When he came out of the formation, he saw two escaping lights coming towards him. They were none other than Gu Yuanya and Chen Xiaofan.

The two parties met head-on. Gu Yuanya was happy and said happily: "Master, you finally came out. I was worried to death."

Seeing her smiling face, Tang Ning felt comforted: "Yuanya, why are you here?"

"These days, I have been guarding the Tianniu Mountains, counting the days, waiting for you to come out!"

"How did you know that I was imprisoned in the wing? Who told you?"

"I heard what Senior Brother Chen Xiaofan said."

"Disciple pays homage to Master." Chen Xiaofan heard the master and apprentice talking about him, and then he stepped forward and bowed.

Naturally, Tangning had seen him a long time ago and waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite: "When did you come to Xuantang City?"

"Uncle Master, my disciple arrived here dozens of days ago. Hearing that Uncle Master had been transferred to Jingyuan Pavilion, he went to pay a visit, so he knew that Uncle Master was in trouble."

"Why are you here in Xuantang City? But Senior Brother Jiang sent you here?"

"Disciple..." Chen Xiaofan stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanya said: "Master, Senior Brother Chen and the others came here specifically to find you. Uncle Jiang was arrested and detained due to a conspiracy. They had no way to go. If they stayed in the Jiang family, they might be plotted by others, so they came to seek refuge with you."

."

"Senior Brother Jiang was arrested? What happened?"

"Master, let's meet up with Junior Brother Gao Yuan, Junior Brother Yan Qing, and Junior Brother Zhang Yao first! This is not the place to talk. You can just ask them in detail when you get there."

"They also came together?"

"yes."

"Then let's go!" Tangning waved her hand, and her spiritual power enveloped the two of them as they walked straight towards the light. In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the top of a mountain peak, where a wooden house stood.

The three of them disappeared from the light and landed on the plateau. Yan Qing and Zhang Yao came out to greet her. Seeing Tang Ning's arrival, the three of them all looked happy and bowed in salute.

Tang Ning nodded slightly and went straight into the house, and everyone followed naturally.

"Everyone, sit down! What's going on? How could Senior Brother Jiang be arrested, and why did you run away from the Jiang family?" Tangning asked straight to the point without any extra greetings.

Several people looked at each other, and Gao Yuan replied: "Uncle Master, this is a long story. Not many years after we said goodbye to Master Jiang in Donglai County, Master Jiang broke through to the realm of Nascent Soul.

, was transferred to be the head of a resource management land called Huangyuan Mountain in the Jiang family of Huayuan City, Yuanlan County, so we naturally followed our uncle."

"The chief officer of the Jiang family stationed in Huayuan City is named Jiang Yunnan, and his son is named Jiang Changyan. Although this man is extremely talented, he is a playboy and arrogant. He wanders around the flower alleys and is really a drunkard and a womanizer."

"For some reason, he actually fell in love with Junior Sister Wang Jiaxin. He kept pestering her in every possible way and even kidnapped her while she was out. Fortunately, Junior Uncle Jiang arrived in time and saved Junior Sister Wang from him.

."

"Half a year later, monks from the Jiang family who were conducting law enforcement inspections came to Huangyuan Mountain. It was originally a routine inspection, but unexpectedly a large amount of deficit was found, and Master Jiang was taken away."

"We have been with Uncle Jiang for many years and know that the so-called deficit is completely false. It is obviously Jiang Changyan's frame-up design."

"Due to the incident involving Junior Sister Wang Jiaxin, we have already formed a conflict with Jiang Changyan. He also regards us as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of us quickly. Without Junior Uncle Jiang's protection, it will be easy for him to get rid of us."

"So when Master Jiang was arrested, we quickly fled Huangyuan Mountain. As a descendant of the Jiang family, Master Jiang could only go to prison based on these criminal evidences, and there was no risk to his life. We are not directly related to the Jiang family. One day, suddenly

I didn’t care if he disappeared.”

"After some discussion with Senior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Yan, and Junior Brother Zhang, I decided to come to Yuanxian County to seek refuge with you. I hope you can take us in."

Tang Ning said that was the case, and then asked, "Where are Wang Jiaxin and Xu Jiayin? Aren't there six of you? Why are there only four here?"

Chen Xiaofan replied: "It turns out that we are a group of six people who came to seek refuge with you. Junior Sister Wang had a crush on Junior Uncle Jiang and could not bear to abandon him. Junior Brother Xu wanted to stay and take care of Junior Sister Wang, so only the four of us came here.

"

"Now that you're here, let's stay! To be honest, I also need help around me. You came at the right time."

His words were not perfunctory. During these days in the confinement room, he had already thought clearly that the reason why he ended up in this situation was not that he did not hold back his anger and killed Lin Quan, nor that He He

The chain is deliberately targeted.

It's that he lacks the ability to control the overall situation. Although he took over the position of captain of the fifth team, he kept his promise on the surface, but in fact his influence did not penetrate at all.

To put it more bluntly, he is like a bare-bones commander. The people below him are all doing their own thing, and there is no real confidant who can control him.

