Chapter 58: Confrontation at the Steward's Pavilion
How could these people be so shameless?
#(╰_╯)#
Humph! I'm so pissed off!
She didn't even say anything, and they already filed a complaint?
Luo Diandian almost couldn't breathe.
They were the ones who caused this trouble by tampering with the spiritual spring water, and now they dare to slander her?!
How bold! Slam the table!
"They are calling you to the steward's hall for questioning. Look at the token!"
Shao Xiaoling pointed helplessly at the token in Luo Diandian's hand and asked her to take a look.
Luo Diandian opened the token and took a look, and indeed saw a voice transmission that looked like a notification.
Luo Diandian, you are suspected of harming your fellow disciples. Please go to the steward's hall immediately. If you fail to come within the deadline, you will bear the consequences!
Signed: Alchemy Peak Manager
Luo Diandian:?
My eyes went dark.
After his brain raced, Luo Diandian pulled Shao Xiaoling towards the steward's hall.
"This is obviously directed at you, otherwise I..."
Shao Xiaoling held Luo Diandian's hand, hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Luo Diandian.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of them!" Luo Diandian patted Shao Xiaoling comfortingly.
If you want to harm her, you have to have the ability!
Tch, she wants to see what tricks these people can come up with!
......
Luo Diandian walked into the steward's hall and looked around. In the spacious conference hall, the seats were arranged in two rows in the middle.
I saw a fat man sitting in the upper seat, wearing the clothes of the manager of Alchemy Peak. He was stroking his beard with his eyes slightly narrowed.
I guess this is Manager Wang, Luo nodded.
There were several disciples sitting in the front, and the first person Luo Diandian saw was Wu Hua.
At this time, he was chatting happily with the manager Wang above him. It was obvious that he was flattering him, making Manager Wang's face flushed and he was laughing non-stop!
c, I really want to go over and slap him a few times!
"Disciple Luo Diandian."
Luo Diandian saluted and looked around at the people present.
At this time, everyone also saw Luo Diandian coming.
Wu Hua, in particular, jumped up instantly after seeing Luo Diandian, pointed at her nose and cursed, "Luo Diandian, you're finally here!"
Then he hurriedly said to the steward Wang above,
"Manager Wang, this is the person. We all share the spiritual spring in the west area, but the spiritual herbs in her medicinal field are growing well, while ours are all looking wilted."
"So I reasonably suspect that she was the one who tampered with Lingquan!"
Luo Diandian raised his eyebrows, thinking that what Dacongming said was quite right.
It was her who did that, but she specifically targeted people like you with ulterior motives. As long as you don't touch the formation, you won't be fooled.
Luo Diandian said disdainfully, who can't act!
"You didn't take good care of your own spiritual herbs, and you blame me?"
"As far as I know, people who use the spiritual spring in the West District also have their medicinal fields growing well. Why do you say that only mine grows well?"
"Could it be..." Luo Diandian paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"You guys are just wandering around all day, neglecting to take care of the spiritual herbs, so you're looking for someone to take the blame for you!"
Wu Hua's face instantly showed shame and anger when he heard this, "You!"
"Okay, what's the fuss!"
Manager Wang on the stage suddenly spoke up, interrupting their quarrel.
"Luo Diandian, right?"
Hearing the other party's light tone, Luo Diandian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I've been watching over these children. They've always been good people. But it's true that their medicinal plants haven't been growing well since you came."
Manager Wang twisted his beard, narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Diandian, his words hinting at something.
Tsk, this old Biden must be in cahoots with them, damn, they are totally in cahoots with each other!
How could he say that he "has always had a good character"?
Forget it, I guess I’ve become thicker-skinned as I get older!
The villain in Luo Diandian's heart waved his hands with disdain.
Since it was an old man who was disrespectful to the elderly, she didn't give him face.
"Manager Wang, everything requires evidence. You're just making empty promises. If you accuse me like this, I don't think the Law Enforcement Hall will agree!"
Luo Diandian stood where she was, staring intently at Manager Wang above her, looking into his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, without dodging at all.
"You still dare to quibble? It was clearly you who did it. You tampered with the Spiritual Spring!"
The Enforcement Hall? The people in the Enforcement Hall are not easy to deal with. If this matter is brought to the Enforcement Hall, it will not be a small matter!
Wu Hua was a little nervous, with a hint of panic in his eyes, and he loudly accused Luo Diandian.
Luo Diandian glanced at Wu Hua, who was a little jumpy beside her.
Tsk, look, he’s anxious again.
A dark light flashed in Manager Wang's eyes. He dared to use the Law Enforcement Hall to pressure him.
It seems that this girl is not someone who can be easily manipulated. No wonder Ye Zeyun wants him to take action.
"Since there's something wrong with the Spiritual Spring, let's go check it out first!"
Steward Wang stood up and announced this without a doubt.
He accidentally met the eyes of Wu Hua beside him. A hint of understanding flashed in Wu Hua's eyes, and then the two of them shifted their gazes tacitly.
Once we get to Lingquan, won’t we have evidence?
Wu Hua suppressed his pride, not showing any emotion on his face, and said respectfully to Manager Wang, "I will follow Manager Wang's arrangements in everything."
Luo Diandian: ...
Why don't you two be more obvious? Do you really think she's a fool?
If they go in a group or alone, I will be unable to explain what happens there.
There was no good way to break the deadlock, Luo Diandian frowned.
After all, Manager Wang is a higher-ranking official and has the upper hand over others, while he is just a small errand disciple.
I didn't expect that Ye Zeyun had such a method behind the scenes.
Someone with connections!
(¬_¬) convex
No matter how much you scold him, it's useless. You can only take it one step at a time and wait and see what happens.
"good."
Luo Diandian followed Manager Wang, and they prepared to head to the spiritual spring in the west.
Wu Hua looked at Luo Diandian beside him, and the corners of his mouth could hardly be suppressed, and he felt very proud in his heart.
You'll be in trouble then. This is the consequence of offending Brother Yun!
At this moment,
A tender female voice came, "Wait."
Everyone looked over and saw a girl in emerald green herbal medicine clothes coming side by side with an old man.
Luo Dian Dian looked at it, a little surprised. Xiao Ling?
Originally, she came with Shao Xiaoling, but when they arrived at the door of the steward's hall, she asked her to go in first while she went to find someone to help.
Is this the helper she is looking for?
Luo Diandian set his eyes on the old man next to Shao Xiaoling.
The old man was a little thin, with sunken cheeks, but his eyes were bright and his eye sockets were slightly sunken, making his face look particularly rigid. He was also wearing a gray steward's uniform.
"Li...Brother Li, why are you here?"
Manager Wang looked at the person who came and exclaimed in surprise, then felt a little uneasy.
If something bad happens, why is Li Ming here?
This stubborn guy has always been clear about the distinction between public and private matters. If he were here, I'm afraid this kind of thing wouldn't be accomplished!
