Chapter 339
Although Chu Xiu issued a military order on the spot, the position of the in-charge officer was smoothly taken into his hands. Although it was only temporary, Chu Xiu was confident that it would become permanent.
Yin Botong kept a dark face and didn't say anything more, Guan Siyu kept his word, and no one could refute his decision.
It's just that Yin Botong always felt a little strange.
He is an old man who followed Guan Siyu. When Chu Kuangge was the hall master in the past, he was the head catcher of the Guanzhong torture hall. He was a colleague of Guan Siyu in the early years, and he understood Guan Siyu's personality.
The words of the iron-faced judge are not just words. Guan Siyu was indeed extremely ruthless in his early years, and he would not favor anyone.
But in recent years, Guan Siyu has always made some unexpected decisions. Although they will not damage the interests of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, they are somewhat inconsistent with Guan Siyu's personality, just like what he is today. It's not obvious, but he must be leaning towards Chu Xiu, otherwise Chu Xiu would never have gotten through the difficulty so easily, and even got a promotion.
But Yin Botong didn't dare to say much at this time, so he had to leave with a dark face.
After Chu Xiu walked out of the gate, Yuchi also went out, cupped his hands to Chu Xiu and said, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, not only is he fine this time, but he was also promoted to be the prison officer. In the history of Guanzhong Criminal Hall, Brother Chu, you But the youngest executioner."
Chu Xiu asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Yuchi, are you envious?"
Yuchi shook his head and said, "Your position is not enviable by others, and I dare not envy you either."
Yuchi is a sensible person. Others can only see that Chu Xiu took the position of executioner at a young age, but no one sees what Chu Xiu has paid for this position. fight.
And the current Chuxiu still hasn't secured this position.
The news from Kansai just now is enough to explain everything. There are people inside who are dissatisfied with Chu Xiu, and there are still big clans in Kansai who are doing things outside. Under internal and external troubles, if Chu Xiu can't get rid of these things in a month It's all done, not to mention the position of the criminal officer, he can't even be the inspector, at most he will be thrown into the Criminal Investigation Division to be an ordinary spy.
Yuchi is cautious by nature, but he doesn't agree with Chu Xiu's extremely dangerous approach. If he is not careful, he will lose everything.
He is Guan Siyu's direct disciple, as long as he cultivates steadily and accumulates qualifications, after he reaches the realm of harmony between man and nature, he is basically free to choose whether he is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Department or the criminal officer of a place. There is no need to go to extremes like Chu Xiu.
After exchanging pleasantries with Yuchi, Chu Xiu walked out of the door, and Mei Qinglian came slowly from a distance, Chu Xiu just cupped his hands at Mei Qinglian, and didn't say much.
There are many people in the main hall, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Stepping out of the entrance of the main hall, Chu Yuansheng was waiting outside. Seeing Chu Xiu, Chu Yuansheng immediately went up to meet him and laughed loudly, "I knew Brother Chu, you would be fine this time. It’s still useful.”
Chu Yuansheng didn't think it was Mei Qinglian's credit for Guan Siyu's standing on Chu Xiu's side. He thought it was helpful that he went to see Guan Siyu yesterday. Although Guan Siyu didn't give him a chance to speak, he secretly stood by Chu Xiu. off this side.
Chu Xiu didn't point it out, but cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Brother Chu's help this time, I was able to get through this calamity smoothly."
Chu Yuansheng waved his hands and said, "Is there any need to be so polite between you and me? You just came to Guanzhong, stay a few more days before leaving."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I really don't have time to stay in Guanzhong this time. I just took over as the prison officer, but the land of Guanxi is a little restless. If I can't completely calm down within a month For these things, I am afraid that not only will the position of the in-charge officer be lost, but the position of the inspector will also be lost."
Chu Yuansheng quickly said: "Since this is the case, I will not keep Brother Chu anymore, but I believe that with your ability, Brother Chu, it will not be a problem to solve these things."
After bidding farewell to Chu Yuansheng, Chu Xiu returned directly to Kansai, and while Chu Xiu was still on the road, news came from the land of Kansai that Chu Xiu would take over as the judge in charge.
The people under Chu Xiu are naturally celebrating each other. Although they have confidence in Chu Xiu, but the killing of Wei Jiuduan is such a big mess, they still feel a little confused, but now Chu Xiu is not only fine, but also sits on the judge's seat location, what does that mean? It means that the entire Kansai land will be their world in the future!
But Jiang Taoran's complexion became extremely ugly after receiving the news.
He simply couldn't understand what the main hall and the hall master were thinking. Chu Xiu made such a big mistake, and the Kansai land was even more chaotic. This prisoner, is this still a rule?
Although Jiang Taoran was not convinced, he had no choice but to put away those little tricks in secret, and began to act in a low-key manner, erasing traces.
