Killing a city lord was a big deal under normal circumstances. However, Xi Munan's situation was different.
The source of the plague had yet to be found, but Xi Munan was undoubtedly the main culprit behind the spread of the plague.
Whether it was for his family or for his own power.
After the outbreak of the plague, he was condemned by everyone in Yang Country, and killing him was the wish of the people.
Jiang Wang's killing was considered a righteous act in public opinion.
Moreover, Jia City only revealed the truth because of his hard work. His contributions didn't need to be mentioned. Everyone could see it for themselves.
Secondly, Junggenjia's 30 years of rule in Qingyang Town was recognized by Yang Court. Jiang Wang had inherited this kind of ruling power and was willing to risk his life for the people. This made sense.
Hence, a manager from the Four Seas Business Alliance dared to say that he was willing to mediate between them. He knew that Yang Court might not react.
In other words, if Yang Court really reacted to this matter, Manager Qian of the Four Seas Business Alliance's "circle" was obviously nothing.
Therefore, Jiang Wang only treated it as a joke.
Speaking of which, what would Yang Court's reaction be?
Jiang Wang didn't think so!
Firstly, the outbreak of the plague caused Yang Court to be unable to fend for themselves. They even handed over important matters like the allocation of resources to Qi's Four Seas Business Alliance. This exposed Yang Country's weakness as a vassal country. It was also the tragedy of a vassal country that didn't have a say in the world!
Secondly, it was because of the plague. In the whole of Yang Country, Jiang Wang was one of the first people to pay attention to the plague. He was also the first to reveal the truth, almost single-handedly revealing the truth. Although many people hated him, there were even more people who saw him as a hero. It was impossible for Yang Ting not to consider this point.
Thirdly, Yang Court's lack of control over the various cities had been exposed. The most important thing for Yang Court now was to use the plague as an excuse to strengthen their control over the various cities. Any knowledgeable ruler wouldn't overlook this.
And to control Jia City, what was the first thing Yang Court had to do? Get rid of the Xi family!
Coincidentally, the Xi family had concealed the plague and found a good accusation for themselves.
If Yang Court wanted to use this as an excuse to make things difficult for them, then their reason to hold Jiang Wang accountable would not be valid.
Therefore, Jiang Wang was not worried about this at all.
The reason why he didn't kill Xi Zichu was very simple: Today, in all of Jia City, there wasn't a second person who could mobilize more power and resources than Xi Zichu, and there wasn't a second person who could replace Xi Zichu in saving people.
Of course, he had the confidence that Xi Zichu would not surpass him. Therefore, even if there were suspicions of raising a tiger, in order to save more people, he could temporarily hold back his killing intent. Even if the other party really became a "tiger calamity", he was confident that he could kill them.
If Xi Zichu had displayed talent like Yin Guan and Wang Yiwu, he would not have made such a choice. Instead, he would have killed Xi Zichu the moment they became enemies. After all, only when one is alive can one be courteous and magnanimous, and only when one is prominent can one help the world.
There was another reason that had never been stated, but a smart person like Xi Zichu would understand once he calmed down. Especially after he found out that Rong had exposed the epidemic a day earlier.
In reality, after Jiang Wang saw Xi Zichu's efforts, he gave him a chance to "trade" — — to use all of the Xi family's power as the price for him to use this opportunity to transfer the kindling of his family's bloodline.
Once Yang Court took over Jia City, with the crimes that the Xi family had committed, there was a possibility that they would be wiped out!
Seeing Manager Qian of the Four Seas Business Alliance leave with a bag full of Dao Origin Stones and the arrogant bald head of the guard commander, Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth in hatred, but she wouldn't question Jiang Wang's decision.
However, Zhang Hai couldn't help but say, "200 Dao Origin Stones, are we really going to give it to them just like that?"
How many pills could they make with that!
In his heart, he was actually blaming Fang Qian. Even though it had been hard on them, Jiang Wang wasn't stingy with them and didn't give them any less resources.
