Guanshi Hu’s real name is Hu Laogen. When he was young, he was called Xiao Gen. When he is old, he is called Laogen.
He was indeed Hu Shaomeng's uncle, but he couldn't be called friendly.
Unlike the Hus and his son, who spoke Daqi Mandarin, he could never change his local accent. No wonder he never looked like an upper class person.
It is popular among the upper class of Yang State to speak Daqi Mandarin, and sometimes it becomes a status symbol.
He had very complicated feelings about Jiang Wang. At first, he felt that this monk was different from others and respected him, so he felt in his heart that he was a good person and would not harm him even if he was threatened by Ge Heng.
Later, Jiang Wang revealed his identity and allowed the mine to continue operating and still let him take charge. At this time, he felt grateful.
Now, Jiang Wang and Hu Shaomeng's father and son were almost at odds, and he was at a loss as to which side to take.
At this time, he stood silently aside, watching Jiang Wang and Su Xiuxing talking.
"Sir, what should we do with those people?" Su Xiuxing quickly got into the role. He was very sensible.
Naturally, he was asking about the leaders of those small families.
According to his idea, of course he would kill him. But Jiang Wang is the boss now, so Jiang Wang has to make the decision.
"Guanshi Hu, what do you think?" Jiang Wang asked.
Manager Hu was stunned for a moment and said respectfully: "Well, I don't have any ideas. It's up to you."
The reason why Manager Hu was asked to call A'an directly was because Jiang Wang was not proud of his status.
Now that one party is in control, rules and regulations must be established.
But Jiang Wang actually had no intention of letting him take sides.
There is no need for such an ordinary little old man to be involved in the disputes of the extraordinary world.
When Jiang Wang first recommended himself to the mine under the pseudonym Dugu An, it was in this room that Manager Hu recruited him.
The hole that had been repaired at that time was later repaired, but it is not easy to see now.
"Some holes have been patched up. No matter how carefully they are patched up, there are no traces left. It is not the same as before."
Jiang Wang sighed, stood up and said, "I'll handle it myself."
At the beginning, Hu's mine built six small courtyards for extraordinary monks, two of which were free of charge all year round to defraud the Chongxuan family of Daoyuan stones.
Now Su Xiuxing lives in one room, and the five people sent by Xi Zichu are imprisoned in the other room.
When they saw Jiang Wang walking in, they all showed fear.
After being sent here by Xi Zichu, they had foreseen their own ending. But everyone in the family, young and old, was in Xi Zichu's hands, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Under Su Xiuxing's interrogation, they could only tell the "truth" they believed in their hearts.
Buying a murderer to assassinate the Chongxuan family envoy and putting the blame on the Xi family is such a bold idea. However, because of Hui Mengxiang's influence, deep down in their hearts, it was indeed their decision.
Even ten lives are not enough to compensate.
Their only prayer now is that Xi Zichu can keep his promise and not kill their family members. Also, I hope Jiang Wang can act more swiftly and not torture them.
"I'm not interested in your lives." Jiang Wang said as soon as he entered the yard.
The five people kneeling on the ground looked up.
"I know that you paid for my assassination, that you wanted to put the blame on the Xi family, and that you wanted to cause conflict between the Chongxuan family and the Xi family. I know all this...but I plan to forgive you."
Jiang Wang smiled gently: "After all, you didn't cause any real harm to me, right?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"My lord, there are a lot of them!"
"You are so kind-hearted."
The five people were so happy that they didn't care about the pain on their bodies, and they all started to praise them. If it hadn't been for the tight binding, everyone would have come to kiss Jiang Wang's shoes.
Only Su Xiuxing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word forgiveness.
"But." Jiang Wang changed the topic: "How can I forgive you? Personally, it doesn't matter to me, but your behavior is already provoking the majesty of the Chongxuan family. If I just put you back like this, I'm afraid everyone else will I think the Chongxuan family is a Bodhisattva made of clay, without fire."
The five people looked at each other.
