Actually, this time, Su Xin really didn't want to trick Zhou Guoguo. Su Xin also had people in the Zhou Kingdom. He now clearly knew what the Zhou Kingdom's mentality towards the Emperor Heaven Domain was.
The Zhou Kingdom was already extremely wary of the Emperor Heaven Domain. If it wasn't for Jiang Yuanzhen being too conservative and not daring to make a move, both sides would have already started fighting. Right now, what Su Xin wanted to do was just to add fuel to the fire and bring forward the war.
Su Xin didn't want his own force to be the main attacker. After experiencing those things in the ancient times, Great Heaven Devil Venerable had also become extremely cautious. In that case, Su Xin could only find another target.
At this moment, in the Shadow Guard branch of Jiangnan Path, a Harmonious God Realm Shadow Guard expert was standing in front of Su Xin and reporting the situation to Su Xin respectfully.
In fact, the Shadow Guard didn't set up branches in all 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom like Six Doors did. The entire Shadow Guard only had some people in charge of intelligence in the 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom. Only some important places would be established by the Zhou Kingdom.
At this moment, Jiangnan Path gathered the Xiao Family and the Emperor Heaven Domain. Such an important place naturally needed many experts of the Shadow Guard to supervise it for a long time. Therefore, the Shadow Guard branch in Jiangnan Path wasn't considered weak.
The Harmonious God Realm expert in front of him was called Du Xiao. He was a subordinate of Su Xin when he was the chief constable in Shengjing City. He used to be a Wind Chaser Patrol Officer. However, because of his rebellious personality, he offended the chief constable and was banished from the ranks of the Wind Chaser Patrol Officer. Then, he was thrown under Su Xin.
However, this person still had the strength and ability. Furthermore, after that incident, his unruly and unruly character had been restrained a lot, and he had become more composed.
After Su Xin fell out with Zhou Guoguo, Du Xiao also joined the Shadow Guard. Over the years, with the support of the Shadow Guard's resources and his own ability, he quickly stood out. Two years ago, he officially became the commander of the Shadow Guard in Jiangnan, responsible for supervising the affairs of Jiangnan.
At this moment, Su Xin rapped on the table and asked, "What's the strength and character of the people sent by the Jiangnan Society to the imperial court?"
A hint of disdain appeared in Du Xiao's eyes as he said, "Ever since you, Lord Li Bo, and the others left Jiangnan, the Six Fan School of Jiangnan has been under the control of the imperial court once again. However, the people who come are getting worse and worse.
The current chief constable of Jiangnan is called Zhang Dongping. He only has the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm. Although he had reached the Divine Transformation Realm at the age of 30, he was like a silver spear tip made of wax. He looked good but was useless. He was greedy and lustful, cowardly and brainless. He was good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Before taking over as the chief constable of Jiangnan, he didn't even have the resume of a Wind Chaser Patrol Officer or a secret agent of the Bureau of Investigation, nor did he have the experience of being in charge. When he first came to Jiangnan, he messed up the arrangement of the imperial court in Jiangnan. Fortunately, there were some experienced constables left by you when you were in charge of Jiangnan, Lord Su. That was why the Six Fan School of Jiangnan was able to run normally. "
Su Xin frowned and said, "In this case, how did he become the chief constable of Jiangnan?"
There were strict rules for the appointment of a chief constable in the Six Fan School. Those who could become a chief constable were either Wind Chaser Patrol Officer or a secret agent of the Bureau of Investigation, or they were promoted step by step from low-level state constables, state chief constable, first chief constable, deputy chief constable, and first chief constable.
In the beginning, Su Xin could become a chief constable with the cultivation of the Innate Realm because Tie Zhan made an exception and promoted him. The most important thing was that Su Xin had the identity of a Wind Chaser Patrol Officer and had completed the task very well. Otherwise, if he had no resume or merit in the Six Fan School to prove his ability, even Tie Zhan would not promote him to be a chief constable of the Six Fan School.
Jiangnan was not a barren place like Sanxiang or Hannan, where they could just send someone to fool them. What was the Six Fan School thinking? How could they send such a good-for-nothing to be the chief constable of the Jiangnan?
Du Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Dongping's father is a senior chief constable of the Bureau of Investigation in the Six Fan School. With Zhang Dongping's ability, it would be bad to put him in the ranks of Wind Chaser Patrol Officer and secret agent of the Bureau of Investigation. Therefore, after Zhang Dongping's father used the resources he had accumulated for half a lifetime to push Zhang Dongping to the Divine Transformation Realm, he worked in the Six Fan School and wanted him to be a chief constable of the Jiangnan.
However, Zhang Dongping's father originally wanted him to go to a barren place like Hannan to be a chief constable. I don't know what happened, but he actually sent him to the Jiangnan. "
Su Xin knocked on the table. He kind of knew why the Six Fan School sent such a good-for-nothing to be the chief constable of the Jiangnan. In fact, it was for stability.
