With Yang Ling as a spy, Chu Xiu's words caused the other inspectors present to stand on his side.
Chu Xiu wanted authority in the Guanxi region, while the others wanted benefits. There was no conflict between the two.
The only one who had a conflict with him was Wei Changling. But now that the situation was set, Wei Changling could not cause any trouble.
Everyone present looked towards Wei Changling. The pressure made Wei Changling not dare to say anything, or even retort.
Wei Changling glared hatefully at the people present. In the end, he could only say, "Alright, alright, since you have decided, do not regret it!"
Finishing, Wei Changling turned and left.
The arm could not twist the thigh. This matter was not something he could control. If Chu Xiu wanted to dominate Guanxi, the Nine Plains Wei Family would be the first to not agree!
Chu Xiu looked at the people present and said with a smile, "Just a small trouble. Everyone, do not worry. Do not worry, as long as you pretend to be deaf and dumb during this time, and do not care about the affairs of your prefectures, a month later, you will receive more things."
Fang Hua and the others helplessly nodded their heads. Since they have already agreed to Chu Xiu's conditions, they naturally don't need to think too much about it. After the discussion, everyone directly bid farewell and left.
On the surface, Yang Ling wanted to return to his Shangzhou government, but after a round, he returned to the Jianzhou government's hall.
"Congratulations, Official. If this matter succeeds, in the future, you will be the most powerful inspector in Guanxi after Wei Jiuduan," Yang Ling said respectfully to Chu Xiu.
In front of other people, he was an inspector on equal footing with Chu Xiu, but in front of Chu Xiu, he did not forget his identity.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "There is still the last hurdle. It is not so easy. Just watch, some people are fated to cause trouble."
Yang Ling said hesitantly, "You mean Wei Changling? Do you need us to deal with him in secret? "
Killing a colleague without permission was a taboo in the Guanzhong torture room, but Chu Xiu had already done such a thing more than once. Even Yang Ling was a little used to it, so it was not a big deal to do it again.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Wei Changling is just a minor character. If we kill Wei Changling, the Nine Plains Wei Family can push out another Wei Changling."
Yang Ling frowned and said, "Then does Sir mean to directly attack the Nine Plains Wei Family?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "That day will come. However, it is not now. Now, we will have to see what attitude that foster father of yours has."
Hearing that, Yang Ling could not help but reveal a disdainful smile. He had served his foster father for so many years, how could he not know his character?
He had really been blind back then. He had really thought that he had managed to latch onto Wei Jiuduan's thigh. In the end, it was a thigh that was completely stingy.
After Wei Changling left the Jianzhou government, he did not return to his own government, but headed straight for the Nine Plains Wei Family.
The Nine Plains Wei Family was in the Nine Plains government at the border of Guandong and Guanxi. However, it was not in the government, but outside the government, in a sizable manor.
The patriarch of the Wei Family had the power of the Five Energies Towards Yuan, comparable to an inspector like Fang Hua, and more than one.
The one who truly gave the Wei Family such a status was the Wei Family's ancestor. He was a great expert who was one with the world, but he was not young. It was said that he was of the same generation as Wei Jiuduan, but he had long since stopped fighting. He only stayed in the Wei Family to cultivate his character and intimidate the small fries.
At this time, Wei Changling returned directly to the Wei Family. The Wei Family disciples who came and went did not have very respectful expressions when they saw him.
The Wei Family was a large family in Guanzhong. At their peak, the family had even produced martial grandmasters. But later on, they declined slightly.
So the Wei Family did not fear the Guanzhong torture room like the other martial sects in Guanzhong. They could not bear to throw their direct disciples into the Guanzhong torture room. Wei Changling was a branch disciple, but he was one of the more outstanding of the branch disciples.
Walking to the door of the Wei Family residence, Wei Changling bowed and said, "Wei Changling requests an audience with the patriarch."
The Wei Family disciple guarding the door reported and then led Wei Changling in.
The patriarch of the Wei Family, Wei Moqu, was a middle-aged man with scholarly features. However, he had a dignified expression and was much more imposing than Forefather Luo and the others.
This was the foundation of the Wei Family. While the Wei Family had declined, they still had the rules of a large family.
"What is it? But what trouble did Chu Xiu cause? Didn't I tell you last time that Chu Xiu is in the limelight right now, do not provoke him for now. The higher you stand, the worse you will fall. We only need to watch quietly, watch him rise, watch his building collapse. That is enough. "
Wei Moqu spoke unhurriedly with a carefree look on his face.
In these years, there had been inspectors and even a few torture officers who had wanted to make trouble for the Wei Family.
