Chu Xiu's explanation of the knife made Du Guangzhong feel very strange. Although he was an old man from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, it was a pity that his father and his grandfather's generation were actually ordinary low-level detectives, and they had never even had a Wai Gang.
, by the time he reaches his generation, he is already the strongest person in his Du family's history.
The strength of warriors of this level in the world can only be considered good. It can be said that they have entered the threshold of martial arts for the first time. Their understanding of some martial arts is very rough. For them, a sword is a sword, and it can also be a sword.
What?
But now after listening to Chu Xiu's words, Du Guangzhong seemed to have understood something, and even pondered for a while.
But then Du Guangzhong realized what he was doing here?
He couldn't help but said to Chu Xiu: "Master Chu, it's been an hour, what exactly do you want to do? You can't just talk swordsmanship with me, right?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can leave."
Chu Xiu's words immediately stunned Du Guangzhong, and then a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
If the Chu Xiu in front of him didn't have the important status of an inspector, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
He found me, sat there for an hour, and then let me go after saying a few words. What was this? Are you kidding him?
Du Guangzhong snorted lightly, turned around and left dissatisfied.
However, the moment Du Guangzhong turned around, Chu Xiu sheathed the sword. The sharpness in his eyes was no less than the shining red sleeve sword he had wiped.
At this time, Wu Siping and the other two people waiting in Wu Siping's room were a little anxious.
Before, they thought that Du Guangzhong was just going to have sex with Chu Xiu, and that he would be out soon.
As a result, it has been an hour. What are the two sides talking about? Even if they are pretending and conceding, it will not take this long.
Wu Siping sent his confidants to check, but it was of no use. Chu Xiu's study door was closed tightly, and he couldn't hear anything at all, which made Wu Siping a little confused.
At this moment, Du Guangzhong also came back, and Wu Siping quickly said: "Old Du, what did Chu Xiu tell you?"
Du Guangzhong subconsciously said: "I didn't say anything."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Wu Siping, Liu Chengli and Qin Fang all became a little strange.
Chu Xiu called him into the study for a secret talk for an hour, but now Du Guangzhong said that Chu Xiu didn't say anything. This was too perfunctory, okay?
Feeling the gazes of the three people, Du Guangzhong said quickly: "I really didn't say anything. That Master Chu just talked to me a few words about sword skills."
As soon as he said this, Wu Siping sneered and said: "I didn't realize it before, but your Lao Du's sword skills are so advanced, so advanced that even the inspectors sent by the superiors personally asked for advice, but
The key is, do you believe this?"
Du Guangzhong felt helpless for a while, and said hurriedly: "Listen to my explanation..."
Wu Siping directly interrupted Du Guangzhong with a wave of his hand: "Old Du, the four of you and I are now both prosperous and prosperous. No matter what Chu Xiu promised you, it is just a empty promise.
Embezzling tax revenue is a serious crime. If no one is exposed, it will be easy to say anything. Once exposed, we will be finished, and Chu Xiu will not be able to protect you either!
Now I give you one last chance. What did Chu Xiu tell you? Or what conditions did he promise you?"
Du Guangzhong looked crazy at this time: "Chu Xiu really didn't tell me anything, and he never promised me anything. How do you want me to explain it?"
Wu Siping sneered and said: "Okay, okay, Du Guangzhong, I look down on you. You decided to surrender to the new master so quickly. Are you preparing to provide charcoal to the cold stove?
Then let’s wait and see who will have the last laugh!”
After the words fell, Wu Siping sneered and turned to leave. Liu Chengli and Qin Fang also looked at Du Guangzhong deeply and left as well.
No matter where they are, traitors are always the most hateful. Obviously, in their eyes, Du Guangzhong is a traitor at this time.
Watching the three people leave, Du Guangzhong's heart suddenly sank. The matter seemed to be a bit complicated, and this misunderstanding could not be explained clearly.
At this time, he suddenly remembered Chu Xiu's previous actions. He called him over inexplicably, but he didn't say a word and only talked to him for a few inexplicable things before letting him leave. Could this be Chu Xiu's intention?
Right?
When he thought of this, Du Guangzhong felt a chill in his heart.
If this is the case, then this Chu Xiu is too scary. Without saying anything or promising anything, some rifts have appeared between the four of them.
Du Guangzhong left in a state of despair. Now he was thinking about what he should do to explain clearly to Wu Siping and the others.
But the crux of the matter is that what he told was the truth. Chu Xiu didn't say anything to him at all. Now if he goes back to tell Wu Siping and the others what Chu Xiu promised him to win over him, will Wu Siping and the others believe it?
Du Guangzhong was confused all night, not knowing how to explain it.
Right now, the four of them are actually grasshoppers on a rope. They have no interest in each other, but they have their own reasons. If they fall out due to such inexplicable reasons, Chu Xiu will be the only one who benefits!
