ps: This chapter is for the reward of the villain leader Poonlo.
The words "residual value" made Wei Jiuduan feel extremely harsh.
The main powerful people in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall are the four chief executioners and the leaders of the Punishment Division.
Among them, the main requirement of the leader of the Criminal Division is that he is strong enough, while the execution officer requires that his abilities and means are strong enough, otherwise he will not be able to suppress so many inspectors and martial arts sects under his command.
Wei Jiuduan's ability to sit in the position of the executioner 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 seniority is even longer than Guan Siyu.
This kind of qualification means that as long as Wei Jiuduan doesn't make a big mistake, his position will be more secure than anyone else, but it also means that he is about to retire.
Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not a place for old age. Some warriors in the aristocratic families are old, but because of their bloodline, even if they can no longer take action, they will still be called ancestors and be respected by future generations.
The sect also respects these old warriors very much, and usually gives them the position of Supreme Elder, and their status is respected.
Only the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is different. After the warriors of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall retire, they are no longer allowed to interfere with the power of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. Even their subordinates will sever ties with each other and be loyal to the new boss. It is said that once the emperor, one courtier.
That's it.
This is the rule of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, which can keep the power in the hands of a small number of people. It will not be like those big sects and aristocratic families, where there are always some old people gesticulating and affecting the voice of the family head or head.
Wei Jiuduan is already very old, and he is expected to retire in a few years, and then it will be the new executioner's turn.
Therefore, in the last few years when he served as the executioner, Wei Jiuduan's eating habits were so ugly, and he even reached the point of greed. He didn't care about the laws and disciplines of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. He was doing this for his own future after retirement.
Thinking about the future.
However, although he is ready to step down from power after retirement, he does not allow outsiders to discuss these matters.
Wei Jiuduan narrowed his eyes and asked Chu Xiu coldly: "Is this really what the Jiang family said?"
Chu Xiu said with a righteous expression on his face: "Of course that's what you said. If Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. The Jiang family has been using your name, Mr. Wei, to pretend to be powerful and do all kinds of things."
Such an outrageous behavior."
People in the Jiang family are not idiots, and of course they cannot say these things in public, but in fact the Jiang family has always done this.
After all, the Jiang family spent so much money to join Wei Jiuduan's line. God knows how long Wei Jiuduan can sit in the position of the executioner. Of course, they have to make the best use of everything. Wei Jiuduan is still the executioner.
time, try to get as much benefit as possible.
As long as Wei Jiuduan sends people to inquire, he can easily find out these things.
At that time, it no longer matters whether the Jiang family members said these words. Anyway, the direct descendants of the Jiang family are dead, and their previous actions can represent everything.
And at this time, Chu Xiu took another step forward and whispered: "Master Wei, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Wei Jiuduan narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family dared to say such things, not only because those in the Jiang family were greedy for profit, but also because they saw that Mr. Wei, you are about to retire and step down as the executioner, and you have no power in your hands, so
My fear of you has been reduced a lot.
Mr. Wei, you will definitely have to train in the land of Kansai after you step down as the executioner. However, among the several inspectors under your command now, Mr. Wei, I must be honest, they are all just fighting each other. I am afraid that they will not do so after you step down, Mr. Wei.
The tea will be cool when you leave."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Wei Jiuduan looked a little unhappy, because Chu Xiu's words were exactly what he was thinking.
Wei Jiuduan was inherently greedy, including towards his own people, so he controlled the land of Kansai only by relying on his qualifications and some tactics. He had no confidants who were really willing to pay the price to train him.
It's just that although he has no reliable confidants, he can still manage the people in Kansai in an orderly manner based on his strength and qualifications.
As a result, when he was about to step down as the executioner, he realized that he didn't even have anyone he could trust.
He could hear the meaning of Chu Xiu's words, it was nothing more than a different kind of expression of loyalty.
However, Wei Jiuduan still looked at Chu Xiu with his eyes and said calmly: "You mean you can become my confidant? But your backer is Chu Yuansheng, why would you go to me, an old man who is about to retire?
Besides, you, Chu Xiu, are not a fuel-efficient lamp. If other people are plotting against each other, you won’t be like them?"
Chu Xiu lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said: "Master Chu is not from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall after all, and he cannot interfere in the specific affairs of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. I only know that my boss at the moment is
Mr. Wei, instead of trying to please Mr. Chu, it is better to be loyal to Mr. Wei."
