Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Eighth
Although Chu Xiu made a military order on the spot, the position of the chief officer was successfully reached by him. Although it was only temporary, Chu Xiu was confident that he would turn it into permanent.
Yin Botong had a dark face and didn't say anything more. Guan Siyu said nothing, and no one could refute what he decided.
But Yin Botong always felt a little strange.
He was the old man who followed Guan Siyu. When Chu Kuangge was the leader of the hall in the past, he was the leader of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. He was a colleague with Guan Siyu in his early years, and he also understood Guan Siyu's personality.
The Iron-Faced Judge's words are not just for the sake of saying. Guan Siyu was indeed extremely cruel in his early years and would not favor anyone.
But in recent years, Guan Siyu has always made some unexpected decisions. Although it will not damage the interests of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, it is somewhat inconsistent with Guan Siyu's personality. Just like he is like today. Although Guan Siyu's performance is not obvious, he must be biased towards Chu Xiu. Otherwise, Chu Xiu would never have been able to overcome the difficulties so easily, and he was promoted to another level.
However, Yin Botong did not dare to speak much at this time, so he had to leave with a dark face.
After Chu Xiu left the gate, Yuchi also walked out and bowed to Chu Xiu Gong: "Congratulations to Brother Chu, this time, not only is it okay, but he was also promoted to the chief officer of the punishment. In the history of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Brother Chu, you are the youngest chief officer of the punishment."
Chu Xiu asked with a smile on his lips: "Brother Yuchi is envious?"
Yuchi shook his head and said, "If anyone else envies you, I dare not envy you."
Yuchi is a sensible person. Everyone else can only see Chu Xiu sitting in the position of the chief officer at a young age, but no one can see what Chu Xiu paid for this position, so he really fought for it with a life-threatening fight.
Moreover, Chu Xiu still has not yet settled in this position.
The news from the Guanxi Land just now can tell everything. Some people inside are not convinced by Chu Xiu, and there are also the large clans in the Guanxi Land outside who are causing trouble. With internal and external troubles, if Chu Xiu cannot get all of these in a month, let alone the position of the chief officer, even the inspector will not be able to do it. At most, he will be thrown into the Criminal Inspectorate to be an ordinary spy.
Yuchi is cautious by nature, but he doesn't quite agree with Chu Xiu's extremely dangerous approach. If he is not careful, he will lose everything.
He is Guan Siyu's personal disciple. As long as he practices and accumulates qualifications steadily, after he becomes the realm of unity between man and nature, whether he is the leader of the Criminal Office or the chief of the Criminal Officer in the One Land, he will basically be allowed to choose, and he will not have to fight as extreme as Chu Xiu.
After a few greetings with Yuchi, Chu Xiu walked out the door, and Mei Qinglian walked over from a distance. Chu Xiu just bowed to Mei Qinglian and didn't say much.
There are many people in the hall, so it is better to be low-key.
Stepping out of the gate of the main hall, Chu Yuansheng was waiting outside. When he saw Chu Xiu, Chu Yuansheng immediately met him and laughed: "I knew Brother Chu, you will definitely be fine this time. In front of Brother Guan, I will be useful in my words."
Chu Yuansheng didn't think that it was Mei Qinglian's credit for standing on Chu Xiu's side. He thought that he had worked for Guan Siyu yesterday. Although Guan Siyu didn't give him a chance to speak, he secretly stood on Chu Xiu's side.
Chu Xiu did not point it out, but bowed and said, "This time, thanks to Brother Chu's help, I can survive this disaster smoothly."
Chu Yuansheng waved his hand and said, "Do you still need to be so polite between you and me? You happened to be here in Guanzhong, so stay for a few more days before leaving."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "This time I really don't have time to stay in Guanzhong for too long. I just took over as the chief judge, but the Guanxi land is a little restless. If I cannot completely calm these things in one month, I may not only lose the position of the chief judge, but also the position of the inspector will not be able to be kept."
Chu Yuansheng hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, I won't keep Brother Chu, but I believe that with Brother Chu, you can solve these things without a problem."
After saying goodbye to Chu Yuansheng, Chu Xiu returned directly to Guanxi. While Chu Xiu was still on the road, news of Chu Xiu taking over as the chief officer had already been heard from Guanxi.
Chu Xiu's men were naturally celebrating each other. Although they had confidence in Chu Xiu, they were still a little unsure about killing Wei Jiuduan. But now Chu Xiu is not only fine, but he is still in charge of the position of the chief officer. What does this mean? It means that the entire Guanxi land will be their world in the future!
However, Jiang Taoran's expression became extremely ugly after receiving the news.
He simply couldn't understand what the chief and the hall master were thinking. Chu Xiu made such a big mistake, and the Guanxi area was even more messy. As a result, Chu Xiu was still able to become the chief officer. Is this still following the rules?
Although Jiang Taoran was not convinced, he had to put away all the small movements in the secret and start to act in a low-key manner, erase the traces.
