Chapter 1180 Golden Soup
Yuanxian County, Nether Sea Organization Branch, in the majestic hall, in the dark room, a man curled up in a corner with a listless look, looking very tired.
The stone door outside the house opened, and several men and women filed in. The leader of the group, with a fair complexion and a prominent red birthmark between his eyebrows, was Xu Wenruo, the chief inspector of the Nether Sea branch in Yuanxian County.
Several people sat down one by one, Xu Wenruo said with a smile: "Peng Yuanzhi, we have made a very clear investigation into your abuse of private power and embezzlement of public funds. We need you to tell the truth. Who else is behind you? The rules of this department are strict.
It should be very clear. If you tell the truth, your sins can be alleviated."
Peng Yuanzhi raised his head and glanced at a few people timidly, then quickly lowered his head, almost burying his head in his neck, hiding like an ostrich.
A burly man below slammed the desk and said, "Peng Yuanzhi, look at where this place is. If you don't tell the truth when you get here, do you really want us to take action?"
"We will not accuse any good person unjustly. There must be conclusive evidence to invite you here. Since you are still hoping for luck, then okay! Take a look at these things." Xu Wenruo handed him a stack of files.
Peng Yuanzhi took the file and started flipping through it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. His breathing gradually became rapid, and by the end, he was covered in cold sweat on his forehead.
"A long time ago, someone anonymously reported to us your embezzlement of public funds. It was just because the war was approaching and we considered the overall situation and did not conduct an in-depth investigation. When we returned to Xuantang City this time, I didn't expect that you would intensify your behavior and become more and more unscrupulous.
"
"Peng Yuanzhi, the organization treats you well! You were originally from a low-level casual cultivator. You were persecuted by aristocratic families and were humiliated and imprisoned by them. The organization used its connections to rescue you, but you were greedy for profit and took bribes.
Under your rule, Yixinting was reduced to a state of chaos."
"Here are the signatures and signatures of your subordinates, the signatures and signatures of relevant members of the Chamber of Commerce, and all the relevant witnesses and evidence. Do you still think you can get away with it?"
"Two and a half percent profit."
He immediately got up and went to another room. In the spacious and bright room, Jintang was lying on the stone bed, looking around blankly.
"If this is really the case, then the problem is very serious. They are so aggressive and kill people and silence them, which shows that the problem is more serious than we thought."
The two looked at each other, Tang Ning walked towards him step by step, and Jin Tang slowly stood up.
"So I say this is definitely not a coincidence. We secretly arrested Peng Yuanzhi when he was out. They found out the news so quickly. The people behind it are very powerful. Someone within us must have leaked the information."
"Wei Ting is missing." Xu Wenruo said calmly.
…
"Wei Ting is just a trade manager in the Xuantang City branch. He has such great ability to get those high-level herbs? And we have never received any clues about Wei Ting, even if he got them from nowhere.
Having acquired so many high-level medicinal herbs, it is not easy to give them to Peng Yuanzhi quietly and unnoticed. They have conducted so many transactions over the years and no one noticed? I think there must be something more behind him.
Someone with high authority will cover him."
"Where's Wei Ting?"
He opened his eyes from the trance, took back all the radiated consciousness, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the stone door opened. A man with a broad mouth came in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master,
Jintang has just woken up, and my disciple came here to report it."
Tang Ning formed a complex seal with his hands, and the light flowed between his palms, gradually surrounding himself. He placed his palms on Jintang's chest, and the dazzling light enveloped both of them.
Yuanxian County, Nether Sea Branch, two people sat facing each other in a dark room.
"I just received the news that the Xuantang City branch has reported Wei Ting's disappearance to the headquarters."
"You know the discipline of the organization very well. The crimes you committed are simply unforgivable. We can convict you directly."
In a blink of an eye, several months passed by in the blink of an eye. After several months of cultivation, Tangning's mental state was finally much better than before, and she was able to practice the Fugue Art again.
"Wei Ting? Is there anyone else?"
"May 12th?" The man frowned: "We arrested Peng Yuanzhi on May 10th. He disappeared on May 12th, so fast."
"What? He is missing?" The man opposite was shocked.
"We have been secretly investigating you for so long. We know very well who you usually interact with and who you meet and talk to the most. Even if you don't tell us, we can roughly guess who it is. Now we are just giving you a chance to let you know who it is.
Just tell him so that you can alleviate your own guilt."
