Chapter 382: Ironclad Evidence, Still Denying (Total Chapter 6.8k, Please Subscribe)

【He has turned the tables. 】

[They actually wrongly accused a dead person and opened the seal of the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave. How shameless! ]

[No wonder the Sima family had the last laugh, they are so shameless. ]

When Chu Wujiang heard Sima Jie's words, his teeth chattered.

But it makes sense.

He would create cards out of thin air and slander the Sima family for colluding with the mermaids.

The Sima family was not fools either. They followed suit and turned the tables, slandering Ji Feihong for opening the seal of the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave, releasing a large number of zombies and bringing disaster to the world.

Firstly, zombies can be used to test the strength of the Chu family army, and if appropriate, they can be taken away in one wave.

Secondly, the Ji family disregarded the safety of the people of the world in order to avenge their personal grudges, which would weaken their justice and offset the sympathy of the people.

Thirdly, the Sima family can also blame the Chu family for not completing the agreement.

This is really killing three birds with one stone!
Not only that, Sima Jie also brought Jiekong, a high monk from Fayuan Temple, and Chen Rui, the chief steward of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

He planned to unite the forces of Shengzhou to jointly expose the sins of the Ji family.

Chu Wujiang's mind flashed with Sima Jie's sinister smile. Naturally, he could not let the other party succeed in his evil plan, so he immediately refuted:
"Master Sima, this is absurd!"

"Ji Feihong has been under my supervision. It is impossible for her to come to Shengzhou to open the seal of the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave!"

"Someone must have framed me for this!"

"Mr. Sima, it is really inappropriate for you to make such a hasty judgment!"

The battle between the Chu family army and the zombies had just ended, and the Linghe sent by Huo Qiushui to find reinforcements had not returned yet.

The Sima family rushed over with people from Fayuan Temple and Prince Wei's palace.

It came just in time, better than expected.

Even if you say you are innocent, no one will believe you.

Moreover, Chu Wujiang had investigated the Sima family's information and knew that there were two peerless geniuses in their family, one was Sima Ying and the other was Sima Jie.

This Sima Jie was known for his eagle-eyed and wolf-like gaze. Compared to his elder brother Sima Ying, his appearance was much worse and he looked more sinister and ruthless.

In terms of style, Sima Jie is more like his ancestor Sima Xuan.

Because he is calm and steady in his work, and nothing goes wrong.

Sima Ying had suffered a series of defeats recently, especially the battle at the Confucian Temple, where he retreated without taking any advantage, which made Sima Xuan very disappointed.

So Sima Xuan gave the important task of receiving Marquis Guanjun to Sima Jie.

He wanted to let the two peerless geniuses of the Sima family compete with the enemies of the Sima family.

Sima Xuan also specifically explained:
"Brothers are united, and their profits will break the gold."

"You alone are no match for him, so you must join forces!"

Sima Jie was originally in Fengzhou, assisting Prince Jin in suppressing the bandits of Xuanyuan Sect and gaining practical combat experience. When he heard the call from his ancestor, he hurried back to take charge of the situation.

Now hearing that his elder brother had failed, Sima Jie revealed a sinister expression and said:

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Ersun will definitely come up with a clever plan to wipe out the Chu family!"

With the return of Sima Jie, the Sima family can finally send out an all-star lineup and set up a tight net.

Now he lived up to expectations. After understanding Chu Wujiang's sarcasm, he knelt on one knee without any anger or annoyance and said humbly:

"Your Excellency, we have irrefutable evidence."

"When the incident happened in the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave, we were at the scene, and later we tracked down Ji Feihong's whereabouts."

"Who would have thought that Ji Feihong would use a trick to make us go in the wrong direction, causing you to encounter danger. Please forgive me, my Lord."

Sima Jie's attitude was extremely sincere.

He would put the blame on Ji Feihong and would never implicate Chu Wujiang.

As long as Chu Wujiang takes the initiative to cut ties, the Sima family will pretend nothing happened.

But Chu Wujiang was not brought up to be scared.

Others don’t know whether Ji Feihong has broken the seal, but Chu Wujiang knows it very well.

