Chapter 93 My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just

The high-end operation of the number one detective in Xuandu Temple gave Wei Zhongxian, the current spy chief of Shengguo, a little shock.

Wei Zhongxian's knees went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Elder Ji, don't stop me from kneeling. I'm just learning this time."

Ji Changsheng originally wanted to stop Wei Zhongxian, but after hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, he followed his advice and did not continue to stop him.

Because it is spineless to bow down to the powerful.

Kneeling down to worship a famous teacher with an open mind to learn is a form of self-improvement.

The latter is to be encouraged.

"Elder Ji, I only have one question now," Wei Zhongxian asked.

"you say."

Ji Changsheng is very patient.

Wei Zhongxian asked: "If Du Zongjiang wanted to remind Du Zongsheng, he could just use a sound transmission note. Why did he have to write a letter?"

This is indeed a problem.

What era is this?

Faith, as an ancient thing, has basically withdrawn from the stage of history.

In response, Ji Changsheng shook his head helplessly.

"Little Weizi, no wonder you could only be someone else's adopted son before. Your thinking is not open enough."

Wei Zhongxian never felt that his ideas were not open-minded enough before.

But after witnessing Elder Ji's methods yesterday, he realized that compared to Elder Ji, he really had a lot to learn.

"Please give me some advice, elder."

Ji Changsheng pointed out seriously: "Why would a criminal write a letter? That is the criminal's business. What does it have to do with us? Why should we worry about it?"

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Du Zongjiang: “…”

Ji Changsheng continued, "We just found this letter. As for why Du Zongjiang wrote this letter, it should be Du Zongjiang himself who should clarify it. We have no obligation to prove for him that he did not need to write the letter. Xiao Weizi, you can't be too self-defeating. It's too difficult to be all-inclusive. Instead of wasting your time, it's better to throw the problem to others."

At this point, Ji Changsheng turned his gaze to Du Zongjiang, and instantly became solemn and stern: "Tell me, in this day and age, why are you still using such an old-fashioned way of writing letters?"

Du Zongjiang was furious: "Ji Changsheng, you will not die well!"

Ji Changsheng scratched his ears and felt that Du Zongjiang’s vocabulary was a bit limited.

In the end, it all comes down to these words: frame-up and framing.

Uneducated.

Ji Changsheng once again used the Water Mirror Technique to record the entire process of Du Zongjiang cursing him, and then made a final conclusion: "Du Zongjiang openly threatened the investigators and took the lead in resisting the organization's review. He broke the law knowingly, which is an even greater crime."

Wei Zhongxian knelt down to Elder Ji again.

The Six Doors have a bad reputation.

The inner guards made the outer court shudder with fear.

But they weren't really that blatant.

At least we have to go through the process of forcing a confession under torture.

Elder Ji really hit the nail on the head and clearly called a horse a zebra.

Ji Changsheng picked up the letter Du Zongjiang wrote to Du Zongsheng and read it carefully, then commented: "From Du Zongjiang's letter, we can see that he is an old guy, and his writing style is half white and half white. I understand why Du Zongjiang wrote to Du Zongsheng."

Wei Zhongxian humbly asked: "Why?"

Ji Changsheng said, "The sense of ritual. These retro old things all adhere to some traditional sense of ritual of the ancients. For example, writing letters, or liking antique furniture decoration. By the way, is the style of the blessed land where the Du family lives a hundred years ago?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "It is completely the current style. The Du family is very progressive."

Ji Changsheng: “…”

It doesn't matter.

"Does the Du family have a lot of antiques?"

This time Wei Zhongxian nodded: "A lot."

After all, antiques are valuable.

Ji Changsheng nodded with satisfaction: "So everything makes sense. Du Zongjiang himself is quite retro, so he kept the ancient way of delivering messages by letter. Du Zongjiang, you should confess as soon as possible. Leniency will be given to those who confess, severity will be given to those who resist. There will be no good results if you resist the scrutiny of this elder."

Du Zongjiang was so angry that he cried.

For the first time in his life, a Jindan cultivator was so angry that he cried.

