Although Chu Xiu issued a military order on the spot, the position of the executioner was successfully passed into his hands. Although it was only temporary, Chu Xiu was confident that he could make it permanent.
Yin Botong had a dark face and said nothing more. Guan Siyu stuck to his word, and no one could refute what he decided.
But Yin Botong always felt a little strange.
He is an old man who follows Guan Siyu. In the past, when Chu Kuangge was the leader of the hall, he was the leader of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. He was a colleague of Guan Siyu in his early years, so he understood Guan Siyu's personality.
The words "Iron-faced Judge" are not just words. Guan Siyu was indeed extremely ruthless in his early years and would not favor anyone.
But in recent years, Guan Siyu has always made some unexpected decisions. Although it does not damage the interests of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, it is somewhat inconsistent with Guan Siyu's character. Just like what he did today, although Guan Siyu behaved
It wasn't obvious, but he was definitely leaning towards Chu Xiu, otherwise Chu Xiu would never have been able to get through the difficulties so easily and even be promoted to a higher rank.
However, Yin Botong did not dare to say anything at this time and had to leave with a dark face.
After Chu Xiu walked out of the gate, Yuchi followed him out, cupped his hands to Chu Xiu and said, "Congratulations to Brother Chu. Not only is everything okay this time, but he has also been promoted to the rank of executioner. In the history of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Brother Chu, you are the best
But he is the youngest executioner."
Chu Xiu asked with a smile on his lips: "Brother Yuchi is envious?"
Yuchi shook his head and said: "No one else can envy your position, and I don't dare to envy you either."
Yuchi was a sensible person. Everyone else could only see that Chu Xiu had taken the position of executioner at a young age, but no one saw what Chu Xiu had paid for this position. It was really life-threatening.
of fighting.
And now Chu Xiu still has not secured this position.
The news that just came from the land of Kansai can explain everything. There are people inside who are dissatisfied with Chu Xiu, and there are also big families in the land of Kansai who are causing trouble outside. Under the internal and external troubles, if Chu Xiu can't put these things together in a month,
After everything is done, let alone the position of chief criminal officer, he can't even be an inspector. At most, he will be thrown into the Criminal Investigation Department and become an ordinary spy.
Yuchi was cautious by nature, but he didn't agree with Chu Xiu's extremely dangerous approach. If he was not careful, he would lose everything.
He is Guan Siyu's direct disciple. As long as he practices steadily and accumulates qualifications, when he reaches the realm of unity between man and nature, whether he is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Department or the chief executioner of the place, he will basically have the choice.
There is no need to go to such extreme lengths as Chu Xiu.
After chatting with Yuchi for a few words, Chu Xiu walked out of the door. Mei Qinglian came walking in the distance. Chu Xiu just raised his hand to Mei Qinglian without saying much.
There are many people in the main hall, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Stepping out of the door of the main hall, Chu Yuansheng was waiting outside. When he saw Chu Xiu, Chu Yuansheng immediately went up to him and laughed: "I knew Brother Chu that you would be fine this time. In front of Brother Guan, I said
It’s still useful.”
Chu Yuansheng didn't think it was Mei Qinglian's credit for Guan Siyu's side with Chu Xiu. He thought it was because he went to see Guan Siyu yesterday. Although Guan Siyu didn't give him a chance to speak, he secretly sided with Chu Xiu.
Hugh this side.
Chu Xiu didn't point it out, but cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Brother Chu's help this time, I was able to successfully survive this disaster."
Chu Yuansheng waved his hands and said: "Do you still need to be so polite between you and me? You just happened to come to Guanzhong, stay a few more days before leaving."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I really don't have time to stay in Guanzhong this time. I just took over as the executioner, but the land of Guanxi is a bit uneasy. If I can't completely calm down within a month,
With these things, I am afraid that not only will I lose my position as the executioner, but I will also be unable to keep my position as the inspector."
Chu Yuansheng said quickly: "Since this is the case, I will not keep Brother Chu any longer, but I believe that with your ability, Brother Chu, solving these matters will not be a problem."
After saying goodbye to Chu Yuansheng, Chu Xiu returned directly to Guanxi. While Chu Xiu was still on the road, news came from the land of Guanxi that Chu Xiu had taken over as the executioner.
The people under Chu Xiu were naturally happy. Although they had confidence in Chu Xiu, the killing of Wei Jiuduan was so big that they still felt a little confused. But now Chu Xiu is not only fine, but he is still the executioner.
Location, what does this mean? It means that from now on, the entire land of Kansai will be their world!
But Jiang Taoran's face turned extremely ugly after receiving the news.
He simply couldn't understand what the main hall and the hall master were thinking. Chu Xiu had made such a big mistake, and the land of Kansai was even more chaotic. But in the end, Chu Xiu was still able to become the leader.
This executioner, does he still follow the rules?
Although Jiang Taoran was not convinced, he had no choice but to put away all those little tricks in the dark and began to act in a low-key manner to erase traces.
