Chapter 130: Radical Radicalization
Among the four Jianghu catchers, Du Guangzhong is the oldest, but in fact, he is really the most upright person, far less ambitious than Wu Siping, Liu Chengli and Qin Fang, so Qin Shuai chose him as the target of dividing the four.
The first time, what Qin Shuai did was just to make them turn their faces and quarrel, but they didn't break up, just like Liu Chengli and Qin Fang, they just suspected Du Guangzhong.
But this time, Qin Shuai turned this suspicion into a fact, although in fact Qin Shuai and Du Guangzhong did not do anything, but in the eyes of other outsiders, Du Guangzhong had already taken refuge in Qin Shuai, and Qin Shuai had already taken out his own remuneration, and when Du Guangzhong returned to Jianzhou City to inspect the embassy again, what was waiting for him would inevitably be to break with Wu Siping and others.
Du Guangzhong pointed at Qin Shuai, trembling angrily and speechless.
After so many years of being the head catcher of the rivers and lakes, Du Guangzhong has arrested countless murderers and thieves, and his methods are innumerable, but none of them are as insidious as Qin Shuai, who easily plays with people's hearts.
Of course, at this time, even if Du Guangzhong complained that he had fallen two heels in the same place, it was useless, and everything had already happened.
Qin Shuai said lightly: "Wu Siping is the old man of the Red Devil Domain Torture Hall, he must have friends at the headquarters of the Red Devil Domain City Torture Hall, this matter can't be hidden from others, maybe Wu Siping has already received the news at this time, and he is thinking about how to deal with you." I don't know Wu Siping, you should know him for so many years of working with him, how do you think he will deal with you?"
Du Guangzhong's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
It is precisely because he has worked with Wu Siping for so many years that he knows what kind of person Wu Siping is.
In the Jianzhou City Patrol Envoy's Entrance, most of the low-level catchers are actually good to Wu Siping's senses, although this person is a little more righteous in the rivers and lakes, but he is generous and bold, and he is very loved by his subordinates. It's just that these are all appearances, Wu Siping is still the ruthless and crazy Jiang Yang thief in his bones!
Qin Shuai said in a low voice: "So, since Wu Siping and the others think that you have already taken refuge in me, then you might as well really take refuge in me." It's not an inducement or a threat, it's that you have no other choice now!"
When facing Du Guangzhong, Qin Shuai did not use the Soul Transfer Dafa to affect the other party's mind.
One is because he and Du Guangzhong are both people in the Red Devil Domain, so they can't use it, so it's not easy to get along in the future. There is also the fact that external forces are external forces after all, and now that he uses the Soul Transfer Dafa to influence Du Guangzhong, he will definitely be detected by Du Guangzhong in the coming days, Qin Shuai wants to use this person for a long time, then he can't use this kind of means, he can do it to the enemy, and for his own people, the means are indeed a bit inferior.
Having said that, in fact, according to Qin Shuai's original character, the easiest way is to kill! Kill the disobedient, whether it is a royal or a domineering, killing is always the most labor-saving way. It's just that this is not the Blue Dragon Society, but the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall, and it's not so easy to kill people casually.
Besides, right now, Qin Shuai wants to control part of the power of the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall, and slaughter all the people under him, there are more than ten cities around Jianzhou City, can Qin Shuai manage it on his own?
So in dealing with this matter, killing is only a means, but it is not the ultimate goal.
Du Guangzhong smiled bitterly twice, Qin Shuai was right, taking refuge in Qin Shuai, this was already his last choice. Wu Siping and the others will definitely break with him completely after receiving the news, and if he doesn't choose to join Qin Shuai, his fate is estimated to be no better.
So the best choice is to do the fake show and take refuge in Qin Shuai.
However, Du Guangzhong still smiled miserably and said: "You can take refuge in Lord Qin, but in the end, I just want to save my life." ”
Qin Shuai was surprised: "Since you have taken refuge in me, I will naturally protect you, don't you still believe this?"
Du Guangzhong smiled bitterly: "What I did with Wu Siping and others is too big, I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept it." ”
"Oh, what did you do?" Qin Shuai asked curiously.
Du Guangzhong seemed to be out of the way, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since the death of the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan, the tax that should have been handed over to the torture hall, the four of us joined forces to intercept forty percent, and tampered with the accounts after dividing them equally, and the previous account books have been burned!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Shuai didn't say anything, he just said lightly: "That's all?"
Du Guangzhong was surprised: "Isn't that enough, Lord Qin, don't you mind?"
Qin Shuai asked rhetorically, "Why should I mind?"
In Qin Shuai's opinion, this kind of thing couldn't be more normal.
Isn't it normal that the previous boss is dead, and the new boss hasn't come yet, so it's time to take advantage of this time to make some gains?
Seeing Qin Shuai's attitude, Du Guangzhong had a feeling of trance, and suddenly found that he and Wu Siping were wrong, and it was outrageous.
