Chapter 159 Trouble Left by the Predecessor

When Qin Fang told the story, Chu Xiu immediately felt that something was wrong, because it was all too coincidental.

Fang Zhengyuan just said that he would investigate the Jiang family, but he was killed in a blink of an eye. If there was no trick in it, Chu Xiu would not believe it.

What Chu Xiu can easily see, other martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture should also be able to see it, so they think that the entrance of the inspector hall of Jianzhou Prefecture is just like this, with loud thunder and little rain . Not only can't find anything, the dignified inspector actually lost his life here.

Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Since there are so many suspicious points inside, didn't the higher-ups send anyone over to investigate?"

Qin Fang smiled wryly and said: "Of course I sent people to investigate, but Master Wei Jiuduan did not do it himself. It was just a Jianghu arrester sent by the branch of the Kansai Criminal Hall to investigate. He didn't check Jiang's house, but just checked. It’s just that Mr. Fang’s own injury was checked, and no abnormality was found. In fact, although we saw something wrong, we didn’t find any abnormality.”

Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "The Jiang family has such a big suspicion but they don't investigate the Jiang family. What's the situation? Are the gangsters sent by the top not as good as you?"

Qin Fang coughed and said, "On the birthday of the Chief Criminal Officer, the Jiang family once offered a Jade Buddha, which was made of the Qingxin Nuanyu, a specialty of the Chu region. It is extremely precious and can be used in retreat The time made the martial artist calm down quickly, and the judge in charge liked it very much, so he specially ordered, before there is no absolute evidence, don't go to Jiang's house, so as not to cause chaos in the city in the end."

There was a strange look in Chu Xiu's eyes. This was a blatant bribe. He seemed to have some understanding of the character of his immediate boss.

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The character of the judge has always been like this?"

At this moment, Du Guangzhong sighed and said: "Of course not. In the past, when Lord Chu Kuangge was around, the Lord Judge would not do this. Later, Lord Guan Siyu became the head of the hall, with orders and strict rules, and the Lord Judge did not dare to do this.

It's just that in the past few years, the prisoner-in-chief is getting old, and he is about to retire, and he has to find a way out for himself, so that's why...he is so powerful in accumulating money.

When Mr. Fang Zhengyuan served as the patrol envoy, he was a little too blunt. It was fine if he didn’t give the lord the criminal any favors. Even for the lord the criminal’s birthday, he only gave some worthless calligraphy and paintings. Then he won't be liked by the criminal officer.

Wei Hanshan, the inspector of Shangzhou Prefecture next to our Jianzhou Prefecture, knows how to please the criminal officer, so now Wei Hanshan not only manages Shangzhou Prefecture, but also manages Chenzhou Prefecture, which is equivalent to the two places. inspector.

And this time, my lord, you were sent to be the inspector of the Jianzhou government. If you don’t come, I heard that Wei Hanshan is still collecting treasures, and I’m going to persuade the criminal officer to let him also take charge of Jianzhou. government affairs. "

Chu Xiu thought about it, he seemed to have some impressions of Wei Hanshan, he was very arrogant, obviously he didn't take this newly promoted inspector seriously, and his attitude was not very good.

But now it seems that it is probably because of the reason why he blocked his way.

"My lord criminal has done so much, why don't the main hall take care of it?"

Du Guangzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Chu, these words are actually somewhat taboo, but it doesn't matter if you say them now.

In the early years, when Master Guan Siyu first took control of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, the entire Guanzhong Criminal Hall was strictly prohibited, and the rules were strict, and no one dared to make mistakes.

Although my Guanzhong Criminal Hall has become more and more powerful in recent years, Master Guan Siyu has been a little slack, acting like a leader, even the main hall is like this, let alone the subordinates.

It's all because of that woman! Ever since Master Guan Siyu married that woman, his behavior has become more and more incomprehensible. The beauty is a disaster, and Master Guan is no longer the same Master Guan as before! "

The tone of Du Guangzhong's words was somewhat resentful.

He is an old man in Guanzhong Xingtang. He has experienced the period of Chu Kuangge and the early rise of Guanzhong Xingtang. He misses that time very much.

As a result, now, the Guanzhong Criminal Hall has changed, so much that he no longer recognizes him, and he himself has also changed. tax.

Liu Chengli on the side shouted in a low voice: "Old Du! Are you crazy? You dare to say anything! If you say this outside, you will be unlucky not only for you, but also for us!"

Du Guangzhong said indifferently: "I've wanted to say these things for a long time, but I'm not an idiot, so of course I won't say such things outside."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone is on their own right now, so of course they won't talk nonsense."

As he spoke, Chu Xiu couldn't help but think of Guan Siyu's wife, Mei Qinglian, that extremely charming woman.

It's just that Guan Siyu and Chuxiu have also seen him before. He acted decisively and thought clearly. Judging from his speech and demeanor, the chief hall master of Guanzhong Criminal Hall is not the kind of fool who is confused by women.

