Inspectorate.
Huang Hao pointed out that it was Zhai Feng and others who asked him to spread the rumors.
Zhai Feng and Huang Qifeng also admitted it, but they refused to admit that they had slandered other people. They only wanted to target Chen Yong and Wu Jia.
These two are different!
Slandering Chen Yong and Wu Jia is a personal vendetta and a personal grudge. Spreading rumors and disrespecting teachers and elders is not a capital crime.
But now the matter has become so serious that it even involves the entire Daxia Prefecture. Once the charges are proven, he might really die.
Interrogation room.
Huang Qifeng's face turned pale, and he shouted, "My fellow ministers, we really have no intention of slandering other ministers and schools. Huang Hao is lying, he is cheating people, we are not!"
Qiu Yun's face was already pale with fear, and she hurriedly looked over at Zhou Mingren, "Grandmaster, we really didn't do that. We are not crazy. We will do what we can to target Wu Jia and the others, but there is no reason for us to anger the other elders!"
The ministers ignored them.
Elder Qi looked at the elders who came with him to inspect, then looked at Elder Huang, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Hao didn't lie, and these people... didn't lie either."
Yes, they are not stupid, they can see it.
That means something is wrong!
But no matter what, these people did spread rumors and slandered Chen Yong. After all, Chen Yong was a powerful man of the ninth level of Lingyun and the director of the library. Even if they were just slandering Chen Yong, now that the evidence is solid, they must bear the punishment.
On the other side, Zhou Mingren closed his eyes and did not speak.
Huang Lao said in a deep voice: "How dare these people slander Chen Yong for no reason? There must be someone behind them!"
Elder Qi glanced at him and said nothing more. He looked at Zhai Feng and the others and said calmly, "Who asked you to spread rumors?"
"No one..."
"Think it over carefully first!"
Elder Qi said calmly: "It's not a big deal for a researcher to slander his colleagues. But it's a big deal for a student to slander a senior member of the university!"
This is the truth.
This is an era where strength is respected!
The crimes of Yang Xing slandering Ling Yun and Ling Yun slandering Ling Yun are different.
At this moment, Zhou Mingren suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly: "I ordered them to do that. I just asked them to find a way to deal with Wu Jia and take down the position of Director Chen Yong. As for the rumors, I didn't think much about it."
Elder Qi and Elder Huang looked at him instantly!
Huang Lao said coldly: "Director Zhou, you must be responsible for what you say!"
In fact, several people had vaguely guessed that it was not Zhou Mingren who was instigated, but that idiot Zhou Pingsheng!
Yu Hong and Sun Ge Lao also looked at him. Zhou Mingren said calmly, "Of course I will take responsibility. This happened unintentionally. I will take responsibility. I will resign from the position of deputy dean of the academy. Are you satisfied with this punishment?"
He wants to resign from the position of deputy mayor!
Several ministers frowned. What was the difference between the deputy governor and a minister
The biggest difference is that once Wan Tiansheng dies or no longer serves as the mayor, these deputy mayors will be qualified to lead the entire Daxia Civilization Academy.
Another point is that the deputy governor is qualified to interfere in the affairs of other colleges.
For example, in the academies of Divine Pills and Divine Talismans, the deputy dean is also qualified to participate.
And now, Zhou Mingren has resigned, which means that he will only be in charge of the Divine Literature College in the future and will no longer interfere in other affairs of the school. The loss is still huge.
Old Huang looked at Zhou Mingren with a cold look in his eyes. "Director Zhou, you must be responsible for what you say! It is not a good choice to take the blame for someone else. You are the deputy director. If you really want to say that you did it, then we can't continue to investigate..."
How can we investigate now that Zhou Mingren has admitted it
Even if Zhou Pingsheng was found, the other party would say what Zhou Mingren said, that dealing with Ling Yun is not as simple as dealing with Yang Xing.
They could tell whether Yang Xing was lying or not, but when he took off into the air, even the sun and the moon could hardly be distinguished.
The willpower of the air is materialized and its intensity is greatly increased. It is not so simple at that time.
Zhou Mingren was as calm as water. "I told you, I gave the order, so you should punish them as you see fit. What else do you want to know?"
Lord Qi frowned!