The Zhou Kingdom was also extremely afraid of the Imperial Heaven Domain, so they didn't want to act rashly. It was fine to send an outstanding chief constable, but the more capable a person was, the easier it was to cause some trouble. It was better to send a good-for-nothing like Zhang Dongping, which would be safer.
Du Xiao continued, "Not only is the chief constable of the Six Fan School of Jiangnan a good-for-nothing, but even the chief constable of Jiangnan is the same.
After the original chief constable of Jiangnan, Gu Donglai, was transferred, the imperial court sent another chief constable of Jiangnan, Chen Zhongli. This person also had the strength of the Harmonious God Realm, but he was already old.
He was the first martial artist who followed the Zhou Kingdom to stir up trouble in Sanxiang, but for so many years, he had never made any contributions. He completely relied on time to get to his current position.
After he became the chief constable of Jiangnan, he only did three things. The first was to collect gold and silver treasures, the second was to collect secret treasures that could prolong one's life, and the last was to build a luxurious chief constable's mansion, where he could enjoy life in peace and ignore all the affairs of the Jianghu. "
Hearing Du Xiao's words, Su Xin completely understood the plan of the Zhou Kingdom. In a sensitive place like Jiangnan, the Zhou Kingdom really didn't want to have a conflict with the Imperial Heaven Domain here.
Su Xin asked Du Xiao, "You just said that there are still a lot of old people in the Six Fan School of Jiangnan when I was in charge of Jiangnan?"
Du Xiao nodded, "There are still dozens of them. Although these people are a bit weak and didn't join the Shadow Guard with you, they are still old people who have followed you for a period of time, so they are still capable. Now, they are all at the level of the chief constables of the prefecture, and two of them are even the deputy chief constables of Jiangnan.
Zhang Dongping also knows that he is trash, so he relies on these two deputy chief constables a lot. "
A hint of coldness appeared in Su Xin's eyes, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, focus on stability, and don't let anyone discover your existence."
With that, Su Xin told Du Xiao about the series of plans he had come up with.
This was not a mission like Su Zichen's, where he had to walk on thin ice and risk his life to complete it. Du Xiao only needed to hide behind the scenes. As for Su Xin, he naturally had to hide at the back.
After nightfall, the deputy chief constables of Jiangnan, Pang Chong, and Li Jing left the yamen of Six Doors and went to a restaurant they often went to. They asked for a private room and started drinking.
They weren't plotting anything. They were just bored and wanted to vent their frustrations.
Pang Chong directly poured a bowl of wine, then gulped it down without saying a word. He let out a breath that reeked of alcohol, "Damn it! What is this? Why did the imperial court send such a piece of trash to be the chief constables of our Jiangnan? "
Pang Chong used to be a bandit, but he later joined Six Doors after he was recruited by Su Xin.
Although he had been a member of the imperial court for more than ten years, he still could not change some of the temper from when he was a bandit.
Li Jing, on the other hand, was relatively older. His father was the chief constable of Six Doors, and it was still the same for his generation. He could be considered a veteran of Six Doors, so he was relatively calm in his actions.
When he heard Pang Chong's words, he quickly said, "Brother Pang! Be careful with your words! You're not even drunk yet, and you're already spouting nonsense? "
A look of disdain appeared on Pang Chong's face as he said, "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think that piece of trash will keep an eye on our movements? Don't worry, even if our brothers from the Intelligence Bureau heard it, no one will tell on him.
Think about how mighty we were when we were serving under Lord Su. We dominated Jiangnan, and all the sects, big and small, were polite to us when they saw us.
But now? Ever since that piece of trash came to Jiangnan, he has caused a foul atmosphere in the entire Jiangnan. Not only did he lose his prestige, he even lost his face!
Brother Li, do you know what I went to do this morning? That piece of trash actually flirted with a female disciple of the Qingping Sword Sect. She came knocking on his door, and only then did he remember to ask me to clean up his mess!
Back when I was the chief constable of Lunan Prefecture, the Qingping Sword Sect was under my jurisdiction. Didn't the sect leader of the Qingping Sword Sect bow and scrape to me every time he saw me? He even sent gold and silver pills to show his filial piety during festivals.
But now, it's my turn to apologize to them, and I have to lower my voice! "
Upon hearing that, Li Jing shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Imperial Heaven Region is powerful now, and they're the ones who have the final say in Jiangnan. On top of that, we have someone like him. The little bit of power that Lord Su accumulated back then has been completely lost in less than a year."
Pang Chong took another big gulp of wine and said, "We only hate that we weren't strong enough back then, and we were hesitant to do things. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if we followed Lord Su and joined the Shadow Guard?
I heard that the Shadow Guard's power is not inferior to Six Doors now. They're even more majestic in the pugilistic world. No one dares to disobey them when they wipe out sects and families! "
Just as the two of them were complaining, a voice suddenly came from outside the house, "Since both of you still remember Lord Su's kindness, the Shadow Guard has a mission for you. I wonder if you dare to do it?"
As soon as he said that, Du Xiao pushed the door open and entered. He revealed a faint smile as he looked at Pang Chong and Li Jing who were stunned.
