Chu Xiu's sudden attack made Fang Hua and Situ Xing's eyes filled with fear.
On the one hand, they were wary of Chu Xiu's arrogant and moody attitude, and at the same time, they were also wary of Chu Xiu's strength.
Both of them are veteran Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm warriors. After staying in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall for such a long time, they have accumulated some experience, but just now Chu Xiu’s mysterious Heaven-End-Destroy Soul-Transferring Technique still brought
They were deeply impressed.
The moment they saw Chu Xiu take action, they were thinking, if it were them, could they block Chu Xiu's move? Both Situ Xing and Fang Hua were a little unsure about this.
In the past, Situ Xing and Fang Hua had no knowledge of the top ten warriors on the Dragon and Tiger List. After all, they rarely left the land of Guanzhong, but now they have seen that for a being of Chu Xiu's level, leapfrogging
Killing someone doesn't seem to be a difficult task!
In particular, the gap between the Three Flowers Gathering Stage and the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage is actually not that big, at least it is much smaller than Waigang and the Three Flowers Gathering Stage.
At this time, Yang Ling stood up to smooth things over and said: "Everyone, we have discussed the matter, why should we get into such a tense situation? It's not good for anyone, is it?"
Hearing what Yang Ling said, Fang Hua and Situ Xing seemed to have found the steps, snorted coldly, and sat back.
Jiang Taoran seemed to be shocked by Chu Xiu's action just now. His tone softened a little and said: "Master Chu, just like what Yang Ling said just now, we came here with the attitude of discussion.
, what do you mean this time? Although you have only joined Kansai Land for a short time, you should know the rules here, and what you do now is obviously breaking the rules.
I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to go against me and others for some petty convenience, right?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, you keep saying that I have touched your interests, so I want to ask, how much filial piety have been given to you by the martial arts forces under your command in the prefecture, and how much have I established it?"
Are there many state capitals?”
Everyone present looked at each other, and Jiang Taoran said with some embarrassment: "Well, of course there is no such thing. After all, we don't have your skills, Mr. Chu."
At present, in the entire Kansai area, except for the state capitals under Chu Xiu, which are completely obedient to him, the martial arts forces under him dare not have any second thoughts. The remaining martial arts forces in other state capitals are in fact with the local inspectors.
They are all seemingly incompatible with each other.
To put it simply, they will pay a certain amount of filial piety to the patrol envoy every month. At the same time, the patrol envoy will turn a blind eye to their smuggling of contraband, and sometimes they even have to pay for it.
Provide some convenience.
Generally speaking, as long as these inspectors are not as stubborn as Chu Xiu's predecessor Fang Zhengyuan, they are doing pretty well, but of course they are incomparable to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiuna directly received a certain amount of dividends from the local martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture, and he was even more prolific in Jianzhou Prefecture, making other inspectors jealous.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I did interfere in the affairs of other state capitals this time, but it was not the affairs of your inspection envoys, but the business of the local rivers and lakes.
You say that I have touched your income, but what if I can guarantee that you will get more income?"
Jiang Taoran frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "The meaning is very simple. You don't need to pay filial piety to the local martial arts forces under your command. Just pretend to be helpless towards me.
As long as you don't interfere, won't those martial arts forces be at my mercy? Of course, I won't go too far. What I did in Jianzhou Prefecture, I will do in their place, and they will also have to run their own business.
Give me part of your smuggling business.
As for the part they gave me, I won’t keep it all for myself, we will split it 40-60.”
Chu Xiu pointed at himself: "I am six and you are four."
Jiang Taoran's eyes widened when he heard this. How could he still play like this?
In fact, Chu Xiu's move is very simple. Don't these local martial arts forces think that they have the rules of Kansai, so why should Chu Xiu stop them?
Well, let's let the inspectors behind them give in first and take the lead. In this way, how many people are brave enough to die?
This is just like an allusion from Chu Xiu's previous life. When local officials collect taxes, they must first join forces with the local gentry. Only when the gentry pays the taxes honestly will other people follow suit, and the gentry's money will be paid afterwards.
If the money is returned in full, the common people will get thirty-seven cents, the wealthy gentry will get seven cents, and the local officials will get three cents.
Of course, if Chu Xiu comes here, the rules will be changed. He will get the big head, and the others will get the small head.
However, Chu Xiu was quite kind. He took 60% and the others 40%, but even this 40% was more filial than those martial arts forces had given them in the past.
Looking at everyone present, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you said that I have touched your interests. Now, not only have I not touched your interests, but I can actually increase your interests.
