Jia City's mayor's residence.
The mayor of Jia City, the chairman of the Xi family, Mu Nan, was sitting at the head of the table.
His hair was white and his aura was dignified.
One could vaguely see the elegance of his youth between his eyebrows.
He must have been a handsome man in the past.
He was rubbing a booklet in his hand. On it was written —
Jiang Wang was born in Fengxi Town, Qinghe County, Fenglin City, Fengxi Town, and studied at Fenglin City's Daoist Academy. He has a sister who lives in the Cloud Nation's Lingxiao Pavilion. Note: Fenglin City was destroyed in the chaos of the White Bone Sect in the twelfth month of the year 3917 in the Daoist calendar. Until now, it has been trapped between the Netherworld and the Modern World.
Xi Zichu, who was dressed in a brocade robe, stood below him and spoke with assurance. "… He already knows the 'cause and effect' of the celestial bluestone mine. With my compensation and his own harvest, he should be able to recoup most of the losses of the Zhongxuan Family. This way, he won't have any reason to stay in the mine. We can clean up Junggenjia's influence and completely control this region. It's just right for the future … "
At this point, he changed the topic. "As for Hu Shaomeng, he won't be able to escape from my hands. It's been like this since young. Even if he joins the Sea-fishing Tower now, he won't be an exception. Whatever he wants will definitely belong to me in the end. "
"What if …" Xi Manan rubbed his hands and said slowly, "Jiang Wang doesn't leave?"
"Why won't he leave?"
"Sometimes, overconfidence becomes conceit." "While you were fooling around with women, the heads of the five families have already returned to Jia City safely." Xi Munan gave his son a stern look.
Xi Zichu thought for a while and said, "I still underestimated Jiang Wang. But it's fine. He left those people alive to express his dissatisfaction with me or to extort money at the same time. After all, it's not a big deal and won't affect the big picture. I'll just raise the compensation amount a little. A few worldly possessions aren't much of a price. "
Xi Manan secretly nodded. This child was indeed smart. Combined with the information he had received earlier, he had guessed Jiang Wang's actions pretty well.
However, he couldn't help but be too conceited and overlook some things because of this.
"You still don't understand?" Xi Munan shook his head. "He won't leave the Hu Clan's mine."
"Why? I really can't think of any reason for him to waste time here when Chung Geng Sheng and Jung Genzun are competing fiercely. "
"Is it possible that he has already seen through your and Hu Shaomeng's intentions? If you can guess Hu Shaomeng's intentions, Hu Shaomeng can also discover your suspicions and immediately rush back to Qingyang Town. Don't tell me that Jiang Wang, as Chung Geng Sheng's chief hanger-on, can't see through you? "
Xi Zichu shook his head confidently: "Of all the intelligent people I have met, he is not one of them."
"Is the East King Valley's Four Ways of Diagnosis, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways, Four Ways Or is it because your skills are not good enough? "
As Xi Munan spoke, he tossed the paper in his hand to Xi Zichu.
"The old demon of the White Bone Path, the Dead Eye Lu Yan, has been plotting for many years. The cunning Du Ruhui of the Zhuang Kingdom came up with a plan of 'mutual discord' and hid it from the world for many years. The confrontation between these two figures is backed by the White Bone God at the bottom of the Yellow Spring and the entire Zhuang Kingdom. The fall of Maplewood City has long been a foregone conclusion. This Jiang Wang was able to survive that kind of disaster. How dare you look down on him? "
"He was one of the victors in the Tian Fu Secret Realm. The other victors who came out with him were Chung Geng Sheng, Li Longchuan, and Wang Yiwu! "
"In Nan Yao City, he suppressed Da Qi's Eleventh Prince, Jiang Wuyong. Lian Que, who made a famous weapon, almost broke off relations with his family because of him. Chung Geng Sheng did not hesitate to confront Jiang Wuyong because of him. "
Xi Munan looked at Xi Zichu with some disappointment. "Zichu, let's not talk about the first part. You know about the latter two things. How can you look down on the heroes of the world after just a few years in the East King Valley? "
Xi Zichu lowered his head. "Father, I know my mistake."
He quickly raised his head again. "How did you find out about his background?"
Although there were only a few lines of words in the intelligence report, the power behind it was extremely terrifying. What kind of power would be able to find out about a person's background in the Zhuang Kingdom from Qi?
At least, the Xi family could not do it.
Xi Munan was satisfied with his son's astuteness, but he would never praise his son. He only said, "Junggenjia."
Xi Zichu nodded. "It seems that Chung Geng Sheng really values this Jiang Wang. Otherwise, Jung Genzun would not have passed this information to us. In this case, I'm afraid we can't chase Jiang Wang away, let alone kill him. It's easy to be seen as taking sides. We can't be involved in the whirlpool of Junggenjia. We're far away in the Yang Kingdom, there's no benefit to winning. If we lose, the family will be in trouble. "
"You don't want the thing that you and Hu Shaomeng are eyeing?" Xi Munan asked deliberately.
"Compared to the Xi family's hundreds of years of existence, the other things are not worth mentioning."
"That's the logic. However … "Xi Munan said," We can't kill Jiang Wang, but we must chase him away. "
Xi Zichu smiled bitterly. "You said it yourself, Jiang Wang has made up his mind not to leave the Hu Mine. Since we can't kill him, how can we chase him away? "
"No." He immediately reacted. "I've already given up on that thing. Why must we chase him away? "
Xi Zichu looked at Xi Munan. "Father, are you hiding something from me?"
Xi Munan avoided the latter question and only said, "We can't kill him, but that doesn't mean others can't."
At this moment, a person who looked like an advisor walked in quickly and whispered a few words into Xi Munan's ear.
Xi Zichu recognized that this was Advisor Liu, who was trusted by his father. Although he did not have a real position, he was only below Xi Munan in the entire City Lord's residence.
He had doubts in his heart, but he would not ask his father for an answer in front of this person.
After saying a few words, Advisor Liu retreated to the side.
Xi Munan remained calm and looked at his son. "There's an incident at a restaurant in the south of the city. Go and handle it. Remember what I told you. "
Xi Zichu glanced at Advisor Liu and only said, "Yes."
…
When they arrived at the restaurant, the place had already been sealed off by the city guards.
Xi Zichu noticed that the city guards outside the restaurant had ugly expressions on their faces, as if they had been frightened by something.
Vomit could be seen on the ground not far away.
There was probably something disgusting and terrifying in the restaurant …
Xi Zichu briefly observed the outside and walked into the sealed area through the passage that was specially made for him.
Stepping into the restaurant, even though he had already expected it, his footsteps still paused for a moment.
He saw …
The entire restaurant was in a mess. The tables and chairs were all over the place, and there were broken cups and plates scattered in a pool of dark red blood.
In the middle of the hall, there was a huge iron pot with a raging fire under it.
On top of the iron pot …
Naked human corpses hung upside down like a forest.
They were all incomplete.
Some had more than half of their bodies cut off.
Some had white bones.
Through the white fog, one could vaguely see …
Half of a human palm floating in the iron pot.
