Chapter 157: Hidden Feelings

Chu Xiu's very inflammatory words did not resonate too much with the martial artists present, except for Du Guangzhong and a few other henchmen, who were more active, the rest of the martial artists were not too interested.

The people who can be on errand in the Guanzhong Torture Hall are all people who have seen the world, and they are not so easy to be instigated, in other words, they are also very realistic.

Those who have the ability to study and climb up, and those who are not able to see only the immediate benefits.

Now that Chu Xiu has just taken office, they haven't seen any benefits, and it is obviously impossible for them to work for their hearts based on these words alone.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn't care, he just continued: "There is one more thing I want to inform you, Wu Siping and his subordinates were killed by this devil when they were chasing the demon murderer 'Yinshan Old Devil' Dugu Fang, who was wanted by me, and his subordinates were also slaughtered by this devil, and they died in the line of duty, and I have already asked them to bury them well."

Over the years, I have worked hard to protect the safety of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, but my life is my own, and I have to be more careful when I carry out tasks in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and some smart people seemed to have already thought about what was going on.

That Yinshan Old Demon 'Dugu Fang' is a master who has stepped into the realm of Sanhua Gathering Peak, and he is indeed capable of slaughtering Wu Siping and others.

But the problem is that Wu Siping doesn't look like the kind of person who will risk his life in order to capture this kind of demonic murderer, and besides, they don't seem to have heard that Wu Siping went out with someone during this time.

When you think about it, it's obvious what the reason for this is.

Everyone's hearts were cold, let's not talk about the ability of this newcomer, but this attack is ruthless enough.

"Okay, let's go here first, let's all disperse, continue to patrol, Wu Siping's territory is in charge of Du Guangzhong, Liu Chengli and Qin Fang. ”

Hearing these words, these catchers said loudly: "Yes!

This time, their momentum was much higher than before.

Wu Siping's subordinates have vacated so many places, so naturally they will continue to be in charge, so that the power under their hands is also greater than before, and they can only be motivated when they see the benefits, right?

After everyone else dispersed, Chu Xiu directly called Du Guangzhong and the others to the study.

After letting the three of them sit down, Chu Xiu asked, "The morale of these fast catchers at the entrance of the Jianzhou Patrol Envoy doesn't seem to be very high?"

Liu Chengli smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, we have a total of six patrol envoys in the Kansai region, but our Jianzhou patrol envoy Tangkou is the weakest one, and the income is also the thinnest one, and of course the people under him have no morale. ”

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it because of the previous generation of inspectors?"

Liu Chengli nodded and said: "It's almost, there are two main reasons, one is that the area where I built the state capital is not large, and the other powerful inspectors are even in charge of the two state capitals by one person."

In addition, the previous generation of inspectors made Lord Fang a little too upright, except for that little bit of money in his hands, the others couldn't even see a little bit of oil and water, but he always let his brothers go out to carry out tasks and capture those murderers and thieves who were not easy to mess with.

Although my duty to close the torture hall is like this, at least I have to do what I can, right?

Every time I make a shot, I lose a lot, and in the end, even if I succeed in catching someone, the reward sent down from above is very small.

Lord Fang is not greedy, all the rewards sent down are handed over to these brothers under him, but that little thing is not enough for a few hundred people. ”

Liu Chengli's tone was full of resentment, blocking people's money like killing their parents, although Fang Zhengyuan, the previous generation of inspectors, was their boss, but it also made the roots of their hatred itch.

Seeing that the other inspectors were eating meat, but they couldn't even drink the soup, of course they weren't happy.

Chu Xiu quite agrees with Liu Chengli's words, people's hearts are different, you want to be a saint, but you don't consider the interests of your subordinates, and if you want them to be saints together, you will naturally not win the hearts of the people.

In the past, when Chu Yangge led the Guanzhong Torture Hall, he relied on his own personality charm, and he took the lead in everything, and the rest were willing to follow.

And Guan Siyu led the Guanzhong Torture Hall by power, even though Guan Siyu was selfless and ruthless, and even gave very few money to these warriors in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, but it was he who evolved the Guanzhong Torture Hall, which could only survive in the cracks, into a military organization that is now recognized by the Three Kingdoms.

And Guan Siyu is not greedy for power, the four major criminal officers under him, as well as many patrol envoys, as well as those leaders and secret agents of the Criminal Division, each of them can control the power is extremely amazing, so they are naturally willing to be loyal to Guan Siyu.

And Chu Xiu, the predecessor Fang Zhengyuan, his personal charm is naturally not as good as Chu Yange, and his ability is not as good as Guan Siyu, but the result is that he wants to learn from these two masterpieces in the world, even though he is worthy of it, but it also makes his subordinates complain.

At this time, Qin Fang suddenly said: "At present, there is actually another reason for the low morale of our Jianzhou Patrol Envoy Tangkou, that is, among these small cities around this Jianzhou Mansion, the prestige of our Patrol Envoy Tangkou is actually not much left, and those local martial arts forces don't take us very seriously."

