Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, instilling spiritual power into the fairy mother-of-pearl clam. The storage bag at his waist suddenly shook. He took out the array plate and pointed it towards it, taking a picture of the talisman floating in the thick fog in his hand. Infused with divine consciousness, a rich man's voice sounded in his mind.

Xu Qiyuan stood outside the cave. Seeing the thick fog billowing, a passage was cleared. He flashed into the room, bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Tangning nodded slightly: "Why are you here? What's the reason?"

"I heard that Uncle Tang was released after serving his sentence, so I came here to congratulate him."

"We monks should not engage in such common etiquette among us. I heard that you went to the Silver Fox Information Station?"

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan responded: "The disciple has encountered a bottleneck for a long time. It is useless to practice in the sect all day long, so he wants to try his luck outside. The last time Du Xianshi returned to the sect, the disciple raised this matter with him. Agreed and transferred to the intelligence station."

Tang Ning hummed softly and said nothing. Xu Qiyuan raised his head and glanced at him. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, and not knowing what he was thinking, he continued: "This disciple is here mainly to congratulate Master Uncle for his release from prison after serving his sentence and for his promotion. Inspector. In addition, my aunt asked me to pass a message for her."

"Do you have anything to say, Fellow Daoist Xu?"

"My aunt asked me to ask you, do you know who is behind this frame-up? Do you need her to help you check at the intelligence station?"

Tang Ning smiled, knowing that this question must be for Du Yuankai or Zheng Wei. On the surface, he was asking if he wanted to find out who was secretly helping Lu Guang in the intelligence station. In fact, he was asking whether he would retaliate against them based on his attitude.

Only if you intend to retaliate, you need to know the informant in the intelligence station. In other words, finding the troublemaker in the intelligence station is to take revenge.

If you don't plan to retaliate, you don't need to know the troublemaker.

"Thank you for her kindness. This matter has nothing to do with the people at the intelligence station. The main thing is that I broke the commandments and am no different from others."

"yes."

"Since you went to the intelligence station, you should do your duty honestly. Things within the sect are not your concern, so go ahead!"

"Farewell, disciple." Xu Qiyuan exited the room.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. He was very displeased with Xu Qiyuan's ability to play both sides. He had recruited this person into the sect back then, and he had recommended him to join the Intelligence Department. From these two points, he was definitely one of his own.

At the beginning, his attitude was clear that he was not allowed to go to the intelligence station, but as soon as he was imprisoned, he immediately went to find Du Yuankai. What did this mean?

If it weren't for Xu Qingwan's face, I wouldn't have met him.

………………

The days in the sect were very peaceful, and three months passed in a flash.

Today is October 15th. Wei Xian came to Tangning's cave early and invited him to visit his cave in the evening. After the two talked for a while, Wei Xian left.

At nightfall, Tang Ning put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clam and left the cave. When she came to the cave, she waved the talisman and handed it in.

Not long after, the thick fog billowed, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of Wei Xian. He nodded with a smile on his face and said: "Senior Brother Tang is here, please come in quickly."

The two walked into the inner room, and Tang Ning asked, "Is Senior Brother Lu here?"

"Not yet, it will come soon depending on the time."

The two of them arrived at the living room, sat opposite each other in front of a stone table, and started chatting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Xian turned over his hand, took out the formation plate a little, took the talisman into his hand, and said: "Senior Brother Lu is here, Senior Brother Tang is seated, I will go out to greet you."

Tang Ning nodded slightly, and Wei Xian left the cave. Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside, and Lu Guang and Wei Xian walked in.

"Senior Brother Lu." Tang Ning stood up and bowed her head.

Lu Guang also returned the gift, and the three of them took their seats. Wei Xian said, "Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Lu's visit to our house really makes this small temple of mine shine."

Tang Ning said: "Forget the polite words, let's get straight to the point! Junior Brother Wei, I believe you have prepared the department's financial file report for the past three months!"

Wei Xian turned over his hand, took out a file, and said, "Then let me report to Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Lu on the financial situation of our department!"

The two nodded slightly.

Wei Xian opened the file: "As of the first day of August, before Senior Brother Tang raised the financial agenda in the Ministry Meeting Hall, the remaining funds of the Ministry were a total of 35,300 spiritual stones."

"In August, the Ministry's financial expenditure will be 5,000 spirit stones."

"On August 10, because the disciples of the third team were not moving smoothly, Xuan Ying sent a letter back to the sect to apply for support.

He returned to the Sect on July 23rd. The operation was funded by two thousand spirit stones."

"The Beiyuan Southern Intelligence Station uncovered clues about the Demon Sect's disciples and rewarded them with five hundred spirit stones."

"To sum up, the ministry's financial expenditure in August totaled five thousand spirit stones."

"On September 26, the Jiangdong Eastern Intelligence Station Xuanying sent a message. They found traces of the Demon Sect disciples. Wang Yan, a disciple of his station, was killed. He had an unmarried wife outside, who was a casual cultivator and gave him a thousand spirit stones. Subsidies.”

"The Jiangdong Eastern Intelligence Station has accurate clues and will reward three hundred spirit stones."

"To sum up, the ministry's financial expenditure in October is 4,100 spiritual stones."

"The department currently has 22,000 spiritual stones remaining."

Wei Xian explained the financial expenses of the past three months piece by piece, handed the file in his hand to Tang Ning and said, "Senior Brother Tang, take a look."

Tangning took the file and read it over. The records above were exactly what he said. This file should be closer to the truth.

There are still the last two months of this year, which means that Bu Ke still has more than 10,000 spiritual stones left.

"What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?" Lu Guang asked.

"Based on the average monthly expenditure, there is still money left in the department's funds. What will Senior Brother Lu do with this money?" Tang Ning put down the file and asked.

"What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?"

"How was it handled before?"

Lu: "The remaining funds are usually distributed to the managers at the end of the year. Junior Brother Tang should know that this is the tradition of our department. At the end of each year, a spiritual stone fee will be distributed to each manager. Junior Brother Wei is in charge There is a lot of finance involved, and there is usually no reward, so he gets 50% of the remaining funds.”

"I have no objection, but the income of the department should be more than this! In addition to the spiritual stone funds distributed by the sect, is there anything else?"

Lu Guang glanced at him with an expressionless expression: "What is Junior Brother Tang referring to?"

"Some of the external properties of the Ministry of Education, including lofts, gambling houses, and shops, were always managed by Senior Brother Lu, and later were handed over to Senior Brother Zhang. After all, this can be regarded as the Ministry of Education's property! Shouldn't it also be included? "In the department's property."

The hall fell into silence for a while, Lu Guang frowned slightly, Wei Xian touched his nose, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Lu Guang said slowly: "The supervisor's duty is to supervise and supervise the affairs of the sect's departments. Matters outside the sect are not under the jurisdiction of the supervisor. These matters have always been taken care of by the managers in charge of the specific affairs of the department."

The obvious implication of this is that he has no right to interfere in these matters.

Tang Ning said, "You can't say that. If it's a private property, of course I have no right to interfere, but these are the finances of the Intelligence Department. I think you should let me see the accounts anyway!"

Lu Guang was silent for a while and said: "With all the inspectors in the Intelligence Department, no one has ever made such a request, and the sect has no regulations that external accounts need to be supervised by inspectors."
