Chapter 166
After Wei Hanshan left, Jiang Taoran shook his head with a wry smile at Chu Xiu and said, "Brother Chu, what you're making this time seems to be a big deal. Generally speaking, disputes between inspectors are not reported to Mr. Wei. , but this time, you seem to have been annoyed by Wei Hanshan, and even brought the matter to Mr. Wei."
What Chu Xiu did had little effect on him. Every inspector had his own means of making money. Jiang Taoran was more slippery and more secretive in his work.
On the surface, he is naturally taking bribes from those martial arts forces in the lower state capital, but in fact he is secretly supporting a small family, specializing in smuggling business, and all the property he gets belongs to him, so the other sects What the family thinks has nothing to do with him.
He just appeared here to fish in troubled waters. If Wei Hanshan could get Chu Xiu away, he would be interested in Jianzhou Prefecture.
On the contrary, if Chu Xiu makes Wei Hanshan lose face, he will be in a good mood, because his relationship with Wei Hanshan is not good, part of Shangzhou Prefecture borders his Linzhou Prefecture, and there are many conflicts between the two sides.
Looking at Jiang Taoran, Chu Xiu said calmly: "I will explain to Mr. Wei, what if Wei Hanshan is dissatisfied? He is also an inspector, can he still eat me?"
An inexplicable smile appeared on Jiang Taoran's face and said: "That's all right, I'll wait and see how Master Chu responds."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Taoran also left directly.
Outside the conference hall, Du Guangzhong and others came out, and said with a sad face: "My lord, if Wei Hanshan brings this matter to Mr. Wei Jiuduan, it will be a big trouble."
The reason why the inspector is named inspector also means that this position has the power to inspect one side.
But you are just an inspector, not a manager. If Chu Xiu did such a big thing behind Wei Jiuduan's back, there is no guarantee that Wei Jiuduan will not get angry.
Chu Xiu asked: "Do you still remember that I asked you to divide half of the things that destroyed the Jiang family?"
Du Guangzhong was stunned and said: "Yes, but shouldn't those be handed over to the Guanzhong Criminal Hall?"
There was a trace of ambiguity on Chu Xiu's face and he said: "That is to be handed over to Mr. Wei. In this land of Kansai, Mr. Wei represents the Guanzhong Criminal Hall."
Du Guangzhong nodded thoughtfully, they seemed to have guessed something.
…………………
Wei Hanshan's words were not to frighten Chu Xiu. He lost face with Chu Xiu and failed to suppress Chu Xiu with his own strength. Of course he wanted to blame Wei Jiuduan.
Although this kind of behavior feels like a complaint, it is also the most effective.
Although it is said that Chu Xiu was recommended by Chu Yuansheng to enter the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, but if he is not stable in the position of inspector, then don't blame Wei Jiuduan for not promoting Chu Yuan's face.
Three days later, the Kansai Xingtang branch directly sent someone to find Chu Xiu to discuss matters at the branch, but in fact they must be asking him about the Jiang family's extermination of the family.
When Chu Xiu came to the conference hall of the Kansai Xingtang branch, besides Wei Jiuduan, the other five inspectors were also there.
Except for Wei Hanshan who looked at Chu Xiu maliciously, the others also looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look.
Just as soon as he took office, he wiped out a local big family. This kind of thing is something that people like them who have been inspectors for more than ten years dare not do. This Chu Xiu is acting too boldly, right?
Wei Jiuduan sat on the main seat. Although he was old, his gaze was as sharp as a falcon.
Even he himself didn't expect that Chu Xiu, the inspector who was recommended by Chu Yuansheng to enter the Guanzhong Torture Hall, was so bold. He had just taken over the position of inspector and wiped out a not weak family.
In fact, the Guanzhong Xingtang has done a lot of things to destroy the family, especially after Guan Siyu took over the Guanzhong Xingtang.
In the past, when Chu Kuangge controlled the Guanzhong Xuntang, Guanzhong Xuntang relied on Chu Kuangge's personal charm to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. Whether it was the people in the Xingtang or those aristocratic sects in Guanzhong, they all obeyed Chu Kuangge, even if there were people There are some small calculations in my heart, but I dare not show the water.
When Guan Siyu was in charge of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, he relied on harsh punishments. Anyone who violated the laws and regulations of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, even his own disciples, would not be spared. Those who follow the law and discipline will surely destroy their families and families, and there will be no mercy.
Of course, that was only thirty years ago, when Guan Siyu had just taken over the Guanzhong Criminal Hall.
Now the Guanzhong torture hall has stabilized, and the inspectors and execution officers in various places are in power, and they have a tacit understanding with the local martial arts forces. This kind of thing has not happened for a while.
Chu Xiu did such a thing, what really made Wei Jiuduan angry was that the Jiang family still had some relationship with him.
On his birthday in the past, the Jiang family once gave him a precious Jade Buddha of Pure Heart and Warmth, Wei Jiuduan remembered this matter.
As a result, how long did it take before Jiang's family was wiped out by his subordinates. This was like slapping him in the face. How would other people in Kansai think of Wei Jiuduan?