Su Xiuxing bit the bullet and said, "Your Excellency is really kind-hearted. If I were in their shoes, I would be willing to sacrifice my life for you!"
The heads of these five small families suddenly understood something. One of the smartest people responded: "Compensation! Compensation must be made! No matter what the compensation is, it will cost you everything!"
He shouted and started crying: "As long as you don't kill me or my whole family, I'll give you everything."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of crying.
They were all afraid. It is difficult for people who have never faced death to imagine that kind of fear.
"Stop, stop, stop." Jiang Wang had to interrupt them and said as gently as possible: "I won't even kill you, so how can I kill your whole family? There's no need to bankrupt everything. I'm not a greedy person."
"Let's do this. Three is an auspicious number. Thirty percent, I only want 30% of each of you's property to appease the Chongxuan family's anger. How about that?"
There is no need to hesitate here.
"Okay! It's absolutely okay!"
"Sir, there's no problem. It won't be less than a coin."
The five people nodded like garlic.
"As for me personally..." Jiang Wang said slowly: "Do you have that kind of unique secret technique? It doesn't need to be very strong, as long as it has unique and original ideas. I personally like to collect some unique secret techniques, they can make me My mood became very good.”
"Yes! I'll have someone bring it to you right away!"
"It doesn't exist in the family, but I know where it is. I will definitely get it for you within three days."
"..."
Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction.
I feel more skilled.
"Xiu Xing, let them all go. The money is broken into Daoyuan stones, and together with the secret skills, they can be delivered later." Jiang Wang smiled at these people: "I believe you."
"I will not let you down!"
"Good people are rewarded, sir."
Throwing all the flattery and determination behind him, he left all matters here to Su Xiuxing.
Having a subordinate who is convenient to you will not be used in vain.
Jiang Wang turned around and left here.
He doesn't expect these small families to have any tyrannical secret skills. It's just that those secret skills are rare and unique. If they are dedicated to the stage, they can produce more magic, which can be used to unblock them.
Of course, there is no need to state the purpose of not taking the initiative to help the Xi family eliminate competitors.
He believed that Xi Zichu could see clearly and understand his warning.
The rest is just a choice.
…
Return to the courtyard and call Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Wang did not shy away from Zhu Biqiong who was following him, and asked directly: "Do you have any relatives you can join?"
Xiaoxiao suddenly knelt on the ground and was about to cry: "Master, you...are you going to drive me away?"
Jiang Wang casually pulled her up and said warmly: "That's not the case. It's just that it may be very dangerous here. 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 drive me away..." Xiaoxiao sobbed.
It wasn't until she met Jiang Wang that she lived a slightly normal life.
Like a drowning person trying desperately to hold on to her life-saving straw, she must not let go.
"If she doesn't want to leave, just don't let her go." Zhu Biqiong couldn't bear to watch and said aloud.
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes at her: "If she doesn't leave, if there is any danger, will you stay to protect her?"
"I will protect her as long as I protect her." Zhu Biqiong retorted.
"Okay. It's a deal."
Zhu Biqiong: "..."
She suddenly felt like she had been fooled.
At this time, Jiang Wang said again: "Do you still want to exchange your mirage bead? I can exchange it with you for my Tied Tiger. But you have to promise me that it will never be spread to anyone else."
The Tied Tiger is certainly rare, but it is not an isolated copy. Used in exchange for mirage beads, it can instantly increase combat power. It is a deal that can be done.
"Of course!" Zhu Biqiong said crisply. He hurriedly took out the mirage bead and handed it to Jiang Wang: "Here!"
He was afraid that Jiang Wang would regret it.
For Zhu Biqiong, although mirage beads are also treasures, she can still find ways to get new ones at Diaohai Tower. Taoist skills of the level of Tiger Binding are rare opportunities. She has experienced it personally, and it is definitely a wonderful way to fight.
Jiang Wang handed the copy he had copied long ago to Zhu Biqiong, completing this win-win exchange.
With the cooperation of mirage beads, he was looking forward to what kind of power the Huahai Taoist technique would have.
