The people of the Jiang family politely welcomed Chu Xiu into the main hall, and Jiang Xichen arched his hand to Liu Chengli, who was the first to come in: "Lord Liu, you haven't been here for a while, I don't know what you are doing this time?"

In Jianzhou Mansion, the Jiang family's most familiar head catcher is Liu Chengli, and his Qi City was under the jurisdiction of Liu Chengli before.

Liu Chengli pointed to Chu Xiu behind him and said, "This is Lord Chu Xiu, the new inspector of my Jianzhou Mansion." ”

Jiang Xichen and the others of the Jiang family just wanted to go to see them, but after seeing Chu Xiu's strength, they were all stunned for a moment.

Obviously, they didn't expect that this new patrol envoy would only have a foreign realm.

However, Jiang Xichen didn't show too much surprise, he just smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Chu in person, it was really a sin, Lord Chu was too low-key when he took office, otherwise my Jiang family would definitely personally send a congratulatory gift." ”

Of course, Jiang Xichen's words were just polite, even if Chu Xiu was low-key, the Jianzhou Mansion was so big, and the new inspector took office, could the Jiang family still not know? It's just that they don't have this plan at all.

Chu Xiu waved his hand indifferently and said: "The master of the Jiang family is polite, I am guarding the side of the torture hall, they are all formal things, it doesn't matter if there is or not." ”

Jiang Xichen smiled and said, "Lord Chu doesn't care, but my Jiang family can't be indifferent." I will immediately prepare food and drinks here, and Lord Chu will also invite you to take a seat. ”

Seeing that Chu Xiu's attitude was quite kind, everyone in the Jiang family was also relieved.

They are afraid that the new inspector will be like the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan, who will not eat oil and salt, soft and hard, so they will have a headache.

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat first, in fact, I came here this time to ask the Jiang family to help." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and the other Jiang family members were afraid that Chu Xiu would say something like asking their Jiang family to help investigate the accidental death of the previous inspector.

Jiang Xichen said with an ordinary expression: "Lord Chu has something to say, as long as my Jiang family can help, my Jiang family will definitely not shirk!"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "It's easy to say, in fact, I came this time to find the Jiang family master, and you are here."

The situation in the land of Guanzhong, the Jiang family master, you also know that the warriors and caravans of the three places of Northern Yan, Eastern Qi, and Western Chu, as well as some miscellaneous people, have gathered here, resulting in the entire land of Guanzhong being mixed with dragons and snakes, and it has also attracted many demonic gangsters who want to take advantage of the chaos.

It's not easy for me to protect the safety of this side in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, but I have sacrificed a lot over the years, such as Fang Zhengyuan, the last inspector, and Wu Siping, the head catcher of the rivers and lakes under my command not long ago, these people died in the line of duty to protect Guanzhong. ”

The other Jiang family members were a little nervous when they heard Fang Zhengyuan's three words, but Jiang Xichen's face remained unchanged, because he knew that the newly appointed inspector in front of him was not here for Fang Zhengyuan's matter, otherwise he would not have added Wu Siping.

What is going on with Wu Siping, people from the outside world can see it very clearly, this unruly head of the rivers and lakes used to be cautious in his work, and he would never take risks easily, but as a result, this new inspector died in the line of duty when he first came to Wu Siping, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

It's just that this kind of Wu Siping matter is the same as Fang Zhengyuan's case, there is no evidence, only suspicion is useless, the people do not raise officials and do not investigate, anyway, as long as no one investigates, it is absolutely safe.

Therefore, Jiang Xichen's attention was focused on the word 'Huayuan' that Chu Xiu said, and he couldn't help asking, "What does Lord Chu mean?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "It's very simple, I am guarding the side of the Guanzhong Torture Hall for good health, but the brothers under my command are reluctant to change the sword even if it is broken, I heard that the Jiang family is rich, and even in Qi City, there is such a title as Jiang Bancheng, so I am cheeky and want to ask the Jiang family master to support some." ”

As soon as the people of the Jiang family heard Chu Xiu say this, they all immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be an autumn breeze, and since that's the case, it's much easier to say.

In other places, if the local martial arts forces were beaten by the people of the imperial court like this, then they would naturally be very disgusted and resisted.

But in the land of Guanzhong, ninety percent of the families based in Guanzhong rely on trading with people from the other three countries.

The Guanzhong Torture Hall controls their lifeblood, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Guanzhong Torture Hall, not to mention fighting the autumn wind, the Pure Heart Warm Jade Buddha that the Jiang family gave to Wei Jiuduan even cost one-fifth of the entire Jiang family's property, which can be regarded as a heavy hemorrhage.

Why did Fang Zhengyuan, the previous inspector, die? Not because he was greedy, but because he was not greedy.

Now Chu Xiu took the initiative to reach out and ask them for something, which is a good thing.

Therefore, Jiang Xichen immediately found a subordinate, whispered a few words, turned his head to Chu Xiu and said: "Lord Chu, don't worry, my Jiang family has been in Guanzhong for so many years, and I have also been protected by the Guanzhong Torture Hall for so many years, so I should make some contributions to the Guanzhong Torture Hall." ”

After a while, a subordinate came over with a brocade box, Jiang Xichen put the brocade box in front of Chu Xiu, and said with a smile: "Lord Chu, please smile." ”

Chu Xiu opened the brocade box, which contained a row of finger-sized purple gold bars and two bottles of pills.

