PS: This chapter is for the villain's alliance leader poonlo's reward to make up for it.

The four words of residual value made Wei Jiuduan feel unusually harsh.

The main powerhouses of the Guanzhong Torture Hall are the leaders of the four major criminal officers and the Anti-Criminal Division.

Among them, the main requirement of the leader of the Criminal Division is that his own strength is strong enough, and the chief criminal officer requires his own ability and means to be strong enough, otherwise he will not be able to suppress so many patrol envoys and martial arts sects under his command.

Wei Jiuduan's ability to sit in the position of the chief criminal officer is certainly related to his ability, but the more reason is his qualifications.

Wei Jiuduan has been in the Guanzhong Torture Hall for hundreds of years, and his qualifications are even longer than Guan Siyu.

This kind of seniority means that as long as Wei Jiuduan doesn't make a big mistake, he will be more stable in this position than anyone else, but it also means that he is about to retire.

Guanzhong Torture Hall is not a place to retire, some of the warriors in the family are old, but because of the bloodline, even if they can't make a move, they will be called ancestors and admired by future generations.

And the sect also has a lot of respect for these old warriors, and they generally give each other the position of the elder and the status of respect.

Only the Guanzhong Torture Hall is different, the warriors of the Guanzhong Torture Hall are not allowed to interfere in the power of the Guanzhong Torture Hall after they retire in old age, and even their subordinates will dissociate themselves from the other party and be loyal to the new boss, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier.

This is the rule of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, which can always keep the power in the hands of a small number of people, and it will not be like those big sect families, there are always some old people who are there to point fingers and affect the right of the head of the family or the head of the family to speak.

Wei Jiuduan's age is already very old, and it is estimated that he will retire in a few years, and it will be the turn of the new criminal officer to take the position.

Therefore, in the last few years of his tenure as the chief executioner, Wei Jiuduan's appearance was so ugly, and he even reached the point of greed, and he didn't care about the law and discipline of the Guanzhong Torture Hall at all, he was also thinking about his future after retirement.

But while he was ready to step down from power after retirement, he couldn't allow outsiders to talk about it.

Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes and asked Chu Xiu coldly, "Is that really what the people of the Jiang family said?"

Chu Xiu said with a righteous look on his face: "Of course I said so, if Lord Wei doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, the Jiang family has used Lord Wei's name and fox to fake the tiger power during this time, and made all kinds of outrageous moves." ”

The people of the Jiang family are not idiots, of course, it is impossible to say these things in public, but in fact, the Jiang family has been doing this all along.

After all, the Jiang family spent such a big price to get on Wei Jiuduan's line, God knows how long Wei Jiuduan can sit in the position of the criminal officer, of course they have to make the best use of everything, and try to get more benefits when Wei Jiuduan is still the criminal officer.

As long as Wei Jiuduan sent someone to inquire, it would be easy to inquire about these things.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether the people of the Jiang family have said these words or not, anyway, the descendants of the Jiang family are already dead, and their previous actions can represent everything.

And at this time, Chu Xiu took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Wei, there is still a sentence among my subordinates, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes and said, "What words?"

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family dares to say such things, not only because those people in the Jiang family are forgetting their righteousness, but also because they see that Lord Wei is about to retire, step down as the chief criminal officer, and have no power in their hands, so their fear of you has dropped a lot.

Lord Wei, you will definitely have to cultivate in the land of Kansai after you step down as the chief criminal officer, and now among the several patrol envoys under your command, Lord Wei, with all due respect, they will only intrigue, and I am afraid that after you step down, Lord Wei, people will go away. ”

Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Wei Jiuduan's face was a little unsightly, because Chu Xiu's words were exactly what he was thinking.

Wei Jiuduan's personality is originally very greedy, including his own people, so he controls the land of Guanxi by relying on his qualifications and some scheming methods, and he really has no henchmen who are willing to pay the price to cultivate.

It's just that although he doesn't have a reliable henchman, he can manage the people in Kansai in an orderly manner with his strength and qualifications.

As a result, it was only now that he was about to step down from the position of the chief of the penalty, and he realized that he didn't even have a reliable person.

He could hear the meaning of Chu Xiu's words, it was nothing more than an alternative show of loyalty.

It's just that Wei Jiuduan still looked at Chu Xiu with his eyes, and said lightly: "You mean that you can become my confidant?, but your backer is Chu Yuansheng, why did you bother to join me, an old man who is about to retire?"

Besides, you're not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the others are intriguing, so you won't be like them?"