He glanced at Zhou Mingren and frowned, "Old Zhou, there are some things that we know clearly. We are all from Shanhai and even Sun and Moon. Some tricks are really boring! When Zheng Yuming was here, at least everything was in accordance with the rules. Your faction is diverse but not chaotic. At least there are rules... Now, hehe!"
Zhou Mingren felt a hidden pain in his heart.
Don't I know
I know!
But, don’t you know who destroyed Yuming
Huang Lao glanced at Zhou Mingren and regained his composure. "Since Mayor Zhou admitted that he was the mastermind, Mayor Wan will decide on this matter! As for Zhai Feng and his group..."
Zhou Mingren was willing to take the blame, and now he couldn't be sure whether they had spread the blame to Chen Yong alone or to everyone...
Huang Lao pondered for a moment and said, "Huang Hao and his executors have ruined the reputation of the school and slandered the teachers. From today on, they will be deprived of all the school's benefits, the right to enter the secret realm, and the book pavilion and library... In addition, they will be fined 30 strokes, 100 merit points will be confiscated, and a serious offense will be recorded in the file!"
No one said anything.
Mr. Huang continued, "Zhai Feng, Huang Qifeng, Qiu Yun, and others, as rumor makers, will be punished with 100 lashes! Minus 1,000 merit points! Deprived of all rights within the school..."
After this, Zhou Mingren sighed, "I ordered them to do this, and they are just executors. I can punish them with flogging, record their demerits, and deprive them of all their rights... They are all top 100 students, vacant reserve students, and I hope the Inspectorate will forgive them as appropriate."
If their privileges are revoked, it means that they will not be able to take part in the next journey to the secret realm of the sea of consciousness.
Whipping is much more painful than you might imagine.
If you are punished, it will be a big trouble in the future.
Confiscating 1,000 merit points is also a large amount.
However, none of this is as tragic as depriving them of all rights, which means they will lose many opportunities in school.
Why should we come to the university to study, just to obtain these rights
Once they are deprived of it, it would be equivalent to being expelled from the academy in disguise. These people are all elites of the Shan Shenwen department. If they are all destroyed at once, the loss would be too heavy!
Huang Lao said calmly: "This is their own fault! At least, I have reserved the right for them to stay in the academy. If they make great contributions in the future, they can offset this punishment!"
"great merit?"
Zhou Mingren was silent for a while, then said, "Will destroying the stronghold of the Ten Thousand Races Sect be considered a great achievement?"
"Calculate!"
Old Huang's eyes flickered as he said, "Master Zhou, think carefully. Merit cannot be transferred privately! If you claim credit, you will be beheaded!"
"I know!"
Zhou Mingren looked at Zhai Feng and the others and whispered, "There is still a chance. The Great Xia Mansion has made great contributions. You guys can fly very fast. As long as you wipe out a few of the Myriad Races Sect's strongholds, your merits and demerits will offset each other, and there is still a chance to offset everything that happened today!"
Sigh in my heart!
Heavy losses!
A bunch of idiots!
As for myself, I lost my position as deputy governor, so I just let it go.
At this point, it is time to retract the tentacles of the Single Divine Text system.
He was powerful before and could interfere in the affairs of other colleges, but now he is powerless.
Mr. Huang ignored him and continued, "In addition... Zhou Pingsheng, Yang Chao, Min He... have failed to teach properly, and their merits will be suspended for one year, and they will not be allowed to apply for job title promotion assessments within three years..."
"Huang Chen!"
Zhou Mingren suddenly looked at Mr. Huang, his eyes changing as he said, "They know nothing about this. It's ok to deduct one year's salary, but they can't apply for job title promotion assessment within three years. Is that too much?"
He cannot apply for promotion within three years, which means that even if Zhou Pingsheng becomes the director of the museum or the leader of a vein, he cannot become a cabinet minister.
Because, the cabinet minister needs to have at least the title of senior researcher.
But Zhou Pingsheng no longer has this opportunity.
Old Huang glanced at him and said calmly, "If you have any dissatisfaction with the governor Zhou, you can appeal! Now, the Inspectorate has imposed a lighter punishment for the sake of the governor Zhou's face!"
Zhou Mingren frowned and stopped talking.
Within three years... many researchers were unable to apply for professional title promotion.