Ji Changsheng looked innocent: "Xiao Weizi, you testify for me, I didn't touch him at all, this guy is trying to extort money from me."

Wei Zhongxian nodded vigorously.

Elder Ji is handsome and everything he says is right.

He has no opinion.

Du Zongjiang had some objections.

"Ji Changsheng, who can you fool with this evidence? Can you stop the world from talking? Can you hide it from the Xianmen investigation team? I am a member of the Du family, my brother Du Zongsheng. It won't be easy for you to frame me."

"Yeah?"

Ji Changsheng was somewhat surprised by Du Zongjiang's confidence.

"Isn't what the letter says true?"

Du Zongjiang: “…”

"Isn't that what your Du family does?"

Du Zongjiang: “…”

"Although the letter is forged, everything is true. I posted this letter, do you think I will be the one who suffers?" Ji Changsheng laughed: "Du Zongjiang, are you a little naive? If the Xianmen investigation team really wants to come down to investigate, do you think it will be me or you who will be investigated in the end? I am upright and incorruptible, and I can withstand any investigation. Can your Du family withstand the investigation?"

Wei Zhongxian was greatly enlightened.

"Elder Ji, I understand. You are using the result to infer the process."

"This young man is teachable."

Since the result has been determined, why is it so difficult to infer the process?

As the number one detective in Xuandu Temple, Ji Changsheng is very good at this.

Du Zongjiang calmed down from his anger.

Ji Changsheng's words just now poured a bucket of cold water on him.

The letter was indeed a forgery.

All the evidence was created by Ji Changsheng himself.

But Ji Changsheng's words just now hit the nail on the head - the Du family really couldn't withstand the investigation of the Immortal Sect's investigation team.

unless……

Thinking of this, Du Zongjiang retained a glimmer of hope.

And then continued to be ruthlessly extinguished by Ji Changsheng.

"You are counting on Du Zongsheng to lead the Xianmen investigation team to Shengguo for investigation, right?"

Ji Changsheng smiled and picked up the "confession" that Du Zongjiang had just written.

"Originally, with Du Zongsheng's status in the cultivation world and Fairy Linglong's sword order, cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage were not allowed to enter Sheng Country. As the recognized number one in the Golden Core stage, Du Zongsheng was really qualified to be the leader of this investigation team. Unfortunately, Elder Du put justice above his own family and took the initiative to report his brother. In addition, the matter involved Du Zongsheng's own family, so he had to avoid this matter and even be involved in the investigation."

Du Zongjiang's newly recovered rationality collapsed again: "This letter was not written by me."

"If I say yes, it is, and if I say no, it is also."

Ji Changsheng's laughter sounded so cold and piercing to Du Zongjiang: "Du Zongjiang, when you used Du Zongsheng and Danqing Pavilion to bully others, were you also like this before?"

Du Zongjiang said angrily: "If I am half as good as you in bullying others, I will die without a burial place."

He is so wronged.

How could he be so shameless?

Ji Changsheng sneered, "The biggest difference between you and me is that I am bullying you, and you are bullying ordinary people who have no ability to resist. The strong wield the sword and draw it against the stronger. The weak wield the sword and draw it against the weaker."

"Junior Brother Ji said it well!"

Cao Ziming suddenly appeared and happened to hear Ji Changsheng's words, which instantly resonated greatly with him.

"Junior Brother Ji is a true warrior, while the Du family... are just parasites."

Cao Ziming looked at Du Zongjiang with disdain.

Although Junior Brother Ji's methods were a bit extreme, his intentions were all good.

Moreover, when Du Zongjiang said that Junior Brother Ji was bullying others by taking advantage of his power, Cao Ziming didn't believe it at all.

Apart from anything else, Junior Brother Ji just went to scatter the ashes of Fairy Linglong’s husband.

Whose power are you relying on?

Who are you bullying?

In Cao Ziming's mind, Ji Changsheng's current idol status is unshakable.

And what the Du family did made him more and more convinced that no matter what means Ji Changsheng used to deal with the Du family, it was necessary.

