying Hongye: "...Forget it, as long as you are happy."
"Let's do it together. I'll make you happy too. Hongye, don't you think it's exciting to whip the corpse of Fairy Linglong's husband?"
Ying Hongye felt that Ji Changsheng was really poisonous.
But to be honest...it is indeed very exciting.
"Let's go together. The Ying family has never been afraid of anyone."
Ying Hongye also gave it his all.
Cao Ziming felt that he would be out of place if he didn't participate.
"Then I'll come too?"
Ji Changsheng waved his hand and said, "No problem. The three brothers and sisters must be together, share the good times, and let the Du family handle the difficulties."
…
The next day.
Six doors.
Ji Changsheng stepped in here around ten o'clock in the morning.
At this time, he had just returned from the Bai family cemetery.
He was holding a small box in his hand.
Bai Shizhi has fulfilled his mission and has been reduced to ashes.
He came to see the interrogation of Wei Zhongxian.
But the situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined.
"Elder Ji, I am ashamed and sorry for your high regard."
Wei Zhongxian felt his face burning.
"The rest of the Du family has confessed to many illegal things, but as for Du Zongjiang... I can't do anything to him. The torture instruments of the Six Gates and the Inner Court can't have much effect on the body of a Jindan-stage cultivator. He is gritting his teeth."
Ji Changsheng suddenly realized.
After all, Du Zongjiang is an outer sect elder of Danqing Pavilion with the cultivation level of Jindan stage. Although his magic power is sealed, his physical strength is still there.
No wonder he was so confident when facing Ji Changsheng last night.
"This is not your fault, it's my negligence."
Ji Changsheng discovered the strength of the Jindan stage body when he used explosives to bombard Bai Xiuran.
I really didn't pay attention this time.
He was a reasonable man. Since it was not Wei Zhongxian's fault, he would not blame Wei Zhongxian.
"Show me the confessions of the other members of the Du family."
Wei Zhongxian quickly took the confessions of other members of the Du family.
Ji Changsheng took a quick look and found that Wei Zhongxian's overnight interrogation was effective.
A big family like the Du family has committed too many illegal things.
There might be some innocent people killed if they were all killed, but there would be absolutely no problem if only 70% or 80% were killed.
It includes many inside stories of Danqing Fudi and also many behind-the-scenes operations.
These confessions alone are enough to set off a bloody storm in Sheng State.
However, what made Ji Changsheng frown was that Du Zongjiang was basically not involved in these confessions.
"Danqing Fudi's secret operation has nothing to do with Du Zongjiang?"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "Du Zongjiang is very careful. He has kept himself out of the matter on the surface. It seems that he has never interfered in the affairs of Danqing Fudi. At least, he has not let other people in the Du family find any traces."
"Didn't you find any clues related to Du Zongjiang in Zhuo Fanghua's case?"
Wei Zhongxian told the truth: "At that time, there were only Zhuo Fanghua and Du Zongjiang in the room. The others were outside and had no idea what happened. Du Zongjiang said that Zhuo Fanghua fell accidentally, and no one could disprove it. Du Zongjiang even said before that it was Zhuo Fanghua who deliberately took off her clothes to seduce him in exchange for the opportunity to take the assessment of Danqing Pavilion."
Ji Changsheng's face darkened.
"Based on the existing evidence, it seems that we can't do anything to Du Zongjiang?"
Cold sweat appeared on Wei Zhongxian's forehead.
"Forgive me, Elder Ji. Give me a little more time and I will be able to find out the truth. Du Zongjiang is the Du family's protective umbrella in Sheng State. He can't run away."
Ji Changsheng glanced at the dark circles under Wei Zhongxian's eyes and did not embarrass him any further.
Wei Zhongxian certainly didn't sleep that night.
It was not Wei Zhongxian's fault that no evidence was found against Du Zongjiang. It was because Du Zongjiang himself acted too cleanly and had cleared himself long ago.
"Okay, leave the rest to me." Ji Changsheng said, "Follow me and learn well. I have a nickname in Xuandu Temple - the No. 1 Detective of Xuandu Temple!"
Wei Zhongxian was instantly filled with awe.
"I will study hard."
Then, Wei Zhongxian witnessed the high-end investigative methods of the number one detective in Xuandu Temple.
