Su Xing appropriately showed hesitation:
"Don't blame me, Mr. Li. Tie Chong asked me to manage Dongshan. I just treated it as the rule and never complained. But I didn't know there were all these twists and turns."
Mr. Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He also knew some inside information before taking office. He knew that Su Xing was a very responsible person. Even though he was assigned tasks beyond his scope by Mr. Tie, he never dissatisfied or resisted.
However, Tie Lao was used to being domineering in Ling Zhifu's circle, and he didn't expect to be hit hard all of a sudden.
Perhaps it was as Su Xing said, he never complained. But maybe the person behind Su Xing couldn't stand it and arranged for someone to check out Tie Lao.
Unexpectedly, Tie Lao was directly punished as a prisoner without any investigation.
Thinking of the people behind Su Xing, Mr. Han smiled kindly and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Su. He is a very brave man who dares to embezzle his subordinates' spiritual stones and waste unnecessary medicinal materials."
"I heard that several unsold elixirs were found in his storage bag. They were all produced in the sect's spiritual field, and they were both stolen and stolen."
"That's right." Tie Lao seemed to remember something and took out four spiritual stones from his sleeves.
"Dongshan used to be managed by two people, and it stands to reason that offerings should be given out according to two quotas. However, Na Tiechong bullied you as a newcomer and arranged for you to be here alone, and he also received the extra spiritual stone for himself. .”
"The Law Enforcement Hall has recovered the stolen goods, and I will return these four spiritual stones to you."
Su Xing suddenly realized that it turned out that Tie Lao not only arranged for him to take care of Dongshan alone because he was unhappy with his handsomeness, but also the reason why he wanted to be greedy for the two spiritual stones.
After thinking for a while, I saw that there were only two of them in the room.
Su Xing only accepted two spiritual stones, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Li. It's only been two months since Su Xing came here. The first month he followed him to learn how to plant, and he was actually on duty at Dongshan for only one month. These two extra pieces are worthless and should be arranged by Mr. Li. Yes, I still want to decline from Mr. Li."
Su Xing is short of spiritual stones. But considering the two extra spirit stones, I don’t know if it was Tie Chong who had embezzled his predecessor, Dongshan Lingzhifu, or whether Mr. Li paid for it out of his own pocket because he wanted to “please him”.
Anyway, I will only be on duty for one month, so I might as well push it back so that I can build a good relationship and avoid leaving any stains in the future.
Mr. Li declined for a while, then "reluctantly" accepted, with an even bigger smile on his face, and promised that if Su Xing had anything to do with him in the future, he would just come to him.
In fact, Ling Zhifu's path to immortality is bleak, except for people who have resigned themselves to a stable life, or can find a small position like Mr. Li and Mr. Tie, and can make some money on weekdays.
Most of the others have been on duty for a few years and then found other jobs. This is why, except for the two new young people in the medicine garden, the rest are older and there is a serious age gap.
Therefore, the medicine garden is short of people, the actual number of people on duty is often less than the rated number, and there are too many people in the field. The excess Lingtian sects will provide Lingshi subsidies, firstly for welfare, and secondly, when necessary, the Lingzhu husband can also use Lingshi to apply rain to avoid delaying the growth of medicinal plants.
However, the subsidized spiritual stones are allocated by the director of the medicinal garden. Especially for ordinary medicinal gardens where mass-produced medicinal plants are planted, there are no permanent pharmacists and the director has great power. If you encounter someone with a dark heart, like Tie Chong, who deceives the superiors and deceives the inferiors, and embezzles some of your spiritual stones, there is nothing you can do against him.
Mr. Li has been in the medicine garden for many years and is well versed in its ways.
However, knowing that there was someone behind Su Xing, of course he had to "act fairly" and return the owed spiritual stones.
Fortunately, this Su Xing is also sensible.
So Mr. Li said with a smile:
"One more thing, Dongshan is originally on duty for two people. From now on, how about I arrange for one more person to be your subordinate?"
Subordinate?
Su Xing was a little stunned. He was already at the lowest level, so what kind of subordinates could he arrange?
It is estimated that Mr. Li wants to arrange a spiritual husband and listen to his orders.
That's the benefit of having a relationship.
However, after thinking about it, Su Xing asked:
"I wonder how the salary will be calculated if I continue to be on duty at Dongshan alone?"