Ji Feihong had already passed through the fortune of the [Gambling Demon] and sacrificed even his body and soul to the [Yuanshi Tianmo], and died completely.

This is clearly a despicable frame-up.

Chu Wujiang immediately rebuked:

"Mr. Sima, of course you are guilty!"

"But the blame is not on the zombies causing chaos, but on framing others!"

"Ji Feihong has been under the surveillance of the Chu family, there is absolutely no problem."

"If you continue to slander the Ji family, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Sima Jie was slightly shocked. He had already planned everything, but he did not expect Chu Wujiang's support for Ji Feihong to be so strong.

It shouldn't be.

The Ji family and the Chu family have no relationship. Even if Ji Feihong is secretly controlled by him, the release of a soul-level demon will be extremely harmful.

Why is he so dedicated to the Ji family? Is there any benefit?

According to common sense, they should all be cut.

Sima Jie immediately lowered his head and said more humbly:
"Don't dare, kid!"

Chu Wujiang sneered:

"What are you afraid of?"

"Since the person hasn't been caught, what makes you keep saying that it was Ji Feihong who did it?"

"Tell me, are you framing me?"

Chu Wujiang stopped pretending and directly pressed forward with his momentum.

If we could use intimidation to make the Sima family lose their composure and reveal some information, we would make a lot of money.

Sima Jie's body trembled slightly. This pressure was so terrifying that it was almost as powerful as that of his ancestor.

This was the same feeling his ancestors had when they got angry in the past.

But Sima Jie is a man with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf. This kind of person will not be convinced or subdued by anyone. He is a real rebellious person.

He gritted his teeth and insisted:

"My Lord, you are wronged."

"Ji Feihong's guilt is proven by both witnesses and evidence. This kid didn't frame her maliciously."

"Master Jiekong and Steward Chen are witnesses!"

Chu Wujiang frowned slightly, trying to increase his momentum further.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the eminent monk Jiekong of Fayuan Temple quickly chanted a Buddhist name:
"Namo Amitabha!"

Zen Master Jiekong stood in front of Sima Jie and his face changed.

But he still gritted his teeth and said:

"My Lord, Master Sima has been following us all the way. Both I and Steward Chen have witnessed it."

"Ji Feihong was filled with resentment, which led to a huge mistake."

"Here is the [Retrospective Mirror] that recorded the scene at that time. Please appreciate it, my Lord."

Both Master Jiekong, a master from Fayuan Temple, and Chen, the steward from Prince Wei's Palace, can testify.

If you’re going to put on a show, do it fully!
Whether it was an accident or the Sima family wanted to frame the other party, they would definitely provide a complete set of evidence.

Compared to the mermaid that Chu Wujiang created in half a day, it looks more realistic and more effective!
Zen Master Jiekong took out a secret treasure, whose full name is [Time Travel Mirror]. This secret treasure is like a video recorder and can record images in real time.

Just as Zen Master Jiekong was about to release the image, Chu Wujiang interrupted him and said:
“No need to release it.”

"Master Jiekong, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Don't get involved. I'll let Zen Master Jiechen talk to you."

As soon as Chu Wujiang opened his mouth, he forbade Master Jiekong to use evidence to disturb people's hearts.

Zen Master Jiekong said unhappily:
"Donor Chu, these are all recorded by me personally."

"Donor Ji shouted in the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave that the people of the world owed the Ji family an apology, and she wanted to lead the dead souls of the Ji family to seek revenge!"

"How can we deny the irrefutable evidence?"

"My Lord, although you have defeated the mermaids and made great contributions to the human race, you cannot confuse right and wrong like this."

Although Sima Jie knelt on one knee, a ripple appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Zen Master Jiekong was not a member of the Sima family, and he even had some grudges with the Sima family, which made his testimony more credible.

Chu Wujiang sneered:

"so what?"

"Disguise, pretending to be someone else, framing someone, are there not enough of these things?"

"When the Fayuan Temple's 'Formless Divine Art' is cultivated to the highest level, it can also transform into a myriad of different forms."

"Other martial arts abound."

"In my opinion, all this evidence is false."

