The statements of the three Huatings were expected by everyone. As powerful as the Tianling Alliance, there are actually several factions within it.
There are the leader faction, the elders faction, and the neutral faction.
Sanhuating is the proper alliance leader faction, and the statements of the three of them are undoubtedly explaining what the alliance leader means.
But even though the meaning is so clear, Xiao Chenghuan still has no intention of giving up.
He said softly: "Wei Huating, it doesn't matter who gave the order. It's against the rules to cross the hidden pavilion and do this in private."
Regardless of the relationship between the elders of the Yin Pavilion, the leader of the alliance, and all the Huatings, as members of the Tianling Alliance and as a generation of powerful spirit-slayers, even if they have no real power, they definitely have the right to participate in many things.
Even the right to decide.
Matters such as cleaning up the Tianling black market and politics within the Tianling Alliance need to be discussed with the elders of the Yin Pavilion at any time. Doing it in private is obviously a violation of the rules.
Moreover, such bad rules will not only cause some of them to suffer a lot of losses secretly, but will also directly affect Yinge's reputation among the top leaders of the alliance.
This is one of the few rights they have, how can it be taken away so easily?
After listening to Xiao Chenghuan's words, Qiu Jinlai smiled honestly and said: "Elder Xiao is serious, our trip is not to go beyond the hidden pavilion. But according to Fang Zhi's investigation, the operations behind this black market are quite involved. Some of the transactions are only
I’m afraid it’s related to the families behind some of the elders in Yin Pavilion!”
The falling sound is a long sigh, which looks light and airy, but actually has a hidden edge.
Among the six elders who arrived at Yin Pavilion, several immediately narrowed their eyes.
Everyone knows that there are shadows of some top families behind the Tianling black market, but through the ages, almost no alliance leader or Huating would speak openly about it.
The reason is very simple, because behind those families are the Yin Ge elders, and the Yin Ge elders all have cultivation levels in the spirit-slaying realm.
It all boils down to four words.
Strength is respected.
As long as you reach that level, even the leader of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance will not dare to move easily, otherwise once the conflict intensifies, it may cause turmoil in the Heavenly Spirit. And this is what the demons want to see most.
There are already foreign troubles, how can we dare to create internal troubles?
This is something that many of the higher-ups in the Tianling Alliance feel helpless about.
Today, in Qiu Jinlai, Hua Ting, who is responsible for the overall financial operation of the Tianling Alliance, actually said this clearly!
Changsun Gong stared at Qiu Jinlai: "Does Qiu Huating think that we are involved in the black market?"
Qiu Jinlai smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Elder Changsun might as well listen to the results of the investigation first."
"In."
In the Governor's seat below, Jin Fangzhi stood up and said with a serious expression: "According to the investigation by subordinates, there are a total of 45 large-scale human trafficking bases in the thirty-six counties of Tianling, and 58 large-scale human trafficking bases."
Illegal pharmaceutical bases, fifty-one large-scale illegal weapon-making machines. In addition, there are hundreds of large and small drug trafficking establishments, cult organizations, robber teams, etc.!"
"These gangs seem to be from different places and have nothing to do with each other. In fact, they are secretly connected and even have loyal targets. For example, in Yuezhou, the four princes of Yuezhou have all obtained rich profits in the black market.
Benefits."
Everyone looked at Wen Heming and the others. None of them looked good at this time. This bad feeling was not due to shame, but because they were in really bad condition. Their faces were a little pale, and their breath did not look like a person.
Normal luck is as stable as a strong person.
Jin Fangzhi continued: "Except for the four princes of Yuezhou, other counties also have this situation. Even among the twenty-seven governors, there are also people who have been exposed to the black market behind the scenes. In addition,
We also found traces of the Changsun, Xiao and Xie clans."
Speaking of this, both Changsun Gong and Xiao Chenghuan turned cold. Is Jin Fangzhi planning to slap them in the face in front of many senior Tianling officials?
Jin Fangzhi didn't seem to feel their gaze. He just waved his hand and light and shadow appeared: "This is all evidence."
The things on the light and shadow only appeared for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared. Qiu Jinlai took all these things into his bag and blamed: "Fang Zhi, I just asked you to explain the situation, why did you take out these things?"<
/p>
Jin Fangzhi lowered his head and apologized without any regret: "I know I was wrong."
Qiu Jinlai waved his hand, turned to Xiao Chenghuan and said, "Just look at what you just saw, don't take it seriously."
Such hypocritical words made Xiao Chenghuan and Changsun Gong's eyes twitch.