Not only Zhou Pingsheng, but also several other researchers, some of them are in the promotion stage. In this way, the voice of Shan Shenwen's department will be further reduced.
He glanced at Huang Chen with a rather unhappy expression.
The Inspectorate was not like this before.
Mr. Huang ignored him and continued, "In addition, the student has a bad character. As a teacher, I have a heavy responsibility! The school will be inspected at the end of this year. The Inspectorate will investigate thoroughly. The Inspectorate also wants to see what the researchers of the school are thinking!"
After these words came out, Yu Hong and the others also changed color, and Yu Hong shouted: "Huang Chen, what do you mean?"
"What's the meaning?"
Huang Lao looked at her and said calmly, "Supervision! Don't you understand? The duty of the Supervisory Office! Elder Yu Hong wants to interfere with the work of the Supervisory Office? The clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid! I hope that after you go back, you will supervise others! This year's supervision will be thorough! Including the treasury, accounts, school hours, research projects, financial accounts... will be thoroughly checked!"
Huang Lao said coldly: "I want to see, with so much income every year, why is there still a shortage of funds and students are hard to find a penny! Daxia Civilization Academy, I think there should be no shortage of money! Including the Will Writing, even if students can't observe it every day, it's still okay to observe it once a week or two. But now, many students have shown signs of being hard to find a penny after half a year or even a year!"
"Including the Divine Pill Department, Divine Talisman Department, Weapon Casting Department, and Beast Taming Department... It's best for you to go back and check yourselves. Don't wait until the end of the year to conduct a thorough inspection so that I can catch you!"
Huang Lao looked at everyone and said in a cold voice: "I hope that by the end of the year, I can still see you, the elders! Don't let that happen and you be sent to the Vanguard Camp and stripped of your title of elder. That would be embarrassing!"
After these words were spoken, several ministers changed color.
The expressions of several ministers who were supervising the inspection also changed.
Huang Chen was not like this before!
Huang Lao looked calm, "Everyone, remember the lesson! In addition, the cabinet meeting will come up with a plan as soon as possible. I will inform all parties and punish the students in public to let the outside world see that there are still rules in the Great Xia Civilization Academy! You can fight, but don't overstep the line! Once you cross this bottom line, you will be severely punished!"
Everyone was silent.
Public punishment, public flogging.
The year-end inspection must be a major one!
Each and every one of these things will change the power structure of the entire institution.
…
The Inspectorate acted quickly, and the Great Xia Civilization Academy also acted quickly!
On the afternoon of the 15th, the punishment plan came out!
Open to the entire Daxia Prefecture!
Zhou Mingren, as a half-step Sun and Moon powerhouse and the deputy dean of the Great Xia Civilization Academy, was the first to bear the brunt and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Zhou Mingren was fined three years' salary and stripped of his position as deputy mayor.
Several researchers including Zhou Pingsheng were fined one year’s salary, banned from promotion within three years, and given a demerit.
Zhai Feng, Huang Qifeng and others were sentenced to 100 lashes, fined 1,000 merit points, and deprived of all rights and benefits of the university.
People like Huang Hao were also punished.
Including some students who spread rumors, they were all punished by deducting merit points, ranging from a few points to a hundred points. Some students who spread the rumors to a large number of people were given demerits and even deprived of the right to enter some secret realms.
…
As soon as the news came out, it shocked everyone.
It’s nothing for students to be punished!
The key point is that a Half-Step Sun and Moon Realm expert was actually deprived of the position of deputy mayor. This is no small matter. Half-Step Sun and Moon is also a top-level expert in the Daxia Mansion.
Because of a rumor, a top-level strongman was almost ruined.
The Daxia Civilization Academy was swift and resolute, and gave the result in just half a day, which gave the Daxia Academy's spectators a great surprise!
The key point is that it’s so embarrassing!
Zhou Mingren, a powerful half-step Sun and Moon expert, was actually involved in spreading rumors. This was a major blow to his reputation.
Deduction of salary, deduction of merit… these losses seem insignificant at this moment.
…
afternoon.
Mission area.
There are so many people here, today, they will be caned and punished in public!
In the huge square, teachers and students surrounded the entire square.
