Chapter 16 Where is the evidence?
Chapter 16 Where is the evidence?
"Greetings, Elder Tang."
All the servant disciples bowed their heads in unison.
The newcomer was a middle-aged monk.
He had a black beard, narrow sleeves, and a black gold token hanging at his waist.
Tang Zhiming did not look at the crowd.
His gaze first fell on the discarded pills and account books on the table, then swept over the servant disciples whose bodies still retained a faint white light.
Finally, Tang Zhiming looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
"You must be young friend Lin?"
Lin Xiaoyou cupped his hands in greeting.
"Yes, disciple."
Tang Zhiming raised his hand.
"come over."
Lin Xiaoyou stepped forward.
Tang Zhiming turned to look at Wu He.
"Who gave you permission to seal off the hospital?"
Wu He cupped his hands in greeting.
"Elder Tang."
"reason."
"Zhao Cheng and Wang Yuanke deducted their share of the allowance, which involves three months' worth of accounts for the miscellaneous service office. There are also strange phenomena in the mirror, which are suspected to be Buddhist or Taoist practices. The greater the impact, the more difficult it will be to control."
Tang Zhiming looked at Wu He.
"You dare to say that?"
Wu He lowered his head.
"I will only say what I should say."
Tang Zhiming did not ask any further questions.
He walked to the table, picked up a discarded pill, and rubbed it between his fingertips.
The elixir shattered.
Gray powder fell onto the table.
Tang Zhiming's face slowly darkened.
"This is not a wasted pill from the alchemy room."
Wu He's eyes flickered slightly.
Tang Zhiming said, "This is a remnant pill that has been refined twice."
The servants below the stage couldn't understand.
Lin Xiaoyou didn't understand either.
Tang Zhiming looked at everyone.
"After the medicinal energy of the genuine Peiyuan Pill is extracted, the remaining pill shell is resealed with the medicine, and that's what it looks like."
"It won't kill you."
"It's not very useful."
The servants' quarters fell silent.
Some people clenched their fists.
Someone looked down at the porcelain vase in their arms.
They only knew Dancha before.
But no one knows that what they received has already been exploited.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyou asked, "Elder Tang, what is this?"
Tang Zhiming looked at him.
Lin Xiaoyou looked up.
"Is it Zhao Cheng who's greedy, or is it someone who's using the menial disciples as a dumping ground for medicine?"
That's what happened.
Wu He's eyelids twitched.
Chen Shou's hand, which was holding the pen, also stopped.
Tang Zhiming stared at Lin Xiaoyou.
"You've got some nerve."
"What's so special about it?"
Tang Zhiming smiled.
"If no one discovers, reports, or takes action, then you're out of luck."
"As for now, consider them unlucky."
"What? You're not convinced?"
Lin Xiaoyou lowered his head.
"This disciple dares not."
"We beg Elder Tang to seek justice for us menial disciples!"
Tang Zhiming remained silent.
He swept the powder into the jade box.
"Wuhe".
"Disciple is here."
"Take the account book, the remaining pills, and Zhao Chengwang Yuan, and go to the Hall of Law Enforcement."
Wu He cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."
Tang Zhiming then looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
"You should go too."
Lin Xiaoyou's heart tightened.
Tang Zhiming said, "And the talisman seed on your body."
"And all those who possess what are called talisman seeds."
"I, Yuan Wufeng, will investigate this thoroughly."
"We'll let you come back after we've made sure everything is correct."
The moment Tang Zhiming finished speaking.
A red notification popped up in the minds of all the bound users simultaneously.
[Regional mission completed.]
[Reward: 5M]
[New Mission Preview: Hearing in the Enforcement Hall.]
[Failure Penalty: Body surrenders to the Yin.]
Lin Xiaoyou: "..."
Chen Shou: "..."
In the system space.
Li Xun was also stunned.
Because Li Xun also received the punishment for failure.
[Failure Penalty: The business hall will be sealed off.]
"etc."
What does it mean if something is "potentially shut down"?
[A sect-level review is about to begin.]
[Based on known information in this world.]
The Qingchi Sect will most likely choose to silence them.
[Please prepare for your first official crisis public relations operation.]
Li Xun sat in the rattan chair, his expression slowly freezing.
"I'm a fucking card seller."
"Do we also need to do public relations?"
The Enforcement Hall is located halfway up Yuanwu Peak.
Ascending the dark blue stone steps, a row of black flags is planted along the roadside.
