Chapter 160: The Jiang Family's Confidence
PS: Thank you for the reward of 30,000 starting coins from the book friend Scarlet Witch and the 10,000 starting coins from Pleasant Morning.
Outside Qi City, Chu Xiu glanced back at the Jiang family and said lightly: "No wonder this Jiang family can rise in Jianzhou Mansion, this Jiang Xia Chen is a character." ”
Du Guangzhong nodded and said, "That's right, this Jiang family dared to make a move against Zhengyuan in the past, and it was indeed bold." ”
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I meant his attitude today."
I've already gone so far, and my strength is still here, but this Jiang Xichen can still hold back and not turn his face against me, if it's you, can you?"
Du Guangzhong thought for a while and shook his head: "No." ”
Thinking about it from another perspective, Chu Xiu's style is simply here to find trouble, if he is the head of the family, it is strange that he can agree.
Not to mention a person like Jiang Xichen who is so powerful that he even dares to calculate and kill an inspector, even other small families would not let Chu Xiu be bullied like this.
If you are an inspector, you can ask for one-tenth of your family's property with one mouth, so are you Guanzhong Torture Hall or the Thirty-six Giants of the Northland?
"My lord, what should we do in three days?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Cold salad, I said it, after three days, I hope that the Jiang family will make a rational choice, this choice is not me, but them." ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu directly turned around and left with people.
At this time, in the Jiang family, Jiang Yao was dissatisfied: "Family master, that Chu Xiu is so arrogant, why do you still have to tolerate it? One-tenth of the family property, thanks to him to open this mouth! I just don't know what to do!"
Jiang Xichen said coldly: "Of course I know that Chu Xiu is purely deliberately blackmailing my Jiang family, but my Jiang family has been able to go all the way to this point, relying on the two points of prudence and decisiveness."
When it's time to make a move, you naturally have to make a decisive move, but you can't make a reckless move, if you think about it carefully, almost all of the officers in charge of the Guanzhong Torture Hall are served by masters of the Sanhua Juding Realm, but now such a martial artist from the Outer Gang Realm suddenly appeared, and he can sit in this position without a background?
The previous inspector made Fang Zhengyuan a rigid and rigid life, and he didn't know how to be flexible, so he didn't like Lord Wei for a long time, and there was no backing behind him, so we dared to make a move, but for Chu Xiu, first investigate his background and see if he is qualified to take one-tenth of my Jiang family's property!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xichen said directly to Jiang Yao: "Let's go, come with me to Shangzhou Mansion, and ask Lord Wei Hanshan about the origin of this Chu Xiu!"
This time, the Jiang family only took out such a little thing to send Chu Xiu away, but it was not that they really looked down on Chu Xiu, but they had already spent a sum of money on the inspector, but it was not Chu Xiu, the inspector, but Wei Hanshan, the inspector of Shangzhou.
After Fang Zhengyuan's death before, Wei Hanshan was the most active, and wanted to take the opportunity to enter the Jianzhou Mansion, and the Jiang family was ready to invest in advance, so they went to give Wei Hanshan a big gift.
It's just that who would have thought that in the end, Wei Hanshan did not take over the Jianzhou Mansion, but instead sent a new inspector, which also made the Jiang family's gift in vain.
Of course, it is not a free gift, at least Wei Hanshan can be regarded as a record of the Jiang family's intentions, even if Wei Hanshan did not enter the Jianzhou Mansion in the end, but he has a certain connection with the Jiang family.
The area of Shangzhou Mansion is about the same as that of Jianzhou Mansion, but it is much more prosperous, with more than 20 small cities under its command, and Shangzhou City in the center is also more prosperous than Jianzhou City.
And Wei Hanshan's style is also different from most of the inspectors.
Most of the inspectors of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, even if there is a house outside, most of the time they will live in the entrance of the patrol hall, while Wei Hanshan likes luxury and enjoyment, he has a special mansion in Shangzhou City, and even the office is in his own mansion, except for major events, he will go to the entrance of the patrol hall.
At this time, Jiang Xichen took people to Wei Hanshan's mansion, and after the report, he was taken into the living room, and after a while, Wei Hanshan yawned, walked out in a loose brocade robe, and said slowly: "Isn't this the head of the Jiang family, why do you have time to come to me?"
Wei Hanshan was quite enthusiastic about the Jiang family before, if he could successfully take over the Jianzhou Mansion, then a local family like the Jiang family would definitely be the object of his friendship.
It's just that now that the new Jianzhou inspector has taken office, he has broken this thought, and his attitude towards the Jiang family is also very casual, but after all, he has received the benefits of others, and he still has to see it.
Jiang Xichen respectfully arched his hand and said: "I came to Lord Wei this time, in fact, I wanted to inquire about the new Jianzhou Inspector Chu Xiu, that Lord Chu is really a bit deceitful!"
Hearing the news about Chu Xiu, Wei Hanshan was a little interested and asked, "What's the matter, what kind of moth is your new inspector making again?"
Jiang Xichen's face said with a hint of grief and indignation: "Then Chu Xiu came to my Jiang family to make a fate, and my Jiang family also gave Chu Xiu a lot of property according to the rules, but who would have thought that Chu Xiu was a lion with a big mouth, and one mouth would ask for one-tenth of my Jiang family's property!"
