Shi Yao put away the sound transmission talisman, feeling a little solemn.
Hua Pinzhen has always respected her and helped her deal with many trivial matters in the Guanyin Temple.
As the true descendant of Guanyin Temple, Hua Pinzhen is no small figure in Guanyin Temple.
Guanyin Temple really needs an explanation for her death.
And she also had to give an explanation to the headquarters, because the Guanyin Temple on the Qi side could no longer send stronger personnel.
Thinking of this, Shi Yao glanced at Ji Changsheng, who was still bathed in the Buddha's light and had a golden lotus of merit on his head, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Zhenzhen probably didn't do too many bad things. How could he have so many merits by killing Zhenzhen? And why did he receive the favor of the Bodhisattva?"
Shi Yao didn't understand many things.
But she soon figured out another thing:
"It turns out that it was the demon girl from the Heavenly Demon Cult who was pretending to be me."
Maintaining the Yaoguang Luohuan all the time consumes a lot of mana.
Even though Ji Changsheng had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, the scene he created just now was too huge.
In order to show the grand scene of Guanyin Bodhisattva descending to the earth, Ji Changsheng could not be negligent in the slightest, so he attacked without reservation.
If this continues for a long time, Ji Changsheng will find it hard to bear it.
But when Ji Changsheng took back Yaoguang Luohuan, Ren Suqiong's illusion was not good enough.
It might be okay to deceive ordinary people in Qi, but for Shi Yao, who is almost universally recognized as the number one Yuanying person, it is far from enough.
Ji Changsheng and Ren Suqiong didn't know that they had been exposed.
The two walked side by side towards Shi's house, and Ren Suqiong prepared to retreat halfway.
"Changsheng, let Hongye continue to play Shi Yao." Ren Suqiong said: "Most of the disciples of Danqing Pavilion are now in the Shi family. It will be easier for Hongye to deal with them."
Ji Changsheng nodded.
This was what he had originally planned, but Ying Hongye took the initiative to give the opportunity to Ren Suqiong.
"Su Qiong, are you and Hongye getting along well?"
Ren Suqiong nodded and said, "Yes, Hongye is a very cute little girl, very innocent and enthusiastic. Changsheng, don't bully her casually."
Ji Changsheng: "...Su Qiong, you are just ruthless and cruel."
He is far inferior to Ying Hongye in playing tricks.
Ren Suqiong added: "My talent is also much higher than Hongye's."
Ji Changsheng couldn't refute.
"Okay, Hongye is here, you guys go to Shi's house."
Ren Suqiong decisively completed the handover with Ying Hongye.
"Goodbye, Sister Ren." Ying Hongye was indeed very enthusiastic.
Ji Changsheng looked up at the sky.
That’s up to my sister.
No, it seems that when we were in Sheng Kingdom, she was already Sister Ren.
"Changsheng, let's go. Senior Brother Cao seems to have discovered some shady secrets in the Shi family."
Shi Yao, who had originally planned to quietly follow Ren Suqiong, knock her out and find out what had happened in Qi State, stopped instantly when she heard Ying Hongye say this.
Shi Yao herself felt ashamed. As the real boss behind the Shi family, she really had no idea what had happened to the family.
Just as Ji Changsheng had expected, Shi Yao put more of her thoughts on her own cultivation. As the saying goes, hard work pays off, so she became the most recognized person in all major sects, and the first person in the Nascent Soul Realm. Behind all this was her dedicated cultivation.
Therefore, she lacked attention to the Shi family.
Not all of them know as much as Ji Changsheng.
Before, when Ji Changsheng wanted to investigate the Shi family in public, Shi Yao remained silent. Not only was it because she didn't understand what exactly happened, but also because she didn't even know whether the Shi family was involved in these things.
Shi Yao hesitated for a moment. Ren Suqiong was at the Nascent Soul stage. Although she was absolutely sure that she could take down Ren Suqiong, she was not sure that there would be no noise.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to follow Ji Changsheng to the Shi family to see what happened.
After a while.
Shi family.
Shi Yao looked at the magnificent Shi family manor with its carved beams and painted rafters, and then thought of the skinny and pale fanatics who had worshipped Guanyin Bodhisattva before, and her face instantly turned cold.
For many things, we don't have to wait for final evidence to know what happened. The Shi family's current mansion alone is not of a standard that an ordinary prime minister in the mortal world can live in.
Ying Hongye said the same thing.
This was also her first time to visit the Shi family. As soon as she stepped into the door of the Shi family, Ying Hongye was shocked: "These are Lingyu bricks, Lingyu paved the floor... It's too luxurious. Even our Ying Kingdom Palace doesn't dare to be so extravagant. Changsheng, the Lingyu bricks we see alone are worth more than 1 billion high-quality Lingshi. The Shi family's manor is even more luxurious than an ordinary paradise."
