Chu Xiu's method was simple and crude, which made Du Guangzhong dumbfounded.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed the case.
The death of a Jianghu constable wasn't a big deal. As long as no one disclosed it, the higher-ups wouldn't investigate it.
Chu Xiu's immediate superior was Wei Jiuduan. Would Wei Jiuduan investigate the death of an ordinary Jianghu constable? Wouldn't he be busy to death?
As long as the reason and evidence were sufficient, it was fine to report it without arousing suspicion.
Du Guangzhong hesitated, "And Wu Siping's subordinates …"
"Kill them all." Chu Xiu waved his hand and said lightly.
"Wh … What?" Du Guangzhong doubted his hearing.
"Your Excellency, Wu Siping had dozens of subordinates. Kill them all?"
Liu Chengli and Qin Fang also looked at Chu Xiu in bewilderment. Killing dozens of people in one breath, what was Chu Xiu going to do? Was he going to break up the whole Inspector Hall?
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Constable Du, you told me about Wu Siping's background. He was originally a Jianghu bandit. His Jianghu temperament was too heavy. He was different from you Jianghu constables who were trained in the Guanzhong torture room.
You used the rules of the Guanzhong torture room to restrain your subordinates, while he relied on the so-called Jianghu code of brotherhood. Although you don't like it, I have to say that his subordinates are far more loyal than yours.
Moreover, none of Wu Siping's subordinates came from the Guanzhong torture room. Almost all of them were born in the Jianghu. They were blinded by the so-called brotherhood, so it's hard to say what they would do.
Wu Siping is already dead. I don't want to cause any trouble because of a dead man. "
Du Guangzhong and the other two didn't look good. In fact, it was true. The loyalty of their subordinates could only be said to be ordinary.
In the past, they didn't like Wu Siping's Jianghu habits, but the loyalty of Wu Siping's subordinates was much stronger than theirs.
"I'll leave this matter to you three. I only want the result." Chu Xiu ordered.
Liu Chengli asked in surprise, "Us?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "If it wasn't you, could it be me? If I do everything myself, what's the use of you guys then? "
Liu Chengli and the other two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They knew what this meant. This was their proof of allegiance to Chu Xiu.
If they killed the people on Wu Siping's side, they would also have something that could be used against them by Chu Xiu. They could not find a reason to betray him, nor did they want to.
Therefore, the three of them could only cup their hands and leave with Wu Siping's corpse.
The Jianzhou City Patrol Hall had jurisdiction over more than ten small cities around it. They were not too far away. The furthest place could be reached in two or three days on horseback.
Moreover, this time, they had decided to submit to Chu Xiu, so they had to show their sincerity. Therefore, they gathered all the Jianghu constables under them and gathered them in a rundown temple outside the city under Wu Siping's name. They said that there was a mission for them.
At this time, in the rundown temple outside Jianzhou City, more than fifty Jianghu constables were gathered. They all looked puzzled.
Since the death of the previous Patrol Fang Zhengyuan, they hadn't made such a big move in a long time. Could it be that the new Patrol was up to something?
One of the warriors asked a bald warrior beside him, "Brother Sun, what is Lord Wu planning to do by gathering us here? Is something big going to happen? You are always by Lord Wu's side. You should know the news. "
The bald warrior touched his bald head and said doubtfully, "I don't know either. After the new Patrol called Lord Wu and the others to the meeting hall, he acted mysteriously and gathered everyone together. I don't know what he's up to. However, you don't have to worry. The new Patrol is only in the Physical Invulnerability Realm. He got in because of his connections. What right does he have to be above Lord Wu? In the future, the Patrol Hall will still respect Lord Wu! "
While everyone was discussing, Du Guangzhong and the other two walked into the rundown temple.
Du Guangzhong's personality was a little awkward to do such things, so he let Liu Chengli do it.
Liu Chengli had been in the Guanzhong Torture Room for more than twenty years. His seniority was second only to Du Guangzhong.
However, unlike Du Guangzhong who was more old-fashioned and rigid, Liu Chengli was short and fat. He always had a smiling expression on his face and looked harmless. He usually spoke in a friendly manner, so the ordinary constables and bailiffs didn't really fear him.
Seeing Liu Chengli, the bald warrior under Wu Siping asked curiously, "Lord Liu, where is Lord Wu?"
Liu Chengli smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll send you to see Lord Wu."
The people under Wu Siping didn't react, but the bald warrior felt that something was wrong.
What did he mean by sending them to see Lord Wu?
However, before he could object, Liu Chengli waved his hand with a smile on his face and said softly, "Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of bowstrings exploding could be heard from outside the dilapidated temple. Dozens of huge crossbow bolts as thick as an arm were shot at the same time, directly penetrating the wall and immediately killing half of the warriors under Wu Siping!
