Ji Xinghai's case involves the Minister of Rites.
But just understanding it doesn't really lead to death.
On the way, Lin Xiushan briefly talked about the case.
The reason why Ji Xinghai went to jail was the same as what the female thief said.
Gu Xiangru, the Minister of Rites, had a son in his old age, so he doted on Gu Chaoyan and eventually raised a playboy.
Although more than a year has passed since the case, Gu Xiangru has been keeping an eye on this matter because it would be as simple as if Ji Xinghai died instead of being imprisoned.
Judging from the surface of the case alone, Ji Xinghai should have been beheaded long ago.
But Fathead Fish also believed that this was an unjust case, so he resisted the pressure and refused to kill him on the grounds that there were still doubts in the case.
However, from Lin Dayan's mouth, I also learned another thing - the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen.
There are nine divine images in heaven and earth, and each divine image corresponds to a kind of calamity of heaven and earth. Therefore, these nine divine images are also called calamity images.
Legend has it that as long as one can understand the nine tribulation statues and survive the nine tribulations, one can become a heavenly being and inquire about the gates of heaven.
This is what is called attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.
Of course, this is just a legend. After all, I have never heard of anyone actually surviving the Nine Tribulations and becoming a heavenly being.
However, the statue of calamity does exist, and there is one in the empress's palace, called the statue of Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers.
It is said that after enlightenment, the energy is endless... which roughly means that the 50-50 favorite is: infinite blue.
And this Ji Xinghai may have clues to other tribulation images.
"So His Highness has been locking him up, and the real purpose is to steal the news?" Jiang Wuji asked with a frown.
Lin Xiushan, who was walking in front, shrugged: "I don't know that, but even if he can be avenged for this kind of thing, it is impossible to get out of Fengtiansi without clarifying the matter of the robbery."
A common man is innocent of the crime of harboring a jade... Jiang Wuji smiled and said nothing more.
After a while, Fengtiansi dungeon arrived.
The entrance to the dungeon is a modified well with swords embedded on the edge. At first glance, it looks like a meat grinder Max.
Looking in from the outside, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, only the cold wind blowing in the face, which made people shudder.
There is a row of pulleys above the wellhead, and thick chains pass through the pulleys to lift a heavy wooden board. This is a simple "elevator" using human power.
After saying hello to the golden knife guarding the dungeon, Jiang Wuji and the two stood on the wooden plank, and then slowly descended into the dungeon amidst the sound of iron ropes that sounded like impermanent demands for life.
Humid, dark, depressing, and hopeless, no one can survive normally in this environment.
This was Jiang Wuji's first impression of the dungeon.
"Tsk."
Lin Xiushan took the fire certificate he carried with him.
Under the dim flickering firelight, Jiang Wuji saw a rock wall covered with claw marks.
Those claw marks are not left by beasts, but by people...
It is simply a fantasy for a ferocious female thief to rob someone from a place like this.
Jiang Wuji smacked his lips and threw the female thief's plan into the trash can.
"Fengtian holds the sword to kill the devil."
Suddenly, a hoarse and deep voice sounded from the darkness.
Lin Xiushan immediately replied: "My body is like a monster creating peace."
"Lin Jindao, long time no see."
"Master Wu Chang, please come and be fine."
"Hehehe..."
Jiang Wuji knew that Fengtian Division had four ghost servants besides the Golden Sword, and he heard that they were also masters.
But I didn’t expect that the majestic grandmaster would stay in this dark place where the sun never shines...
Wu Chang did not show up, and after a few words of greeting, he asked Lin Xiu Shan why he was here.
Since Ji Xinghai is not a repeat offender, and Lin Xiushan handled the case a year ago, it is not difficult to just meet him once.
When he was young, Lin Xiushan pointed to a faint light not far away.
"Go to the end and turn left to find the second cell. I won't go there. This guy will go crazy when he sees me."
To be honest, I don't really want to go... Jiang Wuji nodded bravely: "Okay."
There are three floors in the Fengtiansi dungeon. Jiang Wuji's current location is on the first floor. Except for the dark entrance, there is still some light when walking inside.
For a moment, Jiang Wuji stood outside a cell door and finally saw the chivalrous man mentioned by the female thief, Xianxue, Ji Xinghai.
Ji Xinghai was wearing prison uniform, with disheveled hair, and his hands and feet were shackled. His face was dirty and he looked like a madman.
Hearing the noise, Ji Xinghai raised his head and glanced at Jiang Wuji. His cloudy and yellow eyes narrowed, and then he lowered his head.
"I'm here to help you reverse the case." Jiang Wuji said concisely.
However, Ji Xinghai seemed to have given up all thoughts. Even if he heard that someone was willing to reverse the case for him, he remained indifferent.
He doesn't believe me and thinks I'm fishing for law enforcement? ...Jiang Wuji frowned and made calculations in his mind.
If I could tell the female thief her name, I might be able to trigger a conversation with the NPC, but I don’t even know what the female thief’s name is...
"Someone tried to save you a few days ago, but failed."
"..."
"What should I say so that you would believe me?"
"..."
Mudd, who am I? where am I? What am I doing?
It seems we have to start with the female thief...
"She has something to do with Xiaoxiang Tower."
Ji Xinghai raised his head again, his empty eyes becoming more colorful.
"You..." Ji Xinghai's nose moved, and his expression gradually became alarmed: "Baihua Cream..."
Can you smell this? Jiang Wuji was slightly surprised: "Well, she and I...well, our relationship is unusual, you know."
"Oh, it's hard to buy hundreds of flowers for a thousand dollars. Fengtiansi's methods are really amazing." Ji Xinghai murmured.
Still don't believe me... Jiang Wuji frowned and used his last trump card: "There is a small birthmark on her right chest, shaped like a heart."
"?!"
"Wan, Wan'er... Wan'er?!"
Ji Xinghai asked with trembling eyes: "You, how did you know!"
Wan'er, it turns out the female thief is called Wan'er...
Jiang Wuji looked around and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am her man."
"?!"
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
What's impossible? Am I not handsome enough?
"We fell in love at first sight, we were engaged for life, and we were pregnant with our children... If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come to you."
"All the children are pregnant? You, you..."
Don't worry about these details... Jiang Wuji curled his lips and was about to continue talking when he suddenly realized a very serious problem.
"Wait! How did you know that?!"
You two look to be at least thirty years apart. A female thief needs to have good looks, a good figure, and good strength. There is no way she can have a problem with taste, right? !
At this time, Ji Xinghai took a deep look at Jiang Wuji.
"I'm her father."
"Oh, you're her...huh?!"
Is Ji Xinghai the father of the female thief?
I, I...Gan...
Seeing Jiang Wuji's shocked face, Ji Xinghai smiled half-heartedly.
"She already has children, and she didn't even tell you about this?"
"Go back...tell Li Zhiyu that I have no clues about the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen."
Li Zhiyu is the name of King Luo. Because I didn't know that he was the father of the female thief, he suspected that I was sent by Fathead Fish.
In this case, Jiang Wuji had no choice but to break the jar.
"Aren't you curious about why I knew there was a birthmark on her chest?"
"Ji Xinghai, you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, right? Jiejiejie..."
