Chapter 149 takes office
Wei Jiuduan said something, but it was actually the same as not saying it.
If anyone violates the rules in the Ming Dynasty, then he doesn't need to say anything, Guan Siyu can't spare them.
But who decides the secret rules?
But now that Chu Xiu is just here, what the boss said immediately is naturally what it means, so Chu Xiu did not refute at all and bowed directly: "As the Lord's orders."
Seeing Chu Xiu's attitude, Wei Jiuduan nodded with satisfaction. He was afraid that Chu Xiu would not be able to tell his status because he was recommended by Chu Yuansheng. Now it seems that he is still very self-aware.
Chu Yuansheng's status in Guanzhong Punishment Hall is indeed very high, because he is Chu Kuangge's son, and everyone is willing to give him face and give him the courtesy he deserves.
But if Chu Yuansheng intervened too much in the power of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he would be dissatisfied with the punishment officer like Wei Jiuduan who held high power.
Wei Jiuduan said to the other five officials, "From then on, Chu Xiu will be your colleague, especially Wei Hanshan and Jiang Taoran. The territory of your two are next to Chu Xiu, and they usually have to help each other."
Among these two, Jiang Taoran is a middle-aged man in his forties facing the forties, with the strength of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. Hearing this, he smiled at Chu Xiu and bowed, "Brother Chu, you and I will be colleagues in the future."
Chu Xiu also stood up and bowed to his greeting.
As for Wei Hanshan, he seemed much younger, with only in his thirties and had the strength of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. However, he entered this realm much earlier than Jiang Taoran. In fact, he was already over forty years old, but he seemed younger.
Facing Chu Xiu, Wei Hanshan seemed much more casual, but he bowed and called Brother Chu, and it would be fine if he could get over the face.
A warrior from the outer Gang realm who came in through the back door did not really treat the other party as equal.
Wei Jiuduan coughed and said, "Okay, then I'll be here today. Let's go back to your patrol site. Chu Xiu, after going to the back hall to get clothes and the inspector's waist card, you can take office."
Chu Xiugong bowed and retreated with several other inspectors.
The other people did not mean to talk to Chu Xiu. Although there was no conflict of interest between them, it was obvious that Chu Xiu's current background and strength were not qualified to be recognized by them.
After receiving his clothes and waist cards, Chu Xiu left the Guansai General Hall directly and headed to Jianzhou City in Jianzhou Prefecture.
The land of Guanxi is not like the Northern Yan, so it is not divided into counties, but is just roughly divided into some prefectures. Jianzhou Prefecture under Guanxi is one of them. Jianzhou City is the center of Jianzhou Prefecture, and there are more than ten small cities around it that are under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Prefecture.
At this time, the gate of the inspector's office was closed tightly in the conference hall, and four foreign gang captains sat there, silent.
The four of them are the four strongest archers in the Jianzhou Inspection Envoy's Hall. After the death of the inspector, all the captains and constables were under their control.
One of the men in their forties with a red scar on their face chuckled and said, "Everyone, don't stop talking. News has been passed down from the branch office. The new inspector will take office soon. We should discuss what to do, right?"
A 50-year-old leader across from him wiped the long knife in his hand and said lightly: "What are you discussing? Since an adult has been sent from above, let's continue to obey orders, otherwise what do you want to do?
Wu Siping, I know you have ambitions, but you wouldn’t really think that the superiors would let you be the inspector, right?
Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not the past now, and many capable people emerge. Even if Lord Fang Zhengyuan dies, the new inspector will not be your turn, a warrior from the outer gang realm.
There are countless strong people in the Criminal Office, and you can take out one of them to be the inspector."
Wu Siping snorted coldly and said, "Du Guangzhong, don't interrupt here! You know that I'm not talking about this!
During this period, we only paid 60% of all the taxes, and we all shared the other 40% equally.
Although I proposed this matter first, you three have reached out to take it. Now that the new inspector is here, this matter must not be disclosed. Moreover, we will pay all the taxes in the future, or will we continue to intercept them?"
Guanzhong Punishment Hall is between the rivers and lakes and temples. Although it does not belong to the three countries, it also has various tax revenues.
Especially the Guanzhong area belongs to the center of the Three Kingdoms, and the transactions are extremely prosperous, and this tax is a big part of the development of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Normally, this tax is collected by the lowest-level gangsters in various places, and then handed over to the inspector, who handed over to the branch of the Criminal Hall, and finally handed over to the Zongtang, where the Zongtang will intercept part, and the remaining part will be handed over to the Three Kingdoms on the same level.
