Although Jianzhou Prefecture's business model caused merchants to pay more than other prefectures and prefectures, it saved time and effort. Most importantly, it was safe.
As long as you bought smuggled goods from the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture, no one from the Guanzhong torture room would come to investigate you. But if you bought it from someone else, that might not be the case.
As a result, Jianzhou City attracted more merchants than usual, and the news spread like wildfire. Jianzhou City, which wasn't very prosperous before, became twice as prosperous as the other cities within a month.
Naturally, the actions of Jianzhou Prefecture could not be hidden from others. Jiang Taoran and other constables in Guanxi wanted to learn, but this kind of thing could not be replicated at all.
Chu Xiu could use all kinds of methods to suppress all the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture. Even if other inspectors were stronger than Chu Xiu, the strength of their subordinates was also stronger than Jianzhou Prefecture.
There wasn't even a single expert at the Five Qis Collecting in the Origin Realm in the martial arts circle under the Jianzhou Prefecture, but there were other great clans or great sects in other places. Moreover, they weren't Chu Xiu. There were certain methods that Chu Xiu could use, but they couldn't.
A month later, the people that Chu Xiu planted in the major forces had calculated 20% of their profits for this month and sent it to the inspector's hall.
The smuggling profits for this month were more than double the previous profits of these families and sects. Now, even if they had to give Chu Xiu 20%, they would still earn. So this time, no one had any complaints. They were even worried that Chu Xiu would kick them out.
After all, they weren't the only martial arts influences in the entire Jian Zhou Prefecture. There were still some small influences. With Chu Xiu's current influence, if anyone was disobedient, Chu Xiu could completely kick them out and then support a small aristocratic family. With Chu Xiu's support, even if that small aristocratic family only had one Xiantian Realm martial artist, it would be enough to have a firm foothold in the entire Jian Zhou Prefecture.
In the great hall of the inspector's hall, boxes were placed in front of Chu Xiu and the others. As the boxes were opened, there were densely packed purple gold, elixirs, minerals, and other hard currencies.
Seeing these things, everyone present couldn't help but breathe faster. Even the Ghost Hand King and the other assassins of the Blue Dragon Society were like this.
The Ghost Hand King and the other assassins of the Blue Dragon Society could be considered to have seen the world, but they had never seen so many treasures in front of them. This was simply more than the profits of a large family.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Old Du, keep half of these things. Give 20% to our brothers. As for the specific distribution, you can discuss with the Ghost Hand King. Pack the other half for me. I'm going to bring it to the Guanxi branch. "
Du Guangzhong nodded. He knew who Chu Xiu was preparing these things for. However, it was already very good that his subordinates could get 20%. At the very least, Chu Xiu's generosity was far greater than Fang Zhengyuan's.
Fire Slave, Wolf King, and the other assassins of the Blue Dragon Society also revealed a hint of a smile.
When they carried out a big mission in the Blue Dragon Society, they also received a lot of benefits. In total, it was even more than what they were given this time.
However, such a big mission was always very difficult. They could only complete it by risking their lives. Now, however, it was much easier.
One should know that only Tang Ya and Yan Bu Gui had contributed a lot to the annihilation of the two families. Although the others had also contributed, in the eyes of the fire slave and the Wolf King, it was just a one-sided massacre.
Whether it was the Divine Feathers Sect or the Blackcliff Hall, there was simply no one who could fight. They were too weak, so weak that they had no interest in killing them.
However, even though killing people was boring, they were still very satisfied with the amount of cultivation resources they could obtain so easily.
When they were in the Blue Dragon Society, they were too tense. Apart from killing people, they were also cultivating. As a result, although their combat power was very strong, their cultivation speed could not keep up.
Now that they had time to relax and a large number of cultivation resources, they were probably not far from breaking through to the next realm.
After giving instructions here, Chu Xiu directly brought the things to the Guanxi branch.
At this time, in the Guanxi Punishment Hall branch, Wei Jiuduan directly called Chu Xiu to his study after hearing that he wanted to see him.
"Greetings, Lord." Chu Xiu cupped his hands respectfully.
Wei Jiuduan played with the Dragon Pattern Iron Ball in his hand and looked at Chu Xiu. "I heard about what you did in the Jianzhou Prefecture. You are quite bold. Previously, you said that the Jiang Family used my name to do evil. In the end, aren't you also relying on me to be lawless? Don't you need to give me an explanation for this matter? "
Wei Jiuduan's voice was calm, but a faint pressure attacked Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu lowered his head and said, "Of course there is an explanation. I have already asked someone to bring it here. It is just outside the door."
Wei Jiuduan gave the order, and immediately, someone carried the large boxes that Chu Xiu had brought into the study, and then immediately left.