In the early morning of the next day, Du Guangzhong just came out of his residence and met Chu Xiu.
Because of what happened yesterday, Du Guangzhong guessed that he was being plotted by Chu Xiu, so he didn't have a good look towards Chu Xiu, but Chu Xiu went up to say hello: "Du Guangzhong got up early enough, come with me today."
Go to Guanzhong Main Hall."
Du Guangzhong frowned and said, "What are you going there for?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Don't worry about what you are doing, can I still eat you?"
Just when Du Guangzhong was about to find an excuse to refuse, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Don't refuse, don't forget, now that I am the inspector, I want you to put down all your affairs for the time being, isn't that okay?"
Du Guangzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Of course!"
The official level is overwhelming. Even if Chu Xiu, the inspector, has no real power at the moment, several of them are working against Chu Xiuyang and preparing to sideline him, but he is still the inspector after all. If they really fall out, they will be punished in the same way.
.
After hearing Du Guangzhong's promise, Chu Xiu had two fast horses fetched and followed Du Guangzhong to Guanzhong.
After they left, Wu Siping's confidants immediately told him what had happened.
Wu Siping found Liu Chengli and Qin Fang and sneered: "Yesterday, Du Guangzhong just finished talking to Chu Xiu secretly, and today he went to Guanzhong with Chu Xiu. If there is no deal between them, who would believe it?"
Liu Chengli hesitated and said: "I thought about it yesterday. Lao Du should not be an idiot. What are the benefits for him to seek refuge with Chu Xiu? The four of us have control over each other. If he seeks refuge with Chu Xiu, it will be equivalent to putting himself at risk."
The handle was given to Chu Xiu. When the time comes, he will naturally be left to Chu Xiu’s control. Will he do such a thing?
So I feel that there must be some misunderstanding. Today he and Chu Xiu went to Guanzhong on Chu Xiu's order. After all, he is an inspector now, and we cannot refute the matter of face."
Wu Siping snorted coldly and said: "You can tell at a glance whether it is true or not. I have brothers over there in the main hall. I will send a message to them to help me keep an eye on Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong to see what is going on.
Is it a misunderstanding, or Du Guangzhong really betrayed us!"
The land of Guanzhong is so big, if we only rely on sending letters to convey news, the day lilies will be cold by the time something really happens.
Therefore, in the land of Guanzhong, all the major inspection envoys have formations to transmit messages to each other, but the formations are a bit expensive. Except for key messages that are transmitted using formations, other unimportant messages still have to be sent by manpower.
of.
But now that Wu Siping has decided to sideline Chu Xiu, there is no need to worry about the rules and he can use the public tools for private use directly.
At this time, after Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong were on the road, Du Guangzhong held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help but said to Chu Xiu: "Did you do it on purpose yesterday?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Of course it was intentional."
Du Guangzhong was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Xiu to say it so directly without any cover-up.
Now that Chu Xiu had made his words clear, Du Guangzhong stopped being secretive. He snorted directly and said: "Master Chu, do you think you can drive a wedge between us with these little tricks?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "But there has been a rift between you, hasn't it?
I know you are dissatisfied with me. How could I, an outsider, take this position so easily? If it were me, I would be dissatisfied as well.
But the most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. Do you think it’s possible for the four of you, who have your own agenda, to try to sideline me?”
Du Guangzhong sneered and said: "The water in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is deep. The entire Guanzhong area has gathered warriors from all over the world, so naturally the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is the same.
In history, there were inspectors who were ignored by their subordinates, and there were even executioners who were ignored by their subordinates!
There are rules in the Guanzhong torture hall, unlike other places where you can get a high position by just fighting and killing."
Chu Xiu did not argue, he just smiled and said: "Okay, we will wait and see."
There was no conversation all the way. After a few days, Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong came to Guanzhong City. However, after arriving in Guanzhong City, Chu Xiu just casually walked around the execution hall and then took Du Guangzhong to find Chu Yuansheng.
The last time Chu Yuansheng was hunted down, he was in a very embarrassing situation. He had not yet recovered. He had been resting at home during this period. When he saw Chu Xiu coming and someone was drinking with him, Chu Yuansheng was in a good mood.
"Brother, when you come here this time, is something happening over there?"
Chu Xiu gave some of the gifts he bought to his servants and said with a smile: "Nothing happened. Everything went well. It's just that my ability to gain a foothold in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall was all due to the help of my elder brother, so I came here specifically to thank my elder brother today.
By the way, this is my subordinate, Jianghu leader Du Guangzhong, who also respects you very much, brother. I was afraid that I would not be able to find a way out, so I brought him here."
Du Guangzhong, who was next to Chu Xiu, looked excited and bowed his hands to Chu Yuansheng: "Meet the hero Chu!"
