Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1180
In Yuanxian County, the branch of the Nether Sea Organization, in the majestic hall, in the dark room, a man curled up in a corner listlessly, looking very tired.

The stone door outside the house was pushed open, and several men and women filed in. The leader had a fair complexion and a red birthmark between his eyebrows.

Several people sat down one by one, and Xu Wenruo smiled: "Peng Yuanzhi, we have already investigated your abuse of private power and embezzlement of public funds very clearly. We need you to tell the truth. Who is behind you? It should be very clear. If you tell the truth, your sins can be mitigated."

Peng Yuanzhi raised his head and glanced timidly at the few people, then quickly lowered his head, almost buried his head in his neck, hiding like an ostrich.

A burly man below slammed the desk and said: "Peng Yuanzhi, look at what this place is, and you still haven't told the truth when you get here, do you really want us to do it?"

"We won't wrong any good person. There must be conclusive evidence to invite you here. Since you are still taking chances, then fine! Take a look at these things." Xu Wenruo handed him a stack of files.

Peng Yuanzhi took the file and flipped through it. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, his breathing became short of breath, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat at the back.

"As early as a long time ago, someone anonymously reported your embezzlement of public funds to us, but because the war was approaching, we took the overall situation into consideration and did not investigate deeply. When you returned to Xuantang City this time, I didn't expect you to become more serious and more unscrupulous. "

"Peng Yuanzhi, the organization treats you well! You were originally from a low-level casual cultivator. You were persecuted by aristocratic families and imprisoned by them. It was the organization that used your connections to rescue you, but you were greedy for profit and took bribes. Under your rule, Yixinting was turned into a miasma."

"Here are the signatures of your subordinates, the signatures of relevant members of the Chamber of Commerce, and all the personal and physical evidence. Do you still think you can get away with it?"

"You are very clear about the discipline of the organization. The crimes you committed are simply unforgivable. We can directly convict you."

"But we know that you are not the person behind the scenes. You can't do these things with your ability and the resources you control. You are just a middleman. There must be someone behind you. If you can take the initiative to speak out about this person, your conviction will be severe. It will be much lighter."

"Such a large amount of high-level medicinal herbs has been sold at a low price for so many years. I'm afraid it will not exceed [-]% of how much you can get! We have checked all your assets, including the spirit stones you have stored in the chamber of commerce. Even if you add Your expenses over the years are far from enough to sell the elixir."

"Are you really willing to take the blame for the person behind the scenes? Let him enjoy himself and bear everything by himself?"

"We have been secretly investigating you for so long. Who do you usually communicate with and who do you meet and talk to the most? We know very well that even if you don't tell us, we can probably guess who it is. Now we are just giving you a chance to let you Speak out about him, and you will lessen your guilt."

As soon as Xu Wenruo's words fell, a person below slapped the desk and shouted, "If you haven't recruited quickly, do you really think there is nothing we can do about you? Now that the evidence is complete, if you are stubborn, don't blame us for searching for your soul."

Hearing this, Peng Yuanzhi was terrified, and his body visibly trembled: "I said, I said, these herbs were given to me by Wei Ting."

"Wei Ting? Is there anyone else?"

"I only contact Wei Ting. I don't know if there is anyone above him. This kind of thing is a one-line contact. Whether it is shipping or receiving money, it is Wei Ting who comes forward. He never says where the goods come from. I never ask."

"How much do you get for each shipment?"

"Two and a half percent of the income."

"Where's Wei Ting?"

"I do not know."

.........

Everyone questioned every word and every word for about half an hour, and then filed out of the room.

"With Peng Yuanzhi's evidence, we can arrest Wei Ting directly. I propose to send people to Xuantang City to arrest Wei Ting immediately." One person said.

"Wei Ting is just a business manager stationed in the Xuantang City branch. He has such a great ability to get those high-level medicinal herbs? And we have never received any reports about Wei Ting, even if he doesn't know where he got them from." After buying so many high-level medicinal herbs, it is not easy to give them to Peng Yuanzhi quietly and avoiding people's eyes. After so many years, they have conducted so many transactions without anyone noticing? I think there must be something more behind him. A high-ranking and powerful person will cover him."

"Whatever? First arrest Wei Ting and then we'll talk."

……

In the blink of an eye, several months passed in the blink of an eye. After several months of training, Tangning's mental state was finally much better than before, and she was able to practice Shenyoujue again.

