Chapter 284: Decisive Counterattack
"What else is going on?"
"You guys don't want to deliberately make things difficult for Master Meng?"
Hearing Cao Xiong's words, Dean Liu and the others questioned, and the entire center hall became noisy, as if it had turned into a food market.
"What's so noisy?"
Right at this moment, an old man with white hair like snow walked in, his voice like a bell, vibrating the eardrums of the crowd, and those present instantly quieted down.
"Master Mor Guan ……."
As soon as Cao Xiong and the others saw the old man, their bodies trembled, they took a deep breath and hung their heads.
"Grandfather, what brings you here?"
Mor Li walked to his grandfather's side with a cheerful pace and held his sleeve.
"A big shot from Tiger City has arrived, I can't afford to slow people down!"
Lovingly stroking Stranger Li's head, Guanmaster Stranger walked in front of Dean Liu and arched his hand, "Dean Liu, ah, haven't seen you for many years!"
"The elegance of Goddess Mor is still the same as before!"
Dean Liu looked at the Stranger Guanmaster and smiled …… Some years ago, the Stranger Guanmaster had a tumor in his body, and he had done an operation in the Huimin Hospital, and he was the one who personally took charge of the surgery, so he naturally knew him.
"They actually know each other ……"
Cao Xiong and Deacon Zhao looked at each other when they saw this scene, a bad premonition surging through them.
"Patriarch Liu has come all the way here, so let me, the old Taoist, do my duty as a landlord and take Patriarch Liu to have a meal first, shall we?" Guan Master Mor made a gesture of invitation at President Liu with a warm smile.
"There's no need to be polite, Guan Master Mor, Master Meng has encountered trouble here, we're testifying for Master Meng?" Patriarch Liu glanced at Cao Xiong and the others with a hint of displeasure in his expression.
"Hehe, then let's settle it before we go eat, there's no rush."
Guanmaster Mor stroked his white beard, at this time, a few disciples carried some sandalwood chairs over, obviously better than the seats just now. Dean Liu was not polite and sat next to Meng Fan, and the rest of the people also sat down individually.
Guanmaster Mor swept a glance at the flower baskets and fruits all over the floor, and there was also a thick stack of brocade banners on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly before he finally sat down.
Because of Lord Mor Guan's arrival, the atmosphere instantly condensed, it was as if there was an unseen pressure spreading in the air, pressuring Cao Xiong and Deacon Zhao and the others to breathe sharply, the two of them glanced at the crowd of people seated in the room, blackened as if all of a sudden they had become interrogated as if they were being interrogated, their expressions could no longer maintain the calmness they had previously had, revealing a trace of panic.
"Then let's continue our discussion by continuing what we just did!" Cao Xiong stabilized his mind and sat down upright, speaking meticulously, "Just now, everyone has testified for Meng Niu Ba, so his mission is fine, I would like to thank you all for your support and love for Tiger Yang Guan."
Cao Xiong paused, "However, at that time, when handing over the mission, Meng Niu Ba pretended to be an oracle from Deacon Zhao, and deceived the disciples of the Merit Building, and succeeded in cheating the two hundred Tiger Yang Talismans ……"
"How is that possible!"
"How could Master Meng cheat!"
"You're falsely accusing Master Meng!"
Although they weren't quite sure what the Tiger Yang Talisman was, when they heard what Cao Xiong said about the situation, the crowd was instantly reluctant, and disgruntled murmurs rose up.
"Everyone, be quiet." With Master Mor Guan present, Dean Liu didn't want everyone to make the scene too ugly, "Let's listen to what Master Meng has to say first, Master Mor Guan will return justice to Master Meng."
"Grandmaster Meng, if they falsely accuse you, we definitely won't agree!"
"Master Meng, feel free to tell us the truth, you did a good deed for us, we can't ignore this matter!"
The crowd's words were full of support and encouragement, and Meng Fan smiled as he glanced at the crowd and stood up, bowing slightly.
"Because this is my first mission, there are some rules that I don't quite understand, at that time, I definitely didn't fake Deacon Zhao's instructions to deceive the disciples of the Merit Building, the actual situation, on the other hand, it was Deacon Zhao who took the initiative to call out to me, and let his disciples get this mission done, and what about the Tiger Yang Talisman, it was also something they took the initiative to give to me, but it's not even half related to me ah. "
Meng Fan laughed lightly and swept a glance at the silent Deacon Zhao.
And Lord Mor Guan did not move, adding a cup of tea to Dean Liu.
"Meng Niu Ba, you falsely accuse your superiors, but you have to be responsible for what you say!" Cao Xiong said in a serious tone, but in his heart, he couldn't help but curse, "You don't know the fucking rules, you know the rules better than anyone! Even fucking reconsideration know! Lying to hell!"
"This is natural." Meng Fan's tone was bland.
"Guanmaster Mor, Meng Niu Ba's statement is untrue, the disciple on duty at the Merit Building was also present at that time, and I, as a deacon of the Merit Building, would never have interfered with the normal operation of affairs." Deacon Zhao stood up and pointed at that disciple, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
That disciple's face was bitter as he glanced at Guanmaster Mor and hesitated for a moment before saying, "At that time, it was indeed Meng Niu Ba who lied to me, and I …… only gave him the Tiger Yang Talisman, and the disciple was at fault as well."
"Wow, it seems that Meng Niu Ba did violate the Dao rules, Meng Niu Ba do you have anything to say?" The Moral Guanmaster glanced at Meng Fan.
"Grandpa, how could brother Niubaba lie for such a thing, they're talking nonsense, can't you see that?" Stranger Li was immediately unwilling and shook Lord Stranger Guan's sleeve.
"Guanmaster Mor, if this matter was Deacon Zhao inducing me, and it was Deacon Zhao who made the mistake, what should be the punishment?" Meng Fan had a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"According to the rules of the Dao, the punishment for him can be much more severe, it is to be removed from the position of deacon." Lord Stranger Guan's words were affirmative, hearing Deacon Zhao's heart thump a little.
"That's good." Meng Fan smiled and spoke, "It was indeed Deacon Zhao who induced me, otherwise how could I, a newcomer and still on my first mission, have tricked the Tiger Yang Talisman from the Merit Building?"
"Meng Niu Ba, you'd better come up with evidence, or else your matter will become even more serious." Deacon Zhao's tone carried a hint of sharpness as he immediately retorted.
"Evidence? Rather, there is." Meng Fan smiled and took out his cell phone, tapping twice on the screen, and a voice rang out ……
"You watch, this is Meng Niu Ba, Meng Niu Ba who was promoted by the God of the Guan as an outer disciple, personally killed the intruder who invaded Tiger Yang Guan, and defeated Zhu Hong in the martial arts arena without any doubt, do you think such a character would fake for a mission?"
"For the sake of a stipulation and let such an outstanding disciple chill out? Cut the crap and go get the Tiger Yang talisman for Meng Niu Ba."
The cell phone's voice was clear and bright, and Deacon Zhao's voice spread throughout the entire scene, and the crowd heard the clamor in all directions ……
"So it was that Deacon Zhao who induced Master Meng!"
"That's abominable, this is simply a conspiracy! Setting up a trap first, settling scores later!"
"How can such a person be a deacon in a Daoist temple, too black-hearted!"
Deacon Zhao sucked in a breath, his face bristled, not expecting Meng Fan to record, stunned, he said forcefully, "Recordings can be faked, they can't be taken as evidence, Stranger Guan Master wow, he's planting evidence to frame me!"
