Chapter 912 Scapegoat
Among the disciples of the Punishment Hall surrounded outside, a middle-stage Jindan cultivator walked out.
He bowed his hands to everyone: "See the movie master, my subordinates have received news that a disciple is making trouble in the financial hall and robbing the account book.
According to the rules of the Blood Shadow Gate, these disciples should be taken back to the Punishment Hall for questioning.
The first person is punished by death, and the others are also severely punished, and his subordinates are arresting people according to the rules of the house. "
Zhou Luan nodded: "You did a good job, this matter is handled by me and the elders, you should step back first."
This middle stage cultivator did not dare to disobey Zhou Luan's order. With a wave of his hand, the disciples of the Punishment Hall stood by near the Punishment Hall.
Zhang Yue walked into the Punishment Hall first and shouted: "The shadow master and all the elders are outside, they are all staying honest, this matter is handled by the shadow master.
Where is the ledger? After a while, the main inspection will be conducted. "
Manager Li took out the ledger from the storage bag and put it on the counter.
Zhang Yue glanced at him: "Take out all the space treasures on your body, put them on the counter, and wait for the film owner to check."
Li Guanshi did not dare to confront the second elder, and honestly took out three storage bags and a Qiankun ring.
Zhou Luan and other elders entered the financial hall, and everyone in the hall bowed and saluted: "See the shadow master."
Zhou Luan waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, I heard that the Finance Hall's salaries were unfairly paid, which caused the disciples to snatch the account books.
Where is this ledger now, bring it to me. "
Zhang Yue turned all the space treasures of Director Li upside down, and found no other ledger.
He showed this ledger to several other monks present to check: "Is this the ledger he used to pay you salaries?"
The white-robed cultivator who had a dispute with Li Guanshi before glanced at the ledger: "It is the previous ledger, and my monthly salary should be ten middle-grade spirit stones.
There was a mission last month, and there should be a bounty of 20 mid-grade spirit stones.
A total of 30 yuan should be given to me, but Manager Li only gave me 15 yuan.
I reasoned with him, and he said it was decided by above, and he has no right to interfere.
Most of us disciples have been deducted from their salaries. Today, we can't bear it anymore, so we have to snatch the ledger and seek justice. "
Zhou Luan took the account book to check: "Don't worry, disciples,
With me, I will definitely give you justice. "
After that, he pointed to the salaries of some of the disciples in the ledger and asked, "According to the sect rules, the salaries of the disciples of the Zi Mansion are ten middle-grade spirit stones per month.
When it reaches the peak of Zifu, it will double again.
Why is the salary in this account only half?
Some monks' salaries are even less than 30%. Who set this ledger? "
Steward Li said: "I am a small steward, so how can I decide this.
The ledger was handed over to me by the chief financial officer, and the spiritual stone handed to me was also based on the ledger.
I can only pay according to the amount on the account book, and I can't take out an extra piece. "
The general manager of each hall is also equivalent to the deputy hall master. He usually manages various chores in the hall, and is also served by the elder Jindan.
Being able to become the chief steward of each hall is also regarded as an elder with real power.
Zhou Luan asked, "Where is the chief financial officer?"
A late Jindan cultivator came out and cupped his hands: "Zhang Mengguang, chief financial officer, see the movie master."
The Zhang family's Mengzi generation is after the Dingzi generation, and this Zhang Mengguang is Zhang Dingming's son and nephew.
"What's going on with this ledger? Why is the salary that should be paid to the disciples turned into half, or even less than 30%."
The sweat on Zhang Mengguang's forehead was all down, deducting the salaries of his disciples and filling his own pockets. This crime is not light.
Although he is also a member of Zhang's family, he is only a distant supporter and is not highly regarded.
He was more than 300 years old, and with his financial management ability, he had survived for more than 300 years to have such a position as a chief executive.
If he was charged with this crime, his life would be hard to save.
Those who do not stand out among future generations may be lost from now on.
But if he didn't carry it, he would be killed by Zhang Dingming in the future.
When he was struggling, Xu Qinghe smiled and said, "Director Zhang Da is telling the truth, what's so scary?
