The five Inspectors present didn't know what Chu Xiu had said to Wei Jiuduan, but they knew that since Wei Jiuduan had made a decision, Chu Xiu didn't do anything wrong, then he didn't do anything wrong. Whoever dared to object would be slapping Wei Jiuduan in the face.
Other than Wei Hanshan, the others didn't have any direct conflicts with Chu Xiu. Of course, they wouldn't provoke Wei Jiuduan at this time.
Looking at everyone present, Wei Jiuduan said indifferently, "Since it's like this, then disperse. Remember to manage your own territory. Don't worry about other people's matters."
Actually, Wei Jiuduan had a good impression of Wei Hanshan. Although this subordinate of his had always been a little scheming, he knew how to be filial to him and did things very well on the surface.
But in the end, he was a little muddle-headed today and actually dared to refute his orders in front of everyone. This needed to be taught a lesson.
Chu Xiu revealed a trace of a smile, stood up, and cupped his hands. "Yes, Sir."
After saying that, Chu Xiu was the first to leave the meeting hall. The others also left one after another. Only Wei Hanshan left with a gloomy expression.
After everyone left, a young man in his thirties walked into the meeting hall and bowed respectfully to Wei Jiuduan. "Foster Father."
Wei Jiuduan looked at the young man in front of him and nodded. "Yang Ling, how is the matter with the sects in Last Sun Prefecture?"
Yang Ling said, "It has been handled properly. Those sects think that foster father is about to retire, so they have some ideas that they shouldn't have. This child has already brought people to teach them a lesson."
Wei Jiuduan nodded and said, "That's right. Some people just need to be taught a lesson."
Yang Ling paused and asked, "Foster Father, I saw everything clearly just now. It was clearly Chu Xiu who broke the rules. Why are you still covering for him?"
Wei Jiuduan glanced at him and revealed a faint smile. "Why? Are you afraid that Chu Xiu will affect your position?"
"I don't dare." Yang Ling quickly cupped his hands.
Wei Jiuduan said indifferently, "You don't need to think too much. From now on, Chu Xiu is my man. However, he won't affect your position.
After all, Chu Xiu is just an outsider, but you are my adopted son who I have raised for more than ten years. Due to the rules of the Guanzhong torture room, I can't help you get to a higher position for the time being.
Even Master Guan's disciple, Yuchi, can only be an ordinary secret agent in the Criminal Division. Even if I wanted you to be an inspector, the rules wouldn't allow it.
After I retire, I will support you to the position of Patrol and let this Chu Xiu assist you. At that time, even if the new Penal Officer takes office, there will still be a place for you in Guanxi. "
Yang Ling immediately showed a grateful look and said, "Thank you, foster father!"
However, although Yang Ling expressed his gratitude, he was sneering in his heart.
He had been at Wei Jiuduan's beck and call for more than ten years. How could he not know what his foster father was like?
He said he was worried about the rules of the Guanzhong torture room, but in reality, he didn't want him to be in power!
Yuchi was indeed an ordinary secret agent in the Criminal Division, but he acted on Guan Siyu's warrant. His position in the Criminal Division was second only to the leaders.
Yang Ling could only listen to Wei Jiuduan's orders. When Wei Jiuduan needed him, he could borrow Wei Jiuduan's power and strength. It was equivalent to being an errand boy for Wei Jiuduan. In the end, he had been running for more than ten years.
He had long been dissatisfied with this situation. However, other than being dissatisfied, he could only endure. He could only endure until Wei Jiuduan retired. Only then could he truly be in power.
At this time, in Wei Hanshan's mansion in the Shangzhou Prefecture, Wei Hanshan, who had returned to his mansion, was so angry that he smashed several cups.
"Old fool, you're about to retire and leave, yet you're still playing this game with me!"
When he thought of Wei Jiuduan's attitude, Wei Hanshan was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.
Among the Patrol Envoys in the Guanxi area, Wei Hanshan wasn't the strongest, but he was the best at making money among those of the same rank.
Not only did he manage the Shangzhou and Chenzhou prefectures in good order, but he also gave Wei Jiuduan a lot of filial piety. He also used his status in the Jianghu to help Wei Jiuduan a lot. However, today, he sided with Chu Xiu in front of everyone and even gave him a warning. This made Wei Hanshan feel unusually angry.
However, he had also been Wei Jiuduan's subordinate for more than ten years, so he knew what kind of person his superior was.
Wei Jiuduan was naturally suspicious, unkind, and greedy. He treated his foster son like this, let alone others.
This time, Wei Jiuduan was standing on Chu Xiu's side because Chu Xiu had taken out enough money to move Wei Jiuduan. Wei Jiuduan was also probably wary of Wei Jiuduan's influence, so he gave him a warning.
However, the crux of the problem was that Wei Jiuduan was about to retire and give up his position, yet he still firmly held onto his power and didn't give his subordinates the slightest chance. This was a little too much.
