The next day, at dawn, Jiang Wang had just finished his morning class when Shuanzi came over to greet him.
He said that the young master of the mine had returned and wanted to summon all the cultivators who had worked hard to guard the mine.
From Shuanzi's eyes, Jiang Wang saw the uneasiness and fear that he was trying his best to hide.
He knew that Hu Shaomeng was coming back last night, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon.
And from the looks of it, he probably didn't even return home and came directly to the mine.
"Okay, I got it."
Jiang Wang didn't say much. He let the maid, Xiaoxiao, who had woken up early, sweep the yard and went to the place where everyone in the mine was discussing.
The middle-aged cultivator who had nothing to live for, Zhang Hai who was obsessed with alchemy, Ge Heng who was narrow-minded, and Jiang Wang. They were the four transcendent being cultivators of the Hu Family's mine.
Together with Steward Hu, they formed the so-called upper echelons of the mine.
Hu You was fat and looked more like a rich businessman than an official.
His son, Hu Shaomeng, on the other hand, was tall and slender.
He sat in the main seat. Steward Hu, who always liked to brag that he was Hu Shaomeng's uncle, stood respectfully at the side.
From Hu Shaomeng's sitting posture and expression, he should be a rather conceited person.
Jiang Wang and the others came in one after another, but he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until the four transcendent being cultivators had all arrived that he slowly said, "Everyone has worked hard in the Hu Family's mine for so long. I've been busy cultivating in the Sea-fishing Tower and haven't been able to come to see you often. It's really rude."
He said that he was rude, but he was disrespectful.
But even the narrow-minded old man Ge didn't dare to be picky.
Because the Sea-fishing Tower was the most powerful sect in the offshore islands. If one had to calculate the influence of the sects near Qi, it was probably on par with the East King Valley.
"You're too kind …"
Ge Heng was halfway through his politeness when Hu Shaomeng waved his hand and interrupted him.
"I invited everyone here today because I have something to inform you." Hu Shaomeng said lightly, "You all know that the mine is about to dry up. The mine has decided to close at the end of this month. I'll inform you in advance and ask you to find another job. "
Jiang Wang was stunned.
What did he mean? He was fired as soon as he sneaked in here?
Manager Hu's face was also full of surprise. Obviously, he didn't know about this beforehand.
The bearded man yawned and said, "Alright, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where we go. Sigh, life is just like that. "
Ge Heng glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Hu Shaomeng and asked in confusion, "Isn't there still half a year? Why is it suddenly shutting down? "
"Yes." Zhang Hai also said, "My furnace of elixirs is at a critical moment."
"It's decided then." Hu Shaomeng couldn't be bothered to say more. He waved his hand as if to send the guest off. "Go back and pack your things. You can leave now or at the end of the month. I'm going to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate soon, so I don't have time to talk to you! "
Pushing open the gates of heaven and earth …
Ge Heng shut his mouth tightly.
"Young Master Hu," Jiang Wang said, "I've just arrived at the mine. It hasn't even been a few days. When Steward Hu was recruiting people, he didn't say that. "
"I'll pay you monthly." Hu Shaomeng looked at him, the energy of the Reaching Heaven State leaking out intentionally or unintentionally. "What do you think? Do you still have a problem?"
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said, "Then I don't."
It wasn't that he had given up. It was just that Hu Shaomeng's impatience had reassured him.
Something must have happened.
He could leave first and come back when the change happened. He could see what was going on and wait for an opportunity to take action.
Although the Fishing Sea Tower was powerful, Jiang Wang wasn't afraid of anyone in the Reaching Heaven State.
Hu Shaomeng waved his hand. "Alright, you can go and pay the steward. I won't accompany you."
Only these few Transcendents needed to be appeased and dealt with by him personally. As for the rest of the ordinary warriors and miners, he could just shut them down. He didn't even need to inform them in advance.
Steward Hu seemed to be dispirited all of a sudden, as if he still couldn't believe that the mine would close at the end of the month. However, he definitely didn't dare to disobey Hu Shaomeng. He could only force himself to stay alert and lead the crowd away.
