In front of the majestic cave, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a leopard head and ape arms appeared. He flipped his hand and the talisman sank into the room.

Soon, as the thick fog rolled in, a figure flashed out from inside. The two exchanged a few words and entered the inner room together.

"Disciple pays homage to Master." Inside the room, a man with a leopard head and ape arms bowed to Fang Dasheng.

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master." The man followed the instructions and took his seat: "I wonder what you have to say, Uncle Master, when you call this disciple here?"

Fang Dasheng said: "Today, a case was brought up below. It is about Tang Ning, the acting captain of the fifth team of the first team. He is suspected of killing Lin Quan, a disciple recruited by his team. The first team has arrested him."

"According to the regulations, cases heard by lower-level teams need to be reviewed by the superior team. This case was heard by the First Brigade, and naturally it needs to be reviewed by the coalition team."

"In terms of candidates, I recommend you as the person in charge of investigating the case, and Zhang Xian and Xu Lin will assist you."

"What should I do, disciple? Please tell me, Uncle Master." Pan Yuan immediately expressed his position.

Fang Dasheng nodded: "The case is not that complicated. Tang Ning confessed to the murder of Lin Quan. The main point of controversy is whether Lin Quan stole the materials handed over to the sect. During the trial, Tang Ning insisted that Lin Quan was the mastermind of stealing the materials.

, and according to the investigation of the First Brigade, it is completely false.”

"So the focus of your review this time is to find out whether Lin Quan stole the sect's materials. This is crucial to the outcome of this case."

"To tell you the truth, Tangning, like you, was promoted to captain of the Fifth Squadron of the First Brigade through my personal recommendation. Based on my understanding of him, he does not seem to be an arrogant, domineering and wanton person. I think this case must be resolved."

There is something inside."

"Many people in the alliance are watching my jokes now. They are eager to convict him as soon as possible and put him to death. One can recommend their people to take over the position of captain of the fifth team, and the other two can use this as an excuse to attack me.

Being unknown will damage my reputation in the alliance."

"The person in charge of investigating the case in the First Brigade is a close associate of Inspector He Lian, and the deceased Lin Quan is He Lian's brother. The reason why I put you in charge is because I am worried that someone will interfere with it."

"Uncle, please rest assured, this disciple understands what to do." Pan Yuandao.

"It won't be long before Junior Brother Sima will summon you and announce the establishment of an investigation team. He will tell you the specific details of the case."

"yes."

"I have already reserved your quota for next year's Spirit Gathering Array. Once this is done, you can go directly to practice at the beginning of the year!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Go for it!"

"Disciple, please retire." Pan Yuan stood up and walked out. Xu Mengyuan sent him outside the cave and returned to the room: "Master, judging from the attitudes of Hao Jianren and Sima Nianzu, they must intervene and will not give up. You

How confident are you that you can protect Tang Ning?"

"Are you sure?" Fang Dasheng glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "You think too highly of me, the captain of the team, do you think I can abide by the sect's rules and regulations to keep him safe? If that's really the case, Hao Jian

If Ren and Sima Nianzu casually file a complaint, I will have to step down. The most I can do is to make the best of the situation."

Xu Mengyuan frowned and said: "It's not that serious! It's just a recruitment of monks. Moreover, there is a reason for the incident. Lin Quan himself may not be clean. Is it possible that he will really be convicted and imprisoned?"

Fang Dasheng said: "You still don't understand the key to this matter. It is an indisputable fact that Tangning violated the sect's rules, and I do not have the right to convict. The decision-making power on how to deal with it is not mine, it lies above. The most I can strive for is

It is to provide him with favorable evidence and suggestions for a lighter punishment at the conclusion of the case. As for the punishment the higher-ups will give him, it is not up to me to decide."

"Then do you think Tangning can still retain his position as captain? Will he be sentenced to jail?"

"Then it depends on how things develop. If the evidence is favorable and can prove that Lin Quan is the mastermind of stealing the elixir, then his death is deserved. In addition, the alliance has finalized the case and recommended a lighter treatment. If no one above deliberately targeted it

, it should be impossible to go to jail, and it is difficult to say whether he can keep his position as captain. He is still acting as captain, and the sect has not completed the process. If he commits an offense at this time, he will most likely be deprived of his position as captain, plus a fine or a fine.

Confinement treatment.”

……………

In Pingling Mountain, in the meeting hall, Pan Yuan, Zhang Xian, and Xu Linduan were sitting on top, questioning the disciples of the fifth team.

Outside the hall, two rays of light shot out, revealing the figures of two people.

"I wonder which uncle from our headquarters is here? A case is being interrogated inside, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter." In front of the hall, a disciple came forward and bowed in salute.

The leading man said: "I am Mo Xian of the Fourth Battalion of this headquarters, and he is Mo Chaoyang, a recruiter from the Fifth Team of the First Battalion. Regarding the case of Junior Brother Tang Ning, we have important evidence to present to the joint investigation team."

"Uncle Mo, please wait a moment. I'll go and report." The disciple pushed open the heavy stone door in front of the hall and entered the inner room. He saluted the three people above and said, "To the three uncles, there is Uncle Mo Xian of the fourth brigade outside."

Leading the recruitment of monk Mo Chaoyang from the First Brigade and the Fifth Brigade, he is waiting to see you, saying that he has important evidence to present regarding Tangning's case."