You don’t want to quarrel, and neither do I, so I’ve put the solution in front of you now, let’s talk about whether we agree or not.”
Several people present had tangled looks on their faces. Of course, Wei Changling would never agree.
His status as the inspector of Kansai is only secondary. His main identity is that of a member of the Jiuyuan Wei family. Of course, he must give priority to the interests of the Jiuyuan Wei family.
It's just that he had already experienced Chu Xiu's power just now, so naturally he didn't dare to speak anymore at this time.
Jiang Taoran and others all looked pensive. Although Chu Xiu said something nice and they got more benefits than before, they didn't pay anything.
According to Chu Xiu, what they paid for was very simple, and that was prestige.
Doing this is equivalent to them giving in in front of Chu Xiu and no longer caring about the local martial arts forces. In this way, Chu Xiu's power in the land of Kansai will inevitably increase greatly, but they will not be affected by the local martial arts forces.
It may be said that his reputation is gone, but at least he must be ranked below Chu Xiu.
If they don't agree, they will fall out with Chu Xiu. If they agree, although they will get benefits, they will also lose part of their prestige. This is really a difficult multiple-choice question.
But at this moment, Yang Ling suddenly stood up and said: "I agree to Master Chu's conditions."
Jiang Taoran and the others all looked at Yang Ling with expressions of surprise and a little bit of anger on their faces.
When we came here before, everyone had agreed that they would advance and retreat together, but now Yang Ling suddenly changed his mind and was the first to agree. What did he mean?
Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, we have joined the Guanzhong Punishment Hall for a long time. We have worked hard all these years without credit.
However, everyone knows that the salary of the execution hall is a bit pitiful, so to be honest, when we serve as inspectors, we must put money first.
The adults are not afraid, but we are still in Waigang territory. If we don't prepare more resources, what can we do to attack the Three Flowers Summit Realm?
You all know the character of my adoptive father. I can't get any cultivation resources from him, so now I can only find a way on my own.
Mr. Chu is the number one member of the younger generation of our Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and he represents our Guanzhong Punishment Hall in the world, and is now ranked sixth among the Dragons and Tigers.
There is nothing shameful about giving in in front of such people. I, Yang Ling, don't care about a little prestige. Getting the benefits first is the key. So I'm sorry, no matter if you agree or not, I am ready to agree anyway.
"
Yang Ling's words also made Jiang Taoran and others deep in thought.
Just like what Yang Ling said, they were still planning for this small profit in the Guanzhong torture hall, while Chu Xiu was already making a name for himself in the world.
And with Chu Xiu's current age and strength, it is certain that he will be in a high position in the future. At least he will progress much faster than them.
At that time, they may still be inspectors, but Chu Xiu is already the executioner or the leader of the punishment department. When it is beneficial, why would they bother to offend Chu Xiu for a little worthless reputation?
After thinking about this, Jiang Taoran gritted his teeth and said: "Master Chu, I am also willing to agree to your conditions."
Anyway, he thought he was not as good as Chu Xiu, and the benefits Chu Xiu gave him did not make him lose money, so Jiang Taoran agreed smoothly.
Seeing that two of the five people had already agreed, Fang Hua and Situ Xing also looked at each other, sighed and said, "We also agree to Mr. Chu's conditions."
Fang Hua and Situ Xing are not too old, but they are not too young either. They are both past their prime, and they should not be able to enter the realm of unity between man and nature in this life.
As long as Chu Xiu doesn't die and doesn't die prematurely, it is almost certain that he will become one with heaven and man in the future.
Although they are not old now, they are already old in front of people like Chu Xiu. Since Jiang Taoran and Yang Ling have already agreed, what are they still insisting on? Don't save a lot of wealth by then, which will end up later.
You can make money if you have life, but you can spend money on life.
Just like their colleague Cai Jingsheng, he has been running around for most of his life, and he was even more desperate when he was young. He even joined the Criminal Investigation Department and worked as a spy for a period of time. What was the result? It was not that he suffered a serious injury.
As a result, he sold off all the wealth he had accumulated over the years and went to find Feng Buping, the magic doctor in the world of martial arts, "Enraged Yama" to treat him.
Seeing that five people agreed to four, Wei Changling was dumbfounded. What should he say?
However, Chu Xiu had no intention of talking nonsense to Wei Changling. He said coldly: "Wei Changling, you don't have to say whether you agree or not. You can also choose to spread the word to other Jianghu forces, including what I said today.
These are all optional.
But at that time, what you touched was the interests of the entire Kansai region. I am afraid that without my intervention, the few people present can make you have no place in the Kansai branch!"
