Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Although the power of Fang Liang's magical power was not small, it could not do anything to Tang Ning. Just as the space covered by the three tomb mirrors exploded, his eyes bloomed with divine light, and he was instantly able to see through the changes in the space. Due to the power of his magical power, The nearby space structure was distorted and deformed, and the surrounding space became very fragile at that moment.

Tang Ning used her strength to push through the dense criss-crossing wire mesh with her own spiritual power until she was in front of him.

With his current physical strength, not even a monster could withstand a few of his punches, let alone Fang Liang. Although he had already prepared, he had used spells and condensed golden armor to protect himself, but Tang Ning was so powerful. Under the powerful blow, he had no power to fight back, and his condensed armor was shattered with just one punch.

Without this armor protection, he could easily punch through his chest with one punch.

Fang Liang's mouth kept pouring out blood. He opened his mouth to say something, but all he spit out was blood. At this time, a ray of light fell down, and it was Xiao Kuo.

"Two fellow Taoists, the outcome of the competition has been decided. Fellow Daoist Tang is superior in skill. I declare that Fellow Daoist Tang will win this competition."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, if you can help me, please send Fellow Daoist Fang back to the Mirror Moon Sect's base to rest."

"no problem."

"Farewell." After Tangning said this, she flashed away and disappeared into the distance.

…

Haimang Mountain, the branch of Netherworld Sea in Xuantang City, in the majestic palace, several men and women sat around the stone table.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Daoyou Xue Jing, the deputy supervisor of the Yuanxian County branch. This time I was ordered to lead a team to the headquarters to thoroughly investigate the case of corruption and reselling of spiritual herbs by Peng Yuanzhi, the head of Yixinting." Daoyou Xue, what are your requirements? , Just ask, we will cooperate fully," Ma Shouyang said.

Xue Jingdao: "You are all our own people, so I will speak frankly. In the case of Peng Yuanzhi, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are a lot of tricks here. As the head of Yixin Pavilion, Peng Yuanzhi was able to obtain so many high-level medicinal herbs and sell them privately." Chamber of Commerce, where did those herbs come from?”

"It's impossible for him to do it with his position and ability. There must be someone behind the scenes. He is just the scapegoat who was pushed to the front desk. The purpose of sending me here is to thoroughly investigate this matter, find out the black hand behind it, and help Xuantang City Branch Detox.”

"All fellow Taoists are very clear about the rules and regulations of the organization, so I won't go into details. Such acts of corruption and perversion of the law will not be tolerated by the organization. No matter who is involved, they must be investigated to the end and severely punished."

"You don't want your hard-earned money to be used for personal gain by some people and enrich your personal pockets! You have been in this position for a long time, and you must know more about the various affairs of Xuantang City than we do. Maybe some fellow Taoists here have already made assumptions about this matter, but they don’t dare to speak out without evidence.”

"Here, I would like to express my position to everyone. As long as you have reasonable doubts in your mind, you can come to me privately at any time, regardless of whether there is evidence or not. In the name of the supervision team and my personal honor, I guarantee that I will never reveal what anyone says. information."

Ma Shouyang answered: "If you have any clues, you must inform Taoist Xue to help the supervision team find out who is behind the scenes and eliminate harm to our department. Even if it is wrong information, it is better than not reporting it."

"Fellow Taoist Ma, we need to investigate all the financial accounts of the Ministry later, especially the financial files of Yixinting in recent years. We also ask for your cooperation."

"That's no problem. I'll send someone to bring all the account books and files later."

"Without disturbing fellow Taoists, let's go to the Finance Hall to check for clues."

"Okay, please, Fellow Daoist Xue, do you need me to send someone to take you there?"

"No need, if necessary, we will find fellow Taoists." Xue Jing stood up and left the hall, leading a group of people to escape the light.

Ma Shouyang watched him go away until his figure disappeared into the hall, then he looked back and started talking to everyone about other matters.

…

At night, in the dim hall, Ma Shouyang pushed open the stone door and saw a middle-aged man sitting inside, it was Xue Jing.

"Sorry to bother you, Taoist Fellow Ma." Seeing him enter, Xue Jing stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome. Fellow Daoist Xue came here late at night. I think there must be something important. Maybe he found clues about Peng Yuanzhi's case."