"Senior Brother Du is the number one in the Jindan stage. He is stronger than Junior Brother Ji, and his background is not weaker than Junior Brother Ji. But if the Du family does something illegal, Junior Brother Ji will still enforce the law impartially against the Du family. Du Zongjiang, you want to slander Junior Brother Ji's reputation, but you have found the wrong person."

Cao Ziming first refuted Ji Changsheng, and then said to Ji Changsheng: "Junior Brother Ji, I went to find Zhuo Fanghua's parents as you instructed."

Du Zongjiang's expression changed slightly.

Ji Changsheng nodded and asked, "What was the result? Are they willing to stand up and point out Du Zongjiang?"

In any case, Zhuo Fanghua is a victim.

As long as her parents are willing, Ji Changsheng will definitely help them to seek justice and overturn Zhuo Fanghua's case.

Of course, even if they were unwilling, Ji Changsheng would find other ways to nail Du Zongjiang to death.

I went to find Zhuo Fanghua's parents, just thinking that if they were unwilling to accept it, I would use Du Zongjiang's death to give them an explanation.

Cao Ziming's tone was a little low: "They don't want to show up."

After a pause, Cao Ziming added: "According to your reminder, Junior Brother Ji, I observed carefully. Their family's living conditions are good now, and they have also moved into Danqing Blessed Land."

Ji Changsheng was not surprised.

"It seems that Zhuo Fanghua's life was sold at a good price."

Cao Ziming said unwillingly, "Junior Brother Ji, how about I go and persuade them again? With them coming forward, we can kill Du Zongjiang legitimately."

"Need not."

Ji Changsheng decisively rejected Cao Ziming's proposal.

"Without them, I can just as well kill Du Zongjiang. Zhuo Fanghua's parents are just ordinary people. It is indeed difficult for them to stand up against the Du family. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that we can uproot the Du family this time, and we cannot guarantee that we will be by Zhuo Fanghua's parents' side to protect them all the time. If they stand up, the danger will be very great. Senior Brother Cao, we are doing a just thing, but there is no need to morally blackmail ordinary people in the name of justice. They are very vulnerable."

When Ji Changsheng was on Blue Star, he saw many victims of moral kidnapping and their families who stood up to seek justice for themselves, both on TV and in real life, and ended up getting caught up in even greater turmoil and danger.

And the ones who finally achieved success were the "protagonists" who helped them to uphold justice.

No one cares what happens to these victims in the end.

The "protagonists" also do not have the ability to protect these victims at all times.

What they finally achieved was that they became the embodiment of justice.

Ji Changsheng and his colleagues’ current roles are as the “protagonists” who seek justice for the victims.

But Ji Changsheng had seen other victims caught in the rain and didn't want to tear someone else's umbrella with his own hands again.

Since he really can't be a babysitter, he can only be a good guy with a knife.

"If they are willing to come forward, I will definitely help them fulfill their wish. If they are not willing to come forward, then let them continue to live their lives. The Du family, without Zhuo Fanghua, will still have other ways to kill them."

Cao Ziming took a deep breath and nodded to Ji Changsheng.

"Junior Brother Ji, you are right. I can only help them vent their anger temporarily, but I can't protect them forever. If the Du family retaliates, I can't guarantee that they can stop it. I just can't accept it. Zhuo Fanghua died too unjustly. They are Zhuo Fanghua's parents. Can they really accept living in the blessed land that was bought with their daughter's life?"

Ji Changsheng said calmly: "That is their business, let them feel guilty, we don't need to point fingers, the one who has the right to blame them is Zhuo Fanghua, not us. Don't blame these ordinary people who have no ability to resist, the real perpetrator is Du Zongjiang."

Ji Changsheng looked at Du Zongjiang.

"You are very lucky. You didn't kill Zhuo's parents, and you used money to shut them up, so you avoided dying in this matter."

Du Zongjiang breathed a sigh of relief.

He still thought that Ji Changsheng would continue to frame him with Zhuo Fanghua's affairs.

Just now, Ji Changsheng wrote in the letter that Zhuo Fanghua was a man of courage and bravery, which almost scared him to death.

