Chapter 167 Loyalty

PS: This chapter is for the reward of poonlo, the leader of the villain.

Wei Jiuduan felt strangely harsh about the four words of residual value.

The main powerhouses of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall are the four chief criminal officers and the leaders of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Among them, the main requirement of the head of the criminal department is that his own strength is strong enough, while the chief criminal officer requires his own ability and means to be strong enough, otherwise he will not be able to restrain so many inspectors and martial arts sects under his command.

Wei Jiuduan's ability to sit in the position of the in-charge criminal officer is certainly related to his ability, but the more reason is his qualifications.

Wei Jiuduan has been in the Guanzhong torture hall for a hundred years, and his qualifications are even longer than Guan Siyu.

This kind of seniority means that as long as Wei Jiuduan does not make a big mistake, his position will be more secure than anyone else, but it also means that he is about to retire.

The Guanzhong Criminal Hall is not a place for the elderly. Some warriors in the aristocratic family are old, but because of their blood relationship, even if they can't make a move, they will still be called ancestors and be admired by future generations.

The sect also respects these old warriors, and generally gives them the position of Supreme Elder, and their status is respected.

Only the Guanzhong Criminal Hall is different. The warriors in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall are not allowed to intervene in the power of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall after they retire, and even their subordinates will dissociate themselves from each other and be loyal to the new boss. The so-called emperor and courtier That's it.

This is the rule of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, which can keep the power in the hands of a small number of people. It will not be like those big families, where there will always be some old people who are there to dictate and affect the right to speak of the head of the family or the head of the family.

Wei Jiuduan is already very old, and it is estimated that he will retire in a few years, and it will be the turn of the new criminal in charge.

That's why in the last few years when he was the prison officer, Wei Jiuduan's food was so ugly, he even reached the point of greed, and he didn't care about the laws and regulations of Guanzhong Xingtang. He was doing it for his own after retirement. Think about the future.

But even though he was ready to step down from power after retirement, he couldn't tolerate outsiders talking about these things.

Wei Jiuduan narrowed his eyes, and asked Chu Xiu in a cold voice, "Is that what the Jiang family really said?"

Chu Xiu said with righteous words on his face: "Of course I said so. If Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. The Jiang family has used your name as Mr. Wei to pretend to be a tiger and do all kinds of tricks. An outrageous move."

People in the Jiang family are not idiots, of course it is impossible to say these things in public, but in fact the Jiang family has been doing this all the time.

After all, the Jiang family paid such a high price to join Wei Jiuduan's line. God knows how long Wei Jiuduan can still sit in the position of the executioner. Of course, they have to make the best use of everything. time, try to get as much benefit as possible.

As long as Wei Jiuduan sent someone to inquire, it would be easy to find out these things.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether the members of the Jiang family have said these words, anyway, the direct descendants of the Jiang family are all dead, and their previous behavior can represent everything.

And at this time Chu Xiu took another step forward, and said in a low voice: "Master Wei, I still have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Wei Jiuduan narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family dared to say such a thing, not only because those in the Jiang family were ungrateful for profit, but also because they saw that you, Mr. Wei, are about to retire and step down as the criminal officer, and you have no power in your hands, so The fear of you has dropped a lot.

Mr. Wei, after you step down as the criminal officer, you will definitely have to cultivate in the land of Kansai. Now, among the inspectors under your command, Mr. Wei, with all due respect, they will only intrigue. I am afraid that after you step down, Mr. Wei People take tea cold. "

Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Wei Jiuduan's complexion was a little ugly, because Chu Xiu's words were exactly what he was thinking.

Wei Jiuduan is a very greedy person, including his own people, so he controls the land of Kansai only by his qualifications and some tricks. He has no confidants who are really willing to pay the price to cultivate.

It's just that although he doesn't have a reliable confidant, but with his strength and qualifications, he can manage the people in Kansai in an orderly manner.

As a result, he didn't realize that he didn't even have a reliable person until now that he was about to step down as the judge in charge.

He could hear the meaning of Chu Xiu's words, and it was nothing more than a different kind of loyalty.

However, Wei Jiuduan still looked at Chu Xiu with his eyes, and said lightly: "You mean you can become my confidant? But your backer is Chu Yuansheng, why do you bother to join me, an old man who is about to retire?

Besides, you, Chuxiu, are not a fuel-efficient lamp. If other people are fighting each other, you won't be like them? "

Chu Xiu lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said: "After all, Hero Chu is not from the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, and he can't intervene in the specific affairs of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. The county magistrate is better off now. I only know that my boss is now Master Wei, instead of trying to curry favor with Hero Chu, it is better to serve you, Master Wei."

Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes, subconsciously played with the Dragon Iron Gallbladder, and said indifferently: "But the crux of the problem is how can I trust your allegiance?"

Chu Xiu bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Other inspectors have their roots in the Guanzhong torture hall, and they are probably waiting for you to retire, Mr. Wei, so that they have a chance to take the position, or come to hug the thigh of the new judge in charge.

In the entire Kansai branch, only I, Chu Xiu, do not have the slightest foundation. I must rely on your support, Mr. Wei, to gain a foothold in this Kansai region. Without you, Mr. Wei, I am nothing, even if you have retired Yes, I also need Master Wei's connections and prestige in Kansai.

So you don't have to worry about whether I am loyal to you, as long as I have the intention to disobey, then Mr. Wei, you can take everything from me at any time. "

Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu in surprise. He had been in the Guanzhong torture hall for so many years. He had seen Wei Jiuduan who fawned on him, and Wei Jiuduan who was afraid of him or showed loyalty to him.

The only one he hadn't seen before was Chu Xiu, who showed his loyalty to others and even put all his own interests into his own hands.

It's just that this feeling is very good. As Chu Xiu said, he has no foundation in Kansai, just like today's incident. You can deal with him yourself, or you can not deal with him. It all depends on his mood and attitude.

Now the other inspectors are full-fledged, each has its own foundation, and it is no longer something he, an old man who is about to retire, can handle at will, so as long as he accepts Chu Xiu's allegiance, then he is equivalent to getting a full-fledged The patrol envoy in his own control.

Wei Jiuduan put his dragon-pattern iron gallbladder on the table, and said in a deep voice: "It's easy for you to want to be loyal to me, and it's easy for me to accept your allegiance, but the key is what I can get from you, and you What else can you get from me?"

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What the subordinates want is the trust of the adults. Just like this time, as long as the adults help the subordinates to carry out the things within the rules, the subordinates will definitely bring the adults back. More benefits, half of the Jiang family's property is just the beginning."

Wei Jiuduan took a deep look at Chu Xiu, was silent for a while, and finally said: "I hope my choice is not wrong, and you'd better not let me down."

"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will never let you down."

Chu Xiu lowered his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Wei Jiuduan would definitely agree in the end, because Wei Jiuduan actually needs him now more than he needs Wei Jiuduan.

For a criminal officer who is about to retire and lose some power, the current Wei Jiuduan has given up all the rules of the torture hall. As long as it can bring him benefits, he will greedily swallow it.

Now Chuxiu can bring him benefits, so he can't refuse, and he won't refuse.

At this time outside the conference hall, Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious. God knows what exactly Chu Xiu said to Wei Jiuduan, and why the two of them haven't come out for so long.

At this moment, Wei Jiuduan and Chu Xiu re-entered the conference hall. Chu Xiu had no expression on his face, but Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious.

The calmer Chu Xiu is, the more it shows that this matter may not develop in the direction he expected.

Sure enough, Wei Jiuduan directly said to the crowd: "I have already asked about Chu Xiu. The Jiang family secretly smuggled contraband, violated the rules of my Guanzhong torture hall, and even used my banner to do evil outside. It should be done." kill!

Chu Xiu, a newly appointed inspector, was able to dig out this cancerous tumor in the Jiang family. Not only should this matter not be punished, but should be rewarded. "

Hearing this, the complexions of all the people present changed suddenly. What Chu Xiu had said to Wei Jiuduan actually made Wei Jiuduan take a clear stand on his side.

Wei Hanshan even stood up directly, and said with dissatisfaction on his face: "My lord, this Chu Xiu doesn't follow the rules. It's almost blatantly blatant. Isn't this a problem?"

Wei Jiuduan's complexion suddenly sank, and he looked at Wei Hanshan with a gloomy gaze and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things? Do you need me to tell Master Guan that I will give up my position as the criminal in charge right now. Give it to you?"

Hearing this, Wei Hanshan had no choice but to sit back aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice, "This subordinate dare not."

His relationship with Wei Hanshan in Guanxi can be said to be deeply rooted. Apart from Guanzhong Xingtang, he even has connections in Guanzhong Wulin.

It's just that no matter how hard his relationship is, Wei Jiuduan is also the criminal officer in Kansai, and he controls the existence of one party's power. He said that it is right, even if one thing is wrong, it is still right.

At least before Wei Jiuduan officially retired and took down his power, Wei Hanshan didn't dare to confront Wei Jiuduan face to face.
