Guan Siyu glanced at Chu Xiu in slight surprise. He seemed not to have expected that Chu Xiu could see so far.
For the execution officials, all they can see is the area under their jurisdiction. As long as they manage the area under their jurisdiction well, then they are qualified as execution officials.
It is easy for the hall masters of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall in the past generations to see this, and even every generation of hall masters are working hard to get the Guanzhong Punishment Hall out of this predicament.
But it was not easy for Chu Xiu, a young man who had just joined the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, to see this.
After pondering for a moment, Guan Siyu said in a deep voice: "Chu Xiu, you know the rules of the Guanzhong torture hall. Rewards and punishments are clear.
You asked for this matter on your own initiative, and there will be no reward if you do it well, but if you fail to do it, it will affect the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and you may not be able to keep your newly acquired position as the executioner."
Chu Xiugong cupped his hands and said: "Since I am a member of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, I naturally have to consider the interests of the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall. If everyone thinks about protecting themselves and does not open up, then the Guanzhong Punishment Hall will be worse than the last generation.
."
Chu Xiu's words were impassioned, but Guan Siyu didn't know whether what Chu Xiu said was true or false.
However, it is a good thing that Chu Xiu is enterprising. Even if he is considering his own interests, once he succeeds in the end, it will be the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall that will benefit.
Guan Siyu said in a deep voice: "Now that you have an idea, go ahead and do it, but I still have to tell you to think twice before you act."
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, thank you very much, Master."
After saying that, Chu Xiu left directly.
When he came to Guan Siyu, he was just looking for a suitable reason to set up around Diyang Mountain. In fact, Chu Xiu didn't even look down on that little bit of territory.
The land of Western Chu is full of dense forests, mountains and rivers, and the first important road leading to Western Chu from the land of Guanxi is Diyang Mountain.
However, it is precisely because there is a big mountain in the center that most of them are mountain roads that are not very spacious. There are only a few small towns around, but there is not a big state capital.
There are several forces around the entire Diyang Mountain, most of which are small sects and small aristocratic families. But in fact, these so-called sects and aristocratic families are secretly colluding with bandits and merchants to rob and rob, and some are even bandits themselves.
Bandits.
It's just that most of the merchants coming to and from Guanzhong Xingtang from Western Chu have martial arts backgrounds in Western Chu, and they are not easy to mess with, so they just pick up some soft persimmons and live a comfortable life.
In a village to the west of Diyang Mountain, Yang Tingwei, the head of the Yang family of Hengdao Villa, frowned at the Huo slave in front of him.
Huo Nu suddenly came to visit as the head catcher of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, which surprised Yang Tingwei.
Although the area around Diyang Mountain is not the border of Western Chu, it is not considered the territory of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. It is densely covered with mountains and forests and is not suitable for building a large state capital, so Guanzhong Punishment Hall used to look down on it.
This place.
However, due to the strength of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Yang Tingwei still cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why Lord Huo Nu came to my Hengdao Villa? But do you want to buy weapons?"
The Yang family of Hengdao Villa is similar to some small forces around Diyang Mountain, and they all have several identities.
On the surface, the Yang family in Hengdao Villa is engaged in the business of buying and selling weapons. The Hengdao forged by the Yang family is of very good quality. Although it is only a second- and third-level mortal soldier, it is sharp and strong, and the price is reasonable.
But if the caravans traveling around their Hengdao Villa are weak and the goods they carry are very tempting, they don't mind acting as bandits, killing people and stealing goods.
Of course, now facing the fire slaves who came from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Yang Tingwei also put away his gangster temper and became very polite.
Huo Nu casually cupped his hands and said: "Master Yang, I am a gang leader under the Guanzhong Punishment Hall and the Guanxi Punishment Officer Chu Xiuchu. I am not here to do business with you this time, but
I want to inform you of something.
Three days later at noon, in the Dongyang Tower in Qingshan Town at the foot of Diyang Mountain, my lord invited the ministers from various forces around Diyang Mountain to have a drink and discuss matters, and asked Master Yang not to be late."
Yang Tingwei frowned and said, "Chu Xiu? He is the chief executioner of Guanxi. What is there to discuss with us?"
Huo Nu said calmly: "These things are beyond my knowledge. Anyway, my master has already invited you. Whether Master Yang comes or not depends on his mood.
Of course, I don’t know the consequences of not coming, as long as Master Yang, you just think about it clearly.”
Yang Tingwei's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. The threat in Huo Nu's tone was too obvious.
However, Yang Tingwei still endured this sigh and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will go when the time comes!"
Hengdao Villa is not a very powerful force. As the head of the family, he is only in the Waigang Realm. I am afraid that even the Huo Slave in front of him cannot be defeated.
Since Diyang Mountain is so close to the land of Guanxi, the merchants who come and go have already brought the news about the land of Guanxi around Diyang Mountain. They also know that Wei Jiuduan died and Chu Xiu became the new executioner.