Jiang Chenyi stretched out his hand and said: "Two hundred taels of purple gold, two bottles of twenty pills of five-turn pills, small meaning, not respect." ”

Chu Xiu glanced at the contents of the brocade box, picked up a purple gold bar and played with it, looked at Jiang Xia Chen and said lightly: "It's really a little meaning, Jiang family master, don't you treat me Chu Xiu as a food!?"

"Bang!"

Chu Xiu slapped the brocade box and threw it aside, this sudden outburst immediately startled everyone, even Du Guangzhong and the others didn't expect Chu Xiu to turn his face with the Jiang family on the spot.

The faces of the people on the Jiang family's side suddenly showed a trace of anger, Chu Xiu's actions were simply slapping them in the face, such as Jiang Yao's grumpy person was about to have a seizure immediately, but was stopped by Jiang Xichen.

The smile on Jiang Chen's face had already retracted, and he looked at Chu Xiu and said coldly, "Lord Chu, what do you mean by this?"

Chu Xiu said coldly: "What do you mean? Two hundred taels of purple gold and two bottles of five-turn pills are enough to send a martial artist from the Outer Gang Realm, but can you send more than 200 Jianghu people from the entire Jianzhou Patrol Envoy to catch heads and catch fast?"

Jiang Xichen suppressed the anger in his eyes and said, "Then Lord Chu, how much do you want?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "It's not much, one-tenth of your Jiang family's property." ”

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Xichen suddenly laughed angrily and said: "Lord Chu has such a big appetite! Everyone is a lion with a big mouth, your mouth is even more ruthless than the evil dragon, and one mouth will cost one-tenth of my Jiang family's property, why?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Jiang family is rich and rich, and you can give one-fifth of your family property at one time to give a birthday gift to the chief executioner, and now my inspector is not worth one-tenth?"

Everyone in the Jiang family could see that Chu Xiu was simply making trouble.

took out one-fifth of the entire Jiang family's property to make a congratulatory gift to Wei Jiuduan, that was because their Jiang family had the courage to exchange for a shelter.

In fact, it is true, although the Jiang family is still a big force in Jianzhou Mansion, it is very inconspicuous in the entire Kansai region.

But at the beginning, Jiangxi Chenli overrode public opinion and took out one-fifth of his family property to buy a Pure Heart Warm Jade Buddha and gave it to Wei Jiuduan, their Jiang family immediately stood out and became the most brilliant figure in the entire birthday banquet, and Wei Jiuduan was indeed very satisfied with the gift given by the Jiang family.

When others saw Wei Jiuduan's attitude, they knew that Wei Jiuduan had written down the favor of the Jiang family, so they would not provoke the Jiang family when they were idle, which also made the Jiang family smooth sailing in the past few years.

Of course, there are exceptions, for example, Fang Zhengyuan didn't care about Wei Jiuduan's attitude, he had to embarrass them, and it was impossible for the Jiang family to transfer Fang Zhengyuan to other places.

Although Wei Jiuduan wrote down the favor of the Jiang family, it does not mean that what the Jiang family says, Wei Jiuduan will do something, because this is just a favor, not a transaction, Wei Jiuduan will give it if he wants to, Wei Jiuduan does not want to give it, and they can't ask for it.

If the Jiang family directly sent someone to Wei Jiuduan and asked him to transfer Fang Zhengyuan away, then Wei Jiuduan would definitely beat the Jiang family's people out, and thought that the Jiang family did not know how to lift.

When did a small family dare to meddle in the appointment of the inspector?

Therefore, at that time, the Fang family chose to take a dangerous move and get rid of Fang Zhengyuan, as long as they did something hidden and did not leave obvious evidence, when the matter was reported to Wei Jiuduan, Wei Jiuduan would ask people not to investigate the Jiang family, otherwise an inspector would die, and according to the usual practice, it should be strictly investigated.

After this series of events, the money they gave Wei Jiuduan for his birthday gift had already been earned, and this transaction was quite cost-effective.

And look at the Chu Xiu in front of him, although he is an inspector, he is only a newcomer, and the most important thing is that he only has the Outer Gang realm.

What benefits and benefits can an inspector from the Outer Gang Realm bring to them? This is something that the Jiang family could not imagine, so Chu Xiu asked for one-tenth of the Jiang family's property as soon as he came up, and that can only be described in four words, that is, wishful thinking!

At this time, even those elders of the Jiang family, who had always seemed hesitant, wanted to turn their faces, but at this time, Jiang Xichen waved his hand suddenly to stop their next words.

Looking at Chu Xiu, the corners of Jiang Xichen's mouth showed a smile and said, "Lord Chu, what you want is too precious, and you must report to the ancestor before you can make a decision."

Besides, one-tenth of the Jiang family's property is not only in Qi City, some are in the outside world, and it takes time to make it up, I don't know if Lord Chu can give three days of grace, after three days, my Jiang family will definitely give you an answer to Lord Chu. ”

Chu Xiu glanced at Jiang Xichen deeply and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days for the Jiang family master, I hope that after three days, you will make a rational choice." ”