The bigwigs in the Sheng Kingdom's court all guessed that he was just having sexual desires. Ji Changsheng actually guessed that Zhuo Fanghua's death was related to his brother's status, and Du Zongjiang's soul was terrified.

I almost thought that Ji Changsheng really knew the truth.

He still remained rational, knowing that the Du family could be without anyone, but Du Zongsheng must not be implicated.

As long as Du Zongsheng is alive and maintains his status as the number one golden elixir master and the young leader of Danqing Pavilion, the Du family can prosper forever and he can be rich and glorious.

So he absolutely didn't want Ji Changsheng to continue to investigate Zhuo Fanghua's death in depth.

But he still didn't know Ji Changsheng well enough.

Ji Changsheng doesn't need to investigate at all.

"It can be seen that you have a very good relationship with Du Zongsheng."

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

Ji Changsheng asked Wei Zhongxian: "Does Du Zongjiang like women?"

Wei Zhongxian recalled for a moment, then said objectively, "I like him, but not too much. He is much better than 90% of the dignitaries in Shengguo. Besides Zhuo Fanghua, Du Zongjiang has basically never caused a similar incident. After all, he is an outer sect elder of Danqing Pavilion. The style and rules of Danqing Pavilion are there. His image and character are much better than Bai Xiuran's."

"But Zhuo Fanghua is dead." Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation in detail: "Can a young girl who has only realized the righteousness on her own be more beautiful than those fairies who have already achieved success in cultivation?"

Cao Ziming shook his head: "Impossible, spiritual energy is scarce in the mortal world. Even if there is a blessed land, it is difficult to compare with the fairies who have achieved success in cultivation and are immersed in spiritual energy. Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level of female practitioners, the more beautiful they are. Zhuo Fanghua comprehended the righteous energy on her own, and her strength is at most Qi refining... She can't be too beautiful, let alone not enough to arouse the desire of a Jindan elder of Danqing Pavilion."

At the end of what Senior Brother Cao said, he understood what Ji Changsheng meant.

"Didn't Zhuo Fanghua die because of her appearance?"

Ji Changsheng sneered: "Although Du Zongjiang is not a good-for-nothing, he is the Golden Core Elder of Danqing Pavilion after all, and his brother is the number one Golden Core Master in the cultivation world. He is not a small figure. What kind of beauty has he not seen? Is it worth it for him to ruin his own reputation and kill people to silence them?"

Du Zongjiang's strength is actually higher than Ji Changsheng's.

Ji Changsheng now looks down on ordinary beauties in the world.

After all, they still poop and pee...very disappointing.

It is unlikely that Du Zongjiang's taste is worse than Ji Changsheng's.

"Real geniuses have privileges. Compared to the attraction of a young girl with dirt still in her pores, isn't it more worthy to befriend a genius with a promising future? Du Zongjiang is not a fool. As long as Zhuo Fanghua can cultivate a golden elixir in the future, giving Zhuo Fanghua a set of Danqing blessed land and investing in advance, is it a loss?"

On Blue Star, those who scored top in the college entrance examination received special treatment.

Prestigious schools will scramble for it.

The local officials will also beat drums and gongs, focus on publicity, and even directly reward hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Zhuo Fanghua is no longer an ordinary top scorer in the college entrance examination.

It ranks first in the country.

Or the kind that is leading by a huge margin.

For such a genius, who would care about the rule that one cannot join Danqing Pavilion if one does not buy the Danqing blessed land?

As long as the person in charge of the assessment has a normal IQ, he will definitely give the green light to such a genius.

If you invest in such a genius in advance, the future returns will definitely be amazing.

Cao Ziming came to his senses and said, "Junior Brother Ji, you are right. It is not a loss to do this. Besides, Zhuo Fanghua's talent is definitely not limited to the Golden Core level."

"So, Elder Du has been carrying the reputation of being a lecher for two years in vain."

Seeing Du Zongjiang's gradually pale face, Ji Changsheng's smile became colder: "Zhuo Fanghua did not die because of her beauty, nor did she die because of her arrogance, she died because of her talent. I guess Zhuo Fanghua should be the legendary heart of the zither and courage of the sword, with the same level of talent as the Qinglian Sword Immortal. In terms of talent alone, Zhuo Fanghua is even better than Du Zongsheng."