The result? The inspectors flowed like water, the Wei Family made of iron. The Wei Family had established themselves in Guanzhong even earlier than the history of the Guanzhong torture room. Those inspectors and torture officers had disappeared long ago. The Wei Family still stood here. It could be said that from the beginning, the Wei Family did not think much of Chu Xiu.
Wei Changling said with grief and indignation, "Family Master, this time, I did not provoke Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu is ambitious and wants to swallow all the businesses in Guanxi. This is destroying the foundation of the Wei Family!"
The smuggling business was so large that the Wei Family had naturally done it before. When Wei Changling recounted everything to Wei Moqu in detail, Wei Moqu's face darkened and he faintly felt anger.
The Wei Family had been in Guanzhong for so long but had never seen such an arrogant inspector.
Wei Moqu waved his hand and said, "Alright, you do not need to worry about this matter. I will handle it personally."
Wei Changling sighed in relief and left.
After sending Wei Changling away, Wei Moqu went to the backyard of the Wei Family. While this was only a yard, it was half the size of the Wei Family. There were all kinds of spirit flowers and herbs planted here, and the spirit energy was dense.
At this time, in the center of the backyard, an old man dressed in white robes was meditating on a meditation mat. His aura was restrained to the extreme, as though he was a dead person.
When Wei Moqu walked in, the old man opened his eyes. A sharp light shone out and he said coolly, "Did something major happen outside?"
This old man was the forefather of the Wei Family. He had been cultivating here for more than a decade, but in terms of spirit, he was better than Wei Jiuduan.
Once a martial artist reached an old age, it was inevitable that their vitality would decline.
This was why the forefather of the Wei Family had chosen to delegate most of the family's matters and then go into seclusion to study Daoist scriptures. He cultivated and nurtured his mind in order to slow down his aging.
Needless to say, this method was somewhat useful. At the very least, the forefather of the Wei Family looked better than Wei Jiuduan.
After all, while Wei Jiuduan's position as the penal officer was relatively easy, he still had to worry about all kinds of matters and schemes every day. His effort consumption was definitely greater than that of the forefather of the Wei Family.
Wei Moqu said, "Something happened."
As he said that, Wei Moqu told the forefather of the Wei Family what had happened.
In the end, Wei Moqu said, "This matter is tricky because the other party is Chu Xiu. He is the Chu Xiu who made great contributions to the Guanzhong Torture Room. If it was an ordinary Patrol Inspector, it wouldn't be a problem for us to get rid of him secretly. But now that it's Chu Xiu, we can't act blindly without thinking. "
The forefather of the Wei Family pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Blow up the matter."
Wei Moqu was stunned. He then asked, "Blow up the matter?"
The forefather of the Wei Family said in a deep voice, "Go to the Yuan Continent's Zhang Family. The two of us will take action together and blow up the matter to the extent that Wei Jiuduan has no choice but to come out and suppress it. But remember to act appropriately. If we cripple or kill Chu Xiu, our Wei Family will also be out of luck.
Although Wei Jiuduan is old and looks useless now, he is still a torture officer. Before he retires, he doesn't want to make a big fuss. If he doesn't care about this matter, who will?
Remember, it's best to let the people from the Guanzhong Torture Room deal with the people from the Guanzhong Torture Room themselves. This is also the reason why I want you to stuff the disciples of the Wei Family into the Guanzhong Torture Room. "
Wei Moqu quickly said, "Yes, I will do it now."
The forefather was indeed the forefather. He immediately pointed out the crux of the matter.
Although the forefather of the Wei Family wasn't from the Guanzhong Torture Room, his understanding of the Guanzhong Torture Room was probably deeper than some of the martial artists from the Guanzhong Torture Room.
So after leaving, Wei Moqu directly brought his men to the Yuan Continent's Zhang Family. He was prepared to join forces with the Zhang Family to stir up some trouble.
There were countless sects and aristocratic families in the land of Guanxi. However, other than the Wei Family, only the Yuan Continent's Zhang Family could be considered as a big family. Among them, the forefather of the Zhang Family was also a great expert in the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Man.
In the past, the Wei Family and the Zhang Family also had some grudges and friction. However, both sides knew that in the land of Guanzhong, the Guanzhong Torture Room dominated. If they didn't join forces, it was estimated that every torture officer would cut off their flesh. So it was common for the two families to cooperate.
After arriving at the Zhang Family, Wei Moqu stated his intention. The head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Kunze, was a tall and burly man with a face full of curly beard. He looked more like a bandit than the head of an aristocratic family. He said, "Since the forefather of the Wei Family has spoken, I will personally accompany you. To be honest, I really want to see what kind of person Chu Xiu is. In just a few years, he was able to make such a name for himself in the pugilistic world. I hope he isn't the kind of person who deceives the world to gain fame! "
