Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 922
It was another day of heavy snow, the sky and the earth were all white, Pingling Mountain was covered with silver, and a mysterious spirit ship flew in the distance. The flag fluttering on the bow was engraved with "First of the Fourth Army of Taixuanzong Qingwu Battalion." The words "The First Battalion of the Fifth Wing of the Column".

Not long after the Xuanling boat was waiting, a gap was formed in the light curtain, and several figures flashed out inside, and the leader was none other than Tangning.

With a flash of his figure, he came to the Xuanling ship, and entered the cabin under the guidance of a disciple.

Inside the room, Yu Qingxiao was sitting cross-legged on the futon. Tangning entered from the outside, and Jishou saluted, "Senior Brother Yu."

"Junior Brother Tang is here, please sit down." The two sat opposite each other, and Yu Qingxiao smiled and said, "Jiang Xinquan resigned, and now the burden of the fifth team falls on you, how is it? Are you still used to it? You should be familiar with the business!"

"Thanks to Senior Brother Jiang's careful teaching, I have a general understanding of the team's business process, only some minor details are not fully understood. Fortunately, with the assistance of the team's disciples, it is not a problem to complete the task assigned by the sect. "

"With your words, I feel relieved. I heard that Jiang Xinquan was quite dissatisfied with the headquarters because of his salary before he left office. He often complained, put down his picks, and ignored all affairs. He was either playing here or there. Visiting friend, is there such a thing?"

"To tell you the truth, brother, there are complaints, and it's not enough to pick someone up. In terms of team affairs, I don't understand. Every time I ask him for advice, he will tell him wholeheartedly, which is considered to be responsible."

"It's really lack of people." Yu Qingxiao sneered: "Jiang Xinquan has been in this position for so many years, and he has made a lot of money. The sect has never treated him badly. How many people in the headquarters don't know? The alchemy hall uses medicinal herbs from the jurisdiction as supplies."

"Hmph, now it's just that half of his salary has been cut according to the regulations, and he has a lot of grievances. It can be seen that this person is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

Tangning didn't answer.

Yu Qingxiao continued: "The handover materials are all ready!"

"Yes, just wait for the brigade to receive it."

"Last time I heard from you that there was some friction between the Nether Sea organization branch here and Xuanyezong. How is this period? Is it still peaceful?"

Tang Ning said: "Since Xiao Ting, the head of the Nether Sea branch in this pavilion, made a big fuss about Chen Jin's birthday, the head teacher of Xuanyezong, the relationship between the two parties has been somewhat tense. Xuanyezong clearly punished his department for corruption. The disciples of the mine are constantly moving in secret."

"It's been reported that thieves have been haunting the Nether Sea branch recently, looting monks' belongings, and even murdering and stealing their goods. This has caused panic, causing the business of the information trading station opened by them to drop sharply, and many casual cultivators dare not go there again. area to go."

"I reckon it was Xuanyezong who did it, and the Nether Sea organization also sent a team to ambush these thieves. I heard that the two sides had fought several times, but the scale was not large."

"So far, both sides have only tacitly agreed, and there has been no showdown. However, if this continues, it is not certain whether the conflict will expand, or even a major fierce conflict will occur."

Yu Qingxiao nodded: "We must pay close attention to their movements, and find an opportunity to talk to Xuanyezong. Don't go too far. It will not benefit them if things get bigger, and the higher-ups don't want major conflicts."

"I know."

While the two were talking and chatting, a disciple came in from the outside, bowed and saluted and said, "Master Yu, the material storage hall of the fifth team has arrived."

"Okay, Junior Brother Tang, let's go!" Yu Qingxiao got up and walked out. Tangning followed and came to the deck. There are many stone boxes with seals affixed to them, and the details inside are written.

Yu Qingxiao waved his hand, and several disciples behind him stepped forward to check the contents of the stone box one by one.

Yan Ming led a few people to accompany him throughout the inspection, while Tangning chatted with Yu Qingxiao from the sidelines.

When the inspection lasted for a quarter of an hour, a group of people gathered around a stone box in the northwest corner and talked about each other, which seemed to be out of proportion.

