Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 17: Cartilage

On the south slope of Jinsha Valley, there stands a two-story house. Although it is newly built and still has many imperfections, the materials and workmanship are of high quality and it is indeed quite good. This is also the only house in Jinsha Valley at this time, and the rest are mostly single-room wooden tile houses.

Of course, most of them are shacks, and the wooden tile houses are only for people of certain status to live in.

"Boss, the Golden Sands Valley is just being built, so we have quite a short time. I'm afraid I'll have to put you in a difficult position for a while."

Qian Wen followed Jiang Chen, nodding and bowing, and was extremely fawning, just like a pug.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen stood in front of the courtyard gate, looked back and down, taking in the entire Jinsha Valley, with an extremely broad vision.

"The location of this house is well chosen."

After giving a compliment and looking away, Jiang Chen took the lead and walked into the house.

Hearing this, Qian Wen immediately burst into laughter, but Shouhou and Xiong Li, who were standing by, couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts when they saw this scene. This man was so soft-hearted that he didn't have any backbone at all.

Among them, Skinny Monkey was okay, but Xiong Li was a straightforward person and expressed it directly. However, Qian Wen seemed to be completely unaware of this.

"Shi Tou, from now on, all the chores in the house will be left to you. You can pick a few smart people to help you."

"Skinny Monkey, set up a post at the foot of the south slope. Do not disturb me while I am practicing unless it is something important."

"Xiong Li, from today on, you will take over the security team."

Sitting in the main seat, without any hesitation, Jiang Chen began to give orders, and continuously inserted the people he brought with him into various matters in Jinsha Valley, and began to truly occupy the power in Jinsha Valley.

Hearing these words, everyone who came with Jiang Chen showed joy on their faces, but Qian Wen remained calm.

Jiang Chen's move to seize power did not surprise him. At this moment, he was not angry, but rather felt a little secretly happy, because Jiang Chen was indeed the same as the information he had collected before, a martial arts fanatic who was devoted to practicing.

And at this moment, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to him.

"Manager Qian, although this gold sand field is newly built, it has been mined for some time. When you return, please send the relevant account books to me. I need to take a look."

Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice, with an expression of unquestionable determination on his face.

"Yes, Big Boss."

When their eyes met, Qian Wen quickly bowed in response.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen nodded, and after a moment, this short and efficient meeting ended quietly.

"Boss, is Qian Wen really willing to hand over the account books? Do you want me to keep an eye on him to prevent him from tampering with them?"

Seeing Qian Wen and his group walking away, Shouhou turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head.

"No, there won't be any problem with this account book. Don't forget who Qian Wen is. Making a set of false accounts is not a problem for him. Otherwise, why do you think Zhao Meng put him in his current position? Is it just because of his sister who is a concubine?"

"I just want the account book so that our people can learn from it and put his mind at ease."

With a light laugh, Jiang Chen took a sip of his tea. Seeing this, the skinny monkey seemed to have realized something and quietly retreated. He began to arrange for the establishment of a post, completely transforming the entire south slope into Jiang Chen's private territory.

On the other side, after walking down the south slope, standing in the valley, looking back at the house on the south slope, Qian Wen's heart was bleeding.

He started to build this house after he came to Jinsha Valley. Every blade of grass and even every decoration in it were selected by him personally, which took a lot of his effort, because according to the original plan, the third in command, Zhao Meng, would take on the task of guarding Jinsha Valley.

But he will not live in Jinsha Valley permanently. As a confidant, he will become the actual person in charge of Jinsha Valley. He built this house for himself and had to put in a lot of effort. He never thought that today he would be making wedding dresses for others. You know, he has not lived in this house for a single day. This feeling is really hard to describe to outsiders.

"Never mind, never mind, it's just a house."

Holding his aching heart, Qian Wen walked towards his temporary residence. He would probably have to live here for a long time.

It was from this day that the situation in Jinsha Valley began to subtly change. Some people were silently expecting something, while others were secretly afraid. However, for seven consecutive days, Jiang Chen did not walk down the south slope. This made the originally restless atmosphere in Jinsha Valley suddenly calm down, and made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this person really not going to interfere in the affairs of the Sands Valley? No, he shouldn't."

"This golden sand is dazzling, no one can ignore it. And although this person comes from the same mountain as the Third In command, if he really wants to become the Fourth In command, he must separate himself from the Third In command."

"Although I have never met the big boss, I believe he probably doesn't want his two bosses to get along and make money together. Otherwise, the one who came here should be the third boss, not this big boss..."

In a corner of the valley, a middle-aged man was looking at the south slope with a changeable expression on his face. He was dressed in cloth and had a neat face, which made him different from most people in Jinsha Valley.

At this moment, a tall figure greeted him from a distance.

"Old Wang, what are you doing? The chief steward wants to discuss matters."

The rough voice echoed in his ears, and Wang Yuan immediately collected his thoughts.

"coming."

Turning around, Wang Yuan's originally gloomy face suddenly showed a warm smile.

He was a manager under Qian Wen, and to some extent, he was also Qian Wen's confidant. When Qian Wen committed a crime in Qinghe County, it was he who risked his life to tip off Qian Wen, giving him a chance to survive. The two could be said to be true friends for life and death.

Later, when Qian Wen joined Zhao Meng and became powerful, he was pulled over as well and became a small manager in Jinsha Valley, in charge of the kitchen, which made him quite a bit of money.

"Wait a little longer. It would be best to find a way to contact that big boss Jiang. But he stays on the south slope all day. I don't know what he is busy with, and I don't have the chance to go up there at all."

While having a cordial conversation with the burly man, Wang Yuan was thinking about his own plan. He originally wanted to secretly guide Jiang Chen step by step to discover the truth that Qian Wen swallowed up the gold sand of Jinsha Valley, and then use Jiang Chen's hand to get rid of Qian Wen to wash away the deep hatred in his heart, but Jiang Chen's performance was completely beyond his expectations.

You know, when he first learned that the Dangjiang bandits were going to parachute a big leader to take charge of Jinsha Valley, he was extremely happy and thought that the opportunity had come. But now it seems that there are still twists and turns.

Jiang Chen ignored all of this. Of course, ignoring it didn't mean he knew nothing.

He stood on the south slope like a bystander, taking in all the changes happening in the Jinsha Valley. However, he did not intend to pay attention to it for the time being. After all, his own interests were not completely consistent with those of the Dangjiang bandits.

After experiencing the baptism of doomsday, he knew clearly that everyone was useful. If not, it only meant that he did not choose the right method. Similarly, parasites like Qian Wen were also useful, so he was not in a hurry to take action.
