The Fourth Financial Crisis
Chapter 520: Throwing dirty water
Even if Elder Fei was given 10,000 chances, he would never have imagined that the boss behind Rong Sheng was not Chen Ming, but Consultant Yang from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City. Moreover, Yang Lu only transferred Rong Sheng to the outside world during the trial on the battlefield. It was under the income account, so of course he couldn't detect any clues before that!
Although Fei Fan's expression was still gloomy, Chen Ming no longer wanted to pay attention to this lost dog.
According to Chen Ming's instructions, several disciples and elders of the Mountain Eagle Sect in the Qi Refining Period returned to the Mountain Eagle Sect to recuperate. The things here were no longer something that low-level monks could handle, and staying would only slow down everyone's progress. He planned to personally escort Fei Fan and Ye Chen to Yuehua City to report to Cheng Shuying.
Yuehua City is Cheng Shuying's hometown. It is only about 800 miles away from the mountain gate of Wuliang Sword Sect. Therefore, Cheng Shuying usually chooses this city as his retreat place. This time, Ye Chen's matter was too important, and Chen Ming did not hesitate to interrupt. Cheng Shuying's seclusion also had to leave this matter to the other party to decide.
However, Chen Ming did not expect that just when he was about to stretch out his hand to seal Elder Fei Fan's dantian Qi sea, the other party unexpectedly crushed a special communication jade talisman in his arms with lightning speed on the spot. …
If it were an ordinary communication spell, Chen Ming could cast a spell to intercept it. However, the communication jade talisman that Fei Fan crushed was of extremely high grade, and its activation speed was much faster than that of ordinary communication spells.
By the time Chen Ming reacted, the communication spell had already shot towards the headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect like lightning. Although Chen Ming tried his best to intercept the spell, Elder Fei finally gained the upper hand due to his calculations but not his intentions. Chen Ming took a step slower and could only watch the message, and threw himself into the mountain-protecting formation of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
When Chen Ming saw this, he immediately turned his head and glared at Fei Fan: "What message did you send out?"
At this time, Fei Fan's magic power had been blocked. He knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Chen Ming, so he asked carelessly: "Headmaster Chen, what message do you think I can convey?"
Chen Ming knew without thinking that this person must have gone to move reinforcements, so he simply stopped asking questions and quickly cast a spell to catch Ye Chen and Fei Fan, dragging them towards Yuehua like they were dragging luggage. , while taking off, he did not forget to use several breath-erasing spells on the crime scene.
Although Chen Ming's decision had been very decisive, the place where the battle had just taken place was too close to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
If Fei Fan chooses to move reinforcements from the Wuliang Sword Sect headquarters, the reinforcements will arrive here in two to three minutes at the fastest. In addition, the Mountain Eagle Sect’s spells are far less sophisticated than the Wuliang Sword Sect’s. Chen Ming’s hasty concealment Spells also seemed a little powerless in the face of the reconnaissance of monks of the same level from the Wuliang Sword Sect.
Just as Chen Ming was worried, the few people had just flown about 400 miles away when the pursuers from behind came up to chase them.
"Master Chen, please stay!"
Hearing the thunderous greetings from the pursuers behind him, Chen Ming accelerated his escaping speed a bit.
Whoever stays behind at this time is really stupid!
However, although he himself is a sixth-level Golden Core monk, he still carries two struggling oil bottles with him, and the pursuers coming from behind are all masters of the Golden Core stage, and at worst they are at the early stage of the Golden Core. After a few breaths, a magic barrier was erected in front of Chen Ming, blocking his way to Yuehua City.
When Chen Ming saw this, he had no choice but to stop.
Turning around and looking around, the pursuers at the rear also revealed their true colors in Lushan.
The person taking the lead is the mastermind behind this matter, Liu Hanxing, the vice president of Lingshi Reserve Bank!
In order to paralyze the Haiya system and create favorable conditions for Fei Fan's actions, Liu Hanxing specially convened a public meeting at the headquarters of Lingshi Reserve Bank to attract the attention of all parties.
But after receiving Fei Fan's urgent summons, he immediately realized:
Fei Fan may have overturned!
Although Ye Chen was just a little guy who was halfway building a foundation, his matter involved many cultivation forces. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, he had to personally deal with the aftermath.
The Wuliang Sword Sect's escape skills are better than those of the Mountain Eagle Sect, and Chen Ming also brought two big burdens with him on the way. It stands to reason that Liu Hanxing should have caught up with him long ago, but after all, Chen Ming has the No. 1 ranking in the southeastern coastal area of Zhongzhou. Liu Hanxing, who is known as a master and has a second-level Jindan cultivation level, also knows that he is no match for him.
