Celestial Immortal

   Chapter 449 Red Dust Tribulation 【Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription】

  Chu Chen did not delay, and quickly rushed to the North Courtyard of the Duguan.

   Jiuqiu Shanren Xu Shi waited for a long time, and when he saw Chu Chen, he put down the official document in hand and led him to a seat in the reception room.

   "Fellow Daoist Chu, come, please take a seat."

  Chu Chen took his seat generously.

  Jiuqiu Mountain people's practice method focuses on "cultivating and refining shape". The supernatural powers are known for martial arts, and their personality is unrestrained and informal. They don't like to go around in circles when they talk and do things, go straight and talk about things.

  Chu Chen knew the temperament of this old boss very well, and immediately went straight to the point:

   "Deputy Governor of Jiuqiu, do you have an order for me?"

   "Yes, I do have something to trouble you to take a trip."

Jiuqiu Shanren nodded slightly and said, "This is what happened. The supervising censor impeached the Zhongming County Ghosts and Gods Division for corruption and bribery, and swallowed up Zhongming County's treasure house. Xianting attached great importance to it and ordered our county Ghosts and Gods Division to investigate this matter as soon as possible. "

  Chu Chen was slightly taken aback.

   He has served as the chief of ghosts and gods in a county, and he understands how much power the leader has.

  The whole county's landscape, land and other ghosts and gods govern large and small spiritual fields and treasures. The profit and loss of spiritual veins between heaven and earth change. Every year, the income of heaven and earth treasures and spiritual materials and medicines increase or decrease, and the situation is different.

  There is room for greedy ink to operate.

  If you have the will to set up your name and name, up and down your hands, and harm the public and private, it is not difficult to be greedy for the local treasure house, but it is difficult to control your inner desires.

   To Chu Chen's surprise, Zhongming County Ghosts and Gods Siduguan would be greedy for the treasure house of ink?

   This Duguan he knows, is the fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi who used to work together in the Duguan compound.

  How could he embezzle and take bribes and devour the treasure trove of wealth?

   The people of Jiuqiu Mountain were surprised when they saw Chu Chen, and couldn't help but sigh:

   "Oh, this old man was also surprised that he would wantonly greed for money and silk from the treasure house of ink, but it's a fact, the treasure house of Zhongming County was indeed lost to most of his hands, and the censor of the inspectorate of the inspectorate took it right."

  Chu Chen frowned.

   "The deputy governor of Jiuqiu, is there something tricky in this?"

   A monk from a small faction who has been poor all his life and suddenly takes power, may easily lose himself and get carried away.

   And Xuanlingzi is different.

   He is a genius disciple carefully cultivated by the Taixuan Sect of the Hidden World Sect. He is highly regarded, and there is no shortage of various cultivation resources on weekdays, so there is absolutely no need to take such a big risk.

   took a step back and said that even if he had a crooked mind, he could not have acted so recklessly.

   After taking charge of Zhongming County for less than a year, he embezzled most of the treasure trove. No matter how hard the account was wiped, it would not be flat, and it could not stand the investigation at all.

   Jiuqiu Mountain people agreed with Chu Chen's statement in their hearts. They didn't believe that Xuan Lingzi was so bold and acted so absurdly, and ordered:

   "The matter is really strange. Han Du is in charge of going out. What he means is to let Daoyou Chu go to Zhongming County and investigate it clearly. If someone is framed and framed, Xuan Lingzi must be cleared as soon as possible."

   "If the evidence is convincing, no partiality is allowed, and it will be businesslike."

   "I see."

  Chu Chen nodded slightly, Xuan Lingzi's elders had friendship with Duguan Han Chen, and Han Duguan would put him in charge of the case. Obviously, he still wanted to protect Xuan Lingzi, lest he be framed by others.

   Chu Chen was quite disappointed when he received an assignment to investigate the corruption and bribery of immortal officials, ghosts and gods. In comparison, he was more willing to slay demons and eliminate demons, save Li Shu, and his meritorious deeds were even more plentiful.

   However, this case involved old acquaintances, and it was an errand ordered by Duguan Han.

   He did not delay, and immediately set off for Zhongming County.

  Chongming County is located in the northeast of Guangping County.

  Three-color auspicious clouds move at an amazing speed.

