Outside the entrance of the mine, there was a circle of resting miners. They were all gathered here to watch the show.
When Jiang Wang brought people over, they moved aside.
This was Jiang Wang's third meeting with Xi Zichu. This time, there were fewer girls by his side.
No matter how unrestrained a person was, he wouldn't bring women to a mine. It wasn't like it was a good place to go sightseeing.
However, after noticing the servant behind him who didn't have an Adam's apple, Jiang Wang realized that he was still a bit naive.
Did this guy learn the Nourishment Harvesting Technique in East King Valley?
Ignoring Jiang Wang's messy thoughts, Xi Zichu came up and said, "Last time, I specifically told you that I'm not an idiot."
He shook his head and said, "I didn't think that other people didn't think so."
Jiang Wang looked at the five people kneeling in front of him. These five people were all dressed luxuriously. It seemed like they all had some status. At this moment, their hands were tied behind their backs. They were kneeling on the ground silently with ashen faces.
"Who are these people?"
"The five clans in Jia City are probably dissatisfied with our Xi Clan's governance of Jia City. They actually bribed one of our Xi Clan's stewards to secretly participate and empty this mine. They wanted to use this to cause conflict between the Junggenjia and our Lian Clan. They wanted to use the Junggenjia as a knife to cut off our Lian Clan's head. After you came here representing the Junggenjia, they also bribed an assassin to kill you. They wanted to intensify the conflict in one fell swoop. Fortunately, Brother Jiang's strength is outstanding. "
Xi Zichu said slowly, "The cultivator who stole from the Hu Clan's mine was stuffed into the Hu Clan's mine through the hands of my Xi Clan's traitor. Although with Brother Jiang's intelligence, you'll be able to dig this out sooner or later. However, since I've returned to Jia City, as the host, I can't always let guests from afar waste their time and energy. The leaders of these five clans are all here. Brother Jiang, you can verify it first or deal with it directly. It's up to you. "
"Young Master Xi is too polite. I should be the one doing the honors as a host. After all, this was the property of the Junggenjia. Here, Young Master Xi is the guest from afar. "Jiang Wang replied in a neutral tone," Why don't we find a place to sit and chat. "
"That won't be necessary. I've been here many times when I was young, so I'm very familiar with this place. "
As soon as Xi Zichu arrived, he placed himself in the position of the master. When Jiang Wang emphasized sovereignty to him, he began to emphasize history.
From their previous contact, Jiang Wang could tell that this was a person who was used to taking the initiative, so he didn't find it strange.
Instead, he asked, "Then, what about the manager of the Xi family?"
"I've already taken care of it," Xi Zichu said lightly, "Since it's a member of the Xi family, there's no need for Junggenjia to worry about it."
He had worked so hard to tie them up and bring them to the mine because he didn't want to have any conflicts with the Junggenjia. However, when it came to his own sovereignty, he firmly guarded a line.
Jiang Wang didn't deny it. "Even though it's a member of the Xi family, this matter involves the Junggenjia."
"Even though the Junggenjia's loss this time was caused by these people's conspiracy, it has nothing to do with the Xi family. At most, the Xi family will be held responsible for negligence. However, to show our sincerity, the Xi family is willing to compensate the Junggenjia with ten percent of the loss. "
This amount was very generous and sincere.
An industry like mineral veins was a long-term business. It required time to reclaim them. For example, this celestial stone mine was estimated to take several decades to complete.
With the Xi family's compensation, the Junggenjia would be able to obtain a large amount of resources immediately. No one would be able to find fault with this.
This amount of resources might not be much for the Junggenjia, but for Chung Geng Sheng, it was a sizeable amount. Chung Geng Sheng was developing at a crazy speed, and he was in desperate need of resources.
Jiang Wang nodded. "Very well. I'll stay. If there's nothing else, Young Master Xi, please leave. "
Xi Zichu looked deeply at Jiang Wang. "I believe that Brother Jiang will be able to make an accurate judgment."
With that, he strode away.
When he came, he had escorted the leaders of the five families and herded them like cattle. When he left, he only brought the servant with him. His footsteps were light, as if he was treading water.
