Novelink #241 - I have a plan
#241 - I have a plan
Liang Jin had discovered the existence of Han Suyan and An Lansheng long ago.
However, he was preoccupied with dealing with Zhong Daishan, so he ignored them.
Now, his roar and glare startled both of them, causing them to fall from the wall.
A moment later, the two nervously approached Liang Jin.
An Lansheng was alright, as he had already witnessed Liang Jin's power before.
But Han Suyan, looking at the tall and strong Liang Jin in front of her, felt a tightness in her chest and her breathing inexplicably became difficult.
“Senior Brother Chief, we…”
The two had just opened their mouths.
Liang Jin raised his hand, stopping them from speaking.
He simply said:
“Take Wang Xu and Zhong Daishan, it's time for us to go back.”
He didn't need to hear their explanation; he knew that these two were not in the same group as Wang Xu and the others.
An Lansheng couldn't help but ask:
“Are we going back to Bibo City?”
Liang Jin replied:
“We're going straight back to Hualong Island; our mission is complete.”
An Lansheng and Han Suyan couldn't help but exchange glances.
They had followed Liang Jin on this trip without doing anything; they had only stayed in Bibo City, eating and drinking well for a few days, and the mission was already complete?
Confused, they could only do as Liang Jin instructed.
The three of them, along with the heavily injured Wang Xu and Zhong Daishan, headed towards the harbor docks.
… … … …
Hualong Island.
Inside the main hall.
Yu Linglong sat listlessly on the throne, listening to the reports of the past few days from the people below.
Although she appeared lazy, her exceptional grace could not be concealed.
Her elegant, slender phoenix eyes were somewhat distracted, proving that her thoughts had already drifted far away.
Liang Jin…
She had been paying attention to this guy recently.
According to the reports from the people of Bibo City, Liang Jin had left on his own after arriving in Bibo City, and no one knew where he had gone.
Yu Linglong was full of anticipation for this.
This guy had better hurry up and sell out Hualong Sect to the forces behind him.
Once he could make some progress, Yu Linglong wouldn't mind rewarding him handsomely.
These days had passed, and even if that guy was stupid, he should have done something by now, right?
Just as Yu Linglong was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a disciple rushed into the hall, reporting in a panic:
“Sect Leader, something bad has happened!”
“Senior Brother Xiong Ba has injured Wan Xu, the deacon in charge of purchasing medicinal herbs outside the island, and Zhong Daishan, the master of Hundred Flowers Hall!”
“Now, Senior Brother Xiong Ba is bringing them, along with two new disciples, towards the main hall!”
Hearing this, the elders in the hall were greatly surprised.
Why did he end up beating his own people?
Especially…
That Zhong Daishan, the master of Hundred Flowers Hall, was a fourth-grade martial artist; her strength was far above the fifth-grade Liang Jin.
Could Liang Jin even beat her?
On the throne.
Yu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight.
This guy really took action!
Now Yu Linglong couldn't help but look forward to what surprises Liang Jin would bring her.
Soon.
A group of people walked into the hall.
It was Liang Jin, Han Suyan, and An Lansheng coming to report.
They threw two heavily injured martial artists onto the ground; it was Wang Xu and Zhong Daishan.
Hiss!
When everyone saw the miserable state of Zhong Daishan, they couldn't help but gasp.
This was… too terrible!
Zhong Daishan's limbs were now only left with one leg.
This could no longer be described as being injured; it could simply be said that she had been cruelly crippled!
Immediately.
Elder Qingnang was the first to stand up, staring coldly at Liang Jin and asking:
“Xiong Ba, what exactly do you mean by turning my people into this state?”
“If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, then I will never let you off!”
Elder Qingnang was in charge of Hundred Flowers Hall, and Zhong Daishan was the hall master he personally selected.
Deacon Wang Xu was also equivalent to his subordinate.
Now that his subordinates were injured and crippled, he naturally had to stand up for them.
Before Liang Jin could speak.
Li Xueqing jumped out first:
“What's there to explain?”
