Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 933 Departure
Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountain Range, in a slightly dim room, Fang Dasheng, Hao Jianren, and Sima Nianzu sat facing each other.

It was time for the alliance meeting again. Sima Nianzu methodically explained the matters that the alliance needs to deal with in the near future. Fang Dasheng and Hao Jianren nodded and shook their heads from time to time. The three exchanged opinions in a peaceful atmosphere.

About half an hour later, Sima Nianzu flipped through his hands and took out a stack of files: "This is the investigation report submitted by the joint review team on the murder of Lin Quan by Tang Ning, the acting captain of the fifth team of the first brigade."

"The re-examination team obtained the confessions and affidavits of all the parties involved, and made a final conclusion. Lin Quan was indeed the main criminal who stole the elixir. He bribed the other six colleagues with bribes and threats, and stole the [-] beads handed over to the sect. Ziyanguo, because he was worried about being implicated, gave false testimony during the investigation of the first brigade."

"And when Tangning killed Lin Quan, he didn't know that he was the one who stole the elixir. He just killed him out of impulse and anger."

Fang Dasheng took the file and flipped through it for a while before handing it to Hao Jianren: "Now that the truth has come out and the truth is out, I think the case can be settled. Tangning executed his team recruiting disciples privately. Although it violated the sect's regulations, there was a reason for it. To deal with it lightly, I intend to fine her for three years and confine her for three months as a punishment."

Hao Jianren frowned and said, "Isn't this punishment too light? Tangning committed the crime of murdering his colleagues. The first commandment of the sect is not to kill each other. If you are a disciple of the sect, don't say that you will kill someone. Even if they fight in private, they have to be dismissed and sentenced to prison. Although Lin Quan is not an official disciple of the sect, he is also a monk who works for the sect. He is a colleague. Tangning blatantly killed a colleague. Such a small punishment may chill the hearts of everyone and make it even more difficult to accept. public."

Fang Dasheng said: "Junior Brother Hao, have you said that! Lin Quan's theft of the sect's supplies is a capital crime. Although Tang Ning was at fault, he was only punishing a person who broke the law. As the captain of the team, he is in charge of the affairs of the Jingyuanting area. , I already have the right to make decisions on the fly, isn’t the punishment of three years’ salary and three months’ confinement not enough?”

Hao Jianren said, "These are two different things. Lin Quan's punishment depends on the sect's own laws and regulations. Even if it's a death penalty, it's not Tangning's turn to deal with it. As for Brother Fang's discretionary power, that depends on the situation."

"In an emergency, he may be arbitrary, but it is clear that it was not a specific emergency when he killed Lin Quan."

"Although Lin Quan was the one who stole the elixir, Tang Ning's public murder of Lin Quan is two separate crimes. Even if there is a causal relationship, it cannot be an excuse for him to kill his colleagues privately. I think he will be fined for three years and confinement for three months." It’s too light, at least it’s reasonable to remove him from the position of team leader.”

Fang Dasheng said: "Then let's put this topic on hold and make a decision at the next meeting. Brother Sima, let's talk about the next topic!"

"The formation of the Yaoyuan Mountain Spirit Mine stationed by the fourth brigade has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is a small problem. We apply for [-] million spirit stones to repair it." Sima Nianzu said.

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

A ray of light shot towards the Pingling Mountain Spirit Mine, and a burly man appeared. With a wave of his hand, the talisman was passed into the room.

The man was none other than Gao Yuan, a disciple of Yizong who had left the Jiang family and was planning to join Tangning.

After a group of several people rushed to Xuantang City, they first settled down in the inn in Lishi. After some discussion, the four of them were abrupt, and originally planned to send Gao Yuan to inquire about the news first, and meet with Emperor Taixuanzong in Xuantangcheng office. After meeting Tangning, we can make plans based on her attitude.

Gao Yuan followed the plan, and just after he left the inn, he met a man dressed in Taixuanzong's costume passing by, so he stepped forward to inquire about Tang Ning's whereabouts. Tell the truth.

After the four of them heard the news, they were both surprised and delighted. They were a little worried that Tang Ning's words would not be able to provide them with shelter. They didn't expect that Tang Ning had already started to rule, which meant that he had gained a firm foothold in Taixuanzong. heel.

Then the four of them rushed to the Jingyuan Pavilion without stopping, and the three of them rested in the pavilion city. Gao Principle came to see him first.

After waiting for a long time, a gap appeared in the light curtain in front of him, and a figure flashed inside, Jishou said: "Who is the senior? What's the matter here?"

"My surname is Gao Mingyuan. I am an old acquaintance of senior Tang Ning, the head of your department. I am here to ask to see you. Please let me know."

The man looked him up and said, "Senior came here by accident. Senior Tang has been detained for interrogation because he violated the regulations."

"What?" Gao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Dare to ask you, when did this happen?"

"Senior Tang has been detained in the brigade, and it has been half a month now."

"I don't know what crime he committed? Can you tell me?"

"It is inconvenient for us to disclose this matter. Senior, if there is no future, please go back!" The man turned and left.

"Wait." Gao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, took out five high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, handed them to him, and said, "To be honest, I came all the way from Tianquan County to visit Senior Tang. , I implore fellow Taoists to tell you, what exactly did Senior Tang commit?"

