Chapter 36: A Turning Point
Lao Meng said quickly: "President Mingjian, that Yang Palace deacon didn't know how to know that I had a craft of camouflaging rough stones, so he asked me to help him forge it. But I didn't dare to do such a taboo thing if I had the courage to do it, so I decisively refused, but who knew that Yang Gong would threaten me in every way and make things difficult. President you said, how can I, an unknown stone master, withstand the persecution of the deacon of the Duobao Sect, and finally I had to give in when I was forced to do so, and I begged the president to make the decision for me!"
"This ......," Lao Meng's self-description made President Lu fall into a deep groan.
The hall master Cui on the side obviously didn't expect Lao Meng to say such nonsense about referring to deer as horses, but his nonsense was quite ear-catching.
Because Lao Meng's statement is equivalent to being a tainted witness, it is directly confirmed that the original stone fraud is Yang Gong's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Duobaozong, all the pickled things are done by Yang Gong alone, and the in the basin is eaten by him alone, Lao Meng's mending knife is quite beautiful!
President Lu obviously also fell into deep thought, if he agreed with what Lao Meng said, then the chain of evidence for the falsification would be complete, which was both reasonable and reasonable, Yang Gong took the blame alone, and then this troublesome matter could be revealed without flaws.
But in this way, there will be a problem, that is, Lao Meng's culpability will be correspondingly reduced, after all, coercion and fraud and active fraud for profit are completely two concepts. And if Lao Meng gets rid of his crimes, then President Lu's previous plan may be partially in vain, which President Lu is extremely unwilling to see.
"Hall Master Cui, has Yang Gong ever confessed to coercing Meng Yutang?" President Lu was a little undecided, and wanted to hear Hall Master Cui's opinion.
Hall Master Cui pondered for a moment, he was very clear about President Lu's plan, but for him, it was imperative to expose the fraud as soon as possible, so he opened his mouth and said: "Because of the urgency of time, Yang Gong was not interrogated in detail, but judging from the meaning revealed in his words, what Master Meng said should be true. ”
President Lu nodded, knowing that Hall Master Cui had recognized Lao Meng's report, and even the master had called him, so he should have been spared.
Okay too!
President Lu made a decision and solemnly spoke: "Master Meng, it is true that you participated in the fraud, considering that you were coerced
ingredients, can be lightly dealt with, but punishment is inevitable after all. ”
Lao Meng heard the meaning of the president's words, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, and his old life is saved.
Wiping a handful of tears, Lao Meng clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Let the president dispose of it." ”
President Lu nodded: "Considering your age, you won't be punished much, and you will be grounded for five years!"
Lao Meng was stunned, not that he felt that this punishment was too light or too heavy, but he felt that it was somewhat strange that such a non-governmental organization as the Stone Master Association wanted to punish people for grounding, and he had never heard of the Stone Master Association having a precedent of punishing people for grounding.
There must be a demon when things go wrong! Something must be wrong!
Something is wrong.
The first person to react was Elder Chen of the Hidden Sword Sect!
"President Lu, the Stone Master Association has just recommended Master Meng to be the resident stone master of the Hongtou Mountain Mine, but it seems inappropriate to ban his feet when he turns his head, right?"
"Huh?" President Lu was stunned: "Master Meng is a member of the Stone Master Association, he made a mistake, why is it wrong for our association to punish him internally in this way?"
"President Lu, Master Meng is now the resident stone master of my Hongtou Mountain Mine, is it inappropriate for your association to unilaterally punish him?" Elder Chen's face was serious.
President Lu shook his head and said, "Elder Chen, you should know very well that according to the agreement reached by the various sects, the remuneration of the resident stone masters is paid by the mines, but their status is only subordinate to the Stone Master Association, and they have no subordinate relationship with the mines and the sects. ”
Elder Chen narrowed his eyes: "Okay, I won't argue with you, I just said that you forbade his feet, and who should taste the rough stones in our mine?"
Chairman Lu replied lightly: "When Master Meng's grounding period expires, he will naturally go to Hongtoushan Mine to take up his post." ”
"Five years at the end of the lockdown period?" Elder Chen smiled coldly: "The stones in our mine have been piled up in an entire mountain col, and you still want us to wait for five years?
President Lu shook his head: "How can it be as exaggerated as Elder Chen said! There is no stone master, at most, it is just not to sell gambling stones, and it is enough to disassemble all the original stones."
Elder Chen snorted angrily: "Dismantle it all, the part of the profits that was lost, Pinshi."
The division association will give me the Hidden Sword Sect supplement?"
President Lu said coldly: "The Stone Master Association does not have that obligation!"
Elder Chen forcibly suppressed his anger: "I don't raise the bar with you, you can reassign a resident stone master to me!"
President Lu shook his head: "There is no idle stone master available in the association for the time being. ”
Elder Chen looked around, saw the trembling old Ding head at a glance, and then said, "The first one was grounded by you, and you can send the second one to me!"
President Lu still shook his head: "Only the first place in the exchange meeting can become a resident, this is a rule, it cannot be broken!"
"The rules of fart!" Elder Chen burst out: "I don't need you to send it, I'll hire it myself!"
President Lu sneered: "If the mine does not use the stone tasters recommended by the association, all the chambers of commerce under the association will prohibit the sale of all the rough stones produced in this mine." ”
"You ......" Elder Chen trembled with anger: "Have you made up your mind to pit my Hidden Sword Sect for five years?"
President Lu smiled: "What am I doing in the Hidden Sword Gate? It's just that rules are rules, and they can't be accommodated." ”
Elder Chen said hatefully, "If it is the Duobao Sect that encounters this kind of thing, then you can be accommodating?"
President Lu's face turned pale: "Elder Chen said cautiously! Although the old man was employed in the Duobao Mine, he has always belonged to the Stone Master Association, and he absolutely treats all sects equally!"
"That's a nice thing to say!" Elder Chen flicked his robe sleeves: "Don't think that no one knows where your advanced Yuanying antiques came from!"
Elder Chen's words are just heart-wrenching.
Where did the antiques come from? No matter how you listen to the meaning of his words, it is that the antiques that President Lu has promoted to are given by the Duobao Sect!
This is definitely the number one taboo for the president of the Stone Taster Association!
Sure enough, when President Lu heard this, his face immediately changed greatly, and he no longer cared about his appearance and demeanor, his beard was open, and he shouted angrily: "You dare to say it again?"
Elder Chen clenched his fists, hesitated for a long time, and finally took a breath of relief, and coldly dropped a sentence: "This matter is not over, you will have trouble when you turn around!"
After Elder Chen said this, he strode away from the scene, but before leaving, he glanced at Lao Ding's head with a vague look, as if he had a deep meaning.
