Chapter 165 Questioning
After Wei Hanshan left, Jiang Taoran smiled bitterly at Chu Xiu and shook his head and said, "Brother Chu, what you have made trouble this time seems to be a bit big. Generally speaking, the dispute between the inspectors will not be reported to Lord Wei. However, this time you seem to be annoying Wei Hanshan, and you actually broke the matter to Lord Wei."
What Chu Xiu did had almost no impact on him. Every inspector had his own means of making money. Jiang Taoran was a slippery person and was more concealed in his work.
On the surface, he was naturally receiving bribes from the martial arts forces in Xiazhou Prefecture, but in fact he secretly supported a small family, specializing in smuggling business, and the property he obtained belonged to him, so what the other sect families thought had nothing to do with him.
He appeared here just to come to take advantage of the troubled waters. If Chu Xiu could be taken away from Wei Hanshan, he would also be interested in Jianzhou Prefecture.
On the contrary, if Chu Xiu made Wei Hanshan look down upon him, he would be in a good mood, because his relationship with Wei Hanshan was not good. Some of Shangzhou Prefecture bordered his Linzhou Prefecture, and there were many conflicts between the two sides.
Looking at Jiang Taoran, Chu Xiu said lightly: "I will explain to Lord Wei. What can Wei Hanshan do if he is dissatisfied? As the inspector, can he eat me?"
Jiang Taoran showed an inexplicable smile on his face and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see what you do if you respond."
After saying that, Jiang Taoran also left directly.
Outside the meeting hall, Du Guangzhong and others walked out and said with a sad face: "Sir, if Wei Hanshan causes this matter to Lord Wei Jiuduan, this will be a big trouble."
The reason why the inspector is called the inspector is itself a means that this position has the power to inspect the party.
But you are just an inspector, not a manager. Chu Xiu did such a big thing behind his back, and it is hard to guarantee that Wei Jiuduan would not get angry.
Chu Xiu asked, "Do you still remember that I asked you to half of the things that destroyed the Jiang family?"
Du Guangzhong was stunned and said, "Yes, but shouldn't those who were handed over to the Guanzhong Punishment Hall?"
Chu Xiu's face showed a trace of unknown intention and said, "That was intended to be handed over to Lord Wei. In this Guanxi land, Lord Wei represents the Guanzhong Punishment Hall."
Du Guangzhong nodded thoughtfully, as they seemed to have guessed something.
…………………………………
Wei Hanshan's words were not to scare Chu Xiu. He lost face from Chu Xiu, and with his own strength, he could not suppress Chu Xiu. Of course, he had to steal the matter to Wei Jiuduan.
Although this kind of behavior feels like complaining, it is also the most effective.
Although Chu Xiu was recommended to Guanzhong Punishment Hall by Chu Yuansheng, if he can't sit steadily in the position of this inspector, don't blame Wei Jiuduan for not giving Chu Yuansheng face.
Three days later, the Kansai Punishment Hall branch directly sent someone to find Chu Xiu to discuss matters, but in fact he must be asked about the Jiang family's destruction.
When Chu Xiu came to the meeting hall of the Guanxi Punishment Hall branch, except for Wei Jiuduan, the other five inspectors were also there.
Except for Wei Hanshan looking at Chu Xiu with a malicious look, the others also looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look.
He destroyed a local clan as soon as he took office. This kind of thing is something that no one like them who have been inspectors for more than ten years dared to do. Chu Xiu is too bold in his actions, right?
Wei Jiu sat on the main seat. Although he was old, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Even he himself did not expect that Chu Xiu, the inspector who relied on Chu Yuansheng, recommended to enter the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, was so bold that he destroyed a strong family as soon as he took over as the inspector.
In fact, Guanzhong Punishment Hall has done a lot of things to destroy the family, especially after Guan Siyu took over Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
When Chu Kuangge was in charge of Guanzhong's Punishment Hall in the past, Guanzhong Punishment Hall relied on Chu Kuangge's personal charm. In Guanzhong, people in the Punishment Hall and those aristocratic sects, they were obedient to Chu Kuangge. Even if someone had some small plots in his heart, they would not dare to show their faces.
When Guan Siyu took charge of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he relied on severe punishments. Anyone who violated the laws and regulations of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall would not be spared, even his personal disciples. Therefore, at that moment, if anyone in Guanzhong did not serve the laws and regulations of the prison hall, he would destroy his family and not show any mercy.
Of course that was only thirty years ago, when Guan Siyu had just taken over the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Now the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is stable, and the inspectors and prisoners in various places are in power and have a tacit understanding with the local martial arts forces. This kind of thing has not happened for a while.
What really made Wei Jiuduan angry when Chu Xiu did such a thing was that the Jiang family had some relationship with him.
On his birthday, the Jiang family once gave him a precious pure heart and warm jade Buddha, but Wei Jiuduan remembered this.
As a result, it took only how long before the Jiang family was destroyed by their own subordinates. This was simply slapping him in the face. What did the people in other places in Guanxi think of him Wei Jiuduan?
