The excuse that Chu Xiu had spread was very clumsy, so clumsy that people did not need to analyze it to guess that this was a fantasy story.
People even suspected that it was Chu Xiu who had killed Wei Jiuduan.
This time, people had spread rumors that Wei Jiuduan had allied with the Wei Family to suppress Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu had a reason to act.
However, the only thing people were puzzled about was how Chu Xiu had managed to kill two Unity of Heaven experts. His strength should not be abnormal to such a degree, right?
In any case, this matter had caused an uproar. Everyone in Guanzhong wanted to see how the main hall would handle the matter of Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu appeared very calm at this time. He was still waiting in the provincial government as though he had not killed them.
Three days later, Yuchi rushed over from the main hall, traveling day and night. Seeing Chu Xiu's limited appearance, Yuchi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Brother Chu, you've caused such a huge commotion, yet you can still sit still?"
Chu Xiu had someone pour a cup of tea for Yuchi. He said coolly, "I have a clear conscience. Why can't I sit still?"
Yuchi took a step closer and said gravely, "Brother Chu, you really did not kill Wei Jiuduan?"
Chu Xiu said with a serious expression, "Brother Yuchi, you also suspect me? While I have conflicts with Wei Jiuduan, he is still my superior. How can I, Chu Xiu, do such a disgraceful thing? "
Yuchi looked suspiciously at Chu Xiu. In any case, he did not believe Chu Xiu's words. However, he had not thought that Chu Xiu would tell him the truth.
Yuchi said gravely, "Brother Chu, you know how much trouble you have caused this time. Right now, the hall master has sent me to inform you to go to the main hall for questioning. The main hall will send people to investigate Wei Jiuduan's death and the Wei Family's matter. Come with me now. Of course, don't think about escaping. After Wei Jiuduan's death, the experts of the Criminal Division immediately sealed off the roads to Guanzhong. You cannot escape. "
Chu Xiu smiled freely and said, "I, Chu Xiu, have a clear conscience. Why should I escape?"
Yuchi looked deeply at Chu Xiu and said, "I hope so. Since Brother Chu has a clear conscience, then come with me to the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall to be interrogated. We have to leave now. I hope Brother Chu will not make things difficult for me."
Yuchi's attitude toward Chu Xiu did not change much because he was not sure if Chu Xiu could make it through this time.
If it was someone else who had killed their superior, they would certainly be heavily punished. The lightest punishment would be having their martial arts crippled and being imprisoned in the Black Dungeon for the rest of their lives.
But if this person was Chu Xiu, then things would be different.
With Chu Xiu's strength and talent, he had already become the face of the Guanzhong Torture Room. In the end, the Guanzhong Torture Room wanted to punish him. One reason was that it was a pity, and the other was that it felt like slapping his own face. So until the end, no one knew what Chu Xiu's fate would be.
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Don't worry. Since I have a clear conscience, I will not make things difficult for Brother Yuchi."
Yuchi shrugged his shoulders. Whether Chu Xiu really had a clear conscience, only Chu Xiu himself knew. Anyway, his task was only to bring Chu Xiu to the main hall. He didn't care about anything else.
However, according to Yuchi's understanding of Chu Xiu, although this person was a little crazy in some things, he was definitely not an idiot. Chu Xiu would not do something like putting himself in danger.
Looking at Chu Xiu's calm appearance, could it be that he was already confident?
The news that Chu Xiu followed Yuchi to the headquarters spread quickly. Of course, this was also the reason why Chu Xiu did not ask the Ghost Hand King and the others to cover up the news.
As soon as this news came out, there was a sudden burst of discussion in the Guanxi area. Of course, there were also some people who secretly carried out all kinds of small tricks.
Among the Patrol Envoys of the Guanxi Region, Yang Ling was already Chu Xiu's man. Furthermore, he was a witness of this incident and was also Wei Jiuduan's adopted son. Yang Ling had long been summoned to the headquarters alone.
Fang Hua and Situ Xing did not think much of it after hearing the news. They were not young anymore, and their ambitions were not that big. Although they were also afraid of the fact that Wei Jiuduan had died in the hands of Chu Xiu, they did not dare to have any other thoughts.
As for the remaining one, Jiang Taoran, he was secretly making some small moves.
Jiang Taoran only had the strength of the Three Flower Realm. Even if Wei Jiuduan died, Chu Xiu could not return to Guanxi, and he could not be the Penal Officer.
However, Jiang Taoran really did not want Chu Xiu to return to Guanxi. The reason was very simple: he could not accept Chu Xiu's strength.
Although Jiang Taoran was low-key and slippery, he was actually a scheming person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to snatch a prefecture from the hands of Chu Xiu and Wei Hanshan during their fierce battle, and then reap the benefits.
Previously, Chu Xiu's move to control the business lifeline of the entire Guanxi area had already made him very dissatisfied.
Although Chu Xiu didn't let them suffer a loss and still gave them a large portion of the profits, Jiang Taoran was still dissatisfied. He was a Patrol Inspector, but in the end, he was like a puppet. He had no prestige at all. How could that be?
