I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 191 Is prison right or wrong?

Heavy snow falls gently on the ground, as if to heal the wounds after the war.

Cao An stood by the window, looking at the smoke in the distance, his eyes unfocused, seemingly caught in a tangled contradiction.

"He has been standing still for a quarter of an hour. Is it okay?" Dean Wan made hot tea in the room and looked at Cao An's back with some worry.

"It should be fine. He usually can't think about things and will be in a daze. It's just that this time, it's just a little longer." Ying Huorong knew Cao An fairly well and said while chewing on the roasted wings.

It seems that in the eyes of the Tsing Yi Department, Cao An is the smartest person, and nothing can trouble him.

But this time, Cao An is really entangled, because this case not only involves mysteries, but also involves people's hearts.

Taking a deep breath, Cao An turned to look at the dean and the official, and said, "I need your help. I can't judge this case anymore."

"Can't tell?"

Cao An's words shocked everyone. In their opinion, wasn't this case over? What else needs to be judged?
  The prisoner was from Mo Renxiang. In order to take revenge, he plotted against the Daxing Dynasty. At this moment, he committed suicide out of fear of crime. Everything was over. What else could not be understood?

"There are so many inconsistencies in this case that I can't decide. The question is: Is Jian Zheng a bad person?"

"Of course he's a bad guy! Isn't this the result you just sentenced?" Zhu Xian was stunned.

The prisoner you caught asked me about it?
  Cao An shook his head: "I said he was a prisoner, but when did I say he was a bad guy? Before I came here, I also asked you for your opinion. What kind of person is the prisoner? Do you still remember your answers?"

nice guy!

This is everyone's answer.

After coming out of the secret vault, Cao An once asked everyone's opinions in the dark room.

Because he remembered that Ying Changfeng had once told him that the prisoner could be trusted, and for this reason, Cao An asked him unnecessary questions.

Although there are many negative comments about that person, such as being a mess, not doing his job properly, being idle, etc., the evaluation of his character has always been very positive.

He is very much like an elder, willing to help anyone who asks for help.

Including the last time Cao An fell into the fear of death, it was Jian Zheng who enlightened him to face his fear. Even Cao An commented positively on him.

It is precisely because of this that Cao An did not take down the prison on the spot after leaving the Immortal Tomb.

Instead, he chose to let Mo Xiaoming monitor him and come to the academy to pick up the person privately. He wanted to find out the truth, but unfortunately Jian Zheng committed suicide.

Zhu Xian listened in confusion: "What more truth is there? He is the envoy of Mo Renxiang, isn't that bad enough?"

"Does Mo Renxiang have to be bad people? Who did you listen to?"

"This is an announcement from Emperor Wan Jing!"

"..."

Cao An didn't even bother to comment on this answer.

Listen to it for yourself. King An's message from thousands of miles away is still echoing outside, and it is Emperor Wan Jing who is scolding him.

In this world, whoever is in power and has a big fist can define good and evil, and there is no reference value at all.

"But putting aside the rumors, he is also trying to bring down Daxing now! He has set up an evil formation in the Immortal Tomb."

"Is that formation evil? Without the [Imperial Law], Ying Huorong died 10 years ago. He was the benefactor of our Tsing Yi Department. Without the [Imperial Law], could Emperor Wan Jing maintain the peace of Daxing for ten years?"

"But what about [bad luck]? It's him who caused the bad luck."

"Yes, but if you look at it from another angle, does it count as cultivating King An's successor?"

Just like what Jian Zheng said himself, if he wants to destroy Daxing, he can just lift the [Imperial Law] with a flip of his hand. In a few years, Daxing will decline and fall. By then, Nanchu and Daomen will attack together, and Daxing will be destroyed.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he worked hard to maintain the formation, maintaining Daxing's only ten years of peace and allowing Daxing to relax.

Is the secret technique in Mo Ren Lane evil?

From some angles, it is indeed very strange, like the human bottle, which sacrificed dozens of lives.

But which road to the emperor is not bloody?

In order to fight against the Taoist sect, Emperor Wan Jing caused the tragedy at Changtianmen, which killed tens of thousands of people. It was just a small matter to criticize and correct those who were evil.

……

"In my mind, I can even construct another version of the good guy's story."

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanjingli, the tomb of Emperor Wanhe suddenly shattered. It was Jian Zheng who saw the road ahead was bumpy and tried to summon his ancestors to help him and rebuild the Huanglong bloodline.

This also explains why Emperor Wan Jing was unwell and gave his uncle the opportunity to steal the tomb.

They just tried in seclusion, but unfortunately they failed in the end.

In the forty-fifth year of Wanjingli, Emperor Wanjing was forced to take a more extreme approach and joined forces with Huangquan Dao to ambush Daomen and Red Fox at Changtianmen.

Unfortunately, the war failed and Daxing faced collapse.

Jian Zheng could no longer watch on the sidelines, so he decided to take action and set up a formation to activate the [Imperial Law] to extend Daxing's life and peace for another 10 years.

But he also knew very well in his heart that Arowana's life was short, and he had to dispel Wan Jing Emperor's crazy and extravagant dream of immortality and becoming an emperor before the end of the road.

Therefore, [bad luck] was introduced to cultivate King An to succeed him.

……

After listening to Cao An's words, everyone stayed where they were, and even the roasted wings on the tinder were hanging in the air.

You were the one who said the prisoner committed a crime, and you were the one who arrested the person. Now you have forced the person to death. Are you telling me he is a good person?
  "I didn't want to force him to death! I was just analyzing the case, and he suddenly committed suicide." Cao An spread his hands, and he was also confused.

