Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 496 Financial Expenditure
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Tang Ning was instilling spiritual power into the mother-of-pearl clam. The storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He took out the formation disk and pointed it at it, and took the talisman floating in the dense fog into his hand.With the infusion of spiritual consciousness, a thick male voice sounded in my mind.

Xu Qiyuan stood outside the cave mansion. Seeing the thick fog billowing, a passage was cleared. He flashed into the room, bowed and said: "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

Tangning nodded slightly, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

"I heard that Uncle Tang was released after serving his sentence, so I came here to congratulate him."

"Let's not engage in that set of common etiquette between monks. I heard that you went to the Silver Fox Intelligence Station?"

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan replied: "When the disciple encountered a bottleneck for a long time, it was useless to practice in the sect all day long, so he wanted to take chances outside. The last time Du Xianshi returned to the sect, the disciple brought this matter up to him, and after he Agreed and transferred to the intelligence station."

Tang Ning hummed lightly, but did not speak. Xu Qiyuan looked up at him. Seeing that his expression did not change, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he continued, "The main purpose of this disciple is to congratulate my uncle on his release from prison after serving his sentence and his promotion. Supervise. In addition, my aunt asked me to deliver a message for her."

"Does Fellow Daoist Xu have anything to say?"

"Grandma asked me to ask you, do you know who is behind the scenes when you were framed this time, do you need her to check for you at the intelligence station?"

Tang Ning smiled, knowing that this question must be for Du Yuankai or Zheng Wei. On the surface, she was asking whether she should find out those who secretly helped Lv Guang in the intelligence station, but in fact it was based on her own attitude, whether she would retaliate against them.

Only with the intention of revenge, do you need to know the whistleblower in the intelligence station. In other words, finding the troublemaker in the intelligence station is to take revenge.

If you don't plan to retaliate, you don't need to know who the troublemaker is.

"Thank her for her kindness for me. This matter has nothing to do with the people in the intelligence station. The main thing is that I broke the commandment myself, and it has nothing to do with anyone."

"Yes."

"Since you have gone to the intelligence station, do your duty honestly. The affairs in the sect are not your concern. Go!"

"Disciple farewell." Xu Qiyuan exited the room.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. He was very displeased with Xu Qiyuan's behavior of being both right and wrong. This person was recruited into the sect by him back then, and he recommended him to join the intelligence department. From these two points, he is definitely one of his own.

At the beginning, his attitude made it clear that he was not allowed to go to the intelligence station, but as soon as he was imprisoned, he immediately went to find Du Yuankai. What does this mean?
If it wasn't for Xu Qingwan's face, she wouldn't have seen him.

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

The days in the sect were very peaceful, time passed, and three months passed.

Today is October [-]th, Wei Xian came to Tangning's cave early and invited him to his cave to have a talk at night, the two chatted for a while, Wei Xian said goodbye and left.

At night, Tangning put away the mother-of-pearl mussels and left the cave. When she came to the cave, she waved the talisman and handed it in.

Not long after, the dense fog billowed, a ray of light flashed out from inside, and Wei Xian's figure appeared. He smiled and said, "Senior brother Tang is here, please come in."

When the two entered the room, Tangning asked, "Has Senior Brother Lu arrived?"

"Not yet, the time must come soon."

The two arrived in a living room, sat opposite each other at a stone table, and chatted.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Xian turned his hand over, took out the array plate, took the talisman into his hand, and said: "Senior Brother Lu is here, Senior Brother Tang, take your seat, I'll go out to meet you."

Tang Ning nodded slightly. Wei Xian left the cave. Not long after, footsteps were heard outside, and Lu Guang and Wei Xian walked in.

"Senior Brother Lu." Tangning stood up to check.

Lu Guang also returned a gift, and the three of them took their seats, Wei Xian said, "Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Lu have come to our residence, it really makes my small temple flourish."

Tangning said, "Stop talking about the polite words, let's get straight to the point! Junior Brother Wei, you must have prepared the financial files and reports for these three months!"

Wei Xian flipped his hands over, took out a file, and said, "Then let me report to Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Lu about the financial situation of our department!"

The two nodded slightly.

"To sum up, the department's financial expenditure in October is [-] Lingshi."

"The remaining funds of the department are [-] Lingshi."

Wei Xian explained the financial expenses of the past three months one by one, handed the file in his hand to Tangning and said, "Senior Brother Tang, take a look."

Tangning took the dossier and looked it over. The records on it were exactly what he said. This dossier should be closer to the truth.

There are still the last two months of this year, which means that there are still more than [-] spirit stones left in the department.

"How does Junior Brother Tang feel?" Lu Guang asked.

"According to the average monthly expenditure, there is still a surplus of funds for the department. What will Brother Lu plan to do with this funds?" Tangning asked as she put down the file.

"What's your opinion, Junior Brother Tang?"

"How did you deal with it before?"

Lu: "The remaining funds are usually distributed to the stewards at the end of the year. Brother Tang should know that this is an old tradition in our department. Every year at the end of the year, a sum of spiritual stone fees will be distributed to the stewards. Master Wei is in charge. Finances are handled a lot in this area, and there are usually no rewards, so he takes [-]% of the remaining funds."

"I have no objection, but the department's income should be more than that! Besides the Lingshi funds issued by the sect, is there anything else?"

Lu Guang glanced at him, expressionless: "What is Junior Brother Tang referring to?"

"Some properties of the department outside, including attics, gambling houses, and shops, have been under the management of senior brother Lu before, and then handed over to senior brother Zhang. This should be regarded as the property of the department! Should it also be counted in In the Ministry's property."

The hall fell silent for a while, Lu Guang frowned slightly, Wei Xian touched his nose, no one spoke.

After a long time, Lu Guang said slowly: "The duty of the supervisor is to supervise and supervise the affairs of the sect's departments. Matters outside the sect are not under the jurisdiction of the supervisor. These matters have always been taken care of by the stewards in charge of the specific affairs of the departments."

The meaning of this remark is obvious, that is, he has no right to intervene in these affairs.

Tangning said, "You can't say that. If it's a private property, of course you don't have the right to intervene. But these are the finances of the Intelligence Department. I think I should let me see the accounts!"

Lu Guang was silent for a while and said: "With so many inspectors in the intelligence department, no one has ever made such a request, and the sect has no regulations. External accounts need to be inspected and supervised."
