Chapter 14 The Jiang family has meritorious service, but the merit is not worth it
"It turns out that you are the ancestor of Jiangli, and the unworthy descendants pay homage to the ancestor of Jiangli." The patriarch Jiang was shocked by Jiangli's appearance, recalling that he went to Yuan Wuxing's house to talk about "the power of faith", and even blushed and shy, but he reacted quickly, threw away his shame, and bowed his head.
Jiang Li smiled without saying a word.
“The old ancestor often recalled the childhood he spent with you, saying that it was the happiest moment in his life, and he also said that you were kind and would give money to help poor people.”
"The old ancestor said that he was young and frivolous, he didn't know right from wrong, and troubled you. Now every time he thinks about it, he feels extremely ashamed. How much he wants to say sorry in front of you, but the old ancestor has limited talents, and he is afraid that he won't live to see you again. You treat the world as a public, and you don't enter the house. It's really too hard to see you!"
"Under the trouble of inner demons, the ancestors accidentally fell into the way of demons, prolonging their lifespan in an opportunistic way!"
Patriarch Jiang burst into tears, and spoke with sincerity. Seeing his posture, he wanted to show his heart and lungs to Jiang Li. The onlookers were also infected by Patriarch Jiang's tone.
It's a pity that Jiang Yixing didn't even have the chance to say "I'm sorry".
Yuan Wuxing looked strange, and felt that this scene seemed familiar.
"Our Jiang family is not only the descendant of Jiang Yixing's ancestor, but also your descendant. There are elders who are emperors, and we, the younger generation, dare not fall into your name. Except for our ancestors falling into the devil's way, we have never done anything harmful to nature. Our Jiang family has also worked hard to make friends and make money. We use our popularity and wealth to build roads and build the city, and build Qingcheng into a big city. This is obvious to the people of Qingcheng!"
The Qingcheng people nodded secretly. They had heard from the older generation that Qingcheng's large scale was inseparable from the efforts of the Jiang family.
Although Qingcheng used to be called a city, it was barely adjacent to the edge of the city. Most people would not recognize it. After all, how could there be a city without a Golden Core cultivator?
At that time, people from other places quarreled with Qingcheng people, and often called Qingcheng people the people of the countryside, lacking in education.
Now Qingcheng is one of the largest cities in the entire Tianqing Mansion. Qingcheng people walk outside with their heads held high, and anyone who sees them will say, "Qingcheng people are amazing."
"We regard ourselves as a member of the Human Emperor's Palace, and always demand ourselves according to the standards of the Human Emperor's Palace. We only want to be a Human Emperor's Palace, and let you admit that our Jiang family has not shamed the Human Emperor's Palace!"
"Jiang Li's ancestors, the unworthy descendants ask on behalf of the Jiang family, can we join the Human Emperor Palace?"
Patriarch Jiang looked up at Jiang Li, his eyes full of longing, and the people around him secretly tried their best, wishing to take Jiang Li's place and say "Yes".
Jiang Li nodded lightly and said, "It's a good idea."
"The Human Emperor's Palace displays a total of seventy-two Human Emperor's sages. None of them have placed their family power in the Human Emperor's Palace, let alone let a family join the Human Emperor's Palace. How can I, Jiang Li He De, let the Jiang family enter the Human Emperor's Palace?"
"You are the strongest Emperor, and no one will say anything if you set a precedent." Patriarch Jiang said quickly.
The people around nodded secretly. It is true that Jiang Renhuang, as the strongest man in Kyushu, did not act domineeringly and recklessly.
I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Jiang Renhuang, the Jiang family are not all bad guys!"
As soon as this statement came out, a thousand layers of waves were stirred up, and people shouted "Jiang's family joins the Emperor's Palace", especially the people from Qingcheng, who shouted the most fiercely.
The parents who lost their children objected, but their voices seemed too small at this moment.
Some parents angrily questioned the people around them: "The Jiang family devours children to practice magic. How can such a family be qualified to enter the Human Emperor's Palace?"
The person who was questioned disdainfully replied: "Let's not say that Jiang Yixing, the ancestor of the Jiang family, valued love and righteousness, but he was blinded for a while. Let's say that what the Jiang family has done in the past three hundred years, the expansion of Qingcheng, the people's living in peace, a strong cultural atmosphere, and many more inspirations than other places. The number of monks who have benefited is unknown. Isn't this kind of merit enough to make up for the sin of cultivating the devil? Don't you have a collective concept!"
The parents were at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond.
Such conversations happened in many places, and Jiang Li heard all of these conversations without exception.
Jiang Li floated to a height of ten feet above the ground, shouted luck, so that everyone present could hear him speak.
Jiang Li said with a smile: "I heard everything you said, it's very good, it's very good, especially the sentence 'this kind of merit is not enough to make up for the sin of cultivating the devil's way', regardless of the content, what you said is still very reasonable."
The man who spoke before raised his mouth slightly, puffed out his chest, and being praised by the Emperor is a lifetime honor, and it was he who first shouted to let the Jiang family enter the Emperor's Palace. But what Jiang Li said later made him unable to laugh.
"I didn't expect to hear such remarks in my life, Brother Ji, I heard that I suggested that Da Zhou can increase an IQ tax to fund the national treasury."
Zhou Huangji nodded in agreement: "Brother Jiang is right, this matter should be put on the agenda for discussion by the three gentlemen."
The man blushed and argued: "The rewards and punishments are clear, and the merits and demerits are balanced. What's wrong?"
Whether merits and demerits are equal or not, is a controversial topic, and that person does not believe that Jiang Li can answer it.
However, this matter may be difficult for others to answer, but it is a breeze for Jiang Li.
The murderous aura swept through the audience like a violent storm, chilling people's bones. When Jiang Li made a thought, an invisible force grabbed the man's skirt and pulled him in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li grabbed the man's neck, and said with a cold smile: "I resisted the invasion of extraterrestrial demons three times, and saved the Kyushu three times. In other words, I contributed a lot to your survival until now. If this is the case, it is normal for me to slaughter you! No one will have any complaints!"
"Let go...let me go..." The man couldn't break free, struggling wildly.
"Why? I've saved you three times, why can't you just let me kill you! Why don't you have any collective consciousness? Killing you will make me happy, why don't you have any spirit of sacrifice?" Jiang Li was unmoved, there was no kindness in his eyes, only endless arrogance and cruelty!
"Let go...let me go..." The man was extremely remorseful.
He thinks that the legend is true, Jiang Renhuang may have really fought against the heavenly demons outside the territory before succeeding to the throne, resulting in the tragic death of a whole city, leaving no bones left!