"What's going on?" Tangning clearly heard their conversation, and asked.

"Uncle, some Ziyan fruits were dropped." Yan Ming replied.

Tang Ning frowned, and separated the crowd, and saw that the wooden boxes were neatly arranged in the stone box. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but the wooden boxes that were opened contained ordinary fruits.

Of course, this was not his instruction. Obviously, someone saw Cai's motive and secretly moved his hands and feet to steal the money.

Under normal circumstances, the inspectors of the brigade only check the quantity once, and then randomly check a few of each stone box, and will not open all of them for inspection.

Each stone box here is filled with thousands of pearls of medicinal herbs. If only a few dozen or so are replaced, the probability of being discovered is very small. It is estimated that someone took advantage of this, so secretly replaced the purple smoke fruit in the wooden box, Unexpectedly, it happened to be discovered during a spot check.

Seeing this, Tang Ning's face darkened. He had just officially assumed office, and this happened the first time he handed over supplies, which made him angry.

"Junior Brother Tang, this kind of thing has never happened before!" Yu Qingxiao walked over and said with deep meaning.

Tangning felt more and more angry, and forced a smile on her face, "Please give me some time, Senior Brother Yu, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Let's find out how many herbs have been dropped!"

"Okay." Tangning responded, then turned to Yan Ming and said, "Open all the stone boxes and check the contents one by one, carefully checking how many elixirs have been dropped."

"Yes." Yan Ming replied, and organized everyone to check the wooden boxes in the stone box one by one.

After working for half a day, ten stone boxes and ten thousand wooden boxes inside were all opened and inspected, and it was found that a total of two hundred and fifty purple smoke fruits were missing.

Tangning originally thought that someone secretly exchanged a few beads or a dozen or so beads for a quick profit, but she didn't expect to be so courageous and secretly exchanged so many beads.

Obviously, someone deceived him to be so bold as a newcomer. No one dared to do such a thing when Jiang Xinquan was in office.

He was so angry that his face sank like water.

"Go and get two hundred and fifty purple smoke fruit to make up for it," Tangning ordered in a low voice.

"Yes." Yan Ming took the order and left.

The medicinal herbs harvested at Fengyan Mountain and Xuangan Valley, besides the [-] pearls that were handed over to the sect, there are still [-] pearls remaining, which are going to be sold privately to Xie Xuan's alchemy room. In other places.

"Junior Brother Tang, let's go outside and chat." Yu Qingxiao said.

Tangning responded, and the two left the palace.

"Senior brother Yu, I'm really sorry, I really don't know about this matter at all, I will definitely investigate this matter strictly and give an explanation to the brigade."

Yu Qingxiao said: "Of course I believe you. How much is a mere two hundred and fifty pearls of Ziyan fruit worth? No matter how shallow your eyelids and short-minded your ambition is, Junior Brother Tang, you won't get confused on this kind of issue."

"I called you out because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. You have been in the headquarters team before, and you have no experience in local governance. You don't know the specific situation of the team below."

"The team stationed in this place is not as good as the alliance team. The local teams are mixed, and most of them are recruited monks. Their cultivation levels are uneven, and people's hearts are erratic."

"As the master, if you want to manage the team well, you must be able to restrain them, and make them respect and fear you."

"If there is no certain method of thunderbolt, this kind of thing will not be the last time. Brother Jiang has been in the fifth team for so many years, why hasn't this kind of thing happened? It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare, because everyone is afraid of him, you understand ?"

"Yes." Tangning nodded, "I know what to do."

"Fortunately, we found out this time. If you are sent to the brigade for further investigation, you will not be able to speak clearly even if you have ten mouths. There is no guarantee that no one will gossip or even make trouble. You are still acting as the captain and doing things. Be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Yu, for reminding me. I assure you and the brigade that such a thing will never happen again."

"That's good."

While the two were talking, Yan Ming's light came from afar.

The three of them went into the inner room together, and after putting the [-] purple smoke fruits back into the stone box, Yu Qingxiao sent someone to check the progress of the spirit mine mining area, but did not check other aspects, and the mysterious spirit ship carried He drove away from the formation with a lot of supplies.
