Chapter 74: Seeing a Sheep is an Ill Omen

e who is embarrassed is someone else.He's completely oblivious to the awkwardness of the situation, never letting go of Jiang Wang's arm. This time he pulls Jiang Wang in front of him, but instead of...After sending off Hu Shaomeng, Jiang Wang gathered everyone again and announced that the mine would be delayed for half a year, until the ore vein was completely exhausted.

As an emissary of the heavy Xuanjia, he essentially became the leader of these people.

Besides Hu Guan's obvious delight, the other two transcendent cultivators remained quite indifferent.

Zhang Hai was clearly uneasy, probably considering his pills and Jiang Wang's prestige, he didn't dare to suggest leaving for the time being. Xiang Qian remained as lifeless as ever.

Here's the translation:

To be honest, I don't want either of these two. But my hands are tied, so I can only grit my teeth and make do for now.

As Chong Xuan Sheng said, everyone has their own use and value.

Even more valuable extraordinary cultivators wouldn't come to work in this kind of mine.

Two extraordinary cultivators left one after the other, leaving only Hu Guan and maid XiaoXiao in the room.

Jiang Wangzheng was about to instruct Hu Guan, when the maid XiaoXiao suddenly spoke up, "Master, there's something you may not remember. There's a problem with that jar of tiger bone wine in your room."

Jiang Wang glanced at her: "Was that note written by you"

Xiao Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head: "Yes. I... learned some characters when I was young."

"How did you know there was something wrong with the wine" Jiang Wang asked.

“I only know Ge Heng’s temper. If you offend him, he will surely do you harm.”

At that moment, Hu Guan (Manager) knelt down with a thud: "Messenger sir, there is no poison in the wine, no poison at all! The poisoned wine was switched out!"

It did clear up a point of confusion, although the answer itself is not really valuable anymore.

"You don't need to kneel." Jiang Wang reached out and helped him up. "What exactly happened Tell me about it."

“Master Ge, no, that scoundrel who claims the surname Ge has a small mind. He wants to teach you a lesson, so he poisoned the wine and forced me to send you this. I dare not refuse, nor dare I speak out!”

Old Hu wiped his sweat continuously, looking anxious and scared: "I can only secretly change the amount. If he asks, just say you probably didn't drink much."

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

He said and was about to kneel again.

Jiang Wang waved his hand, preventing him from kneeling. "You replaced the poisoned wine, so what crime have you committed I should be thanking you for your care."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Seeing the old man's meek and timid demeanor, Jiang Wang sighed inwardly.

He didn't expect Hu Guan to be able to view him calmly after learning his identity; that was unrealistic after all.

“Don't overthink it. The mine, you still handle it. Do as you did before, maintain the status quo.” He ordered directly: “I only control the direction, I'm not responsible for specific matters, understand”

Hu Guan shi felt more confident in his heart and steadied his footing: "Understood, understood."

“By the way,” Jiang Wang thought of something: “Are you really Hu Shao Meng’s uncle from his biological family”

“That’s not false.” Hu Guan sighed, a little embarrassed. “But he's always been distant from everyone since he was young. It's not easy to establish connections, and I'm afraid the older cultivators will look down on...”

Understood.

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

Jiang Wang smiled understandingly and walked away with Xiao Xiao.

This old man is quite interesting. Though he's forced to humble himself for a living, deep down he's someone who values his self-respect and dignity.

Never underestimate anyone with independent thinking. Jiang Wang reminded himself of this.

For example, that poisoned wine. If Xiao Xiao hadn't warned us and Hu Guan Shi hadn't switched out the poison, things could have had a very different outcome.

Walking in the mine, Jiang Wang casually asked, "Do you hate him"

>

"I can't hide it, I must tell you the truth: he was the one who hired me."

Jiang Wang didn't really mind this level of borrowing power; it was natural to seek revenge. It just made him realize more clearly that everyone had their own demands, even if her current status was just a lowly maidservant.

“Xie Hao wasn’t leaving, he was killed by Hu Shaomeng.” Jiang Wang turned and said, “Maybe, all those things he told you, were true.”