The man thought for a while, then took the spirit stone in his hand and said, "Senior Tang was detained by the brigade for killing Lin Quan, a monk from our headquarters."

"What are the consequences?"

"This is beyond the knowledge of the younger generation. The case has not been officially finalized yet, and the results of the treatment have not been reported. Since the senior came from a long way, you might as well wait a few more days. This matter will not drag on for too long. This is what the junior said. Farewell." The man said and returned to the formation.

Gao Yuanzheng stayed where he was for a while, then disappeared.

Inside the room, Chen Xiaofan, Zhang Yao, and Yan Qing were anxiously waiting for the news.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Yan Qing quickly got up and opened the room, and couldn't wait to ask: "Senior brother Gao, how is it? You can see Uncle Tang, what did he say?"

Gao Yuan said nothing, and walked in with a sullen face.

Seeing his appearance, the three couldn't help looking at each other, Chen Xiaofan asked in a deep voice: "Junior brother Gao, what's the matter? Could it be that things are not going well, did we not see Master Tang, or is he refusing to take us in?"

Gao Yuan sat down straight, shook his head, and sighed: "We came here by accident, Master Tang has been arrested for committing crimes."

"What?" Hearing this, the expressions of the three of them changed: "What's going on?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I only heard that he was detained and arrested by Taixuanzong for committing the crime of killing his monks."

Several people looked at each other, the room fell into a brief silence, Gao Yuan was downcast, Zhang Yao frowned, Yan Qing hammered the stone table heavily, making a loud bang.

Chen Xiaofan's eyes were deep, thoughtful, and asked for a while: "Junior Brother Gao, who are you listening to?"

"I went to the Emperor Taixuanzong's office in Jingyuanting to pay a visit to Uncle Tang. While waiting outside the formation, a foundation cultivator came out from the inside. It should be the monk they recruited, and he told me."

Yan Qing frowned and said, "Is it possible that Uncle Tang didn't want to see us, so he just found someone to prevaricate?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Based on what I know about Master Tang, he is not such a person, don't forget, when he left Donglai County to go to Qinghai to fight against Mubei monsters, he also handed over all the sect materials to Master Jiang. "

"And that Foundation Establishment cultivator is very secretive about this matter. He is very taboo and does not seem to be fake. No matter how I ask him, he will not reveal a word."

"Besides, if Master Tang wants to prevaricate us, isn't that easy? Why use such a method?"

Chen Xiaofan pondered: "I don't doubt that Master Tang is prevaricating us on purpose, Senior Brother Gao, did that person say that Master Tang was convicted and sentenced to punishment?"

"No, he was willing to tell the truth only after I asked repeatedly and bribed five high-grade spirit stones. At present, Master Tang's case has not been finalized, and the punishment result has not yet been announced."

"That is to say, there is still something to do, and we have to do something."

Yan Qing frowned and said: "What to do? How to do it? How can we intervene in Taixuanzong's internal affairs? And Master Tang was detained and arrested for killing his monks. We all know the seriousness of this crime. If it weren't for The evidence is solid, I don't think they will arrest people rashly."

Chen Xiaofan said: "We have no other choice. Since we are here, we must fight for it. Besides, we have already exhausted our spirit stones. Where else can we go besides going to Master Tang?"

Gao Yuan said: "I agree with Senior Brother Chen's words, we have no other way out except to go to Martial Uncle Tang. If we go to a small local family or a chamber of commerce, and are oppressed by them, it's better to be a casual cultivator, Junior Brother Yan, Difficulty, are you willing to go back to the days of Huanyuan Pavilion?"

Yan Qing said: "Of course I know that going to Uncle Tang is the best choice, otherwise why would we come here with all our money and money, but the problem now is that he can't protect himself, how can he protect us. "

Chen Xiaofan said, "So we need to do something."

"That's the problem. What can we do? He is Taixuanzong, and he was arrested and detained as Master Tang. What else can we do? We can't rob the prison car!"

"It's not about what to do, it's about doing something."

"What is the meaning of Senior Brother Chen's words?"

Chen Xiaofan said: "We came here to seek refuge with Uncle Tang, if he needs help, maybe he can still use us."

"If we don't need manpower, we will have nothing to do and nothing to use. Even if we are taken in, it will be no more than a rich family adopting a few poor relatives from afar. It is impossible to be valued."

"Uncle Tang is now in a difficult situation. It may not be an opportunity for us. If we can play a certain role in his crisis, then he will definitely regard us as his right-hand man when he recovers from his difficulties."

"So we need to do something, even if it doesn't have much effect, we must do it. This is an attitude, so that Master Tang can see our sincerity."

Gao Yuan said: "Brother Chen's words are reasonable, but where should we start?"

"Do you still remember the last time when I met Tang Shishu in Donglai County, he said that his disciple Gu Yuanya is now also working in Fengshui Pavilion under Taixuanzong's residence in Xuantang City. She and I were both inspectors back then. Although the disciples are not very familiar with each other, we finally know each other, we can get in touch with Master Tang through her, and see if there is anything we can contribute to."

Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. Gu Yuanya must be burning with anxiety when something like this happened to Mr. Tang. Let's go to assist her now and give her advice. It can be said to be a timely help."

"It's not too late, let's set off now."