Because Jiang Wang was new here, he knew the accounts the best. Therefore, Steward Hu let him into the accounting room first.
Steward Hu handed over a box. "Ah An, take a look. If there's any problem, just leave your fingerprint."
Jiang Wang casually took the box and looked at it. He laughed softly. "You gave me half an extra one."
There were two hundred yuan stones in the box. They were both very full and hadn't been used. And the remuneration they had agreed on was one and a half yuan stones a month.
"Is that so? Because we couldn't recruit anyone, didn't we agree on two stones a month? "
Steward Hu winked at Jiang Wang as he spoke.
There was at least a hint of vitality on his defeated face.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask, "Why are you taking care of me like this?"
"This young man!" Steward Hu said with a sullen expression. "Just take it when you tell me to."
Jiang Wang could only put the box away. No matter what, this little old man was being kind.
When he turned around and walked out, Steward Hu's very low and disappointed voice came from behind him. "Among these Transcendents, only you really treat us as humans."
Half a Dao Origin Stone was the greatest support within his ability.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
… …
He walked out of the accounting room. Zhang Hai, who was waiting outside, was about to go in.
Suddenly, Shuan Zi's shout came from afar.
He stumbled over, panting and shouting, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
People dying in the mining area were usually related to Vicious Beasts.
Everyone became vigilant.
"Speak slowly." Hu Shaomeng spoke to suppress him.
Hearing Hu Shaomeng's voice, Shuan Zi immediately trembled. He calmed his breathing and tried his best to speak calmly. "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui jumped into the well!"
Who was Xiao Cui? Jiang Wang looked around and found that everyone was looking at Ge Heng.
Ge Heng's expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Cui was his maid in the courtyard.
Hu Shaomeng stood up. "Let's go take a look."
… …
The small courtyards of the four Transcendents were all independent and scattered in the mining area.
It was completely different from the large houses and bunks that the miners lived in.
Ge Heng and Zhang Hai's courtyards were close, and Jiang Wang's courtyard was close to Qian Qian's. That was why Jiang Wang always met decadent uncles wandering around.
When everyone arrived, Ge Heng's courtyard was already surrounded by a group of miners.
"Young Master Hu! Young Master Hu, you have to uphold justice for this girl! "
"Xiao Cui has a hard life, Young Master Hu!"
The matter was actually very simple. The maid named Xiao Cui finally couldn't bear Ge Heng's long torture. After Ge Heng left, she jumped into the well and committed suicide.
From these people's words, they pieced together a rough outline of Xiao Cui.
Including the injuries on her body, her sudden crying, and her several attempts to escape were all caught …
The miners talked at once, but no one dared to say Ge Heng's name.
They didn't even dare to look at him.
The dignity of a Transcendents had long been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Faced with the evil deeds of a Transcendents, they could only place their hopes on another Transcendents.
Ge Heng's expression was very gloomy. He swept his gaze over the miners one by one and used his gaze to force their annoying chatter to stop.
But including Hu Shaomeng, there were four Transcendents present.
He didn't know how these people would react.
Usually, beating and humiliating maids was nothing. These things could be easily brushed aside. Even the government wouldn't make things too difficult for Transcendents.
But as long as someone died. Even if it was just a mortal, it wasn't a small matter.
This was because every Transcendent cultivator was originally a mortal.
After the efforts of countless generations of knowledgeable people, human lives were at stake. This was already the consensus of any normal country or sect.
But.
There was a but.
This kind of consensus couldn't be completely solidified into a rule.
Just like how a powerful Transcendents dared to beat a servant to death.
Although this kind of thing was a crime, only the appearance of someone with more power could convict them.
This was the truth of the world today.

(It's 2: 17 in the morning now. Originally, this chapter wouldn't be updated regularly. The entire Hubei Province is sealed. My mentality collapsed. But when I came to this point, I suddenly thought, if, if something really happened to me. What can I leave behind?
I hope that my works can be left behind.
I will accompany my family and write novels well.)