Chu Xiu is not interested in taking care of the secrets of the big man for the time being, he just said to Du Guangzhong and the others: "Come with me to Jiang's house tomorrow."

Du Guangzhong was surprised: "Master Chu wants to investigate and magnify the matter of people's death?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "I have nothing to do with that Fang Zhengyuan, why go to investigate that kind of thing?

What's more, this matter has already been determined by the criminal officer. Even if I find evidence and go to the criminal officer to reverse the case, it will only be a slap in the face of the criminal officer.

But to untie the bell, we still need someone to tie the bell. Since Jianzhou Inspector Tangkou suffered from the Jiang family, naturally we have to get it back from the Jiang family, and our inspector Tangkou also needs some new sources of income. .

Not to mention the danger of being caught by withholding those taxes, the money won't be much, and it's not worth it. "

Du Guangzhong and the three looked at each other without saying anything.

Now that they have expressed their surrender to Chu Xiu, it is natural that what Chu Xiu said, they will do so, except of course they will die.

If Chu Xiu really asked them to die, they would naturally not rush up in a daze.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Xiu took Du Guangzhong, the three of them and some accompanying small policemen to Jiang's house.

The place where the Jiang family lives is a small town called Qicheng. This small town used to be just a big villa, owned by the Qi family. After the Qi family was destroyed, many outsiders lived in the small villa, and finally developed Such a small town.

The strength of the Jiang family can be regarded as top-notch in this Jianzhou Prefecture. The ancestor of the Jiang family has the strength of the three-flower gathering realm, but because he is already old, he has long since ignored family affairs. During the day, he has been recuperating in the inner house, the position of the head of the family has been handed over, and the family affairs have been handed over to the next generation.

After arriving in Qicheng, Liu Chengli introduced: "My lord, the Jiang family has a strong foundation in our Jianzhou government, especially in this city, the Jiang family has been running it for several generations, and it is even called Jiang Bancheng, which means that the whole city Half of the business in Qicheng is owned by the Jiang family."

"Is there anyone in Qicheng at the gate of my inspector?" Chu Xiu asked.

Liu Chengli said with a little embarrassment: "Yes, there are, but there is only a congenital Jianghu arrester and a few ordinary arresters. Usually, he can only be responsible for some petty theft and the like. It is basically useless to talk about big things. .”

The head catcher in charge of Qicheng happened to be Liu Chengli's subordinate, so he looked a little embarrassed.

Chu Xiu didn't care, and said directly: "Go to Jiang's house."

At this moment in the Jiang family, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Xichen, was sitting at the head seat, listening to the servant's report with a puzzled expression in his eyes, obviously he did not expect that the new inspector would come to their Jiang family at this time.

The complexion of an old man below him changed a little: "Patriarch, is it possible that this new inspector is here to investigate the matter of Fang Zhengyuan, the previous inspector?

At that time, I advised you, Patriarch, that our Jiang family was so careful that we didn’t have any evidence left. If Fang Zhengyuan wants to investigate, let him investigate. Moreover, we have honored the Chief Inspector, and we will directly let the Inspector The adults just put pressure on him.

In the end, you didn't listen, and insisted on plotting against Fang Zhengyuan, colluding with the "Blood Empty Sword" Han Rang to kill Fang Zhengyuan, now it's all right, let's leave a handle, and killed a inspector of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. If the matter is discovered by others, it will be a great crime to exterminate the family! "

Jiang Xichen glanced at the elder with some disgust. Their Jiang family is good at everything, but these old things are always greedy for power and gossip here.

Right now, these elders are all from the same generation as the ancestor of the Jiang family. As a result, the ancestor has already retreated and ignored the family affairs, but these old guys are still getting in the way here.

Before Jiang Xichen said anything, a Jiang Family martial artist in his forties stood up and snorted coldly: "Investigate! The branch of the Kansai Criminal Hall has already been characterized. It was just an accident. Han Rang He also completely left Guanzhong, and even Fang Zhengyuan's body had been cremated. What can the new inspector find out?

What's more, our Jiang family used one-fifth of our family property to build the Pure Heart and Warm Jade Buddha last time on Mr. Wei's birthday. It will not be so easy for the new inspector to touch my Jiang family!

On the contrary, if you guys lost your position in panic, then you are causing trouble for my Jiang family! "

This person was Jiang Yao, Jiang Xichen's half-brother, and he had been on his side since he was a child. Seeing these elders' fear of wolves and tigers, he was also furious.

The elder sternly shouted: "Zhuzi! How dare you talk to the old man like this, do you still have the rules in your eyes, do you have superiors and inferiors?"

Jiang Xichen waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing, why are you arguing before people see you? Go and invite the new inspector in. My Jiang family has stayed in Jianzhou Mansion for nearly three hundred years. , What are you afraid of here? At worst, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."
