Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 494 The Mastermind
In Lu Guangdong's mansion on the middle finger peak, Wei Xian sat opposite him: "Senior brother Tang agrees with my suggestion, but he wants to disclose the real financial situation at the financial meeting at the end of the month. Senior brother Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Guang frowned and remained silent. Everyone in the sect knew many things well and could do it blatantly, but they couldn't say it openly. Even if it was an open secret, it was still a secret.

Once it is fully disclosed and placed on the table, it will not only look ugly, but also easy to prove.

There is no department in the sect that would openly disclose the real financial situation, and it is more or less taboo. What is Tangning's real purpose in doing this?If it is said that it is to catch himself, the sect will not convict him for this matter.

What's more, once it is put on the table, it must be approved by everyone before it can be implemented. If it is said to be guilty, everyone is guilty.

Lu Guang couldn't figure out Tangning's thoughts for a while, so he pondered for a while and said, "Let's do this! Please run over again and tell him that if he must know the financial situation of the department, he can privately give each supervisor a real file report .As for discussing it publicly in the meeting hall, it is inappropriate."

"Okay. I'll go now" Wei Xian replied, got up and left the cave.

Zhou Yingxue came from the inner room. She had heard the conversation between the two of them clearly just now. Seeing that Wei Xian had left the room, she frowned and asked, "What does Tangning mean by doing this? Is there a trick?"

Lu Guang shook his head: "I'm not quite sure what his real intentions are. He agreed to the previous distribution plan and asked for public financial discussions. He definitely wants to intervene in the financial affairs of the department. But it's not clear what he wants to do. If it is said that it is to find a handle on me, it should not start from this point."

Zhou Ningxue said: "No matter what, you have to guard against him."

"I know."

.........................................................

Wei Xian came to Tangning Cave Mansion and faithfully repeated Lu Guang's words.

Tangning pondered, "Let's do this! Let me make a suggestion. You go discuss it with Senior Brother Lu. Since Senior Brother Lu doesn't want to announce the real financial affairs in the meeting hall, then cancel the monthly financial meeting that was made earlier!"

"I hope that the department can add a private exchange meeting. Every manager can participate. It can be done once every three months, or once every six months. It can be held at my place or at Senior Brother Lu's. Then we will have a private meeting. can be open and honest about the true financial situation.”

"I will definitely pass on Brother Tang's words."

Wei Xian then came to Lu Guangdong Mansion again and explained Tangning's proposal.

Lu Guang frowned and said, "Why does he have to disclose his financial situation in front of everyone? There is no precedent for this in the department or even in the sect, and it is against the rules."

"You tell him that I agree with his request. You can add a private meeting, but the number of people must be limited. Since it is a private meeting and discussion, there is no need for other idlers to participate. Just you, me and him will do it in your cave. Where to meet, how often is up to him."

"Okay." Wei Xian returned to Tangning's side and conveyed Lu Guang's words. Tangning was silent for a while.

He knew what Lu Guang was worried about. On the one hand, he was worried that he had plans against him.

Two, worrying about their own influence, some things can only be said but not really done, some things can only be done but not said, even if they are known to everyone, they have to pretend to be secrets.

Once you tear off its fig leaf, you will face the strange stares of others.

In terms of Zongmen's finances, every department is the same, but no one really brings it to the table for discussion, because it harms the interests of those in power in the department.

Although every steward has gained certain benefits from it, but how much profit is obtained, the profit gained by the deacon is more than all the stewards combined, so once it is open and honest, it will cause many people to dissatisfy, even Hostile thoughts towards the deacon.

Although this is an open secret, in the final analysis, it is not legitimate income. It will give people a feeling of uneven distribution of spoils, and each steward gets a different amount. How much you get depends on the deacon's attitude towards you.

This can easily intensify internal conflicts.

Lu Guang was probably worried about this, and suspected that Tang Ning wanted to use the disclosure of finances to damage his personal prestige, make others dissatisfied with him, and expand his influence.

"Alright then! According to Senior Brother Lu's wishes, we will hold a private meeting every three months in your cave. This first time will be on October [-]th!" Tangning said after a long time.

He knew that this was already the biggest concession that Lu Guang could accept, and he must not be in a hurry to bring forth the new through the old, otherwise it would be counterproductive, and the future will last forever, so this matter has to be worked out gradually.

Seeing that he agreed, Wei Xian showed a smile on his face, got up and said, "Okay, I'll tell Senior Brother Lu right now."

It is good for everyone that this matter can be resolved peacefully. Originally, a head-on collision that might have been obvious, was resolved perfectly after the two negotiated and compromised. Wei Xian was very satisfied with the result.

As the steward in charge of finances, if the two of them were really at odds and fought face-to-face, and the quarrel reached the top of the sect, maybe he would be affected as well.

