Chapter 269: Interrogation (IV)

"Explanation, reason?" Huang Ze couldn't help but smile, "The Qianye Sect is usually at odds with our Red Flame Sect, and it is even more eyeing and greedy for the black market. It is said that the Qianye Sect is setting up a lot of troubles in the black market. Oil and toxins, that's why fires started.

And no one can guarantee whether there are all the traps hidden by the Chiba Sect inside. If it is accidentally triggered, it will cause greater casualties. Can't this be explained to the outside world? "

"But, isn't this statement too far-fetched? The real reason for the black market fire is not this. Anyone who knows the inside story will not believe this explanation at all."

Han Yi hesitated.

After saying this, the air suddenly became silent.

Shaoqing, Huang Ze smiled, with a hint of "you are too young" smile on his face: "As long as the information is blocked, how many people will know the inside story? As long as most people believe that everything in our Chiyan Sect It’s normal, there’s nothing weird about it, so whatever the real reason is, that’s the reason.”

When Huang Ze said this, Han Yi suddenly understood.

The black market is on fire, this matter can be big or small.

Obviously, if the black market fire is defined as a supernatural event, it is a major event that must be taken seriously and handled with caution.

Since it is a major event, or a supernatural event, the first person to be anxious must be the Strange Affairs Room in Anyan City. If there is a strange incident in the city, and they cannot cover it up, the superior management of the Strange Affairs Room will definitely intervene and punish them. After they finish dealing with the affairs inside the foreign affairs room, it will be the turn of the Scarlet Flame Sect.

After that, the Anyan City Strange Affairs Room, who was very angry, had to go deep into the Chiyan Sect to conduct a thorough investigation and testing. This was not the end of the story. Maybe, in addition to the Strange Affairs Room in Anyan City, it would also alarm the whole city. There was even a visitor from a higher-level foreign affairs room.

If we were to conduct a detailed inspection of all the personnel, properties, and territories within the Scarlet Flame Sect, there might be no problem, or there might be problems, but the process would definitely not be fast. As time goes by, if someone deliberately makes some tricks in it, even if there is no problem, it will become a problem.

After all, if it were to be investigated, no one would be able to withstand careful inspection.

Therefore, if the black market fire is defined as a supernatural event, it is an act that harms others but does not benefit oneself.

If a strange realm appears in the city, it will just slap the face of the foreign affairs room, and it will offend them first. After being offended to death, asking them to come over to investigate would not just give them a chance to take revenge.

In other words, even if the foreign affairs room is fair and impartial and will not specifically trouble the Chiyan Sect for this kind of thing, so many people interrogating this and investigating that within the Chiyan Sect every day will undoubtedly greatly affect the industry of the Chiyan Sect. normal operation and development.

Not to mention, once a large-scale investigation is launched, the occurrence of ghosts in the Red Flame Sect will definitely spread. At that time, not to mention the negative impact on the Red Flame Sect's reputation, industry, prestige, etc., secretly, those outer disciples and handyman disciples with the largest number of people will inevitably feel uneasy, fearful, and uneasy. .

If we really do this, there will only be one ending, and externally, we will offend many forces. Internally, it will cause people's hearts to scatter.

If people's hearts are broken, there will really be a big problem in the sect!

But if the black market fire is defined as a fight for territory, it will be different. How many people died and how much territory was destroyed is only a problem between the two forces and will not involve a third party.

By doing this, externally, the relationship with Yishifang can be maintained, and it can even be said that Yishifang owes Chi Yanzong a big favor. Internally, many disciples would only think that it was caused by an attack by hostile forces. But since it is not a matter of ghosts and ghosts and can be solved manually, then fighting back will not be the end of the matter, but it will stimulate the bloody spirit of the disciples in the sect!

As for the reaction of the Chiba Sect... Anyway, the two are originally hostile forces. No one in the Red Flame Sect will believe what they say...

"No wonder you would do this..."

Han Yi raised his head slightly and murmured to himself, the conspiracy and calculations involved were indeed complex and far-reaching.

Huang Ze saw that Han Yi had a clear mind and figured things out without spending much time on his own. He also looked satisfied that "a boy can be taught".

