   Chapter 450 Treasure of Millions of Jade Money 【Seeking Monthly Pass Subscription】

   After listening to Xuan Lingzi's description, Chu Chen immediately gained a better understanding of the matter.

   First of all, Xuan Lingzi was not greedy for money from the treasure house of ink, but embezzled public funds.

   The biggest difference between the two is that Xuan Lingzi has no intention of occupying the treasure house, but only temporarily occupies and misappropriates it, intending to return it in the future.

   The nature of these two crimes is different. The guilt of embezzling the treasure house is a little lighter than the treasure house of embezzling ink.

   It is necessary to identify whether Xuan Lingzi is greedy or misappropriated.

   is actually very simple, you only need to check the account book of the treasure house of ghosts and gods in Zhongming County.

  If Xuan Lingzi did not settle accounts, and did not account for the misappropriation of property, it would be embezzlement, not greed.

   The censor of the imperial court inspectorate found that the Zhongming treasure house was empty and the accounts did not match when he raided the accounts.

   This proves that Xuan Lingzi did not subjectively want to swallow the treasures, but wanted to wait for the female cultivator to return the treasures to make up for the shortfall.

   He came to a conclusion in his heart—Eighty to nine out of ten Xuanlingzi was kidnapped.

   The so-called "understanding of people" and "understanding your heart" are just high-ranking female cultivators who hold you tightly.

  If he, Xiucai, and Wang Ping had encountered such a situation, they would have been alert long ago.

   But Xuan Lingzi is different. He was born in a hidden world sect. He grew up in the deep mountains and ponds. He has a relatively small circle of contacts. Under the arrogant and indifferent appearance hides a simple heart, and he has never seen too many intrigues.

   Even though he joined the WTO to practice, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he did not make much progress in the world.

  Chu Chen couldn't help sighing secretly:

   "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, do you know the origin of that woman?"

   Xuan Lingzi kept silent as if he hadn't heard it.

   I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know about others, or because I don’t want to confess that female nun, and I’m getting into trouble.

  Chu Chen shook his head when he saw this.

   In either case, it's not a good thing.

  The former shows that Xuanlingzi is simple and terrible. He handed over his savings without knowing the details, and also had a delusional idea of ​​embezzling the treasures of the ghosts and gods. He has no brains and is beyond stupid.

  If it is the latter, then Xuan Lingzi did not see the true face of the "female cultivator" clearly, and had unrealistic delusions about her.

   Xuan Lingzi has encountered a mortal calamity.

  Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

   The disciples of the hidden world sect practiced in the mountains, and their temperaments were different, but their minds were mostly simple and ignorant of the world.

  If you can't get over it, not only will the future of Xianting's cultivation practice be ruined, but the future self-cultivation and cultivation will be greatly affected.

  Chu Chen knew that Xuan Lingzi was still trying to protect the female cultivator, so he stopped asking the female cultivator, but instead attacked:

   "Fellow Daoist Xuan Lingzi, what is the emergency at the nun's house, why do you need a lot of money?"

   Xuan Lingzi said nothing, remained unmoved, and was unwilling to reveal any news about the "female cultivator".

  Chu Chen lost his patience: "Do you think she will return the money? If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you will harm yourself."

   Xuan Lingzi sighed and said:

   "Whether the treasures are returned or not, my future will be ruined. In that case, let me take care of it alone."

  Chu Chen was quite disappointed with Xuan Lingzi when he heard the words.

   I used to think that he was just a little arrogant in his temperament, and nothing else out of the ordinary, but now it seems that he has misunderstood people.

   "What are you taking on? At that time, won't your teacher help you to make up for the shortfall?"

   "Perhaps, you feel that you are hard-hearted, confess your guilt and accept punishment, and you don't need your teacher to help you make up the shortfall, but have you ever thought that no one will make up for the shortfall in the treasure house, and it is not you who are unlucky, but the local people of Zhongming County."

   "The treasury of the county's department of ghosts and gods is seriously depleted, and it is not enough to make ends meet. How should taxes be paid? How will the immortal officials and inspection envoys of each class give out the rewards on weekdays? How will the ghosts, gods, and soldiers and horses in various places support them?"

