Chapter 82 'Story'

landing only on the handsome young man in the crowd whose eyes seemed to be bloodshot.He said nothing, made no move, but simply stood there, and yet was somehow the center of the crowd.>"It's been fi...Just outside the mine entrance, a circle of resting miners gathered, all crowding here to watch the commotion.

This should be followed by a period.

Only then did he make way when Jiang Wang arrived with his people.

This was the third time Jiang Wang had met Xi Zichu. This time, there were fewer girls around him.

Even the most unrestrained person wouldn't bring birds to a mining area. It's not a place for sightseeing or leisure.

But noticing the young servant in a blue hat behind him, who lacked a Adam's apple, Jiang Wang realized he was still rather naive.

Did this guy learn the art of replenishing vital energy at Dongwang Valley

Regardless of how Jiang Wang tried to sort out the mess in her mind, Xi Zi Chu came forward and said, "Last time I told you specifically that I'm not stupid."

Please note that the original content was empty within the tags. Therefore, the translation is also empty.

He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect others to think that way."

Jiang Wang looked at the five people kneeling before him. Each of them was dressed in fine clothes and seemed to be from a wealthy background. At this moment, their hands were bound behind their backs, and they knelt silently on the ground, their faces ashen.

Who are these

"The five families in Jiacheng have been somewhat discontent with our Xi family's rule over the city. They even colluded with one of our stewards, secretly participating and draining this vein mine. They intended to create conflict between the Chongxuan family and my Lian family, using the Chongxuan family as a weapon to eliminate members of my Lian family. After you came representing the Chongxuan family, they bribed assassins to attack you, hoping to further escalate the situation. Fortunately, Brother Jiang, your strength saved you."

Xi Zi Chu spoke slowly, “The cultivator who stole the ore vein from the Hu family mine earlier came in through my Xi family’s traitor. Although with Brother Jiang's intelligence, you would eventually uncover this lead. But since I've returned to Jia City once, as the host, I can't always let the far-traveling guests work so hard. The heads of these five families are all here. Brother Jiang, you can first verify it yourself, or directly handle it, whatever you prefer.”

“Mr. Xi, you are too kind. To speak of hospitality, I should be the one showing it, after all, this is the territory of the Chongxuan family. Here, Mr. Xi is the guest who has traveled far and wide.” Jiang Wang replied neither soft nor hard: “Please, let’s find a place to sit and talk.”

"No need for that. I've been here many times when I was a child, I'm quite familiar with it."

Xi Zi Chu immediately placed himself in the master's position upon arrival. When Jiang Wang emphasized his sovereignty, Xi Zi Chu began to emphasize history.

From their previous interactions, Jiang Wang understood that this was someone accustomed to taking the initiative. At this moment, he didn't find it strange at all.

He just asked, "So, who from the Xi family is in charge of this"

"I've taken care of it." Xi Zi Chu said lightly, "Since he is from the Xi family, there's no need to trouble Master Xuan."

He had gone to such lengths to bind people to the mine, all to avoid any conflict with the Chongxuan family. Yet, when it came to his own sovereignty, he held firm to a strict boundary.

Jiang Wang remained noncommittal: "Though he is from the Xi family, the matter involves the Chongxuan family."

"Although the losses suffered by Heavy Xuan were purely caused by the conspiracy of these people, and have nothing to do with my Xi family, at most we only bear the responsibility of negligence. However, in order to show our sincerity, my Xi family is willing to compensate Heavy Xuan for one-tenth of their losses."

This number is very generous, showing sincere intentions.

Such an industry as mining veins is a long-term endeavor, requiring time to develop. For instance, this turquoise vein was initially estimated to take several decades to fully mine.

With this settlement from the Xi family, Chongxuan can now obtain a large amount of resources. No one could find fault with this.

This resource might not mean much to Chong Xuan himself, but it's quite significant for Chong Xuan Sheng. Chong Xuan Sheng is expanding rapidly right now and desperately needs all kinds of resources, like someone starving.

Jiang Wang nodded. "That's good. I've kept the people. If Young Master Xi has nothing else to do, please leave."

Xi Zi Chu looked deeply at Jiang Wang: "As for right and wrong, I believe Brother Jiang will have a precise judgment."

After saying this, he strode away.

