Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning sat cross-legged and motionless in the interrogation room. The stone door opened and Feng Jian'an, Hu Xiaoqing and others filed in: "Junior Brother Tang, let's go! The interrogation is about to begin."

He opened his eyes, without saying a word, stood up and left the room, turning into a ray of light and walking away. The people from the Secret Security Department followed closely, and not long after, he arrived at the interrogation hall of the Soothing Department.

The majestic main hall has an antique color, and the black wall tiles add a sense of solemnity. Four disciples stand outside the hall.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ning couldn't help but think of the first time she came to this interrogation hall decades ago. At that time, she was still an interrogation representative of the Intelligence Department, but now she was the interrogated disciple. Things were different, but somehow there seemed to be something different. God willing.

He suddenly felt dazed.

"Junior Brother Tang, please wait here for the summons." Feng Jian'an pointed to a small stone room on the left side of the hall and said.

Tangning didn't say anything and walked directly in. It was dark inside.

The people from the secret security department were waiting outside, and he sat quietly in the dark room waiting to be interrogated.

………………………………

In the main hall, several people took their seats one after another. On the steps, there was a desk that was 10 feet long, and three Taishi chairs were lined up side by side, with three men sitting on them.

The person in the middle has a gray beard and is Liu Junlong, the deacon of the Town and Fu Department. The person on the left is tall and tall with bright eyes. He is Ma Ningyuan, the deacon of the Supervision Department. The person on the right has a fair complexion and is Wei Xun of the Discipline Department.

On the next step below, there is a chair on the left and right. On the left is Lu Guang of the Intelligence Department, and on the right is Feng Jian'an of the Secret Security Department.

Everyone sat down, Feng Jian'an pulled out a stack of files and handed them to the chief, Liu Junlong, and said, "The person who will be interrogated this time is Tang Ning from the Intelligence Department. I believe everyone has read the previous files. This is what we have been doing in recent days. Let’s take a look at the investigation of the Intelligence Division and all relevant personnel involved in this incident, including the interrogation of Tang Ning!”

Liu Junlong took the file and read it carefully, then handed it to Ma Ningyuan beside him, and passed it on to several people in turn, until finally Lu Guang read it and handed it back to Feng Jian'an.

Liu Junlong said: "Junior brothers have all seen it, let's get started!"

Everyone nodded.

Liu Junlong signaled to the disciples below. The two disciples took their seats, took out the notes and files and started recording.

"Bring Tang Ning up." Liu Junlong said, his voice mixed with spiritual power coming from afar.

"Senior Brother Tang, please!" Hu Xiaoqing said.

Tang Ning left the room, went straight into the main hall, and walked down the steps.

"Junior brother Tang, today's joint trial of the three departments is the last trial to convict you. Do you have anything else to defend for your illegal manipulation of Ma Rui, a disciple of the Demon Sect, and illegal contact with Li Pingfeng, an insider of the Corpse Puppet Sect?" Liu Junlong asked road.

"No." Tangning said calmly.

"Do you admit to the two charges of manipulating a disciple of the Demon Sect and illegally contacting an insider disciple who is lurking in the Demon Sect?"

"admit."

Liu Junlong looked at the other people, fellow juniors: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Several people shook their heads and said nothing.

"Since several junior brothers think that the case is clear and clear, let's close the case! Someone, take junior brother Tang Ning down," Liu Junlong said.

The two disciples on duty outside walked up to Tang Ning and said, "Uncle Tang, please."

Tang Ning turned around and left the hall. Hu Xiaoqing and others from the secret security department were waiting outside. When they saw him coming out, they said, "Senior Brother Tang, please follow us back to the interrogation room first! Wait for the final decision."

……………………

In the hall, Liu Junlong said: "According to the sect's regulations, Tang Ning secretly manipulated the disciples of the Demon Sect and contacted hidden insiders in violation of regulations. He should be sentenced to fifty years in prison. However, he has a good attitude towards pleading guilty and has performed meritorious service. I think so. It’s enough to be sentenced to twenty years in prison, what do you think?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They all knew that behind Tang Ning were Luo Qingshui and Tong Quan'an. The so-called matter had nothing to do with them, so naturally they didn't want to offend others for nothing.

Even Lu Guang didn't express any objection. He did all this just to remove Tang Ning from the position of deacon. Since the goal was achieved, it didn't matter whether he was sentenced to more or less. What's more, he was only one of the jurors of the Intelligence Division. In terms of punishment, In fact, people are soft-spoken and can't say much.

The reason why Liu Junlong made such an initiative was obviously under the instructions of Luo Qingshui. Otherwise, how could it be possible that a person with a good attitude and meritorious service could reduce the service life from fifty years to twenty years.

If you really want to argue, tipping off and manipulating a disciple of the Demon Sect is a serious crime, and fifty years in prison is relatively light.

"Since all junior brothers have no objections, let's prepare a file and submit it to Uncle Luo and the head for review!" Liu Junlong took out a pen and paper, wrote a ruling report, and handed it to Ma Ningyuan beside him. Pass signatures and stamps one by one.

"That's it for today. I will announce the verdict after I report back to Master Luo and the leader."

Everyone stood up one after another, left the hall, and turned into light.