Looking directly at Chu Xiu, Wei Jiuduan said coldly: "Chu Xiu, I need an explanation for this matter! The Guanzhong Criminal Hall is not a place where you can do anything wrong!"
In an instant, a dignified coercion hit Chu Xiu, almost making him breathless.
In fact, when it comes to strength, the old Wei Jiuduan is naturally not the opponent of the Tiansin Helmsman, but when it comes to the power in his hands, the Tiansin Helmsman is far inferior to Wei Jiuduan.
The Heavenly Sin Helmsman was just a lone killer when he was at the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Society. Although he was in charge of the Heavenly Sin Sub-Helm in the later period, there were only a few hundred people under him, not even as many as Chu Xiu's now.
Wei Jiuduan, on the other hand, has been in charge of the Kansai region for decades, and his seniority is even deeper than that of the hall master Guan Siyu. He has tens of thousands of arrests, and they are all elites. With this kind of power, he has always held high positions. Naturally, Wei Jiuduan can develop an aura stronger than that of the Heavenly Sin Helmsman.
Under Wei Jiuduan's pressure, Chu Xiu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Jiang family smuggled contraband and disregarded the laws and regulations of the Guanzhong criminal hall. I should be punished for the crime. I acted in accordance with the rules!"
Before Wei Jiuduan could speak, Wei Hanshan sneered and said, "Rules, are the evidences you call rules? Chu Xiu, are you treating us all as idiots?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "I won't say whether I treat you as an idiot or not. Master Wei is here to ask questions. How can you speak here? Or do you think your status is already high enough to compare with Master Wei?"
Wei Hanshan choked on Chu Xiu's words, felt Wei Jiuduan's gaze, he could only snort resentfully, and stopped talking.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands at Wei Jiuduan and said, "My lord, there was a reason for the destruction of Jiang's family, but the reason involved some secrets. I want to report to you alone."
Hearing this, Wei Hanshan frowned immediately, he was not in front of him, God knows what kind of sophistry this Chu Xiu would say with his eloquent tongue.
But just now Wei Jiuduan was already very dissatisfied with his interruption, Wei Hanshan didn't dare to say anything more.
Taking a deep look at Chu Xiu, Wei Jiuduan said lightly, "Come in with me."
Coming to a study room, Wei Jiuduan said coldly: "Go ahead, but let me remind you, let's talk after you think about it!
Don't think that I'm being foolish, this place in Guanzhong is out of my control, I know exactly what you did in Jiang's house. "
Chu Xiu directly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I really have no evidence to destroy the Jiang family. I also know some secret rules of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. This time, I have searched all the property and resources of the Jiang family, half of which I They will all be dedicated to you, my lord."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Jiuduan was stunned.
He guessed that Chu Xiu would make an eloquent defense, but he never guessed that Chu Xiu would say such a thing.
Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes and said, "Are you bribing me? I didn't expect that such a person would be recommended by the Great Xia Chu to enter the Guanzhong Torture Hall."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Although I was recommended by the great hero Chu to the Guanzhong torture hall, I am not the kind of person who can't recognize the reality. Fang Zhengyuan, the inspector of the previous generation, is a lesson from the past.
It is okay to be upright, to be stern and selfless, but the premise is that you must have enough strength. My strength is not enough, so this set is not suitable for me. "
Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu, and to be honest, he was really surprised.
He thought that if Chu Xiu could be recommended by Chu Yuansheng to the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, he must be Fang Zhengyuan's role, but he didn't expect Chu Xiu to see it very clearly.
However, Wei Jiuduan still said in a cold voice: "Half of the Jiang family's property wants to fool this matter, I'm afraid you are thinking too simple!
I might as well tell you directly, the people of the Jiang family are very knowledgeable, and I am also very satisfied, but in the end you took the initiative to destroy the Jiang family, did you ever put me in your eyes?
If I don't deal with you this time, how will the martial arts forces in Kansai see me? The Guanzhong Criminal Hall has to follow the rules, the rules are the same in the open, and the rules are also the same in the dark. "
Chu Xiu sneered in his heart. His immediate boss really had a big appetite, and half of the Jiang family's property could not satisfy his appetite.
However, the current Wei Jiuduan is also in line with Chu Xiu's previous guess. The elderly judge may have completely abandoned his duties as the judge of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall and only considers his own interests.
But this is a good thing for Chu Xiu. If Wei Jiuduan is really just and upright, Chu Xiu would not dare to do things so badly.
Chu Xiu bowed to Wei Jiuduan, and said solemnly, "Master Wei, rules are rules. I am moving the Jiang family this time not only because the Jiang family is disrespectful to me, but also because the Jiang family is secretly damaging your reputation, Mr. Wei." .
The Jiang family gave you a pure and warm Jade Buddha, Mr. Wei, but secretly, the Jiang family took advantage of this little prestige to run amok in Jianzhou Prefecture, all in your name, Mr. Wei.
Even the Jiang family once said in secret that all the money has been spent, and of course they want to maximize your residual value, Mr. Wei! "
