When Wei Jiuduan said something, it was actually as if he hadn't said it at all.
If anyone breaks the rules in the Ming Dynasty, Guan Siyu will not be able to spare them without him having to say anything.
But who has the final say in the secret rules?
However, now that Chu Xiu had just arrived, it was natural that whatever his superiors said would be whatever he said, so Chu Xiu did not refute at all, and directly held his hands in his hands and said: "I obey your orders."
Seeing Chu Xiu's attitude, Wei Jiuduan nodded with satisfaction. He was afraid that Chu Xiu would not be able to understand his status just because he was recommended by Chu Yuansheng. Now it seems that he is very self-aware.
.
Chu Yuansheng's status in the Guanzhong torture hall is indeed very high, because he is Chu Kuangge's son, and everyone is willing to give him face and give him the courtesy he deserves.
But similarly, if Chu Yuansheng interferes too much with the power of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, a powerful executioner like Wei Jiuduan will be dissatisfied.
Wei Jiuduan said to the other five execution officers: "From now on, Chu Xiu will be your colleague, especially Wei Hanshan and Jiang Taoran. You two are in the same territory as Chu Xiu, and you have to help each other.
one time."
Among the two people, Jiang Taoran was a middle-aged man in his forties who faced Fang Zheng. He had the strength of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. Hearing this, he smiled at Chu Xiu, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chu
, from now on you and I will be colleagues."
Chu Xiu also stood up and returned the favor.
As for Wei Hanshan, he looks much younger. He looks only in his thirties. He also has the strength of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. However, he entered this realm much earlier than Jiang Taoran. In fact, he has already passed the age.
He is forty, but he looks younger.
Facing Chu Xiu, Wei Hanshan seemed much more casual. He just cupped his hands and called "Brother Chu" to save his face.
A Waigang Realm warrior who came in through the back door did not truly treat him as an equal.
Wei Jiuduan coughed and said: "Okay, that's it for today. Let's all go back to our patrol areas. Chu Xiu, after you go to the back hall to collect your clothes and the patrol badge, you can
Go and take office."
Chu Xiu bowed his hands and retreated together with several other inspectors.
The other people had no intention of talking to Chu Xiu. Although there was no conflict of interest between them, it was obvious that Chu Xiu's current background and strength were not qualified for their recognition.
After receiving his clothes and waist tag, Chu Xiu left the Kansai Main Hall directly and headed to Jianzhou City in Jianzhou Prefecture.
The land of Kansai is not as vast and rich as the land of Beiyan, so it is not divided into counties, but is roughly divided into some prefectures. Jianzhou Prefecture under the command of Kansai is one of them. Jianzhou City is the center of Jianzhou Prefecture, and there are many other prefectures around it.
More than a dozen small towns are also under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Prefecture.
At this time, in the meeting hall at the entrance of the inspection envoy's hall, the door was tightly closed, and the four gangsters from Waigang were sitting there, silent.
The four of them are the four most powerful gangsters in Jianzhou Inspector Hall. After the death of the previous inspector, all the gangsters came under their management.
One of them, a man in his forties with a red scar on his face, chuckled and said, "Everyone, please don't say anything. The news has been passed down from the branch hall. The new inspector will take office soon."
, we should discuss what to do, right?"
Opposite him, a 50-year-old gang leader wiped the long knife in his hand and said calmly: "What are we discussing? Since an adult has been sent from above, let's just continue to obey orders. Otherwise, what do you think?
How to do it?
Wu Siping, I know you are ambitious, but do you really think that your superiors will let you be the inspector?
The Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not what it used to be. There are many capable people. Even if Lord Fang Zhengyuan dies, the new inspector will not be able to take your turn as a warrior from the Waigang Realm.
There are countless strong people in the Criminal Investigation Department, and any one of them can be the inspector."
Wu Siping snorted coldly and said: "Du Guangzhong, don't interrupt here! You know that's not what I'm talking about!"
There were no inspectors during this period, so we only paid 60% of all taxes, and the other 40% was shared equally among us.
Although I proposed this matter first, you three have already reached out to take it. Now that the new inspector is here, this matter must not be disclosed. Moreover, we will all pay the next taxes, so let's continue.
Detained?”
Guanzhong Punishment Hall is located between the rivers and lakes and the temple. Although it does not belong to the three countries, it still has various taxes.
In particular, the land of Guanzhong was originally the center of the Three Kingdoms, and transactions were extremely prosperous. This tax revenue was a major contributor to the development of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Normally, this tax revenue is collected by the lowest-level gangsters in various places, and then handed over to the inspectors, who then hand it over to the Xingtang branch, and finally the branch hands it to the main hall, and the main hall will withhold part of it.
The remaining part will be distributed equally to the three countries.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, they, the low-level gangsters and even the inspectors, are not allowed to withhold even a single penny. They must hand everything over to the main hall, which will then distribute salaries, training resources, etc. according to their level.