Most importantly, this matter was a big blow to Wei Hanshan.
He was prepared to deal with Chu Xiu, but in the end, not only did Chu Xiu not receive any punishment, but he even received a reward. Wei Hanshan, on the other hand, was disgraced.
Not only would this matter affect his position in the hearts of his subordinates, but it would also affect the prestige of the forces under his jurisdiction.
Not only did the Jiang Clan not receive many benefits, but they also caused trouble for themselves. If he had known earlier, Wei Hanshan wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
Of course, it was too late for Wei Hanshan to regret now. At this time, one of his trusted subordinates pushed open the door and entered. When he saw this scene, he immediately shrunk his neck and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
Wei Hanshan looked at his hesitant appearance and couldn't help but scold him, "If you have something to say, then say it! Don't bother me at this time! "
The martial artist hurriedly said, "This subordinate actually wanted to say, since Lord Wei doesn't care about this matter, why don't we report this matter to Master Guan? Chu Xiu's status is special. Although he was recommended by Great Hero Chu, because of this, he has received a lot of attention. Although Master Guan won't easily care about the matters of the Patrol Inspector, Master Guan will definitely care about Chu Xiu. After all, he has Great Hero Chu behind him. "
Wei Hanshan frowned and said, "What do you know? Go, go, go. Don't cause trouble here! "
After throwing that bailiff out, Wei Hanshan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He was actually a little tempted.
As the Hallmaster of the Guanzhong Torture Room, Guan Siyu was concerned about the matters of the entire Guanzhong Torture Room. The people he directly interacted with were the Disciplinary Officers and the leaders of the Punishment Bureau. He naturally wouldn't ask about the small matters of the Patrol Inspectors.
However, Chu Xiu was personally recommended by Chu Yuansheng. Perhaps Guan Siyu would ask about it?
However, the only thing Wei Hanshan was worried about was Wei Jiuduan's attitude.
After all, he was going to report Chu Xiu over Wei Jiuduan. This was equivalent to slapping Wei Jiuduan in the face and criticizing Wei Jiuduan for not doing his job. If Chu Xiu was punished in the end, then Wei Jiuduan would also be reprimanded.
But when he thought of Wei Jiuduan's attitude today, Wei Hanshan sneered in his heart. Since you're heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust!
However, Wei Jiuduan had stayed in the Guanxi area for close to a century. He had accumulated too much prestige for too long. Wei Hanshan didn't dare to brazenly report Wei Jiuduan.
Hence, Wei Hanshan planned to report this matter anonymously to the Disciplinary Hall's headquarters. He would first remove himself from the picture.
Thinking up to this point, Wei Hanshan personally ordered a few of his trusted subordinates to secretly pass the message to the Discipline Hall headquarters.
Several days later, inside the Disciplinary Hall's headquarters, Guan Siyu looked at the news that came from below. His eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Someone actually sent a report letter to him. This was really rare. This was something that had not happened for many years.
Although the Guanzhong area wasn't small, it had a strict structure. Each level governed the next. It was very rare for this kind of situation of skipping a level to report happened.
In the end, someone actually leaked the news to him. Clearly, there was a problem with the Disciplinary Hall's subordinates. They actually couldn't control their subordinates.
Originally, this kind of matter that involved a low-level Patrol Inspector wouldn't be sent to Guan Siyu. If he had to manage everything, then wouldn't Guan Siyu be extremely busy?
There were many people in the Disciplinary Hall's headquarters who were responsible for helping Guan Siyu deal with information and official documents. After analyzing and filtering, they would report the information that really required Guan Siyu's decision to Guan Siyu.
This time, when Chu Xiu's matter was sent to Guan Siyu, it was really as Wei Hanshan thought. Because Chu Xiu had been recommended to the Guanzhong torture room by Chu Yuansheng, his status was special, so he was sent to Guan Siyu.
After reading the news, Guan Siyu called out softly, "Yuchi, come in."
Hearing this, Yuchi pushed open the door and entered. He said respectfully, "Master, what's the matter?"
Guan Siyu handed the news to Yuchi and said, "What do you think of this news?"
After Yuchi read the news, a strange look appeared in his eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected that Chu Xiu would cause such a huge commotion the moment he took office. Furthermore, his actions were decisive and ruthless. He didn't seem like a martialist that Chu Yuansheng had recommended to the Guanzhong torture room.
It looked like he had been wrong. Although Chu Xiu had been recommended to the Guanzhong torture room by Chu Yuansheng, he was definitely not the same kind of person as Chu Yuansheng.
Yuchi put the news aside and raised his head to say to Guan Siyu, "Master, I'm afraid Wei Jiuduan is getting old. He can't even control his subordinates. I'm afraid we have to change the Disciplinary Hall's candidate."
Guan Siyu asked for his opinion, but Yuchi didn't mention Chu Xiu at all. Instead, he directly talked about Wei Jiuduan. This made Guan Siyu reveal a satisfied expression.