So before chasing him, Liu Hanxing specially brought two golden elixir stage elders from the Wuliang Sword Sect from the Law Enforcement Hall as reinforcements. At this moment, the two Law Enforcement Hall masters who were following Liu Hanxing all had stronger auras than him, the Golden elixir master. The early monks are more powerful.
Among them, the weaker Jindan monk from the Wuliang Sword Sect had a sinister look on his face. He was none other than Tan Sijun, a cadre of the Law Enforcement Hall who had been seriously injured by Li Feiyu, the number one traitor in Zhongzhou. His strength has returned to the fourth level of the golden elixir, and because of the damage to his Dantian Qihai, he may never have the chance to return to the fifth level of the golden elixir in this life.
The other monk with a Chinese character face was even more powerful. He had obviously reached the late stage of Jindan. His rich aura even steadily overpowered Chen Ming, who was confronting the three of them in the air.
This stern-looking late-stage Golden Core cultivator is named Fu Meng, and he is also one of the top masters in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
Fu Meng not only possesses the strength of the seventh level of the golden elixir, but in the law enforcement hall, he is also responsible for arresting Zhongzhou traitors who have fled overseas with stolen money. He is nicknamed the "Cultivation Capitalist Killer" and his actual combat results are very brilliant.
Unlike the sycophants of the head of Lin who are full of in the law enforcement hall, Fu Meng is a real business master. Over the years, countless worms who have poached the corners of the Wuliang Sword Sect in Zhongzhou and then fled to Huoyunzhou with their money have been killed by this person. , and even many defected Jindan monks were killed overseas by this person single-handedly. The cultivation capitalists who fled from Zhongzhou all changed their colors when they heard his name.
Previously, when the boss of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce fled overseas, some people called for an arrest warrant to be issued for him, and Fu Meng would be the one to bring him to justice. Unfortunately, compared to Luo Hui, the Law Enforcement Hall had more difficult enemies to deal with.
When Liu Hanxing ran to the Law Enforcement Hall to bring in reinforcements, Fu Meng and Tan Sijun were having a meeting to discuss an action plan to go to Arctic State to get rid of the great traitor Li Feiyu. This mission was codenamed "Operation Fox Hunt", and the top person in charge was Fu Meng.
Because the Nascent Soul Stage monks made too much noise and there were too many people watching, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect prepared to send an assassination team composed of five late-stage Jindan masters to perform the mission.
According to the action plan formulated by Fu Meng, these five late-stage Jindan masters will break into parts and infiltrate into the Arctic State in batches for different reasons such as academic exchanges, foreign affairs visits, trade contacts, and formation formation, and then slowly infiltrate into the Arctic State. They slowly gathered near the Arctic Cold Palace and suddenly killed Li Feiyu, who was causing trouble in the Arctic Cold Palace on behalf of Tian Daxiao.
It was precisely because these two masters of the Law Enforcement Hall were having a meeting that Liu Hanxing was able to move to the reinforcements so quickly. If there was another delay, Chen Ming might have to take Ye Chen directly into Yuehua City.
However, although Fu Meng is a senior executive of the Law Enforcement Hall, he is not willing to take a trip into the muddy waters of Haiya City.
After hearing Liu Hanxing's intention to come, his first reaction was actually to refuse. After all, Chen Ming was Elder Cheng Shuying's confidant, and Ye Chen was a tool to create trouble for the Haiya Sect. Neither of them was easy to mess with. He was a pure person. How could a business expert end up being involved in such a political factional struggle?
What's more, the pilot reform of Haiya City's social security system has caused a lot of trouble in the city. Even the top leaders of many local sects have begun to seek information from people like him who rarely participate in the struggle.
Fu Meng was just unwilling to participate in politics, not that he didn't understand politics. He realized early on that the reform of the Wuliang Sword Sect must have encountered huge resistance.
Therefore, he clearly pointed out to Liu Hanxing that if he came forward to confront Chen Ming in person, the matter would be too big, and this would turn political conflicts into armed conflicts.
However, Liu Hanxing couldn't listen to his advice at all.
Liu Hanxing has already made a big splash for the Zhongzhou social security system reform pilot, and Ye Chen is his only hope to solve the problem quickly. As the saying goes, serious illness requires strong medicine. If he backs down now, what else can he do in the future? Means to break the deadlock?
Even though Fu Meng repeatedly said that things would go astray if this continued, Liu Hanxing still insisted on letting him take action, and even directly moved out Qiu Longbo, the Supreme Elder of the Nascent Soul Stage, and asked him if he planned to betray the Law Enforcement Hall.
Fu Meng had no choice but to sigh and follow Tan Sijun and Liu Hanxing to intercept Chen Ming.
Although the two of them argued over this matter for some time, since the three of them were all Golden Core Stage monks, they finally arrived first and intercepted Chen Ming before he entered Yuehua City.