Chen Yong also came, bringing Wu Jia with him, and looked at the students in the square with a calm expression.
Not far away, Zhou Pingsheng's face turned pale.
Several of his students are here at the moment.
The teacher was punished, he himself was punished, and his students were also punished with merit and whipped in public. For Zhou Pingsheng, this was simply shameful!
Not only that, this time, he has become a complete waste in the eyes of several elders.
The teacher and several ministers naturally knew who was behind this.
Zhou Pingsheng looked at the students kneeling on the ground, feeling terrified and extremely angry at the same time!
He just asked these bastards to deal with Wu Jia, why did it get spread like this
It attracted the attention of the entire academy and even the powerful people of Daxia Prefecture!
End of year inspection!
What does this mean
This means that they have to make up for all their deficits this year. The deficits are too much, and the losses are extremely severe. This cannot be compared to the few thousand merit points that were confiscated.
Not to mention anything else, just the library must make up for the shortfall of at least 30,000 merit points!
There are other places too!
Including the college treasury, research institute, mission office, exchange office...
I took a quick inventory of the entire Danshenwen system today, and found that at least 200,000 merit points are needed to make up for it!
Before that, they had already lost hundreds of thousands of merit points!
From now on, Shan Shenwen and his family will really have to tighten their belts.
Some research institutes had to give up.
Some projects had to be stopped.
This is just a loss of money. Once something is verified, it is very likely that some researchers will be punished and sent to the Pioneer Camp. If they are lucky, they can come back alive. If they are unlucky... they can only die on the battlefield of the heavens!
Now, the researchers in Shan Shenwen’s department hated him to death!
Not only Shan Shenwen's department, but researchers from other factions of the academy also showed great hostility towards him when they saw him!
Because of his actions, many researchers were frightened!
Trembling with fear!
Why
Before today, he was still thinking about becoming the head of a vein, a museum director, or a minister this year!
But now, everything has become a mirage!
In the square, Mr. Huang appeared in front of everyone for the first time as the president of the Inspectorate.
A cold shout came: "Execution!"
“Bang!”
Several guards gathered their strength and whipped out!
"ah!"
Screams continued, and bloody marks appeared on the students' backs, with their skin and flesh torn!
Old Huang looked around and said coldly: "In the academy, there are still rules! The army has its own rules, Daxia Prefecture has its own rules, and Daxia Civilization Academy has its own rules!"
"Whether you are a student or a researcher, you must abide by the rules!"
"The reason why the human race can stand among the top ten races is because of this. If there are no rules and chaos on the battlefield, how can we still have the peace and tranquility we have now?"
"If there are no rewards for meritorious service and no punishment for wrongdoing, who will work hard for the human race?"
"beat!"
With a cold shout, the guards exerted even more force!
The Inspectorate has inspectors supervising!
If they don't work hard, they will all be punished.
Blood splattered everywhere!
He was not allowed to use his energy and willpower to resist, and was only allowed to rely on his physical body to endure. The physical body of Master Wenming was not that strong to begin with, and Huang Qifeng, who had been injured before, was now unconscious after being whipped several times.
Not only him, but also the weaker students, such as Huang Hao, were completely unconscious at this moment, allowing the whip to leave bloody marks on their bodies!
…
Periphery.
Chen Yong looked for a while, glanced at Zhou Pingsheng not far away, and turned and left with Wu Jia.
Wu Jia whispered, "Master, you don't want to watch it anymore?"
"I won't watch it anymore. My mouth stinks. I've been punished. I won't dare to do it again next time. It's a pity that some people didn't get the punishment they deserved."
Zhou Mingren
Chen Yong glanced at a tall building in the distance, where a figure was standing.
He smiled and said, "You are a good teacher. You even took this sin for the sake of your students."
On a tall building.
Zhou Mingren was also looking at him with a deep gaze, Chen Yong... I underestimated you!
This time, Shan Shenwen's faction suffered extremely heavy losses.
Your reputation is ruined!
Including him, Zhou Mingren, as a half-step sun and moon strongman, such a strong man is rarely punished publicly in the entire human realm, and he... has created a precedent in Daxia Prefecture!
Zhou Mingren didn't look at Chen Yong again, but looked at the person sitting on the chair next to him, and said softly: "Yuming, do you think that Shan Shenwen's school is useless? There are so many people, but they can't even defeat a few people..."