To be able to remain independent in Qi, the East King Valley was definitely not simple.
From this Xi Zichu, it could be seen that he was on a completely different level from Ge Heng from the Green Wood Immortal School.
At this time, Su Xiuxing, Zhang Hai, and Xiang Qian were all present. Of the transcendent cultivators in the Hu family's mine, only Zhu Biqiong was still in the courtyard.
Jiang Wang said to Xiang Qian, "Interrogate these five people and see if there's any discrepancy between what Xi Zichu said."
Since Xi Zichu had sent them over, it meant that they were telling the truth. They weren't afraid of being interrogated at all.
However, this process couldn't be omitted.
At the same time, he had to find something for Xiang Qian to do and guide him.
He was short on manpower, so even if it was a dispirited uncle with no fighting spirit, he could only pinch his nose and give it a try.
Xiang Qian had no reason to refuse his superior. With drooping eyes, he walked half dead to the first person on the left.
"Is what Xi Zichu said true?"
The leader of the small family was also stunned. He was prepared to be tortured, but he didn't expect the other party to ask so casually.
"... Yes."
Xiang Qian moved to the second person. "Is what Xi Zichu said true?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Then the third …
Jiang Wang didn't say anything and silently waited for him to finish.
After questioning the five people, Xiang Qian probably felt that he was being too perfunctory, so he asked again, "You're not lying to me, right?"
After receiving a positive answer, he seemed to have some confidence.
He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "Xi Zichu is telling the truth."
Su Xiuxing's eyelids twitched. It was so obvious that he was being perfunctory. Did this Pulse Wandering uncle really have nothing left to live for? After experiencing the Heavenly Retribution Earthly Annihilation Pill, Jiang Wang's level of terror in his heart had reached the peak.
Although he didn't have much sympathy, he couldn't help but silently mourn for this strange uncle.
Zhang Hai was silent, but his flickering eyes showed his nervousness.
Everyone present was waiting for Jiang Wang's response.
This was power and influence.
Junggenjia borrowed power, and Jiang Wang's own management.
In the world of Transcendents, power was power, and power was power.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wang didn't do anything to Xiang Qian.
Looking at Xiang Qian's innocent dead fish eyes, he just sighed. "You shouldn't be called Xiang Qian. You should be called Xiang Qian."
Xiang Qian sighed again. "Xiang Qian is also tired. You should be called Xiang Qian. Lying down is the most relaxing. Wherever you fall, you can sleep there. "
"Okay, okay. Go back to sleep."
Jiang Wang was too lazy to sigh and compare whose breath was longer.
He turned to Su Xiuxing. "I'll leave it to you. You should be good at this kind of work. Give me a complete set of information later. "
This Xiang Qian just didn't want to work for him. He wasn't even targeting him. He just didn't want to work for him. Jiang Wang wouldn't be so angry over this. At most, he would resign at the end of the month.
…
As an assassin, Su Xiuxing didn't lack methods.
In the end, the information he handed over was very detailed and verified Xi Zichu's words.
Jia City's Xi family was the dominant family. There was no room for the other families to survive.
These small families had long been resentful, but they didn't dare speak up. Junggenjia's development of a mine here was an opportunity for them.
These families worked together to frame the Xi family using the mine as bait.
In the entire incident, Hu Shaomeng probably only played the role of pushing the boat along. After all, the Hu family was one of the smaller families in Jia City. They lived under the pressure of the Xi family, so they were happy to see the Xi family in trouble.
As soon as Xi Zichu returned to the city, he immediately discovered this matter and quickly struck back with lightning speed. He killed the traitors on the spot and directly captured all the leaders of the clans, handing them over to Jiang Wang, who represented the Zhongxuan clan, to deal with.
This plot was very logical. No matter how you looked at it, it was logical.
Compared to the simple plot of Hu Shaomeng framing the Xi family, it was much more logical.
And the evidence was solid.
Logically speaking, with such a story delivered to him, there should be no doubt.
But this was Jiang Wang's biggest question.
Only a "story" could be so reasonable and intricate.
Real life was never perfect.