What he has to do now is to rebuild the spiritual consciousness that was lost due to splitting. This is not an easy task, at least dozens or even hundreds of years.

Fortunately, the technique of splitting the gods and transforming consciousness was successfully performed and the golden soup was seized, so it was a gain and a loss!
On this day, he was tempering his spiritual consciousness with the Shenyoujue exercise in the room, when there was a knock on the door outside the room.

He opened his eyes from the meditation, took back all the spiritual consciousness, took a deep breath, waved his hand, the stone door turned open, and a man with a wide mouth came in from the outside, bowed and said: "Uncle Master, Jintang has just woken up, and the disciple came here to report."

This person's surname was Deng Mingguan, and he was one of Tangning's three disciples. Hearing this, he was overjoyed. His second Nascent Soul finally woke up.

He immediately got up and came to another room, in the spacious and bright room, Jin Tang was lying on the stone bed, looking around blankly.

Seeing Tangning enter, his blank eyes suddenly became focused.

The two looked at each other, Tangning walked towards him step by step, Jin Tang also stood up slowly.

Tangning made a complex seal with his hands, and the light in his palms flowed, gradually enveloping himself. His palms were pressed against Jin Tang's chest, and the dazzling light enveloped both of them.

Jin Tang's eyes became brighter, as a flood of memory fragments flooded his mind. At this moment, Tangning had completely awakened the Second Nascent Soul.

Until the light disappeared, the two stood facing each other no more than three feet away.

"I am you." Jin Tang said suddenly.

"Yes, you are me."

Tangning nodded in response, there was no need to say anything more at this time.

……

Yuanxian County, Youminghai Branch, two people sat facing each other in a dark room.

"Wei Ting is missing." Xu Wenruo said lightly.

"What? He's missing?" The man opposite was taken aback.

"I just got the news that the Xuantang City branch has reported to the headquarters that Wei Ting is missing."

"How could it be such a coincidence? As soon as we got Wei Ting's testimony from Peng Yuanzhi, the Xuantang City branch sent the news of his disappearance."

"Of course this is not a coincidence. The headquarters received the news of Wei Ting's disappearance yesterday. The news had already been sent from Xuantang City a month ago. I have read the file sent by the Xuantang City branch. Wei Ting appeared last The time at the Xuantang City branch was May 44, that is, [-] days ago, and ten days later, the Xuantang City branch sent the news of his disappearance."

"May [-]th?" The man frowned: "We arrested Peng Yuanzhi on May [-]th, and he disappeared on May [-]th, so fast."

"That's why I say it's definitely not a coincidence. We secretly arrested Peng Yuanzhi when he was out, and they found out the news so quickly. The people behind it are quite powerful, and someone inside us must have leaked the news."

"What does Fellow Daoist Xu mean, that Wei Ting was murdered and silenced on May [-]th?"

"Is there any other possibility?"

"If this is the case, then the problem is very serious. They are so aggressive and kill people to silence them, which shows that the problem is more serious than we thought."

"Recently, the ethos of the headquarters has been a bit too loose, especially after returning to Yuanxian County and occupying so many fertile lands at once, many people are ready to move. I have heard a lot of discussions about what to do on the battlefield You should enjoy the results of these sites that you fought so hard for. The headquarters set up a supervisory position and sent us here to curb this bad trend. If we don’t punish a few corrupt elements, we won’t be able to suppress them. This style."

"I understand. I personally took people to Xuantang City to strictly check their finances. Since they dared to kill people and silence them, the matter must be very serious. If the matter is serious, it is impossible to be leak-proof. No matter how clean the account is, it will be kept. Under the clues."

"Okay, you lead a monitoring team to station in Xuantang City, use the excuse of investigating Peng Yuanzhi's embezzlement and reselling the elixir, strictly investigate their finances, and continue to investigate along the line of Peng Yuanzhi. I will secretly dispatch another group of members To help you, I imagine that the people behind Xuantang City may not only resell the elixir, but may also have other corruption matters. They are responsible for investigating other people, and you all work together. This dark line investigation team is in addition to you do not tell anyone."

"I see."

"Be careful of our internal leakers. The news of Peng Yuanzhi's arrest was known to them so soon. If there is an insider, I will not send people to participate in the investigation team of Peng Yuanzhi. I will choose another group of people to go with you. .Besides, you have to be very careful, if they jump the wall in a hurry, there is no guarantee that they will not engage in conspiracy to assassinate."
