Manager Hu's real name was Hu Laogen. When he was young, he was called Xiao Gen. When he was old, he was called Laogen.
He was indeed Hu Shaomeng's uncle, but they weren't close.
Unlike the Hu father and son, who spoke Da Qi's official language, he couldn't change his accent. No wonder he didn't seem like an upper-class person.
The upper class of Yang Country spoke Da Qi's official language. Sometimes, it became a symbol of status.
He had mixed feelings about Jiang Wang. At first, he felt that this cultivator was different from others. He respected him, so he felt that he was a good person. Even if Ge Heng threatened him, he wouldn't harm him.
Later, Jiang Wang revealed his identity and allowed the mine to continue operating. He even let him manage it. Now, he was grateful.
Now, Jiang Wang and Hu Shaomeng's father and son were about to fall out. He didn't know which side to stand on.
At this time, he stood silently on the side and watched Jiang Wang and Su Xiuxing talk.
"Sir, how should we deal with those people?" Su Xiuxing quickly got into his role. He was very sensible.
He was naturally asking about the leaders of those small families.
In his opinion, of course, they should be killed. But Jiang Wang was the boss now, so the decision had to be made by Jiang Wang.
"Manager Hu, what do you think?" Jiang Wang asked.
Manager Hu was stunned for a moment. He said respectfully, "Uh, I don't have any ideas. It's up to you."
Previously, he asked Manager Hu to call him Ah 'an because Jiang Wang didn't care about his status.
Now that he was in control, rules and decorum had to be established.
But Jiang Wang didn't want him to take sides.
Such an ordinary little old man didn't need to be involved in the disputes of the supernatural world.
When Jiang Wang first introduced himself to the mine under the name of Dugu An, it was in this room that Caretaker Hu had recruited him.
At that time, the repaired hole had been repaired again. Now, it was not easy to see it.
"Some of the holes have been repaired. No matter how carefully they were repaired, there are no traces left. It's also different from before. "
Jiang Wang sighed and stood up. "I'll deal with it myself."
Back then, the Hu Mine had built six small courtyards for Transcendent cultivators. Two of the courtyards were used to scam Junggenjia of their Dao Essence Stones.
Now, one room was occupied by Su Xiuxing, while the other room was occupied by the five people sent by Xi Zichu.
When they saw Jiang Wang walk in, they were all terrified.
Being sent here by Xi Zichu, they had already foreseen their own endings. However, the entire clan was in Xi Zichu's hands, so they didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Under Su Xiuxing's interrogation, they could only tell the "truth" in their hearts.
Hiring assassins to assassinate the Junggenjia envoy and framing the Xi family was a bold idea no matter how one thought about it. However, due to the influence of the Dream Recall Incense, in their hearts, this was indeed the decision they had made.
Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough.
Their only wish now was for Xi Zichu to keep his promise and not kill their families. Also, he hoped that Jiang Wang would be more decisive and not torture them.
"I'm not interested in your lives," Jiang Wang said as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
The five people kneeling on the ground raised their heads.
"I know you hired assassins to assassinate me, and I know you wanted to frame the Xi family and cause conflict between the Junggenjia and the Xi family. I know all of this … but I plan to forgive you. "
Jiang Wang smiled warmly. "After all, you didn't cause any real harm to me, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Sir, you're so magnanimous!"
"You're so kind."
The five people were ecstatic. They ignored the pain on their bodies and began to flatter Jiang Wang. If it weren't for the fact that they were tied up tightly, they would have kissed Jiang Wang's shoes.
Only Su Xiuxing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "forgive."
"However," Jiang Wang changed the topic. "How can I forgive you? I don't mind it personally, but your actions have challenged the dignity of the Junggenjia. If I let you go just like that, I'm afraid people will think that the Junggenjia is a pushover. "
The five people looked at each other.
Su Xiuxing bit the bullet and said, "Sir, you're so kind. If I were them, I'd be willing to compensate you with my life!"
