Chronicles of Celestial Origins

At night, in the majestic cave, Xie Xuan pushed the door open and entered, bowing.

"You're back, you've heard all the news! What's Sima Nianzu's attitude?"

"According to your instructions, I informed Sima Teng of the matter, and then went to see Sima Nianzu. He did not express his position clearly, he only said that he knew it, and asked me to convey his gratitude to you. However, Sima Teng showed his utmost kindness. With great interest, I believe he will try his best to tell Sima Nianzu to help. "

Xie Minghua nodded slightly without saying anything.

Xie Xuan glanced at him and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, I heard that after Tang Ning's interrogation today, He Lian and Yu Qingxiao had different opinions and tit-for-tat, and they had a fierce quarrel?"

"You are pretty well-informed with these gossips. He Lian wants to finalize the case directly, but Yu Qingxiao doesn't agree, and no one can convince anyone."

"What about the end! Has the case been finalized?"

Xie Minghua shook his head.

"Why don't you support He Lian's decision to directly conclude the case? If the case is finalized, no matter what the result of the joint review is, the case will be reported to the sect. It will be difficult for Tangning to stand up. Now that the case has not been finalized, how can the case be suppressed? Didn’t it give them an opportunity to manipulate?”

"The situation is still unclear now, so there is no need to get involved too early. The evidence and confessions given by He Lian may not be credible. If I support the finalization of the case, I will wait and see if things get too big in the future. What happened? He Lian didn't even say hello. He directly ordered the arrest without telling me, and he was going to kill him first and then report him. As you can see, Xu Mengyuan came over in a hurry not long after Tang Ning committed the crime. This shows his importance in Fang Dasheng’s heart. I guess there must be stronger support behind him. As expected, this person should come out of the water this time.”

……………

In the slightly dim room in the Tianniu Mountains, Sima Nianzu and Hao Jianren were seated on the left and right sides, chatting. After a while, Fang Dasheng came in from the outside and walked to the main seat to sit down.

The three-person meeting of the alliance is also known as the alliance meeting in private, and the meetings are held as scheduled every month.

The participants are the three top executives of the team.

The purpose of the meeting is naturally to solve the complicated affairs of the alliance in January. Since the big meeting is held once every three months, the alliance has hundreds of people, distributed in thirty pavilions and cities, occupying many jurisdictions, and many affairs have to wait. No decision will be made after three months.

Small meetings are mainly used to solve such problems. As the three people with the highest positions in the alliance, if they reach a unified opinion, they can directly issue orders in the name of the alliance. If there are differences, they need to be discussed during the big meeting. Most decisions are made by voting.

And if there is a sudden emergency and the opinions of the three people diverge, the action strategy will be quickly decided by the minority obeying the majority.

No matter whether it is a big or small matter, when there are differences in decision-making and they need to be resolved by voting, the captain of the team has a half-vote advantage. That is to say, only when the inspector and the deputy captain both oppose the captain's decision, the decision will not be passed.

"It's the end of the year soon, Junior Brother Sima, all the supplies that need to be handed over are ready!" Fang Dasheng said.

Sima Nianzu said: "This time, the materials under the jurisdiction of each brigade have been collected. All the materials that need to be handed over to the column have been sorted and stored in the savings hall. The rest are handled as usual."

"I heard that something went wrong during the collection of supplies by the Second Brigade?"

"Yes, a resource area that produces red manganese solution under the jurisdiction of the second brigade's fourth team has been concealed for personal gain. After investigation, it was found that nearly 20% of the green manganese solution mined there was responsible for this. The disciples of the industry stole it for themselves." Sima Teng turned his hand and took out a file and handed it to Fang Dasheng.

"This is the investigation report submitted by the Second Brigade a few days ago. According to the review by the alliance, the case has been finalized. According to their investigation conclusion, Zhang Xian, the captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Second Brigade, did not know about this matter and was actually a spiritual disciple stationed there. Wen Huayuan's private behavior, he teamed up with the person in charge of the mining progress to sell the solution secretly mined. "

"This person is currently in custody of the Second Brigade. For Captain Zhang Xian, the Second Brigade decided to give him a one-year salary penalty, deduct 50 points of merit, and cut half of the funding of the Fourth Brigade for three years. As for Wen Huayuan, , will be escorted to the sect for trial and conviction by the three departments, and all finances will be confiscated.”

Fang Dasheng frowned and said: "What's going on with the second team? They have made mistakes repeatedly. First, the disciples fought with each other, and then there was the embezzlement of spiritual mines, including friction with the Zhenxian Sect. Now there is the embezzlement of industrial resources. I think the source of this is still Team management.”

"The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If we don't hammer it, it won't work. I propose to cut the funding of the second brigade by 30% next year as a warning. What do the two junior brothers think?"

Hao Jianren nodded and said: "It really needs to be cracked down. Not to mention other things, there have been two cases of embezzlement. If we don't give some clues, if we continue to indulge, we don't know what will happen."

The two agreed and the matter was settled.

"In addition to receiving the resource embezzlement investigation file from the Second Brigade, I also received a file report from the First Brigade, which is about the criminal investigation of Tang Ning, the acting captain of the Fifth Team of the First Brigade." Sima Nianzu turned over another file in his hand. He took out a stack of files and handed them to Fang Dasheng.

