Chapter 135: Punishment
After a while, Yin Meiru came up in front of the crowd and came to the hall, while Liu Manfu and the stewards lined up on both sides, bowing their heads and waiting.
Yin Meiru went straight to the big chair in the middle, sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, glanced at Liu Manfu and said, "Director Liu, I heard that you lost a sum of my elixir?"
Liu Manfu was already sweating profusely, walked up to Yin Meiru and said, "Holy Maiden, I just got the news, how do you know?"
Yin Meiru sneered and said, "Who am I? Every grass and tree in the entire Holy Maiden Peak is under my nose, and besides, you have made such a big fuss, I naturally know about it." β
Liu Manfu explained: "It was all because of Zhan Chen and the other four people's wanton behavior, which caused your Yuanshi to be plundered by thieves!"
Yin Meiru glanced at Zhan Chen in the team, and saw that he was still as calm as water, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and she teased again, and called: "Zhan Chen, you come out and tell me about the situation." β
Zhan Chen glanced at Liu Manfu coldly, then stepped forward and bowed to Yin Meiru, telling in detail how Huang Youshu was deceived, how they were surrounded, how Huang Youshu died at the hands of fake medicine farmers, and how they escaped from death, of course, these stories are half-truths and half-truths.
But he can tell the whole process with a calm look, so that he can't see the slightest flaw.
He finally said: "Holy Maiden, Director Liu had ordered us to go down the mountain and obey the instructions of Team Leader Huang, and the four of us did the same along the way. β
Liu Manfu, who was on the side, heard Zhan Chen say this, his eyes burst out with a strong killing intent, and he said to Yin Meiru: "Holy Maiden, Zhan Chen is slandering, I know Huang Youshu best! Zhan Chen, see if I don't kill you!"
"Okay, Director Liu, are you questioning, or am I questioning? Don't stand aside yet!" Yin Meiru stopped him on the spot.
Liu Manfu had no choice but to stop.
Yin Meiru asked again: "Wang En, Li Guihua and Zhou Yongshun, do you say so?"
The three of them glanced at each other, stepped forward, and said together: "What Zhan Chen said is true, I hope the Holy Maiden will see it!"
"Zhan Chen, Li Guihua, have you ever seen their appearances clearly?"
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, but Li Guihua on the side replied first: "Back to the Holy Maiden, those people have covered up their true faces, we can't see clearly, but we vaguely remember the appearance of the little martial artist called 'Lu Xing'." β
After listening to their statements, Yin Meiru stood up and said, "That's good, you can go down and draw his portrait later, so that we can track down these thieves and make them regret being enemies of our Demon Luo Sect!"
She paused and said, "It seems that the matter has been understood, it was Huang Youshu's dereliction of duty and failure to investigate, which led to the loss of the elixir." β
"Holy Maiden, don't just listen to the four of them!" Liu Manfu called below.
Yin Meiru looked at him condescendingly and asked, "Then Director Liu, do you have any evidence?"
"Thisβ" Liu Manfu was speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, speaking of this elixir robbery, the main responsibility should also be counted on you, it was your nepotism, negligence and miscalculation, which led to such a result, that elixir is not a small amount, Liu Manfu, it seems that you are no longer suitable for this supervisor, but I will start with your hard work in the past few years, I will start with a light hair, you leave the Holy Maiden Peak and go to other peaks to find another position." β
As soon as Liu Manfu heard the news, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged: "Holy Maiden, spare me once, my subordinates know that they are wrong." β
"Okay, don't say it anymore, if you keep talking, it's not such a simple punishment!" Yin Meiru's voice began to turn cold.
Liu Manfu knew that there was no room for turning, so he sat directly on the ground in despair.
Zhan Chen on the side looked at Liu Manfu, a wicked man, and secretly sneered: "Hmph! Liu Manfu, you and Huang Youshu also have today! This is called the evil man has his own evil man's grind." β
Just when he was proud, he heard Yin Meiru say again: "Zhan Chen, Wang En, Zhou Yongshun, Li Guihua, although you and the other four are not obviously negligent, since they lost my elixir, they are also guilty." β
Zhan Chen couldn't help but look at Yin Meiru, and seeing that she was really looking at herself playfully again, he faintly felt bad in his heart: "It seems that this demon girl is going to have some moths again!"
"Wang En, Li Guihua, Zhou Yongshun, you have been working in Lingtian Yuan for some days and have made a lot of contributions, I will punish you to be a medicine slave within a year, and after a year, you will return to your original position, can you take it?"