Du Zongjiang's face was already pale.

Ji Changsheng doesn't need Du Zongjiang's recognition.

"The Du family will naturally try to win over a genius like Senior Brother Cao. After all, Senior Brother Cao is not as talented as Du Zongsheng, nor as ruthless as Du Zongsheng, nor as experienced as Du Zongsheng. But what if a young disciple who is more talented than Du Zongsheng appears?"

Cao Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "The Pavilion Master is in his prime, and is the lord of the Danqing Pavilion's revival. Unless the Pavilion Master himself is willing to abdicate, he can still rule the Danqing Pavilion for at least a hundred years. A hundred years is enough time for Zhuo Fanghua to grow up. By then, Senior Brother Du may not be the most popular candidate for the position of the next Pavilion Master of the Danqing Pavilion."

"So, Du Zongjiang was just the knife that killed people. He didn't kill for himself, but for his brother."

Ji Changsheng's voice made Du Zongjiang's body gradually stiffen. "Even the whole Du family built this Danqing blessed land for his brother. For cultivators, money comes first among money, friends, and land. Without enough spirit stones, how can you support a genius cultivator? As far as I know, Du Zongsheng doesn't go down the mountain often, and he polishes every realm to perfection. This is completely different from me, the 'Jindan Shame' who breaks through without understanding too much. I spend merits in my cultivation, so what does Du Zongjiang spend in his cultivation?"

Cao Ziming took a deep breath: "Spiritual Stone, it can only be Spiritual Stone."

Without taking any other shortcuts, the most orthodox way is to rely on spiritual energy cultivation.

When one reaches the level of Fairy Linglong, breathing out mist is a common occurrence, and one can naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth directly.

However, practitioners at the Jindan level do not have such strong strength, and their efficiency in directly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very low.

At this time, you can only rely on spirit stones.

"How many spirit stones does it cost to be the number one Jindan person in the Jindan realm?"

Ji Changsheng asked a heart-piercing question: "Can the Du family afford the cost of the number one golden elixir master without some special methods?"

“It’s difficult.”

Cao Ziming did a simple calculation and realized that this was not realistic.

"Although the pavilion distributes spirit stones to us regularly, there is a certain amount. Moreover, the system of the pavilion is relatively fair. Although someone with high talent like Du Zongsheng can get more, merit is also very important. The fastest way to cultivate righteousness is to walk in the world, not to practice in seclusion. The number of times Du Zongsheng goes down the mountain... seems to be less than mine."

"Brother Cao, when did Du Zongsheng advance to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Thirteen years ago."

"Wei Zhongxian, when was Danqing Fudi established?"

"Twelve years ago."

"Tsk, this timeline is very subtle. Du Zongjiang, your expression seems to explain everything."

Du Zongjiang panicked.

Cold sweat soaked my whole body.

"It's all false. Ji Changsheng, you are framing my brother."

"Am I framing him?"

"He has hardly ever left the mountain. You want to pin all this on him. It's wishful thinking. No one will believe you."

Ji Changsheng smiled: "Brother Cao, are you a human?"

"Of course."

"Do you believe it?"

Cao Ziming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it!"

Although there is no evidence yet to prove that Du Zongsheng is related to these things.

However, Ji Changsheng's analysis just now was very thorough and Cao Ziming could not find any fault with it.

Most importantly…

"Senior Brother Du has always been known in the Pavilion for his intelligence and ability to judge people. He is praised not only for his talent, but also for his wisdom and talent. Otherwise, he would not have been recognized by many elders as the Young Master of Danqing Pavilion."

Cao Ziming’s talent is not bad either.

But before in Danqing Pavilion, no elder had ever believed that he could become the Pavilion Master in the future.

On the surface, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal is more powerful than the Danqing Pavilion Master Jiang Shiyi.

But no one thinks that Qinglian Sword Immortal is more suitable to be the leader of Danqing Pavilion than Jiang Shiyi.

Those who are recognized by many elders as capable of being entrusted with important tasks may not necessarily be the most talented, but they must be smart enough.