Zhu Xian felt his head was a little fried. He rubbed his eyebrows and raised an objection: "No, wait a minute, things are not that simple!" Regardless of whether he is patriotic or not, the biggest crime you accused him of just now is to lead the demon tribe to invade. What do you say about this? "

"This is also the most confusing question for me. The definition of the existence of Mo Ren Lane seems to be cruel and unkind, but also... caring about the world?"

Cao An made some dancing gestures, but it was hard to explain: "He seems to be different from the world we see. Do you understand what I mean?" "I don't understand." Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Well, let's put it this way. Under the premise of having a certain purpose, he is an expert who cares about the people of the world. And this 'world' not only refers to Daxing, but also includes the demon clan. In this matter, you must start from the demon clan. From a clan perspective.”

As soon as Cao An finished speaking, the red fox next to him suddenly appeared, raised his little hand and reported: "From my point of view, he is a good person."

Back then, Daxing plotted against Red Fox and was regarded as an enemy by the demon clan.

Today, many years later, the demon clan is in danger of being exterminated. Mubai is desperate to seek life for the demon clan. From Mu Bai's perspective, she is not wrong.

But no matter how good Mu Bai's reasons are and how great his hatred is, at least Cao An and the others are human beings, so he must stop the demon clan. This is the antagonism between races.

But if he wants to be a prisoner and wants to be a person who cares about the world, then his behavior is understandable.

He is willing to help Daxing stabilize the situation, and he is also willing to help the Yaozu revenge Daxing and continue the inheritance. He is a very contradictory person.

“So you’ll notice a weird thing.

“He has indeed committed countless crimes and is an out-and-out villain.

"But I have received his guidance, Tinder has received his life-saving grace, King An has received his teachings, Daxing has received his edicts, and the demon tribe has received his saving grace...

"It seems that the whole world has been favored by him. Do you think he is a good person?"

Everyone:...

This question made everyone dumbfounded.

It’s not that they want to argue about human nature, but that this big brother is now dead in front of them!
  "Lord Jianzheng! Wake up! Lord Jianzheng~~" Zhu Xian waved the wooden book, trying to save it.

The department official Ying Changfeng on the side also fell into confusion after hearing Cao An's remarks.

Why has Jian Zheng been hiding for decades without being discovered?

Because neither Emperor Wan Jing nor the Tsing Yi Department owed a favor to Jian Zheng.

When his daughter was seriously injured and dying, it was Jian Zheng who proposed to him to use the "Imperial Law" to treat her, which led to the subsequent situation of the two souls becoming one.

Including Xiao Jiu, the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Spirit Son, who fully trusted Jian Zheng and asked Cao An to go up the mountain for advice when nothing happened.

"But if Jian Zheng is really serving the country and the people, why didn't he say it?" Ying Changfeng couldn't understand, and neither could anyone.

"Maybe it's because Mo Ren Lane has its own rules; or maybe it's because you can't see the enemy at all, so it's useless to talk."

"What do you mean? We can't see?"

"Yes, the enemy he wants to fight should be [Ten Eyes]. He is Hua Zhi's son, the eighth prince of the late emperor. You don't remember any of these people."

After hearing Cao An's words, everyone was confused.

They heard Cao An mention the "Ten Eyes", such as Gong Shilang, Qiansi Laodao, and Golden Dragon Fish. It is said that they are all members of the "Ten Eyes".

But they had no impression of the late emperor's eighth prince, Hua Zhi's son.

For this information, Cao An could not answer.

It is said that he cares about the world, but judging from his bad attitude, it really doesn't seem like it.

But he really helped all humans and monsters indiscriminately, using very evil methods.

I can't tell whether it's good or bad. This may be the origin of the name of Ink Man Lane.

Ink is neither black nor white.

The writing, singing, ink and dancing seem to be treacherous and vain, but also seem to have ambitions thousands of miles away.

They have their own set of standards and contradictory styles, which seem very puzzling.

But at least Cao An understood that what Jian Zheng did must have a profound meaning, and just like the [Ten Eyes], it contained a shocking secret.

It's a pity that the hiding methods of these two organizations are too rough. They committed suicide directly when they were found, without giving any chance for questioning.

"But if this person is dead, he is really dead! Why don't you struggle a little?" Zhu Xian looked melancholy on the sidelines. He really couldn't understand the meaning of Jian Zheng's suicide.

Even if they don't understand it, at least say it out. Maybe if everyone understands it, you don't have to die?

Cao An smiled and asked, "Is he dead?"

"Dead!" Zhu Xian breathed and nodded firmly.

After asking, Cao An looked at Xiao Jiu who was acting as a mascot and asked the same question: "Is he dead?"

Xiao Jiu glanced at Jian Zheng and replied coldly: "Not dead."

Everyone:! ! !
  Good guy? Bad guy? dead? Living person?
  Jian Zheng's collapse made everyone confused. Could it be the Taoist puppet substitution technique?

It’s impossible, that’s too realistic!

Everyone was confused, but Cao An didn't hesitate. Jian Zheng's death was easy to understand.

He couldn't tell the secret of Mo Ren Lane, nor could he describe the existence of [Ten Eyes].

When you are unable to speak, but because of your flaws, you may be targeted by the enemy, so getting away is naturally the best way.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. He can be related to Mu Bai. He must have a stronghold in Moren Lane in the Monster Clan. We will check it out later."

Jian Zheng cannot be that simple. His behavior is very contradictory. At least Cao An cannot explain his motives now.

He seemed to be a treacherous and evil person, but also seemed to care about the world. In his last words, he even welcomed himself to join the chess game and looked forward to the next meeting.

Does this mean that if Cao An can remember Hua Zhi's son, he is already a player in the game.

A three-party game about Mo Renxiang, Shi Yan, and Cao An has officially begun.
