Blood Shadow's Finance Hall is in Blood Shadow City, west of the Meeting Hall.
This place is usually a very lively place. After all, Blood Shadow disciples basically obtain their training resources from here.
At this time, there were fifty or sixty people lining up in the Finance Hall, preparing to receive their salaries.
At the front of the long queue was a middle-term Zifu disciple wearing a white robe. He was standing in front of a counter.
Behind the counter was a white-haired old man from the late Zifu period.
There is an abacus and fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones on the counter.
The white-robed monk looked flattering: "Manager Li, please give me more.
My monthly salary should be ten mid-grade spiritual stones, but I even went on a mission last month.
The bounty should be twenty mid-grade spiritual stones, and if you add one more, it should be thirty yuan. Yours is only fifteen yuan.
My salary last month was reduced by half."
The old man looked unhappy: "Am I in charge of this matter? I will give you whatever is in the account.
The accounts and spiritual stones are not something I can decide.
I will distribute it according to the arrangements above.
If you have any objections, go to the finance elder, what can I say to a steward?"
The monk in the middle stage of Zifu was angry: "Who doesn't know the virtue of the financial elder? If you can't pick up the spiritual stone when you go out, you will be considered a loss.
I asked him for it, but he couldn't even dig out half of a low-grade spiritual stone."
Manager Li's face changed: "How can you talk? You, an ordinary disciple who doesn't even have a position, dare to slander the powerful elder.
If this is investigated, do you still want to live?"
"Slandering an elder will naturally lead to heavy punishment, but everything I said is true, how can it be considered slander?"
At this time, there were many disciples in the Finance Hall, and they were all waiting in line to receive their salaries.
The quarrel between the two could be heard clearly by others.
At this time, a monk at the peak of Foundation Establishment asked: "Is there any salary deduction in our Finance Hall? How come I have never encountered it before?"
A disciple next to him smiled and said: "You are a member of the Shadow Master's clan, you have the Yan Kingdom as your backer, and you are also the direct disciple of the Second Elder. You are different from us low-level disciples who have no one to rely on.
The people in the Finance Hall will not go to trouble you just for a few spiritual stones.
Not only you, but also all the elders’ descendants, as well as those Blood Wolf disciples, will not have their salaries deducted.
We ordinary disciples are in dire straits. It would be nice to get half of the salary we have worked so hard for.
I have only received one-third of my salary for three consecutive months."
This peak foundation-building monk is Wang Tongguang, a descendant of the Wang family. He had not been able to enter the blood wolf before and worshiped Zhang Yue as his teacher.
It's not that Wang Daoyuan deliberately arranged it, it just happened to happen.
Other disciples in the hall were discussing this matter, and many people were glaring at Manager Li, which made him a little scared.
Once this matter gets serious, the financial elder will not have any problems if the higher authorities investigate it.
But since he is a small manager and has no backing at the top, there is a high possibility that he will be used as a scapegoat.
He could only shout: "Everyone, calm down, this is not something I can decide.
There are so many spiritual stones allocated from above, and if we don’t distribute them according to the records in the account, I won’t be able to transform the spiritual stones for you.”
At this time, an early disciple of Zi Mansion shouted: "Calm down, calm down, when have we not been told to calm down? How long will we keep calm?
Where have all the spiritual stones that should be distributed to us gone? Today we must give an explanation."
This sentence ignited the anger of everyone, and the crowd was excited for a while.
"Yes, I must give an explanation."
"Repay me my hard-earned money."
"If you don't want to give me an explanation, I'll go to the meeting hall to find the film owner."
…
At this time, the face of the early disciple of Zi Mansion who was shouting showed a smile of success.
Seeing that the palace was already in chaos, Manager Li knew that he could not suppress it with his own abilities.
He took out a message jade talisman and crushed it directly.
Wang Tongguang was selected by Wang Daojian and came to the Blood Shadow headquarters.
In addition to his good talent, he also has a bright mind.
He took a look at the situation in the palace and quickly understood that someone was fanning the flames.