As for the Zhang family in Yuanzhou, Zhang Wanshan, the ancestor of the Zhang family, sighed, called Zhang Kunze, and said: "Go and tell all the Zhang family members and those forces related to my Zhang family that there is no need to make any more trouble, the overall situation has been decided, Chu
Xiu has become the execution officer, no matter how much trouble we make, Guanzhong Punishment Hall will not replace Chu Xiu as the execution officer, otherwise the appointment of Guanzhong Punishment Hall will really be a child's play."
Zhang Kunze was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Ancestor, is it possible that we just let it go this time? Once we choose to stay dormant and keep a low profile, our Zhang family will be completely embarrassed this time!"
Previously, the Zhang family aggressively united with so many martial arts forces to jointly submit a letter to the main hall to cause trouble for Chu Xiu, looking like they were bound to pull Chu Xiu down.
In the end, they did not pull Chu Xiu down, but instead promoted him. If they kept a low profile at this time, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving in to Chu Xiu? Anyway, in the eyes of other martial arts forces, the Zhang family's face this time was...
Big loss.
Zhang Wanshan sighed: "When Chu Xiu was not the executioner in charge, we were still able to compete with him, but now that he has really become the executioner in charge, we are the ones who suffer the loss no matter what.
Remember, never challenge the Guanzhong Punishment Hall in Guanzhong, otherwise it will always be us who suffer."
Zhang Wanshan was so insistent that even though Zhang Kunze was a little unconvinced, he could only nod his head and follow Zhang Wanshan's instructions.
After Chu Xiu returned to Jianzhou Mansion, King Guishou, Du Guangzhong and others were already waiting to greet Chu Xiu at the city gate. When they saw Chu Xiu coming, everyone saluted and said: "Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to the executioner!
"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "I haven't secured my position yet. I heard that there was some chaos in the Kansai area during my absence? The hall master only gave me one month to settle things within a month.
It was through these messy things that I finally secured my position.
Time waits for no one, go and take over the Kansai branch first."
Wei Jiuduan is dead. Now that Chu Xiu is the chief executioner, he will naturally take over the Guanxi branch. Chu Xiu is no longer prepared to use the people who were under Wei Jiuduan before, whether they were Wei Jiuduan's confidants or not.
Only his people can be in the branch.
After everyone cleaned up, they immediately went to the Kansai branch and began to officially take over the entire Kansai land.
Although the warriors under Wei Jiuduan had some complaints before, and the warriors directly affiliated with the Kansai branch were dispersed to other state capitals, they still understood the principle of one emperor and one courtier. In addition, Chu Xiu's evil reputation was still
Now, they didn't dare to say anything.
After spending a few days to deal with these things, Chu Xiu asked Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong: "Tell us in detail what happened in the land of Kansai during this period. Who is behind it?
"
The Ghost Hand King first said: "On the Jianghu side, the Yuanzhou Zhang family is the leader. Except for the Yuanzhou Zhang family, the other martial arts forces do not have the strength or the courage to challenge you, sir, at this time.
However, after you became the executioner, the Zhang family of Yuanzhou became quiet. It seems that they are ready to admit defeat and no longer want to be your enemy."
Chu Xiu sneered when he heard this: "People have to be responsible for their own words and deeds. Do you really think that by being low-key now, you can pretend that the incident never happened? It's simply naive and ridiculous!"
Chu Xiu had never been a generous person. He plotted against him once, but when it didn't work, he kept a low profile and submitted softly, thinking that the matter could just be ignored? How could it be that simple?
For those who hang out in the martial arts world, talking about swords and fists will always be more effective than talking about reason.
If someone offends me, stabbing him with a knife will always be more effective than compromising and reasoning.
Du Guangzhong said from the side: "There are still some people who are spreading the news that you killed Wei Jiuduan in the world, and they are also telling the truth about some of the dirty things between you and Wei Jiuduan. This is definitely the work of our own people within the Guanxi Punishment Hall."
of.
I asked people to go check it out. The person who did it was very careful and left no trace or evidence. However, I can use the stupidest elimination method to figure out who is behind the scenes.
Situ Xing and Fang Hua have no courage and no reason to take action. I sent people to check and it is definitely not their doing. In this case, Jiang Taoran is the only one left."
There was a cold glint in Chu Xiu's eyes. To be honest, he didn't expect that Jiang Taoran would be the one to take action, because even if Chu Xiu couldn't be the executioner, it wasn't Jiang Taoran's turn to do this.
It's purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
But Chu Xiu didn't want to know why Jiang Taoran did this. Anyway, for him, these were the people he planned to clean up this time.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Go and inform Situ Xing, Fang Hua, Jiang Taoran, and Yang Ling to come to the Xingtang branch. The new officials have taken office, and it is time to clean up a group of people.
To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle the internal affairs, sort out the internal affairs of Guanxi, and then deal with the forces of the Zhang family."