Looking directly at Chu Xiu, Wei Jiuduan said coldly: "Chu Xiu, I need an explanation for this matter! Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"
In an instant, a solemn pressure rushed towards Chu Xiu, almost making him feel breathless.
In fact, when it comes to strength, the old Wei Jiuduan is naturally not a match for the Lord of the Heavenly Sin, but when it comes to the power in his hand, the Lord of the Heavenly Sin is far inferior to Wei Jiuduan.
The leader of Tianshu was just a lone killer when he was at the headquarters of the Qinglong Society. Although he was in charge of Tianshu's branch in the later stage, he only had more than a hundred people under him, and he was not even as many as Chu Xiu's subordinates now.
However, Wei Jiuduan was in charge of the power of Guanxi for decades, and his qualifications were even deeper than the hall master Guan Siyu. He had thousands of heads and constables under him, all of whom were elites in the martial arts world. With such power, Wei Jiuduan, who had been in a high position for many years, could naturally develop a strong momentum that was stronger than the helm leader of the Tianshou.
Under the pressure of Wei Jiuduan, Chu Xiu stood up and bowed: "Sir, the Jiang family smuggled contraband, ignored the laws and regulations of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, and punished the crimes and responsibilities. All of this is done according to the rules!"
Before Wei Jiuduan could speak, Wei Hanshan sneered: "Rules, are the so-called evidences are rules? Chu Xiu, are you treating us all as idiots?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Don't I treat you as an idiot?" Lord Wei asked here, how could you speak here? Or do you think your status is already high enough to compete with Lord Wei?"
Wei Hanshan was choked by Chu Xiu's words, and felt Wei Jiuduan's gaze, so he had to snort coldly and stop talking.
Chu Xiu bowed to Wei Jiuduan and said, "Sir, there is a reason for destroying the Jiang family, but the reason involves some secrets. I want to report to you alone."
When Wei Hanshan heard this, he frowned. He was not in front of him. God knew that Chu Xiu would say something sophistry.
However, Wei Jiuduan was already very dissatisfied with him just now, and Wei Hanshan didn't dare to say anything more.
He looked at Chu Xiu deeply, and Wei Jiuduan said lightly: "Come in with me."
When he arrived at a study room, Wei Jiuduan said coldly: "Tell me, but I will remind you, let me talk about it after I have thought about it!
Don’t think I’m too confused. This place in Guanzhong is no longer in my control. I know exactly what you did at the Jiang family.”
Chu Xiu bowed directly and said, "Sir, I really have no evidence to destroy the Jiang family. I also know some secret rules of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. This time, I have plundered all the assets and resources of the Jiang family. I will dedicate half of them to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Jiuduan was stunned.
He guessed that Chu Xiu would make a clever defense, but he never guessed that Chu Xiu would say such a thing.
Wei Jiuduan narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you bribing me? I didn't expect that the person Chu Daxia recommended him to enter the Guanzhong Punishment Hall would be such a person."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Although I was recommended by the Great Hero of Chu to the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, I am not the kind of person who cannot recognize the reality. The previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan was the lesson of the past.
It’s okay to be upright and selfless, but the premise is to have enough strength. My strength is not enough, so this is not suitable for me.”
Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu, and to be honest, he was really surprised.
He thought Chu Xiu could be recommended to Guanzhong Punishment Hall by Chu Yuansheng, so he must be the kind of character Fang Zhengyuan. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu could see it very clearly.
However, Wei Jiuduan still said coldly: "Half of the Jiang family's property wants to fool this matter, you are afraid that you are too simple to think about it!
I might as well tell you that the people in the Jiang family are very tactful and I am very satisfied, but you took the initiative to destroy the Jiang family without authorization. Have you ever taken me seriously?
If I don’t deal with you this time, how should the martial arts forces in Guanxi see me? Guanzhong Punishment Hall must follow the rules. The rules are like this in the open and the rules are like this in secret."
Chu Xiu sneered in his heart. His immediate boss's appetite was really big, and half of the Jiang family's industries could not fill his appetite.
However, Wei Jiuduan is in line with Chu Xiu's previous speculation. This elderly judge, who is probably completely abandoned his duty as a prisoner of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and only considers his own interests.
However, this is a good thing for Chu Xiu. If Wei Jiuduan was really fair and strict and upright, Chu Xiu would not dare to do things so drastically.
Chu Xiu bowed to Wei Jiuduan and said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Wei, rules are rules. I moved the Jiang family this time not only because the Jiang family disrespects me, but also because the Jiang family is secretly damaging your reputation.
The Jiang family gave you Lord Wei, a pure and warm jade Buddha, but in the end, the Jiang family secretly used this little fox and tiger power to act recklessly in Jianzhou Prefecture, all under the name of Lord Wei.
Even the Jiang family once said secretly that all the money has been spent, of course they should maximize your surplus value, Lord Wei!"