On the Zhang family in Yuanzhou, Zhang Wanshan, the ancestor of the Zhang family, sighed and called Zhang Kunze, saying, "Go and tell all the people of the Zhang family and those forces that are in contact with my Zhang family. There is no need to make trouble anymore. The overall situation has been decided. Chu Xiu has become the chief officer. No matter how much we make trouble, Guanzhong Punishment Hall will not replace Chu Xiu, the position of the chief officer, otherwise the appointment of Guanzhong Punishment Hall will be really a joke."
Zhang Kunze was still a little dissatisfied and said, "Old ancestor, can we forget it this time? Once we choose to stay dormant and keep a low profile, then our Zhang family will lose all our face this time!"
Before, the Zhang family had joined forces with so many martial arts forces to jointly write to the General Hall to ask for trouble for Chu Xiu, as if they were bound to pull Chu Xiu down.
As a result, they did not pull Chu Xiu down, but instead made Chu Xiu promoted him. They were low-key at this time. Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving in to Chu Xiu? In the eyes of other martial arts forces, the Zhang family's face was greatly disgraced this time.
Zhang Wanshan sighed and said, "When Chu Xiu was not in charge of the punishment, we were able to compete with him, but now the other party has really become the punishment, so we are the ones who suffer losses when they compete.
Remember, never challenge Guanzhong Punishment Hall in Guanzhong, otherwise we will always suffer."
Even though Zhang Wanshan was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Kunze, he had to nod and do as Zhang Wanshan told him.
After Chu Xiu returned to Jianzhou Prefecture, the Ghost Hand King, Du Guangzhong and others were already waiting at the city gate to welcome Chu Xiu. Seeing Chu Xiu coming, everyone saluted and said, "Congratulations to the Lord for being promoted to the position of the criminal officer!"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I haven't sat firmly in my position yet. I heard that the Guanxi land was a bit messy during this period when I was not here? The master of the hall only gave me one month to settle these messy things in a month, and I was completely firmly in this position.
Time doesn’t wait for anyone, so I will take over the Kansai branch first.”
Wei Jiuduan was dead. Chu Xiu was now the chief officer, so he naturally took over the Guanxi branch. Before, the people under Wei Jiuduan were not prepared to use them, regardless of whether they were Wei Jiuduan's confidant, Chu Xiu was not ready to use them anymore. There were only his people in the Guanxi branch.
After cleaning up, everyone immediately went to the Kansai branch and began to officially take over the entire Kansai area.
Although the warriors under Wei Jiuduan's previous command had some complaints and were dispersed from the warriors directly under the Guanxi branch to other prefectures, they still understood the principle of the emperor and the ministers. In addition, Chu Xiu's reputation was still there, so they dared not say anything more.
After taking a few days to deal with these things, Chu Xiu asked the Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong: "Tell me in detail what happened in the Guanxi Land during this period. Who is behind the scenes?"
The Ghost Hand King said: "There is the leader of the Zhang family in Yuanzhou in the world. Except for the Zhang family in Yuanzhou, other martial arts forces do not have the strength or the courage to challenge you at this time.
However, after you become the chief officer, the Zhang family in Yuanzhou calmed down. It seemed that they were preparing to give in and give in and did not want to be enemies with you."
Chu Xiu sneered when he heard this: "People should be responsible for their own words and deeds. Do you really think that if you are low-key now, you can think that things have not happened? It's so naive and ridiculous!"
Chu Xiu has never been a generous person. He plotted against him once, but he gave in a low-key manner without success, thinking that things could be fooled like this? It's not that simple.
If you talk about swords and fists to those who are hang out in the world, you will always be more effective than politeness.
If someone offends me, stabbing him will always be more effective than compromising and preaching.
Du Guangzhong said on the side: "There are some people spreading the story of you killing Wei Jiuduan in the world, and they also talked about some of the dirty tricks between you and Wei Jiuduan, which was definitely done by their own people in the Guansai Punishment Hall.
I asked someone to check it out. The person who did it was very careful and left no traces. However, using the stupidest elimination method, you can calculate who was secretly making small moves.
Situ Xing and Fang Hua had no courage and no reason to do it. I sent someone to check it out. It must have been not their move. Since that's the case, Jiang Taoran will be the only one left."
A cold light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. To be honest, he didn't expect that it would be Jiang Taoran to take action, because even if Chu Xiu couldn't become the chief officer, it wouldn't be his turn. He did this simply to harm others and not benefit himself.
But Chu Xiu didn't want to know why Jiang Taoran did this. Anyway, for him, these are the people he was preparing to clean up this time.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Go to inform Situ Xing, Fang Hua, Jiang Taoran and Yang Ling all came to the branch of the imperial hall. The new official took office and three fires. It is time to clean up a group of people.
To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the internal affairs, first sort out the internal affairs of Guanxi, and then solve the forces of the Zhang family."