Chen Ming looked at these ill-intentioned golden elixir monks from the Infinite Sword Sect and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, our Mountain Eagle Sect is performing official duties. What are you doing?"
Liu Hanxing replied with a stern face: "Master Chen, someone reported that Master Chen secretly detained our disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect. We are here to check the situation! Now it seems that this report is not without purpose!"
While speaking, Liu Hanxing also deliberately tapped Ye Chen and Fei Fan with his chin, who were controlled by Chen Ming's confinement spell.
Chen Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked knowingly: "Oh? Who is so capable that he can report me directly to President Liu?"
Of course, Liu Hanxing wasn't angry with Fei Fan for screwing up the matter. He pointed at Fei Fan's nose and said, "Thanks to Elder Fei from the Yin Mountain Eagle Sect for his righteousness in annihilating relatives!"
Hearing this, Fei Fan's heart suddenly thumped.
Although Chen Ming had known for a long time that he was hooking up with Liu Hanxing, Liu Hanxing chose to reveal the matter in public, obviously intending to make things worse and further sow discord between him and Chen Ming.
By committing such an act of selling out his teammates, Liu Hanxing obviously placed all the responsibility for the failure of this operation on his incompetence!
Realizing that both Chen Ming and Liu Hanxing wanted to kill themselves, Elder Fei felt a sense of crisis in his heart and quickly defended himself: "President Liu, although you failed in the task you assigned, that is definitely not my problem. I'm afraid it's There is a traitor beside you!"
Hearing this, Liu Hanxing was slightly startled on the spot.
He had long suspected that there was a traitor around him, but he couldn't find any clues. Listening to Fei Fan's conclusive accusation, could it be said that this guy had found the inner ghost that had him stuck in his throat?
So Liu Hanxing did not continue to pursue Ye Chen's matter, but immediately asked: "Traitor? Who is the traitor beside me?"
"The traitor next to you is Zhu Ziming from the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Liu Hanxing even cast an incredulous look at Fei Fan.
Faced with the staring gazes of several golden elixir-level monks, Elder Fei, who was telling lies with his eyes open, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
In fact, Elder Fei Fan is not 100% sure that there is something wrong with Zhu Ziming, but in order to get rid of the blame for his incompetence and allow Liu Hanxing to save himself from Chen Ming, he must find a scapegoat immediately, otherwise he will definitely be blamed later. Chen Ming was chopped alive!
In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Elder Fei's tone at this time was as decisive as if he was possessed by the soul of Detective Conan: "President Liu, our actions are so secretive, only the man named Zhu is qualified to break the news as soon as possible. Go out, now that I think about it, as soon as I walked out of the gate of the Wuliang Sword Sect, I might have been targeted by someone with an intention!"
Is that really the case?
Just like Fei Fan chose to unconditionally trust his direct disciple Rong Sheng, Liu Hanxing had never doubted Zhu Ziming's motives. Even the last time he checked for the mole, he deliberately ignored Zhu Ziming. After all, this person was related to The Haiya faction has a sworn hatred and has absolutely no motive to betray them.
But when Fei Fan broke through the window, Liu Hanxing instantly felt that Zhu Ziming had become suspicious.
Because Zhu Ziming is indeed a perfect criminal suspect.
Before the last time there was a problem with the selection of partners of the Wuliang Sword Sect's official charity, only Qiu Longbo, Lin Jianxing, and himself knew about the selection plan, and both Qiu Longbo and Lin Jianxing had confirmed that the insiders around them were not suspicious. action, and the insider on Liu Hanxing's side happened to be Zhu Ziming.
Moreover, Zhu Ziming was the first to propose the plan to activate Ye Chen. If the news leaked from him, then everything that followed would be completely logical.
Liu Hanxing had no doubt that it was Fei Fan's people who leaked the secret, because when the last recruitment leak happened, Fei Fan was still like a headless chicken, petitioning and complaining all over Yunlai City. At that time, he was even Wuliang The senior members of the Sword Sect didn't know which way to open the door, so it was impossible to snoop on such a very confidential document.
And the reasoning goes further. If Zhu Ziming is the mole, the recent events in Haiya City can also be explained.
The official charity hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect has not yet been established, and Zhu Ziming can hardly solve anything when he encounters an incident. He will only blame himself, the big boss, and harm himself, the powerful vice president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. , up to now, he has not worked seriously at Lingshi Reserve Bank for a few days. If this person hadn't been unlucky in his work, according to the original plan, he, Liu Hanxing, would have put Yuntianhua aside long ago and become the Supreme Emperor of Lingshi Reserve Bank. !
If Zhu Ziming himself was sent by Haiya City to create trouble for him, then it would make perfect sense!
