Chapter 9: Revisiting the Order

On the third day, Zao Wou-Ki and his entourage came to the elegant little building.

A beautiful waitress from the monastery took them up to the second floor, but Shangguan Song, the master of the order, was not there, and Duan Zhende, the person who decided the case, also went out temporarily because of an urgent matter and needed to come back in an hour.

"Then take us to the chief of the tax collector, I heard that we have some tax shortfall this year?"

Every year, the local monastic sect has to pay a certain fee to the monastery as a fee for the administration of the monastery, and the tax collector is in charge of this.

The tax collector's office was close to the other end, and there was a very fat man sitting in it, with a very lewd face, bean-sized eyes and very flexible eyes, and a rat beard, like a large mouse, but Zao Wou-Ki did not despise it at all, and his words and deeds were polite.

The tax man is very official.

"Yes, you still lack sixteen thousand three hundred and twenty-five spirit stones this year!"

"Okay, can I check the logbook?"

"Yes, but there is no room for so many people here, so please ask your men to wait in the corridor!"

Indeed, although the office was not small, there were many people coming, and Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and carefully checked the account books.

"My lord, my tax records in Shanhaimen are okay?"

"Yes, it's okay here!"

Jiye Town is far away from the emperor of the sky, and collecting taxes is the most difficult thing, especially those powerful sects are delaying, leaking, and stealing.

"You see that the Black Dragon Society is much worse, at least eighty percent of the taxes have been evaded!"

"Door master and fellow Daoist, please pay attention to your own taxes, we will deal with the rest!"

"Hey, hey."

About an hour later, Zao Wou-Ki checked the accounts and paid the arrears, and at this time, Duan Zhende, the person who decided the case, also returned, so he went to see Duan Zhende.

After a few polite words, Zao Wou-Ki smiled and said, "Why isn't the Lord here?" Didn't we make an appointment to meet together today? ”

Duan Zhende said: "I'm sorry, the master received a notice from the capital general association last night, and had to rush to the capital overnight for a meeting, entrust me to deal with this matter, there is no problem with the master of the door, right?" ”

Zao Wou-Ki nodded and asked Hu Ming to tell Xue Hui about it.

Duan Zhende spread his hands and said: "Last time, the door master said that we have investigated the verification of the cause of the death of three people in the Black Dragon Society's Mountain Tea Building, and it was indeed because of the brawl that caused the death, and it was caused by the conflict with your Juyi Teahouse, and now you say that the shopkeeper Xue of the Juyi Tea House is the person who deliberately killed the Black Dragon Society's undercover agent in the Mountain Tea Building?" If this is the case, of course you are not responsible, but it is not enough to rely on the spirit stone imprint that has been found, the spirit stone of Kunyang Qianzhuang is used by other sects less, but it is not unused. ”

It's really very difficult to talk about evidence, although Xue Hui is 100% an undercover agent of the Black Dragon Society.

"Besides, no matter what, you're still making trouble in the Black Dragon Society's subordinate mountain tea building, right? Provoke officially recognized regular sects with low-level gangs, and this is the following offense, you"

"When will you order the Lord to come back?" Zao Wou-Ki interrupted unceremoniously.

"Well, three days later."

"Then I'll come back in three days."

Zao Wou-Ki got up and left with an expressionless face, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Back at the Juyi Teahouse, the team of the third senior brother who sent the gift to the east had also completed the task.

"Third child, you report your affairs." Zao Wou-Ki sat in the main seat of the council hall and said.

"The boulder gate accepted the gift and said that he would visit the door another day!"

Jushimen used to be friendly with Shanhaimen, so this move is not surprising.

"Yuan Shuimen received gifts and expressed concern about the affairs of our door and the Black Dragon Society!"

The original water gate is also a friendly sect of Shanhaimen, and the owner of the door is a nine-rank qi refiner.

"The Great British Gang, I didn't accept gifts, but I said that I would visit Shanmen another day!"

"Day by day, no gifts, another day to visit!"

"Yanxinmen, I didn't accept gifts, expressing concern about the evil between my door and the Black Dragon Society!"

There is a real person in charge of words and deeds, and he actually acts like this!

"Panther Gate, refuse to visit!"

This is also one of the real sects, I can't imagine being so timid!

。。。。。。

There are no gifts from Shanhaimen in the back, and the attitude is either polite or unkind.

"Slowly, slowly, how about I want you to personally send a trip to the Raven Gate?"

"Just about to report to the master, the disciple personally brought gifts to the crow gate, the crow gate was very polite, welcomed the disciple to the main hall to drink tea, and feasted the disciples, among which the crow gate master also appeared to entertain the guests, and sent out of the mountain gate at parting."

The Crow Sect is considered a medium-sized sect in Donghai County, quite powerful, and the sect master Qin Tianqi is the only true realm cultivator, and it is indeed very polite for him to show up to see a junior.

"What did the Qin Sect Master say?" Zao Wou-Ki said.

"Report to the door master, what the Qin door master said are all kind words, and he also invited the door master to be a guest at the Sea Crow Gate!"

Zhao Wou-Ki waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this first, how is the situation in Jiye Town?" ”

The third senior brother Xiang Dongfa is also responsible for monitoring the situation in Jiye Town.

"Master, there is a new eight-rank qi refiner in the Black Dragon Society in Jiye Town today, and the others are as usual!"

"In Jiye Town, it seems that there are many high-grade qi refiners of other sects, and I don't know what the purpose of these people is."

The number of qi refiners in the outside world has increased by more than ten, this kind of situation is very rare, although this kind of group of qi refiners without a sect may be ready to go into the mountains and seas to beat monsters, but it is more likely to take advantage of the fire to rob, judging that there is about to be a big battle, and preparing to pick up the items of the defeated party for the purpose, that is, the vultures of the cultivation world, specializing in eating rotting corpses, but they are picking up the corpses of monks.

Most of the gate sects reported earlier are reluctant to accept gifts from Shanhaimen, which is also a bad sign, these sects have many eyeliners in Donghai County, Jiye Town, and are well-informed.

And the crow gate he specifically mentioned before, not his friend, but the closest ally of the Black Dragon Society, he gives gifts every year, just afraid of one day to collide with the Black Dragon Society, there is a buffer joint, but now this season is not right, Shanhaimen has fallen out with the Black Dragon Society, the two have become a fire and water, the dignified Crow Gate real realm master personally received a junior has done it, it should be a hall master to receive a gift, and then send people away, there must be a demon when things go wrong, so he suspects that the other party wants to deliberately stabilize him, Thinking of the rumor that the two real people of the Black Dragon Society were about to leave the customs, the bad feeling was even more obvious, but there was nothing to say in front of the disciples.

"Pack your bags and leave Jiye Town today!"

As soon as the disciples were stunned, they could no longer purchase cultivation supplies when they left Jiye Town, and there were many inconveniences, and they returned to the monotonous life of the mountain gate.

"Master, you and the monastic council have agreed to meet with them in three days." Hu Ming reminded.

"This doesn't matter to him, it's good that we've already been there, it's his business that he's not there, the situation has changed temporarily, so I have to talk about it later."

The second senior brother Sang Tianqiong, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "Master, time is too urgent, and the disciple will have time to dismantle all the defensive formations of the Juyi Teahouse in the future. ”

"Then immediately dismantle the array treasure, and the rest of the waste will be wasted!" Zao Wou-Ki said.

Is this an urgent matter? The disciples looked at each other.

"It's just that when you go back to the mountains, why do you feel like you're going to die?" Zao Wou-Ki looked at everyone and scolded