Although this seems a bit troublesome, it can ensure the fairness and strictness of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Now the four of them dare to secretly withhold tax revenue, which is a big taboo.
Du Guangzhong's hand wiping the long knife suddenly stopped, and he whispered in horror: "Are you crazy? When there is no one to supervise, we can do some small tricks on the books. Now the superiors have sent down an inspection envoy.
How dare you do this, are you tired of living?"
Wu Siping said coldly: "Old Du, you are just too timid. Look at the other inspectors' subordinates. Which one doesn't have some gray income?
That is to say, that stubborn guy Fang Zhengyuan didn't know how to adapt, and we were all in trouble!
I used to have a sworn brother who worked at the torture hall headquarters. Yesterday, he asked someone to send a letter to tell me that the new inspector was not a gangster, but was recommended by Chu Yuansheng, the hero of Guanzhong.
I have never been in Guanzhong torture hall.
We are just an outsider. The four of us join forces and as long as we get things done for the sake of appearance, aren't we allowed to modify the accounts and other things secretly?
Even as long as a few of us cooperate well, it won't be a problem to completely ignore each other!
An outsider came up and became the inspector of our Guanzhong Punishment Hall without even a little bit of experience. Do you really think that our Guanzhong Punishment Hall is so easy to mess around with?"
Du Guangzhong still hesitated slightly: "But..."
"No buts!"
Wu Siping interrupted him directly, turned to the other two people and said, "Qin Fang, Liu Chengli, what do you two think?"
The other two thought for a while and gritted their teeth and said, "Done!"
If the new inspector was an old man from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, they might not dare to play such tricks. However, since the new inspector was an outsider who had never been in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, they would have some confidence.
Wu Siping turned his eyes to Du Guangzhong and sneered: "Old Du, the four of us are one body. If you don't agree to this matter, you will cut off the financial resources of the three of us. You know the consequences. Don't forget that before.
How did Lord Fang die? The Guanzhong Punishment Hall now is no longer the Guanzhong Punishment Hall before!"
Listening to Wu Siping's words with a hint of murderous intent, Du Guangzhong's expression changed slightly.
Du Guangzhong is an old man from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and his father was a gangster in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
When Wu Siping was young, he was a lone thief who committed numerous murders. After being caught by the gangsters of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he was willing to repent and chose to join the Guanzhong Punishment Hall and serve for him.
I don’t know if Du Guangzhong has really repented over the years, but his viciousness has not changed much.
And as Wu Siping said, the current Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not the previous Guanzhong Punishment Hall. As an old man of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he feels it most clearly.
Under the gazes of Wu Siping and the others, Du Guangzhong could only nod his head with difficulty.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a warrior came in and said: "Sir, the new inspector has entered the city."
Wu Siping grinned and said: "Let's go and greet this 'new' adult. You three, please remember and have a better attitude. After all, this adult has a 'backstage'."
After the death of the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan, the power of the entire inspection hall was in the hands of the four of them. As Wu Siping said before, it would be easy for the three of them to sideline the new inspector.
It's just that he doesn't know how to use low-level tactics such as showing off authority. The rules of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall are related to the rules of the Zhongxing Hall. After all, they are inspectors, and they are just arrests in the Jianghu. They can crush people to death at the highest official level. They can save face.
Can't fall down.
In Jianzhou City, Chu Xiu rode a group of maroon horses, wearing a black warrior uniform from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, with a pair of swords embroidered on the left side, just like the swords erected at the entrance of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, which also represented
The identity of Chu Xiu’s inspector.
The executioners like Wei Jiuduan, who are in charge of one side, also have such clothes, but the sword mark is on the right side, because the right side is respected in the world, which means that their positions are higher than those of the inspectors.
The sword symbols on the chests of those in the Criminal Division are red, which is somewhat different from other warriors in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
However, beings of Wei Jiuduan's level are free to wear what they wear. As the most powerful person in Guanzhong Punishment Hall under Guan Siyu, how many people in Guanzhong don't recognize them?
Chu Xiu did not ask where the inspector's hall was, because it was simple. As the ruler of Guanzhong, the inspector's hall must be in the center of the city.
Sure enough, when Chu Xiu arrived at the inspection envoy hall, four inspection envoys from Waigang Realm were already waiting for him. Seeing the sword logo embroidered on Chu Xiu's clothes, Wu Siping and the others faced Chu Xiu.
They all saluted and said, "I have met you, sir!"
Chu Xiu jumped off his horse and said, "There's no need to be polite. Are you all the gangsters in the inspector's hall?"
Wu Siping was about to answer, but when he felt Chu Xiu's aura, he was stunned, as were Du Guangzhong and others.
Waigang? The new inspector is only from the Waigang realm. What kind of joke is this?
