With the death of the Hu father and son, the incident at the Hu Mine had come to an end.
The truth was revealed, the mastermind was brought to justice, the compensation from the Xi Family, the Hu Family's assets, and the compensation from the five small families in Jia City …
Whether it was the truth, benefits, or face, everything was taken care of.
This time, the depletion of the celestial bluestone mine was a complete success, no one could find fault with it.
It laid the foundation for him to take over all the Junggenjia's businesses in Yang Country.
Jiang Wang's prestige in the Hu Mine had been established.
Prestige, one for power, the other for trust.
Killing Zhu Guomian was to establish prestige.
Letting Su Xiuxing go and killing Hu Shaomeng was to establish trust.
After this incident, no one in the Hu Mine would doubt Jiang Wang's words anymore.
The obedience of the miners and martial artists was needless to say, Zhang Hai had also repeatedly expressed his loyalty.
He arranged for the mine to resume operations, sorted out the relevant resources, contacted Chung Geng Sheng and asked him to send someone to take over …
His goal was to unify the Junggenjia's businesses in Yang Country and turn it into Chung Geng Sheng's base. The Hu Mine would be the foundation for him to do that.
After completing all the tasks, Jiang Wang returned to his room and had time to sort out his gains.
As for the compensation from the five small families, other than the rare techniques, Jiang Wang gave all the other resources to Chung Geng Sheng.
Including the Hu Family's assets and the Xi Family's compensation, Jiang Wang did not take a single cent.
Of course, how much Chung Geng Sheng took and how much he gave to his family was Chung Geng Sheng's own business.
His own gains included the celestial bluestone spirit, a celestial bluestone sheep, 450 dao yuan stones, a treasure light technique, and a treasure mirror that greatly enhanced illusions.
He planned to give half of the celestial bluestone sheep to Chung Geng Sheng because even though he took it back from someone else, it was still from the Junggenjia's mine.
The Azure Cloud Sheep could directly digest and absorb it. It could greatly increase the user's control over the wood elemental energy and enhance their wood elemental talent. Even if it was only half, it should not be underestimated.
It could be seen as an advanced effect of the Azure Dragon Chapter of the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique.
However, in order to avoid excessive imbalance of the five Qi, Jiang Wang planned to use it only after he had cultivated the White Tiger Chapter to perfection and the four spirits had converged.
The effect of the Treasure Light Mantra was that the caster had a certain chance of seeing the "treasure light". The strength of the treasure light reflected the value of the treasure.
Hu Shaomeng's mirror was called "Red Zhuang". After some research, Jiang Wang discovered that Hu Shaomeng had the ability to create illusions. This was also the reason why Hu Shaomeng was so elusive.
Although illusions didn't have any combat power, they were very valuable in terms of the degree to which they could pass off as reality.
Moreover, Hong Zhuang could hide in the mirror world.
However, once a person entered the mirror world, the mirror itself lost its protection. Before the sacrificial refining was completed, Jiang Wang did not plan to explore it personally.
After entering the Great Illusionary Land and communicating with Chung Geng Sheng, Jiang Wang pushed open the door and walked out.
As expected, Xiaoxiao was standing outside the door. It seemed that she had been there for a long time.
"Master, I dare not lie to you. It was my decision to feed Hu Shaomeng and that monster's flesh to the dogs. Miss Zhu only helped me cover it up. They are your enemies. I heard that if they are eaten by animals, they will never be reincarnated. I don't want them to have a chance to take revenge on you in their next life. "
She lowered her head and waited for the verdict.
Jiang Wang was not surprised.
Zhu Biqiong was a person who grew up in a greenhouse. It was difficult for her to have such cruel thoughts.
He did not expose her at that time because he wanted to give Xiaoxiao a chance. If she did not take it herself, this chance would be gone.
In this cruel world, the bottom line of a person was unprecedentedly low. Some people died for glory, and some people bent their knees for money.
What made Jiang Wang wary was not Xiaoxiao's bottom line, but her concealment.
"If there's a next time, don't call me master," Jiang Wang said and walked out.
"There won't be a next time." Xiaoxiao stood behind him and bit her lower lip.
…
Xi Zichu did not gain anything from the Hu Mine and returned to the city with his soldiers. He no longer had the mood to maintain his image.
He quietly entered the house like a cat.
The death of a Soaring Dragon Realm elder was not insignificant to the Xi Family, which only had four Soaring Dragon Realm experts.
However, compared to the Hu Family's outcome, it was not that hard to accept.
The City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded. The atmosphere was very tense.
The Junggenjia who had committed a crime seemed to ease the conflict even if they were compensated. However, as the weaker party, such a reaction was not surprising.
Xi Zichu thought as he walked to his father's study.
The soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop him and let him knock on the door.
"Come in." After a while, a voice came from the room.
Xi Zichu pushed the door open and entered. The first thing he saw was Advisor Liu sitting with his back facing him. His father, Xi Munan, was behind the desk with a gloomy expression.
Sitting around them were the commander and deputy commander of the City Guards, the lieutenant and deputy lieutenant in charge of public security, as well as the Xi Family elders … They all bowed when they saw Xi Zichu.
It seemed that they were discussing something important.
Xi Zichu himself was completely unaware of this.
He could not help but feel uneasy.
"Father, what's wrong?" He asked.
Xi Munan glanced at him and waved his hand. "Just do as I said and go do your work."
"This student will take his leave." Advisor Liu stood up first and saluted before leading the way out.
He was from the Confucian Sect and did not want to take up a position. In front of the City Lord, Xi Munan, he often referred to himself as a student to show respect.
As for Xi Zichu, he only nodded slightly as a greeting.
No matter what he thought, at least on the surface, Xi Zichu did not dare to be negligent. He returned the greeting seriously and saluted the others who filed out.
As the last person left, the door was closed.
Xi Zichu looked at his father's troubled expression and could not help but ask, "What happened, Father?"
Xi Munan avoided the topic. "Tell me about you."
"I lost, and I lost very cleanly. I got nothing from the mine. The treasure that Hu Shaomeng was scheming for was the spirit of the Heavenly Emerald Cloud Stone, which manifested as the Heavenly Emerald Cloud Sheep. It was obtained by Jiang Wang. "
Xi Zichu did not shirk the responsibility and directly admitted, "The family has suffered a great loss this time, the responsibility lies entirely with me."
Xi Munan looked at him quietly for a while, then looked at his only son.
He had two other sons in his early years, but one died young and the other was killed by an enemy.
As for this last son whom he had entrusted everything to, he did not spoil him too much. Instead, he was very strict with him.
This kind of 'discipline' did not involve words and deeds, but mainly focused on strategy, cultivation, combat, and the ways of the world.
In his opinion, being dissolute was not a bad thing. It was the right thing to let the Xi Family flourish.
Pride was not a problem, the problem was to have the ability to match that pride.
"Even I have to address the elder who died in the Hu Family's mine as my uncle." Xi Munan said, "He could have been enjoying his old age at home. He should have died of old age on a warm bed and not be killed in the cold mine. "
"He is the only Soaring Dragon Realm fighter that the Xi Family can deploy now. I asked him to help you, and he was very willing. Because you are a descendant of the Xi Family, the future of the Xi Family. Because he is your uncle! "
Xi Munan pressed his forehead. "But I didn't even see his corpse coming back."
