Hearing Du Guangzhong say that the people in Guanxi had changed, Chu Xiu vaguely guessed something. He asked, "What happened?"
Du Guangzhong said, "The Inspector of Anzhou, Cai Jingsheng's old injury has relapsed. It seems to be serious, to the point that he cannot continue to be an inspector. So half a month ago, Cai Jingsheng resigned from his position as the An State's patrol inspector and sold all his assets to head to West Chu. I heard that he is going to find the famous West Chu doctor 'Anger Yama' Feng Buping to treat him. "
Chu Xiu nodded. He knew this was the case.
Previously, during the competition in the Guanzhong torture room, Wei Jiuduan had told him that Cai Jingsheng's old injury had relapsed and he would not be able to last much longer. He would have to give up his position as inspector.
During the martial arts competition, Chu Xiu had crippled Li Tianhao and helped Wei Jiuduan vent his anger. Thus, the two prefectures under Cai Jingsheng's command were now his. Chu Xiu could also become the most powerful Patrol Inspector in the Guanxi Region.
Right now, the Shangzhou Prefecture Inspector Yang Ling was Wei Jiuduan's adopted son on the surface and only loyal to Wei Jiuduan. But in reality, he was Chu Xiu's man.
This way, a small half of the power in Guanxi was in Chu Xiu's hands.
But Du Guangzhong continued, "Cai Jingsheng has two state prefectures under his command. He has not managed the Anzhou Prefecture, and the other Spirit State Prefecture has been given to a newly joined Guanzhong Torture Hall Three Flower Realm martial practitioner, Wei Changling, to manage.
This matter dissatisfied the other inspectors. Sir, when you joined the Guanzhong torture room, you were recommended by Sir Chu Yuansheng, and you were personally appointed by the Hall Master. Wei Changling had no position.
But under the insistence of Official Wei Jiuduan, the other people could only endure even if they were dissatisfied. This Wei Changling has been in the Anzhou Prefecture for a while now, and has used the power of the Nine Plains Wei Family to stabilize the situation in the Anzhou Prefecture. He can be said to have secured his position. "
After Du Guangzhong finished speaking, he realized that Chu Xiu's expression had suddenly turned gloomy. His expression was frighteningly cold.
This scene gave Du Guangzhong a fright. Did he say something wrong?
Du Guangzhong asked cautiously, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Chu Xiu said coldly, "It's nothing. I was just fooled once."
This time, Chu Xiu was indeed fooled by Wei Jiuduan. The only thing he didn't expect was that Wei Jiuduan could be so shameless.
Chu Xiu knew Wei Jiuduan's personality. Last time, Chu Xiu did not want Wei Hanshan's Shangzhou Prefecture and gave it to Yang Ling because he knew that Wei Jiuduan did not want him to grow.
But this time, Wei Jiuduan had said that he would help him cripple Li Tianhao and gain face for him. The two prefectures under Cai Jingsheng's command would be his. He hadn't expected Wei Jiuduan to change his mind after the matter.
In front of Chu Xiu, no matter what, Wei Jiuduan was still his superior. He was also a great expert at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. Yet, he was playing this game with his subordinate. This was no longer a shameful matter. Instead, it would cause his subordinates to be divided. It could only be said that Chu Xiu had overestimated Wei Jiuduan's shamelessness.
Or rather, Wei Jiuduan did not care about anything now. As long as there were benefits, he dared to sell anything.
Everyone present was on the same side, so Chu Xiu did not hide it and directly told everyone about this matter. This caused Du Guangzhong and the others to look at each other.
To be honest, there were not many people who could do what Wei Jiuduan did. If such a person established a sect, the sect's strength would definitely weaken as it developed.
But the problem was that Wei Jiuduan was now the Disciplinary Officer. Even if he was shameless and did not keep his word, the others could not do anything about it.
After all, what Wei Jiuduan had given Chu Xiu was only a verbal promise. Moreover, even if it was a written promise, it would be useless. Could Chu Xiu take the written promise to Guan Siyu to reason things out? That would be the behavior of an idiot.
Was the position of Patrol something that could be casually given out in a bet? Were they treating the Guanzhong Torture Room as a joke? At that time, both Wei Jiuduan and Chu Xiu would be punished.
However, they were certain that Chu Xiu would not let this matter rest just like that. He did not have the habit of swallowing his grievances, nor did he have the habit of swallowing his grievances.
Chu Xiu asked with a dark expression, "You say that Wei Changling is from the Nine Plains Wei Family? Is it Wei Hanshan's Nine Plains Wei Family? "
Du Guangzhong nodded and said, "Yes, that Nine Plains Wei Family."
Previously, Chu Xiu had heard Du Guangzhong say that Wei Hanshan seemed to be the illegitimate child of the Guanxi Nine Plains Wei Family. He was able to sit in the position of Patrol Inspector partly due to the support of the Nine Plains Wei Family.
Later, when Chu Xiu killed Wei Hanshan, the Nine Plains Wei Family did not jump out to make trouble for him. Now, it seemed that the Nine Plains Wei Family did not care about the death of an illegitimate child of Wei Hanshan. Or in their view, this matter had nothing to do with Chu Xiu.