"But we know that you are not the person behind the scenes. You cannot do these things with your ability and the resources you control. You are just a middleman. There must be someone behind you. If you can take the initiative to tell this person, your conviction will be
It will be much lighter.”
"I have no idea."
"How could it be such a coincidence? As soon as we got Wei Ting's testimony from Peng Yuanzhi, the Xuantang City branch sent us news of his disappearance."
"I am you." Jintang said suddenly.
"With Peng Yuanzhi's evidence, we can arrest Wei Ting directly. I propose to send people to Xuantang City to arrest Wei Ting immediately." One person said.
Until the light disappeared, the two people could not stand more than three feet apart from each other.
As soon as Xu Wenruo finished speaking, a person below slapped the table and shouted: "If we don't call you here quickly, do you really think there is nothing we can do against you? Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, if you are stubborn, don't blame us for searching your soul."
"I only contact Wei Ting. I don't know if there is anyone above him. This kind of thing is a one-way contact. Whether it is shipping or collecting money, Wei Ting is the one who comes forward. He never says where the goods come from. I never say
ask."
"Recently, the atmosphere in our headquarters has been a little too loose. Especially after returning to Yuanxian County and occupying so many precious places, many people are ready to make moves. I have heard a lot of discussions about what to do on the battlefield.
We have fought bloody battles to gain these territories, and now we should enjoy the results. The headquarters set up supervisory positions and sent us here to curb this unhealthy trend. If we do not strictly deal with a few corrupt elements, we will not be able to suppress it.
This is the trend."
"No matter what? Let's arrest Wei Ting first."
"How much do you get from each shipment?"
Fortunately, the Soul Splitting Technique was successfully used and the golden soup was taken away. It can be regarded as a gain and a loss!
On this day, while he was exercising his consciousness with the Fugue Jue technique inside his house, there was a knock on the door outside.
What he has to do now is to rebuild the split and wasted consciousness. This is not an easy task, it can take dozens or even hundreds of years at least.
………
"What do you mean, fellow Taoist Xu, that Wei Ting was killed and silenced on May 12th?"
"Such a large amount of high-end medicinal herbs have been sold at low prices for so many years. How much you can get, I'm afraid it won't be more than 20% at most! We have checked all your assets, including the spiritual stones you have in the Chamber of Commerce. Even if you add
Your expenses over the years are far from enough to sell the elixir."
"Of course this is not a coincidence. The headquarters received the news of Wei Ting's disappearance yesterday. The news was sent from Xuantang City a month ago. I have read the file sent by the Xuantang City branch. Wei Ting appeared last
The time at the Xuantang City branch was May 12th, which was forty-four days ago. It was ten days before the Xuantang City branch sent the news of his disappearance."
…
"Are you really willing to take the blame for the person behind the scenes? Let him live happily and bear everything yourself?"
This man's surname was Deng Mingguan, and he was one of Tang Ning's three disciples. Hearing this, he was overjoyed that his second Nascent Soul had finally awakened.
Seeing Tangning enter, his blank eyes suddenly became focused.
"Yes, you are me."
Everyone interrogated him in every detail for about half an hour, and then filed out of the room.
"Is there any other possibility?"
Jintang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and memories flooded into his mind like a flood. At this moment, Tangning completely awakened the second Nascent Soul.
When Peng Yuanzhi heard this, he was frightened and his body trembled obviously: "I said, I said, these herbs were given to me by Wei Ting."
Tang Ning nodded in response. There was no need to say anything more at this time.
"I understand. I will personally take people to Xuantang City to strictly investigate their finances. Since they dare to kill people and silence them, the matter must be very serious. If the matter is big, it is impossible to leak everything. No matter how clean the accounts are, there will be traces of them.
Leave clues."
"Okay, you lead an inspection team to Xuantang City, and on the pretext of investigating Peng Yuanzhi's corruption and reselling of elixirs, strictly investigate their finances, and continue to investigate along Peng Yuanzhi's line. I will secretly dispatch another group of members
To help you, I suspect that the people behind Xuantang City may not only resell elixirs, but may also have other corruption matters. They are responsible for investigating other people. You are both overt and covert. You are the only one behind this undercover investigation team.
do not tell anyone."
"I see."
"Be careful of those who leak information within us. The news of Peng Yuanzhi's arrest was known to them so quickly. If there is an insider, I will not send the people who participated in Peng Yuanzhi's investigation team to go with you. I will choose another group of people to go with you.
.Besides, you have to be very careful. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, there is no guarantee that they will not plot an assassination."