The situation is unclear now, so it would be better to escape early.
So as not to get involved in disputes and cause trouble to the grandpa and the film owner.
While others were not paying attention, he slipped out quietly.
Someone in the hall was hooting again: "Every elder must know about this matter today. I don't believe that the finance elder can cover the sky with one hand.
Ask him to keep the account book and hand it over to the film owner and the elders later.
I want to see which bastard made this account book."
Next, there was another burst of echoes and angry curses.
At this time, in the meeting hall, Zhang Dingming was still wrangling about the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce.
"We blood shadows have always been solitary. Although there is no explicit rule, it has been this way for tens of thousands of years.
Now joining the forces of Yan State, what is going on?
From now on, will these branches listen to Yan State or our headquarters?"
Before he finished speaking, an elder from the later stage of the Zi Mansion ran in.
Zhang Dingming angrily scolded: "Didn't you see that the film master is discussing matters with us elders? How can he be so reckless?"
The Zi Mansion cultivator raised his hands and said, "I would like to report to the Shadow Master and the elders that there is chaos in the Finance Hall.
Some disciples felt that the salary paid was too small and quarreled with the stewards.
Now there are dozens of disciples making a fuss in the Finance Hall and even snatching the account books."
Zhang Dingming was furious: "Who dares to be so presumptuous? Are you seeking death by attacking the Finance Hall?
Immediately send the disciples of the Criminal Law Hall to arrest all these troublemakers.
The chief culprit shall be put to death, and the others shall also be severely punished.”
At this time, a middle-level Jindan idle elder said: "Great elder, wait a minute, as far as I know, the Finance Hall often deducts the salary of disciples.
I am not a blood wolf, and I have encountered this situation many times before forming the elixir.
If we deal with it rashly, I'm afraid it will cause a big mess."
Several elders who were not direct lineage spoke in agreement. Zhang Dingming was a little embarrassed and winked at the elders of the Zhang family.
The elder who belonged to the Fuzhang family immediately said: "The Finance Palace is in this Blood Shadow City. No one who has the courage dares to do anything under the noses of us.
We elders should continue to discuss the matter of the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce, which is related to the future of Xueying.
Dozens of disciples causing trouble, what does that mean?"
At this time, Cao Jing spoke: "You can't say that, the future of Blood Shadow still depends on these middle and low-level disciples.
Some of my clansmen have also encountered this situation. Dozens of disciples will not cause trouble for no reason, so it is better to investigate."
As soon as this statement came out, the non-direct lineage elders all agreed.
Most of them themselves or their descendants with poor talent have encountered this situation.
Xu Qinghe looked at the elders with a confused look on his face, and then said in a strange tone: "Elder Elder, this is no small matter.
There are dozens of disciples making trouble right now, and I don’t know how many more there will be in the future.
It would be better to conduct a thorough investigation and severely punish whoever is at fault, so that all the disciples can be convinced."
As soon as this statement came out, the elders of the Zhang family spoke out against it one after another.
The entire meeting hall suddenly became noisy and turned into a vegetable market.
With Xu Qinghe fanning the flames, Zhang Dingming couldn't suppress it at all.
Zhou Luan snorted coldly, and the aura of the mid-stage Nascent Soul burst out, and the place suddenly became quiet.
Wang Daoyuan had been practicing with her at the Blood Shadow Headquarters for more than ten years. Various spiritual objects kept coming, and her cultivation finally broke through not long ago.
"All the elders are the pillars of Blood Shadow. How is it appropriate to make such noise?
Since we can’t tell right from wrong here, let’s go to the Finance Hall together to see what’s going on.”
As soon as this statement came out, the elders of the Xu family and most of the non-direct elders echoed the words.
The Zhang family was small in number, so they didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Luan led a group of elders out of the meeting hall and headed to the finance hall.
At this time, the disciples from the Punishment Hall had surrounded the Finance Hall and were about to enter the hall.
Xu Qinghe shouted: "The disciples of the Punishment Hall will step aside for the time being. The Shadow Master will take the elders to deal with this matter."