“This Xiong Ba harms his fellow disciples with cruel methods; it's simply appalling!”
“According to the sect rules, his martial arts should be abolished, and he should be expelled from the sect!”
On the throne.
Yu Linglong also frowned slightly.
This guy, hitting people was one thing, but did he have to make them so miserable and bloody?
She could only ask:
“Xiong Ba, if there's any inside story, you should tell us.”
In an instant, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Liang Jin.
They also wanted to know why Liang Jin had acted so cruelly?
Han Suyan and An Lansheng, facing the terrifying aura of so many strong individuals, had long been overwhelmed and knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to breathe.
Only Liang Jin stood upright, raising his voice and replying:
“Reporting to the sect leader, this Zhong Daishan and Wang Xu colluded with each other to embezzle the medicinal herbs purchased by the Hundred Flowers Hall in large quantities.”
“As a result, the sect's Zizhi Hearts are almost exhausted, and many disciples will face a situation where no Dragon Scale Pills are available.”
“These two villains, seeing that the matter could not be concealed, planned to deliberately frame the Chao Yin Martial Pavilion, falsely claiming that the medicinal herbs were all destroyed by the Chao Yin Martial Pavilion, thereby attempting to cover up the deficit and escape responsibility.”
“This disciple was representing the sect leader in investigating this matter, and these two villains actually attempted to silence me!”
“They not only wanted to slaughter the innocent Chao Yin Martial Pavilion, but also wanted to kill this disciple!”
“This disciple had no choice but to defend himself, take down these two villains, and bring them back to the sect to be dealt with by the sect leader!”
Liang Jin finished speaking.
Throughout the hall, everyone showed surprise.
Until now, they knew nothing about what Liang Jin had said.
At this time, Liang Jin's words were like a blockbuster falling on the scene, shocking everyone to the point where they couldn't react for a while.
Elder Qingnang also looked equally astonished.
Obviously, he also didn't know anything about this matter. After all, he basically left the affairs of Hundred Flowers Hall to Zhong Daishan, and Zhong Daishan had never made any mistakes.
At this moment.
Li Xueqing snorted coldly:
“Xiong Ba, do you want to slander people with empty words?”
Liang Jin glanced at Li Xueqing sideways and said coldly:
“Elder Li says I have no proof?”
“Then dare to bet with this disciple one more time?”
Li Xueqing's face turned extremely ugly in an instant upon hearing this.
In her previous bet with Liang Jin, she not only lost all face but also lost her position as the Law Enforcement Elder.
At this moment, she was merely taking the opportunity to ridicule Liang Jin, just to satisfy her verbal desires.
She knew nothing about this matter, so how could she dare to continue betting with Liang Jin?
Liang Jin immediately snorted coldly:
“If you don’t dare to bet, then shut your mouth.”
“You are still an elder, please don’t be like a shrew scolding in the streets, only knowing how to make unfounded accusations.”
These words made Li Xueqing's face turn ashen with anger.
After all, she was an elder of the Hualong Sect. Once the Dayu Restoration is successful in the future, she will inevitably be among the meritorious officials of the restoration and be granted the title of King!
But this Liang Jin actually compared her to a shrew scolding in the streets?
This is simply a great humiliation to her!
“You!”
Li Xueqing instantly raised her eyebrows, her almond eyes widened, and she was about to argue with Liang Jin.
Yu Linglong didn't have time to listen to the two of them arguing, she said in a deep voice:
“Alright!”
“Xiong Ba, do you have any evidence for this matter?”
Liang Jin replied:
“There is too much evidence to count.”
“The Sect Leader only needs to send a trusted person to investigate in Bibo City and the Chao Yin Martial Pavilion, and there will be gains.”
“Even on this island, you only need to check the inventory of medicinal materials in the Hundred Flowers Hall to know the truth.”
Yu Linglong was still thinking about who to send to investigate.
Qingnang Elder was the first to stand up.
He glanced at Wang Xu and Zhong Daishan on the ground, only to see them hanging their heads and not saying a word, their faces ashen.
This made Qingnang Elder roughly understand a few things in his heart.
