It's a pity that the incident came to light today and everything finally came to light.
At this moment, he regretted it endlessly, but it was too late.
In this situation, even if the head of the Xiang family doesn't kill him, he probably won't be able to survive.
"Family...Master, please give me a...pleasure, cough cough cough!"
Elder Ji's breath became weaker and weaker, and he was already dying.
"Hmph! The insidious villain deserves to die!"
The head of the Xiang family shouted angrily, and the spiritual power surged under his feet. With a roar, Elder Ji was shattered into pieces, and he died so hard that he could no longer die!
"It is not a pity that this person died, but the mastermind behind the scenes is still at large in secret. Without further ado, let's find him out as soon as possible!"
Jiang Tian frowned and sighed, and said in a deep voice.
The head of the Xiang family naturally did not hesitate, and in a flash, he took Jiang Tianchao to another courtyard in the mansion.
Although Jiang Tian could have withdrawn when things had reached this point, he felt that it would be inappropriate to stop hastily.
And he was also very curious, who was the person behind the scenes?
Being able to control a high-status guest like Elder Ji by hiding behind the scenes, this person's methods and mind are obviously quite impressive!
…
Boom!
Deep inside the Xiang family's mansion, there is a housekeeper's residence.
With a loud bang, the closed door was shaken by powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and two figures swept into the yard.
"Who is so bold?"
Angry exclamations suddenly rang out, and a plump, shirtless steward rushed out angrily, but when he saw the two people standing in front of him, his expression immediately changed!
"Master! What are you..."
The corners of the fat steward's eyes were twitching wildly, his face turned red instantly, and his eyes were filled with confusion and panic.
The head of the Xiang family frowned, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He had heard before that this fat steward had a romantic nature and had molested the maids in the house. Now that he met him, he was indeed well-deserved.
Just from his messy clothes and flushed face, it was not difficult to tell what he was doing in the room with the door closed in broad daylight.
Sure enough!
After a while, a slightly fat and pretty maid ran out of the room, trembling and kneeling in front of the Xiang family leader, with a look of panic on her face.
But the head of the Xiang family didn't even look at her. He completely understood all this and said coldly: "Where is your henchman? Let him get out!"
"Who..." The fat steward couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, but in a flash he remembered a deputy steward who had prospered under him in the past few years.
This person had never met him before, but he only started working for him after being introduced by Elder Meng Ji a few years ago.
Speaking of which, this person actually has some abilities!
Not only is he extremely shrewd, but his means and strength are also not weak. The key is that this person does not seem to have much ambition. He is usually very low-key and reserved. He is really a reliable person who can only be met but not found.
Since the time he took effect, he has done a lot of hard work for him, solved many problems that were difficult to solve before, quickly gained his trust, and quickly established a firm foothold in the Xiang family.
After several trials, he was finally convinced that this man was extremely loyal and would not pose any threat to his position at all.
In this way, he trusted the other party even more, and gradually handed over some of the family properties he was responsible for to the other party.
Originally he was not worried, but when he saw that those industries were managed smoothly by this person in a short period of time, he didn't even have to worry about it at all, and he felt really happy!
In this way, he could safely act as a hands-off shopkeeper and hand over all his affairs to that person, while he closed the door tightly and became a little "local emperor" in a corner of the Xiang family, living a arrogant life.
The days of luxury and lust.
"The head of the family is talking about...Song Xu?"
"That's right!" Head Xiang's eyes were cold and he shouted angrily in a deep voice.
"He...he is not in the mansion!" The fat steward's eyes twitched, and his heart began to beat involuntarily.
Although there are no problems with the property he is responsible for, his actions in the past few years have indeed failed to fulfill his management responsibilities. If the head of the Xiang family knew about it, I am afraid he would definitely not be able to do well.
Head Xiang's face darkened: "Don't think that I don't know the good things you have done in the past few years. Tell me quickly, where is he?"
The fat steward was so shaken that he knelt down with a plop. Big beads of sweat covered his forehead, and he was completely panicked.
In the past few years, he thought he had done things shrewdly and without leaving any trace, but he didn't expect that everything could not escape the eyes of the family master!
At this moment, he was completely in panic and felt extremely regretful.
"The villain doesn't know where he is currently. It's just that... several properties that the villain is responsible for have been handed over to him. If nothing goes wrong, he should be there..."
boom!
The head of the Xiang family yelled angrily, and before the other party could finish speaking, he released a powerful spiritual power that knocked the fat steward unconscious.
Immediately afterwards, his figure jumped into the air and flew wildly towards the outside of Xiang Mansion.
"Jiang Tian, follow me!"
"Um!"
Jiang Tian followed closely without hesitation.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at a busy street in the eastern area of Cangjing City.
Jiang Tian glanced around and saw people coming and going. It was so bustling, it was actually a very exciting commercial street in Cangjing!
Looking around, there are many shops on both sides of the street. Most of the things they sell are related to warriors, and there is no shortage of various cultivation resources.
However, it seems that these are bulk goods coming in and out, not mainly for ordinary individual travelers.
"I see!"
Jiang Tian nodded slowly, thoughtfully.
Different from Wantong Commercial Bank, this place is mainly for large and medium-sized merchants. It is a distribution center for cultivation resource transactions. Most of the goods coming in and out are large batches of goods. Naturally, ordinary individual tourists will not easily come here to trade.
And to leave such an important business in the hands of a shrewd, sinister and cunning person, the fat steward was quite unlucky.
After this incident, his status is not guaranteed. I am afraid that he will be punished by the Xiang family in the future, and the outcome will definitely be quite bad.
boom!
The head of the Xiang family swooped down in a sway and came to a trading house with a prosperous business.
"Lion Pavilion!"
Jiang Tian then fell down and nodded slowly while looking at the plaque above the door lintel.
This name has quite a domineering aura, but he knows that today's Lion Pavilion is destined to cause a storm.
"Where is Song Xu?"
The head of the Xiang family shouted angrily and fiercely.
"Who is yelling here?"
"Who are you? Do you know where this is?"
"Seeing as you are a person of some status, I guess you are not an unknown person. In that case, you should know whose property this is, right?"
Several warriors stood with arms folded at the door, looking at the Xiang family head coldly, with disdain on their faces.
