Three days later, Chu Xiu summoned Du Guangzhong and the other two. He asked them to bring all the Jianghu constables and constables under the Inspector Hall and gather them outside Qi City.
Du Guangzhong and the other two were shocked and asked, "Sir, are you going to …?"
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Three days are up. I've given the Jiang family time. When the time comes, we'll see what the Jiang family will choose. If the Jiang family makes the wrong choice, then I'm sorry."
Du Guangzhong and the other two felt a chill. Looking at Chu Xiu's behavior, they knew what Chu Xiu meant when he said sorry.
However, the three of them didn't dare to dissuade Chu Xiu's decision. They could only follow his orders.
There was only one advantage to establishing authority through threats. It was that in a short period of time, his subordinates wouldn't dare to say a word of nonsense or disobey him.
The bodies of Wu Siping and the others had just been buried. They didn't want to follow in Wu Siping's footsteps.
When they arrived at the Jiang family in Qi City again, Chu Xiu led his men into the Jiang family's mansion. However, this time, there wasn't even anyone to greet them. Jiangxi Chen and the others didn't even get up when they saw Chu Xiu enter.
Chu Xiu didn't mind. He just said indifferently, "Clan Leader Jiang, I wonder if you've made up your mind after three days?"
Jiang Xi Chen said blandly, "I'm sorry, I can't comply with Your Excellency Chu's request. It's true that the Guanzhong Torture Hall protects the safety of the Guanzhong area, but it doesn't mean that the martial arts forces of the Guanzhong area have to bow down to the Guanzhong Torture Hall and let it plunder!"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Master Jiang, is this the result after three days of consideration?
I didn't ask for one-tenth of the family's assets for nothing. The things that you've done in Jianzhou Prefecture can't be hidden from others.
I'm actually very easy to talk to. As long as I take the things, I'll protect all the businesses of the Jiang family in Jianzhou Prefecture. You don't have to be as sneaky as before. "
Jiangxi Chen shouted coldly, "Chu Xiu! Even if you're the Patrol of the Guanzhong torture room, you can't slander me! Since when did the Jiang family do anything sneaky? Moreover, the Guanzhong torture room has always relied on evidence to speak. Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? "
Jiangxi Chen was very confident in facing Chu Xiu. Chu Yuansheng, Chu Xiu's backer, would not interfere with the internal affairs of the Guanzhong Torture Room, and the Jiangs had also hidden and destroyed all the smuggling evidence. They were more innocent than anyone else. Even if they let Chu Xiu investigate now, Chu Xiu would not be able to find anything.
However, because of Chu Yuansheng, the Jiangs could not do anything to Chu Xiu. No one cared about Fang Zhengyuan's death, but someone would definitely care about Chu Xiu's death.
Two Patrols had died in such a short time, and one of them was introduced by the 'Hero of Guanzhong', Chu Yuansheng. It would be strange if the higher-ups did not send someone to investigate.
However, not killing Chu Xiu did not mean that they would let Chu Xiu be arrogant here. After today, Jiangxi Chen was prepared to unite all the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture to boycott Chu Xiu and ruin his reputation as a Patrol!
The Guanzhong Torture Room's review of Patrols also depended on their achievements. You, a Patrol, have already lost your reputation in your territory. One could imagine how the Guanzhong Torture Room would think of you. A light punishment would be a reprimand, a heavy punishment … You might even be stripped of your position as a Patrol!
Looking at Jiangxi Chen's respectful attitude, Chu Xiu shook his head and sighed, "Master Jiang, I told you three days ago that I hoped you would make a rational choice. Unfortunately, you still made the wrong choice in the end. Don't you want evidence? Fine, I'll give you evidence today. "
As he spoke, Chu Xiu took out a pile of ores from the Space Secret Box and threw them on the ground. He said coldly, "These are precious ores from Northern Yan. They are refined into gold and are prohibited from being smuggled to other countries. Qi City's Jiang family has defied the Torture Room's rules, smuggled prohibited items, and tarnished the reputation of Guanzhong. They deserve death! "
Everyone from the Jiang family was stunned, including Du Guangzhong. They didn't expect that Chu Xiu was blatantly framing them!
The hot-tempered Jiang Yao stood out and pointed at Chu Xiu, shouting, "Chu Xiu! Are you treating the Jiang family as idiots or the Guanzhong Torture Room as idiots? Just you wait, this isn't over yet! The Jiang family is old friends with Lord Wei Jiuduan. After today, the Jiang family will definitely complain about you to Lord Wei Jiuduan. Letting someone like you be the Patrol of the Guanzhong Torture Room is simply reckless! "
A disdainful sneer was suddenly heard. However, before anyone could react, Chu Xiu's hand was already on his red sleeve blade when the sneer was heard!
The blade ray condensed from the Blood Refined Spirit Gang was unsheathed. A green dragon emerged from the sea, and the momentum of the blade soared into the sky!
In an instant, the magnificent scarlet blade light filled the entire hall. Its speed was extremely fast, and its power was also extremely strong.
No one present, including Du Guangzhong and Chu Xiu's subordinates, expected Chu Xiu to suddenly make a move.
However, the blade of Chu Xiu's Azure Dragon in the Sleeve was extremely fast. It was so fast that before Jiang Yao could react, the blade light was already in front of him!