He was not old guys like Situ Xing and Fang Hua, who had no ambition. As long as there were benefits, everything was negotiable.
Therefore, Jiang Taoran secretly spread the news that Chu Xiu had killed Wei Jiuduan and that this time, he would be severely punished by the Guanzhong Torture Room. He tried to stir up the momentum in Guanxi and add fuel to the fire, so that Chu Xiu would not be able to return.
However, Jiang Taoran was cautious by nature, and he was very careful. He only added fuel to the fire in the dark, and he did not dare to show himself.
Compared to Jiang Taoran, there were people who did things more directly, such as the Zhang family of Yuan Continent.
The Zhang family of Yuan Continent was the only big family in Guanxi that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Wei family of Jiuyuan. The Zhang family's Great Ancestor, Zhang Wanshan, also had the strength of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, but he was older than the Wei family's Great Ancestor.
Zhang Wanshan was already more than 180 years old this year. Although warriors in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm could theoretically live up to 200 years, this was only in theory.
Warriors often had to face all kinds of killings in the pugilistic world. It was extremely cruel, and it was common for them to be seriously injured. When they fought with their lives on the line, they would even have to burn their blood essence.
Although this kind of injury could be recovered in the later stages, it would still leave behind some hidden dangers. When a warrior's Qi and blood declined, it would gradually erupt. Therefore, there were actually not many warriors who could live up to 200 years old at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. It was already not easy for the Zhang family's Great Ancestor to live to this age.
At this time, the Zhang family's Zhang Kunze was reporting to Zhang Wanshan about Chu Xiu with a serious expression.
Zhang Wanshan was wearing a golden brocade robe. His hair and beard were all white, but his face was still rosy. Although he was old, he was still a distance away from the end of his lifespan.
After listening to Zhang Kunze's narration, after a while, Zhang Wanshan asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of this matter?"
Zhang Kunze hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be a good thing. The Wei family has been fighting with our Zhang family for so many years. Now that the Wei family has finally been destroyed, Chu Xiu was summoned to the headquarters this time. I reckon he's in trouble. Our Zhang family should be rising."
Zhang Wanshan shook his head when he heard that. "Without the lips, the teeth will feel the cold! You only saw the Wei family fighting with our Zhang family for so many years, but you didn't see the mutual support between our Zhang family and the Wei family all these years.
Guanzhong torture room is Guanzhong torture room, and our pugilistic world forces are pugilistic world forces. No matter how we fight with the Wei family, we are on the same side. As long as Guanzhong torture room goes overboard, our two families can put down all the grudges and join hands at any time.
Now that the Wei family has been destroyed, it's equivalent to losing half of the people to bear the pressure for our Zhang family. If anything happens in the future, our Zhang family will have to bear it alone. "
Zhang Kunze broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he was still young and could not see as far as Zhang Wanshan.
"Then, Great Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Zhang Wanshan said in a deep voice, "We can't let Chu Xiu return to Guanxi!
You know Chu Xiu's character. He's ambitious and domineering. This time, we don't know what methods he used, but Wei Jiuduan and Wei Hanshan actually died in his hands.
Our Zhang family has had conflicts with Chu Xiu before. If we let him return to Guanxi, what will happen to our Zhang family? We will probably become the second Wei family! "
Zhang Kunze hesitated. "But how can our Zhang family influence the headquarters? My Zhang family doesn't have anyone in the headquarters. "
Zhang Wanshan said in a deep voice, "We don't have anyone there, and we don't need them to do anything. Go and gather all the forces that have a good relationship with our Zhang family. Let's write a joint petition and request Guanzhong torture room to punish Chu Xiu! What the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall wants is stability. Right now, Chu Xiu's existence has already caused the Guanxi region to be unstable. As long as we create a large enough commotion, even the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall will not be able to ignore it! "
Zhang Kunze nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The Great Ancestor was indeed the Great Ancestor. He was indeed far-sighted.
In the martial world, there were some things that could be solved even if one didn't rely on fighting and killing. Just like now, the Zhang family only needed to move their lips, and they could increase the pressure on Chu Xiu in the main hall!
At this time, Chu Xiu still did not know about the changes in Guanxi.
After arriving at Guanzhong City, Chu Yuansheng personally came to pick up Chu Xiu.
Seeing Chu Xiu, Chu Yuansheng sighed and said, "Brother Chu, how did things become like this? Did you really kill Wei Jiuduan? "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Big Brother, don't you believe me? I, Chu Xiu, have always been a person who doesn't offend others if they don't offend me. I was forced to do this. "
Chu Xiu did not say that he killed Wei Jiuduan, but he also did not say that he did not kill Wei Jiuduan. However, psychologically, Chu Yuansheng was on Chu Xiu's side.
His life was saved by Chu Xiu, and although Chu Xiu had always been extremely ruthless, it seemed that Chu Xiu had never taken the initiative to attack him.
So subconsciously, Chu Yuansheng was still on Chu Xiu's side.
