Jiang Yi, who had just obtained a new ability, was very excited. He tried to observe everyone's souls in the Jiang family's mansion, wanting to know if there was a Man-Demon in the Jiang family's mansion.
However, Jiang Yi observed around and discovered that everyone's souls in the Jiang Family's mansion were all white, and their appearances were exactly the same as his.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to go out to observe, the old butler, Yi Tian, found him panting.
"Young Master, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time.”Yi Tian said with a hint of fatigue on his face.
"Uncle Tian, what happened?”Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Yi Tian swallowed his saliva and let out a long breath. He continued,"Young Master, the person that Old Yang sent out to scout for information has returned. He's waiting for you in the study now!”
"Got it. I'll go over now.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi hurriedly walked towards the study. Although he knew that One-eye was already dead, he was still eager to know what the situation was so that he could make arrangements according to the situation.
If the bandits on the mountain still had designs on the Jiang family after One-eye's death, he would be better prepared to resist the bandits 'invasion.
Jiang Yi quickly arrived inside the study and saw a strong young man already waiting for him inside.
"Young Master, you're here!"
When the young man saw Jiang Yi coming over, he immediately stood up and greeted him.
This young man could be considered to have grown up in the Jiang family. He was Jiang Yi's errand boy when he was young. His name was Jiang Shan.
Jiang Yi nodded and impatiently said,"Ah Shan, how's the situation over there?”
"Young Master, I stayed at the foot of Eagle Beak Mountain for two days. I originally thought that I could sneak into the One-eyed Mountain Stronghold and leave, but I didn't have the chance until last night when a few people came down from the mountain. I heard their conversation and found out that they were bandits on the mountain, so I followed them to a tea shed and eavesdropped on their conversation.”
"Oh, what happened on Eagle Beak Mountain?”
Jiang Yi was somewhat curious. From Jiang Shan's tone, it seemed like many things had happened on Eagle Beak Mountain.
"Young Master, that One-eye is really dead, but I heard that he was poisoned to death by the Third Head.”Jiang Shan seemed to be a little thirsty. He swallowed his saliva and continued,"Also, on the night that One-eye died, their Second Leader personally killed the Third Leader and then had a fight with the Third Leader's subordinates. Many people died, about dozens of them!”
"What else?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Not only did the Second Leader eliminate the Third Leader, he also eliminated a group of One-eye's trusted aides and killed One-eye's wife and child. Many people on the mountain felt that he was too cruel, so many people sneaked away. The few people I followed yesterday ran down the mountain.”Jiang Shan replied.
"Is there any news about the Jiang family? For example, do they plan to attack the Jiang family?”Jiang Yi continued to ask.
"I heard that the new second-in-charge originally planned to continue to attack the Jiang family, but he felt that he had suffered heavy losses and was unable to resist the Jiang family at all, so he decided to let the matter rest.”Jiang Shan replied.
Hearing Jiang Shan's words, Jiang Yi fell into deep thought.
"It seems that this so-called second-in-charge doesn't know that most of the guards of the Jiang family have run away. Otherwise, he would definitely pounce on us.”
When the Jiang family's guards were fully formed, there were 25 people and 25 Hanyang weapons. Although this amount of firepower was not considered much in Fukang County, it was considered a very powerful armed force in Chongwen Town. At least, all of them were made of Hanyang weapons, not some big swords or red tasseled spears.
In the past, there were more than 100 bandits in Eagle Beak Mountain, and 60% of them used firearms. At least 60 of them were made in Hanyang, so they were naturally not afraid of the Jiang family. However, after two riots, according to Jiang Shan, Jiang Yi estimated that there might only be 20 to 30 people left on the mountain. Under such circumstances, as long as the second-in-command was not stupid, he would not disturb the Jiang family.
In the study, Jiang Yi quietly pondered over his next plan.
With the death of One-eye, the crisis of the Jiang family was temporarily resolved, but it was far from over. This newly promoted second-in-charge obviously had some intentions towards the Jiang family, but he did not make a move because of his great loss of strength and the fact that the Jiang family still had a guardian team on paper. However, once he saw the truth, he would immediately bare his fangs.
For this kind of vicious dog that would endure and not bark, it would really bite. Therefore, after setting up the security team, the first thing Jiang Yi had to do was to directly press the bandits on Eagle Beak Mountain to death.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi raised his head and said to Jiang Shan,"Ah Shan, I have something for you to do.”
"Young Master, tell me, what is it?”Jiang Shan replied.
"From now on, go and recruit people. Don't be afraid of spending money. Tell the original guards of the Jiang family that as long as they are willing to come back, I will give them twice their monthly salary and ten yuan as a settlement allowance.”
Jiang Yi planned to first gather all the guards and let himself have the most basic martial strength to ensure that the second-in-charge would not see through the truth, although Jiang Yi also did not like these people who ran away at the last minute.
But now, they did not have enough manpower. At least the guards of the Jiang family who had escaped still knew how to use guns. It was enough to scare people. Anyway, Jiang Yi's primary goal was to scare the second head first.
"Understood, Young Master!" Jiang Shan nodded his head heavily and turned around to handle the matter that Jiang Yi had entrusted him with.
At this moment, Jiang Yi also came out of the study. He still had something to look for the old butler, Yi Tian, to deal with.
When Jiang Yi found Yi Tian, he was cleaning. It turned out that this was not his job, but now that there was not enough manpower, he could only take on the role.
"Uncle Tian, take a rest first. I have something to ask of you!”Jiang Yi shouted.
"Young Master, just tell me what you need me to do.”
Seeing Jiang Yi, Yi Tian hurriedly stopped waving the broom in his hand.
"Uncle Tian, I want you to go to the town and hire someone to go to the quarry outside the city and bring all the stones that have just been mined to the Jiang family.”
"And Uncle Tian, don't be afraid to spend money when recruiting people. Although One-eye is dead, the people in the town don't know. At this time, they dare to help the Jiang family.”
The Jiang family had a small quarry outside the city. Many people used to work part-time there. However, due to the influence of One Ear, many people did not dare to go there. They were afraid that they would be implicated by the Jiang family and be punished by One Eye.
Jiang Yi naturally had a great use for these stones. When he found a suitable channel to buy weapons, Jiang Yi would need a large amount of money, and these stones and his gold touch hand were his strongest backing.
"Got it, Young Master. I'll do it immediately.”Yi Tian's tone was calm.
He had no doubt about the Maoshan Technique. He knew that One-eye was dead for sure the day Immortal Qian cast the technique. Therefore, when he heard Jiang Yi say that One-eye was dead, he was not very excited.
As for why Yi Tian believed in the Maoshan Art so much, it involved a secret in his heart. It turned out that he had once acknowledged a Taoist priest called Lei Zhen as his master. However, due to his poor aptitude, he had no progress in cultivation. Many years had passed and he had not even reached the Qi Transformation Realm. That was why he bid farewell to his master and came to Chongwen Town. The place where he used to cultivate was called Gantian Town. He also had two junior brothers, one called Lei Gang and the other called Mao Xiaofang.
