#165 - Pojia County Magistrate
Last night, Yu Linglong suppressed the matter of Li Xueqing's poisoning in order to protect Liang Qizhi.
But now, Li Xueqing's bet was made by herself.
Yu Linglong had also advised her.
Who told Li Xueqing not to listen!
On the other side.
Li Xueqing's face indeed turned extremely unsightly.
She glared at Liang Jin:
"You… You…"
Li Xueqing really never expected that Rong Guang was actually an undercover agent!
Now, her original merit of recommendation has also become the crime of misjudgment.
Not only will she be held responsible, but even the Tan family will be punished.
That's all secondary.
The most important thing is the bet!
According to the bet, she has to resign from the position of Law Enforcement Elder!
Once power has been obtained and enjoyed.
It's hard to let go.
How could Li Xueqing be willing to give it up?
She hurriedly looked at Yu Linglong, hoping that Yu Linglong could speak for her.
As long as the Sect Leader is willing to give Liang Jin some compensation like last night and suppress this matter.
Then Li Xueqing's position as Law Enforcement Elder can still be preserved!
However.
Yu Linglong's gaze wandered around, just not meeting Li Xueqing's eyes.
I can't see!
I just can't see!
Why would Yu Linglong be willing to help Li Xueqing again?
It would be best to let Xiong Ba get rid of all the elders, so that no one would stop Yu Linglong from gaining freedom!
"Sect Leader…"
At this moment, Li Xueqing's mood was extremely complicated.
She was disappointed.
But she was not disappointed with Yu Linglong, but with herself.
At this time, Li Xueqing was exceptionally clear-headed.
She knew that the Sect Leader had already done enough.
Otherwise, just the matter of poisoning Liang Jin last night, the Sect Leader could have removed her from the position of Law Enforcement Elder.
But the Sect Leader had already protected her once.
Today's bet was set by Li Xueqing herself.
In addition, the Tan family recommended a traitor, and Li Xueqing's misjudgment almost harmed the Hualong Sect.
"The Sect Leader… is probably completely disappointed in me."
"Good! Xiong Ba, you are very good!"
"This time, I lost."
"I couldn't beat you, I am willing to admit defeat!"
"I admit defeat, but I don't accept you!"
"I will continue to stare at you, sooner or later, I will expose your wolfish ambitions to the world!"
The elders all shook their heads slightly.
Liang Jin's unknown origin is indeed a stain.
But other than that, he has not done anything to damage the interests of the sect.
Instead, he continues to make contributions.
This Li Xueqing is too serious.
Liang Jin just sneered.
Why should he pay attention to the mad barking of a loser?
Li Xueqing then turned around and saluted Yu Linglong:
"Sect Leader, your subordinate fulfills the bet and resigns from the position of Law Enforcement Elder."
"It is your subordinate's incompetence that has disappointed the Sect Leader's expectations."
Yu Linglong thought to herself, 'Good riddance!'
But on her face, she still showed a look of regret.
She sighed and said:
"Forget it, Elder Li will temporarily be an ordinary elder, and I will not arrange a new position for you for the time being."
"You should also take this time to calm down."
Li Xueqing's heart trembled when she heard this.
Calm down…
Yes, she should really calm down.
In the years that she has been the Law Enforcement Elder of the Hualong Sect, she was indeed conscientious and dedicated at the beginning.
But gradually, she has also changed.
I don't know if it was power that corrupted her, or if power aroused the desires that she already had in her heart.
She began to use power to play tricks.
Even when her nephew Tan Jian was doing whatever he wanted in the sect, she repeatedly condoned him.
In the end, Tan Jian caused a catastrophe, was abolished his martial arts, and was expelled from the sect.
It was also because she was fighting for the sake of anger that she lost the calmness and vigilance that a Law Enforcement Elder should have, so that the spies of the Six Doors infiltrated without being noticed.
"Sect Leader, your subordinate understands."
"Your subordinate will definitely calm down…"
After Li Xueqing said these words, it was as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
She had nothing to say about the Sect Leader's decision.
But when Li Xueqing turned her head to look at Liang Jin, a surge of anger still rose in her heart.
She wants to calm down.
But this does not mean that she will not contribute to the sect.
For the great cause of the Hualong Sect to restore the Dayu Dynasty, she must eliminate some hidden dangers.
This Liang Jin is the biggest hidden danger!
He has repeatedly made great contributions these days, and his limelight is in full swing.
But the more this is the case, the more Li Xueqing will not trust him.
She even feels more and more terrible about this person!
This person has only come to the Hualong Sect for a short time, but he has gained the trust of the Sect Leader, and even the attitude of the elders towards him is rapidly changing.
If this continues, the entire Hualong Sect will obey him.
No matter what decision he makes, everyone will think it is natural.
And once at a critical moment, if this person has ulterior motives, then he will inevitably bring the Hualong Sect to a place of eternal doom.
In Li Xueqing's heart, she couldn't help but secretly make up her mind:
"Xiong Ba, as long as I am here for a day, I am destined to be the one who stops you!"
Everyone else is blinded by this fellow.
But Li Xueqing will never be!
What's more, Li Xueqing and him have an irreconcilable hatred!
Yu Linglong waved her hand:
"Everything, continue."
What she was talking about was the matter of recruiting new disciples.
If it weren't for the fact that all the new disciples would have to perform the apprenticeship ceremony later, Yu Linglong would have wanted to leave here.
Today is really too boring.