Immediately, he requested Yu Linglong:
“Please allow me to investigate this matter myself!”
“I know that I should avoid suspicion, but this time it is my subordinates who have made a mistake, and I must investigate it thoroughly!”
Qingnang Elder's tone was sincere.
If he didn't investigate this matter clearly himself, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Yu Linglong saw that no one else volunteered, so she waved her hand:
“Granted.”
Immediately, Qingnang Elder flew away.
And the meeting in the main hall was temporarily adjourned.
Half a day passed.
Qingnang Elder finally returned, and the regular meeting of the main hall resumed.
Li Xueqing couldn't wait to ask:
“Qingnang Elder, how is the investigation?”
“Is that Xiong Ba maliciously slandering?”
“If so, don’t worry, I will definitely stand by your side!”
Qingnang Elder had a livid expression on his face. He ignored Li Xueqing's words and came to the front of the hall and knelt down to Yu Linglong on the stage.
“Sect Leader, this subordinate has failed to supervise, resulting in the emergence of two parasites in the Hualong Sect!”
“Things are indeed as Xiong Ba said, Wang Xu and Zhong Daishan, these two parasites and rats, are really audacious!”
“They actually privately resold the precious medicinal materials purchased by the sect, lining their own pockets.”
“Now the sect's medicinal materials are seriously deficient, and this subordinate cannot escape the blame!”
“Please… Sect Leader, punish me!”
Qingnang Elder was filled with shame as he spoke.
Li Xueqing opened her mouth wide, obviously not expecting this matter to be true.
All the elders were also taken aback. Who would have thought that serious corruption had unknowingly developed within the sect?
On the throne.
Yu Linglong's eyes narrowed, and she glanced at Liang Jin unhappily.
She sent this guy to Dongzhou to make it easier for him to sell out the Hualong Sect.
Why did this guy also clean up the two parasites in the Hualong Sect?
How did he do things?
Aren't the more of these parasites and rats, the better?
Although Yu Linglong was unhappy, she still said to Qingnang Elder:
“Qingnang Elder, just trace back the deficient medicinal materials, why bother like this?”
“Get up quickly.”
Many elders also nodded in agreement.
The loss of medicinal materials is just a matter of money, it's not a big deal.
Since this matter was done by the people below, then it's fine to punish the people below, it won't punish an elder.
However, Qingnang Elder remained kneeling on the ground.
He was full of regret and sighed dejectedly:
“It would be fine if it were just ordinary medicinal materials that were deficient.”
“But the Zizhi Heart needed to refine the Dragon Scale Pill was also completely depleted by these two dog thieves!”
“Now that the harvesting season for Zizhi Heart has passed, it is very difficult to buy on the market, and it is impossible to make up for the deficiency in a short period of time.”
“Which means… for a long time, even a whole year, the disciples in the sect will have no Dragon Scale Pills to use!”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.
All the elders finally began to pay attention to it.
If the Dragon Scale Pills in the sect are suddenly interrupted for a long time, then the middle and lower-level disciples of the Hualong Sect may be unstable.
Even if the Hualong Sect wants to recruit talents in the future, the effect will be greatly reduced.
This matter does not seem to have much impact in the short term, but if it continues for a long time, it will inevitably shake people's hearts!
Especially now that the Hualong Sect is facing the situation in the world and is about to make a big difference.
At this time, how can the cultivation speed of the disciples in the sect be slowed down?
This will indirectly affect the sect's great cause!
Only Yu Linglong on the throne had her eyes light up.
See, something happened to the Hualong Sect again!
Good job!
If there are more things like this, won't the Hualong Sect be finished?
Yu Linglong was secretly delighted in her heart, but on the surface, she showed a concerned and eager expression:
“Now, what should we do?”
Qingnang Elder sighed, obviously he had no way to solve it.
As for the other elders, they were not responsible for this area, and they were even more helpless.
At the critical moment.
Liang Jin stood up:
“Sect Leader, don't worry!”
“I have a plan that can solve the problem!”
He finally got another chance to make a contribution!
