The disciples came to the main hall one after another, bowed and bowed, and then stood aside. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Ning said, "The department has just passed an internal resolution and passed the financial reform plan. From now on, all disciples who go out to perform tasks will

, the captain will be rewarded with two hundred spiritual stones, and the other disciples will be rewarded with one hundred spiritual stones."

"If the task is successfully completed, an additional fund of three hundred spiritual stones will be given. If it is not completed, no funds will be given. In addition, if the task assigned by the department is successfully completed three times in a row, five hundred spiritual stones will be rewarded."

"Specific financial regulations will be issued to each team in the next few days. If you have any outstanding spiritual stone funds before, you can go to the Finance Hall to collect them now."

Everyone looked at each other, looked slightly happy, and said, "Yes."

Since the sect reduced its funding, their funding rewards have also been greatly reduced. It has been reduced by almost half in these years. This time it is equivalent to returning to the previous standard.

"In addition, according to the new regulations, disciples who go out to perform tasks must reach the advanced stage of Qi refining. Before reaching this stage, they can only stay in the sect to practice and deal with other matters."

"yes."

"You go! Wang Wentong, please stay for a while."

"Disciple, please leave." Everyone said, turned around and left the hall.

"What are your orders, uncle?" Wang Wen said.

"The Beiyuan Eastern Intelligence Station found several people with suspicious identities. You will set out today to investigate their identities and their purpose."

"Yes." Wang Wentong responded and stepped back.

Tangning also left the main hall and turned into light and left.

When Lu Guang returned to the cave, Zhou Yingxue saw a strange look on his face, and knew that the result of today's discussion must be unsatisfactory. She comforted him softly: "Husband, there is no need to worry about it. You are the deacon after all. Even if you fail, it is not a big deal. I can only bear with him for a while."

That’s it.”

Lu Guang sighed slightly and had no words.

Ever since Zhang Yan passed away, he knew that he could no longer suppress Tang Ning, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The new financial plan was forcibly passed through an internal resolution within the department, and the loss was not just a few spiritual stones.

According to the previous distribution plan, he could get 30,000 spiritual stones every year, but now he can only get 15,000 spiritual stones.

To be honest, his annual income of fifteen thousand spiritual stones is not unacceptable to him.

What really concerned him was that Tang Ning forcibly took the piece of meat from his hand. Such a situation had never happened in the Intelligence Department for so many years.

Obviously, there is a risk that he, the deacon, will be emptied out. No, it is not just a risk. If he does not take action, he will soon be emptied out.

……………………………………………………

In the middle of the remote mountains and forests in the Central Plains, a black eagle circled in the sky for several times and kept chirping. After hearing a whistle, the black eagle leaned over and plunged into the forest. It fell next to a man in the forest and folded the file in its mouth.

spit out.

The man took the file and patted the black eagle on the head, and the black eagle flapped its wings.

In the basement room, Du Yuankai and Xu Qingwan were sitting opposite each other, talking about something, when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Du Yuankai said.

Xu Qiyuan pushed the door open, bowed and saluted, handed the file in his hand to Du Yuankai and said: "Uncle Master, this is urgent news that just came from the sect."

Du Yuankai took the file, opened it, and took a look.

"Duke Xianshi, what happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I have received a letter from Senior Brother Lu of our sect. The department is currently short of manpower and lacks a manager in charge of the specific affairs of the department. He hopes that I will go back and take over this position." Du Yuankai did not hide anything and said truthfully.

"Then who will be in charge of the intelligence station?"

Du Yuankai smiled: "Who knows? But I am indeed old and my life is short. It is time for me to return to the sect and enjoy my old age in peace."

The two chatted for a few words, and Xu Qingwan left and returned to the room. Not long after, Xu Qiyuan came and saluted: "Auntie, what did you call me for?"

Xu Qingwan said: "Did anything happen to your sect recently?"

She has been in the intelligence station for so many years, and she knows a lot about the inside of Qian Yizong.

According to Du Yuankai, the file news just now only asked him to return to the sect to take over his position. For such an ordinary thing, an expedited file was actually used. Obviously there was another hidden reason behind this matter.

She was keenly aware that things were unusual.

Xu Qiyuan said doubtfully: "I haven't heard of any major incidents. The Demon Sect has been relatively calm in recent years. At most, they have engaged in some petty thefts and no major offensive measures."

"What about your department? Has anything happened recently?"

"Indeed I haven't heard of it."

"Go and inquire again and tell me when you come back."

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan responded and retreated.

………………………

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and the storage bag on his waist suddenly shook. He took out the array plate a little, put the talisman into his hand, poured his spiritual consciousness, and a man's voice sounded in his mind.

With a suspicious look on his face, he put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clam and left the room in a flash.

Outside the thick fog, there stood a tall, broad man, Yang Chang, the second disciple of Luo Qingshui.

Tang Ning suddenly fell in front of him and said, "Junior Brother Yang, why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"I have nothing to do, so I came here to chat with Senior Brother Tang."