Little followed behind, walking silently. After a long silence, she said: "It's strange, I once wished he was dead, the worse the better. But when he truly died, I realized... I would rather he had been lying to me, I would rather he was just a despicable, heartless person. As long as he was still alive."

She didn't appear to be very sad, just a little lost: "Grandfather, you are an extraordinary person. You tell me, why do people behave this way"

“That’s just how people are,” Jiang Wang said.

Gè Hěng is dead.

He was beaten to death by angry miners.

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

No one remembered who had landed the first blow. After a long bout of punches and kicks, Ge Heng lay motionless on the ground.

The crowd dispersed.

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

Xiao Cui's body was buried by people.

The miners were skilled at digging pits and chose a beautiful location.

And Ge Heng's body lay alone in the yard.

Someone suggested throwing him into the furnace, but no one was willing to carry his body, so it was dropped.

Ge Heng's death was not difficult to arrange. Firstly, his crimes were clear-cut. Secondly, he died at the hands of righteous anger from the people. Thirdly, this area belonged to Qingyang Town, and the case would stop with Hu You, the town magistrate.

Once he reports to Jiaceng, the Jiaceng side generally wouldn't make things difficult.

At this time, everyone had already dispersed, leaving only Zhuanzi standing alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.

Jiang Wang walked over and casually threw a bundle of fireworks, burning Ge Heng's body to ashes.

After leaving Ge Heng behind, he had already anticipated this scene and so there was nothing to be surprised about. Burning the body casually was merely to prevent any potential outbreaks of plague or similar ailments.

"By the way," he said to Zhuanzi, "What did you see on the day Hu Shaomeng killed Xie Hao Tell me everything you know, don't be afraid. I promise your safety."

The sea of flowers is not a specialized interrogation technique. Jiang Wang had only used the hallucinogenic effect to guide slightly before.

Since authority has already been established, it might as well be straightforward. I think even Chuanzi won't dare to hide anything anymore.

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

When asking this question, Jiang Wang mainly wanted to understand Hu Shaomeng's fighting style in advance so that he could have a targeted response.

"I didn't see Hu Shaomeng kill Xie Hao," Quanzi blurted out, surprised.

It was only then that Jiang Wang realized he might have been wrong.

"Then who did you see him kill"

Jiang Wang asked with some urgency, and Chuanzi nervously swallowed his saliva and stammered, "One, just one miner. Just that slap, and his head was gone. I was squatting there at the time, didn't dare to make a sound."

“Isn’t that the miner who saw a sheep in the mine” Jiang Wang asked.

“I don't know, there are a lot of people on the mine. People often come and go. I don't know him.”

Although Zhuan could not be certain, Jiang Wang's heart was already absolutely sure.

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

Because these two things are too coincidental.

Even though Hu Shaomen is a disciple of a prominent sect, he wouldn't blatantly kill people everywhere. There must be a reason for any murder.

It's just...

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

A worker in the mine surprisingly saw a sheep.

While Hu Shaomeng killed him.

What does this tell us

Sheep, sheep.

Jiang Wang vaguely grasped something.

Qingyang Town!

"Xiao Xiao, you go back first. I'll go take a look in the mine,"

Jiang Wang hurriedly threw down a sentence and turned to walk towards the mine.

As for him, naturally no one would stop him.

Those miners were curious why he would go into the mine himself, but they didn't dare to ask.

>

After years of mining, the mine shafts have become a complex network, having almost hollowed out the mountain.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, and it only got darker as you went deeper.

Although Chong Xuan's family was wealthy and generous, they wouldn't equip the miners with headlamps.

In the mine, oil lamps are primarily used for lighting.

Of course, for Jiang Wang, a single fireflower was enough.

The deeper I walked, the quieter it became. Each step echoed hollowly on the ground.

>

Jiang Wang didn't know what he was looking for, he just acted like he was.

He knew that this news would inevitably reach Hu Shao Meng's ears.

He was waiting for any possible clues.

Or, Hu Shaomen's reaction.
