Chapter 294: Stealing Money



"I heard that Lingjing's ID is Sanqing Daozu, and his occupation is unknown." The cheongsam woman unfolded the A4 paper in her hand, "This is a portrait drawn by the people from the Public Security Bureau."

The Psychic Society has placed spies inside the Security Bureau. This is a routine operation. The major branches of the Five Elements Alliance like to set up their offices in the Security Bureau. So as long as the ordinary security guards or clerks of the Security Bureau are developed into informants, the actions of the official walkers can be more clearly controlled.

This move is an open conspiracy. The Five Elements Alliance can conduct physical examinations on official practitioners, but they are not qualified to conduct tests on the Public Security Bureau and officials within the court.

The number of official practitioners is limited, but the number of public servants is unlimited, and they are very easy to be corrupted and degenerate, so they cannot prevent the spiritual practitioners at all.

The Five Elements Alliance is also aware of this, so confidential intelligence and operations are rarely revealed to the security guards.

Even if we bring security guards with us, they will not give any details.

Dou Ye glanced at the portrait and then looked away. "There is no such person among the Level 6 Saints of the Five Elements Alliance."

He thought for a few seconds and said, "Tell the members in the casino not to go out for the time being and wait and see. Anyway, the Nanming City base has not come, and the senior deacon dare not come. If he continues to make trouble, he will move to another place and someone will naturally deal with him."

There are only six strongholds in the entire Nanming City, and the cash, assets, and items involved are only a few hundred million. It is not worth it for him to go to great lengths to hunt down senior deacons, which will attract masters of the Qinghe clan.

The spiritual realm travelers of the Qinghe clan are hands-off bosses who don't care about anything. The Psychic Council really appreciates their tact, and everyone has lived in peace and comfort over the years.

No one wants to break this tacit understanding.

Three days passed in a flash, and Zhang Yuanqing took three female team members to visit Nanming City. Although it is a small border city, Nanming has very beautiful scenery. Search for the title of Sanyoujia in Bing or QQ browser to experience it first every day.

In the name of sightseeing, Zhang Yuanqing traveled to all the mountains and rivers in Nanming City.

In Biluo Village, low mountains are connected to low mountains, and green water flows through the mountains and flows into the continuous farmland. The rice ears in the fields rise and fall like waves. Villagers wearing straw hats bend their waists to harvest rice.

Anne, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, climbed to the top of the mountain and took out a wet tissue to wipe off her sweat. Her beautiful fair face was flushed. Without her delicate makeup and business suit, she looked more vivid and lively.

"I'm so tired. We've been walking all day. Brother Yuanshi, let's take a rest." Xie Lingxi panted.

Sweat slid down the girl's slender neck, and her black hair stuck to her porcelain-white neck.

Neither love nor musicians are professions that require physical strength. After running all over the mountains and fields for a whole day, I was very tired.

In contrast, the Queen did not blush, was not out of breath, and was not even sweating.

"I'll give you some clean water!" She walked to the edge of the stream and reached out to grab some.

Two water balls as big as washbasins broke away from the stream and hung in the air under the control of the queen. She put her hand into the water balls and after a few seconds, she said, "It's purified. Do you two want to drink it?"

She pushed the water ball in front of Annie and Xie Lingxi.

Anne leaned forward, her red lips gently touching the surface of the water mass, took a sip, and shook her head in disappointment: "It's not sweet. You purified all the minerals."

She scooped up a handful of water to wash her face, wiped off the water stains, and looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "Mr. Yuanshi, this mountain is next to the farmland. I saw some villagers entering the mountain just now. Hades should not choose this place to sleep."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded in agreement: "If only one villager went missing during the three days of sleep, the Public Security Bureau would have come here. This mountain range is not thick, so we can rule it out. We will continue in the afternoon. There are still two and a half days before Pluto falls asleep."

In three days, they searched almost all the mountainous areas near Nanming City and identified six locations that Pluto might choose.

According to information sent from the headquarters of the Goddess of Beauty Association, Pluto's character flaw is jealousy.

Pluto is jealous of those who are stronger, more handsome, and richer than himself. As long as someone has advantages that he does not have, Pluto will be jealous and destroy that person.

From the current perspective, this character flaw has no use.

As a traveler in the spiritual realm, Hades' life level is incomparable to that of ordinary people, and there are not many people who can make him jealous.

You can also avoid it by staying in places with fewer people.

Therefore, the most stable method is still Zhang Yuanqing’s previous plan, which is to scout the location first, then wait for the target to fall asleep, use astrology to make a preliminary positioning, and finally gather people to search.

"Come to think of it, the military exploits have been reported, so why haven't you issued a notice yet?" Zhang Yuanqing led the three of them down the mountain, "I'm still waiting for the moral value reward."

