Chapter 161 The Jiang Family's Confidence

PS: Thank you book friend Feihong Witch for tipping 30,000 starting coins, and Yiyichen for tipping 10,000 starting coins.

Outside Qicheng, Chu Xiu glanced back at the Jiang family, and said calmly, "No wonder this Jiang family can rise in Jianzhou Prefecture, this Jiang Xichen is a character."

Du Guangzhong nodded and said: "That's right, the Jiang family dared to attack Fang Zhengyuan in the past, it was indeed daring."

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, I mean his attitude today.

Just now I have gone too far, and my strength is still here, but this Jiang Xichen can still hold back from turning against me. If it were you, would you? "

Du Guangzhong thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

Thinking in another way, just now Chuxiu's behavior was just looking for trouble. If he is the head of the family, it would be no wonder that he would agree.

Not to mention that Jiang Xichen is so powerful that he even dared to plot and kill a patrol envoy, even other small families would not allow Chu Xiu to bully him like this.

If you are an inspector, you can ask for a tenth of your family's property with a single mouth, so are you the Guanzhong Criminal Hall or the Thirty-Six Great Bandits of the Northland?

"Then, what should we do after three days?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Cold salad, as I said, after three days, I hope the Jiang family will make a rational choice. The right to choose is not mine, but theirs."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu turned around and left directly with the people.

At this time, in the Jiang family, Jiang Yao said dissatisfiedly: "Patriarch, why do you have to bear with Chu Xiu when he is so arrogant? One-tenth of the family property, thanks to him being able to speak like this! It's just that I don't know what it means!"

Jiang Xichen said coldly: "Of course I know that Chu Xiu is purely blackmailing my Jiang family on purpose, but my Jiang family has been able to go all the way to the present, relying on these two points of caution and determination.

When it's time to make a move, it's natural to make a decisive move, but you can't do it recklessly. Think about it carefully, the inspectors of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall are almost all masters of the Sanhua Juding realm, but now this one suddenly appeared A martial artist in the outer world, without background, can he sit in this position?

Fang Zhengyuan, the former inspector, was rigid in life and didn't know how to adapt. He has long been disliked by Mr. Wei, and there is no backing behind him, so we dare to take action, but for Chuxiu, let's investigate his background first and see how he is. Are you qualified to take one-tenth of my Jiang family's property! "

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xichen said directly to Jiang Yao: "Come on, follow me to Shangzhou Mansion, and ask Mr. Wei Hanshan about the origin of Chuxiu!"

This time the Jiang family only took out such a small amount of things to send Chu Xiu away. It's not that they really looked down on Chu Xiu, but that they had already spent a share of the money on the inspector, but it was not Chu Xiu, the inspector, but Shangzhou. Inspector Wei Hanshan.

Before Fang Zhengyuan's death, Wei Hanshan was the most active. He wanted to seize the opportunity to take over the Jianzhou government. The Jiang family planned to invest in advance, so they went to give Wei Hanshan a big gift.

It's just that Wei Hanshan didn't take over the Jianzhou government in the end, but instead sent a new inspector, which also made the Jiang family give this big gift for nothing.

Of course, it was not a free gift, at least Wei Hanshan had remembered the Jiang family's intentions, even though Wei Hanshan did not enter the Jianzhou government in the end, he still had a certain connection with the Jiang family.

The area of ​​Shangzhou Mansion is about the same as that of Jianzhou Mansion, but it is much more prosperous. There are more than 20 small cities under its command, and Shangzhou City in the center is also more prosperous than Jianzhou City.

Moreover, Wei Hanshan's behavior was different from most inspectors.

Most of the inspectors of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall will live in the entrance of the inspector hall most of the time even if they have a house outside, while Wei Hanshan likes to enjoy luxury. He has a special mansion in Shangzhou City. Even the place of office is in his own courtyard, and he will only go to the entrance of the inspector's hall unless something important happens.

At this time, Jiang Xichen brought people to Wei Hanshan's mansion, and after announcing the news, he was taken into the living room. After a while, Wei Hanshan came out yawning, wearing a loose brocade robe, slowly Tun Tun said: "Isn't this Jiang Patriarch, why come to me when you have time?"

Wei Hanshan was quite enthusiastic about Jiang's family before, if he can successfully take over the Jianzhou government, then a local rich family like Jiang's family must also be the one he wants to make friends with.

It's just that now that the new Jianzhou Inspector has taken office, he has given up on this idea, and his attitude towards Jiang's family is also very casual, but after all, he has received benefits from them, and he still needs to see him when he should.

Jiang Xichen cupped his hands respectfully and said, "I came to Lord Wei this time to inquire about the new Jianzhou Inspector Chu Xiu. That Lord Chu is really a little too deceitful!"

Hearing the news about Chu Xiu, Wei Hanshan became a little interested, and asked, "Why, what's wrong with your new inspector?"

Jiang Xichen said with a trace of grief and indignation on his face: "Then Chu Xiu came to my Jiang family to beg for alms, and my Jiang family also gave Chu Xiu a lot of property according to the rules, but who would have thought that Chu Xiu would be a lion? , One-tenth of my Jiang family's property will be demanded with just one mouth!"