"Please come in quickly." The two of them entered the inner room and sat opposite each other. Tangning turned her left hand, took out a jar of wine, and poured two glasses for them: "This is the view of the Xichuan Pavilion in my early years when I was in Qinchuan. The spiritual wine given to me is not as good as the ones collected by Master Luo, and I don’t have good wine to serve in my humble abode. If Junior Brother Yang doesn’t dislike it, just try to moisten your mouth!”

"What did Senior Brother Tang say? I rarely taste the spiritual wine that my master has collected. I feel deeply grateful to be treated with this wine by Senior Brother Tang."

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Yang Chang said: "Actually, I have wanted to visit Senior Brother Tang for a long time, but I have never been free. I have nothing to do today, so I took the liberty to bother you."

"Junior Brother Yang's coming to the humble house will bring glory to our house! Let's get drunk today before resting."

The two poured wine and drank a few more glasses.

Yang Chang said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has been obsessed with alchemy recently, and his level is quite high. Even the Alchemy Department looks at you with special eyes. I also heard that you sell more than 100,000 spirit stones of the Alchemy Department's Vitality Pills in one year. I'm really envious. It's a shame, but it's a pity that I don't need it. We have agreed that if Senior Brother Tang refines the Strengthening Pill in the future, if he knows that he knows me, I will also benefit from it."

"It's easy to say, I will send it to Junior Brother Yang personally when the time comes."

"Then I'll thank Senior Brother Tang first."

While the two were pushing cups and changing cups, Yang Chang suddenly said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has been implementing the financial reform of the department recently, and he has been very unhappy with Lu Guang. Is this true?"

Tang Ning was slightly shocked. Normally, such a trivial matter should not have reached Yang Chang's ears. How could he know about the secret academy in Qingxuan Hall?

Since Yang Chang knows it, it means that Shi Mingsui, Luo Qingshui and others may know it. And Yang Chang is very likely to come on behalf of Luo Qingshui.

His expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. How does Senior Brother Yang know about this?"

"Not only do I know about it, even my master has heard about it."

"What instructions does Uncle Luo have?"

"He said you did a good job, don't worry about other things, just go and do it."

Tang Ning said: "Thank you for your support, uncle. To be honest, if it weren't for the drastic reduction in departmental funds, which made operations unsustainable, I wouldn't be so anxious to launch a financial reform plan. There was a lot of resistance to this matter, and Lu Guang was very unhappy.

I agreed to this plan. I had no choice but to use my supervisory decision-making power to reluctantly pass the case."

Yang Chang said: "Of course he is unwilling, and anyone else would be unhappy. A few days ago, he proposed to the sect to transfer Du Yuankai back to the sect and send Zhao Liheng to be the director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. Does Senior Brother Tang know about this?"

Tang Ning suddenly understood. No wonder Yang Chang knew about this. He was appointed as the Tiaobu in Qingxuan Palace, and Lu Guang could not avoid the Tiaobu if he wanted to transfer people.

Yang Chang must have known about the recent events in the Intelligence Department because of this, and perhaps he also informed Luo Qingshui.

Lu Guang's move was to pull the fire out of the pot! He knew that if he proposed it within the ministry, he would definitely encounter opposition and would definitely fail.

Therefore, he secretly submitted a report to the sect and transferred Zhao Liheng directly through the appointment of Qingxuan Palace.

Lu Xingxian also used this trick to transfer himself to the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, thus defeating Qin Gang's plan.

But things are different now. Now that Luo Qingshui has been promoted to headmaster, and his disciples have been transferred, he can now intervene and speak.

Furthermore, Zhao Liheng is only at the initial stage of foundation building. If he wants to transfer the director of the intelligence station from outside, his cultivation level will appear to be slightly low.

The Silver Fox Information Station now has two foundation-building casual cultivators as managers, and Xu Qingwan is in the middle stage of foundation-building. If he sends an early-stage foundation-building cultivator there, the superiors will be worried that he will not be able to control the people below and affect the efficiency of the intelligence station.

Lu Guang was still a little anxious. The possibility of this appointment being passed was very small. Yang Chang came to see him and already made his attitude clear.

Tang Ning said: "I don't know about this, but he is the head of the department. It is his right to request transfer from the sect. Even if I know, I can't stop him."

Yang Chang said: "This appointment has been rejected by the headquarters. Senior brother Tang can do his best and don't worry about anything else. If Lu Guang takes any action, I will inform you."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Yang."

The two talked and drank for a long time, and Yang Chang left.

………………………………

In the basement of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, Xu Qingwan was sitting cross-legged on a futon. There was a knock on the door outside. Yin Zhirou got up, opened the room, and welcomed Xu Qiyuan into the inner room.

"Qiyuan, what's going on?" Xu Qingwan opened her eyes and asked.

Xu Qiyuan saluted and said: "I have heard a piece of news in the past few days, and I came here to report it to my aunt. A few months ago, during a meeting of the Ministry, Uncle Tang and Uncle Lu had serious differences of opinion."

"Uncle Tang used his decision-making power of supervision and forcibly passed the financial reform plan he formulated for the department. I heard that Uncle Lu walked away on the spot. Now many people in the department are talking about this matter."
