I'm not immortal

Chapter 524 Investigation
Listening to Jiang Shouzhen's story, Jiang Qi felt a little pity for the person in front of him.

He didn't expect this person to be so unlucky.

"Old man, you are quite unlucky too."

Who would have thought of deliberately setting a trap for Jiang Shouzhen to get in?

"Yeah, I didn't expect Ouyang Zhen to be so shameless as to make a fuss about the White Lotus Sect of Taiping Dao. It's simply unreasonable."

Jiang Shouzhen slammed the table angrily.

It is common for officials to fight openly and secretly. Jiang Shouzhen also understood Ouyang Zhen's eagerness to rise to the top, but he did not expect that Ouyang Zhen would choose this time to do this.

On the other hand, when Jiang Shouzhen saw Zhang Qing and others, he never thought that they were here to support Ouyang Zhen.

What's more, they didn't expect that they would shamelessly attack Lin Guoer, trying to put pressure on Jiang Shouzhen.

However, Jiang Shouzhen wasn't just for a living. After guessing what happened, he was thinking about how to break the situation. Just then, Lin Guoer said that Jiang Qi was coming back.

Then it was natural to use him as a weapon, it was almost a matter of course.

If you want to blame, Jiang Qi is too unlucky.

But Jiang Shouzhen himself would not admit these words.

"I don't understand why they, a group of outsiders who originally didn't care about worldly matters, would publicly express their support for Ouyang Zhen this time."

Jiang Qi said.

He is still familiar with the sects of Longhu Mountain. The real masters all like to hide in the mountains and practice hard, and they don't care about the power in the world at all.

This change from normalcy really left Jiang Qi confused.

"I don't understand this either."

Jiang Shouzhen looked solemn.

He had presupposed many possibilities before, but none of them made sense.

"This matter needs to be handled with caution."

Although those old guys don't care about worldly affairs, once they open their mouths to support someone, I'm afraid the higher ups will be shaken.

This is also what Jiang Qi is most worried about.

"Don't worry, I, Jiang Shouzhen, am not a vegetarian. I have been an official on the battlefield for decades. If I didn't have this ability, I would have been eaten up by others, and not even the dregs would be left."

Jiang Shouzhen said proudly.

The reason why he didn't react before was because he didn't think about it at all. Otherwise, how could he be forced into such an embarrassing situation by Ouyang Zhen.

"The key depends on the follow-up. Ouyang Zhen is still investigating the White Lotus Sect. The investigation department under his control has been investigating evil heretics such as Taiping Dao and White Lotus Sect."

"Regarding this case of missing women, I believe there will be an answer soon. Before that, all we have to do is wait patiently."

Jiang Shouzhen told Jiang Qi to calm down.

……

At the same time, Zhang Qing and others were also meeting in secret.

Several people gathered in an office, and the air pressure was so low that it was hard to breathe.

The disappointment on Ouyang Zhen's face was undisguised. Originally, if everything went well according to today's script, Jiang Shouzhen would be temporarily suspended from all work due to poor performance.

These tasks will then be controlled by Ouyang Zhen, thus completing Ouyang Zhen's magnificent turnaround.

When that time comes, although Jiang Shouzhen is still the director, he is just a bare commander, while he holds real power and acts in a low profile.

"It's really a pity that Jiang Qi comes out at this time. Then Jiang Shouzhen is really lucky."

Ouyang Zhen sighed.

"But if this happens, all our previous plans will come to nothing."

Wei Jiudao said this.

He felt a little pity.

"It doesn't matter, just look for opportunities slowly in the future." Zhang Qing said calmly.

At this moment, he couldn't see the slightest impatience he felt before.

"Nowadays, spiritual energy is recovering, and it is an era of unprecedented changes. Our Daoist sects should actively participate in the world, and deepening cooperation with the authorities is a decision made by our Daoist sects together."

"Relying on the power of the official government to continuously recruit disciples to strengthen ourselves is the goal in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, and in the official organization we need to have a talker with real power."

Zhang Qing looked in the direction of Ouyang Zhen.

Ouyang Zhen was once a disciple of Longhu Mountain and was an out-and-out "one of our own", so when he learned that the sect would support him to be the talker of several sects in the secular world, Ouyang Zhen was not ordinary happy.

That is the power of the entire Taoist sect. With this power, what wish can he not achieve?

"I will definitely do my best."

Ouyang Zhen assured again.

In fact, similar scenes happened more than once, but Ouyang Zhen had to repeat it over and over again every time.

This not only gives Zhang Qing and others confidence, but also deepens their own beliefs.

After hearing Ouyang Zhen's words, Zhang Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as you remember what you said, as long as you don't betray our Taoist sect, we will not abandon you on our own initiative."

"In addition, you need credit next. If we help you, the higher-ups will definitely consider you. But if you don't have the credit, we can't do anything."

"This White Lotus Sect incident is your chance to show your face. We will do our best to help you and we must seize the credit for this achievement."

Ouyang Zhen felt hot all over after hearing this and nodded hurriedly.

"And Jiang Qi, you have to be extra careful. This person has extraordinary methods and can avoid conflicts. It's best not to conflict with these people."

Suddenly hearing Zhang Qing say this, several people looked at him at the same time.

"You tested him earlier, didn't you find out his true identity?"

Lu Changfeng asked directly.

Others may not know, but how can they not understand Zhang Qing's character.

The purpose of deliberately provoking someone to act arrogant was because they wanted to find out Jiang Qi's true identity.

Because of this, none of them cared about winning or losing before.

"That man's cultivation is unfathomable!"

When he said this, Zhang Qing also had a wry smile on his face.

He is obviously just a junior, but his methods are truly extraordinary.

Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this, and it took a long time for someone to say, "How about Dingshan?"

"Dingshan has received the true transmission of Master Fang's Tao, and has mastered the thousands of alchemy techniques. His cultivation level has already reached the level of all major masters."

"The key is that he came with Jiang Qi, and he will definitely be on Jiang Qi's side when the time comes."

Taoist Master Yunhe told what he knew, and these words made everyone feel heavy in their hearts.

"Taoist Master Yunhe, you and Na Dingshan know each other, isn't it possible..."

Wei Jiudao opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted halfway through his words.

"no way!"

Taoist Priest Yunhe's words were decisive and certain.

"To help relatives but not to take care of others, this is Dingshan!"

"Don't forget his birth. Fang Shidao has been a madman since ancient times. Dingshan looks the most normal. Who can guarantee that he is not the most crazy one?"

Taoist Priest Yunhe's explanation caused everyone to fall into silence again.

"Cheng He, how far has Xu Xing's investigation progressed?"