"We obey the rebuke of the Holy Maiden. The three of them had to reply, fortunately, only a year.
"As for Zhan Chen, you have only been the steward of Lingtian for a year, and you have made such a big mistake, which means that you are not suitable to be the steward of Lingtian, from now on you will be an internal servant under me, under the management of Yingfeng. β
Zhan Chen's heart couldn't help but chuckle, he really wanted to rush forward directly and reason with the demon girl, but in the end he held back.
"Zhan Chen, can you take it?"
"I'll serve!" Zhan Chen forcibly held back these two words from his mouth, if he was not in charge of Lingtian, it meant that he would no longer be able to have rich elixirs to refine the elixir and improve his cultivation in the future.
"As for the director of Lingtian Yuan, I will reappoint it, okay, everyone step down, do whatever you have to do!"
After leaving the hall, Zhan Chen returned to his room, looking at everything familiar in the room, thinking that he was about to leave, he was really a little reluctant.
At this time, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, it turned out to be Li Guihua.
As soon as he met, he smiled and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, congratulations, you have gone one step further." β
"Brother Li, you came here just to chill me, you have been demoted to an inner servant, what's the benefit?" Zhan Chen smiled self-deprecatingly.
Li Guihua smiled mysteriously and said: "Brother, although this chamberlain is small, he is the easiest person to get close to Yin Meiru, and if he gets the trust and favor of that woman, is there anything that can't be done? β
"But I don't like it. β
"Haha, brother, Yin Mei is the best in the world, and men will flock to it, saying that she doesn't like the men who follow her, brother, you are still the first. β
Zhan Chen said solemnly: "She is a person of the Demon Dao, she acts perversely, her methods are cruel, and she is an enemy of us at all. β
"That's what I said......" Li Guihua couldn't find anything to refute his words.
"But brother, you don't have to be discouraged, the inner servant also has the benefits of the inner servant, the most important thing is to be able to learn about many secrets in the Demon Luo Sect, and it is also convenient to act. Li Guihua was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said again.
"Brother Li, if you come to me, don't say anything. Zhan Chen can see it, he is afraid that he has something to ask for himself.
Li Guihua smiled and said: "Brother Zhan is really a smart person, then I won't beat around the bush." β
I saw him take out a white jade token from the Qiankun bag, hand it to Zhan Chen and said, "Brother Zhan, you take this first." β
Zhan Chen took the token and looked at it, and asked, "Brother Li, what is this token?"
"This token is a token of my Righteous Path Alliance, and if you hold this token, you are quite a disciple of the Righteous Path Alliance. β
"Then why did you give it to me?"
"Brother, this is where I ask you, now that you have joined the inner servant, you will often have the opportunity to hear the secrets of the Moluo Sect, and you can often go down the mountain, and I want to leave this Holy Maiden Peak, but it is quite inconvenient to go down the mountain to pass the news, so I hope that brother, you can act as my contact with the mountain." β
"Do you want me to do your righteous path alliance?"
Li Guihua gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! The reason why we are willing to tell you such a big secret is that we value you as a person of insight!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will reject you and even expose you?" Zhan Chen muttered.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid, if the righteous path wants to be revived, it requires us to take a certain risk, anyway, if the East Window incident happens, I will be the only one who will die!" Li Guihua stared at him tightly.
Zhan Chen was moved, still hesitating.
Li Guihua persuaded again: "Brother, if you agree, I can tell you the contact point we have set up in Moluo City, you can go there to learn more, and you will have a deeper understanding of our Righteous Path Alliance." β
Zhan Chen thought silently: "Judging from Li Guihua's eyes, he should be sincere to me, and I should repay the favor when I received his gift." Take 10,000 steps back, I suddenly came to this Demon Luo Sect, I am not familiar with the place, and I also need to find a sheltering force, and if I want to get in touch with the sect again in the future, I am afraid that I will have to rely on this righteous path alliance. β
Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind, so he said: "Okay, I and the Demon Sect are not of the same mind, and I will oppose them in the future." β
"Hahaha, okay! Brother Zhan really understands the matter, I'll tell you our stronghold in Moluo City, that is, in a store called Qingfeng Silk Cloth Village, when you go inside, as long as you take out this token, someone will naturally receive you. β
"Good!"
"Brother Zhan, I'll leave first if I still have something to do!"
After sending Li Guihua away, Zhan Chen hurriedly closed the door and took out Huang Youshu's Qiankun bag from his arms, his eyes full of excitement.