Hearing this, Wei Hanshan was speechless, and he couldn't help but sighed: "This Chuxiu really dares to say such a thing, one-tenth of the family property, is he poor and crazy?"

The position of the inspector can be regarded as the existence of the most basic level of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall to control a party's power. In a small town with more than ten seats in a state capital, there are dozens of forces, large and small. It's normal, but Chu Xiu directly asked for one-tenth of the family's property.

So here Wei Hanshan asked in surprise: "This Chuxiu has gone too far, and you haven't turned against him yet?"

Jiang Xichen said: "I also want to turn my face, but that Chuxiu looks aggressive, and I'm not sure who the other party's backstage is, in case the other party has something to do with the main hall, and wants to pinpoint me Isn't it easy for such a small family as the Jiang family?

That's why I turned to you, Mr. Wei, for help, and wanted to find out the details of Chuxiu. "

Wei Hanshan looked at Jiang Xichen with a half-smile, "Patriarch Jiang is quite careful."

Jiang Xichen smiled and said: "People in the rivers and lakes will die long ago if they are not careful. There are still a lot of people behind my Jiang family, so I can't help but be careless."

Wei Hanshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Patriarch Jiang has said so, I will help you this time. Chu Xiu's identity is really not simple, and there is also a backstage."

Hearing Wei Hanshan's words, Jiang Xichen immediately thought it was dangerous.

The water in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall is deep, and the four major criminal officials are just powers on the surface. The warriors with real combat power are all inside the main hall, such as the leaders in the Criminal Division. It is said that they His strength is stronger than that of the four executioners.

But then Wei Hanshan said: "But you don't have to worry, Chu Xiu can't threaten you.

Although this Chu Xiu is young, he is still quite famous among the younger generation, and he is a figure who has been on the dragon and tiger list.

He used to be a casual cultivator, and later joined the Azure Dragon Society. He used to be an assassin in the Azure Dragon Society for a while, and it is said that the land of Yandong is still full of storms.

Later, without knowing what happened, he suddenly defected from the Azure Dragon Society, joined the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, and became the inspector of Jianzhou.

And his background, that is, the key to making him an inspector is the 'Guan Zhong Hero' Chu Yuansheng. This son was personally recommended by Chu Yuansheng to Lord Guan Siyu, and it is said that he is also a distant relative of Chu Hero.

Since it was Hero Chu who spoke, Lord Guan Siyu would naturally give him face. Otherwise, do you think that he, a warrior in the outer world, can become an inspector so smoothly? "

Wei Hanshan looked at Jiang Xichen, and said calmly: "Although Chu Xiu is a hero of the younger generation, his reputation is only in Yandong's generation. No matter how heroic he is, he is only a younger generation, so there is nothing to worry about.

As for Chu Daxia's recommendation, you don't have to pay attention to it. Chu Daxia has recommended many people over the years. Who do you think he has managed?

Besides, even if Hero Chu wants to take care of it, he can't take care of it. This is an internal matter of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and Hero Chu has his own measure. "

Hearing this, Jiang Xichen breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands at Wei Hanshan and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for telling me."

Wei Hanshan's news is very important to Jiang Xichen, without absolute confidence, how dare he turn against Chu Xiu?

In the past, the Jiang family dared to attack Fang Zhengyuan because Fang Zhengyuan had no backing, and even Wei Jiuduan didn't like him, but their Jiang family still had a favor with Wei Jiuduan.

And although Chu Xiu is weaker than Fang Zhengyuan and has a backing, obviously this backing is useless.

The name of "Heroes of Guanzhong" in Guanzhong is indeed great, but the big thing is only fame, not power.

Just like what Wei Hanshan said, Chu Yuansheng would not easily intervene in the internal affairs of Guanzhong Xingtang. If he would take care of every person recommended by him if something went wrong, then who is in charge of this Guanzhong Xingtang?

Jiang Xichen smiled and handed over a brocade box, which contained five hundred taels of purple gold and two six-rank pills. Although there were only two pills, they were more valuable than Chu Xiu's previous two bottles.

The contents of this brocade box were more than double what was prepared for Chu Xiu before.

"What does Patriarch Jiang mean?" Wei Hanshan put away the brocade box calmly, and then asked.

Jiang Xichen said with a smile: "It's a small thing, please Mr. Wei don't dislike it. My Jiang family is going to do business in Shangzhou recently, and I hope Mr. Wei will take care of you when the time comes.

And if Chu Xiu still wants to embarrass my Jiang family, I hope Mr. Wei will speak a few words of justice for my Jiang family. "

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although the Jiang family has left some impressions in front of Wei Jiuduan, the inspectors at the bottom also want to make friends.

Originally Chu Xiu was a very good choice, but since Chu Xiu was too greedy, they had no choice but to look far away and make friends with Wei Hanshan, at worst they moved their business to a part of the Shangzhou government.
