Chapter 160 The Lion's Big Opening

The members of the Jiang family welcomed Chu Xiu into the main hall very politely. Jiang Xichen cupped his hands to Liu Chengli, who came in first, and said, "Master Liu, you haven't been here for some time. I don't know why you are here this time?"

In Jianzhou Mansion, the Jiang family's most familiar Jianghu headhunter is Liu Chengli, and his whole city was under Liu Chengli's jurisdiction before.

Liu Chengli pointed to Chu Xiu who was behind him and said, "This is Mr. Chu Xiu, the new inspector of our Jianzhou government."

Jiang Xichen and other members of the Jiang family were about to pay a visit, but they were all taken aback when they saw Chu Xiu's strength.

Apparently they didn't expect that the new inspector was only in the Outer Gang Realm.

However, Jiang Xichen didn't show too much surprise, he just smiled and said: "It turns out that Master Chu was in person, it is really a crime, Master Chu was too low-key when he took office, otherwise my Jiang family would definitely send a congratulatory gift in person. "

Jiang Xichen's words were of course just polite. No matter how low-key Chu Xiu was, the Jianzhou Mansion was so big. How could the Jiang family not know that the new inspector took office? It's just that they didn't have this plan at all.

Chu Xiu waved his hands indifferently and said, "Patriarch Jiang, you are being polite. I am the guardian of the Criminal Hall in Guanzhong. They are all formal things. It doesn't matter if you have them or not."

Jiang Xichen laughed and said: "Master Chu is fine, but my Jiang family can't be indifferent. I will prepare wine and food here immediately, and Master Chu please take a seat."

Seeing that Chu Xiu's attitude was still kind, everyone in the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that the new inspector would be like the previous inspector, Fang Zhengyuan, who would not eat oil, salt, soft and hard, and they would have a headache.

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat. In fact, I am here this time to ask the Jiang family to help."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. The other members of the Jiang family were afraid that Chu Xiu would say that he wanted their Jiang family to help investigate the accidental death of the former inspector.

Jiang Xichen said with an ordinary expression: "Master Chu, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as my Jiang family can help, my Jiang family will definitely not refuse!"

Chu Xiu smiled and said: "It's easy to say, in fact, I came this time to find you, Patriarch Jiang, for alms.

You also know the situation in Guanzhong, Master Jiang. Warriors and caravans from Beiyan, Dongqi, and Western Chu, as well as some miscellaneous people, gathered here, causing the entire Guanzhong to be mixed with dragons and snakes. Attracted many murderers who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

It's not easy for me to guard the safety of the prison in Guanzhong. Over the years, I have sacrificed a lot. For example, Fang Zhengyuan, the former inspector, and Wu Siping, the Jianghu arrester under my command not long ago, these people are all for the protection of Guanzhong. died in the line of duty. "

The other members of the Jiang family were a little nervous when they heard the words Fang Zhengyuan, but Jiang Xichen's face remained the same, because he knew that the newly appointed inspector in front of him did not come here for Fang Zhengyuan's matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have added Wu Siping.

What's going on with Wu Siping, outsiders can see very clearly, this unruly Jianghu headhunter used to be very careful in his work, and would never take risks easily, but as a result, the new inspector just came to Wu Siping because of The public died in the line of duty, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

It's just that Wu Siping's case is the same as Fang Zhengyuan's case. There is no evidence and only suspicion is useless.

Therefore, he and Jiang Xichen focused on Chu Xiu's word "begging for fate", and he couldn't help asking, "What does Lord Chu mean?"

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "It's very simple. I guard Fang Ankang in Guanzhong Criminal Hall, but my brothers are reluctant to change even the broken swords in their hands. I heard that the Jiang family is rich and even has the title of Jiang Bancheng in Qicheng." , That’s why I’m thick-skinned and want to ask Patriarch Jiang to support me.”

When the Jiang family heard what Chu Xiu said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the autumn wind, since it is so, it is much easier to say.

In other places, if the local martial arts forces are beaten down by the people of the court, they will naturally be very disgusted and resist.

But in Guanzhong, 99% of the aristocratic families established themselves in Guanzhong by trading with people from the other three countries.

The Guanzhong Criminal Hall controls their lifeline, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, not to mention the autumn wind, the pure and warm Jade Buddha that the Jiang family gave Wei Jiuduan even cost one-fifth of the entire Jiang family. One's property is a hemorrhage.

Why did the former Inspector Fang Zhengyuan die? Not because he is greedy, but because he is not greedy.

Now Chuxiu took the initiative to reach out to help them ask for things, which is a good thing.

So Jiang Xichen immediately found a servant, whispered a few words, then turned to Chu Xiu and said, "Master Chu, don't worry, my Jiang family has been in Guanzhong for so many years, and I have been protected by the Guanzhong Criminal Hall for so many years. It is time to make some contributions to the Guanzhong Criminal Hall."

After a while, a servant came over with a brocade box. Jiang Xichen put the brocade box in front of Chu Xiu, and said with a smile, "Master Chu, please accept it."