The old ones can’t beat Hong Tan, the next generation can’t beat Chen Yong, Teng Kong can’t beat Bai Feng, and the students can’t beat Su Yu…
Strength in numbers
Is it useful
Just a few of them have made you run around in circles. Shanhai was abolished, the prefecture chief was stripped of his title, the researcher was not allowed to be promoted, and the students were publicly whipped!
And there is that huge deficit!
Once these deficits are made up, it will be difficult for them to even open the secret realm this time. However, if they don’t open the secret realm… they cannot explain it. At this moment, they can no longer open it just because they want to. Those elders who have obtained the quota will not agree to it!
But once the secret realm is opened, people like Zhai Feng will be punished and not allowed to enter. The key point is that it is very expensive and will also consume all their savings.
Zheng Yuming sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Teacher, we underestimated those guys! Now we are being played around by them. Not only that, we have also offended many people from other factions, especially during this year-end inspection..."
Zhou Mingren nodded. Yes, this affected everyone’s interests, but others would not resent the Inspectorate. They would only think that it was their Dan Shenwen faction that caused the trouble.
Otherwise, why would the Inspectorate conduct such a large investigation for no reason
"Teacher, we have lost our merits and supplies. These can be solved... Ask the Great Zhou Palace for them!"
Zheng Yuming gritted his teeth and said, "The Great Zhou Mansion must provide these losses to make up for our losses!"
Zhou Mingren was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
"Also, please recall the two ministers Ma and Fang..."
"Lao Ma was punished to go to the Shanhai Pioneer Camp! It just so happens that he can take care of you. I will find a way to recall Lao Fang!"
"Mr. Ma was punished to go to the Vanguard Camp?"
Zheng Yuming didn't know about this yet, Zhou Mingren nodded and said, "On the day Hong Tan came out, he was punished. It just so happened that I originally wanted them to take care of you alone, but I didn't have a reason. Now it's not bad!"
"I am a burden to the teacher!"
Zheng Yuming sighed.
Zhou Mingren said calmly: "Not really. Are you sure it was Chen Yong who schemed against you last time?"
“It should be him!”
Zheng Yuming sighed, "I was watching the fight at the time, and what I saw was not Qifeng injured, but he was already dead, tortured to death. I was furious, so I was ready to ask for an explanation, but in the end..."
"Can he interfere with your will?"
"able!"
Zheng Yuming nodded. "He was the strongest one in the Top 100 Arena at that time. If it wasn't for him interfering, no one could have done it! He should have created an illusion for me. He may not have interfered with me, but he interfered with that small area of the arena!"
Zhou Mingren nodded and stopped asking.
There is no evidence for this, so it’s useless for Zheng Yuming to say it.
Just like this time, Huang Hao’s memory was definitely tampered with a little, but there is no evidence. Unless an invincible person comes to investigate in depth, otherwise, what can be said without any evidence
It is impossible to attack a Lingyun ninth level person without any evidence!
What's more, Hong Tan is still in the school.
"Teacher, the Multi-Shenwen School had been dormant before, but since this year, it has repeatedly fought back. Is it because the Great Zhou Palace can no longer suppress it?"
Zhou Mingren said softly, "It's been fifty years. It's not that they can't suppress it anymore, but they have suppressed it to the limit! Liu Wenyan and others have returned one after another, Hong Tan is about to be promoted... plus someone is behind the scenes fanning the flames, which is why the Duoshenwen faction keeps fighting back..."
"That… "
Zheng Yuming was silent for a while, then asked, "Should we continue?"
"continue!"
Zhou Mingren said softly: "This is our chance to take advantage of the situation! If there is no Duoshenwen, we will not be as glorious as we are now! If we cannot suppress Duoshenwen, we will lose a lot..."
Zheng Yuming nodded and said, "Then continue to suppress them! At least we can't let the Polyshenwen School be established again. Teacher, we should strive for more things from the Great Zhou Palace, otherwise, we will find it difficult to continue!"
"You don't need to tell me this. Zhou Polong will not let it go after Shan Tianhao is killed! Daxia Mansion is not his territory yet. He can only rely on us!"