The previous generation of inspectors made Fang Zhengyuan upright, and even a little dead-eyed, so when Fang Zhengyuan was in power, they didn't dare to engage in these small actions.
And Qin Shuai was recommended to the torture hall through Chu Yuansheng's relationship, so Du Guangzhong and the others subconsciously thought that Qin Shuai would also be a person like Fang Zhengyuan, and they naturally didn't dare to put their handle in Qin Shuai's hands.
If they had known that Qin Shuai had this attitude, cooperation might have been a good choice. But then Du Guangzhong secretly shook his head.
But with Wu Siping's character, after seeing that Qin Shuai came in through a relationship, there was almost no experience to speak of, and cooperation was already impossible.
However, at this time, Qin Shuai was interested, and he asked: "Is it a big crime to withhold taxes?"
Du Guangzhong smiled bitterly: "It should be said that it is a capital crime, but there are still people in the torture hall who do this." ”
"Why?" Qin Shuai said in surprise.
Du Guangzhong said: "Because the money sent to us above is too low. Now the punishment hall has not changed for decades, and it was still set by Lord Chu Yangge in the past. But it was then, and now it is now, when Lord Chu Yange was there, the torture hall was not as strong as it is now, for example, at that time, the patrol envoys were all from the Demon Emperor Realm, and now they are all at least the Demon Venerable Realm. These are given to the powerhouses of the Demon Venerable Realm, which of course is not enough. Therefore, almost all the people in the torture hall of the Red Devil Domain are on the low side, so some people have the idea of withholding taxes, which is also an unspoken rule in the torture hall, but no one dares to poke it out. There are also some inspectors who have some other sources of income themselves, and they will definitely not be hungry anyway. Only the original Lord Fang of our hall is too stiff, which is not allowed, and that is not allowed, which leads to the strength of our Jianzhou City Tangkou is the weakest of all the patrol envoys in the western region. ”
Qin Shuai touched his chin, sure enough, the rumors were just rumors, such a big force as the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall, it was impossible that there were no contradictions and unspoken rules below.
As for why Guan Siyu, a wise and martial artist, who led the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall to the peak, didn't raise the salaries of all the torture hall people, in fact, Qin Shuai could guess it with a little thought, not because of slamming the door, but because this was the rule set by Chu Yange. Chu Madge's influence on the torture hall was too great, so big that Guan Siyu had to care about his reputation. Such a trivial matter is absolutely different from that of outsiders in the eyes of the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall's own people.
In the eyes of the torture hall itself, there has been no increase in the number of people in the prison hall for decades, and it should be a good thing that it has increased now, and almost no one will oppose it.
But in the eyes of outsiders, if Guan Siyu gives everyone in the torture hall a raise, it will have some meaning of buying people's hearts. In the past, Chu Juxia was able to lay such a solid foundation and influence for the torture hall by relying on his personal charm, but as a result, you Guan Siyu would only rely on wealth to win people's hearts, and this also gave people a feeling that Guan Siyu hinted that Chu Crazy Ge was more picky in the past. People are terrible, this matter has been delayed, and it has been dragged on until now, maybe it will be delayed until the next generation of hall masters, so that the traces of Chu Yangge can be completely erased.
Of course, these are not things that Qin Shuai needs to worry about, and the patrol envoy should also solve the matter.
When Qin Shuai and Du Guangzhong returned to the entrance of the inspection hall, Wu Siping and the three of them were there.
Seeing that Qin Shuai and Du Guangzhong were back, Wu Siping's face didn't show the slightest murderous intent, he just smiled and said, "My lord is back?" Lao Du has been gone for so long, and his subordinates have accumulated a lot of things to deal with. ”
Qin Shuai said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to deal with things, it just so happens that I also have some things to tell you, so come to the council hall with me." ”
Wu Siping secretly glanced at Du Guangzhong, who was expressionless, and sneered in his heart, didn't this newcomer think that he could take advantage of them if he got Du Guangzhong's refuge?
It's a real thing!
After entering the conference hall, everyone took their seats, and Qin Shuai said casually: "Du Zhutou, close the door first." ”
Du Guangzhong obediently went to close the door, but Wu Siping and the three of them felt that something was not quite right.
Wu Siping frowned, stood up and said, "Lord Qin, what does it mean to close the door in broad daylight?"
Qin Shuai played with the hilt of the red sleeve knife in his hand, and said lightly: "Of course, I am going to say something that cannot be known to outsiders, for example, those things that you did after the death of the previous inspector, don't think that you will hide it from the world." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Siping and the three of them looked at Du Guangzhong together, with a piercing murderous intent in their eyes.
This traitor, he actually told Qin Shuai about this matter!
Qin Shuai pressed his hand and said, "Why are you all so excited? I didn't say that I wanted to poke this matter up?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Siping and others were also stunned, could it be that they had miscalculated Qin Shuai's character from the beginning?