"Invite them in quickly." Pan Yuan responded immediately, waving his hand to Yang Qiushui standing below: "You go down first!"

"Yes." Yang Qiushui and the disciple left in response.

Soon, Mo Xian and Mo Chaoyang came in from outside.

"Junior Brother Pan, Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Xu, I am Mo Xian of the Fourth Battalion. I learned that you were ordered by the alliance to investigate the case of Junior Brother Tang Ning's murder of Lin Quan. I have a very important piece of evidence to submit here." Mo Xian held a piece of evidence in his hand.

Turn it over, take out a note, point it at it, and the words inside will come out.

………

"Fellow Daoist Mo, why did you summon us here in such a hurry?"

"I have received news that members of the joint review team will arrive at our team in the next few days to review Tangning's case. I am afraid that everyone will have different opinions and something will happen, so I have called everyone here to discuss it."

"If there is anything else to discuss, just repeat what I said before."

"I'm a little worried. What if the alliance review team finds out that Lin Quan stole the elixir and we perjured ourselves? How about we take the initiative to tell the alliance review team the truth?"

"No, if we tell the truth, we will be guilty of perjury."

"Yes, we must not tell the truth, just follow the confession of the First Brigade."

"But I..."

Continuous sounds continued to come from the notes emitting dark green light, echoing in the hall, lasting for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped.

Before anyone could speak, Mo Xian took the lead and said: "Mo Chaoyang is my descendant. After committing perjury that day, he felt quite uneasy, so he sent me a letter to tell me. After I learned about this, I advised him to step back from the brink and collect relevant information.

The evidence will be handed over to the joint investigation team, hoping that the merits can be exonerated, and I also ask a few senior brothers to show their remorse and deal with him leniently."

"Junior Brother Mo, don't worry, we will tell the alliance truthfully about this incident." Pan Yun looked at Mo Chaoyang and said, "Who is involved in the conversation here?"

"Except for the juniors, the others were the witnesses who witnessed Lin Quan stealing the elixir. We were worried that your sect would be held accountable, so we made perjury. In fact, we all witnessed Lin Quan stealing the elixir."

Pan Yuan looked at the two people beside him and said, "Do you two junior brothers have anything else you need to ask?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"Okay, please, Junior Brother Mo and Fellow Daoist Mo, please step back first."

Mo Xian and Mo Chaoyang turned and left."

"Senior Brother Pan, it's getting late today. I think we'll stop here. How about we try again tomorrow?" Zhang Xian said.

Pan Yundao: "We have just obtained important evidence of this case, how can we wait for tomorrow? If Junior Brother Zhang feels tired, he can go and rest first, just leave this place to me. Come, bring Chen Yun, Liao Fan and Zhang Xuanqian

, Ye Xun, Ma Yong came first one by one."

"Yes." A man below responded, stood up and left the hall.

Soon, Chen Yun entered from the outside, and the heavy stone door of the main hall closed with a roar.

"Junior Chen Yun pays homage to three seniors."

"Chen Yun, you should know the purpose of our coming here today! Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Yun lowered his head and said: "Senior, what do you need me to say from this junior?"

"Let me ask you, why did you go back on your word during the investigation of the First Brigade? You not only identified Lin Quan in front of Junior Brother Tang Ning as the mastermind of stealing the elixir, but then said that it was because of Junior Brother Tang's intimidation. Did someone prescribe something to you?

What conditions forced you to say this?"

Chen Yun's eyes flashed: "I don't know what the senior said. The testimony I gave during the investigation by the First Brigade is indeed true. I identified Lin Quan in the meeting hall just to protect myself."

"Hmph." Pan Yun suddenly slapped the desk: "You are really stubborn. Up to this moment, you are still lying to the world. It seems that you can't shed tears without seeing the coffin. Come here, press him down and escort him back to the unit for serious punishment.

Disposal."

"This junior is wronged." Chen Yun's expression changed and he hurriedly said loudly.

"You still dare to cry out for injustice? First you conspired to rob the sect of supplies, and then you gave false evidence to frame Junior Brother Tang Ning. Now you are still dishonest and talking nonsense. Your crime cannot be pardoned."

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "Junior is not talking nonsense, senior please investigate clearly."

"Mingcha? Huh, do you think I'm deceiving you?" Pan Yun left a note on the desk, and the voice inside rang again.

Chen Yun's face suddenly turned ashen.

"What do you have to say? Mo Chaoyang has already explained everything, are you still stubborn? Now is the opportunity for you. If you don't explain truthfully, someone will naturally explain it. When the time comes, even if you want to say it, no one will listen.

There are countless soul-searching techniques in the spiritual world. It is easy to get the truth. I just think that you are recruiting monks for this department. It is not easy to practice for many years. It has been a little hard to help deal with the spiritual mine affairs over the years, so I can't bear to impose it on you. You

Do you want to give it a try?"

Chen Yun's face was pale, and Pan Yun's words had just finished. He knelt down with a thud and said tremblingly: "Junior, I know your guilt."

"You haven't recruited them from the ground up."

Chen Yundao: "The junior did witness Lin Quan stealing the elixir. At that time, the junior and others were arranged by Senior Tang to load and unload the elixir on the Yuanling ship. It was the junior who first discovered that Lin Quan had stolen the elixir. The junior stopped him on the spot and attracted others.

After paying attention, Lin Quan bribed and encouraged us."