The wind blew, and the flag swayed gently without making a sound.
Lin Xiaoyou followed behind Wu He.
Chen Shou followed behind Lin Xiaoyou.
Further behind were Zhou Ping and a dozen or so other menial disciples.
Zhao Cheng and Wang Yuan were bound by chains of spiritual energy and walked at the front of the group.
Zhao Cheng remained silent the entire way.
Wang Yuan kept cursing.
"Wu He, you'll regret this."
"I am from Qingchi Peak."
"Senior Brother Li Shi will not let you off the hook."
"The sect leader will not let you get away with this."
Wu He did not turn back.
Tang Zhiming walked at the front and only said one sentence.
"If you keep arguing, I'll shut your tongue."
Wang Yuan immediately shut up.
Chen Shou whispered, "Brother Lin."
Lin Xiaoyou said, "Speak."
"Does the Enforcement Hall perform soul searches?"
Why are you asking this?
"I have a lot of things in my head that I can't show to others."
Lin Xiaoyou glanced at Chen Shou.
"I have one too."
Everyone has one.
They can't do anything.
In the system space.
Li Xun is communicating with the system.
"I remember we customized a text message loading page before, was it useful?"
【it works.】
[Friendly Reminder: This agreement only protects system-related information and does not protect users' private memories.]
Li Xun looked at Chen Shou.
"That's alright."
"His personal memories are worthless."
We've arrived at the Hall of Enforcement.
The gate was heavy.
A three-legged crow is carved on the door.
There was no smell of incense inside, only the smell of cold iron.
Tang Zhiming took the seat of honor.
Wu He stood on the left.
Zhao Cheng and Wang Yuan knelt in the hall.
Lin Xiaoyou and the other servants stood at the back.
Soon after, a few more people arrived outside.
A steward of the alchemy room.
Two outer court deacons.
There's also Lee Seongchi-bong.
When Li Shi entered, he first glanced at Lin Xiaoyou.
His eyes were cold.
Lin Xiaoyou lowered his head.
You have to be a coward.
They've reached the Qi Refining Realm.
Lin Xiaoyou is only at the fourth level of the fetal breathing stage and still has outstanding fees.
Chen Shou stood behind Lin Xiaoyou, his lips moving slightly.
"The title for Chapter Five is ready."
Lin Xiaoyou did not turn around.
"If you dare to write it, pay back the debt first."
Chen Shou shut up.
Tang Zhiming tapped on the table.
"Trial."
A single word was uttered.
Wu He stepped forward and laid out the account books, inventory books, leftover pills, and registration lists.
The alchemist in charge first checks for any remaining pills.
The deacon rubbed the powder together and brought it close to his nose to smell it.
His expression changed quickly.
"This is a remnant of the second refinement of the elixir."
Tang Zhiming asked, "Has the alchemy room ever produced such a pill?"
The steward of the alchemy room frowned.
"no."
Tang Zhiming looked at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng immediately kowtowed.
"This disciple confesses his sins."
"This disciple was greedy and replaced some of the genuine pills with incomplete ones."
Wang Yuan suddenly looked at him.
"Zhao Cheng!"
Zhao Cheng did not look at Wang Yuan.
He continued, "This matter was done by me alone, and has nothing to do with Senior Brother Wang Yuan."
Lin Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes.
coming.
Docking the tail.
Zhao Cheng still wanted to protect Wang Yuan.
Or rather, Li Shi behind Wang Yuan.
Zhao Cheng is very smart.
Zhao Cheng knew that only by protecting Wang Yuan and Li Shi could he have a chance of survival.
Tang Zhiming remained silent.
Li Shi then spoke up.
"Now that Zhao Cheng has confessed, the matter is clear."
"According to the clan rules, Zhao Chengke was punished by having his share deducted, being removed from his position as manager, receiving thirty strokes of the cane, and being fined ten spirit stones."
He spoke very fluently.
It's as if it was prepared in advance.
Wu He frowned.
"Wang Yuan has thirty-seven genuine Peiyuan Pills in his storage bag."
Li Shi looked at Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan immediately replied, "I bought it myself."
Wu Hedao: "Six spirit stones for thirty-seven?"
Wang Yuan sneered.
"I know someone well, so I can buy it at a lower price, is that not allowed?"
Wu He was about to speak again.
Li Shi looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
"You said Zhao Cheng gave Wang Yuan thirty-seven pills last night."
"Where's the evidence?"
These three words again.
