"What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?" Dong Qingyuan said

"Senior Brother Peng and I have similar thoughts. If we want to prove that what Jiang Fan said is false, there must be substantial evidence, but it seems inappropriate to close the case at this point. Should we at least investigate the truth of what he stated? For example, he said

I met Senior Brother Ye Xiu in Ding 684. You can check whether Senior Brother Ye Xiu has entered or left the sect. This is easy to find out. The Hushan Department has records. If he left the sect, where did he go? You can check Senior Brother Ye Xiu’s wife.

The woman came and asked."

He Xun said: "In view of the absurdity of this man's words and the confusion of what he said, I propose that he be tortured and interrogated."

Dong Qingyuan frowned slightly and said: "I think today's interrogation will end here! I will ask the boss for instructions and report on the content of today's interrogation. As for whether to use torture for interrogation or to conclude the case, it will be decided by the boss tomorrow.

Let's come back in the morning, and I will announce the master's decree. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, since everyone has different opinions on the results of today's interrogation, let's each submit a dossier and I will hand it to the head together." Dong Qingyuan said, slightly motioning to the two disciples, and two of them immediately took out several blank dossiers and handed them over.

Go to each person's case.

Tang Ning wrote down her suggestions, signed them, handed them to Dong Qingyuan and left the torture hall.

In the Zhongzhi Peak Cave Mansion, the two people sat opposite each other. Lu Xingxian took out a file and handed it to Lu Guang: "This is the content of today's interrogation. Take a look."

Lu Guang took over and looked at it, frowning slightly and said: "Will the leader agree to torture and interrogation? If torture instruments are really used, I'm worried that Jiang Fan may not be able to resist."

"Junior Brother Dong should be able to help with the conversation, but just in case, I have sent someone to send a message to Jiang Fan. If he really wants to be tortured, I will fight to the death, otherwise we will no longer protect him if the word gets out of hand. You

Let’s leave tomorrow! If something unexpected happens after leaving the sect, there will still be buffer time.”

Lu Guang nodded: "What does Junior Brother Tang mean when he says there is still an investigation? Haven't you already negotiated? Is he going to do anything behind his back?"

Lu Xingxian snorted coldly: "I'm afraid he doesn't dare. Jiang Fan's adaptability is too poor. Fortunately, he has been working as a clerk in the intelligence station for so many years. When He Xunyi pressed him, he gave a messy answer. Even Junior Brother Dong didn't know.

It's good for him to speak. But Junior Brother Peng Yan, judging from his attitude today, he doesn't seem to want to delve deeper. The person who untie the bell must tie the bell. I think we might as well explore his tone? If he can turn to us, He Xun

No matter how hard you bite, you won't be able to make any waves."

"Then shall I go now?"

"Don't worry." Lu Xingxian said: "Let Junior Brother Chen go! Let's see his reaction first. If he wants to reconcile, let Junior Sister Zhou go and talk to him. It's better to reconcile enemies than to end them. Tell her, this

It’s time to stop worrying about the trivial matters of the past.”

On the second day, several people came to the interrogation hall of the town headquarters and took their seats. Dong Qingyuan said: "Yesterday, I asked the leader for instructions and got a reply. The matter must be investigated carefully and try not to use torture instruments."

He Xun frowned slightly. The master's words were the same as those he had not said. The autonomy was completely given to the interrogating disciples. Judging from the situation yesterday, it was impossible for him to use torture instruments for interrogation.

"Our main investigation targets today are the disciples within the sect who are related to this matter. To see if there are any omissions, we can ask Jiang Xun to confront them face to face." Dong Qingyuan said: "You take the seal and clauses from the town government department and go to this matter.

Disciples who are related to the matter are invited to come and ask questions."

"Yes." The following disciples responded and left the hall. Not long after, two disciples came with two women. One of them looked to be in her thirties, beautiful and dignified, and the other was in her prime and graceful.

The two disciples said: "Jiang Wan, the widow of Master Uncle Ye Xiu, was brought here by Ye Liushuang."

Jiang Wan and Ye Liushuang both bowed.

"I invite you two here for no other reason. There is an incident involving Junior Brother Ye, so I invite you two to provide circumstantial evidence." Dong Qingyuan said: "There is a case in the town government department now, involving the Intelligence Department, and the accused disciple Jiang

Fan secretly investigated and monitored Junior Brother Peng Yan, and claimed that he was ordered by Junior Brother Ye, do we two know about this?"

"We don't know." Jiang Wan replied.

He Xun asked: "Junior brother Ye left the sect in 1684. Do you know where he went?"

The two shook their heads: "I don't know."

"Have Junior Brother Ye ever said anything about the South China Intelligence Station?"

No matter how He Xun tried to induce him to ask, both of them were confused. He Xun had no choice but to give up. Dong Qingyuan waved his hand and let the two of them leave.

After that, many disciples were summoned, including those from the Information Department, Communications Department, Mountain Protection Department, and many other disciples related to the case.

Until the sun was setting in the west, the disciples related to it all sent in inquiries, but there was no new progress.

Dong Qingyuan then said: "That's it for today! I propose to convict the disciples of the South China Intelligence Station now. Do you have any objections?"