   "In the next few years, who will protect the safety of the local people? Are you worthy of the people of Zhongming County?"

"As the county magistrate, tell me, how can you take care of it alone? Could it be that you have the supernatural powers of avatars, you can pull out a handful of leg hairs, and you can conjure countless mysterious spirits, and you can take the county ghosts and gods, local ghosts and gods by one person. Are the soldiers and horses all done?"

   "What the **** are you talking about, three-year-olds are more sensible than you!"

   Speaking of the excitement, Chu Chen talked endlessly without being polite at all.

   Xuan Lingzi was scolded with blood.

   At first, he was unmoved, but later he was a little touched.

   After all, he has been in charge of Zhongming County for more than half a year, and he still has feelings for Zhongming.

   "I will beg the elders of the division to make up for the shortfall for me, and I will not let innocent people suffer in vain."

   Chu Chen was speechless when he heard the words.

   Come on, Xuan Lingzi just doesn't want to speak.

   He is not only obsessed, but even a little obsessed.

   "It's okay, it's up to you."

  Chu Chen waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with Xuan Lingzi.

   came out of the courtyard where Xuan Lingzi was under house arrest.

  Chu Chen contacted Han Chen with an order from the Yellow Court, and reported the situation of the treasure house in Zhongming County truthfully.

   In the incense cloud, Han Chen heard the report and couldn't help sighing:

   "Xuan Lingzi really fell into the mortal calamity."

   "Fellow Daoist Chu, I passed the order of the commander of the county, and immediately dismissed Xuan Lingzi Zhongming as the commander, and truthfully reported the crime of embezzlement to the Xianting Procuratorate and the Supreme Court of the Celestial Court, and handed over the person to them."

   "You are solely responsible for this case, and recover the depleted treasures of the treasury as soon as possible."

   "If the goods cannot be recovered, I will communicate with Taixuanzong and try to let them fill the gap in the local treasure house."

"Yes!"

  Chu Chen got the instructions of Han Chen, the governor of the county, and went straight to the county governor's compound, summoned the ghosts and gods, the ghosts and gods, and temporarily took over to stabilize the situation.

   After some arrangements, Chu Chen was free, and transferred the treasure house account book to check the accounts.

   As Xuan Lingzi said, he did not balance the accounts, and he was clear about the amount of money he used to call the treasure house without authorization.

   From the accounts, Chu Chen saw some clues.

  Xuan Lingzi first embezzled jade money, and then there is not much jade money, so he embezzles all kinds of spiritual materials and medicines.

   The last appropriation was two days ago.

   Before and after, a total of millions of jade coins were embezzled, and most of the treasure house was emptied.

   Whether it is jade money or spiritual materials and medicines, they are hard currency, and they can be traded with people wherever they go. There is no need to sell stolen goods at all, and it is extremely difficult to recover the loss of the treasure house.

   Even if you want to check, it is difficult to find clues.

The only clue    was that Xuan Lingzi learned that the nun lived in Longling Mountain.

   To be precise, it is the Jinzhong Mountains, a branch of Longling Mountains near Zhongming County.

  The Admiralty Mountain Range is also very large, with endless green forests. For others, trying to search is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and it is difficult to be effective.

   However, in the Jinzhong Mountains, Chu Chen has a dog brother and a brother who has a mutual aid association.

   A human family lives in seclusion in the Jinzhong Mountains. Maybe they can hide from outsiders, but they can't hide from the monsters and monsters who were born and raised in this country.

  Thinking of this, he picked up the dream stone and invited him to dream.

   Brother Gou was quite happy when he saw Chu Chen:

   "Brother Chu, is the dream stone sacrifice finished?"

  Chu Chen shook his head. For the past two days, he has been busy seeking Heaven-reaching Dafa.

   "I have something to delay. I will give you the sacrifice in a few days. I have something to do with you."

   Brother Gou Liu Liu heard the ins and outs of the matter and said with a smile:

   "There are only a few human races who have lived in seclusion for a long time in the Jinzhong Mountains. Brothers know what they know. Brother Chu, you and I sneak into the investigation quietly. Maybe we can find clues and recover the treasure trove of millions of jade coins."