Chu Xiu opened the boxes one by one, revealing the dazzling purple gold and elixirs that emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. Seeing these things, Wei Jiuduan's expression instantly became amiable, and the pressure also dissipated.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and smiled. "Lord, this is only the first month's income. In the future, the income will only increase. I wonder if Lord is satisfied with this explanation?"
Wei Jiuduan smiled and nodded repeatedly. He couldn't help but be satisfied.
In the past, among the Patrol Envoys under him, the one who was the best at making money was Wei Hanshan. The one who gave him the most was also Wei Hanshan.
However, no matter how much Wei Hanshan gave Wei Jiuduan, it was just a show of filial piety. If there was something to do, he would give more. If there wasn't, he would give less. He wouldn't be like Chu Xiu, who took out such a large sum of purple gold and cultivation resources to give to Wei Jiuduan every month.
Seeing these things, Wei Jiuduan was finally satisfied. It seemed that his decision to protect Chu Xiu was really the right decision. Otherwise, where would these things come from?
However, Wei Jiuduan didn't forget to give Chu Xiu a warning. Looking at the things, Wei Jiuduan said indifferently, "Chu Xiu, you are a smart person. You know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. I can protect you from the trouble you caused in the Jianzhou Prefecture, but don't think that this matter will end just like that. If the higher-ups investigate, it will still be troublesome. You have to act appropriately, understand? "
Chu Xiu immediately put on a terrified expression and said, "Yes, this subordinate will solemnly listen to Lord's teachings."
Seeing Chu Xiu's attitude, Wei Jiuduan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, go back. I can still help you deal with these small matters."
Chu Xiu lowered his head and left Wei Jiuduan's study. When he turned around, a look of disdain could be seen in his eyes.
This time, Chu Xiu had bled a lot. For a greedy person like Wei Jiuduan, it was necessary to feed him in one go. Otherwise, who knew what kind of tricks he would come up with?
Now it seemed that Wei Jiuduan was quite satisfied with the things Chu Xiu offered. However, he still gave Chu Xiu a few warnings out of habit. It seemed that his harsh and ungrateful nature wouldn't change.
In reality, when did Chu Xiu need to tell him when to act appropriately? Since Chu Xiu dared to make a move, Chu Xiu knew better than anyone else.
The officials would not investigate if the people did not report it. Currently, the entire Jian Prefecture was under Chu Xiu's control. Who would dare to make trouble?
Therefore, the money Chu Xiu took out was just a protection fee to buy some peace.
After returning to the Jianzhou Prefecture, Chu Xiu directly went into seclusion. Since there was nothing to do inside and outside, he should consolidate his cultivation.
Not only Chu Xiu, but Yan Bugui, Tang Ya, and the other assassins of the Blue Dragon Society also did the same.
When they were in the Blue Dragon Society, they usually killed more people than they cultivated. Now that they had changed places and had the conditions, they naturally had to go into seclusion and rest.
Du Guangzhong and the other Jianghu constables were happy to see this happen.
They couldn't wait for Tang Ya and the others to stay in seclusion and not fight with them for power.
In the process of destroying the Divine Feathers Sect and the Black Cliff Hall, they also saw how terrifying these guys from the Blue Dragon Society were, especially Tang Ya and Yan Bugui. Either one of them could defeat the three of them.
Now that the order in the Jianzhou Prefecture had been completely stabilized, there was almost nothing for Chu Xiu to worry about. Therefore, he also went into seclusion peacefully for more than two months. However, at this time, Du Guangzhong suddenly knocked on the door of Chu Xiu's seclusion room, saying that he had something important to report.
Du Guangzhong had been a constable in the Guanzhong Torture Room for so many years. Although he was a little pedantic, he was still very reliable. He could solve most things.
Now that Du Guangzhong had come looking for him, it was obviously not a small matter.
After stretching his body, Chu Xiu called Du Guangzhong into the study and asked, "What happened? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Du Guangzhong cupped his hands and said, "A small family in the Wen City of the Jianzhou Prefecture, Liu Clan, has been annihilated."
Chu Xiu frowned and said, "What's the fuss about a small family being annihilated? Who did it?"
It wasn't like Chu Xiu had never seen a family being annihilated. Not long ago, he had even annihilated the Divine Feathers Sect and the Black Cliff Hall.
As for the local small families in the Jianzhou Prefecture, it was even more common. As long as they didn't violate the laws of the Guanzhong Torture Room and didn't affect Chu Xiu's interests, they could do whatever they wanted. At the very least, Chu Xiu couldn't be bothered to care.
Du Guangzhong revealed a bitter smile and said, "I don't know. Liu Chengli, Qin Fang, and I have already investigated, but we didn't find anything. That's why we came looking for you."