"Haha." Mr. Li seemed to guess that he would ask this, and smiled on his dark and old face:
"Of course, it counts as two people. Don't worry, with me here, there will never be any corruption or perversion of the law."
Su Xing felt grateful and confirmed with the other party that he would be on duty alone.
Tie Lao can also understand that in the past, no one wanted to come to Dongshan alone because he had lost his spiritual stone.
Now, with Lingshi Zhaofa, one person can do as much as someone else can do for two months.
If you are too busy, even if you use one spiritual stone, you will still gain three spiritual stones in a month.
Just a little tired.
Of course, no one thought that Su Xing's spiritual power was magical, and the effectiveness of the spiritual rain was three times that of others.
Not only is it easy for a person, but he can also earn four pure spiritual stones every month.
The two of them both wanted to be friends, and the atmosphere was immediately harmonious.
Suddenly, Su Xing thought of something:
"I don't know the name of the law enforcement brother who upholds justice. Although he did not do it for me alone. But I have benefited from this. I dare not be ungrateful because of my humble position. If I have the opportunity, I am willing to visit and express my gratitude."
Mr. Li shook his head in a rare moment, "Fellow Daoist Su had good intentions, but that gentleman was acting in accordance with the sect's rules and punishing lawbreakers. He did not leave his name behind, he just asked me to hand over the recovered stolen goods."
Su Xing paused for a moment, thinking a little in his heart.
During the chat, he also got to know Mr. Li somewhat. He had been working in the sect for decades, so he was very experienced and well-informed. He probably knew the name of the law enforcement hall disciple, but he didn't want to say it at this time.
Obviously, the law enforcement disciple just didn't want Su Xing to know.
As for the reason, Su Xing speculated and it was probably clear.
The investigation of Tie Lao was mostly arranged by Han Qiaozhi. What the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall wanted was the favor of Han Qiaozhi and the connections behind him.
As for him, perhaps in the eyes of the other party, he is just a "soft ricer".
Really unfamiliar.
I don’t want to be acquainted, but there’s no need to offend.
It's better to hide your name, lest you catch the snake and follow the stick, trying to cling to the other party.
Mr. Li most likely had the other party's instructions, so Su Xing didn't ask further questions, expressed a little regret and continued to talk about other things.
After another half an hour, Mr. Li stood up to say goodbye.
Su Xing walked to the door.
Mr. Li seemed to have just remembered the spiritual masters standing at the door. Looking at these timid middle-aged men, he said:
"You are lucky. I don't want to get into the details of your collaboration with Tie Chong in corruption and bullying. Fellow Daoist Su has a kind heart and didn't say anything bad about you to me just now, so let's let this matter go."
The Lingzhifus present all expressed gratitude and respectfully thanked Mr. Li and Su Xing.
The leader, Li Hu, now understood that there was a connection behind Su Xing and wanted to have some friendship with Su Xing, but he thought that he had been relatively cold towards Su Xing in the past few months.
He was on duty alone in Dongshan for a month, doing the work of two people. He was tired every day and never visited him.
At this time, if you show your shame with a shameless face, you may be taken advantage of by the other party and be unable to get off the stage.
Just forget it, as long as you guard your one-third of an acre of land and do the tasks assigned by the sect, that's enough.
Anyway, this is how I have been for half my life.
Zhang Erjin stood in the crowd and looked at Su Xing who was surrounded by everyone.
A few days ago, he was a little secretly pleased with himself. After he became a spiritual guardian, he took the initiative to help the senior spiritual guardians, enthusiastically helped, and quickly integrated into the crowd.
Unlike Su Xing, who was criticized by his superiors and ostracized by the crowd. I was working alone in Dongshan doing the same hard work as two people, with no one to talk to or help me.
Unexpectedly, so quickly, the people who had been avoiding him before would surround Su Xing like stars holding the moon.
Everyone's face was filled with flattery and gratitude.
The only thing that didn't change was that Su Xing still had a calm and peaceful expression.
If others insult me or respect me, it has nothing to do with me. I am just me.
With this sentence popping up in his mind, Zhang Erjin lowered his head among the crowd of people who mostly held their heads high and thanked him.
At this moment, he, who had always been gregarious, became unsociable.