As soon as he heard this, Wei Hanshan was also stunned, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This Chu Xiu really dares to open this mouth, one-tenth of the family property, is he poor and crazy?"
The patrol makes this position the existence of the most basic control party in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, a small city with more than ten state capitals, dozens of large and small forces, there is a place to ask for the Guanzhong Torture Hall, it is normal to take out some filial piety on weekdays, but Chu Xiu directly asked for one-tenth of the family's property, this is almost like a robbery, he Wei Hanshan does not dare to do this, where does this Chu Xiu come from?
So here Wei Hanshan asked in surprise: "This Chu Xiu has gone so far, you haven't even turned your face with him?"
Jiang Xichen said: "I also want to turn my face, but that Chu Xiu looks aggressive, and I am a little unsure who the other party's backstage is, in case the other party has anything to do with the main hall, it is not easy to take control of such a small family as my Jiang family?"
That's why I asked for help from you, Master Wei, and wanted to inquire about the details of this Chu Xiu. ”
Wei Hanshan looked at Jiang Xichen with a smile: "The head of the Jiang family is quite careful." ”
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "People in the rivers and lakes have died a long time ago if they are not careful, and there are a lot of clansmen behind my Jiang family, so I can't help but be careless." ”
Wei Hanshan waved his hand and said: "Okay, since you have said so as the head of the Jiang family, I will help you this time, then Chu Xiu's identity and origin are really not simple, and there is also a backstage." ”
As soon as he heard Wei Hanshan's words, Jiang Xichen suddenly secretly said that it was dangerous.
The water in the Guanzhong Torture Hall is deep, the four major executioners are only the forces on the surface, and the martial artists with real combat power are all inside the main hall, such as the leaders in the Punishment Division, it is said that their strength is stronger than the four executioners.
But then Wei Hanshan said: "But you don't have to worry, then Chu Xiu can't threaten you."
This Chu Xiu doesn't look young, but he is quite famous among the younger generation, and he is a figure who has been on the list of dragons and tigers.
He used to be a casual cultivator, and later joined the Blue Dragon Society, where he was a killer for a period of time, and it is said that the land of Yandong was full of storms.
Later, I didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly betrayed the Blue Dragon Society, joined the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and became the inspector of this state.
And his backstage, that is, the key to making him an inspector, is the 'Guanzhong Hero' Chu Yuansheng, this son was personally recommended by Chu Yuansheng to Lord Guan Siyu, and it is said that he is also a distant relative of Chu Daxia.
Since it was Chu Daxia who spoke, Lord Guan Siyu naturally had to give Chu Daxia this face, otherwise do you think that with him as a martial artist in the Outer Gang Realm, he can become a patrol envoy so smoothly?"
Wei Hanshan looked at Jiang Xichen and said indifferently: "Although Chu Xiu is a young generation of Junjie, his reputation is in Yandong's generation, and then he is Junjie, he is only a younger generation, so there is no need to worry."
As for Chu Daxia's recommendation, you don't have to pay attention to it, Chu Daxia has recommended more people over the years, who do you think he has managed?
Besides, even if Chu Daxia wants to take care of it, he can't manage it, this is an internal matter of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and Chu Daxia is also measured. ”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xichen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand at Wei Hanshan and said, "Thank you Lord Wei for telling me." ”
Wei Hanshan's news is very important to Jiang Xichen, without absolute confidence, how dare he turn his face against Chu Xiu?
In the past, the Jiang family dared to attack Fang Zhengyuan because Fang Zhengyuan had no backer, and he was not even liked by Wei Jiuduan, and their Jiang family still had a favor with Wei Jiuduan.
And although this Chu Xiu is weaker than Fang Zhengyuan, he also has a backer, but obviously this backer is useless.
The name of the 'Guanzhong Hero' in the land of Guanzhong is indeed big, but the big one is only fame, not power.
Just like Wei Hanshan said, Chu Yuansheng will not easily meddle in the internal affairs of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, if every person recommended by him has a problem, he will take care of it, then who has the final say in this Guanzhong Torture Hall?
Jiang Xia smiled and handed over a brocade box, which contained five hundred taels of purple gold and two six-turn pills, although there were only two, but they were more valuable than the two bottles before Chu Xiu.
The contents of this brocade box were more than double what they had prepared for Chu Xiu before.
"What does the Jiang family master mean by this?" Wei Hanshan put away the brocade box without moving, and then asked.
Jiang Xichen smiled and said: "It's a little meaning, please don't dislike Lord Wei, my Jiang family is going to do business in Shangzhou Mansion recently, and I hope Lord Wei will take care of it when the time comes."
And if Chu Xiu still wants to embarrass my Jiang family, I hope that Lord Wei will help my Jiang family say a few fair words at that time. ”
The county officials are not as good as the current management, although the Jiang family has left some impressions in front of Wei Jiuduan, but the low-level inspectors also have to make friends.
Originally, Chu Xiu was a very good choice, but this Chu Xiu was too greedy, so they could only go near and far to make friends with Wei Hanshan, and it was a big deal to move the business to part of Shangzhou Mansion.