"No, actually I came here specifically to seek advice from fellow Daoist Ma. When I was in the hall during the day, there were too many people, so I asked in detail. So I asked you not to be offended late at night."

"What does Fellow Daoist Xue want to know? Ma knows everything."

"Fellow Daoist Ma has been working in Xuantang City for so many years and is very familiar with the affairs of this city. What do you think of the case of Peng Yuanzhi?"

Ma Shouyang pondered: "My fellow Daoist Xue and I have similar ideas. There must be someone behind this matter."

Xue Jing said calmly: "Do you have any doubts about the candidate, Fellow Daoist Ma?"

"It's not easy to talk nonsense! Especially in my position, I can't just talk nonsense."

"There are no six ears here. Why should fellow Taoist Ma have any scruples? I have already said it in the meeting hall. In the name of the supervision team and everyone's reputation, I would like to guarantee that private conversation information about this case will not be leaked. Is it possible that fellow Taoist fellow Taoist Ma can't trust me?" ?”

Ma Shouyang pondered for a while: "Wei Ting's disappearance is a suspicious point. He is a business person in the branch headquarters and has more contact with subordinate departments. Peng Yuanzhi was arrested, and then Wei Ting disappeared. It is difficult to say that there is no connection between the two. ”

"Yes." Xue Jingcheng nodded: "To be honest with fellow Taoist Ma, when we interrogated Peng Yuanzhi, we obtained his confession, which confirmed that the high-end medicinal herbs he sold to the chamber of commerce were provided to him by Wei Ting. Just when we were thinking When we were about to arrest Wei Ting, we received a notification from your department that Wei Ting was missing. "

"Really? There are only two possibilities. First, Wei Ting learned that Peng Yuanzhi was arrested and knew that he would be implicated, so he ran away. Second, Wei Ting's disappearance was caused by murder. In this case, Wei Ting He’s just a scapegoat, and there’s someone behind it.”

"We think so too. Fellow Daoist Ma, which one do you think is the most likely?"

"It depends on whether Wei Ting is alive or dead? If he is still alive, then I think the first possibility is more likely, because if there are people behind Wei Ting, they will not dare to let him live, in case he is arrested , that must involve him. If he is dead, it must be the second possibility. "

"We have already sent a file to the Donglai County branch to check the status of his soul stone. If, I mean if, Wei Ting is dead, Fellow Daoist Ma, who do you think is the most suspicious in this branch."

Ma Shouyang hesitated: "Well... I can't draw conclusions easily. To be honest, many people have doubts, and even I can't clear my suspicions."

"Aren't we just going over the facts of the case today? Fellow Taoist, just speak freely. Fellow Taoist, you won't say that you don't even have a suspect!"

"Ding Jianyang, who is in charge of finance, and Wu Chong, who is in charge of commerce, are both possible. The two deputy directors and I cannot clear away the suspicion."

"So among these four people, who is the most suspicious?"

"It's hard to say, it's really hard to say."

"Then let me ask another question! Who do Peng Yuanzhi and Wei Ting get closer to in private?"

"Peng Yuanzhi has a closer personal relationship with deputy director Cui Jian. Cui Jian strongly recommended Peng Yuanzhi as the director of Yixinting. I am not very clear about Wei Ting's personal relationship. In my impression, he is always polite. , keep a distance from others."

"Where is Ding Jianyang? How is this person?"

"He was originally in charge of intelligence matters. After he was promoted to Transformation, since there was already someone in charge of intelligence, he became in charge of finance."

………

The two chatted for half an hour, Xue Jing asked about everything in detail, and finally left, leaving his cave and coming to another room, where someone was already waiting for him.

"How is it? What clues were found?"

"This is the confession of people around Wei Ting. Many people have long suspected Wei Ting of reselling elixirs. Where are you? Is there any progress?"

"Ma Shouyang is an old fox. He speaks impeccably and has no flaws, but I still think something is wrong."

"How to say?"

"Ma Shouyang, I have dealt with him several times before, and I have also been to his cave. I remember that his cave was very simple in the past, with only a few simple rooms. But now the cave is very luxurious, with streets and pavilions. Pavilions, gardens, pavilions, everything. The style of the entire cave has changed drastically. I have inquired about it. This cave was built after he took over. If a person's habits suddenly change, there must be something wrong. ""That's it. , Ma Shouyang is highly suspicious?"

"It's hard to say yet, but it's doubtful."