Wei Jiuduan squinted his eyes, subconsciously playing with the dragon pattern iron gall in his hand, and said calmly: "But the key to the question is why can I trust your loyalty?"
Chu Xiu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The other inspectors all have a strong foundation in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. They are probably waiting for you to retire, Mr. Wei, so that they can have a chance to take over, or come to embrace the lap of the new executioner.
In the entire Kansai branch, I, Chu Xiu, am the only one who has no foundation at all. I must rely on your support, Mr. Wei, to gain a foothold in this land of Kansai. Without you, Mr. Wei, I am nothing, even if you have retired.
Yes, I also need your connections and prestige in Kansai, Mr. Wei.
So you don’t have to worry about whether I am loyal to you or not. As long as I have the intention of disobeying you, Master 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, and he had seen Wei Jiuduan who was fawning over him, as well as Wei Jiuduan who was fearful of him or showed loyalty to him.
The only thing he has never seen is someone like Chu Xiu, who shows his loyalty to others but directly gives all the information about his own interests and interests into his own hands.
But this feeling is very good. Just as Chu Xiu said, he has no foundation in the land of Kansai. Just like today's matter, you can deal with him by yourself, or you can not deal with him. This
It all depends on his mood and attitude.
Now that the other inspectors are full-fledged and have their own foundations, it 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, he will be equivalent to getting a completely independent person.
An inspector under his own control.
Wei Jiuduan placed his dragon-patterned iron gall on the table and said in a deep voice: "It's easy for you to be loyal to me, and it's easy for me to accept your allegiance, but the key to the problem is what can I get from you, and you
What can you get from me?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What I want to gain is the trust of the adults. Just like this time, as long as the adults help the subordinates to handle things within the rules, the subordinates will definitely bring troubles to the adults in the future."
More benefits, half of the Jiang family's property is just the beginning."
Wei Jiuduan took a deep look at Chu Xiu, was silent for a long time, and then finally said: "I hope my choice is not wrong, and you'd better not let me down."
"Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will never let you down."
Chu Xiu lowered his head, with a faint smile on his lips.
He knew that Wei Jiuduan would definitely agree in the end, because compared to him who needed Wei Jiuduan, Wei Jiuduan actually needed him more now.
For a torture officer who is about to retire and lose some power, Wei Jiuduan has now given up all the rules of the torture hall. As long as it can bring him benefits, he will greedily swallow it up.
Now Chu Xiu can bring him benefits, so he cannot refuse and will not refuse.
At this time, outside the meeting hall, Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious. God knows what Chu Xiu said to Wei Jiuduan, and why the two of them haven't come out for so long.
At this moment, Wei Jiuduan and Chu Xiu walked into the meeting hall again. Chu Xiu had no expression on his face, but Wei Hanshan was already a little anxious.
The calmer Chu Xiu became, the more he indicated that this matter might not develop in the direction he expected.
Sure enough, Wei Jiuduan directly said to everyone: "I have already inquired about Chu Xiu's matter. The Jiang family secretly smuggled contraband, violated the rules of my detention hall, and also used my name to do evil outside. It is absolutely deserving of this."
kill!
Chu Xiu, a newly appointed inspector, was able to dig out this cancer in the Jiang family. Not only should this not be punished, but it should be rewarded."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed. What did Chu Xiu say to Wei Jiuduan, and he was able to make Wei Jiuduan clearly stand on his side.
Wei Hanshan stood up directly and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Sir, this Chu Xiu does not follow the rules and is blatant. Isn't this a problem?"
Wei Jiuduan's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Wei Hanshan with a cold look: "Are you teaching me how to do things? Do you need me to tell Mr. Guan that I will give up my position as the executioner now?
Pawn it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Hanshan had no choice but to sit back in frustration and said in a low voice: "I don't dare."
It can be said that Wei Hanshan's connections in Guanxi are deep-rooted. In addition to the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, he even has connections in the Guanzhong Wulin.
It's just that no matter how hard his relationship is, Wei Jiuduan is also the prisoner in charge of Kansai, a person who controls a lot of power. He is right. Even if something is wrong, it is still right.
At least until Wei Jiuduan officially retired and relinquished power, Wei Hanshan did not dare to confront Wei Jiuduan in person.