Then, as if he remembered something, he told Han Yi: "You are the successor of Senior Brother Bai, and you are also one of our own. These words...are the original words of the sect master, and they are just internal discussions." ...Remember, it must be kept secret. If it is leaked, it will definitely cause a lot of suspicion and conflicts. If the finger is pointed at you, the Scarlet Flame Sect will never spare you. "

Han Yi nodded heavily and said, "I know, I will keep it a secret and won't say anything."

"Well, it's good that you know the importance." Huang Ze was also reassured by Han Yi's stability and didn't say much.

He changed the topic and sighed: "Although Li Chengfeng and I don't deal with each other and usually dislike each other, there is one thing I really have to admire. That old thief Li Chengfeng is indeed smarter than ordinary people. The cause of the fire was blamed on the Chiba Sect... This method is indeed the most appropriate method..."

"Li Chengfeng..." Han Yi couldn't help but have thoughts in his mind when he heard this familiar name.

His relationship with Li Chengfeng can be said to be complicated.

At the beginning, he, Pan Sheng, and Li Feng repelled the Black Wind bandits and successfully protected the team transporting fire crystal stones. This time he also killed the third leader of Black Wind Village, Tie Shou, and thus allowed him to join the Li family. After Chengfeng's Dharma Eyes, it was Li Chengfeng who promoted him to become an inner disciple...

Han Yi originally thought that it was Li Chengfeng who was optimistic about his potential and made early investment, so when he first entered Anyan City, he lent him a house to live temporarily and practice his martial arts skills and money.

But then, something went wrong!

He discovered that Li Chengfeng seemed to be colluding with Heifeng Village outside the city, and left some kind of mark on him, asking the second master of Heifeng Village to find him and take revenge.

From this time on, Han Yi gradually began to distance himself from communication with Li Feng and the others, and also wanted to stay away from Li Chengfeng's control. He always felt that Li Chengfeng must have secrets, or something unknown and dark. A little secret, maybe Li Chengfeng is the biggest traitor in the Chi Yan Sect.

However, at that time, Han Yi suffered from his low status. Even if he exposed it, he would be regarded as nothing happened. Therefore, he could only keep a low profile and hide temporarily.

But fortunately, after entering the inner gate, he found Huang Ze, who was also an elder, as a backer under the recommendation of Bai Sanren, and entered the inner affairs hall. He was able to escape Li Chengfeng's sight. Let the bird fly high.

From then on, he and Li Chengfeng basically had nothing to do with each other.

But he didn't expect that today, he would hear this person's name from Huang Ze's mouth again...

"I heard that Li Chengfeng didn't show up that night when there was a fire in the black market?" Han Yi did not hide his disgust for Li Chengfeng and directly called him by his name.

His current status is fundamentally different from before. He is no longer the helpless and unstable outer disciple. It will be okay to express his inner thoughts appropriately and stand in line.

"What else can we do?" Huang Ze grabbed the wine jar, poured wine into the jug, and said helplessly: "They said he went out to visit friends, and there are both witnesses and material evidence. At most, it is a punishment of neglect of duty. It’s just a few months’ salary penalty.”

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the wine bottle and poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth, obviously feeling a little aggrieved.

"Is that so..." Han Yi was slightly distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was some silence in the air, and only the intoxicating aroma of wine floated in the room, making people intoxicated.

--------------------------------------------------

The next day, Chiyan Sect, headquarters lobby.

"Okay, you don't have to follow me today. I'm going to the lobby first. I don't know when I will be back." After Han Yi explained to Shen San, he walked quickly towards the central lobby.

There was no pause along the way. By the time he arrived at the lobby, many senior elders and hall masters had already arrived.

When Han Yi came to the door, a disciple wearing red welcome clothes came up to him and led him.

"Why are there so many people today?"

Han Yi frowned and asked, looking ahead.

The group of people chatting in the front seemed to be the hall master who was in charge of traveling all year round. The old man with a white beard in the middle was smiling boldly and talking to the people around him.