If it's your own problem, as long as you can fill in the gaps, it's just a small life.
The film owner is kind, and his family is not to be blamed.
If it's not your problem, then say where the ledger comes from.
To be honest, the movie owner will protect you and your family. "
Hearing this, Zhang Mengguang's face was embarrassed.
Seeing that he wanted to confess, Zhang Dingming also said: "Meng Guang, just say something.
With me here, no one dares to frame you. "
Zhang Mengguang sighed: "Returning to the movie owner, I really did this account."
"Since you recognize it, it's easy to handle.
Where is the punishment hall master, Zhang Mengguang will be taken down.
Now send someone to loot Zhang Mengguang's property and cave, and retrieve the stolen money. "
A late-stage Jindan cultivator who looked very similar to Xu Qinghe walked out, bowed and saluted, "As ordered."
Xu Qinghe also answered: "Qingquan, you must investigate carefully, and there must be no omissions."
The elder of punishment, Xu Qingquan, was Xu Qinghe's younger brother, and his status was not low.
In order to balance the Zhang and Xu families, they usually take turns in charge of punishment and finance.
In terms of personnel appointment and removal, the powers are divided by the first elder, the second elder and the third elder.
Asking Xu Qingquan to grab the Zhang family's braids would definitely be a hit.
As soon as Xu Qingquan waved his hand, several disciples of the Punishment Hall ran in and put shackles and shackles on Zhang Mengguang.
These shackles and shackles are not ordinary things, they are all special instruments.
The cultivation of the person wearing it will be suppressed, and there is not much power to exert at all.
Xu Qingquan shouted again: "Qinghui, go check all Zhang Mengguang's properties and caves, and there must be no omissions.
All the proceeds from the inspection shall be brought here without any errors. "
The middle-stage Jindan cultivator who had led people to surround the Finance Hall walked in and said yes.
Zhou Luan added: "Elder Han, you are famous for being impartial and selfless in the shadow of blood.
It is up to you to supervise, lest anyone make a trick. "
An elderly Jindan peak cultivator came out and said, "As per your order."
After that, he walked out of the punishment hall with Xu Qinghui.
"Second elder, ask someone to calculate how many spirit stones have been deducted from this account book."
Zhang Yue said yes, and then found a few non-lineal elders to check the accounts together.
After half a day, Xu Qinghui and Elder Han returned to the Finance Hall.
Xu Qinghe took out three Qiankun Rings and gave them to Zhou Luan.
"Shadow owner, all properties under Zhang Mengguang's name have been confiscated.
The property that can be brought is already here, and the land deeds of the cave and the house are also here. All property accounting should be about 160,000 middle-grade spirit stones. "
Elder Han also cupped his hands and said: "I am all present for the inspection and accounting, and what Director Xu said is correct."
Zhang Yue handed a few books to Zhou Luan: "The film owner, the accounts have been settled.
This ledger recorded the expenditure of the Finance Hall for ten years, and a total of more than 30 million middle-grade spirit stones were deducted. "
More than 30 million middle-grade spirit stones, converted into low-grade spirit stones, that is more than three billion pieces.
Xu Qingquan snorted coldly and asked, "Zhang Mengguang, you said that you did this account, what about the spirit stone that was deducted?
In this headquarters, there are fifth-order spiritual veins to provide support.
Cultivation doesn't need mid-grade spirit stones. Where have you hidden these spirit stones?
The movie owner is kind, as long as you tell the truth, you can be spared the death penalty and can also protect your family.
To be a scapegoat for others is to die without a doubt.
How many people's salaries have you deducted, and these people can't wait to kill your whole family.
Think about it, what happens to your family after you die?
As far as I know, your descendants have no outstanding characters.
Will someone pay a huge price to protect them? "
Zhang Mengguang clenched his fists tightly, his muscles twitched, blue veins burst out on his forehead, and sweat had soaked his robe.
He was also in the Zhang family, so he naturally knew how heartless Zhang Dingming was.
As a scapegoat, Zhang Dingming would never protect his family.
But if he confessed, he would not be able to overthrow Zhang Dingming, and it would be difficult to do in the future.