Zhou Mingren said, "Since you won't let our people use the secret realm, then let's borrow it! Ask the Great Zhou Palace to send a few Eternal Divine Scriptures over!"
Zheng Yuming's eyes flickered. Teacher... you have quite an appetite!
"Wen Bing, elixirs, techniques, and texts of will... We want them all!"
Zhou Mingren said calmly: "We have suffered too much loss this time, so we can only ask them to help!"
Zheng Yuming nodded and said nothing more.
Zhou Mingren suddenly asked: "Who do you think is more suitable, Master?"
Zheng Yuming glanced at Zhou Pingsheng in the distance and sighed. It was obvious that his junior brother was not up to the task!
"Let's not appoint a leader for now, but we can find a few people to take charge..."
"How is Liu Hong?" Zhou Mingren suddenly said.
Zheng Yuming frowned and said, "Teacher, he was the one who flew into the air, and this man... is cunning..."
"What we want is a cunning mind!"
Zhou Mingren said calmly: "The others represent the interests of the other elders. Old Zhao is in seclusion, and Liu Hong is helpless... Lingyun Realm can be managed by the people of the other elders. How about Liu Hong be in charge of Tengkong and those below Tengkong?"
Zheng Yuming said in a deep voice: "He can, but the key is that I think his mind is not on suppressing anyone, but on improving himself. Liu Hong is a typical egoist, and he will only care about things that are beneficial to him."
"Then tie him up to death. If it is good for Shan Shenwen's faction, then it is good for him. If it is not good for Shan Shenwen's faction, then it is not good for him!"
Zhou Mingren didn't care about these things and said casually: "Everything still depends on strength and research results! Without strength, everything is empty."
Zheng Yuming nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, do you still want the position of the director of the library?"
"Chen Yong..."
He once again cast his gaze towards Chen Yong who was about to disappear. "Our people, don't make any more moves! Or within the rules, don't let anyone catch you. I'll go back and look for Xia Yuwen... If he doesn't want to fight for it, then he won't fight for this position!"
Xia Yuwen's injury is almost healed.
What hit him now was not physical wounds, but spiritual wounds.
Bai Feng's sword destroyed his faith!
This is the most terrifying thing!
Bai Feng, who was at the eighth level of Soaring Cloud, defeated him. This was the biggest blow to Xia Yuwen. If Bai Feng was at the third level of Lingyun, Xia Yuwen would not have been so disheartened.
Zheng Yuming nodded and said nothing more.
He will have to leave the academy next month. Until now, his injuries have not healed yet, and his main divine text is broken. He doesn’t know if he has a chance to walk out of the battlefield alive.
The two talked for a few more words, and finally, Zhou Mingren suddenly said: "The news spread throughout Daxia Mansion overnight! There are only a few people in the Duoshenwen Department? Even if Huang Hao's memory was tampered with, it's still okay inside the academy. There are still people outside the academy supporting Chen Yong!"
Zheng Yuming moved slightly and nodded: "Affirmative!"
"A centipede is still alive even after death! It seems that there are still some people in the Duoshenwen faction out there. This time Chen Yong has also exposed some of his tricks. I want to follow this line and investigate further. I also want to see how many people are still lying dormant!"
As he spoke, Zheng Yuming suddenly said, "Teacher, keep an eye on Junior Brother Zhou!"
"Um?"
"You know why Wu Jia was accepted as a disciple. Before she entered the school, Chen Yong had been sponsoring her studies. Chen Yong raised her like a daughter. Junior brother has violated his taboo this time. I am worried that something bad will happen to him."
Zhou Mingren frowned, looked at Chen Yong, and said nothing.
After a long while, he suddenly said faintly: "Pingsheng is dead, can Governor Wan still not take it seriously?"
Zheng Yuming was shocked!
But he dared not say a word!
These words... have so many meanings!
Teacher... he... is he going to...
Zhou Mingren had already turned and left, and said in a dark voice: "He is more likely to cause trouble than to help! Of course, your teacher is not that cruel, but I will be in seclusion next. It's fine if Pingsheng is fine, but if he continues to do stupid things, I can't save him!"
Replace Chen Yong with Zhou Pingsheng!
Zheng Yuming's face looked a little strange and he remained silent. Is it worth it
Worth it!
