Tang Ning put the file away: "I understand, please give him a reply! There is no problem with the sect's spiritual stone subsidy. Ask him not to slack off and report the news at any time."

"Yes." Xu Wenze responded: "Uncle Tang, I heard that the sect's funds will be further reduced. Is this true?"

"It will definitely not happen in the next few years, and it is hard to say in the future. Especially for those departments that have not completed the tasks assigned by the sect, funding must be reduced. So you must pay attention. The Intelligence Department has the most funding in the Secret Academy.

The department is also one of the best in terms of number of people. If you can't complete the task, I can't speak for you."

"Junior Brother Xu Qiyuan has been fully responsible for this matter. He is also learning alchemy skills. Currently, there are twelve disciples in our department who have passed the elimination screening and are being trained and taught. I often ask about their progress and want to complete the sect's tasks.

It’s not a big problem.”

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Wen left.

…………………………………………………………………………

In the splendid attic of Wu State, the music of silk and bamboo orchestras was endless, and several graceful women danced with their soft waists.

On the desks on the left and right sides, a tall man and a bearded man sat opposite each other. They were smiling, shaking their wine glasses, eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be intoxicated. The two of them were Qian Yizong.

Xu Yuan, the head of the Nighthawk Intelligence Station, and Wang Wenxiu, the head of the Qingyang Sect's intelligence station.

As soon as the song was played, all the girls filed out, leaving only two people in the room.

Wang Wenxiu drank the wine in the cup, opened his eyes, and looked at the man opposite him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, although the spirit wine here is good, there are many people with mixed eyes, so it seems not suitable for people like you and me."

!”

Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Wang is busy with everything, and he is busy with the affairs of the sect all day long. Occasionally, he should come out to have fun. I have seen through that it is useless no matter how well you do. In terms of the current situation of our Xuanmen, you

Even if you risk your life, the higher ups won't give you an extra copper penny. In that case, why bother with it?"

Wang Wenxiu said: "Listening to what you said, it seems to be a trick to instigate rebellion. You don't want to instigate me to rebel, do you?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Yuan picked up the glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, and said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, to be honest, brother, I recently took on a task, which is a bit tricky, so I want to ask your brother for help."

Wang Wenxiu said with a smile: "Young Daoist Xu, are you joking? You and I each belong to two sects, and we are all doing our own things. How can I help you? Besides, if I use the power of the sect to help you, I will be reported.

You have to go to jail."

Xu Yuandao: "Fellow Daoist Wang, don't be too busy refusing. How about you first listen to me tell you about the specific task you received?"

"Speaking."

"This mission is somewhat special. It is not an assignment from the sect, but a private order from an uncle of our sect. This uncle is in charge of finances in our sect, and the conditions he offered are very high, both in public and private matters.

I can’t refuse. Things are easy to say and difficult to say. As long as your brother takes action, it can be done effortlessly.”

Wang Wenxiu said: "Could it be that the uncle Daoist Xu mentioned is Senior Tang Ning, the newly promoted Jindan from your sect?"

"That's right." Xu Yuan was not subtle: "He asked our intelligence station to place a chess piece next to an elder of the Blood and Bone Sect. If there are fellow Taoists to help, this matter will be easy."

Wang Wenxiu said: "Fellow Daoist Xu thinks too highly of me. How can I have the ability to arrange details in front of the Blood and Bone Sect's golden elixir monks? We do have some information in the Blood and Bone Sect, but they are all low-level monks who are exposed to this level.

The monks are already the highest secret of the sect."

Xu Yuandao: "Fellow Daoist Wang has misunderstood what I meant. I also know that it is not easy to place a spy next to the Jindan monk. Fortunately, my uncle has given me some time to take a long-term approach. I want to first place some people around his disciple."

As a subordinate running errands, this shouldn’t be difficult for fellow Daoist Wang!”

Wang Wenxiu said: "Fellow Daoist Xu has made things difficult for me. If the sect knows about it, the crime will be serious!"

Xu Yuandao: "Our Xuanmen is originally a family, and our purpose is just to deal with the Demon Sect. What's the difference? Besides, it doesn't matter how many internal disciples with low cultivation level are installed. I know that your sect's finances are just as stretched as ours. Fellow Taoist

The intelligence station has also not had spiritual stone subsidies for several years!"

"To be honest with fellow Taoists, in order for our plan to progress smoothly, my uncle has opened the door to the funding of spiritual stones. If fellow Taoists can help, we are willing to pay this amount." Xu Yuan spread his five fingers.

Wang Wenxiu pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Today we will only talk about romance, and let's not talk about this worrying matter."

"Okay, I'll give you a drink, fellow Taoist." The two of them picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

……………………………………………………………………………

Qian Yizong, Qian Xing Mountain, in front of the meeting hall, a ray of light shot out, and Tang Ning's figure appeared.

The two disciples in front of the hall bowed and saluted, and Tang Ning went straight inside. In the inner room, Luo Qingshui was sitting high on top of him. On the left and right sides, Shi Mingsui, Tong Quan'an, and Zhuang Xingqian were seated prominently.

