When I was a Taoist

Chapter 712 A chess piece

"you are lying!"

The chairman's words made my cold sweat flow out all of a sudden.I smiled guiltyly and said, "President, this is just my guess. If I'm wrong, I hope you don't blame me."

The president shook his head, and added: "What I mean is, you didn't tell me your true thoughts. Don't think that you can hide it from me. Any small thoughts of yours can't fool me. Don't worry. , there is only me and you, no matter what you say today, no one else will know. Tell me your thoughts boldly, even if it is ridiculous, I will not blame you."

Hearing what he said, I decided to go all out, and boldly said: "President, I think the disappearance of Senior Wang Tian and Senior Shangguan is very strange. There is no news about us being imprisoned in Lihuo Ghost Emperor." I know, but Senior Wang Tian disappeared as soon as he returned to the West City Branch. Even if Tian Ching had a chance to act quickly, it would not be so fast. Moreover, with the strength of Senior Wang Tian, ​​it is impossible to be subdued so easily, so I guess there is a traitor, That’s why he fell into the trap. Not to mention senior Shangguan, he handed over the position of punishment elder to me who just entered the headquarters, which means that only I can make him trust the most, and there must be traitors here!”

"Good! As expected of Shangguanmu's valued person, he really did not make a mistake!"

After hearing this, the president not only didn't get angry, but looked very excited. He nodded and said, "You're right. In fact, I also vaguely discovered this matter, but I haven't dared to confirm it. I guess they must have some kind of conspiracy , If I investigate in person, I will definitely scare the snake, so I can only send someone to investigate secretly. Originally, Shangguanmu was the most suitable candidate, but now he is also missing, and only you are the most suitable candidate."

I was stunned. I didn't expect that the president would hand over such a difficult burden to me when we met for the first time, which made me a little flattered.However, the chairman changed the subject and added: "But this does not mean that I completely trust you, and I will see your every move. I hope you will not disappoint me and Shangguanmu, and complete the punishment with due diligence duty of elders."

"Don't worry, president, I will never let you down!" I nodded emphatically. With the support of the president, I can finally start investigating the disappearance of Wang Tian and Shangguanmu!Even if Elder Hei still had the intention of obstructing him, he probably wouldn't dare to really do it.

"Don't be too happy, there is one more thing I haven't told you."

The president waved his hand and said: "Some time ago, the Nancheng branch had a fork, and members kept disappearing strangely. The presidents of the Nancheng branch, Zhou Jun and Wang Tian, ​​are brothers who worshiped. I am afraid that this strange thing that happened in Nancheng and Wang Tian You have a connection with the disappearance, you should set off immediately to find out. You now have the power to punish the elders, and Elder Qingquan will tell you what to do."

As soon as I heard that this matter was related to Senior Wuyou, I nodded immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Understood, we will go there now, and we must find out the truth of this matter!"

After leaving the president's bamboo building, when we walked out of the bamboo forest, I realized that Elder Qingquan's complexion has not been very good.But Elder Qingquan didn't tell me anything, he just took me to Shangguanmu's study, and said: "From now on, this will be your territory, and now I have to tell you what kind of position Elder Punishment occupies. Daohui Dao According to the rules of the association, anyone who breaks the rules must be punished. This is the first responsibility of punishing the elders. And you have to remember that your status is only below the chairman, and it is not much inferior to Elder Hei. Simple To put it bluntly, Elder Hei is in charge of outsiders, and Elder Punishment is in charge of insiders. In some matters, your power is much greater than him. "

I nodded, and asked again: "Senior Qingquan, I found that you didn't say a word from the beginning to the time you left the bamboo building, and your expression was a little strange, did something happen again?"

Elder Qingquan showed a hesitant expression on his face, and finally asked: "Do you think you should completely trust the president?"

Elder Qingquan's words directly confused me, is he doubting the president now?But soon he smiled and said: "I don't mean to make you doubt the president, but to tell you one thing. Now that so many accidents have happened, few people in the entire Taoist society can believe it." The only ones you can trust are your two brothers and yourself. As for why, I can’t tell you now, but you will understand when you investigate.”

After finishing speaking, Elder Qingquan waved his hand, turned and left the study.The three of us were silent for a long time before I asked Fanchen and the others: "What do you two think about today's incident?"

"I think the president's actions are a bit too cruel, although he relieved his anger. I had a good impression of him at first, but now I feel that he is a bit cold-blooded and not as good as I imagined." Fan Chen said.

Erha was silent for a moment, then said solemnly: "Fan Chen is right, the president is doing this to maintain your majesty on the surface, but in fact he is provoking a battle between you and Elder Hei, making you become a There will never be a reconciliation. To put it lightly, this is to protect his position. If it is serious, I always feel that he has other plans. Anyway, what Elder Qingquan just reminded you is wrong No, except for the three of us, no one else can believe it!"

Erha's intuition has always been accurate, and now that I think about it carefully, I also discovered the clues.If it was just because Shangguanmu recommended me that he valued me so much and entrusted me with the burden of investigating the traitor, then it would be too perfunctory for the chairman to be the president.

"The Daoist Association is really deep, no wonder Master always refused to allow me to enter the headquarters before." I sighed, I used to have Shangguanmu and Elder Qingquan protecting me, but now I have to support the stage alone.

At this time, Erha suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "By the way, I found out something on the way here. Do you know who the unlucky guy today is? He is the son of Elder Hei and the only one." Dumiao! Elder Hei regarded him as his precious lump, pushed him to be the president of the Xicheng branch and let him take over the branches, but unexpectedly, he was completely planted here and turned into a useless person! I think, The president must know about their relationship!"

After hearing Erha's words, I just felt cold all over, and only then realized that I fell into a trap that was prepared for me a long time ago.And not only I was the prey, even Elder Hei didn't expect that he and his son might also be a pawn.
