Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Senior, what's important when you come here?" In Xuanyang Pavilion, in front of the Luo Family Mansion, a man came forward and saluted.

"Excuse me, please inform the head of your family that Tang Ning, the head of Taixuanzong's Jingyuan Pavilion, is here to visit."

"Senior, please wait a moment." The man turned around and turned into light and left. After waiting for about a stick of incense, the man returned to the three of them and said, "Master Zhang, please come in, senior."

"Master Zhang?" Tang Ning frowned slightly: "I wonder which fellow Taoist in your mansion is this?"

"Mr. Zhang Mingyu is the head of the Foreign Affairs Department of our mansion."

"Didn't fellow Taoist inform the head of your family about our visit?"

"Senior, my responsibilities and authority in the government are only to pass the news to my superiors. As for whether the superiors have informed the head of the family about this matter, I have no right to ask. The answer I received is that Chief Changyu invites you to come over."

Tangning glanced at him and said without saying anything else, "Lead the way!"

"Yes." Several people jumped into the air, and after a while, they arrived in front of a hall.

Like Xuanmen, the internal organization of the spiritual family is strict and orderly. Although its structure is slightly different from Xuanmen's three halls, three courtyards, five departments and six subjects, it is essentially the same, and everyone performs their own duties.

The interior of the Cultivation Family is divided into ten halls, namely the Law Enforcement Hall, the Fa Chuan Hall, the Qinxun Hall, the Jinglian Hall, the Ziyong Hall, the Jiedu Hall, the Guard Hall, the Treasury Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the Internal Affairs Hall.

Above the ten halls, there are five positions: internal manager, external manager, financial manager, counselor, and elder.

The Foreign Affairs Hall, as the name suggests, is the hall responsible for many large and small matters outside the clan.

"Senior Tang, please."

Several people entered the inner room. In the spacious and bright hall, sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man with a beard and full cheeks, who was in the late Nascent Soul.

Seeing the three people coming in from outside, the man stood up to greet them, bowed his head and saluted: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I am Changyu. Thank you for meeting them."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Ning returned the gesture.

"Please take a seat."

The two sat separately as guest and host.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, Tang is here to recruit disciple Yan Qing for the headquarters. I heard from people below that he is in your hands. Is it true?" Tang Ning asked straight to the point without trying to trick anyone.

"That Yan Qing didn't know what was good or bad. He interfered in the internal affairs of our house and seriously injured two monks of our house. Such a madman is simply lawless. Your sect should give an explanation to our house for this matter!"

"So you designed to arrest him. So, Yan Qing is really in your hands. I wonder if I can see him?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang has misunderstood. How dare our government privately detain your sect to recruit disciples? We have already sent him to your unit. As for the punishment of your sect, it is not up to us. We only ask that your sect can severely punish this madman in accordance with the regulations." only."

Tang Ning said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I wonder if I can meet senior Luo Hui?"

"Unfortunately, the head of the family is not in the mansion right now. I'm afraid my trip will be in vain."

"Is there no room for change in this matter? Yan Qing was just confused for a moment. I hope your mansion can give him this opportunity. As for the two seriously injured monks in your mansion, just ask for any compensation. Tang can do it. I will never refuse.”

Zhang Yu glanced at him meaningfully: "Fellow Taoist Tang, in order to recruit a monk, you not only visited him in person, but also took care of him. Could it be that this son is your relative and descendant?"

"To be honest, this Yan Qing is from my old sect. I was originally a monk of the Qianyi Sect in Xingang, Qinghai. Due to the invasion of Mubei demons, he joined the Qingzhou Allied Army and was later selected into our sect. Yan Qing is also a monk of Qianyi Sect. Disciple of Yi Zong, he later defected to me. Not to mention this relationship, if anything happens to any of the monks recruited in our team, I can't just sit back and ignore it. This matter is entirely due to my captain's lax control. I hope you will. The government can give him a chance.”

"Zhang admires Taoist friend Tang for his kindness and righteousness in caring for his subordinates. However, Yan Qing seriously injured our monk. He violated the laws of your sect and brought it upon himself. There is really nothing we can do."

Tangning was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Okay, that's the case, I won't disturb fellow Taoist fellows, and I'll take my leave."

"I'm seeing fellow Taoist off." After a few people left the hall, Tang Ning paused and turned around and asked, "By the way, Fellow Taoist Zhang, I wonder how Xu Yunsheng is doing now. Can I see her?"

"I'm really sorry. Because she disobeyed her father, she was fined for three months and was not allowed to see anyone during this period."

"But she is still recruiting a disciple for the headquarters. Your government's decision to detain her privately is not appropriate."