The evidence has been brought out, why don't people take it seriously? If you really don't want people to see it, why not just put it away, but wait for everyone to look at it for a while before accepting it.
Everyone here is a strong person above luck, and has long had the ability to remember things with a photograph.
Qiu Jinlai didn't care what they were thinking, and just continued: "But you have also seen that since the families behind several elders are suspected of being involved, even if it is just a suspicion, they need to avoid suspicion."
"Qiu Huating, I actually have a question that I would like to ask."
This time, it was no longer Xiao Chenghuan, but a man who looked quite young and had quite handsome features.
Xie Ze, one of the elders of Yin Pavilion. The Xie clan mentioned by Jin Fang is the family he is in charge of.
Xie Ze has a very high status and reputation in the Tianling Alliance, because he has extremely high cultivation talent. He has become a powerful spirit-slayer when he was only a few hundred years old. Now he is only over a thousand years old, but in
Among all the elders in Yin Pavilion, his level is enough to rank among the top three.
Even Mr. Wei can't guarantee that he is stronger than him.
However, it is precisely because of his high talent that he thinks highly of himself. As a rising star, he once openly challenged the leader of the alliance. The result can be known from his current status as the elder of the Yin Pavilion.
Among the many factions in the Tianling Alliance, Xie Ze is an exception. He is neither an affiliate of the party that lost the alliance, nor a neutral faction, nor a supporter of the alliance leader.
He is self-centered and firmly believes that he will become the next leader of the alliance, and has been working hard towards this goal.
Two hundred years ago, in order to prove himself, he once broke into the Demon Continent alone, where he made trouble and escaped unharmed, which made many people in the alliance admire him.
When he heard him speak, even Qiu Jinlai's tone became much more solemn: "Elder Xie, just ask."
Xie Zedao: "How should we deal with those people related to the black market?"
Some of those people may be the descendants of the Yinge elders. Those people can want to be punished, but they must also be prepared to accept revenge.
This kind of revenge does not mean that the elders will rely on their own powerful realm to bully others, and in these old families that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years or even longer, who has not revealed any dirty information?
You can arrest my people, but don’t you have any leverage in my hands?
The Tianling Continent is far higher than other continents in terms of legal attainments. Here, even a powerful spirit-slaying expert cannot do whatever he wants.
Qiu Jinlai was silent for a moment, and the next second Wei Guiyi spoke: "Of course, punishment will be given according to the seriousness of the matter. Do any of the elders have any opinions?"
Xie Ze raised his head and said: "I have no objection to punishment, but if someone from the Xie clan does something bad, I hope I can handle it personally."
Mr. Wei smiled lightly: "This is natural."
Seeing that Xie Ze actually agreed, Xiao Chenghuan and Grand Sun Gong looked a little unhappy, and they turned their attention to the other three elders.
Two of them showed no response, and only one of them shook his head helplessly at them.
Inside the Yin Pavilion, everything is not monolithic.
Xiao Chenghuan snorted coldly and said: "There is nothing wrong with punishing in accordance with the law, but in the past, major tasks such as cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil were usually handled by Shaoguangtang, but this time it was completely handed over to Lingyingtang, which only has three thousand disciples.
Isn’t it also against the rules to take full responsibility?”
Ruo Ganyu looked calmly and said: "The rules are all set by people. This time Lingying Hall has done a good job in eradicating evil in Jiangming County, so there is nothing wrong with leaving the anti-crime matter to them. It would be a shame if this task were handed over to Shaoguang Hall.
The hearts of three thousand inner disciples."
She paused and then added: "If Elder Xiao feels it is inappropriate, I can ask Lingying Hall to hand over some tasks to Shaoguang Hall, how about that?"
Handing over some tasks, in other words, means that Lingying Hall assigns some tasks to Shaoguangtang. Such an allocation will create a primary-secondary relationship between Lingyingtang and Shaoguangtang, with Lingying as the primary and Shaoguang as the secondary.
This is something Shaoguangtang will never accept.
Therefore, when Xiao Chenghuan heard this sentence, there was obvious anger in his eyebrows: "Thank you Ruo Huating for your kindness, this is unnecessary."
The voice sounded somewhat gritty.
Everyone present understands very well why Xiao Chenghuan spoke for Shaoguangtang, because Xiao Gufeng, one of the deputy directors of Shaoguangtang, is a descendant of Xiao Chenghuan.
At this point in the meeting, the situation is actually quite clear. Sanhuating is determined to rectify Tianling, and for this reason, it does not hesitate to offend several elders.
Even if the elders of Yin Pavilion have a backup plan, they can only suffer this loss at this moment.