.
Faced with such a terrifying existence that could easily kill a master in the realm of unity between man and nature, Yang Tingwei did not dare to refuse, nor did he have the strength to refuse.
Things like Hengdao Villa happened among all the powerful forces in every corner of Diyang Mountain. This was also one of Chu Xiu's plans.
This time Chu Xiu needed to plan the birth of Babel Tower in advance, instead of scheming with a bunch of unworthy bandits here, so he had to deal with them all as quickly as possible, and then go to Diyang Mountain to feel at ease.
The layout is waiting.
Three days later, in the Dongyang Building, the largest restaurant in Qingshan Town at the foot of Diyang Mountain, more than ten warriors ranging from Waigang to Wuqi Chaoyuan realm were sitting there, waiting anxiously.
These people are all powerful martial arts forces around Diyang Mountain, and Chu Xiu personally sent people to notify them. No one dared not to come, and no one dared to be late. Instead, they all waited here early.
These people are not idiots. They don't know what happened yet, so they offend Chu Xiu, the executioner of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, who is still ranked in the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. That is just a loss of heart.
crazy.
There was silence in the Dongyang Tower. At this time, Yang Tingwei spoke first: "Do you know what happened? Chu Xiu is the executioner of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, why did he come to our Diyang Mountain area?
Boss Chen, do you know any inside information?"
Yang Tingwei turned his attention to a middle-aged warrior wearing a black robe and a beard.
This person is Chen Yun, the leader of Leiyun Village, the Black Demon Hand, which is the largest bandit village around Diyang Mountain.
Most of the forces around Diyang Mountain are guest bandits, but Chen Yun's Leiyun Village is a professional bandit. It can support itself by robbing merchants. It can be imagined how powerful this Leiyun Village is.
powerful.
In fact, Leiyun Village is indeed the largest force around Diyang Mountain, and Chen Yun himself also has the cultivation level of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan realm.
Hearing Yang Tingwei's question at this time, Chen Yun waved his hand and said in a rough voice: "What the hell is Chu Xiu doing? How could I know?
But I only know that Chu Xiu is an outsider at the moment, and we are our own. As long as we unite as one and don’t be divided by that Chu Xiu, no matter what Chu Xiu wants to do, we will not suffer."
Everyone present nodded and agreed.
But at this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Everyone in the lobby immediately fell silent and subconsciously sat upright.
Chu Xiu wore a black robe and walked slowly into the hall.
Although his face was the youngest among the people present, the aura he carried was extremely terrifying. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts, making them unable to help but feel uneasy.
Walking straight to the main seat, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "My name is Chu Xiu, and I am the execution officer in charge of Guanxi under the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. I think you all know me."
Yang Tingwei was the first to stand up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Chu is famous in the world, and we naturally know each other. I am Yang of Hengdao Villa..."
However, Yang Tingwei was interrupted by Chu Xiu before he finished speaking. Chu Xiu said coldly: "There is no need to introduce myself. I don't have that much time to listen. You just need to know who I am. As for who you are?"
Who, I don’t have the time or interest to know.”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Tingwei's face suddenly turned red from suppressing it, and a hint of anger appeared in the eyes of others.
They have seen arrogant people, but they have never seen anyone as arrogant as Chu Xiu!
It was obviously you, Chu Xiu, who called us all here, but now you don’t even want to know our names and identities. What is this? Humiliation? You specially brought them here just to humiliate them?
However, although these people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything more due to Chu Xiu's identity and reputation.
After glancing at everyone present, Chu Xiu said calmly: "I am here today just to inform you of one thing. From today on, all the mountain roads around Diyang Mountain will be included in the scope of Guanzhong Punishment Hall and belong to me."
Under the jurisdiction of the West, you local martial arts forces are also subject to the supervision of our Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Don't do the bandit business in the past. Not to mention the price reduction, you won't get much benefit.
From today on, you forces will set up checkpoints on the mountain roads around Diyang Mountain to collect tolls. As long as the caravan has paid tolls, its safety must be ensured.
You can discuss the toll fee yourself, but 60% of it will be handed over to the Kansai branch."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present immediately exploded.
They never expected that Chu Xiu would come here to recruit them, and would even deprive them of all their current benefits.
One of the warriors couldn't help but stood up and said angrily: "Master Chu, is this a bit..."
The warrior had just stood up, and before he finished speaking, Chu Xiu looked over and saw that the Heaven-End-Destroy Soul-Transferring Technique was used, and powerful spiritual power was directly poured into the opponent's mind. The next moment, the man
The warrior who only had the strength of the Waigang Realm instantly started to bleed from all his orifices, twitched a few times, and fell to the ground, lifeless!
Looking at everyone who was silent for a moment, Chu Xiu said in a voice without any emotion: "You are wrong about one thing. I am not here to discuss matters with you this time, I am just informing you.
So what you need to do is obey, of course you can also choose to resist, this is your freedom."