After a round of crossbow bolts, more than thirty Jianghu constables, the weakest of whom was in the Xiantian stage, rushed into the rundown temple and started a massacre with Liu Chengli and the other two.
After all, Wu Siping had more than fifty people under him. Although Liu Chengli and the others were Physical Invulnerability Experts, they couldn't kill them all in a short time. It would be troublesome if even one of them escaped.
Therefore, they also brought their trusted subordinates to attack. Although there weren't many of them, they were all powerful and reliable confidants.
Moreover, Liu Chengli had slyly ordered the others to use the Siege Breaking Crossbow to ambush and kill half of the enemy.
This kind of Siege Breaking Crossbow was used by armies to attack cities. There were many of them in the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall, but they were used to apprehend martial artists who cultivated their bodies. Ordinary Xiantian martial artists would have to expend a great deal of effort to defend against them. Those below the Xiantian realm would have no choice but to dodge.
In the midst of the massacre, the warriors under Wu Siping were still in a state of confusion. They couldn't understand why their comrades would suddenly kill them. Where was their lord?
Unfortunately, under such a crushing situation, they didn't even have time to think. In less than fifteen minutes, they were all slaughtered.
Shaking off the blood on his saber, Liu Chengli put his palms together and bowed to the corpses on the ground. He said in a low voice, "Everyone, I'm not the one who wants you dead. Even if you become evil spirits, don't look for me in the middle of the night. That Official Chu has a murderous aura around him. I reckon he has killed a lot of people. You guys go look for him."
Qin Fang couldn't stand Liu Chengli's attitude. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Old Liu, what's the use of acting like this? If you want to kill people, then kill them. If you're really afraid that they'll become evil spirits and come looking for you, why don't you go and do good deeds? "
Liu Chengli glanced at him and said, "What do you know? This is a method I learned from the Bodhi Zen Monastery's Zen preaching. Do you know what karma is? Do you know what inner demons are? "
Qin Fang curled his lips in disdain and said, "Bullsh * t! Those monks have killed a lot of people themselves. What's the use of these fake things? Don't waste time. Burn the corpses and deal with them. "
They were all experienced constables in Jianghu. What they were best at was investigating all kinds of traces of fighting.
This time, they could fake the scene, but it would be too much effort. Anyway, with Lord Chu Xiu taking the blame, they could just push all the blame onto some villains and thieves. They could just say that these warriors died in the line of duty and were cremated and buried. When the higher-ups investigated, there wouldn't be any evidence at all. It was very simple.
After dealing with these corpses, the three of them directly brought their men back to the Jian Province's Inspector Hall. They gathered everyone together and formally paid their respects to Lord Chu Xiu.
In fact, this step should have been done when Chu Xiu took office. According to the rules, the four of them should have brought all their men to pay their respects to Chu Xiu. Otherwise, as an inspector, wouldn't it be a joke if he didn't know his men?
But at that time, Wu Siping had already decided to make Chu Xiu a mere figurehead, so this scene was naturally avoided. Now, it should be regarded as the first step for Chu Xiu to establish his own prestige in the Jian Province's Inspector Hall.
At this time, in the martial arts field in the backyard of the Inspector Hall, nearly two hundred constables and constables of the Jian Province's Inspector Hall gathered here, waiting for Chu Xiu's instructions.
As long as one wasn't too stupid, he should be clear about the atmosphere in the Inspector Hall.
The new inspector took office, but they weren't allowed to pay their respects. The attitude of the several Lords was already obvious.
And how long had it been? In less than half a month, they were called by their Lords to pay their respects to the new inspector. This attitude naturally explained everything.
The new Lord's methods were very sharp. It only took him such a long time to make Wu Siping and the others completely submit. However, they were still a little puzzled. Why didn't Wu Si and the others' men come?
Only the warriors who participated in the battle against Wu Siping's men remained silent and kept a low profile.
After a while, Du Guangzhong and the other two followed behind Chu Xiu to the martial arts field. They stood in front of everyone and bowed to Chu Xiu. "Greetings, Lord!"
The rest of the Inspector Hall's constables also bowed to Chu Xiu in unison. "Greetings, Lord!"
Looking at everyone present, Chu Xiu nodded and said, "There are five inspectors under the Guanxi region. Ever since the previous inspector, Lord Fang, died in the line of duty, the Jian Province's Inspector Hall has become the weakest among all the inspectors.
"However, life and death are decreed by fate. The strength of the Jian Province's Inspector Hall doesn't depend on me, but on you.
"In the past, you didn't have a chance to fight, but now, I'm giving you this chance!"
