Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 31 Harvest
In Jinsha Valley, reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the scars left by the bloody night are being gradually smoothed out.

“It’s really different.”

Standing on a high place, looking at Wang Yuan walking from a distance with a whip in his hand, the skinny monkey's eyes moved.

For some reason, he always felt that Wang Yuan had undergone some changes after walking out of the dungeon. This change was not in appearance, but in his core, as if he had become a different person.

In his eyes, Wang Yuan used to be a decent man who always treated people with a smile, making people feel warm and at ease. But now Wang Yuan has changed. He has become a complete cruel official.

Although they were prepared to deal with the quicksand attack before, the impact was still not small. In addition, a series of people related to Qian Wen were completely liquidated, and people's hearts were naturally turbulent for a while. During this process, some people had thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In order to maintain stability, as the new rulers of the Jinsha Valley order, they naturally had to suppress these people. It was at this time that Wang Yuan showed his cold-bloodedness.

"Is someone smuggling gold sand again?"

His eyes fell on the bloody whip in Wang Yuan's hand, and the skinny monkey asked.

As a gangster, he thought he was quite ruthless, but he was still far behind Wang Yuan now.

There had been a riot brewing in the mine before, but a few mining tyrants saw an opportunity in the chaos and wanted to take advantage of it to gain more profits, or even take charge of the situation themselves. It was just that Wang Yuan discovered the clues in advance.

Not only did he sentence these mining tycoons to death, he also rounded up everyone related to them, either demoting them to the lowest level of slaves, using their flesh and blood to exchange for gold sand, or simply beating and killing them to shock the people.

He initially disagreed with this approach because it involved too many people and there must be some people who did not participate in the planning. However, he was eventually persuaded by Wang Yuan because Wang Yuan said that the big boss had already gone to Muyu Island and there must be no chaos in Jinsha Valley at this time, otherwise it might affect the big boss.

In addition, if we don't deal with it all at once and only deal with a few leaders, it will be equivalent to laying hidden dangers. After all, human relationships are a complex web.

Later facts also proved that Wang Yuan's approach was very effective. Under his deterrence, the situation in Jinsha Valley was completely stabilized. Although there were still some minor disturbances, they were not serious.

It was from this time that Shouhou clearly realized that compared with Wang Yuan, he was not cruel enough. If it were him, he really couldn't do what Wang Yuan did. He would most likely only kill the main culprit.

When Wang Yuan heard what Shouhou said, his expression remained unchanged and he nodded.

Looking at Wang Yuan like this, Shouhou instinctively felt a little uncomfortable. Now Wang Yuan seemed to have become a cold-blooded animal. Few things could cause his emotional changes. He was like an ice-cold poisonous snake.

"I don't know what Qian Wen said to cause such a change in Wang Yuan."

Shouhou was somewhat curious about Wang Yuan's changes, but he had no intention of asking. According to his subordinates' reports, when Wang Yuan walked out of the dungeon, Qian Wen had been tortured beyond recognition.

Skinny Monkey stopped talking, and Wang Yuan naturally didn't say anything either. In an instant, both of them fell silent, with only the breeze blowing quietly. Fortunately, at this time there was a noise coming from the port, breaking the awkwardness between the two.

"Is the big boss back?"

Guessing a possibility, Shouhou's face suddenly showed joy. What he was most worried about these days was Jiang Chen's safety. After hearing the horn from the port and realizing that it was really Jiang Chen's return, Wang Yuan's icy face finally showed some changes.

At the same time, in the Rat Garden, Rat Tianjiao, who was originally shaking his head like a rich landlord inspecting his own farm, moved his ears, immediately stopped, and cast his gaze towards the direction of the port.

Seeing this, the servant who was following behind it and was responsible for feeding the mice stopped immediately.

"Master Rat, is there something wrong?"

The voice was neither too loud nor too low, and the servant's face was full of respect. This was not a disguise, but a sincere expression.

The longer he was in contact with him, the more he could sense the extraordinaryness of Rat Tianjiao. Moreover, this Rat Garden was not a safe haven. There had been cases before where slaves fed rats, but were careless and were bitten to death by rats.

Of course, being a servant in the Rat Garden is not without its benefits. The most important one is that you can learn martial arts. For ordinary people, this is a stepping stone for advancement. This is also the fundamental reason why the servants still flock to the Rat Garden despite knowing the dangers.

When Shu Tianjiao heard the servant's words, he swung his tail and whipped it on the ground, making a sound like a whip, which made all the mice quiet down.

After doing all this, he glanced at the servant, squeaked, and then ran out of the rat garden.

Seeing this, the servant did not dare to delay and quickly took the opportunity when the rats were frightened to distribute the remaining food, and then left the rat garden as quickly as possible. At this moment, he was full of relief that his usual flattery was not in vain. As for what Rat Tianjiao was doing, that was not something he should be curious about.

With the news that Jiang Chen had returned safely and that he had officially become the third in command of the Dangjiang bandits, the dark cloud hanging over the heads of everyone in Jinsha Valley finally dissipated completely.

That night, a grand banquet was held in Jinsha Valley. There was plenty of wine and meat, and the place was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Even the miners and servants had a full stomach. For a moment, everyone had a smile on their face. However, as the real protagonist, Jiang Chen did not attend the banquet.

At this moment, he was in his own courtyard, counting his harvest.

"Third Master, this is all the gold sand we found, a total of three hundred and sixty-five taels."

Turning his gaze to Jiang Chen, Shi Tou handed him an account book.

These gold sands mainly consist of two parts. One is the gold sands that were previously visible in the Golden Sand Valley. These gold sands were cleared out after the night of the attack by the Quicksand Bandits and became Jiang Chen’s private property. The other part was swallowed up by Zhao Meng.

He hid the gold sand on an uninhabited island. On the way back, Jiang Chen took it out. Although he hid it secretly, he could not leave any secrets under Jiang Chen's soul.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen picked up the account book and flipped through it casually, then waved his hand.

Seeing this, Shi Tou quickly retreated.

After Shi Tou left, Jiang Chen slowly opened a small box. This box was different from the other boxes. The other boxes were filled with gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, while this box was filled with various books and a small bag.