The original disciples of Team 5 seemed to respect him, but in fact they all had their own thoughts and calculations, and they were not just following his orders.

Lin Quan's stealing of the elixir is the best evidence. The reason why he dared to do this was because he believed that he did not have enough influence in the fifth team.

This is also true. After discovering this behavior, the remaining monks in the Guard Hall not only did not report it, but actually dared to collude with it. If the brigade had not discovered the stolen elixir during the inspection, they would have been deceived by these people.

If there were his confidants among these people, the following series of things would not have happened. And more importantly, because he did not have enough control over the team, he knew nothing about the complex interpersonal relationships inside.

I knew this and never reported this to him.

If he had known about the relationship between Lin Quan and He Lian, he would never have been so impulsive. Having said that, as the captain of the fifth team, he couldn't ask the recruiting monks one by one, who are your relatives and who is your backstage? Then!

It’s too unlikeable.

To strengthen the control of the team, the most direct, effective and simple way is to place more people in the team. If not, there is no guarantee that things like stealing elixirs will not happen again.

Originally, he planned to find an opportunity to bring Gu Yuanya and Yang Yunzhi to his side after returning to Jingyuan Pavilion. Now that several people are here, it can be said that it is the right time and exactly what he wants.

Chen Xiaofan, Gao Yuan, Yan Qing, and Zhang Yao were all overjoyed when they heard this.

"Thank you so much, uncle. From now on, my disciples will have to follow my uncle's lead." Chen Xiaofan quickly expressed his stance, and several others also agreed.

"Master, what about me! I also want to go to Jingyuan Pavilion to help you handle your affairs." Gu Yuanya took the opportunity to say from the side.

"You come too!"

Gu Yuanya smiled brightly: "That's great, I don't want to stay in Fengshui Pavilion for a long time."

"I am not the only one who has the final say in recruiting monks. Applications and reports need to be submitted to the brigade. Since I have just committed a crime, it is not convenient to take you back to the fifth team for the time being. Yuanya, you should go back to Fengshui Pavilion first and wait for me.

Once the situation is stable, I will find an opportunity to transfer you over. The same goes for you, just practice here with peace of mind, and I will let you know when the time comes."

"Yes." Several people responded in unison.

……………

Huajian Pavilion, Fengwei Mountain, in front of the majestic cave, a ray of light fell down, and the person who came was none other than Tang Ning.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, when the thick fog rolled, a man flashed out, smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang, you are here, my uncle is calling you in."

The two of them entered the inner room one after the other.

"Junior Brother Tang, to be honest, after hearing about your accident, I was really worried. Without you at Jingyuan Pavilion, our alchemy palace would be finished."

"Senior Brother Xie is so humble. No matter who is in charge, it will be the same. In this three-acre land, who dares not to give you a little favor? What's more, this is a win-win situation and is beneficial to everyone."

"Junior Brother Tang can come back safely without any danger, which makes me feel at ease. Our cooperation should still follow the old rules, no problem, right?"

"Of course."

"There is something I want to remind you. Although this case has come to an end, Inspector He Lian still feels aggrieved. You should be careful in your actions in the future, so as not to fall into his hands again. Originally, Inspector He had only one intention.

The one who wanted to remove you from office proposed to directly finalize the case after the first brigade investigation of the case. It was my uncle who insisted on not finalizing the case for the time being, so he waited until the brigade reviewed and finalized the case."

"Thank you so much, uncle."

While the two were talking, they came into a spacious and bright hall.

"Junior Brother Tang, please sit down for now. I'll call my uncle." Xie Xuan turned around and left.

After waiting for about half an hour, she heard footsteps outside. Tang Ning quickly stood up and bowed to Xie Minghua who came in from the outside and said, "Disciple, pay homage to your uncle."

Xie Minghua went straight to the main seat and sat down, and said: "The Lin Quan case team has already punished you. This matter is over. We only need to wait for the sect's approval. In the meantime, you will still go to Jingyuan Pavilion to take charge.

Haosheng is handling the affairs. After this incident, the people of the fifth team are a little unstable. I asked Yu Qingxiao to send you to take office to stabilize people's hearts."

"yes."

"The funds for your team have been distributed. In the past few months, Ma Long has been handling all matters in Jingyuanting. You need to make the handover with him first."

"The next time the brigade discusses the case, there will be a special discussion on Lin Quan's case. You should also come and be prepared to do a deep review."

"yes."

"The occurrence of such an incident shows that there are big problems in the internal management of your team, especially the Guard Hall. Your disciple Huang Qiansheng joined the team to practice in the spirit gathering formation at the beginning of the year. The other recruited monks who participated in the Linquan theft case, except

Except for Mo Chaoyang, all of them have been punished in accordance with the law and have been detained at the headquarters."

"After you return, you must strengthen team management norms and systems. In addition, thoroughly investigate the practice resources under your department's jurisdiction. After making statistics, submit a specific and detailed data to the team. Don't be fooled by those paper things."
