Chapter 854 Strange Things
Because the city lord didn't pay attention to it, he even cheated the Zhong family leader.
Except for the Jiang family and the Zhong family, no one else knows about Qiong Ling.
Zhong Ti did send people to the iron mines, but the Zhong family didn't have any experts, so the people they sent didn't dare to get too close to the iron mines.
By the time this incident spread, the group of dome spirits were already less than a hundred miles away from Xiongcheng.
Jiang family.
Jiang Lan's face was as dark as ink, and he looked at his subordinates coldly.
The killing intent in his eyes almost overflowed.
"I asked you to keep an eye on the Zhongjia Iron Mine and send a message back immediately if there is any movement."
"Is this what you're staring at?"
"Now that Qiongling is heading straight for Bear City, tell me, if you fail to stop it, which of you can shoulder this responsibility?"
Most of these subordinates have followed Jiang Lan since he was a child.
Seeing that Jiang Lan was really angry, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.
"say!"
"Are you all dumb?"
Jiang Lan slammed the table.
A group of people were trembling with fear, and the timid ones fell to their knees and begged loudly for mercy.
"Miss, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance..."
"It's not that we didn't do our best, we just really didn't find anything unusual."
"Miss, I have followed you all these years, and I have worked hard without any merit. Please, out of consideration for the past, please forgive me this time."
They say anything, but basically they are either shirking responsibility or playing the emotional card.
Jiang Lan's face turned green with anger.
Why did she raise such a bunch of idiots!
They had been told a long time ago that Qiong Ling should not be careless, otherwise it would cause disaster to the whole city.
It was good for these people to turn a deaf ear to her words.
Now that something really happened, I know how to beg for mercy.
If it weren't for the fact that there were not many people available at his disposal, Jiang Lan would have wanted to shoot them all to death.
Not just her subordinates, but also those idiots from the Jiang family.
She held the Patriarch's Token in her hand, but those people only acted superficially and didn't take her words to heart at all.
If not, it would have been impossible to wait until Qiong Ling attacked the city before discovering the clues.
Jiang Lan closed her eyes tiredly.
She finally understood why the Jiang family had made no progress in these years.
There are a bunch of pig teammates, who can lead them?
Grandpa worked really hard...
At this time, Mr. Jiang, who Jiang Lan lamented in his heart, was also lecturing others with a dark face.
Compared with those in Jiang Lan's courtyard, there are more people here.
There are seventy or eighty of them.
Except for the two sisters Jiang Lan and Jiang Yu, all the Jiang family members who were ranked high are now here.
Mr. Jiang looked at them expressionlessly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"With you, the Jiang family's decline is just around the corner."
"It seems that there is no need for me to wait a hundred years before handing over my position as the head of the family. If any of you want to be the head of the family, just say something."
"I will pass the seat to you now."
"You don't have to wait until I get down there to face my ancestors without shame."
A group of people were as quiet as chickens, no one dared to speak.
I already touched the old man's brow, but if I dare to make him unhappy at this juncture, I think I will live long.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Mr. Jiang became even more angry.
"Aren't you all pretty eloquent on weekdays?"
"How come at this time, everyone has become a quail?"
"Jiang Benchu!"
Jiang Benchu was Mr. Jiang's eldest son. When he heard the old man calling his name, he was excited and quickly replied.
"Old man, I am..."
"Do you know about Qiongling?"
"Know, know..."
Jiang Benchu wanted to say he didn't know, but when he saw the old man's angry eyes, he could only answer honestly.
"Since you know it, why don't you pay attention to it?"
"me……"
What can he say?
Just treat it as a rumor?
No one has seen Qiong Ling for so many years, so you think Jiang Lan is lying to them?
If he dares to say this in front of the old man, the old man will never forgive him!
Mr. Jiang snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on another person.
"Jiang Yuanlai."
A young man stood up.
He is not Mr. Jiang's biological grandson, but he is the most outstanding person in the Jiang family.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
Despite this, his talent and talent are undeniable.
Being named by Mr. Jiang, Jiang Yuanlai could only speak bravely.
"Grandpa, I know about this matter. After cousin Jiang Lan sent someone to inform me, I sent someone to investigate, but nothing was found..."
Anyway, if he did the thing and it didn't produce any results, then it has nothing to do with him.
With this mentality, Jiang Yuanlai argued.
But he didn't expect that these words would make Mr. Jiang look even worse.
He was perfunctory and said it so grandly.
It really opened his eyes!
In recent years, in order not to expose his strength, he spent most of his time in seclusion and rest.
Leave all the affairs of the Jiang family to the younger generation.
The result was good, no one could satisfy him!
Mr. Jiang was a little lucky and gave the spirit lock stone to Jiang Yu.
From now on, Jiang Yu will be the Jiang family's biggest trump card, and he can continue to control the Jiang family.
Otherwise, if these brainless idiots continue to run the business, the Jiang family may soon become a substandard family.
But the biggest problem right now is Qiong Ling.
If you can't solve Qiong Ling, everything you say is in vain.
Mr. Jiang sighed, feeling very tired.
At this moment, a heroic-looking girl wearing a green shirt suddenly stood up.
"Grandpa, I discovered something about Qiongling."
"Jiang Yan?"
Mr. Jiang looked surprised.
Among his grandchildren, there are more girls than boys.
Jiang Yan is also his granddaughter, but he doesn't like this granddaughter.
Warriors pursue strength and don't pay much attention to other things.
Female warriors naturally do not pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues like ordinary women.
But this granddaughter is extremely out of line.
It’s just that she doesn’t look like a girl, but she still likes to dress up in men’s clothing.
In Mr. Jiang's opinion, it was very embarrassing to the Jiang family.
However, at this juncture, Mr. Jiang temporarily suppressed his unhappiness and asked.
"What did you find?"
"After receiving the news from Sister Jiang Lan, I immediately took people to the Zhongjia Iron Mine to investigate."
"When we arrived, the iron ore was empty."
"Where the Dome Spirit was originally hidden, only traces of the life of monsters were found, but not a Dome Spirit was found."
"But we found something strange."
With that said, Jiang Yan handed a package of things wrapped in oil paper to Mr. Jiang.
The thing was black and smelled pungent.
After just one glance, Mr. Jiang's expression changed drastically.
He suddenly looked up at Jiang Yan.
"Where was this thing found?"
"There are several places. Judging from the distribution, it seems to be to drive the dome spirit out."
"Go and call Jiang Lan...and Jiang Yu."
After a long silence, Mr. Jiang ordered.