Now the Sima family wants to confirm Ji Feihong's affair, and then compete with Chu Wujiang to cut off his most advantageous card.

But Chu Wujiang will not let the other party lead him by the nose.

Political struggle is like war, you fight yours and I fight mine.

Chu Wujiang just grasped one point: this evidence was fake, and it was also fake.

Not a trace of hesitation.

If a politician would give in just because he has evidence, then he is obviously unqualified.

Fake, all of it is fake.

No matter how much hard evidence there is, it is still fake.

Chu Wujiang firmly dominated the atmosphere of the negotiation, not allowing the Sima family to define the matter, and said coldly:
"I have sufficient evidence to prove that Ji Feihong has never been to Shengzhou."

"Please remember this fact and don't let the demons deceive you or wrongly accuse good people, thus causing a big mistake."

"It will be too late to regret in the future!"

When Chu Wujiang said this, there was already a hint of threat in his tone.

Unfortunately, Zen Master Jiekong was not someone who could be frightened.

He is the head of the San Sheng Yuan of Fayuan Temple, in charge of marriage. Apart from Jingcai Yuan, San Sheng Yuan has the highest income, so he has the confidence and voice.

The last time Chu Wujiang obtained the fortune secret treasure, the marriage fortune stick, it came from Sanshengyuan. (Note: Chapter 289)
Zen Master Jiekong said unhappily:
"Donor Chu, you are too overbearing."

"It's impossible that my evidence is false and yours is true."

"How can this make sense?"

Big shots never play detective games. It doesn’t matter whether the evidence is true or false; what matters is the attitude of the referee.

For example, Chu Wujiang fabricated the story that the Sima family was colluding with the mermaids. The most important thing was to use evidence as leverage, coupled with his status as Marquis of Guanjun and the inclination of the prime minister, to break through Sima Ying's psychological defenses.

Now Chu Wujiang is showing an attitude of using his power to overwhelm others, which makes Zen Master Jiekong feel rebellious.

Sima Jie was delighted, thinking that his plan was a great success.

However, he was too happy too soon.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Master Jiekong, please calm down a little."

I am very calm now!
Just as Zen Master Jiekong was about to speak, the voice of Zen Master Jiechen came to his ears.

[Brother Jiekong, the right and wrong will eventually be determined, and Fayuan Temple should not make a statement too early.]

Zen Master Jiechen urgently activated a special communication symbol, which made Zen Master Jiekong terrified.

After all, Junior Brother Jiechen is more like a monk in the Mahayana Temple. He seldom contacts his fellow disciples, but now it is Guanjun Hou who is contacting him.

Zen Master Jiekong wanted to refute a few more words, but Zen Master Jiechen added:
【This is the abbot’s opinion.】

[Fayuan Temple has already approved the cooperation agreement, we cannot cause trouble for Guanjun Hou. ]

[And this matter is very strange. Ji Feihong's goal is to revive the Ji family. Why does he need to turn into a zombie? ]

[Even if he turns into a zombie, why would he attack Guanjun Hou? Guanjun Hou has always been working hard for the Ji family.]

Zen Master Jiekong was stunned.

Their mindset was that Ji Feihong was indeed crazy and turned into a zombie in order to take revenge on the Sima family. As for the attack on Chu Wujiang, it was just a crazy act.

Now that Zen Master Jiechen had said this, the abbot of Sansheng Temple immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He could only whisper:
[Junior brother, the video is real, we saw it with our own eyes.]

Zen Master Jiechen chanted the Buddha's name:
【Brother, a leaf blocks your view of the mountain. 】

[How can we be sure that what we see is true? ]

Zen Master Jiekong remained silent.

These words were naturally not said by Zen Master Jiechen, but Chu Wujiang was doing two things at the same time. He contacted Zen Master Jiechen and asked him to help express his feelings.

Chu Wujiang's words were not as effective as those of Zen Master Jiechen.

Sima Jie felt that the atmosphere had suddenly changed, and quickly added:
"We don't want to be enemies with the Marquis."

"But the evidence is right in front of us, Ji Feihong is the most suspicious!"