"Tang Ning was suspected of killing Lin Quan, a disciple recruited by his team. According to the investigation of the First Brigade, the reason why Tang Ning killed Lin Quan was because his team lost two hundred and fifty beads of elixir. He suspected that Lin Quan had stolen it, so he killed him in anger. "

"However, the investigation results show that there is no substantial evidence to prove that Lin Quan is the one who stole the elixir, including the testimony of other people who deny this."

"Tang Ning confessed to the murder of Lin Quan. In addition, he also seriously injured five other recruiting monks. The reason was also related to the stolen two hundred and fifty beads of elixir."

"According to regulations, cases involving the captain of the team need to be reviewed by the team. Therefore, the First Brigade did not make a hasty conclusion, but temporarily removed him from the position of captain of the Fifth Team. He is still in the First Brigade. "

Fang Dasheng flipped through the file, closed it after a while, and handed it to Hao Jianren again: "I have also heard about this matter. I heard that the two hundred and fifty Pearl Purple Smoke Fruits that were to be handed over to the sect were transferred. These people It's so brave. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise it would not look good if these things were handed over to the column. "

Hao Jianren flipped through the file briefly, put it down and said, "Even if he is guilty, Tang Ning does not have the right to commit suicide privately. Although Lin Quan is a monk under the fifth team, he received the salary from Qingwu Camp. Even if he is guilty, he still has no right to commit suicide privately." It must be handled in accordance with the regulations. This is a necessary regulatory procedure.”

"How can a person like Tang Ning, who can kill and dispose of monks indiscriminately and recruit monks for the headquarters, be okay? What's more, Lin Quan is not guilty in the first place, so he has committed another crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"I think this Tang Ning is simply lawless. He regards Team 5 as his private kingdom. Does he think he is the emperor? Are those recruited monks his ministers who can do whatever he wants and kill them as he pleases?"

"Having only been in office for one year, he caused such a big trouble, killing one person and seriously injuring five others. He acted so wantonly and recklessly. It shows that this person is narrow-minded and arrogant."

Fang Dasheng said: "Since the case has not yet been finalized, it is inconvenient for us to make rash decisions. I intend to shelve the case for now and wait for the review results to come out before we discuss it. Pan Yuan, who is directly under the brigade, is prudent and steady in his work. He can take the lead in this review. "

Sima Nianzu said: "One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Zhang Xian is a fair man, so he can assist Pan Yuan in this review."

Hao Jianren said: "Xu Lin is honest and down-to-earth, and he can join the review team."

Fang Dasheng said: "Then Pan Yuan will be responsible, with Zhang Xian and Xu Lin assisting, to lead the investigation team to the fifth team of the first brigade to review the case."

………………

The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the rain was pouring. On the top of the remote mountain, two rays of light shot out, and two men wearing Taixuanzong costumes appeared. One of them had big ears, broad shoulders, and a round waist. They were Xu Yuan, the team manager. His disciple Mo Xian.

The other person, with a broad face and fair complexion, was none other than Xu Mengyuan.

There was already a person waiting here, but he saw that his right arm was fixed with a splint. Seeing the two people arriving, the man hurriedly came forward and saluted.

Mo Xian introduced: "Junior Brother Xu, he is Mo Chaoyang, a junior in our clan. Chaoyang, this is Junior Brother Xu Mengyuan, the chief disciple of our unit. He has something to ask you, and you must answer truthfully. , there must be no deception.”

Xu Mengyuan asked with a smile: "How is your hand? It's nothing important!"

"Thank you for your concern, senior. This junior is not seriously injured. It's just a pain in the skin and flesh. The severed limb has been reattached with elixir and he will be able to recover after a period of rest."

"It's okay. I heard that Junior Brother Tangning is responsible for this?"

"yes."

"To tell you the truth, I came here today precisely for this matter. My master and Junior Brother Tang are old acquaintances, and they are also very concerned about this matter. They sent me here to find out the details. Since you are the person involved, can you Will Long Qumai Dao come to me in the future?"

"Yes." Mo Chaoyang responded and glanced at Mo Xian, hesitantly.

"Junior Brother Xu and I have been close friends for many years, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him here to see you. Whatever Junior Brother Xu asks you, you must answer truthfully without any deception." Seeing this, Mo Xian said.

Xu Mengyuan also expressed relief: "We are here today just to find out the truth privately. You don't have to worry. No matter what mistakes you have made before, as long as you tell the truth, we will keep you safe."

"That day..." Mo Chaoyang then told the whole story of the incident.

Xu Mengyuan nodded after hearing this: "So, Lin Quanguo is the one who stole the elixir, and the reason why you gave false testimony is because you are worried about being implicated."

"yes."

Xu Mengyuan muttered: "Junior Brother Tang Ning did something wrong in this matter. I hope that Senior Brother Mo can forgive me. I think he must not know about your relationship with Fellow Daoist Mo. If he knew, he would never be like this. When Junior Brother Tang is avenged, he will be avenged." Afterwards, I took him to apologize to Senior Brother Mo in person."

Mo Xian said: "Chaoyang violated the rules and protected the main culprit who stole the elixir. He should be punished. If it were me, I would not let him go. Losing his arm is relatively minor. A mere flesh wound is not enough for monks like us." What did you say?"

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I need your help with something."

"Whatever the seniors give you, the juniors will do their best."

"The alliance's review team will arrive in the near future. At that time, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Mo to tell the truth about the matter and clear Brother Tang Ning's innocence. As for the mistakes you have committed, there is no need to worry. Senior Brother Mo and I will ensure that You're fine."

"I will obey the orders of my seniors."

"Besides that, I want you to do one more thing."