When he was about to leave Huang Ze's home yesterday, Huang Ze told him to come to the lobby for a regular meeting today. It seemed that the leader of the Yaoyang Sect wanted to see him and ask about what happened in the black market.

But according to Huang Ze, the black market fire has been characterized as an enemy attack by the Chiba faction. If he is asked to attend the regular meeting, nothing will happen. It is just a routine inspection and inquiry.

But he only thought it was an ordinary meeting, and he didn't expect so many people to come.

"It was the sect leader who gave the order to convene the meeting. As long as the leaders are not too far away from the headquarters, they will come to attend the regular meeting today."

The leading disciple replied in a low voice.

Han Yi frowned and looked at the front, then entered through the side door of the lobby. The front was so crowded that it was impossible to get in and out normally. There were dozens or even hundreds of followers brought by the senior elders, all gathered at the gate.

"Convene a meeting? Isn't this just a routine morning meeting?" Han Yi asked.

"I don't even know." The disciple also shook his head.

Han Yi stopped talking, frowned, and felt a little bad in his heart.

If it was just for a routine questioning of him, was it necessary to engage in such a big battle?

After entering the lobby, he went straight to the inner hall. Before he walked in, he heard the commotion inside, with many people making noises.

Entering the hall along the central corridor, you will see a large group of big men with different costumes and different strengths. These are elite disciples and leaders of each hall.

Dozens of chairs are placed above the hall, which should be where high-level officials such as the elder hall master are located.

The top two are empty, no one is sitting on them, but everyone is there.

Under these elders' chairs, there are several rows of chairs placed according to the entrance of the hall where the elders are located. The positions should be allocated according to the entrance of the hall.

At this time, behind Huang Ze, there were not many people sitting on the chairs in the Internal Affairs Hall, which was a bit sparse.

The manpower of the Internal Affairs Hall is already insufficient, and due to the black market fire, Cai Yu, Lin Ping, and Wang Dong have also disappeared, so it is normal to see that there are few people.

Han Yi walked towards the Internal Affairs Hall. Huang Ze also saw him and nodded slightly at him, gesturing for him to go over.

Han Yi also noticed that there was a middle-aged man sitting on the first chair behind Huang Ze. He was holding a book in his hand. He was dressed in black and had a calm and gentle temperament, somewhat like a teacher.

This man's strength was clearly that of a powerful martial artist, but he had no aura at all, and judging from his appearance, he was not on par with the famous martial arts masters in the sect.

The middle-aged man seemed to notice that someone was observing him, and he raised his head and looked around in confusion.

Han Yi put away his vision of the system, squinted his eyes, and strode over.

An unknown martial artist with little reputation, or a member of the Internal Affairs Hall?

interesting!

"Elder Huang, what happened today? Didn't we agree that it would just be an ordinary morning meeting? Why did it become so grand?"

Han Yi walked to Huang Ze and asked in a low voice.

Huang Ze whispered to Han Yi: "I don't know what the sect master means, but nothing will happen. Remember what I told you yesterday. When the sect master comes later, just answer truthfully and relax. Nothing will happen." ”

He also didn't expect that it was an ordinary morning meeting, but it turned out to be such a grand gesture.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Han Yi responded quickly.

"By the way, Elder Huang, this is..." He hesitated and gently leaned behind Huang Ze.

"Oh, by the way, I was just thinking about giving you instructions and forgot to introduce you." Huang Ze patted his head and suddenly realized: "This is the leader of our Internal Affairs Hall, Hall Master Tian Jing."

Within the Chiyan Sect, the most powerful person is naturally the sect leader and deputy sect leader, followed by the elders, and below the elders are the hall master and deputy hall masters.

Therefore, the real high-level people in the sect are the elders and sect leaders. The hall master put it bluntly, they are senior talents who work under the elders of the sect master.

The middle-aged man in black also closed the book in his hand and smiled at Han Yi in a friendly manner with a gentle face: "You are Han Yi. I have heard about you and you are very good."

‘Hall Master? Turns out to be the most mysterious leader of the Internal Affairs Hall, the leader of the dragon who never sees the end? ’

Han Yi was suddenly shocked.