The reason for this was also that Lord Fang, he himself had to look for death, but now he was okay and played himself to death. ”

Du Guangzhong frowned and said: "Old Qin, don't talk nonsense, how Lord Fang died, it was personally sent down by the Executioner to investigate, the matter has already been determined, it was just an accident." ”

Chu Xiu suddenly became interested at this time, and he said directly to Qin Fang: "Tell me, it doesn't matter, it's all my own people here, is there anything hidden about the death of Fang Zhengyuan, the last generation of inspectors?"

It stands to reason that the Guanzhong Torture Hall is the master of the entire Guanzhong Land, although the Guanzhong Land is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the martial arts are fierce, but even if you are rampant, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, but now Qin Fang said that he Jianzhou Patrol Tangkou has no power in the entire Jianzhou Mansion, which is also very unusual.

And there is no doubt about the death of the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan, he was killed by the other party when he was chasing down a murderer in the Sanhua Gathering Realm, 'Blood Sky Sword' Han Rang.

Of course, this is definitely not like Chu Xiu killing Wu Siping, just secretly giving him a reasonable way to die, Fang Zhengyuan was shot in a small city, and was killed by the other party in front of hundreds of martial artists, there is nothing to doubt, but now listening to Qin Fang say this, is there an inside story?

Qin Fang coughed and said, "Lord Chu, since I have already taken refuge in you, it is not interesting to hide these things from you.

Fang Zhengyuan, the last generation of inspectors, was indeed killed in front of everyone, and there is nothing strange in the eyes of outsiders, but after all, we have all followed Fang Zhengyuan for several years, and we know his strength relatively well.

Lord Fang's strength can definitely be ranked in the forefront among the martial artists of the Sanhua Gathering Peak Realm, and the 'Blood Sky Sword' Han Rang said something unpleasant, just a gutless rat, he only dared to rob and kill some small merchants who came and went to the pass on weekdays, and he didn't dare to move the older ones.

The reason why he was able to become famous was because of the five-turn treasure soldier Blood Sky Sword in his hand, which had the effect of transforming blood qi, and even if the blood qi was enough, the Blood Sky Sword could be promoted and become a six-turn treasure soldier.

In that battle, we saw with our own eyes, at the beginning, Lord Fang suppressed the other party in a few moves, but later on Lord Fang's strength suddenly fell to the extreme, even less than the innate realm, and was finally killed by Han Rang with a sword. ”

Chu Xiu touched his chin and said: "If that's the case, it's not a suspicious point, there are all kinds of strange things on the rivers and lakes, maybe this Han Rang used some means to sneak attack Fang Zhengyuan, so he was killed." ”

Qin Fang shook his head and said: "This matter has been suspicious from the beginning, Han Rang is as timid as a mouse, before Lord Fang pursued him, he happened to rob and kill a group of merchants outside a small city within the scope of Jianzhou Mansion, according to his character, after committing a case, he must immediately flee, but this time he took the initiative to show his head in front of us."

And at that time, when this Han Rang showed his head, we happened to go to a banquet at the Jiang family, and after we broke up unhappily, Han Rang deliberately appeared in front of us as if he had received the news in advance, attracting Lord Fang to attack him, and was finally killed, and the suspicion is here. ”

"Wait, where did this Jiang family come from, why did it have anything to do with Fang Zhengyuan again?" Chu Xiu asked with a frown.

Qin Fangdao: "The Jiang family is one of the great forces in Jianzhou Mansion, and its history is almost the same as when the Guanzhong Torture Hall was established.

Your Excellency, you also know that the land of Guanzhong is the center of trade between the three countries, and there are countless caravans coming and going here, but there are some contraband that are expressly forbidden to trade to prevent them from flowing into the other country.

It's just that although there is an explicit prohibition in the torture hall, there are still some people who refuse to change their ways, the most serious of which is some local martial arts forces in Guanzhong, such as buying some contraband from Beiyan, and then selling them to Eastern Qi or Western Chu, which is simply smuggling.

For this kind of behavior, once the Guanzhong Torture Hall is discovered, it must be strictly investigated, and at the beginning, Lord Fang suspected that the Jiang family was secretly smuggling these prohibited items, so he asked the Fang family, but the Fang family refused to admit it, and we didn't find anything.

When Lord Fang came to the Jiang family for the second time, the people of the Jiang family were ready to bribe Lord Fang, but Lord Fang refused, and turned his face with the people of the Jiang family, saying that he would be brought back to the torture hall for trial, etc., and they broke up on the spot.

You also know what happened later, Lord Chu, Lord Fang was killed, and the investigation of the Jiang family's smuggling was also unresolved, and my Jianzhou Inspector Tangkou was greatly reduced in the martial arts of Jianzhou Mansion, which made people think that my Jianzhou Inspector Tangkou was only thundering loudly and raining little. ”