……………………………………………

In front of Luo Qingshui's cave, a ray of light came to him. It was Liu Junlong. With a wave of his hand, the talisman was handed in.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled in, and a light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a man with a fair complexion: "Brother Liu, master, please come in."

The two of them entered the inner room and came to the first hall. Not long after waiting, footsteps sounded from outside. Luo Qingshui came in from the outside. Liu Junlong quickly stood up and bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

Luo Qingshui sat down at the main seat and waved his hand: "Sit down! The interrogation has already begun today!"

"Yes, the disciples came just after the interrogation was over. Junior Brother Tang confessed to the crime, and the other junior brothers had no questions or objections, so it went very quickly. This is our verdict file. Please take a look at it, uncle." Liu Junlong Turning his hands, he took out the file and presented it to him with both hands.

Luo Qingshui took the file and took a look at it, frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Junlong asked: "Uncle Master, if you think there is something wrong, please ask for permission."

"Isn't this twenty-year prison sentence a little harsh?"

Liu Junlong said: "It is a serious crime to tip off and manipulate the disciples of the Demon Sect privately, and he will be imprisoned for at least fifty years. Considering that he pleaded guilty well and had some meritorious service to the sect, the sentence was only changed to twenty years, which is already very lenient. No matter how gentle..."

Luo Qingshui said: "Today is a special period and we cannot follow the rules. The Demon Sect is now rampant and has occupied half of the Chu Kingdom. Our sect has reached a critical moment of life and death and needs capable disciples. This man has some tricks, but In order to find out the usefulness, such disciples should be given a small amount of effort, and there is no harm in being a little more lenient."

"I wonder what Uncle Master means?"

"Let's do this! Go and ask the leader for instructions and listen to his opinion."

"Yes, disciple, please leave." Liu Junlong stood up and left the room, walked away from the light, came to the front of the Qianxing cave, waved his hand and handed the talisman inside.

Soon, a light flashed out from inside, and Zhuang Xinqian bowed his head and said: "Senior Brother Liu, master, please come in."

The two entered the inner room and arrived at a room. Not long after, Wei Xuande came in from the outside. Liu Junlong hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

Wei Xuande nodded slightly: "Sit down! What's the matter?"

"Today, the interrogation of Tang Ning's case from the Intelligence Department has been completed. I came here to report to the boss." Liu Junlong turned his hands, took out the file and presented it with both hands.

Wei Xuande took the file: "Ask Junior Brother Luo for instructions! What did he say?"

"Uncle Luo means that now is a special period. Tangning is very capable, so we should be more relaxed based on her talents."

"What do you think of this penalty?"

"According to the sect's laws, he should be sentenced to fifty years in prison. Considering that he has done little service to the sect, he is sentenced to twenty years, which is already very light. However, what Uncle Luo said is very reasonable. Now the devil is The sect is rampant, and the sect is on the verge of survival and is in need of capable disciples. From this point of view, we should indeed show mercy. "

"Yes." Wei Xuande nodded and said: "Sect punishment is the responsibility of Xuande Hall. Since Junior Brother Luo is the master of Xuande Palace, he should still be the master. Just do it according to his wishes! Let me make a suggestion. Please reply to Junior Brother Luo, He can be given an additional favor and reduce his punishment of ten years in prison, plus a fine of one hundred thousand spiritual stones."

"Yes, disciple understands."

"Go!"

"Disciple takes leave."

…………………………………………

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room. The stone door opened and Feng Jian'an, Hu Xiaoqing and others pushed in and said, "Junior brother Tang, let's go! Today is the day when the verdict is officially announced."

He stood up and left the room, and everyone was in the spotlight. After a short while, they arrived at the interrogation hall of the town government department. Feng Jian'an walked in, while Tang Ning was waiting in the dark room next to him.

In the hall, several people took their seats one after another, and Liu Junlong said: "Junior brothers are all here. The case will be concluded today. I went to Uncle Luo and the head yesterday and received the instructions. I think he has meritorious service, and it was at the time when the Demon Sect was plundering. , when the sect is dying, the head of the family specifically forgives his crime and gives him a lighter sentence, changing the prison sentence from twenty years to ten years and a fine of 100,000 spiritual stones. "What do you think, junior fellow apprentices?"

"Since it is the order of the master and Master Luo, we must obey it." Inspector Ma Ningyuan was the first to speak.

"I agree." Discipline Ke Weixun followed closely.

Lu Guang and Feng Jianan nodded.

"Well, since everyone has no objections, let's pronounce the sentence accordingly. Someone, come and bring Tangning up."

Tangning heard the shouting and took the initiative to walk out of the room. Two disciples outside the hall led him into the hall.

Liu Junlong said: "Tang Ning, it is now verified that you were a tip-off, a disciple of the private Demon Sect, and violated the rules by contacting lurking personnel. You are punished for both crimes. According to the sect's regulations, you should have been sentenced to fifty years in prison. But I hope you have a good attitude in pleading guilty. , You have made many meritorious deeds in the sect before, and the leader is merciful and forgives your serious crime. He will punish you with ten years of imprisonment and an additional penalty of 100,000 spiritual stones. This is the final sentence, can you acquit yourself? "

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness. Disciple pleads guilty."

"Someone, take Junior Brother Tangning down."

Two disciples led him out of the hall, and Hu Xiaoqing and others escorted him back to the secret security department interrogation room.