On the other side of the Zhang family in Yuanzhou, Zhang Wanshan, the patriarch of the Zhang family, sighed, called Zhang Kunze, and said, "Go and tell all the members of the Zhang family and those forces that are connected to my Zhang family, there is no need to make trouble anymore, the overall situation is settled, Chu Hugh has already become the execution officer, no matter how much trouble we make, the Guanzhong Criminal Hall will not replace Chu Xiu as the execution officer, otherwise the appointment of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall will be regarded as a trifle."
Zhang Kunze was still somewhat dissatisfied and said: "Old Ancestor, is it possible that we forget about it this time? Once we choose to stay low-key, then our Zhang family will lose all face this time!"
Before, the Zhang family aggressively united so many martial arts forces to jointly write to the general hall to trouble Chu Xiu, as if they were bound to pull Chu Xiu down.
In the end, instead of pulling Chu Xiu down, Chu Xiu was promoted. If they kept a low profile at this time, wouldn't that be the same as admitting defeat to Chu Xiu? Anyway, in the eyes of other martial arts forces, the Zhang family has lost face this time.
Zhang Wanshan sighed: "When Chu Xiu was not the prisoner, we could still compete with him, but now that the other party has really become the prisoner, we are the ones who will suffer.
Remember, never challenge the Guanzhong Criminal Hall in Guanzhong, otherwise we will always be the ones who suffer. "
Zhang Wanshan insisted so much, even if Zhang Kunze was a little unconvinced, he could only nod his head and follow Zhang Wanshan's instructions.
After Chu Xiu returned to Jianzhou Mansion, Ghost Hand King, Du Guangzhong and others were already waiting to welcome Chu Xiu at the gate of the city. When they saw Chu Xiu coming, everyone saluted and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to be a criminal officer! "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I haven't settled down yet. I heard that Kansai is in chaos during my absence? The hall master only gave me a month, and it will be settled within a month. With these messy things, I can be regarded as completely settled in this position.
Time waits for no one, go take over the Kansai branch first. "
Wei Jiuduan is dead, and now Chu Xiu is in charge of the executioner. Naturally, he will take over the Kansai branch. Regardless of whether those people under Wei Jiuduan were Wei Jiuduan's confidantes or not, Chu Xiu is not going to use them anymore. There can only be his people in the branch.
After cleaning up, everyone immediately went to the Kansai branch and began to formally take over the entire Kansai area.
Although the warriors under Wei Jiuduan had some complaints before, the warriors who belonged directly to the Kansai branch were scattered to other state capitals, but they still understand the principle of one emperor and one courtier. Now, they didn't dare to say anything more.
After dealing with these things in a few days, Chu Xiu asked Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong: "Tell me in detail what happened in the land of Kansai during this period, who is behind the scenes? "
The ghost hand king said first: "On the other side of the rivers and lakes is the head of the Zhang family of Yuanzhou. Except for the Zhang family of Yuanzhou, other martial arts forces have neither the strength nor the courage to dare to challenge you at this time.
But after you became the executioner, my lord, the Zhang family in Yuanzhou calmed down. It seemed that they were ready to admit defeat and resigned, and they didn't want to be your enemy anymore. "
Hearing this, Chu Xiu sneered and said, "People are responsible for their own words and deeds. Do you really think that if you keep a low profile now, you can pretend that nothing happened? It's just ridiculous!"
Chu Xiu has never been a magnanimous person. He plotted against him once, but if he didn't succeed, he kept a low profile and gave in, thinking that things could just be fooled like this? How can it be that simple.
People who hang out in the arena, you can always talk to him about swords and fists than reasoning.
If someone offends me, stabbing him will always be more effective than compromising and reasoning.
Du Guangzhong said from the side: "There are still some people who spread the news that you killed Wei Jiuduan in the Jianghu, and even said that some dirty things between you and Wei Jiuduan are serious. This is definitely done by the people inside the Kansai Criminal Hall. of.
I had someone check it out, and the person who did it was very careful, leaving no traces of clues, but the most stupid elimination method can be used to figure out who is behind the trick.
Situ Xing and Fang Hua didn't have the guts and no reason to do it. I sent someone to investigate, and it was definitely not them who did it. If this is the case, Jiang Taoran is the only one left. "
There was a gleam of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. To be honest, he didn't expect Jiang Taoran to make the move, because even if Chu Xiu couldn't be the executioner, it wouldn't be Jiang Taoran's turn to do so. It is purely at the expense of others.
It's just that why Jiang Taoran did this, Chu Xiu didn't want to know, anyway, for him, these were the people he was planning to clean up this time.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Go and inform Situ Xing, Fang Hua, Jiang Taoran, and Yang Ling to come to the branch of the punishment hall. The new official has taken up the post of three fires, and it's time to clean up a group of people.
To fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside, first sort out the internal affairs of Kansai, and then go to solve the forces of the Zhang family. "
