Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems
Chapter 111: Zhong Yang In Prison
"I have always been upright and strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the sect."
"How is it possible that I intentionally pushed the disciples of the sect into the fire pit with a top-grade spiritual jade?"
"Tang Gongzi, everything must be based on evidence. This is the Hall of Law Enforcement, we cannot speak without evidence and falsely accuse me!"
Zhongyang said coldly.
Tang Tian chuckled, "Whether it is a false accusation or not, the Hall of Law Enforcement will make the judgment."
"I am just stating what I know."
"I hired bodyguards, and Elder Zhongyang accepted a top-grade spiritual jade from me."
"The second time I wanted to find a retainer, with the same request, he accepted one hundred top-grade spiritual jades from me."
"And the third time we met, he refused my proposal, but still accepted my gratitude fee."
"An Innate Dao Jade."
Everyone raised their eyebrows.
An Innate Dao Jade is not an ordinary item.
Even for an elder like Zhongyang, it is an extremely precious existence.
If he really accepted an Innate Dao Jade from Tang Tian, it would be hard for anyone to believe that he didn't promise anything.
"Zhongyang, is what Tang Tian said true?"
Hanhai asked.
Zhongyang remained calm and said, "It's all slander."
"I didn't even accept a low-grade spiritual jade from him."
"But Tang Gongzi seems so sure, I suspect he has a delusion and should seek proper treatment."
Hanhai glanced at Tang Tian and asked again, "Then are you willing to let the Hall of Law Enforcement search?"
Zhongyang immediately looked hesitant, "This..."
But before he could say anything else, Hongyuan, who was listening on the side, slowly spoke up, "This might not be appropriate, right?"
"Without concrete evidence, how can we search a senior elder just based on someone's words?"
"Moreover, the bribes that Tang Tian mentioned are spiritual jades."
"How can you be sure that the spiritual jades found during the search are the ones Tang Tian gave him?"
Hongyuan spoke, and the difficult expression on Zhongyang's face quickly disappeared.
Then, Hanhai and the other high-ranking members of the Hall of Law Enforcement discussed for a while. One by one, they shook their heads, indicating that this approach was not feasible.
Seeing this, Hongyuan suddenly changed his tone and said, "I think you have overlooked something in this trial."
"Instead of focusing on trivial matters, it would be better to pay attention to the current problem of corruption within the sect."
"The relationship between bodyguards and honorary disciples is a contractual one, with clear responsibilities and obligations. There should be no situation where a bodyguard gets pregnant."
"If we let such incidents continue, it is likely to escalate and harm the foundation of the sect."
Tang Tian was slightly stunned and looked at Hongyuan.
Why did this guy suddenly turn against him?
Did he offend him before?
He pondered silently.
While he was contemplating, Hanhai and Hongyuan had already confronted each other.
"The theme of today's trial is the issue of infighting and internal corruption among fellow disciples."
"The matter between Tang Tian and Gu Xiaoxue is not within the scope of this trial."
"Moreover, the sect does not prohibit disciples from forming relationships privately, as long as both parties are willing and there is no coercion involved."
Hanhai said.
Hongyuan smiled and said, "But what if there is coercion?"
"We will naturally investigate whether it exists."
"But today, this matter will not be discussed."
Hongyuan shook his head, "Ignoring more serious matters and talking about baseless rumors."
"The process of your Hall of Law Enforcement also has some problems."
Seeing that they were getting off track, Tang Tian quickly knocked on the table to bring them back.
"Who said Gu Xiaoxue is pregnant?"
"And who said I have no evidence of Elder Zhongyang's bribery?"
Tang Tian said.
"Hmm?"
Hanhai and Hongyuan both turned their gaze to Tang Tian.
"Gu Xiaoxue is not pregnant?"
Hanhai asked.
Tang Tian smiled and said, "That's right, she is still a virgin."
"I really don't know where these defamatory rumors came from, it's really damaging."
"Today, I happen to clarify this matter."
Hanhai was slightly taken aback.
And the central figure, who had already relaxed, furrowed his brows and looked at Tang Tian.
"Tang Tian, didn't you say it yourself?" Zhongyang said.
Tang Tian rubbed his chin and said, "Oh?"
"When did I say that?" Zhongyang frowned. "It was during our third..."
He suddenly stopped speaking, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Tang Tian smiled and said, "Without evidence, you can't just slander someone."
"Besides, even though Xiaoxue is currently in seclusion for cultivation, I have witnesses."
As he finished speaking, Chiyuan stood up directly from the side.
"Haha, come, everyone look here."
"I vouch for my brother, that little girl is innocent."
Chiyuan said loudly.
Everyone looked at him, and although they didn't refute, they didn't show much trust either.
Chiyuan stared and said, "What, you don't believe me?"
"Hey, you, kid, come and tell them."
"Hurry up!"
Yun Kong stood up awkwardly and said, "Yes, elders."
"Gu Xiaoxue has indeed never been pregnant, she is still pure."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
As the young sect master, Yun Kong naturally wouldn't lie about such matters, after all, Gu Xiaoxue was still alive, and the truth would be known when she returned from seclusion.
But what surprised them was that the investigation confirmed that this news did indeed come from Tang Tian's mouth.
Either Tang Tian was drunk and talking nonsense.
Or he had ulterior motives.
Zhongyang's expression changed, and he felt a bit anxious.
Hongyuan also lowered his gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Tang Tian, you just said that there is evidence of Zhongyang taking bribes?" Elder Hanhai asked.
Tang Tian nodded and said, "I can't prove the first and second instances of the top-grade spirit jade."
"But for the third instance of the Innate Dao Jade..."
Then, he took out the jade token.
"This is a little gadget specially made for me by the Grand Elder, as for its function, you will know when you see it."
After speaking, he threw the jade token directly to Hanhai.
Hanhai examined it and quickly understood the function of the jade token.
With a frown, he activated the formation inside the jade token.
A faint void fluctuation immediately occurred in the hall.
And the center of the fluctuation was Zhongyang below.
In his nervous and incredulous gaze, a beautifully crafted Innate Dao Jade emitted a soft light, rising from his storage ring and shining brightly in the black hall.
At the same time the Innate Dao Jade rose, Hongyuan stood up and left the hall without looking back.
Zhongyang was completely panicked, shouting, "No, this is a frame-up!"
"It must be Tang Tian, he did something!"
"Elder Hongyuan, Elder Hongyuan!"
"You have to do justice for me!!"
However, no matter how loudly he shouted, Hongyuan never turned back and disappeared from the hall.
Zhongyang slumped to the ground, never expecting that the thing that would ultimately send him to hell would be this Innate Dao Jade.
Tang Tian watched him quietly, always indifferent.
Whoever messes with him, he messes with them.
Blame it on Zhongyang for underestimating his own strength.
In the end, after losing Hongyuan's protection, Zhongyang confessed everything.
Although he severed all ties with Hongyuan, there were still enough other things to deal with.
Especially after the Grand Elder ordered the rectification of the sect's atmosphere.
Ten years in the Black Prison, plus the deprivation of all rights and status, that was his final outcome.
As for this result, Tang Tian couldn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
After all, he just wanted to vent his anger.
With the end of the trial, Tang Tian cleared himself of all suspicion, cleared Gu Xiaoxue's reputation, and the two main culprits, Luodanya and Zhongyang, received the punishment they deserved.
Everything settled.
But just as Tang Tian was about to leave, Hanhai approached him.
"Master Tang."
"Please allow me to have a word with you."