But now that Wei Hanshan was dead, the Nine Plains Wei Family wanted to raise another person to enter the Guanzhong Torture Room. Coincidentally, Cai Jingsheng's old injuries had relapsed and gave them a chance.
At this time, a Jianghu constable knocked on the door. He said that Wei Jiuduan had sent news that Chu Xiu had returned and wanted Chu Xiu to go over.
Chu Xiu sneered upon hearing this. "It seems that Official Wei has been paying attention to me at all times. This time, I want to see what excuse Wei Jiuduan, that old bastard, will come up with."
Du Guangzhong and the others did not seem to hear Chu Xiu use the term "old bastard" to describe Wei Jiuduan. With Chu Xiu's temper, if he had the power, it would be normal for him to kill Wei Jiuduan on the spot.
After changing his clothes, Chu Xiu went directly to the Guanxi branch. At this time, Ying Prefecture's Inspector Fang Hua, Lin Prefecture's Inspector Situ Xing, Lin Prefecture's Inspector Jiang Taoran, and Yang Ling were all there.
Seeing Chu Xiu enter, the four of them stood up and greeted Chu Xiu. They congratulated Chu Xiu for bringing glory to the Guanzhong Torture Room at the God Weapon Conference and for entering the top ten of the Longhu List.
In the past, when Chu Xiu first came to Guanxi, he was just an inspector without any foundation. But now, Chu Xiu was the dazzling number one among the younger generation of the Guanzhong Torture Room. Even Guan Siyu's personal disciple, Yuchi, was ranked below Chu Xiu.
Back then, they could rely on their seniority to ignore Chu Xiu. But now, they had to take the initiative to greet Chu Xiu.
Among them, Jiang Taoran also had the strength of the Three Flower Realm, but how could an ordinary Three Flower Realm warrior like him compare to Chu Xiu, who was in the top ten of the Longhu List?
However, at this time, Chu Xiu's expression was a little ugly.
In fact, although Chu Xiu was angry, it was easy for him to not show his emotions. His expression was just for Wei Jiuduan to see.
After exchanging a few words with the crowd, Wei Jiuduan also walked in with a Three Flower Realm warrior.
This Three Flower Realm warrior was about 40 years old and had a small mustache. After seeing Chu Xiu, a strange look appeared in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Everyone stood up and said in unison, "Greetings, Sir."
Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu with a slightly unnatural gaze. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, sit down. I called everyone here today mainly to welcome Chu Xiu. He represented the Guanzhong torture room in the God Weapon Conference. In the outside world, this is the glory of the Guanzhong torture room, but in the Guanzhong torture room, it is also the glory of the Guanxi region. As for the second reason, there is a new inspector in the Guanxi region, Wei Changling. He will take over Cai Jingsheng's position. At that time, you, Chu Xiu, were in Eastern Qi, so you did not have the time to meet him. Today is a good time to make up for it. From now on, you will be colleagues, and you must work together sincerely. "
However, at this time, Chu Xiu suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sir, this is not urgent. I still have some matters regarding this God Weapon Conference that I want to report to you alone."
Wei Jiuduan frowned, but since Chu Xiu had said so, he could only say, "Alright, then come in with me."
After bringing Chu Xiu into a private secret room, Wei Jiuduan asked, "What do you want to say?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Do you not know what I want to say, Sir Wei? Why are the two state capitals that should belong to me now in Wei Changling's hands? "
Feeling the unfriendliness in Chu Xiu's tone, Wei Jiuduan snorted coldly and said, "Chu Xiu, are you questioning me?"
Chu Xiu said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "This subordinate just wants justice."
Seeing Chu Xiu's attitude, Wei Jiuduan was furious, but he did not act out on the spot.
Right now, Chu Xiu's status was different. It could be said that Chu Xiu was not just an inspector of Guanxi, but the top person of the younger generation of the Guanzhong Torture Room. He represented the Guanzhong Torture Room in the jianghu.
If Wei Jiuduan dared to punish Chu Xiu at this time, or take away his position, this kind of mistreatment of a meritorious official would alarm Guan Siyu.
In order to prevent the people of the Guanzhong Torture Room from being dissatisfied, it would be Wei Jiuduan's bad luck then.
Wei Jiuduan did not want to cause trouble when he was about to retire, so he sighed and said, "Chu Xiu, you have to understand my difficulties. Do you think I want to keep Wei Changling? I was forced to do so.
Wei Hanshan was the illegitimate child of the Nine-Crystal Wei Family. Although he was only an illegitimate child, the Nine-Crystal Wei Family had invested a lot in him. Now that Wei Hanshan was dead, how could the Nine-Crystal Wei Family be willing to accept it?
You do not know, in the past, you and Wei Hanshan were at odds. In reality, the Wei Family had prepared to deal with you, but I stopped them.
Later, the Wei Family proposed a condition for me to take out one of Cai Jingsheng's state capitals and support a direct descendant of the Wei Family to be the inspector.
I agreed to their condition so the Wei Family did not come to make trouble for you. Otherwise, do you think the Wei Family would be so peaceful? "
At this point, Wei Jiuduan's tone changed to one of earnest persuasion. "However, you don't need to be unwilling. I only gave the Wei family a prefecture. Cai Jingsheng still has another prefecture under his command. That is yours."