"It's normal for official procedures to be slow. There are so many procedures to go through, and people who handle the procedures like to slack off. As long as it's not to save someone or put someone out of trouble, they'll delay it as long as possible." The queen pouted, "I used to want to be a clerk. It's so comfortable to live there. It's a stable job anyway." As she was talking, the phone in Zhang Yuanqing's pocket rang.

The caller was a drug chaser.

While walking down the mountain, he answered the phone: "What's up?" The drug chaser said in a serious tone: "Where are you? You'd better come back immediately."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned slightly: "What happened?

"The auditors from the Qinghe branch are here with the people from the investigation department. They want to see you!" The drug hunter said in a deep voice, "It's about the stolen money."

It is a serious crime for an official to embezzle the stolen money, let alone the amount of nearly 100 million yuan. If it were a public official, the sentence would be 20 years in prison at the least and death penalty at the worst.

Zhang Yuanqing said nonchalantly, "Just say I've left and am no longer in the Nanming branch. Don't tell anyone about me giving money to the branch employees."

For most spiritual realm travelers, this is indeed a serious crime.

But Zhang Yuanqing didn't care at all. Embezzling the stolen money would only result in imprisonment, punishment, and affect his promotion. But given his current relationship with the headquarters, he couldn't expect to be promoted.

He is already a low-level employee.

The rest is nothing more than imprisonment, but the headquarters will not imprison him for this, because Yuanshi Tianzun is already barefoot at this time. If he is forced further, he will rebel against the Five Elements Alliance. There is no problem of principle. The headquarters will not punish him for this. In the eyes of the headquarters, is this little money a matter of principle? Obviously not.

The drug chaser said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple. The investigation department is from the Qinghe tribe. In addition, the fact that you gave money to the branch members has been known by the investigation department. They have now confiscated the stolen money and want to recover the part you embezzled."

"I don't like the word 'greed', it will destroy the relationship between me and the Demon Eye King." Zhang Yuanqing corrected, and then said: "Don't you have your own system, how come you are involved with the Qinghe tribe?

The official of Bagui Province regards the Qinghe tribe as the administrative center, but this is only in name. The Qinghe tribe does not manage anything at all. The real administrative center is the Xini branch. Similar to the Hangcheng branch of Jiangnan Province, there are two elders in charge.

"After all, the Qinghe branch is the leadership department with the highest administrative level. They don't take charge because they are lazy. Once they want to take charge, all the major branches in the entire Bagui Province will have to listen. This is a respect for an organization that has powers comparable to demigods." The drug chaser explained.

"Then why do they want to intervene now?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"The Qinghe branch manages the financial power. According to the procedure, the confiscated stolen money must be handed over to the Qinghe clan." The drug hunter said bluntly: "You embezzled the stolen money, which is equivalent to robbing their money, robbing 100 million. If you don't hand over the stolen money, they will not recognize this operation, and the brothers will not get any credit."

The stronghold I worked so hard to find, the enemies I killed single-handedly, when did my hard-earned money become theirs? Zhang Yuanqing sneered: "Let them clean their necks and wait."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Lingxi immediately asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Go back to the Nanming branch and deal with these ignorant minions." Zhang Yuanqing said expressionlessly.

Nanming City Branch, office area.

The frosted door was closed, and all members of the branch sat quietly in their seats with their heads down, looking depressed, and the atmosphere was solemn.

An hour ago, their salary cards and all bank cards in their names were frozen. The leaders of the Qinghe branch asked them to hand over the stolen money within three days, and decided to issue a notice of criticism to the Nanming branch and deduct this year's performance bonus.

The 160,000 yuan was snatched away before I could even warm up to it, and the year-end bonus was gone too.

It depends on whether the Three Pure Ones Taoist deacon is willing to cooperate. If he has a better attitude and hands over the stolen money, the Qinghe branch might show leniency.

"I thought I could make a fortune, so I went to look at houses today..." Wang Xiaoer sighed.

"I just ordered a new car at the 4S store and paid the deposit. I've been driving my old car for several years and I've always wanted to change it!" A female employee frowned and looked miserable. Others either smiled bitterly or sighed, looking gloomy.

"Deacon Daozu is not from our Qinghe branch, so please don't cause a conflict." A female employee whispered.

"There won't be any conflict, unless it's with the elders. It's all the same for everyone. It's enough for the Qinghe branch to send an email to Song Hai. If it comes to the headquarters, a leader of his level won't be punished too severely, but an internal warning from the organization will be enough to get him into trouble." said Master Liang Shanshui.

At this time, the frosted glass door was pushed open, and the ordinary-looking Sanqing Taoist returned with three outstanding female team members.