Both of them stood behind the high-level sect, one was the master of Qingxuan Hall, the other was the master of Xuande Hall, only he was helpless, sandwiched between the two.He didn't want to leave Lu Guang's support, nor did he want to offend Tangning completely.

………………

At noon the next day, Wei Xian came to Tangning's cave again and handed over [-] spirit stones to him.

It was already July, and Tangning had only been in office for a few days. There was only half a year left in this year. Logically speaking, he could only get [-] shares.But Wei Xian sent the whole year share, obviously showing sincerity.

After a friendly chat between the two, Wei Xian left.

Tang Ning cultivated mother-of-pearl mussels in the cave every day, and a month passed in a flash. During this period, the department held three meetings as scheduled, but no one mentioned financial matters, as if this matter did not exist at all. Zhao Liheng and Zhang Yan Naturally, I won't talk too much.

But after the incident, Zhao Liheng visited Tang Ning and asked about the matter. Tang Ning explained it to him, and the matter was considered exposed.

On this day, Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room, recovering her spiritual power, when the storage bag around her waist suddenly trembled.

He opened his eyes, took out the array disk, pointed at it, took the talismans floating in the thick fog into his hands, injected his spiritual consciousness, and a man's voice sounded in his mind, it was Feng Bao, the rotating disciple in the intelligence room.

Tang Ning immediately thought that there must be a reply from the Nighthawk Intelligence Station. He had instructed the rotation disciples in the intelligence room to inform himself immediately if there was an encrypted file sent back from the Nighthawk Intelligence Station.

He put away the mother-of-pearl mussels on the stone table, and went out of the cave. A man with big ears was standing outside. Seeing him falling from the light, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays respects to Master Tang."

"But there is a reply from the Nighthawk intelligence station?"

"Yes. The secret volume that was just delivered today is now in the intelligence room."

Tangning got up and went to the intelligence room, where two disciples on duty saluted him, and one of them handed him a sealed scroll.

Tang Ning took the file, opened the outer seal, opened it, and saw that it said: I received a letter from Brother Tang, and I immediately sent someone to contact the inside disciples of the Blood Bone Sect. After investigation, I found out that Ma Deyan, Wang Wenshu, Zhang Xuan Mingjun has passed away, only Tiehuagumu is still there, he has already broken through the realm of Jindan, and is now the elder of the Blood Bone Sect.

Below the dossier is the signature and seal of Wu Teng, the director of the intelligence station.

Holding this file, Tang Ning remained motionless and remained silent for a long time. The culprit who killed her parents and massacred Tangliu Village is now the last person who knows, but this person is a cultivator of Golden Core.

How can I be the opponent of the Jindan cultivator with my own cultivation base, but I have encountered the disaster of sighing again, and the road of cultivation has stopped here. Is there no hope for revenge in this life?

He couldn't help being depressed and irritable, for a long time, he sighed softly, put the file into the secret room, left the intelligence room, returned to the cave, sat on the stone bed, and stared blankly at the stone wall.

..........................................

Central Plains, in the remote mountain forest, a ray of light fell, revealing a Chinese character face, big eyes and bushy eyebrows in the figure of a middle-aged man, it was Zheng Wei, the director of the intelligence station.

As soon as he escaped the light, a disciple came with a sword, stopped in front of him and saluted: "Senior Zheng."

Zheng Wei nodded slightly, went straight into the basement, came to Du Yuankai's room, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." An old voice came from inside.

Zheng Wei pushed the door open and entered, and saw that the inside looked like a peach blossom, and a moon-looking woman with a beautiful face was sitting opposite Du Yuankai, talking about something.

Seeing him coming in, Xu Qingwan stopped talking, got up and said hello: "Brother Zheng."

Zheng Wei said: "Wan'er is here too!"

Xu Qingwan said: "Let's talk first! Envoy Du Xian, I will take my leave."

Du Yuankai nodded, and Xu Qingwan left the room.

"Brother Zheng, why are you here? Sit down!" Du Yuankai smiled.

Zheng Wei sat down and said, "I'm here to collect the funding I applied for last time."

"You can just go to Fellow Daoist Xu for the funds. If you come to me, there must be other things!"

Zheng Wei hesitated for a while and said: "I heard that Tang Xianshi has been released from prison?"

"Yes! Didn't you say that last time? Zongmen sentenced him to ten years in prison, and now he will be released after serving his sentence."

"I heard that Tang Xianshi not only returned to the intelligence department this time, but also served as a supervisor. I don't know if it is true?"

"There is such a thing. This is the decision of the sect, and it is beyond our control."

Zheng Wei doubted, "Since Immortal Tang is the inspector, will he harbor resentment for the previous incident and wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"

Du Yuankai smiled and said: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, you are not implicated in this matter. The masterminds are brothers Lu Guang and Lu Xingxian. At most, I am an accomplice, and you are just a helper. Besides, he may not know who is the mastermind." You. If you talk about revenge, it will be directed at me first, so don't worry, nothing will happen."