So theoretically, they are the lower-level gangsters and even the inspectors, etc., are not allowed to intercept a slightest bit. They must be handed over to the Chief Executive, and then the Chief Executive will pay salaries and cultivation resources according to their level.
Although doing this seems a little troublesome, it can ensure the fairness and strictness of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Now the four of them dare to intercept tax revenue in secret, which is a big taboo.
Du Guangzhong's hand that wiped the sword stopped suddenly and said in a low voice: "Are you crazy? When no one supervises it, we can do some small tricks on the books. Now a patrol envoy has been sent down. You dare to do this. Are you tired of living?"
Wu Siping said coldly: "Old Du, you are too timid. Look at the other inspectors, who do not have a gray income?
That is, that hard guy Fang Zhengyuan didn’t know how to adapt, and we all followed the sound of poverty!
I used to have a sworn brother who worked in the headquarters of the Criminal Hall. Yesterday, he asked someone to send me a letter to tell me that the new inspector was not from the head of a martial arts captain, but was recommended by the Guanzhong hero Chu Yuansheng, and he had never stayed in my Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Just an outsider, the four of us joined forces to get the things we have to save face, and the accounts in secret are not allowed to be modified?
Even if we cooperate well, it will be no problem to completely put the other party in a breach!
An outsider came up and became the inspector of our Guanzhong Punishment Hall. He didn’t even have any experience. Do you really think that my Guanzhong Punishment Hall is so easy to mess with?"
Du Guangzhong was still a little hesitant: "But..."
"No, but!"
Wu Siping interrupted him directly and turned his gaze to the other two people and said, "Qin Fang, Liu Chengli, what do you two mean?"
The other two thought about it and gritted their teeth and said, "Did it!"
If the new inspector was an old man from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, they might not dare to do such a little trick. However, since the person who came was an outsider who had never been in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall at all, they also had some confidence.
Wu Siping turned his eyes to Du Guangzhong and sneered: "Old Du, we are one. If you don't agree to this, you are cutting off the financial path of the three of us. You know the consequences. Don't forget how Lord Fang died before. The Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not the Guanzhong Punishment Hall in the past!"
Listening to Wu Siping's words with some murderous intent, Du Guangzhong's expression changed slightly.
Du Guangzhong is an old man from Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and his father is the leader of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
However, Wu Siping was a lone thief who killed people when he was young. After being caught by the captain of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he was willing to repent and chose to join the Guanzhong Punishment Hall to serve him.
Du Guangzhong didn't know whether he really repented over the years, but the other party's fierceness had not changed much.
And as Wu Siping said, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not the Guanzhong Punishment Hall before. As an old man in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he feels the most obvious.
Under the eyes of Wu Siping and the other two, Du Guangzhong had to nodded with difficulty.
Just then, someone knocked on the door outside, and a warrior came in and said, "Sir, the new inspector has entered the city."
Wu Siping grinned and said, "Let's go and welcome this 'new' adult, three of you, remember, have a better attitude, after all, this adult has a 'backstage'."
After the death of the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan, the power of the entire inspector's hall was in the hands of the four of them. As Wu Siping said before, it was easy for the three of them to undermine the new inspector.
But he would not be able to play with such low-level methods as a warning. After all, the rules of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall are inspectors, and they are just leaders of the martial arts world. They are senior officials and they can't lose their skills in face.
In Jianzhou City, Chu Xiu rode a group of red horses and wore a black warrior uniform from Guanzhong Punishment Hall. On the left was embroidered with a pair of sword signs, just like the swords standing at the entrance of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. This also represents the identity of Chu Xiu's inspector.
The prisoners like Wei Jiuduan, who are in charge of the party, also have such clothes, but the sword mark is on the right, because the world is respected by the right, which means that their position is larger than that of the inspector.
The sword logo on the chest of the people who edited the Criminal Department was red, which was somewhat different from other warriors in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall.
However, Wei Jiuduan's level of existence is casual about what to wear. As the most peak-level ruler under Guanzhong Punishment Hall, how many people don't know them in Guanzhong?
Chu Xiu did not ask where the hall of the inspector was, because it was very simple. As the master of Guanzhong, the hall of the inspector must be in the middle of the city.
Sure enough, when Chu Xiu came to the entrance of the inspector's hall, four inspectors from the outer Gang realm were already waiting for him here. Seeing the embroidered sword sign on Chu Xiu's clothes, Wu Siping and the other four bowed to Chu Xiu and said, "I've seen you!"
Chu Xiu jumped off his horse and said, "No need to be too polite. Are you the leader of the martial arts and lakes in the entrance of this inspector's hall?"
Wu Siping was about to answer, but when he felt the aura on Chu Xiu, he was stunned, including Du Guangzhong and others.