After Tang Ning bowed to Luo Qingshui, he sat down next to Zhuang Xingqian. Not long after, Yin Qingyuan also came.

Today is not a time for discussion in Japan. The reason why Luo Qingshui suddenly convened a high-level discussion was because a fight of a very bad nature occurred in the sect.

The matter started from the sect's decision three months ago, when Tang Ning proposed to spend two million to purchase raw materials for alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and talisman making.

After the resolution was passed, Zhu Zhongwen asked him to sign twice, took two million spiritual stones from the sect's savings room and sent people to Wu and Qi to purchase materials.

He didn't ask much about what happened after that. He knew that this was a fat job, and he also expected that the disciples would line their own pockets, but he never thought that the matter would become such a big deal.

He originally thought that the disciples below might be greedy for more than ten or two hundred thousand spirit stones, and everyone would take a little bit, but he never imagined that after two million spirit stones, the deficit would actually reach eight or nine hundred thousand.

To this point, this matter was just the result of greed and shortfall. What really made this matter get out of hand was that when the Supervision Department went to investigate the shortfall, they were actually blocked by the purchasing disciples.

A conflict broke out between the two sides. Two disciples died on the spot and more than a dozen people were injured. When the news came back to the sect, it immediately caused a great shock.

As soon as Tang Ning got the news, someone from Zhili, the head of the clan, came and asked him to go to Qianxing Mountain to discuss the matter. Until now, he still hasn't fully understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The atmosphere in the main hall was a little solemn. Luo Qingshui said slowly: "All junior brothers are here. You must have heard about the matter. The fourth and fifth teams of the Supervision Department went to Wu and Qi to investigate the purchases made by the disciples of Yuan Yidian.

When the various cultivation resources were in short supply, they were stopped by the disciples of Yuan Yidian. A quarrel broke out between the two sides, and then they fought, resulting in the death of two disciples and the injury of more than ten disciples."

"The impact of this matter is extremely bad. I have ordered the Supervision Department, the Staff Department, the Liability Department, and the Secret Security Department to set out and bring all Yuan Yidian responsible for purchasing resources, including the disciples of the Supervision Department who went to investigate, back to the sect for interrogation. "

"In addition, Fang Xun, a disciple of the Palm Seal Department of Yuan Yidian who is responsible for this matter, Chen Yu, a disciple of the External Imperial Department, Hong Xinyuan, a disciple of the Internal Supervision Department, and Wang Yan, a disciple of the Economic and Trade Section of the Foreign Affairs Academy, immediately captured him and are waiting to be punished."

"I announce that a joint review of the three departments will be held immediately to strictly investigate the financial deficit and malicious attacks on the disciples of the Supervisory Department."

"Come here." Luo Qingshui shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples from outside came in and saluted: "What are your instructions, Master?"

"Go and summon the deacon of the inspection department."

"Yes." The two of them responded and left the hall.

……………………………………………………

The hall fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke.

After a while, Zhuang Xingan asked: "What happened? How did the deficit of Yuan Yidian be discovered? How did the Supervisory Department go down to investigate and instead fight with the disciples of Yuan Yidian?"

Tong Quan'an said: "Yuan Yidian's shortfall in purchasing practice resources was discovered by Cheng Xian, the supervisor of the Internal Supervision Department. The Internal Supervision Department is responsible for the statistics of the sect's assets. All the practice resources purchased from outside are stored at Xuanyue Peak."

"A month ago, when Cheng Xian was inspecting internal assets, he discovered that there was a large deficit in the purchased resources."

"The reserves hoarded by Xuanyue Peak are completely different from the reported resource list. There is a huge difference between the two."

"So he reported the matter to the Inspection Department, and the Inspection Department reported it to me. After discussing with the headmaster, I sent disciples from the Inspection Department to go out and conduct a secret investigation at the shops where Qi and Wu purchased supplies."

"I didn't expect it, but I had a conflict with the Yuan Yidian disciples who were purchasing at the time, resulting in a fight between the two parties. Today, the news reached the sect."

Tang Ning sat down with an expressionless face and said nothing. He could feel Zhuang Xingqian and Yin Qingyuan looking at him from the corners of their eyes.

As the steward of Yuan Yidian, he is in charge of the sect's finances. This proposal to purchase supplies was originally proposed by him. Now it has caused such a big deficit. Although everyone here has not said it explicitly, there is no doubt in their hearts who has taken the majority. All pointed at him.

But he really didn't take any spiritual stone from it, and he actually didn't know about the whole thing.

Cheng Xian, the inspector of the Internal Supervision Department, didn't even say hello to him and reported directly to Tong Quan'an without him. Luo Qingshui actually talked to him and explained the deficit situation to him. Tang Ning immediately stated that she knew nothing about it. Didn't get a single spiritual stone.

Therefore, Luo Qingshui sent people from the Supervision Department to investigate. Who knew something like this would happen.

To say that this group of people was too courageous to actually steal so many spirit stones from Mo Mo, he was very shocked when he heard about it.
