……

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

Instead, it made him 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 deadly 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, "Senior Brother Cao, I have a question."

"what is 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, looked at Junior Brother Ji again, and his tone became 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 the disciples of Danqing Pavilion conduct themselves in the world?

"The dream of scholars and knights throughout the ages is to write with blood and red ink. 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 same realm as you, Brother Cao."

Cao Ziming was speechless.

Apart from anything else, he confirmed that many senior fellow apprentices in Danqing Pavilion, including the elders, 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.

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."

"of course."

"Elder Ji has great wisdom."

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

Most of the “Zhongzheng” people 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 looks 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 raised their glasses and drank.

When everyone put down their glasses, Ji Changsheng announced some exciting news:

"I am very pleased to see everyone working together like this. I have just put some 'tonic' in your glasses. It can strengthen your body and prolong your life, but it also has 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.

Chapter 87: The Court is Full of Politics

Cao Ziming is a bit annoying.

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 Covenant"?

Didn't he violate this rule a long time ago?

There are too many lice and it doesn’t itch.

No, when did he ever violate the Immortal Sect Covenant?

Ji Changsheng was surprised and said, "Brother Cao, what you said is really unreasonable. How can it be a violation of the Immortal Sect's convention if I send some elixirs to you all to strengthen your bodies 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 expressed their opinions hastily:

"Elder Ji is helping us 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 matter of me poisoning the adults was a fabrication, 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 ancient fairyland, the most powerful Nine Revolutions Golden Pill comes from the Taiqing lineage.