Seeing that Chu Wujiang used his power to force the Ji family and refused to cut ties with them, he could only adopt a roundabout tactic, first identifying Ji Feihong as the biggest suspect and then retreating to advance.

Unexpectedly, Zen Master Jiekong changed his words and said:
"Master Sima, perhaps we are all guilty of the hindrance of knowledge and understanding, while the Marquis is the one who sees things more clearly as a bystander."

"Although we recorded the video, this disguise technique is prevalent in the martial arts world, and no one knows whether the video is real or fake."

"It would be unfair to hastily draw suspicions. We should be cautious!"

ha?
Sima Jie couldn't believe his ears.

Master Jiekong, you saw it with your own eyes and even recorded it, yet you actually retreated on the spot.

Is this justified?

Is there any royal law for this?

Did you, bald ass, accept bribes from the Chu family?

Sima Jie didn't know what to do for a moment.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said yes:
"Master Jiekong is indeed a great Buddhist monk, and he does things in a thorough manner." "Unlike some people, who spread the news everywhere without even thinking whether it is true or not!"

Fayuan Temple plans to sell illegal salt together with Chu Wujiang, and they want to do a business of over 100 million taels every year.

This amount of money is enough to build a thousand golden statues of Buddha.

Zen Master Jiechen naturally tried his best to help Chu Wujiang make up for his mistake.

Seeing this, Chen Da, the steward of the Prince of Wei's Mansion, hastily added:
"My Lord, we all saw it with our own eyes. Ji Feihong escaped from the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave with the zombies!"

"This can't be accomplished by disguise."

Chu Wujiang snorted coldly:
"Do you have a say in this?"

This Steward Chen is the steward of the palace. He has a respected status and powerful strength. He is one of the top in the Yuanling Realm.

But among the crowd, he has the lowest status.

Chu Wujiang directly suppressed him with his status.

Butler Chen lowered his head, restrained his gaze and said:
"My Lord, I have no choice but to obey. It is the law of nature."

"This Ji Feihong turned into a zombie, and I don't know how many lives have been lost!"

The steward of the Prince of Wei's palace was also a good actor. He pretended to be doing his best for the human race on the spot to create an impression.

Chu Wujiang snorted coldly and said with disdain:
"What a clear justice."

"I don't know where your justice was when the Ji family was exterminated, butler Chen?"

"Now you are framing others, and you seem to be righteous."

"How dare you talk about justice with me? It's ridiculous!"

Chu Wujiang's voice was very loud, and it spoke of momentum.

Political debates are not about reason, but about momentum.

Whoever has more confidence can lead the topic and win more supporters.

Sima Jie originally wanted to use the zombie case to turn the tide, but Chu Wujiang first used his connections in the Fayuan Temple to suppress Zen Master Jiekong, and then used his status to attack Steward Chen.

Naturally, Steward Chen could not represent the Prince of Wei's Palace to suppress Chu Wujiang.

What’s even more terrifying is that the villagers of Lianhua Village clearly stand on Chu Wujiang’s side.

"Master Champion is right."

"It turns out that this master is just like everyone else in the village, he will eat people and wipe out their entire families."

The villagers of Lotus Village couldn't help but whisper to each other, not daring to speak too loudly, but Chu Wujiang and others were martial arts masters, and if there was no mute note, they would be heard clearly.

Sima Jie saw that they were all defeated, so he stood up and said seriously:

"Why do you have to make things difficult for us, Lord?"

"Isn't the most urgent task to capture Ji Feihong and seal the zombies again?"

"Once we catch the zombies, the truth will be revealed."

"My Lord, can you ask Ji Feihong to come over and verify his identity?"

When Sima Jie realized that Chu Wujiang was using his own advantages to suppress the suspicion of Ji Feihong's guilt, he immediately changed his approach and decided to capture Ji Feihong.

As soon as Ji Feihong appears, he can be marked.

In order to avoid the Orphan of Zhao, we must find a way to kill them all.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"No need."

"Miss Ji was wrongly accused."

Sima Jie finally found an opportunity and said without further ado:
"My Lord, the Ji family made a mistake and it has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to protect her all the time?"