   Soon, Chu Chen arrived in Zhongming County.

   As soon as he arrived in Zhongming County, Chu Chen directly took over the county's Ghosts and Gods Division.

   "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, long time no see."

  In the county capital management compound, Chu Chen saw Xuan Lingzi who was under house arrest in the compound.

  Compared to the high-spirited and full of arrogance at the beginning, at this moment Xuan Lingzi looked a little decadent, his eyes were dull, and his twilight was sullen, as if he had experienced a huge blow, and the whole person had lost his energy.

   It wasn't until he saw Chu Chen that Xuan Lingzi's dull eyes became a little brighter.

   "Fellow Daoist Chu, President Chu, are you going to be sent to investigate me?"

   Meeting his former colleagues again, Xuan Lingzi showed a bitter smile on his face.

  In the beginning, his Taoism, cultivation, and qualifications were among the best among several county chief counselors, and he was born in a hidden world, so he faintly looked down on several other county chief counsellors.

   In just one year, the times have changed, and their several county counselors have had different experiences.

   Especially Chu Chen soared into the sky, the sixth-rank Taoist cultivation base, and he was in charge of the Yellow House.

   And he, at the moment, is in deep trouble, and his future is ruined.

   "You and I should still be called fellow Daoists."

  Chu Chen waved his hand and sat down on the stone bench beside Xuan Lingzi, saying:

   "We've known each other for so long, so I'm not going to talk about anything or not, fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, what's wrong with the imperial censor's impeachment against your greedy ink treasure house?"

   "Is there really such a thing?"

   Xuan Lingzi saw that Chu Chen asked about this, his face was full of bitterness:

   "The depletion of the treasury is indeed related to me."

  Chu Chen frowned.

   He originally thought that Xuan Lingzi might have been framed and framed by someone and had been splashed with sewage.

  For example, he was in charge of the ghosts and gods affairs in Yunlin County at the beginning, and the flying chapters to impeach him floated like snowflakes to the fairy court.

  This is something that cannot be avoided as a leader. As long as you really do things, you will touch the interests of some people and attract criticism.

   But I never thought that the impeachment of the supervisor was not groundless, Xuan Lingzi was really entangled with the depletion of the treasure house.

   "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, what's going on?"

   Xuan Lingzi was silent.

  Chu Chen saw Xuan Lingzi's stuffy gourd, and there was no sound for a long time, and he was a little unhappy:

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, Han Chen is in charge of letting me come here, and he wants to protect you. If you don't say anything, your accusation of greed for the treasure house of ink will be settled, and it will be directly handed over to the superior Xianting, and no one can save you. ."

   "Hey, I am ashamed of Han Duguan's support."

   Xuan Lingzi heard that Han Chen was in charge, so he slowly spoke:

   "The matter has to start from half a year ago. I was in a depressed mood for a while. In addition to official practice, I often went to the mountains to play."

   "In the mountains, I happened to meet a female cultivator, discussing Taoism, and the conversation was very pleasant. After going back and forth, we became good friends. We talked about everything and had a close relationship."

   "Although her talent for Taoism is not high, she understands me very well and is considerate. Getting along with her makes me feel relaxed, and even practice becomes easier."

   "I think I met what Master called a 'good Taoist companion'."

   "A few days ago, she approached me and said that there was an emergency at home and a large amount of money was urgently needed to turn around, and she asked me for help."

  Chu Chen frowned,

   I was in a depressed mood half a year ago, that was not the time when they were vying for a spot in the All-Government Club.

   But that's not the point.

   The point is that Xuan Lingzi met a female nun.

   We talked very happily and became friends. There was an accident at home and I borrowed money to help.

   This set of procedures, the more Chu Chen listened to it, the more familiar it became.

  Chu Chen faintly guessed something in his heart:

   "You borrowed? Did you borrow it for the first time, and then she borrowed money from you one after another?"

   "Fellow Daoist Chu, how do you know?"

   Xuan Lingzi nodded when he heard the words:

"Yes, I gave her all my savings for the first time. Later, I begged the elders twice, but the result was still not enough. In the end, I misappropriated the spiritual materials from the treasure house of the ghosts and gods in Zhongming County. The treasure medicine is lent to her for turnover."
