Chunxi took a breath, pulled her to the corner and whispered: "When I went out before, I found that the temple was full of shadows. I followed some monks quietly, and saw them carry all the guests in the guest room to the carriage. A hidden path behind the temple was transported down the mountain. I also saw that Gao Mingxu and others were dragged into the car by them. I didn’t chase you because I was worried about you, but if you look for it according to the ruts of the mountain road, it should be easy to find .”

Yun Jiu'an asked, "Then what happened to your injuries?"

Chunxi said: "When I turned around, I was spotted by a few monks, and I fought with them when I ran away. So as long as we follow the mountain path, we will definitely find the girl."

"Don't be too blind in this matter. We must know the purpose of these fake monks in Yuelao Temple to arrest so many people. If it's just the two of us, I'm afraid we will be caught in it instead." Yun Jiu'an objected .

"If Miss Yun doesn't want to go, please feel free to do so. My duty is to protect the girl well."

After speaking, Chunxi rushed into the night.

Yun Jiu'an sighed, there was indeed no rescuer to move right now, so he had to follow along and play by ear, trying not to scare the snake.

The entire Yuelao Temple has fallen into a dead silence, with no lights, no human voices, not to mention the sound of chanting sutras and bells.

At the same time, deeper in the belly of the Nanshan Mountain, in a messy pit dug by hand, there are small wet pits left after the ore has been hollowed out everywhere.

Walking along these small pits, there is a natural mountain wall with a height of tens of feet that slowly shrinks inward, covered with unknown green plants. In the dark night, those green plants become a natural green roof.

After many days of turbulence, Jiang Cheng, who was locked in an iron cage, was finally carried here and thrown to the ground like a sack.

Besides Yao Xueyi, there were more than a dozen other young men and women who were stunned all the way like them who were thrown to the ground at the same time.The difference is that because he and Yao Xueyi were prepared in advance, they were always in a state of sobriety and pretended to be unconscious, so as to leave secret marks along the way.

After the gray-clothed men who carried them in carried them in, they all went out one after another.

I didn't hear a single person speak during the whole process.

The pit fell silent again.

Jiang Cheng and Yao Xueyi slowly got up from the cold ground, but the situation in front of them surprised them.

In this huge pothole, there were no less than 50 or [-] people lying on the ground, all of them were well-dressed, as if they had just been captured from somewhere, and they were not as dirty as his carload of people. It stinks badly.

Yao Xueyi was also surprised, he got up and wanted to shake those people awake, but after shaking for a long time, none of them could open their eyes.

At this time, Jiang Cheng found that there was another passage on the right. He walked slowly and saw that the passage was connected to another large ore pit.

In the pit, two large iron cages were cast with iron bars, and thirty or forty people in ragged clothes were also lying in the iron cages.

These people are different from those outside. They all have their eyes open, but their eyes are dull, as if they don't have any consciousness.

A gust of wind came from nowhere, and he smelled a strong smell of blood and carrion.He was looking for the scent and wanted to go forward, but hurried footsteps came from behind him.

Before he pretended to lie down, someone called out: "Nephew Jiang Cheng, I finally expected you to come today."

When Jiang Cheng heard someone calling him, he was inexplicably startled, and turned around to see Jiang Shouren hurriedly walking towards him with two Jiang family stewards.

"Uncle Six, why are you here?"

The sixth uncle he called was the fifth concubine of Mrs. Jiang.

For many years, the Jiang family has been multiplying and living in the Jiangnan area.After the founding of Daqing, after decades of careful management and bold pioneering, it has become one of the leading clans in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not only does it own countless industries in Tongyi, Mozhou, Zhongling, and Leyang, the most prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, it directly controls a large number of car dealers, shops, and the marketing of porcelain, silk, and tea, and its family members also indirectly control many although inconspicuous. , but it is a business that is closely related to the people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River.

For example, grain, oil, meals, brothels, and even the coffin shop, I heard.Basically, when the people in Jiangnan open their doors, they must deal with the Jiang family's property.

Such a huge family has intersecting interests, and the factions within the family are very complicated, but the highest person in power is still the old man of the Jiang family.

The old man Jiang took his concubines very seriously.His first wife had only one son and one daughter, but his concubine had four sons and four daughters.

His eldest son, Jiang Yunxiao, only gave birth to a daughter, Jiang Ruoling, who has no other children.

The eldest daughter is Jiang Hongti, also known as Mrs. Dechanghou.

Although there are quite a lot of heirs in the partial house, Mr. Jiang issued a decree that, except for the eldest son Jiang Yunxiao, all the other four descendants of the Jiang family only have the right to share dividends.He does not have any power to arrange or advise on the huge property of the Jiang family, and it is strictly forbidden to participate in the family business.

It is also clear that the right to speak and control the Jiang family in the future will be entirely controlled by the direct line.The children of these partial houses only have the right to sit back and enjoy what they get.

Some of the partial house children are content with the status quo, and their idle life is many times better than that of ordinary families. There are also some children who refuse to accept the bias of the old man, take up the money they get, and start their own small businesses.

In this way, the Jiang family's business has been dabbled in, and there are many schools of thought, all walks of life, and there is no shortage of shadows of the Jiang family.

To run the Jiang family's huge business system well and keep it profitable, not only rely on the management talents Mr. Jiang has cultivated over the years, but also decisive people to make accurate decisions later.

Grandpa Jiang's son-in-law, Jiang Yunxiao, did have the demeanor of the old grandpa back then, with unique vision and decisive actions, but no matter how many wives and concubines he had, he could only give birth to a daughter like Jiang Ruoling.

In order to prevent the family from being in chaos, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to devote herself to cultivating Jiang Ruoling's ability to do business, and planned to recruit a son-in-law for her when she grew up.

So when Jiang Ruoling was very young, they often brought her by their side, allowing her to be nurtured and influenced by her ears and eyes.

It's a pity that Jiang Ruoling is really not that kind of material. At most, he manages the accounts and sees the entry and exit of property. When it comes to his sensitivity to business and human relations, he is in a mess, completely lacking the momentum of a family leader.

Every time she encountered a problem given by her grandfather and father, she would only go to Jiang Cheng for advice.

At the beginning, I managed things very well, and I was able to get away with it, but after a long time, my secrets were exposed.But in this way, the Jiang family discovered a business talent hidden behind others.

After many trials, the old man and Jiang Yunxiao gradually came up with the idea that after Jiang Cheng recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, he would become the Jiang family's son-in-law!