Chu Xiu lowered his head, looked at the ground with his eyes, and said: "After all, Chu Daxia is not a person from the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and he can't interfere in the specific affairs of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, the county official might as well be in charge now, I only know that my boss is you, Lord Wei, instead of currying favor with Chu Daxia, it is better to be loyal to you, Lord Wei." ”

Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes, subconsciously played with the dragon pattern iron gall in his hand, and said lightly: "But the crux of the matter is why can I trust your allegiance?"

Chu Xiu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The other patrol envoys have a foundation in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and they are probably all waiting for Lord Wei to retire at this time, they have a good chance to ascend to the throne, or come to hug the thigh of the new criminal officer."

In the entire Kansai Branch, only I, Chu Xiu, do not have the slightest foundation, and I must rely on the support of Lord Wei to be able to gain a foothold in this Kansai land, without you, Lord Wei, I am nothing, even if you have retired, I also need Lord Wei's connections and prestige in the land of Kansai.

So you don't have to worry about whether I'm loyal to you or not, as long as I have disobedience, then Lord Wei, you can take everything from me at any time. ”

Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu in surprise, he had been in the Guanzhong Torture Hall for so many years, he had seen Wei Jiuduan who was stammering with him, and Wei Jiuduan who was afraid of him or showed loyalty to him.

The only thing he hadn't seen was Chu Xiu, who was loyal to others and directly sent his own interests and stakes into his own hands.

It's just that this feeling is very good, just like what Chu Xiu said, he doesn't have the slightest foundation in the land of Kansai, just like today's matter, he can deal with him by himself, or if he doesn't deal with him, it all depends on his mood and attitude.

Now the other patrol envoys are all full-fledged, and each has their own foundation, which is no longer something that he, an old man who is about to retire, can handle at will, so as long as he accepts Chu Xiu's allegiance, then he is equivalent to getting an inspector who is completely under his control.

Wei Jiuduan put his dragon pattern iron gall on the table, and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple for you to want to be loyal to me, and it's easy for me to accept your allegiance, but the key question is what can I get from you, and what can you get from me?"

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What the subordinates want is only the trust of the adults, just like this time, within the rules, as long as the adults help the subordinates carry it down, the subordinates will definitely bring more benefits to the adults in the future, and half of the Jiang family's property is just a beginning." ”

Wei Jiuduan glanced at Chu Xiu deeply, and was silent for a long time, before finally saying, "I hope my choice is not wrong, and you better not let me down." ”

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will never let you down. ”

Chu Xiu lowered his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Wei Jiuduan would definitely agree in the end, because compared to the fact that he needed Wei Jiuduan, the current Wei Jiuduan actually needed him more.

For a criminal officer who is about to retire and is about to lose some power, Wei Jiuduan has now given up all the rules of the torture hall, and as long as it can bring him benefits, he will greedily swallow it.

Now Chu Xiu can bring him benefits, so he can't refuse, and he won't refuse.

At this time, outside the conference hall, Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious, God knows what Chu Xiu said to Wei Jiuduan, why the two of them haven't come out for so long.

At this moment, Wei Jiuduan and Chu Xiu re-entered the conference hall, Chu Xiu's face did not have the slightest expression, but Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious.

The more calm Chu Xiu was, the more he indicated that this matter would not develop in the direction he expected.

Sure enough, Wei Jiuduan directly said to everyone: "I have already asked about Chu Xiu, the Jiang family secretly smuggled contraband, violated the rules of my Guanzhong Torture Hall, and also committed evil outside under my banner, it should be killed!"

Chu Xiu, a newly appointed inspector, was able to dig out the tumor of the Jiang family, and this matter should not only not be punished, but should be rewarded. ”

As soon as he heard this, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed, what did Chu Xiu say to Wei Jiuduan, and he could make Wei Jiuduan stand on his side with a clear banner.

Wei Hanshan stood up directly, and said with a look of disbelief: "My lord, this Chu Xiu doesn't follow the rules, it's almost to the point of blatantness, isn't this a problem?"

Wei Jiuduan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Wei Hanshan coldly and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

As soon as he heard this, Wei Hanshan had to sit back aggrievedly, and said in a muffled voice: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

His relationship with Wei Hanshan in the land of Guanxi can be said to be deep-rooted, in addition to the Guanzhong Torture Hall, he even has a relationship in the Guanzhong Martial Arts.

It's just that no matter how hard his relationship is, Wei Jiuduan is also the criminal officer in charge of Guanxi, and he controls the existence of one party's power, he is right, even if one thing is wrong, it is right.

At least before Wei Jiuduan officially retired and stepped down from power, Wei Hanshan didn't dare to go to Wei Jiuduan in person.