200 Dao Origin Stones wasn't a small amount. Even though these Dao Origin Stones came from Jiang Wang's own pocket, didn't Jiang Wang's Dao Origin Stones belong to this small group?
"This is the value of the Four Seas Business Alliance's name!"
Jiang Wang said, "But if they continue to abuse it like this, it won't be worth this much!"
Xiao Xiao was deep in thought.
Looking at the people in the town hall, Jiang Wang continued, "I hope that one day, our signboard will be known as a famous name. A name can make people give in and admit defeat. When that time comes, please cherish it. "
What he didn't say was that even though these 200 Dao Origin Stones were to destroy the Four Seas Business Alliance as quickly as possible, a part of it was also because of Fang Qian.
From the beginning to the end, Xiang Qian, who looked like a destitute uncle, didn't say anything.
His dead fish eyes were drooping, as if he didn't care about anything.
Only when Jiang Wang finished speaking did he nod slightly to show that he was listening.
…
"Sir Warden, that Jiang guy is so rich, why didn't you ask for more?"
On the way out of Qingyang Town Hall, the guard leader couldn't help but ask, "Does he dare to fall out with the Four Seas Business Alliance?"
"Idiot!" Warden Qian scolded, "How much can a mere Jiang Wang be squeezed out of him? The Business Alliance's disaster relief business in the entire Yang Country is where the real profit lies. I won't shortchange you for the extra 1,000 Dao Origin Stones, and you're not allowed to embezzle from the warehouse. If you dare to mess things up, I'll kill you with my own hands! "
"Yes!" The bald guard leader was unwilling, but he could only nod in agreement.
He wasn't stupid, of course, he knew where the real big fish was. Plundering the entire Yang Country's profits was not something that could be compared to exploiting a small lord like Jiang Wang. But no matter how much the Four Seas Business Alliance earned, what did it have to do with him? What was in his hands was his.
He knew that Warden Qian was stingy, but he didn't expect him to be so stingy. He took 200 Dao Origin Stones, but only gave him 1,000 Dao Origin Stones!
But the situation was more powerful than the person, and the higher the rank, the higher the rank.
There were hundreds of wardens in the Four Seas Business Alliance, and Warden Qian wasn't much among them, but it was easy for him to deal with a guard leader like him.
After this incident, he finally understood that the young cultivator called Jiang Wang was truly a ruthless person compared to the one who had shaved him bald after kicking the door open and snatching the eggs.
Throwing out 200 Dao Origin Stones at once, he cleanly shut Warden Qian up. This was an expression of attitude.
After staying in the Business Alliance for so many years, he understood one thing: the more extravagant a person was, the more cautious they were.
People who were willing to spend money would be more willing to take your life than anyone else.
Not to mention that he had personally killed the lord of Jia City!
Since he couldn't persuade Warden Qian to do anything, the bald guard leader decided to behave himself in the future.
Anyways, with the 1,000 Dao Origin Stones from Warden Qian, plus the 1,000 Dao Origin Stones that had been "plundered", the profits were not small.
When he sold it, it would be more than 1,000 Dao Origin Stones in the current market.
It was a pity that he couldn't get Dao Origin Stones, so he would have to buy something else.
He was calculating in his heart.
The Business Alliance warehouse in Qingyang Town would operate normally in the future. Anyways, it would be as stingy as before. It would be hard to get 1,000 Dao Origin Stones.
… …
"Why else would I say that the Four Seas Business Alliance is full of smart people!"
In the Great Illusionary Realm, Chung Geng Sheng's eyes narrowed so much that they were almost invisible: "Wardens have their own intelligence, guards have their own intelligence."
"Or else why would they, as the oldest business alliance in Qi, become weaker than the Jubao Merchants after so many years of development!"
Jiang Wang looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"
"What do you mean what do I want to do?"
"When you narrow your eyes, you want to kill someone!"
"Oh?" Chung Geng Sheng touched his wrinkled chin: "I have to be more careful in the future."
"As for what … …" He looked at Jiang Wang and smiled: "Military orders are like mountains, I can't say!"