"Defend!"
Jiang Yao didn't even have time to draw his sword. He directly struck out with both palms. Green-colored Gang Qi suddenly exploded and condensed into a Gang Qi shield. He wanted to temporarily block Chu Xiu's blade.
However, the power of the Blood Refined God Shield was beyond his imagination. His Gang Qi shield couldn't even block for a moment in front of Chu Xiu's blade. It was directly smashed by Chu Xiu's blade. With a loud explosion of Gang Qi, Jiang Yao was directly sent flying by Chu Xiu's blade. The huge blade wound on his chest was bleeding, and it was unknown whether he was still alive or not.
Chu Xiu held the red sleeve blade and said coldly, "I didn't treat anyone as an idiot. However, sometimes, the process isn't important. What matters is the result. Today, I destroyed your Jiang family. If I say that your Jiang family is smuggling contraband, then you are smuggling contraband. If I say that you colluded with evil spirits, then you colluded with evil spirits! It doesn't matter whether you did it or not. What's important is that you did it when I said you did it! "
Jiang Xi Chen's eyes were filled with anger, but more than that, there was regret and fear!
Previously, he had always treated Chu Xiu with the same attitude as a normal Patrol Inspector.
It wasn't until now that he realized that Chu Xiu was different from those people.
Fang Zhengyuan still had to act according to the rules when he found trouble with the Jiang family. He would only take action when he had enough evidence after investigating.
In Chu Xiu's opinion, his way of doing things was simply lawless. There were no rules at all!
Chu Xiu turned around and said to Du Guangzhong and the others who were still stunned, "What are you still doing there? We can't let any of these sinners of the Jiang family go! "
Du Guangzhong and the other two gritted their teeth. In any case, the three of them had already boarded Chu Xiu's pirate ship. All of their weaknesses were in Chu Xiu's hands. No matter how excessive Chu Xiu's actions were, they would still follow suit.
Therefore, the three of them had no choice but to take out signal arrows and release them out of the meeting hall. The martial artists from the Patrol Hall who were lying in ambush outside the city immediately entered the city, instantly attracting the attention of most of the martial artists in Qi City.
It was important to know that apart from some major missions in the Guanzhong Torture Room, it was rare for so many martial artists to gather together. At this moment, they thought that some infamous demon had come to Qi City.
Jiang Xi Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, fine! Chu Xiu, it seems like you've been preparing to take action against the Jiang family for a long time. Very well, the Jiang family will accompany you to the end! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xi Chen prepared to gather all the martial artists of the Jiang family to resist Chu Xiu. They could not just sit and wait for death.
However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded, "Wait!"
Outside the meeting hall, an old man in a green robe walked in. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles. His aura was very vague, but it revealed a smell of decay.
"Elder Ancestor! Why are you out? "
Jiang Xi Chen and the others hurried to help the Elder Ancestor up but were blocked by the Elder Ancestor.
"There's no need. I'm not so old that I need someone to help me up."
The Elder Ancestor looked deeply into Chu Xiu's eyes and said, "Official Chu is young and promising, and his methods are shocking. This time, the Jiang family has made an error in judgment. The Jiang family is willing to hand over one-tenth of our family's assets to Official Chu. From now on, the Jiang family is willing to follow Official Chu's lead!"
"Elder Ancestor!" Jiang Xi Chen hurriedly shouted.
The other Jiang family members also looked at the Elder Ancestor with puzzled and doubtful eyes. They all thought that the Elder Ancestor had come out because he saw the family was in danger, so he had come out to fight one last time. However, they never expected that the first thing the Elder Ancestor would do was admit defeat to Chu Xiu.
The Elder Ancestor glanced at Jiang Xi Chen and sighed, "Fool! In the past, you were the calmest among the younger generation of the Jiang family, so I appointed you to lead the Jiang family. However, I didn't expect you to be so foolish this time. Don't forget where this is. This is Guanzhong! The Guanzhong that belongs to the Guanzhong torture room! If Official Chu wants to deal with the Jiang family, even if this reason is a little more ridiculous, the Jiang family will still be at a disadvantage if it is reported to the higher-ups. This is because the Guanzhong torture room will not go wrong! "
Chu Xiu looked at the Jiang Clan's Patriarch with a faint smile. Although this old man was old, he wasn't muddle-headed. He could see very clearly.
However, Jiang Xi Chen still argued, "Lord Guan Siyu is impartial and impartial. If things get out of hand, Lord Guan Siyu will not stand by and do nothing!"
The Elder Ancestor shook his head and sighed. "You still don't understand. No matter how impartial and impartial he is, Lord Guan still cares about the benefits of the Guanzhong torture room.
If the Jiang family tells the outside world that the inspector of the Guanzhong torture room took things by force and force and is comparable to bandits, this is the truth. However, it will ultimately damage the image of the entire Guanzhong torture room. This is something that the Guanzhong torture room will never allow.
Therefore, if things get out of hand, although Official Chu will be punished for breaking the rules, the Jiang family will also be accused of these unreliable crimes and killed!
In Guanzhong, the Guanzhong torture room will not make mistakes. The ones who are wrong are us. Once things get out of hand, both sides will suffer! "
