It is taboo to go beyond your immediate superiors and talk to other people about internal matters. A single sentence from Hua Monogatari made Si Yaoqian break out in cold sweat.
"Hahaha, because I am his cousin! Originally he didn't want to expose this matter, he just came to me to complain. It was me who felt something was wrong, so he took the initiative to find the deputy hall master."
Ouyang Changqing also expected this, and took the blame without saying a word: "Deputy Hall Master Hua doesn't know who is beating Si Yaoqian, right? After knowing it, you will understand why Si Yaoqian was not prepared to take action.
There’s a reason to make a big fuss.”
"Oh? Is there still someone with a special status? Also, without any identity background, in the imperial capital of the Nadu Empire, who dares to provoke the vice president of the Combat Association?"
Hua Monogatari nodded and asked with deep understanding: "Who is that person? Deputy Hall Master Ouyang, please reveal the answer quickly!"
"Hahaha, it's not really a mystery. You should be very familiar with the humanized deputy hall master. He is the honorary vice president of the battle association that you recently appointed, Sima Yi from the Hongshang Empire!"
Ouyang Changqing smiled and bit out Lin Yi with an indifferent tone: "Look, we were all a family originally, but the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. There may be some misunderstanding. I, the president of the Alchemy Association, am not suitable.
To deal with it, we can only ask the deputy hall master to make the decision!"
"That's right, I'll ask the president to make the decision. If we need witnesses, there are three generals in our association who are at the scene. They know best. Do you want me to call them in and ask the president for questioning?"
Siyao Qian had already made oral confessions with the three generals. If he came to them, he would naturally be the judge of what he said.
"Deputy Hall Master Hua, one of them involved is the vice-president of your battle association, and the other is the honorary vice-president of your battle association. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. After asking what happened, Deputy Hall Master Hua, can you please
Deal with it fairly and justly!”
Ouyang Changqing implicitly put some pressure on Hua Monogatari.
This means that after asking the three generals, Lin Yi should be dealt with properly and should not be treated lightly for personal gain.
Hua Monogatari frowned slightly. He was very happy when he heard that Lin Yi had come over. However, thinking that Lin Yi had been entangled by Si Yaoqian as soon as he arrived, he couldn't hold back his anger.
As for what Ouyang Changqing and Siyao Qian said, Hua Monogatari doesn't believe even a single punctuation mark!
Hua Monogatari feels that he is very clear about Lin Yi's character. He is arrogant and domineering and takes the initiative to stir up troubles, which is not something Lin Yi can do.
On the contrary, Si Yaoqian, this guy, did all these things without saying anything, and Hua Monogatari has already figured out what happened.
"Don't worry, Deputy Hall Master Ouyang, I know about this matter, and I will definitely handle it fairly and justly! The three generals involved will not be busy for now. I will go to the place where the incident occurred to investigate carefully and figure out the whole ins and outs."
Hua Monogatari had some concerns in his mind and said calmly: "Vice President Si, where did you say Sima Yi had a conflict with you?"
"...restaurant..."
Si Yaoqian suddenly had an idea, but he still wanted to conduct an on-site investigation? The rhythm of this matter was not right!
He didn't want to go to such a shameful place a second time!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that everyone in the restaurant knows what is going on, and he has not had time to silence him!
I really want to investigate the story, but everything is wrong!
What should I do?
I don’t know if it’s too late to silence him now. If Hua Monogatari is silenced, will Hua Monogatari be suspicious? I wonder if it’s okay to blame it on Sima Yi?
"If it's a restaurant, there should be quite a few people who witnessed what happened. Let's go with me and ask those witnesses. By the way, I'll also bring Sima Yi with me. You can talk to me face to face!"
Hua Monogatari looked like he was working vigorously and resolutely. He patted the table in front of him and said: "Without further delay, let's go now!"
The Yaoqian officials were so panicked that they didn’t even have the chance to silence them!
Once Kaimonogatari investigates the truth of the matter, he will really be dead!
He allowed his generals to bully the people and beat the civilians arrogantly. He couldn't beat them. He, the vice president, even personally came out to support them. But he was punished and wanted to bite back...
If these series of facts are laid out, it would be no problem for Hakmonogatari to demote him as the vice-president to the rank of general!
"President, don't be in a hurry. It's rare for you to come to my cousin's place. You haven't even had a few glasses of good wine... Come on, come on, I'll give you another drink, President!"
Si Yaoqian wiped his cold sweat, forcibly changed the subject, raised his glass and tried to get away with it.
As a result, Monogatari had a serious look on his face: "No, how can I still drink when I have business to do? Let's take care of the matter first, and there will be plenty of time to drink in the future!"
Si Yaoqian wanted to cry but had no tears. He had dug a hole and jumped into it!
He looked at his cousin Ouyang Changqing with pleading eyes, hoping that his cousin could come out and say something.
Ouyang Changqing immediately understood the trap.
In fact, Ouyang Changqing had already predicted it. Didn't he know the virtues of Si Yaoqian?
I thought it would be enough to put pressure on Bakemonogatari and let him ask those few generals casually, but I didn't expect that he would take it seriously and go directly to the scene!
Haha, it seems that Sima Yi is very important in Hua Wu Yu's heart!
Ouyang Changqing's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "Vice Hall Master Hua, in fact, this matter is not a big deal. We are all our own people. It's just a small misunderstanding. It will be fine if we let it go!"
"What I meant before was that I hope that Deputy Hall Master Hua can treat the two of them fairly and justly when handling this matter. Don't let Si Yaoqian be my cousin and the vice-president of the Combat Association.
Do you have any partiality?"
Ouyang Changqing laughed a few times: "After all, Vice-President Sima Yi has just arrived. If something unpleasant happens due to a misunderstanding and he is punished, he may be disappointed with our Wumeng branch. That would be bad!"
Hua Monogatari narrowed his eyes and looked at Ouyang Changqing thoughtfully: "So this is what Deputy Hall Master Ouyang meant! Then I just understood it a little bit wrong!"
"Haha... President Hua, my cousin has always been selfless and will not favor me just because he has some relationship with his subordinates..."
Si Yaoqian laughed dryly, understanding that Ouyang Changqing was already helping him by saying this, so he followed the words and said: "I think it seems to me that the president is busy with affairs and it is not worth wasting time on such a trivial matter. It is better to deal with that first." Several generals called for questioning."
"To be fair to the president, my subordinates actually didn't quite understand what happened when they went there, so they had a conflict with Vice-President Sima. It's necessary to find those guys and ask for details!"
"That's it...then go and call someone over!"
Hua Monogatari nodded lightly: "The people on Deputy Hall Master Ouyang's side don't know who to look for. Vice President of the Hard-working Division should make a trip in person!"
"It should be, it should be, come as soon as you go!"
