Chapter 896 Father and son go into battle

"you!"

Wen Zhong narrowed all three of his eyes slightly. He could clearly see that Wen Rui had bad intentions, with a huge "treacherous" character clearly written on his forehead, but he couldn't argue with him.

The limitations of the metaphysical eye-brow divine eye in judging cases are revealed. It can only make vague judgments. Although the judgment accuracy rate is very high, it cannot intelligently list the charges one by one to prove them.

Moreover, what puzzled Wen Zhong was that while Wen Rui exuded a strong aura of evil and treachery, he also gave off a strong scent of meritorious sandalwood, which was extremely fragrant.

In other words, it is true that he used all means to squeeze the treasures of the immortals, but the purpose and starting point of squeezing these treasures were absolutely the bright and correct path recognized by the way of heaven.

Moreover, in the vision of the divine eye, the purple aura representing future great merits far exceeds the black bad luck representing the evil heart.

If we have to characterize it, it is that one wants to do good things with the deepest malicious intent.

So contradictory!

Can one obtain such great merit from the Heavenly Dao simply by repairing and reinforcing the Heavenly Protection Array?

It's not that Wen Zhong is pretending to be noble. When the divine eyes between his brows are opened and the halo of the hypocritical and righteous god is shed, no one knows better than him what kind of person is underneath his bright and beautiful appearance.

Are these immortals worth protecting?

What value does protecting them have to the Way of Heaven?
If this evil boy's original intention was not to repair the Heavenly Protection Array, then what was his purpose?
Countless questions swirled in his mind. It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, but ever since this evil son was born, Wen Zhong could not see through him.

But Wen Zhong had no way to convict his rebellious son based on his intuitive insight into the look in his eyes, not to mention that he had no evidence and could only suppress his deep suspicion in his heart.

"Everyone, rest assured. I will use the most scientific calculation method to calculate every piece of immortal jade you donate into the amount of forgiveness to help you offset your sins. I will definitely not let your money go to waste."

Wen Rui patted his chest and assured: "You know me. I always do business with integrity. You won't suffer any loss or be cheated."

"Is this true? When we were practicing together in the Jinling Immortal Sect, you often used inferior goods to cheat us of our spiritual stones. For example, the 'disagreement terminal' was just a cover for playing rock-paper-scissors. It was painted with a layer of paint to block spiritual consciousness. It was said that it could resolve all disputes within the sect and prevent the tragedy of fellow disciples killing each other. You sold us a broken cover for 5,000 spiritual stones..."

Immediately, former fellow disciples came to disrupt the show.

"Hey, this senior brother is really wronging me. Just tell me, after I sold a batch of divergence terminals, did our Jinling Xianzong have fewer disputes?"

Wen Rui was immediately unhappy and refuted confidently: "Although it is just a shield to block spiritual consciousness, it can actually prevent the possibility of cheating in rock-paper-scissors between practitioners. Otherwise, some physical practitioners have quick reactions, and some magic practitioners have sharp spiritual consciousness. When they encounter verbal arguments that cannot solve the problem, and rock-paper-scissors cannot determine the winner due to cheating, they will still have to fight in the end, right?"

"That's the case, but I always feel that thing is not worth so many spirit stones..."

"Why not? Creativity is priceless, okay?" Wen Rui said confidently, "Besides, don't underestimate that layer of shielding divine consciousness. At that time, many of the brothers and sisters in the sect were at the immortal level."

"The paint that can block the detection of immortals' divine sense is just painted on the broken cover. It's like the paint that can be used on the invisible shuttle is painted on the license plate and looks cheap."

"If you change the application environment, your value will double immediately and you can directly turn it into a national treasure, okay?" Just a few words left the senior brother who had been cheated by Wen Rui speechless.

"You admit that it's a broken cover..."

Another senior brother discovered the blind spot and said worriedly: "It's your father who investigated the case, and you who squeezed the money. Who knows if you and your son are colluding with each other and convicting us at random just to plunder our pitiful savings."

"The heaven and earth can bear witness to my character. How can I allow you to slander me?"

Before Wen Rui could say anything, Wen Zhong couldn't hold back his pride anymore and flew into a rage.

Wen Zhong really had not discussed today's matter with Wen Rui in advance, but this kid took the opportunity to interfere and emphasized the rule of paying a donation to be exempted from punishment that was previously issued by the Jade Emperor.

As a result, from an observer's perspective, it really seemed like the Wen father and son had colluded to make money.

"Hey, this senior brother hit the nail on the head. If my father and I are really connected, and if he really wants to cheat everyone out of their money, then he will do it. You won't have any room to resist."

Wen Rui said this with a smile, which made all the immortal officials look pale. They didn't expect that this guy was so shameless that he didn't even bother to hide his shamelessness.

"But please rest assured that I have already given this issue serious consideration and will ensure that everyone makes the donation with a clear conscience, and that it is worthwhile and fair and open."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation in Heaven, I, the Creation Heavenly Lord, will show my great mercy and support your government's corruption investigation work without any difficulty."

Turning to Wen Zhong, Wen Rui put on a businesslike face and said seriously: "Investigate the corruption cases that have been suppressed in the Heavenly Court for ten thousand years within a month. Not only must we give an explanation to the Jade Emperor, but we must also make the corrupt officials who have been caught convinced and serve as a sufficient warning to the majority of immortal officials. The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the difficulty is great. Even if your eye between the eyebrows can distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treachery, you can't produce hard evidence and hammer down the stubborn villain."

"Hmph, there's no need for you to get involved. Stop causing trouble for me!"

Wen Zhong, however, was not grateful at all. He said coldly, "You are also within the scope of this investigation. If I find evidence of corruption, I will personally wipe out the descendants of the Wen family to prevent you from having endless evil descendants. It would be fine if my old age was ruined by unworthy descendants, but I am afraid that you will destroy the foundation of the Three Realms sooner or later!"

Wen Rui curled his lips and said, "Please respect yourself, distinguish the boundaries between life and work, and don't work with emotions. Are you sure you don't need my help? You have been looking at me with your eyes between your eyebrows for my whole life, but I can't figure out what's going on. Don't trust your intuition too much. Evidence is still needed to solve a case."

Pointing at his nose, Wen Rui said confidently: "You know me as a god. I am the ancestor of businessmen. No one knows how to cook the books better than me. The double-entry bookkeeping method that was passed to the heaven was invented by me. My Jiejiao series also includes monographs on auditing, accounting, and economics. You can question my character, but you cannot deny my professional level."

"If we form a joint investigation team, you can use your divine eyes to intuitively determine who has problems and provide the direction of the investigation. I will follow the clues to dig up the mess that has been accumulated for thousands of years and find the ironclad evidence that can kill them. With close cooperation, the efficiency will be increased many times. It won't be difficult to find all the corrupt officials in the Heavenly Court within a month and then find out all the evidence of their corruption and abuse of power and put it out in the open."

These words made Wen Zhong's eyebrows and eyes light up. Although he did not approve of Wen Rui's character, he knew that this evil boy would not learn well and could not be taught well since he was young. But the other thing was that Wen Rui was talented but had no morals. His professional level in accounting was the best in the three realms and no one could match him.

When these corrupt officials in Heaven came to check their accounts, they would just do whatever they wanted, like asking a great mathematician to check an elementary school student's math homework. They wouldn't even need to look closely, just a quick glance would reveal all the mistakes.

I have to say, it’s a really good idea.