Sima Jie has been trying to create a false impression and use rhetoric to make Chu Wujiang admit that the Ji family is guilty, but Chu Wujiang himself is an old hand at this.

He couldn't help but sneer:
"Then tell me when she released the zombies."

"Three days ago!"

Chu Wujiang laughed grimly and said:

"Good, then she didn't do it."

"Because she went to visit Master Xiang and told him that she was going to travel overseas and no longer wanted to stay in this place."

"She has been living in Tianjing these days, in the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"

Chu Wujiang has a lot of literary talent and is very good at making up lies.

He just made up a bunch of lies and attached the biggest killer.

"Is this true?"

Sima Jie was stunned.

The Sima family's spies kept searching but could not find Ji Feihong's whereabouts. No matter how many assurances Chu Wujiang made, he could always question the other party's questions.

It happened to be Master Xiang, the second-in-command of the Prince's Party and one of the leaders of the Confucian school.

Chu Wujiang dared to fabricate such a lie purely because he relied on the oath that he and Master Xiang made with them.

The Sima family didn't know that Ji Feihong was dead.

They make up lies like this, and the more they try to prove them, the more ridiculous they become.

This is the real trump card.

Chu Wujiang smiled slightly:
"Mr. Sima, you can follow me to Tianjing and ask Master Xiang."

If you don’t believe me, you can go ask him.

It’s easy to deal with Master Xiang, as we can all work together to make up a lie.

Sima Jie secretly thought that this was not good. He had calculated everything, but he missed one step. Ji Feihong really had an alibi, which was provided by Master Xiang.

Sima Jie took a step back and explained:
"The student naturally trusts the Marquis."

"It's just that some people are good at splitting themselves into two, and they know how to use someone else's body to replace someone else's."

"We will definitely capture that demon and bring him to justice to prove our case for Miss Ji."

Sima Jie realized that he could not suppress Chu Wujiang for the time being, so he chose to retreat strategically.

He did not say that Ji Feihong was wronged, and still wanted to spread the news to destroy the reputation of the Ji family and reserve the right to track it down to the end.

Chu Wujiang knew very well that the demon was still alive and could not be killed, so he just smiled and said:
"That's what I think too."

Sima Jie heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly:

"In that case, please come to Sacred Heart City so that the Sima family can show their hospitality as hosts."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and refused:
"Not for now."

"I have important matters to attend to."

Sima Jie couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What else does the Marquis have to say?"

Chu Wujiang pointed at the zombies in the distance and said calmly:
"These are all descendants of the Ji family."

"They died for the human race, so they should be buried properly."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Wujiang seemed to be bathed in the radiance of personality.

Because he secretly gave himself special effects.

The secret of the Candle Dragon was quietly activated in the dark, causing the body to emit a faint light that people dared not look directly at.

Not only that, Chu Wujiang also used the devil's thoughts to enhance the emotional appeal during the conversation.

come on.

You must all be moved by me.

Chu Wujiang sincerely wants to bury these zombies, but it is also necessary for him to further perform and show his personal charm.

Politics is a performance game.

Appearance is reality.

What you let others see.

Others will think you are something.

Therefore, Chu Wujiang paid attention to performing at all times to win the support of soldiers and the people.

In the world of martial arts, this is also considered a part of power, and Chu Wujiang will not waste even a single bit of it.

As expected, the surrounding soldiers and officers looked at Chu Wujiang with reverence.

"The Marquis is wise!"

"We are willing to die for you, sir!"

The soldiers couldn't help but shout.

They believed even more that even the Ji family army that turned into zombies could be properly arranged, so why should they worry about their own deaths?

Even Shang Lulu was equally moved:

[The Marquis is indeed a true hero. 】

[Even though he is a bit lustful, he is still the most outstanding figure of the younger generation.]

As for Zen Master Jiekong, he quickly put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name:
"Namo Amitabha!"

"The Ji family has suppressed the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Cave for hundreds of years for the human race, and has prevented the invasion of the demon army many times. It is indeed a great achievement."

"I am willing to follow in the footsteps of the horse and pray for the Ji family army."

Oops, suppressed.

The expression on Sima Jie's face became extremely ugly.