The leaders of the five small clans suddenly understood something. The smartest one among them said, "Compensation! We must compensate you! Whatever you want! We'll go bankrupt! "
He started to cry, "As long as you don't kill me and my family, I'll give you anything."
The moment he said that, the crowd started to cry.
They were all scared. Those who had never faced death before couldn't imagine that kind of fear.
"Stop, stop, stop." Jiang Wang had to stop them. He tried to be as gentle as possible. "I won't even kill you, so why would I kill your family? There's no need for you to go bankrupt. I'm not a greedy person. "
"How about this? Three is a lucky number. Thirty percent. I only want thirty percent of your family's property to appease the Junggenjia. How about that? "
There was no need to hesitate.
"Yes! Absolutely! "
"Sir, no problem. Not a single knife coin less. "
The five people nodded like they were pounding garlic.
"As for me …" Jiang Wang said slowly, "Do you have any unique secret techniques? It doesn't need to be very strong. It just needs to be unique. Personally, I like to collect some unique secret techniques. They can make me feel better. "
"Yes! I'll have someone send it to you immediately! "
"We don't have it in our family, but I know where to find it. I'll definitely get it for you within three days."
"…"
Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction.
He felt more familiar with it.
"Xiuxing, let them go. Fold the money into Dao Origin Stones and send it along with the secret techniques later. "Jiang Wang smiled at them." I trust you. "
"We won't disappoint you!"
"Good people have good karma, sir."
He threw all the flattery and determination to the back of his mind. He left everything here to Su Xiuxing.
Since he had a subordinate, it would be a waste if he didn't use him.
Jiang Wang turned and left.
He didn't expect these small families to have any powerful secret techniques. He only wanted those secret techniques to be rare and unique. If they were offered to the Dao Development Stage, they could produce more techniques that could be used to unlock the seals.
Of course, he didn't take the initiative to help the Xi Family eliminate their competitors. There was no need to say such a goal.
He believed that Xi Zichu would be able to see and understand his warning.
The rest was just a choice.
…
When he returned to the courtyard, he called Xiao Xiao.
Jiang Wang didn't avoid Zhu Biqiong who was beside him. He asked directly, "Do you have any relatives you can go to?"
Xiao Xiao immediately knelt on the ground. She was about to cry. "Master, you … you want to chase me away?"
Jiang Wang casually pulled her up and said in a gentle voice, "That's not the case. It's just that this place might be very dangerous. It's not safe for you to stay here. "
"Master, I don't want to leave. I'm not afraid of danger. Please don't chase me away …" Xiao Xiao sobbed.
It wasn't until she met Jiang Wang that she was able to live a slightly more normal life.
She was like a drowning person desperately grasping at straws. She couldn't let go.
"If she doesn't want to leave, then don't let her go." Zhu Biqiong couldn't bear to see her like this.
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes at her. "If she doesn't leave, then you'll stay and protect her if there's any danger."
"I'll protect her," Zhu Biqiong retorted.
"Alright. It's a deal. "
Zhu Biqiong: "…"
She suddenly felt like she had been tricked.
At this moment, Jiang Wang said, "Do you still want to exchange your Shen Pearl? I can exchange my Binding Tiger with you. However, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about it. "
Of course, the Binding Tiger was precious, but it wasn't the only one. Exchanging it for the Shen Pearl could instantly increase one's combat strength. It was a good deal.
"Of course!" Zhu Biqiong said crisply. She hurriedly took out the Shen Pearl and handed it to Jiang Wang. "Here!"
She was afraid that Jiang Wang would regret it.
For Zhu Biqiong, the Shen Pearl was also a treasure. However, she could still find a way to get a new one from the Fishing Ocean Tower. However, the Binding Tiger was a rare Daoist technique. She had personally experienced it before. It was definitely a wonderful combat technique.
Jiang Wang handed the copy he had made a long time ago to Zhu Biqiong, completing this win-win exchange.
With the help of the Shen Pearl, he was looking forward to seeing the power of this Daoist technique.