"Before our government picked her up, her father had already submitted an application to your regiment. She is not a formal disciple of your sect, but a temporary recruit, so she can leave at any time. And this decision was not made by our government. It’s her father’s request for her.”

Tang Ning didn't say anything more, she said goodbye, and several people jumped into the air and left the place.

…

In Xuantang City, in the Tianniu Mountains, in front of the majestic cave, Tang Ning escaped from the light and fell.

Not long after, a man with a fair complexion came out to greet him. The two exchanged a few words, then entered the inner room together and took their seats in the hall.

The man's name is Yuan Xian, and he is the disciple in charge of the interrogation hall of the alliance.

"Junior Brother Yuan, I have taken the liberty to bother you this time because I really want to ask for something."

"Senior Brother Tang, could it be that you are here to recruit disciples for the person named Yan Qing in your department?"

"Yes, I heard that he was detained in the interrogation room of the alliance, so I came to find you. Junior Brother Yuan, please tell me the truth. How far has this matter progressed?"

Yuan Xian smiled: "I have read his interrogation file and know that he is from Qianyi Sect in Xingang, Qinghai. He has an unusual relationship with you, Senior Brother Tang. I had expected that you would come to me. But there is really nothing I can do about this matter. I have reported the matter to Uncle Sima."

"So fast?" Tangning frowned.

"After the people from the Luo family escorted him here, they have been urging them to deal with this person as soon as possible and give them an answer. There is nothing I can do."

"What's Uncle Sima's attitude?"

"He has already issued an order, which is punishable by two hundred years' imprisonment for the serious crime of wounding. Now it is to be sent to the third brigade for the captain, supervisor and deputy captain of your brigade to sign."

"Two hundred years?" Tangning was shocked. This was obviously an excessive sentence, and she thought it was retaliation for herself.

Last time on Xie Minghua's birthday, he offended the Sima family. Sima Nianzu was standing by at the time. Due to the situation, he did not reprimand him, but he was definitely not happy in his heart.

Now that Yan Qing is in his hands, he will definitely not get any favors. With his identity and status, he may not be able to argue with a mere golden elixir recruiting disciple.

But as the saying goes, if you love a house and a crow, you will naturally hate a crow and a crow. Sima Nianzu knew that Yan Qing was his former classmate, which was enough to arouse his disgust, so the sentence was obviously increased.

The man surnamed Yuan nodded and said: "This is what Uncle Sima ordered. The file has been sent out and is about to be sent to your brigade."

"Junior Brother Yuan, I have a merciless request. I hope you can be accommodating."

"Senior Brother Tang, you should know that it is not up to me to decide how to sentence or deal with someone."

Tang Ning said, "I understand. I just hope that you can temporarily withhold the file and not send it to the Third Brigade yet."

Yan Qing is a recruited disciple of the squad. According to the sect's regulations, his disposal should be decided by the squad, so the signatures of the squad leader, supervisor, and deputy captain are required. This procedure is inevitable.

If Sima Nianzu had any objections to the decision, he would have to wait until the brigade's files were reported to the alliance. The instructions he gave now were only to recommend sentencing and punishment.

But in fact, once this recommended sentencing penalty reaches the brigade, it will soon become the punishment result of the brigade. Needless to say, brigade inspector He Lian, brigade captain Xie Minghua has always been on good terms with Sima Nianzu and will definitely not refute him. face.

As for deputy captain Yu Qingxiao, first of all, he alone could not change the outcome, and it was impossible for him to fight against Xie Minghua and Sima Nianzu just for the sake of recruiting disciples.

Once the case is settled, there is really no way around it.

"This..." Yuan Xian hesitated and said, "It's against the rules!"

"So Junior Brother Yuan needs to be cautious. Uncle Sima probably didn't tell you when to send it to the brigade! In this case, you can press it on your hand first and give me seven days to make plans."

Yuan Xian hesitated for a while: "Okay! Since Senior Brother Tang has spoken, for your sake, I will suppress it first. But we have agreed that if Senior Uncle Sima asks about this matter during this period, I can’t stay any longer, and when the seven days are up, I will send them out immediately.”

"Thank you, Junior Brother Yuan. I would like to meet Yan Qing, but I don't know if it is possible."

"This is easy, I'll take you there!"

The two of them left the cave one after another and came to a simple hall. Inside, there were two disciples sitting cross-legged and practicing with their eyes closed.

Tangning and Yuan Xian walked in from outside, and they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Where is the imprisoned recruiting disciple from the fifth team of the third team? Take me there."

"Yes." One of them responded, leading the two of them through the hall and to the stone door of a long corridor.

"Senior Brother Tang, please!"

Tangning pushed open the door and walked in. Inside the simple stone room, Yan Qing was leaning in the corner, looking very tired.
