Chapter 116 Unexpected Promotion

For the next period of time, Li An continued to collect Tiansha Stones and practice as usual.

Mo Rong looked for Li An many times, because Li An's speed of collecting Tiansha Stones was far from her ideal, and was only average in the entire Treasure Pavilion.

That night, she asked Li An to come to her house late at night.

In the study.

"Zuo Wen, so far, our speed of collecting Tiansha Stones is far from enough."

Mo Rong looked solemn.

Li An frowned slightly, "Our current progress should still be ahead of Xu Changkong..."

Mo Rong shook her head: "It's not possible to defeat Xu Changkong. One of his granddaughters is the concubine of the Ninth Prince of the Wangfu!"

"Next month, the Pavilion will announce the candidate for the chief..."

She looked at Li An meaningfully, "I hope you can help me!"

Li An said: "Zuo Wen has tried his best..."

"Back then, the plan you used to deal with Lu Hua was very good."

Mo Rong ignored Li An's excuses and said calmly: "Now the Tiansha stones collected by Xu Changkong are also in the warehouse. You know the treasury best. If at this time, the Pavilion finds that there are a lot of problems with the Tiansha stones collected by Xu Changkong..."

"In this case, he will definitely lose."

Li An was stunned.

Mo Rong is... asking him to touch the treasury!

But now the manager of the treasury has been replaced by the Pavilion Master's people.

With Li An's current identity and understanding of the treasury, it is not without a chance.

However, the risk is too high!

If he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces.

Being a cannon fodder for Mo Rong?

It is okay to stand in line on weekdays, but being a cannon fodder at this time... is not safe.

However, he did not refuse. He hesitated and thought for a long time, and said: "If Mo Cixi can become the chief, can he push Zuo Wen to become a senior treasure appraiser?"

Mo Rong said firmly: "If I am the chief, you must be a senior. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly."

Li An hesitated and struggled for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!"

...

For a period of time in the following period, Li An collected Tiansha Stone while deliberately getting close to the people in the treasure house.

But in fact, he was just pretending, and he didn't really do anything.

The risk is too high, and even if he gave everything and really let Mo Rong become the chief, would the other party give him the position of a senior treasure appraiser?

Not necessarily.

Li An knew that in fact, the person Mo Rong trusted the most was Zheng Xiaoxiao.

She didn't let Zheng Xiaoxiao do this kind of thing, but let herself do it. Obviously, she values ​​Zheng Xiaoxiao more. By then, the position of senior treasure appraiser will most likely be given to Zheng Xiaoxiao...

It's better to do nothing and watch Mo Rong succeed or fail.

What if Mo Rong fails? As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he is still a treasure appraiser and can still slowly collect the Taoist poison medicine he wants.

So, crazy, help her?

Is she worthy?

...

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

On this day, the Pavilion Master came in person.

In addition, there is a heavyweight figure in the palace - the palace steward, Jiang Cheng.

Today is the time to announce the chief candidate.

"The previous chief has passed away, and the chief position in the pavilion is vacant. In order to continue the development of the Treasure Pavilion, today we will decide on the candidate..."

Pavilion Master Qin Xuan said lightly.

"My Lord!"

Mo Rong stood up and said, "I have something to report."

"Xu Changkong, the senior treasure appraiser, has pocketed the Tiansha Stone and sold inferior goods as good ones. Please investigate!"

She handed over an account book.

Everyone in the room changed their expressions!

"You are talking nonsense--"

The white-haired Xu Changkong stood up directly, his face full of anger.

The two of them started arguing.

"Stop!"

My Lord Qin Xuan's face was very cold. This happened in front of the general manager of the palace, which was a disgrace to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Cai'er, you go to the treasury and check it immediately, and you will know--"

She handed the account book to a maid beside her.

The maid left immediately.

She returned soon.

"My Lord, there is no problem with Xu's Tiansha Stone, and this account book is actually forged--"

The maid reported. Mo Rong was stunned on the spot. She turned back suddenly and looked at Li An.

But Li An was calm and unmoved.

At this moment, Mo Rong's eyes almost showed murderous intent. She wanted to kill Li An.

How dare he lie to her?

"Mo Rong, what's going on?" The Pavilion Master asked calmly.

Mo Rong's face was extremely ugly, but she could only take a deep breath and said, "Pavilion Master, the information Mo Rong received was wrong. It seems that there are treacherous officials who have framed Xu Cixi... Mo Rong knows her mistake, please punish me!"

She didn't dare to bring up the matter about Li An.

If she admitted her mistake now and attributed the matter to a misunderstanding, it would be a little less serious. If she dragged Li An into it, Li An would definitely be exposed. It was she who asked Li An to do this.

Then she would become the one who deliberately framed Xu Changkong.

This sin...she couldn't bear it.

This loss could only be borne by herself.

"What a misunderstanding!"

Xu Changkong's eyes were cold, and he wanted to say something, but Pavilion Master Qin Xuan had already waved her hand. This matter had already become so ugly, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the people from the palace.

"This matter ends here. Next, continue to announce the candidates--"

"Xu Changkong, take the position of chief!"

No surprise!

Everyone had a complicated expression, especially Zheng Xiaoxiao and other ordinary treasure appraisers who followed Mo Rong, who looked even more ugly.

Their lives in the future... will definitely not be easy.

Especially Zheng Xiaoxiao, she followed Mo Rong with Lu Hua back then, and had become Mo Rong's most trusted person.

If Mo Rong could succeed in taking the position, her position as a senior treasure appraiser would be a foregone conclusion.

But now...

It's all Zuo Wen's fault, it's all this Zuo Wen's fault!

Traitor!

She gritted her teeth.

And the treasure appraisers on Xu Changkong's side were all overjoyed.

One or two of them were even more nervous.

Xu Changkong was promoted to the chief, so the position of senior treasure appraiser was vacant in addition to his second place.

He will definitely be selected from his people!

"The senior treasure appraiser is vacant... After screening, the person who best suits this position is..."

"Zuo Wen!"

Zuo Wen!

As soon as these two words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on Zuo Wen.

What's going on?

Isn't Zuo Wen Mo Rong's man?

Did Xu Changkong use the senior treasure appraiser as a bargaining chip to make Zuo Wen defect?

However, everyone soon noticed that even Xu Changkong himself was stunned, and obviously didn't understand what was going on...

"Why, why..."

Zheng Xiaoxiao was a little out of control!

This position was obviously hers, and now that she failed, it shouldn't be held by Li An, a traitor...

Mo Rong also stared at Li An, and for a moment she was a little dazed.

From now on, Li An is on an equal footing with her?

"This is what the palace meant."

At this moment, Qin Xuan had already spoken lightly.

What the palace meant!

When this sentence came out, everyone was even more shocked...

Zuo Wen, when did he have such a background? ? ?
