Martial arts long journey

Chapter 396
After hearing Hua Mingde's words, Gao Wensong, who was slumped on the chair, murmured in a low voice: "What do you mean you haven't reached the last step? Does it mean that you have to wait until the Dongchuang incident is the last step?"

As soon as Gao Wensong's voice fell, Lu Fang also complained: "Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have paid the tax as much as I wanted. How could it be possible to get to this point!"

The five criminal officials in the Laizhou government office were not very close to each other, that's all in normal times, but in a critical moment like now, the gap between them immediately appeared.

Fortunately, Gao Wensong and Lu Fang only complained. Although this made Hua Mingde feel dissatisfied, it did not completely irritate him.

However, Xue Liang's voice was completely different after that. Xue Liang lowered his head and chattered endlessly: "It's not that some people are too greedy. They know that our Laizhou Prefecture is under the command of the new law envoy. How dare you secretly think about whether you should move or not, now it's all over, the brothers all fell into it together!"

At this moment, what Xue Liang said was undoubtedly to put all the crimes on Hua Mingde, accusing Hua Mingde of dragging them all into the abyss.

But Xue Liang forgot that when Hua Mingde proposed to retain this tax, he also voted in favor of Hua Mingde's proposal to withhold the tax.

And in the daytime yesterday, he, Xue Liang, also covered up and destroyed the evidence that they intercepted taxes, but now he has directly pushed all the blame on Hua Mingde, which is really shocking. Disdainful.

Especially Hua Mingde, when he heard Xue Liang pointing fingers at Sanghuai and insinuatingly complaining about him, the anger in his heart immediately went straight to Tianlinggai.

"Crack!"

Hua Mingde, who was extremely angry in his heart, suddenly stood up from his seat, and slammed his palm on the table in front of him, making a very dull sound.

Hua Mingde actually only relied on his physical strength to directly press his palm on the originally smooth tabletop.

Raising his eyes roughly, Hua Mingde's palm is at least two inches below the table.

If it weren't for the fact that this table was made of extremely heavy hardwood whose texture was not weaker than ordinary rocks, it would have been torn apart and fell apart under Hua Mingde's palm.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Mingde pointed at Xue Liang's nose and cursed: "Xue, what are you chewing on?
Although Lao Tzu took the lead in proposing it at the beginning, did your surname Xue also agree?
Furthermore, if the intercepted taxes did not fall into your hands, did they go into the dog's stomach?

Are you ashamed to pick yourself up now?Do you still have any shame? "

Having said this, Hua Mingde couldn't help but spat fiercely on the ground, he gave Xue Li a disdainful look and said, "What is it!"

Although Hua Mingde, Xue Liang, Fan Liangji and others are all criminal officials of this Laizhou government office, Hua Mingde has always looked down on Xue Liang and the others who came from poor and humble backgrounds.

Although Xue Liang didn't have any hostility towards Hua Mingde on weekdays because of his martial arts cultivation, he never had a good impression of Hua Mingde either.

Now that Hua Mingde pointed at his nose and scolded him, how could Xue Liang endure it?He immediately stood up from his seat, and said with a gloomy expression, "Brother Hua, you'd better keep your mouth clean for me!
On weekdays, Xue respects you for being older, and gives you three points of courtesy everywhere, but it is not yet known whether he will be able to survive this catastrophe. Do you really think that Xue will continue to tolerate you? "

Hua Mingde snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Okay, I want to see what you can do to me!"

Before the words in his mouth fell completely, a powerful aura overflowed from Hua Mingde's body, making the aura around his body seem to be distorted by it. It is a sign that he is about to step into the realm of Martial Dao Zhoutian.

If it weren't for the existence of common interests, the five of Hua Mingde, Xue Liang, and Fan Liangji would not have been able to get together at all.

Even when Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji had conflicts many times, it was only because the Zhou Tianjing of the Tai'an City Punishment Department was sitting in the yamen of the Laizhou government, so the five of them did not dare to come here. The quarrel in front of the immediate boss was too stiff.

But in the current crisis situation, the relationship between the five of them can be said to have dropped to a freezing point, and there is already a risk of breaking anytime and anywhere.

Of course, the main reason for this scene is that Xue Liang, a mere martial artist in the early stage of the Gang Qi realm, dared to challenge him who is half a step up to the Zhoutian realm. This is what angered Hua Mingde the most.

If it was Fan Liangji, who was between brothers in martial arts and Hua Mingde, who spoke, perhaps Hua Mingde would not be so angry.

However, compared to Xue Liang, Lu Fang, Gao Wensong and others who were short-sighted and only knew how to complain and shirk their responsibilities, Fan Liangji's temperament was much more stable.

Although Fan Liangji was also very worried in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface.

Because Fan Liangji was very clear in his mind that the most important thing right now was to get through this crisis. If they only knew how to blame each other and pass the buck, then the five of them would inevitably lose their positions and completely break out in internal strife.

Tightening the Qingshuang long sword held in his arms, Fan Liangji slowly sat up straight, and said aloud: "Enough! Are you two planning to make this matter known to the world? You hate yourself to death Not fast enough?"

Although Fan Liangji's voice was not very loud, but matched with the sharp and sharp sword intent faintly emanating from his body, it seemed extraordinarily cold and ruthless.

This made Hua Mingde and Xue Liang, who originally planned to continue arguing, felt a bone-piercing horror as if they had been drenched in a basin of ice water for three or nine days. .

What Fan Liangji said is right. If Hua Mingde and Xue Liang continue to quarrel like this, they will probably spread the news of tax withholding to the capitals of Manlai Prefecture before other people come to investigate their affairs. Got it.

Therefore, after hearing Fan Liangji's voice, Hua Mingde and Xue Liang immediately woke up. They first glanced at each other coldly, and then sat down again on their own.