If it weren't for finally getting rid of a Law Enforcement Elder, Yu Linglong would have wanted to leave in a huff.
Yu Linglong's gaze gradually swept towards the other elders.
Xiong Ba ah, Xiong Ba.
The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Your task is heavy and the road is long; you must continue to work hard!
Following Yu Linglong's order, the recruitment of new disciples continued.
Everything went smoothly after that.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and the Transformation Dragon Sect also gained a new batch of disciples.
After the entire disciple recruitment process was completed, the newly admitted disciples were overjoyed.
Those newcomers who failed to be recruited into the Transformation Dragon Sect could only shake their heads in disappointment and leave on large ships.
As everything came to an end, everyone dispersed.
The sky gradually darkened.
Liang Jin appeared somewhat absent-minded.
His gaze was fixed on the system panel.
Sure enough, new information had appeared on the information panel:
【Completed Sect Missions Today: 4】
【Number of Obtainable Information: 4】
【Information 1: Chen Fanmeng, a female disciple who just joined the sect today, personally witnessed your heroic demeanor in exposing the traitor and defeating the Law Enforcement Elder, and she secretly admires you, hoping to have the opportunity to approach and get to know you.】
【Information 2: Elder Shu Mi, Shen Qu, has become interested in the martial art "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" and wants to obtain the secret manual through your subordinate spy, Liang Qizhi. He is planning what to exchange with you.】
【Information 3: A girl called "Saltless Girl" in the fishing village on the west side of Dongshi Island recites your name every day, hoping to thank you in person for saving her life.】
【Information 4: When An Lansheng, a disciple of the Transformation Dragon Sect, saw a newly admitted female disciple named Han Suyan, infinite surprise and incomprehension welled up in his heart. There seems to be some unspeakable relationship between them.】
Liang Jin looked at this information and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
There was really not much information of real value.
After completing four sect missions in a row, he failed to get a single useful piece of information.
The second one is slightly useful, at least he knows the thoughts of the Shu Mi Elder.
But what are the other three?
It's all about the petty affairs between men and women!
Liang Jin was speechless and complained about this.
"Forget it, I'll continue to work hard tomorrow."
"As long as I keep refreshing, I can always get useful information."
Liang Jin also turned and headed towards the training room.
He hadn't practiced his kung fu today.
Practicing kung fu is also a sect mission!
… … … … … … … …
… … … … … … … …
Qingzhou City.
In front of the Prefect's Yamen.
"Injustice!"
"The Sun family has been wronged!"
A man dressed in mourning clothes was kneeling in front of the Yamen, shouting loudly about his grievances.
The surrounding people who passed by couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this.
They had all heard about the Sun family's affairs and knew that the man in front of them was Sun Lixin, the eldest son of the Sun family.
The Sun family used to be considered a wealthy family in Qingzhou City.
They honestly ran a medicinal herb business, and because the medicinal herbs they sold were of excellent quality and affordable, their reputation was also good.
However, they made a fatal mistake—
When the Yang family also started doing the medicinal herb business, the Sun family did not choose to switch careers.
This led to the Sun family quickly encountering misfortune.
First, someone went to the county Yamen to report that the medicinal herbs sold by the Sun family were mixed with arsenic to harm people.
Then, the county Yamen immediately arrested all the men of the Sun family and threw them into prison, where they were severely tortured.
As the saying goes: Annihilating a family is the Prefect's doing; Ruining a family is the County Magistrate's doing.
The old man of the Sun family was even tortured to death in prison.
At the same time, the women of the Sun family were also threatened by local gangs and extorted by the county Yamen.
The women of the Sun family, who had lost the support of the men, could only sell the Sun family's pharmacy at a low price to the gang with tears in their eyes, in exchange for the remaining men of the Sun family being able to leave the prison.
However, after several transfers, the Sun family's pharmacy ultimately fell into the hands of the Yang family.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Yang family was the mastermind behind this!
So the Sun family ran to the Prefect's Yamen and cried out their grievances every day.
During the whole process, they suffered a lot of threats and blows from various forces.
The second young master of the Sun family went out to visit friends once, but only a cold corpse came back. It was said that he drank too much alcohol at the banquet and drank himself to death.
The Sun family's clan uncle believed that he would never be able to deal with the Yang family in Qingzhou, so he wanted to go to Dali Temple to sue, but he disappeared without a trace. He was never seen alive or dead.
The second young lady of the Sun family was even defiled by several masked strong men who broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night, and they left threats to let the Sun family be sensible. The poor second young lady went crazy because of this and became a madwoman ridiculed by everyone.
So, the people of the Sun family gave up one after another and moved away from Qingzhou.
But only this eldest son, Sun Lixin, was a tough bone, and he still insisted on coming to the Prefect's Yamen to shout out his grievances.
"The Sun family has been wronged!"
"Please, Lord Prefect, do justice for my Sun family!"
Sun Lixin's cries were heart-wrenching, and the passers-by couldn't help but be moved.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a person was seen walking out of the Yamen.
This person was majestic, tall and burly, with a public saber on his waist, looking very impressive.
Seeing this person, Sun Lixin hurriedly crawled over on his knees:
"Head Constable Yan, may I ask if the Prefect is willing to see me?"
"Please help me pass a message and let the Prefect see me, I beg you!"
Sun Lixin pleaded while kowtowing to Head Constable Yan.
Head Constable Yan just looked at Sun Lixin coldly.
After a while, he opened his mouth:
"Get lost!"