"Du Zongjiang, do you plead guilty?" Ji Changsheng asked.
Du Zongjiang sneered: "Show me the evidence. Can a disciple of Xuandu Temple frame an elder of Danqing Pavilion out of thin air?"
Ji Changsheng looked at Du Zongjiang in confusion, and said one sentence to Du Zongjiang, "Why not?"
Du Zongjiang: “…”
Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Wei Zhongxian, can you be sure that Du Zongjiang is guilty?"
"Of course, if Du Zongjiang hadn't protected the Du family, the cancer of the Du family would have been eradicated long ago."
"That's fine."
Ji Changsheng nodded: "Since Du Zongjiang's guilt has been confirmed, the rest is very simple. Du Zongjiang, you are so bold that you dare to touch the ashes of Fairy Linglong's husband."
At the end, Ji Changsheng became furious.
Du Zongjiang was confused: "When did I move Bai Shizhi's ashes?"
Ji Changsheng placed the small box on the table.
"Now."
Du Zongjiang's eyes were red with anger: "Ji Changsheng, are you really going to frame me?"
Ji Changsheng snapped his fingers and created a curtain of water.
In the water mirror technique, "Du Zongjiang" is grinding Bai Shizhi into ashes.
Du Zongjiang's eyes almost popped out.
“This is not me.”
Ji Changsheng was even angrier than Du Zongjiang: "There is a video and the truth, and you are still stubborn even when you are about to die. Death is the greatest thing. For the sake of Fairy Linglong, Ji will not touch Bai Shizhi's ashes. You are unscrupulous in order to embezzle the Bai family's property."
After his anger subsided, Ji Changsheng asked Wei Zhongxian again: "Did the Du family embezzle the Bai family's property?"
He really wasn't sure about this matter.
Wei Zhongxian: "...Yes, most of the Bai family's assets in Shengguo fell into the hands of the Du family."
Ji Changsheng slammed the table and stood up: "Du Zongjiang, you still said that you didn't target the Bai family."
Du Zongjiang almost bit off his steel teeth.
"Ji Changsheng, my brother is Du Zongsheng. If you frame me like this, my brother will definitely not tolerate you."
"Oh, you mean Du Zongsheng."
Ji Changsheng nodded and told Wei Zhongxian: "Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and show me Du Zongjiang's old letters."
Wei Zhongxian quickly presented writing materials, ink, paper, and inkstone as well as Du Zongjiang's previous letters.
Ji Changsheng took a quick look at it, then began to write: "Dear brother, I am very happy to see you in person. First of all, I wish you to make further progress in your cultivation and ascend to the position of Young Master of Danqing Pavilion as soon as possible.
Brother, I want to tell you something. Cao Ziming has evil intentions and is trying to expose what we did in the past.
The girl named Zhuo Fanghua is a brave and virtuous woman, born to be the heir of Danqing Pavilion. If she joins Danqing Pavilion, it will definitely threaten your position, brother.
And she was indeed stunningly beautiful.
That's why I became greedy two years ago. Firstly, I wanted to satisfy myself, and secondly, I didn't want to shake my brother's position in Danqing Pavilion.
This matter has already been suppressed by me, and with you, my brother, in the cabinet, no one knows about it.
But Cao Ziming had ulterior motives and wanted to reopen the old case.
Brother, you have to be careful of Cao Ziming.
He not only wants to investigate Zhuo Fanghua's death, but also wants to investigate our Danqing blessed land in Shengguo.
Who doesn't need resources among practitioners? Brother, as the number one Jindan master, how can you maintain your position without the support of Danqing Fudi? Even if there are some shady means, what does it matter? Cao Ziming's investigation of Danqing Fudi was clearly aimed at you, brother.
Please give me some advice, brother. In my opinion, Cao Ziming cannot be kept! I hope you are well. I hope you are well. "
After finishing writing the letter to Du Zongsheng in Du Zongjiang's handwriting, Ji Changsheng blew on the ink that had not yet dried.
Du Zongjiang's eyes were red with anger: "Ji Changsheng, you are framing me, you will not have a good death!"
Ji Changsheng ignored the dying man and looked at the stunned Wei Zhongxian, patiently instructing him: "Have you learned it? High-level investigations often only require simple operations."