He Xundao: "There are still many doubts about this case. I think it is too early to conclude the case and convict."

"What doubts are there? Jiang Xun confessed to the matter, and there are no witnesses or material evidence. The doubts mentioned by Senior Brother He are just that he suspects that the person behind the instigation is not Senior Brother Ye Xiu, but someone else, but there is no evidence to prove that Jiang Xun

What he said is false, today's interrogation also confirmed what he said yesterday, Senior Brother Ye Xiu indeed made a trip to the sect in July 1684."

"I thought about it all night after I returned to the cave yesterday, and I think this matter is reasonable. Brother Ye Xiu is in charge of the specific matters of the Intelligence Department, and he is Jiang Xun's immediate superior. How dare Jiang Xun disobey him? How dare he ask more questions? As for the two of them having been together for four years

We just met once, and I thought about it carefully and it’s possible.”

"You don't know, there was a rift between me and Senior Brother Ye Xiu in the early years, and he probably did something stupid because of it. In fact, he may not have paid much attention to the matter, but just gave an order, which happened to be within the scope of his authority.

If evidence of my illegality can be found, it will be reported to the sect and my reputation will be ruined. It doesn't matter if no evidence is found. I think the case can be closed and convicted." Peng Yan suddenly said.

Several people were shocked. Yesterday, he acted like he was just a bystander. They never thought that his attitude would change so much today. With his remarks, he refuted all the doubts that He Xun had before, and even more so, he wanted to explain this matter.

The coffin is sealed.

Several people couldn't help but squint at him, only to see that his eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart, standing still and looking as usual.

"It turns out that there is still such a feud between Junior Brother Peng and Junior Brother Ye. Then everything is logical and there is no doubt about it! I agree with Junior Brother Dong's proposal and can convict all the disciples in the intelligence station." Gao Maolin said immediately.

"What's Junior Brother Tang's opinion?" Dong Qingyuan asked

"I agree."

"Now the four of us have agreed to convict Jiang Fan and a group of his disciples. Junior Brother He, after listening to what Junior Brother Peng just said, do you still have any doubts? Or do you still insist on continuing the investigation?"

He Xun shook his head: "No more, I agree to close the case and convict you."

Peng Yan, as the person involved, has said this. No matter how reasonable he is in doubting it, even if he says it all, it will be of no use.

"Well, since we agree, I will write a file and report to the leader. Jiang Fan took advantage of his position to investigate and monitor Peng Yan, the chief of South China, which violated the sect's regulations and was of a bad nature. And he committed the following crimes, which are deceiving the master.

, but in view of the fact that he was ordered to do so by someone else, and there were no serious consequences, and he has a good attitude towards pleading guilty, I propose that he be whipped for thirty years and be imprisoned in Wujian Cliff for fifty years. What do you think, junior fellow apprentices?"

Several people nodded in agreement, and He Xun did not object. With his status, he would not argue with a Qi Refining disciple. His purpose was to dig deeper into the person behind it. Now that the matter was determined, the rest of the matter could not be solved.

It has nothing to do with him. No one cares about how a Qi Refining disciple is dealt with whether he is dead or alive.

The thirty whippings Dong Qingyuan mentioned were referring to the bone-eating whip specially made by the Zhenfu Department. This whip was used on the human body, directly attacking the meridians and bones in the body, like ants chewing bones, causing abnormal pain.

Wujianya is the prison of the Zhenfu Department. It is completely isolated from the outside world. There is no aura of heaven and earth. It is dark and damp all day long. The monks cannot get the sustenance of aura inside, and life is worse than death.

"As for the accomplices, they will all be detained for three years as a warning to others." Dong Qingyuan continued.

No one raised any objections.

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Ke Ye of our department died in the battle of Xuanyue Mountain half a year ago, and he died fighting loyally for the sect. Although he made a small mistake and was confused for a while, he did not lose the major principles. For the sake of the deceased, I

Please handle it as appropriate. When the case is reported to all palaces, courts and even the intelligence department, the section about Senior Brother Ye can be hidden to avoid being stained after his death. After all, Senior Brother Ye has a wife and daughter, and they are both in the sect.

Holding office also prevents them from being criticized."

"Junior Brother Tang's proposal is very thoughtful. I agree. What do you guys think?" Gao Maolin said immediately.

Several people agreed.

Dong Qingyuan wrote the handling opinions into the file, and several people signed and adjourned it before leaving the torture hall and returning to the cave.

Within a few days, the case was reported to the Intelligence Division. The boss approved the verdict of the joint trial and agreed to Tang Ning's proposal. The section about Ye Xiu's appointment of Jiang Xun was omitted from the report. Lu Xingxian asked in the meeting hall to report the matter.

Inform the general department and all information stations outside the sect to serve as a warning to others.

Tang Ning was not idle either. He distributed the words from Lu Xingxian's meeting hall and the case files to various intelligence stations outside the sect. A few days later, Lu Guang returned to the sect and selected a few disciples from each team to go to South China for intelligence.

When I took up my post, the whole thing ended.

Time flies, and a month has passed. On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the cave. Suddenly, his waist shook. He took out his storage bag and took a look. It was not the formation disk shaking, but the abnormal movement caused by the spirit beast bag. Could it be