"I can see clearly what Du Zongjiang did. Du Zongsheng is ten times more talented than me, and he has an even closer relationship with Du Zongjiang. It's unreasonable to say that he didn't know!"

"My brother has been in seclusion practicing, Cao Ziming, don't make false statements."

"Regarding this point...I have made some discoveries."

Wei Zhongxian showed his presence at this time.

After all, it was a sudden interrogation that lasted all night.

Although he did not catch Du Zongjiang, he still found out a lot of things during the interrogation.

Wei Zhongxian found two confessions and an account book.

"Elder Ji, Mr. Cao, these two confessions were given by the top leaders of Danqing Fudi. They are all Du Zongjiang's confidants."

"According to what they said, after most of the profits from Danqing Fudi were handed over to the Du family, 90% of them ended up going to Danqing Pavilion."

"It is precisely because of this that no one dares to provoke Danqing Fudi, and they dare not have any other intentions."

Ji Changsheng took the confession and the account book and flipped through them.

Then he handed it to Cao Ziming.

Du Zongjiang became more and more nervous.

Ji Changsheng consoled him, "Don't worry, this is not any useful evidence. You did a very clean job. You basically didn't show up from the beginning to the end, let alone Du Zongsheng. With these evidences on paper, we can't even accuse you, let alone Du Zongsheng."

Du Zongjiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, as the number one detective in Xuandu Temple, I never need evidence to investigate a case."

Ji Changsheng gave himself a thumbs up.

Only by being unconventional can you achieve your goal.

"Junior Brother Ji, evidence is still needed."

Cao Ziming dared to express a different opinion.

His face looked extremely ugly.

No matter what, Du Zongsheng is his previous idol.

It is painful to stop being a fan and turn against others.

But he needs a formal explanation.

"Du Zongsheng's position in Danqing Pavilion is more stable than your position in Xuandu Temple. Without evidence, it will be difficult to do anything to him. Most people in Danqing Pavilion are gentlemen. If they don't see evidence, they will never touch Du Zongsheng. Moreover, Du Zongsheng has a strong reputation. Junior Brother Ji, if there is no hard evidence, you are likely to fall into his trap. He is different from Du Zongjiang."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Ji, you are not a disciple of our Danqing Pavilion, so you don't understand Du Zongsheng's prestige in the Danqing Pavilion. Evidence must be available so that the pavilion can initiate an investigation into him. I have an idea."

"What do you think?"

"Sir Wei, since Du Zongjiang wrote a letter to Du Zongsheng, Du Zongsheng should have also written back to Du Zongjiang."

Du Zongjiang was stunned.

Wei Zhongxian also began to open his eyes.

No wonder we can only be eunuchs in this small Sheng country.

These disciples of the righteous immortal sect are so powerful.

If our family fights with them, we won’t be able to survive a day.

Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously, "Mr. Cao, where do you think Du Zongsheng's reply to Du Zongjiang should be placed?"

Cao Ziming thought about it and said tentatively: "I suspect that Du Zongsheng's reply is hidden under the second tree in his backyard. What do you think, Lord Wei?"

What could Wei Zhongxian say? He could only agree with him: "I think Mr. Cao's idea is great! But there is one problem."

"What's the problem?"

"There is no other tree in Du Zongjiang's backyard."

Cao Ziming's old face turned red.

This is my first time doing something like this and I still have no experience.

Du Zongjiang is going crazy.

"Cao Ziming, what are you doing?"

"Are you still a disciple of Danqing Pavilion?"

"Aren't you afraid of violating the Danqing Pavilion's rules by doing this?"

Ji Changsheng raised his hand and slapped Du Zongjiang, interrupting his roar.

Then he patted Cao Ziming's shoulder with satisfaction: "Brother Cao, you have completed your apprenticeship!"

Cao Ziming said with a flushed face: "It's all because of Junior Brother Ji's good teaching. Junior Brother Ji, you said that my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!"

"Of course, everything we do is for justice!" Ji Changsheng said solemnly: "Remember, imitate Du Zongsheng's handwriting as closely as possible."