Chu Xiu opened the brocade box, which contained a row of finger-sized purple gold bars and two bottles of elixir.

Jiangxi Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Two hundred taels of purple gold, and two bottles of five-turn elixir nourishing spirit pills with twenty pills. It's a trivial matter, but it's not a respect."

Chu Xiu glanced at the contents of the brocade box, picked up a purple gold bar to play with, looked at Jiang Xichen and said indifferently: "It's really a trivial matter, Patriarch Jiang, do you think I, Chu Xiu, am a beggar!? "

"boom!"

Chu Xiu slapped the brocade box and flew it aside. This sudden outburst shocked everyone. Even Du Guangzhong and others did not expect that Chu Xiu would turn against the Jiang family on the spot.

The faces of the people at the Jiang family suddenly showed a trace of anger. Chu Xiu's behavior was basically slapping them in the face. Someone like Jiang Yao who was so irritable was about to explode immediately, but was stopped by Jiang Xichen .

The smile on Jiang Xichen's face had subsided. He looked at Chu Xiu and said coldly, "Master Chu, what do you mean?"

Chu Xiu said coldly: "What do you mean? Two hundred taels of purple gold and two bottles of five-rank elixir are enough to send away a martial artist from the Outer Gang Realm, but you can send more than 200 gangsters from the whole Jianzhou inspector hall." and the police?"

Jiang Xichen suppressed the anger in his eyes and said, "How much do you want, Master Chu?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Not much, one-tenth of your Jiang family's property."

Hearing this, Jiang Xichen suddenly turned into a smile and said, "Master Chu has such a big appetite! People always open their mouths like lions, and your mouth is more ruthless than a dragon. One mouth will make my Jiang family very angry." One of the family property, why?"

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Your Jiang family is rich and powerful. You can give away one-fifth of the family property at one time as a birthday gift to the judge in charge. Isn't my inspector worth a tenth?"

Everyone in the Jiang family could see that Chu Xiu was simply making trouble for no reason.

One-fifth of the entire Jiang family's property was used as a congratulatory gift to Wei Jiuduan. It was because the Jiang family was courageous and ruthless in exchange for an asylum.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the Jiang family is considered a powerful force in Jianzhou Prefecture, it is very inconspicuous in the entire Kansai.

But when Jiangxi Chen tried his best to resist all the arguments and took out one-fifth of his family property to buy a Pure Heart and Warm Jade Buddha and gave it to Wei Jiuduan, their Jiang family immediately stood out and became the most outstanding person in the entire birthday banquet. Wei Jiuduan was indeed very satisfied with the gift from Jiang's family.

Seeing Wei Jiuduan's attitude, other people knew that Wei Jiuduan had remembered the Jiang family's favor, so they would not provoke the Jiang family in leisure time, which also made the Jiang family smooth sailing in the past few years.

Of course there are exceptions, for example, Fang Zhengyuan didn't care about Wei Jiuduan's attitude and insisted on embarrassing them, and it was impossible for the Jiang family to transfer Fang Zhengyuan to other places.

Although Wei Jiuduan wrote down the favor of the Jiang family, it does not mean that what the Jiang family says, Wei Jiuduan will do, because it is just a favor, not a transaction. to ask for.

If the Jiang family directly sent someone to find Wei Jiuduan and ask him to transfer Fang Zhengyuan away, then Wei Jiuduan would definitely beat the Jiang family out and think that the Jiang family was ignorant of flattery.

When did a small family dare to interfere in the appointment of inspectors? It is simply life and death.

That's why at that time the Jiang family chose to use the dangerous strategy of soldiers to get rid of Fang Zhengyuan. As long as they did it in a more concealed manner and did not leave obvious evidence, when the matter was reported to Wei Jiuduan, Wei Jiuduan would ask people not to investigate the Jiang family, otherwise he would die. According to the usual practice, an inspector should be strictly investigated.

After this series of events, they have already earned back the money they gave Wei Jiuduan as a birthday gift, and this deal is quite cost-effective.

And look at Chu Xiu in front of him again. Although he is an inspector, he is just a newcomer, and the most important thing is that he only has the outside world.

What benefits and benefits can a patrol envoy of Outer Gang bring to them? The Jiang family couldn't think of this, so Chu Xiu asked for one-tenth of the Jiang family's property as soon as he came up, and it can only be described in four words, that is wishful thinking!

At this moment, even the elders of the Jiang family, who had always seemed hesitant, wanted to turn their backs, but at this moment, Jiang Xichen waved his hand abruptly, stopping their next words.

Looking at Chu Xiu, Jiang Xichen smiled and said, "Master Chu, what you want is too precious, and I must report it to my ancestor before making a decision.

Besides, one-tenth of the property of the Jiang family is not only in Qicheng, but also in the outside world. It takes time to collect it. I don’t know if Mr. Chu can allow three days. After three days, my Jiang family will definitely give you an answer. of. "

Chu Xiu took a deep look at Jiang Xichen, and said, "Okay, I will give you three days, Patriarch Jiang, and I hope that after three days, you will make a rational choice."