He originally wanted to use the zombies' rampage to undermine the Ji family's reputation and force Chu Wujiang to cut ties.

Once Chu Wujiang severed the relationship between the two families, Sima Jie would seize the opportunity to establish the relationship between the Ji family and the Chu family, thereby accusing Chu Wujiang of this.

This was supposed to be a series of killing moves.

As a result, Chu Wujiang simply refused to accept the challenge, and resolved the crisis invisibly by using both knocks and blows.

In addition, Chu Wujiang also made use of the remaining zombies of the Ji family army, performing a drama in which the dead were more useful than the living, and completely crushed the rumors that were unfavorable to the Ji family.

Chu Wujiang can also recall the good times and make the court recall the merits of the Ji family, thereby further negating Sima Jie's offensive.

【Haha, it’s not unfair to lose! 】

[He was able to use a series of killing moves in such a short time. I am not as good as him! ]

[No wonder Big Brother lost so miserably. ]

Sima Jie laughed silently, his face so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it.

It was the first time he suffered such a terrible defeat.

It's not about martial arts, it's only about wisdom.

But Sima Jie was a genius, and he quickly regained his spirits. The sinister look on his face disappeared and was quickly replaced by another one.

"The Sima family is also willing to offer sacrifices to the dead souls of the Ji family army."

“I hope they can return home.”

"Namo Amitabha!"

The Sima family has been neighbors with Fayuan Temple for thousands of years, so they naturally know how to recite a few phrases of Amitabha.

Chu Wujiang ignored Sima Jie and ordered Huo Qiushui:

"Send someone to find the village chief and buy a piece of land to bury these soldiers."

"The bodies must be cremated to remove the poison, and then Zen Master Jiekong will perform a ritual to help the souls to rest in peace."

"We can't leave hidden dangers for the villagers."

Huo Qiushui was a little worried, and used a secret technique to transmit his voice:
[My Lord, this demon is very cunning, and is most likely a powerful spirit.]

Is this really okay?

Chu Wujiang comforted:

[On the contrary, now that the Chu family army has formed, this demon will deliberately use zombies to test it. ]

[What's more, these zombies are a little too weak. They should be weakened by the Holy Emperor's formation.]

[Rather than letting the other party hide, it is better to resolve the issue as soon as possible. ]

Huo Qiushui finally felt relieved and quickly agreed:
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Huo Qiu Shui immediately gave orders, and the officers of the Chu family army began to work quickly.

They first used fire to burn away the remaining corpse poison, then used the true meaning of ice to cool it down, and finally used the few coffins in Lotus Village to calm the remains of Ji's army.

Village Chief Lianhua shook his head quickly:
"Sir, the village has made a lot of money this time, so let's use this piece of land as a token of our respect to you, Lord Marquis."

The logistics officer couldn't help but complain:
"You want to give a burial plot to the Marquis?"

The head of Lotus Village was immediately frightened and turned pale. He quickly explained:
"Sir, that's not what I meant."

The logistics officer said unhappily:

"Okay, your village can take this silver."

"My Lord has already issued an order that you must pay for everything you buy. You don't want to see me punish you by military law, do you?"

After the war with the mermaids, some soldiers in the Chu army also bullied men and women, took advantage of the power of others, and did evil things.

It is inevitable that there will be bad guys among the tens of thousands of soldiers.

But they were all sentenced to military court.

Huo Qiu Shui rectified the military discipline and did not hesitate to kill several veterans who had made military achievements, which immediately suppressed the morale of the troops.

The soldiers of the Chu family army all understood that the Marquis was serious, so they would rather spend money than rob directly as they did before.

The village chief held a silver ingot and watched the soldiers busying around. He couldn't help but say:
“So there really are different armies.”

Even Zhao Tiexin and others standing aside couldn't help but nod:
[The Ji Family Army has protected Shengzhou many times, and this kindness must be repaid. ]

[I must tell the leader that we cannot be enemies with the Chu family army! ]

Zhao Tiexin, who was originally hostile to the nobles, immediately changed his mind.

Chu Wujiang, without knowing it, personally burned incense and prayed for the Ji family army.

The vast sky is surrounded by ghosts and gods.