Ji Changsheng's expression also turned cold.
"It's much more luxurious than the Shengguo Palace."
Ying Hongye nodded: "Most of Shengguo's spiritual stones are in the hands of the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Although the royal family has money, they can't afford to be so extravagant. However, in Qiguo, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce can only retreat to the second line, and Guanyin Hall is the strongest. But looking at the specifications of the Shi family and the branch of Guanyin Hall, I am almost certain that the bulk of their greed was withheld by the Shi family and the Qiguo branch of Guanyin Hall themselves, and the main hall of Guanyin Hall definitely got a small portion."
At this point, Ying Hongye had some enlightenment: "Qi and Sheng are about the same size, and Qi's natural environment is even better. Under such circumstances, the people of Qi seem to be living a little worse than those of Sheng, which is very wrong. Now it seems that the gap between the two levels of Qi is worse than that of Sheng, and the food is uglier than that of Sheng."
Ji Changsheng said indifferently: "I think the Shi family must have made great contributions to this situation."
"One hundred percent." Ying Hongye's tone was very firm: "In Qi State, the ones who have the final say are the emperor and the Shi family. The Shi family's say is probably even greater than that of the royal family."
Ji Changsheng nodded slightly.
"I hope the Shi family hasn't transferred their property out yet. As long as they haven't transferred it away, if we confiscate the Shi family's property, the property we get may be enough for us to transform the entire Qi State." Ying Hongye said hopefully.
Not all of her wishes came true.
But most of it has been accomplished.
Because Cao Ziming's sharp and decisive attack exceeded everyone's expectations.
Before the Shi family had the chance to actually transfer their property, they were controlled by Cao Ziming using thundering means.
When Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye arrived at the Shi family, seven people had already died.
They are all stubborn elements who are stubborn and resist stubbornly.
When seeing the bodies of three of them, Shi Yao's eyes twitched violently.
One is her cousin, one is her cousin, and the other is her younger brother's wife.
Although she hasn't been home for twenty years, she still remembers these three people.
Now, they are separated by death.
Cao Ziming quickly introduced the basic situation of the Shi family to Ji Changsheng.
"The seven guys who died were all stubborn and hard-core. They would rather throw a tantrum under my sword than confess and be lenient. Junior Brother Ji said that there is no need to follow any rules when dealing with the demons of the Demon Cult. Kill a few people and they will behave themselves."
Ji Changsheng nodded: "I said it, it works, right?"
"It worked. After killing these seven guys, the rest of the Shi family became obedient. The evidence they provided made me regret letting them die so easily."
"It doesn't matter. These demons may not be able to rest in peace after death."
Ji Changsheng released the White Bone Palace, covering all seven bodies. He waited until he had time to slowly process them, and then asked, "How's the investigation going?"
"The crimes are so heinous that they cannot be described in words."
"He is full of evil and has a ruthless heart."
"He does all kinds of evil, and is hated by both humans and gods."
"He has a human face but a beast's heart. He deserves to die."
The person who spoke was not Cao Ziming.
It was the other Danqing Pavilion disciples who were expressing their feelings in indignation.
Ji Changsheng had to raise his hand to stop these people from expressing their feelings: "Alright, let's get to the point. What did you find out?"
"Master Ji, I am truly ashamed."
Wei Tingbao first bowed deeply to Ji Changsheng, then stood at attention and took the beating: "You are right. We cannot be too strict with the rules when dealing with this kind of demon. The Shi family... is outrageous. We actually found more than 100 billion spirit stones from the Shi family."
When Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye heard the number 100 billion, their brains went blank for a moment.
Shi Yao was completely confused in the dark, thinking she was hallucinating.
To her, this number sounded like a fantasy.
"Tell me again, how many spirit stones did you find?" Ying Hongye asked subconsciously.
"To be precise, it is 148.9 billion high-quality spirit stones."
When Wei Tingbao said this, he raised his hand and slapped himself.
"It's my fault that I acted too late, slowing down Ziming's speed of action and allowing the Shi family to use the remaining channels of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce to transfer 20 billion. Otherwise, it should be close to 170 billion high-quality spirit stones. The Shi family... should be exterminated."
No further evidence is needed.
With nearly 170 billion high-quality spirit stones, he is richer than many small and medium-sized sects.
This is definitely a crime of having a huge amount of spiritual stones of unknown origin.
"Master Ji, don't worry. I will be responsible for recovering the 20 billion." Wei Tingbao also showed murderous intent. "If one high-grade spiritual stone is missing, I will ask Guanyin Temple to pay a hundred times. This matter must not be let go at the Shi family's door. It is simply appalling."