The employees in the office area stood up at once, their expressions showing joy amidst their worry.

"Where are the people from the Qinghe tribe?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

Wang Xiaoer immediately stood up and came forward, whispering, "In the office next door, the leader is reprimanding the drug hunter, please be careful!"

The others also looked at him with pleading eyes. They could no longer expect dividends. As long as Qinghe Branch could give up the idea of ​​punishment and keep the bonus, it would be a smooth landing.

Wang Xiaoer knew what everyone was thinking. Thinking that the Taoist Sanzu's steward was a fire master, he tremblingly reminded: "I heard that the leader of the investigation department is in charge of the Qinghe clan's laws. He is very strict. You should not intensify the conflict." After saying that, he waited for the Taoist Sanqing's big reaction. Unexpectedly, the fire master from Songhai nodded and asked, "Master Chang?"

Wang Xiaoer shook his head repeatedly: "How can Mr. Chang take care of such trivial matters?"

It’s not that Mr. Chang is afraid of a hammer. Those below Mr. Chang are my enemies, and those above Mr. Chang…, Zhang Yuanqing muttered a few words in his heart, passed by Wang Xiao, and walked towards the meeting room. Halfway through, he suddenly turned back and slapped Wang Xiaoer on the scalp.

"Don't escalate the conflict? Are you teaching me how to do things?" Wang Xiaoer covered his head: "???"

Zhang Yuanqing ignored him, walked through the office area, and pushed open the spacious conference door.

There were four people sitting in the spacious office. The first one was a thin middle-aged man with the dark skin that was unique to the Qinghe people. He was not tall, just over 1.7 meters.

His attire was not the national costume with a blue base and exquisite embroidery as Zhang Yuanqing had imagined, but a formal casual suit. His temperament was stern and old-fashioned, and he exuded a cold arrogance.

The other two were one middle-aged and one young, wearing white shirts and trousers.

"You are also an experienced deacon. How could you do such a thing? Do you really think that the branch is stupid? We suspect that there is something wrong with the entire branch in Nanming City." The leader of the Qinghe tribe was scolding the drug chasers. When the door of the conference room was pushed open, he deliberately amplified his tone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"As a deacon, you have no rules and no discipline. Do you think you don't take the Five Elements Alliance seriously?"

The employees outside heard it and looked over with worry.

"Hey!" The middle-aged man in the white shirt stood up and looked at Zhang Yuanqing, then glanced at the drug chaser with a stern face: "This is the deacon of the Three Pure Ones, right? Come on, sit down!"

He pointed to the empty seat next to the drug chaser.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the leader of the Qinghe tribe and sat down next to the drug chaser.

"Let me introduce myself," the middle-aged man in the white shirt seemed to be very good at livening up the atmosphere, "Head of Group 6 of the Xini Branch Investigation Department, Lingjing ID is a god, and this is the deputy director of the Qinghe Branch Investigation Department, Lingjing ID is Poppy."

The Poppy Minister of the Qinghe tribe looked straight ahead and didn't even look at Zhang Yuanqing.

He finally introduced the young man: "Like me, the leader of Team 3 of the Investigation Department of the Sini Branch."

The young man in the white shirt introduced himself as "Lingjing ID Snail Noodles."

What a nice name! You’re making me hungry, Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.

A god sat down and said, "It's like this. You must know the purpose of our visit this time. We should hand over the stolen money. It's a discipline after all."

"It will be handed over." Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Submit it to the Songhai Branch."

Looking up, there is a god who is speechless. With this in mind, he really couldn't find any fault with what he said.

"Hand it over to the Songhai branch?" The Qinghe tribe's Poppy Minister said coldly: "Since when did the people from the Songhai branch have the power to enforce the law here. The base of the Psychic Society was cleared out by the Nanming branch. The military merits and stolen money should be received by us."

"The stolen money I handed over has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and refused.

"Deacon Sanqing Daozu, let's call you Sanqing Daozu. We have checked you, and the Five Elements Alliance does not have this spiritual realm ID." Minister Poppy's tone was cold and strong: "You embezzled the stolen money seized by the Nanming branch, which has seriously violated the discipline of the Five Elements Alliance. If you don't hand it over, the Qinghe branch is qualified to temporarily detain you and then report it to the headquarters."

The deputy minister did not get intimidated by the other party's rank and remained stubborn. People of the Qinghe tribe should be stubborn.

"I'll say it again, my money has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yuanqing's attitude remained unchanged, "No one can snatch money from me. When Fu Qingyang sees me, he has to give me money obediently."

Minister Poppy pointed to the camera behind him and said coldly: "You will be responsible for what you say."

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him and stretched out his hands: "Come, torture me!"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.
