Du Guangzhong found Chu Xiu's explanation of the saber novel. Although he was an old man in the Guanzhong Torture Room, his father and grandfather's generation were just ordinary low-level constables. They didn't even have a physical invulnerability expert. His generation was already the strongest in the Du family.
A martial artist of this level could only be considered decent in the underworld. It could be said that he had just stepped into the threshold of martial arts. His understanding of martial arts was very rough. To them, a saber was a saber. What else could it be?
After listening to Chu Xiu's words, Du Guangzhong seemed to have understood something. He even pondered for a while.
But then Du Guangzhong came to his senses. Why did he come here?
He couldn't help but ask Chu Xiu, "Official Chu, it's been two hours. What do you want? You can't just talk about sabers and swords with me, right? "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's fine. You can leave now."
Chu Xiu's words stunned Du Guangzhong. Then, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.
If Chu Xiu wasn't an inspector, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
He found me, sat with me for two hours, and asked me to leave after saying a few words. What is this? Is he messing with me?
Du Guangzhong snorted and turned to leave in dissatisfaction.
But at the moment when Du Guangzhong turned around, Chu Xiu sheathed his saber. The sharpness in his eyes was not inferior to the red sleeve saber that he polished.
At this time, in Wu Siping's room, Wu Siping and the other two were waiting anxiously.
Previously, they thought that Du Guangzhong was just pretending to be courteous with Chu Xiu and would come out soon.
But it had been two hours. What were they talking about? Even if they were pretending to be courteous, it wouldn't take so long.
Wu Siping sent his confidant to check, but it was useless. The door of Chu Xiu's study was closed. He couldn't hear anything at all. This made Wu Siping a little confused.
At this time, Du Guangzhong came back. Wu Siping said quickly, "Old Du, what did Chu Xiu say to you?"
Du Guangzhong said subconsciously, "Nothing."
As soon as he said this, Wu Siping, Liu Chengli and Qin Fang's gazes changed.
Chu Xiu had called him into the study for an hour, but now Du Guangzhong said that Chu Xiu didn't say anything. It was too obvious that Du Guangzhong was trying to brush him off.
Feeling the gazes of the three, Du Guangzhong said quickly, "I really didn't say anything. Official Chu just talked to me a little about saber skills."
Hearing this, Wu Siping sneered and said, "I didn't see it before. Old Du, your saber skills are so profound that even the inspector sent by the higher-ups wanted to learn from you. But the key is, do you believe it yourself?"
Du Guangzhong was helpless. He said hurriedly, "Listen to my explanation …"
Wu Siping waved his hand and interrupted Du Guangzhong. "Old Du, you and I are now in the same boat. No matter what Chu Xiu promised you, it's just an empty promise.
Embezzlement is a big crime. It's fine if no one reports it. But once it is reported, we're finished. Chu Xiu can't protect you either!
Now I'll give you one last chance. What did Chu Xiu say to you? Or should I say, what did he promise you? "
Du Guangzhong looked like he was going crazy. "Chu Xiu really didn't say anything to me. He didn't promise me anything. How can I explain it to him?"
Wu Siping sneered. "Well, well, well, Du Guangzhong, I underestimated you. You've decided to surrender to the new Lord so quickly. Are you going to help me in my hour of need? Then let's wait and see who will have the last laugh! "
Finishing his words, Wu Siping sneered and turned to leave. Liu Chengli and Qin Fang also took a deep look at Du Guangzhong and left.
No matter where, traitors were always the most hateful. Obviously, in their eyes, Du Guangzhong was a traitor.
Looking at the three of them leaving, Du Guangzhong's heart sank. Things seemed to be getting out of hand. This misunderstanding couldn't be explained clearly.
At this time, he suddenly remembered Chu Xiu's previous actions. Chu Xiu had called him over for no reason, but in the end, he didn't say a word and only talked to him about some inexplicable things before letting him leave. Could it be that Chu Xiu did this on purpose?
Thinking of this, Du Guangzhong felt a chill in his heart.
If this was really the case, Chu Xiu was too terrifying. He didn't say anything and didn't promise anything, but he had already caused a rift between the four of them.
Du Guangzhong left in a daze. Now, his mind was full of thoughts about what he should do to explain to Wu Siping and the others.
But the problem was that what he said was the truth. Chu Xiu didn't say anything to him at all. If he went back and told Wu Siping and the others that Chu Xiu promised him something to win him over, would they believe him?
Just like this, Du Guangzhong struggled for a night and didn't know how to explain.
Right now, the four of them were actually in the same boat. There were no benefits between them, but they had their own weaknesses. If they fell out because of this inexplicable reason, the only one who would benefit would be Chu Xiu!
The next morning, Du Guangzhong had just come out of his residence when he ran into Chu Xiu.
