Chapter 154: Done
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 Chu Xiu chose him as the target of the four people.
The first time, what Chu Xiu 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, Chu Xiu turned this suspicion into a fact, although in fact Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong did not do anything, but in the eyes of others, Du Guangzhong had already taken refuge in Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu 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 Chu Xiu, 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 Chu Xiu, 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.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Wu Siping is the old man of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, he must have friends at the headquarters of the Guanzhong 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 Mansion Inspector Hall, most of the low-level catchers actually have a good sense of Wu Siping, 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!
Chu Xiu 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, Chu Xiu did not use the Heavenly Jedi Soul Destroying Dafa to influence the other party's mind.
One is because he and Du Guangzhong are both in the Outer Gang Realm, and the influence of the Heavenly Jedi Soul Shifting Dafa is limited, and it can only play an auxiliary role.
There is also the fact that external forces are external forces after all, and now that he is using the Heavenly Jedi Soul Destroying Dafa to influence Du Guangzhong, he will definitely be detected by Du Guangzhong in the coming days, and Chu Xiu wants to use this person, so he can't use this method.
Having said that, in fact, according to Chu Xiu's original character, the easiest way is to kill!
Kill those who are disobedient, whether they are royal or domineering, killing is always the most effortless way.
It's just that this is not the Blue Dragon Society, but the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and it's not so easy to kill people casually.
Besides, at the moment, Chu Xiu wants to control part of the power of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and slaughter all the people under him, there are more than ten cities around Jianzhou City, and Chu Xiu can manage it on his own?
So in dealing with this matter, killing is only a means, but not an end.
Du Guangzhong smiled bitterly, Chu Xiu was right, taking refuge in Chu Xiu, this was already his last choice.
Wu Siping and others will definitely break with him completely after receiving the news, and if he doesn't choose to take refuge in Chu Xiu, his fate is estimated to be no better.
So the best choice is to fake the show and take refuge in Chu Xiu.
However, Du Guangzhong still smiled miserably and said: "You can take refuge in Lord Chu, but in the end, I just want to save my life." ”
Chu Xiu 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?"
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, Chu Xiu didn't say anything, he just said lightly: "That's all?"
Du Guangzhong was surprised: "Isn't that enough?" Lord Chu, don't you mind?"
Chu Xiu asked rhetorically, "Why should I mind?"
In Chu Xiu'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 Chu Xiu's attitude, Du Guangzhong suddenly found that he and Wu Siping were wrong.
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 Chu Xiu was recommended to the Guanzhong Torture Hall through the relationship of the 'Guanzhong Hero' Chu Yuansheng, so Du Guangzhong and the others subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu would also be a person like Fang Zhengyuan, and they naturally didn't dare to put their handle in Chu Xiu's hands.
If they had known that Chu Xiu had this attitude, cooperation might have been a good choice.
But then Du Guangzhong secretly shook his head.
If Chu Xiu had the cultivation of the Three Flowers Gathering Peak Realm, then cooperation was possible.
But with Wu Siping's character, after seeing that Chu Xiu only had an outer realm, cooperation was already impossible.
However, at this time, Chu Xiu 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 Guanzhong Torture Hall who do this." ”
"Why?"
Du Guangzhong said: "Because the money sent to us above is too low.
Now the Guanzhong Torture Hall's Yu Lu has not changed for decades, and it was still set by Lord Chu Langge in the past.
But then it was then, and now it is now, when Lord Chu Crazy Song was there, the Guanzhong Torture Hall was not as strong as it is now, for example, at that time, the patrol envoys were all served by martial artists in the Outer Gang Realm, but now it is necessary to start with the Sanhua Gathering Realm, of course, Lord Chu, you are an exception.
The cultivation resources of Yu Lu for decades as a martial artist in the Outer Gang Realm are sufficient, but now it is to be distributed to the masters of the Sanhua Juding and even the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, which is of course not enough.
Therefore, almost all the people in the Guanzhong Torture Hall have low incomes, so some people have the idea of withholding taxes, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the Guanzhong 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 has a too rigid personality, which is not allowed, and that is not allowed, which leads to the strength of our Jianzhou City Tangkou is the weakest one among all the patrol envoys in Kansai. ”
Chu Xiu touched his chin, sure enough, the rumors were just rumors, a force as big as the Guanzhong Torture Hall, it was impossible that there were no contradictions and unspoken rules below.
As for Guan Siyu, a wise and martial artist, why didn't the hall master who led the Guanzhong Torture Hall to the peak raise the salaries of all the martial artists of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, in fact, Chu Xiu could guess it after a little thought, not because of slamming the door, but because this was the rule set by Chu Yange.
Chu Yangge's influence on the Guanzhong Torture Hall was too great, so big that Guan Siyu had to care about his reputation.
Such a trivial matter is absolutely different from outsiders in the eyes of Guanzhong Torture Hall's own people.
In the eyes of the Guanzhong Torture Hall itself, it has not increased 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 all the martial artists in the Guanzhong Torture Hall a raise, it will have some intention of buying people's hearts.
In the past, Chu Juxia was able to lay such a solid foundation and influence for the Guanzhong 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 Song was more picky in the past.
People are terrible, this matter has been delayed, and it has been dragged on until now, maybe until the next generation of hall masters, the Guanzhong Torture Hall will completely erase the traces of Chu Yange.
Of course, these are not things that Chu Xiu needs to worry about, and the inspection envoy should also solve the matter.
When Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong returned to the entrance of the inspection hall, Wu Siping and the three of them were there.
Seeing that Chu Xiu 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. ”
Chu Xiu said lightly: "I'm not 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?
After entering the conference hall, everyone took their seats, and Chu Xiu said, "Du Zhutou, close the door." ”
Du Guangzhong obediently went to close the door, but Wu Siping and the three of them felt that something was wrong.
Wu Siping frowned, stood up and said, "My lord, what does it mean to close the door in broad daylight?"
Chu Xiu 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, such as the things you did after the death of the previous inspector." ”
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 Chu Xiu about this matter!
Chu Xiu pressed his hand and said, "Why are you 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 mistaken Chu Xiu's character from the beginning?