Moreover, everyone knows that Lingyingtang was founded by the leader of the alliance a hundred years ago. In just the past hundred years, a large-scale sweep of the Tianling black market was carried out. Anyone can see the fishiness in it.
There is no doubt that the leader of the alliance wants to increase the influence of Lingyingtang in the Tianling Alliance!
However, the meeting did not end there.
Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Mr. Wei glanced at Gui Governor Ye Chunyan. Ye Chunyan immediately stood up and said: "Three Huatings, elders, I have one more thing to report."
"What happened?"
Changsun Gong looked at Ye Chunyan with a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Ye Chun extended his hand to grasp the void. In the twisted space, figures gradually appeared. When some governors and princes present saw these people, they were slightly shocked in their hearts and their expressions changed.
If Yun Xi were here, she would definitely be able to find that she had met several of these people.
Wang Yan of the Guyu County Prince's Mansion, and Liu Ping, the Lord of Fang Yue City.
Yun Xi had heard that these two people had disappeared mysteriously, but now they were brought by Ye Chunyan.
Ye Chunyan pointed at these people and said: "Three Huatings, elders, these are some corrupt officials caught by the subordinates during this period. Through soul searching, we found that the instigators behind them were the several governors present.
And the prince."
Old Man Wei turned around and said, "Speak clearly."
Ye Chunyan glanced around and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "According to the investigation, the Tianlingkang family secretly opened two pharmaceutical bases, two human trafficking bases, and a weapons manufacturing base. The prince of Guyu County created no less than ten cults in Guyu County.
Organization..."
The charges were listed one after another, and the names of families and county kings were read out, causing the expressions of many people present to change drastically.
And the two elders, Xiao Chenghuan and Changsun Gong, whose expressions are also becoming more and more ugly, are because among the governors of Gui and the princes that Ye Chunyan read out, there are their descendants.
The three Huatings listened to these accusations, and their expressions became more and more serious. It was not until Ye Chunyan paused that Ruo Ganyu asked in a deep voice: "Are these news true?"
Ye Chunyan said: "My subordinates have investigated with the former Governor Gui and Governor Tan Gui, and everything is true!"
Yuan Jiang and Tan Tian stood up together: "If what Huating and Ye Guidu said is true, we will collect the personal and material evidence, and you can take a look."
"Take it out."
Under the calm tone, there seems to be an undercurrent surging.
The three governors immediately took out the physical evidence they had collected. As for the witnesses, these were the ones brought by Ye Chunyan.
Ruo Ganyu looked at these physical evidences, and a cold expression gradually appeared on her beautiful face. She looked at Kang Bodan, the disciple she had mentored many times, and asked: "Bodan, what is happening behind the scenes of the Kang family?"
Do you know anything about it?"
Kang Bodan stood up, lowered his head, and did not dare to lie: "Teacher, disciple... I know."
Ruo Ganyu sighed softly, and anyone could hear the helplessness and determination in it.
"In this case, starting from today, you will temporarily step down as Governor and enter the Ruoling Palace to reflect for twenty years."
Kang Bodan raised his head suddenly, but when he met Ruo Ganyu's cold eyes, he finally lowered his eyes: "Disciple Zun..."
"Wait!"
It was Xiao Chenghuan who spoke out to stop Kang Bodan. He sternly said to Ruo Ganyu: "Ruo Huating, it is not your decision to remove a governor from his post!"
Ruo Ganyu's eyes squinted slightly: "If I dismiss my disciple, do you still have to have the final say?"
Xiao Chenghuan said: "Throughout the past dynasties, the selection and removal of Gui governors have always involved Yin Ge's participation!"
Ruo Ganyu smiled, her smile was cold and beautiful.
"What do you want? A vote?"
"This is natural."
Xiao Chenghuan was noncommittal.
"Then let's vote."
Ruo Ganyu's promise was so straightforward that Xiao Chenghuan was stunned for a moment.
But it was too late to regret at this time. When he was about to speak, he saw Ruo Ganyu said first: "Then we will vote now. All the governors and princes who have direct relations with Tianling Black Market will step down from their posts according to the situation."
Hold a position."
"Wait, why is it everyone?" Changsun Gong interrupted.
"What? Are you only punishing my disciples?"
Ruo Ganyu's words left Changsun Gong speechless. Indeed, if punishment is needed, Kang Bo alone should not be punished like this.
He thought for a moment and said no more. Instead, he looked at the elders and said: "Since the other two and the leader are not here, the nine of us will vote. According to the rules, when the number of supporters reaches two-thirds, the proposal
Only then can you pass."