Because of yesterday's incident, Du Guangzhong guessed that he had been schemed against by Chu Xiu, so he didn't have a good attitude towards Chu Xiu. However, Chu Xiu went up to greet him and said, "Constable Du is up early. Come with me to the Guanzhong General Hall today."
Du Guangzhong frowned and said, "Why are we going there?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "It doesn't matter what we are going to do. Do you think I will eat you up?"
Du Guangzhong was just about to find an excuse to refuse when Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "Don't refuse. Don't forget, I am the Patrol Inspector now. Can't I ask you to temporarily put down all your subordinates' matters?"
Du Guangzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I can!"
Even if Chu Xiu didn't have any real power as the Patrol Inspector at the moment, and the few of them were only pretending to obey Chu Xiu and preparing to make him a mere figurehead, he was still the Patrol Inspector after all. If they really fell out, they would also be punished.
Hearing Du Guangzhong's agreement, Chu Xiu asked someone to find two fast horses and followed Du Guangzhong to Guanzhong.
After they left, Wu Siping's confidant immediately told him the matter.
Wu Siping called Liu Chengli and Qin Fang over and sneered, "Yesterday, Du Guangzhong just finished a secret talk with Chu Xiu and today he followed Chu Xiu to Guanzhong. If there is no deal between them, who would believe it?"
Liu Chengli said hesitantly, "Yesterday I thought about it. Old Du shouldn't be an idiot. What is the benefit of him siding with this Chu Xiu? The four of us have something on each other. If he siding with Chu Xiu, it is equivalent to sending his own weakness to Chu Xiu. At that time, he will naturally be at the mercy of Chu Xiu. Will he do such a thing? So I feel that there should be some misunderstanding. Today, he followed Chu Xiu to Guanzhong, it should be Chu Xiu's order. After all, he is the Patrol Inspector now. We can't refute things like face. "
Wu Siping snorted coldly and said, "Whether it is true or false will be seen with one look. I have brothers at the headquarters. I will send a letter to them to help me keep an eye on Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong. We will see if this is a misunderstanding or if Du Guangzhong really betrayed us!"
The Guanzhong area was so large. If they relied on sending letters to pass messages, it would be too late when something really happened.
Therefore, in the Guanzhong area, each of the Hall of Inspectors had a formation to transmit information to each other. However, the consumption of the formation was a bit high. Other than the important information being transmitted through the formation, the rest of the unimportant information still had to be transmitted through manpower.
But now that Wu Siping had decided to make Chu Xiu a figurehead, he naturally didn't have to care about those rules and directly used public tools for private purposes.
At this time, after Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong set off, Du Guangzhong held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help asking Chu Xiu, "You did it on purpose yesterday?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Of course it was on purpose."
Du Guangzhong was stunned. He didn't think that Chu Xiu would say it so directly without any concealment.
Since Chu Xiu had made it clear, Du Guangzhong didn't hide it anymore. He snorted coldly and said, "Official Chu, do you think you can drive a wedge between us with these little tricks?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "But there's already a rift between you guys, isn't there?
I know you guys aren't convinced of me. How can an outsider like me sit in this position so easily? If it were me, I wouldn't be convinced either.
But it's important to know one's own limitations. Just based on the four of you with your own schemes, do you think it's possible to make me a figurehead? "
Du Guangzhong sneered and said, "The waters of the Guanzhong torture room are deep. The entire Guanzhong area is filled with martial artists from all over the pugilistic world. The Guanzhong torture room is naturally the same.
In history, there were Inspectors who were made a figurehead by their subordinates, and there were even Disciplinary Officers who were made a figurehead by their subordinates!
There are rules in the Guanzhong torture room. It's not like other places where you can sit in a high position just because you know how to fight and kill. "
Chu Xiu didn't argue. He just smiled and said, "Alright, we'll wait and see."
After a few days, Chu Xiu and Du Guangzhong arrived at Guanzhong City. However, after arriving at Guanzhong City, Chu Xiu just casually strolled around the Disciplinary Hall before bringing Du Guangzhong to look for Chu Yuansheng.
Last time, Chu Yuansheng was chased by people and had yet to recover. During this period of time, he had been resting at home. Seeing that Chu Xiu had come and had someone to drink with him, Chu Yuansheng was in a good mood.
"Brother, did something happen in the territory this time?"
Chu Xiu gave some of the gifts he bought to the servants and said with a smile, "It's nothing, everything is going well. It's just that I can stand firm in the Guanzhong torture room because of your help, so today I'm here to thank you. By the way, this is my subordinate, Constable Du Guangzhong of the pugilistic world. He also admires you very much. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the way, so I brought him here."
Du Guangzhong, who was beside Chu Xiu, bowed to Chu Yuansheng with an excited expression and said, "Greetings, Hero Chu!"