Upon arriving, he was escorted by the heads of five families, driven like cattle. Upon leaving, he only took that young attendant wearing a blue cap, his steps light and carefree, as if strolling on spring grass.

Of course, Dong Wanggu wasn't simple to be able to maintain independence around the state of Qi.

From this seat alone, one can tell the difference. This fellow is not on the same level as that Ge Heng from the so-called Aoki Immortal Gate.

At this time, Su Xiuxing, Zhang Hai, and Xiang Qian were all present. Among the extraordinary cultivators at Hu's mine, only Zhu Biqiong was still in the courtyard and was not allowed to come out.

Jiang Wang looked towards the front and said, “You check these five people, see if they match what Xi Zichu said.”

Since Xi Zi Chu had brought everyone here, it meant the matter was undoubtedly true. He wasn't afraid of the investigation at all.

But this process cannot be omitted.

By the way, also give him something to do and guide him a little.

He was short-staffed, so even a demoralized and listless wastrel like this could only be given a tryout.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

There was no reason to refuse one's superior, so he trudged forward with lifeless eyes, dragging himself to the first person on his left.

"Is what Xi Zi Chu said true"

The head of the little family was also taken aback. He had already prepared to be severely tortured, but he didn't expect the other party to ask so casually.

"...Yes."

"So he moved to the second person and asked, "Is what Xi Zi Chu said true"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Then comes the third...

Jiang Wang remained silent, waiting for him to finish speaking.

After asking five people, Xiang Qian probably felt that he had been too superficial, so he asked again: "Aren't you kidding me"

After receiving an affirmative reply, he seemed to gain some confidence.

He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "Xi Zi Chu is telling the truth."

Su Xiuheng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. To be so blatantly dismissive in his face, was this Yuyang realm elder truly hopeless, or what After experiencing the "Heaven-Punishing Earth-Annihilating Human-Slaying Pill," Jiang Wang's level of terror in his heart had reached its peak.

Although he didn't have much sympathy, he couldn't help but silently mourn for this strange old man.

Zhang Haitao remained silent, but his flickering eyes betrayed his nervousness.

Everyone present was waiting for Jiang Wang's attitude.

This is power, status.

There are both the efforts of the support from those with power, and Jiang Wang's own endeavors.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

In the extraordinary world, power equals right, and right equals power.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wang didn't say anything about going forward.

Looking at those innocent, dead fish eyes staring forward, he just sighed: "You shouldn't be called Xiangqian, you should be called Xiang."

“He sighed again, a long one this time: ‘It’s tiring to go forward, too. I should have called it ‘backward’ in the beginning. Lying down is the easiest. Fall where you may, sleep there.’”

“Okay, okay, you go back to sleep.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang was too lazy to face him and sighed, her breath longer than anyone else's.

Instead, he instructed Su Xiuhang: "Leave this to you. You should be good at this kind of work. Give me a complete report when you're done."

This person simply doesn't want to do anything for him, and it's not even directed at him. It's just a pure unwillingness to work. Jiang Wang wouldn't get angry over this; at most, he would quit at the end of the month.

As an assassin, Su Xiu's methods were naturally not lacking.

In the end, he turned in very detailed materials, which indeed verified what Xi Zi Chu had said.

The Xi family of Jacheng City reigns supreme, leaving no room for other families to survive.

These small clans had long harbored resentment, but dared not speak out. The arrival of the Chongxuan family and their claim to a mining vein in this area gave them an opportunity.

These families united, starting with the mines, to frame the Xi family.

Throughout the entire event, Hu Shaomeng probably only played a role of going with the flow. After all, the Hu family can also be considered one of the small families in Jiacheng City, and they also live under the pressure of the Xi family. They are very happy to see something happen to the Xi family.

And when Xi Zi Chu returned to the city, he immediately sensed something was amiss. Afterward, he swiftly retaliated with thunderous force, killing the family traitors on the spot. He even directly captured all the heads of these families and handed them over to Jiang Wang, who represented the Chongxuan family, for dealing with.

This plot is very reasonable, no matter how you look at it.

Compared to the simple plot of Hu Shao-Meng framing the Xi family, this one is much more logical.

Moreover, the evidence is conclusive.

Such a story, presented before you, should logically be unquestionable.

But that is Jiang Wang's biggest question.

Only "stories" can be so reasonable and captivating.

Real life is never perfect.