Ji Changsheng agreed with Wei Tingbao's opinion: "It is indeed appalling. I feel like a bumpkin. One hundred and seventy billion high-grade spirit stones... How many people will be harmed by this?"
"A lot. That Prime Minister Shi really has the talent to punish nine clans for corruption and abuse of power." Wei Tingbao was so angry that he laughed. "There are many things I have never heard of. He got the spirit gathering array map from the Guanyin Temple in the name of Shi Yao. He also promoted the Guanyin blessed land in Qi in the name of the Guanyin Temple. That's fine. He told the Guanyin Temple that he would vigorously promote the teachings of the Guanyin Temple in Qi and defrauded a large amount of spiritual stones from the main temple as funds. Then he told the people of Qi that Guanyin would not save those who had no fate, and that everyone needed to donate a little spiritual stone in order for the Bodhisattva to protect the entire world. The Guanyin Temple has 480 halls. Many people in the main temple thought that it was built with the funds of the main temple, and many people in Qi thought that they donated it voluntarily, but in fact it was all built by the Shi family. In the end, whether it was the funds allocated by the main temple to Qi or the spiritual stones voluntarily donated by the people of Qi, the majority fell into the hands of the Shi family."
Shi Yao's body began to tremble.
She remembered that her brother had indeed applied to the main hall, saying that because of her presence, the Guanyin Hall had all the necessary conditions to become bigger and stronger in Qi.As long as the main hall supports it, the Guanyin Hall can definitely expand its influence in Qi State and become the number one immortal sect in Qi State.
Someone in the main hall asked if this was her intention, and she said at the time that it was enough to handle it impartially. She thought it was always a good thing to expand the influence of Guanyin Hall. The teachings of Guanyin Hall are also to guide people to be good, so how could her brother do evil?
It turns out, it really can.
Moreover, she had unknowingly become an accomplice.
What opened Shi Yao’s eyes even more was yet to come.
"What the Shi family did has already put Qi in a huge mess. In addition, Prime Minister Shi also encouraged the emperor to believe in Guanyin and worship at the branch of Guanyin Temple once a year. Then, the civil and military officials headed by Prime Minister Shi spent a huge amount of money from the national treasury to redeem the emperor. As a result, 90% of the wealth of the people of Qi fell into the hands of the Shi family and the branch of Guanyin Temple. Hey, the master of the branch of Guanyin Temple in Qijing City is also named Shi. To put it bluntly, all of it fell into the hands of the Shi family."
Shi Yao could hardly stand.
The whole person felt like being struck by lightning.
Ji Changsheng and Yu Qingqing were both shocked when they heard the prince tell them about the emperor's extraordinary operation of worshipping Prime Minister Shi in Guanyin Temple and spending a huge amount of money from the national treasury to redeem him. Shi Yao's reaction was the same as theirs, and even more intense.
After all, her younger brother is the leading actor and director of this bold operation.
This move was so cool that she didn't know how to react.
This is an incredible operation that no normal person would ever imagine.
It happened in broad daylight, insulting the intelligence of the people of a country.
Wei Tingbao was already a little angry when he said this: "How is the Shi family's behavior different from the Demon Cult? No, it's too unfair to the Demon Cult. The disciples of the Demon Cult are more humane than the Shi family."
Compared to Wei Tingbao's indignation, Cao Ziming was relatively calm after seeing the world of Sheng State.
He nodded to Ji Changsheng and said, "Junior Brother Ji, I found something else in the Shi family."
"what?"
"Do you remember Junior Sister Xiao who wanted to quit Guanyin Hall?"
Ji Changsheng nodded: "What's wrong with her?"
"She's fine. When she accused Hua Pinzhen, didn't she say that Guanyin Temple hasn't given an explanation for the incident involving Hua Pinzhen's nephew? It's just a coincidence that I caught Hua Pinzhen's nephew at Shi's house."
Cao Ziming raised his hand and threw a young man with greasy hair and powdered face to Ji Changsheng's feet.
"Before, this guy openly showed off his family's luxury in the main hall of Guanyin Temple, which aroused the collective dissatisfaction of the outer and inner disciples of Guanyin Temple, and they demanded that Guanyin Temple conduct a thorough investigation. After more than a year of investigation, there is still no result. He left the family early and joined Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. God has eyes, and he was sent to Qi State by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
Having said that, Cao Ziming sneered, and his laughter was full of murderous intent.
Ji Changsheng also laughed: "God is not very wise. It would be wisest to send him to Sheng State, but Qi State is also okay."
"I used some tricks on this guy and found that the matter was actually very simple and not that difficult to investigate."
