Chapter 344 Layout
Guan Siyu looked at Chu Xiu with a little surprise. He seemed to have never expected Chu Xiu to be able to see so far.
For the chief officer, all they can see is the area under their jurisdiction. As long as the district under their jurisdiction is managed well, the chief officer will be qualified.
For the masters of Guanzhong Punishment Hall in all dynasties, it was easy for them to see this, and even every generation of the masters are working hard to get rid of this predicament of Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
But it is not easy for Chu Xiu, a young man who has just joined the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, to see this.
After pondering for a moment, Guan Siyu said in a deep voice: "Chu Xiu, you know the rules of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished.
This time you took the initiative to ask for it. There will be no reward if you do it well. But if you can't do it, it will affect the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall. The position of the Punishment Officer you just got may not be guaranteed."
Chu Xiugong bowed and said, "Since I am a member of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, I naturally have to consider the interests of the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall. If everyone wants to protect themselves and do not explore, then the Guanzhong Punishment Hall will be worse than the previous generation."
Chu Xiu said this with enthusiasm, but Guan Siyu didn't know whether what Chu Xiu said was true or false.
However, it is a good thing for Chu Xiu to be enterprising. Even if he considers it for his own interests, once he succeeds in the end, the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall will make a profit.
Guan Siyu said in a deep voice: "Since you have an idea, then go and do it, but I will still remind you in the end and think twice."
Chu Xiugong bowed and said, "Yes, thank you Lord."
After saying that, Chu Xiu left directly.
When he came to Guan Siyu, he just found a suitable reason to arrange it around Diyang Mountain. In fact, Chu Xiu didn't like that little territory.
The land of Western Chu is densely forested and mountains, and the first important road leading to Western Chu in Guanxi is Diyang Mountain.
However, it is precisely because there is a mountain in the middle that most of them are not very spacious mountain roads, and there are only a few small towns around them, but there are not too many state capitals.
There are several forces around the entire Diyang Mountain, most of which are small sects and small families. But in fact, these so-called sects and families secretly colluded with bandits and bandits to rob, and some of them were even bandits and bandits themselves.
However, most of the merchants who came from Western Chu to Guanzhong Punishment Hall also had the background of martial arts forces in Western Chu, and it was not easy to mess with, so they just picked up some soft persimmons and lived a comfortable life.
In a village west of Diyang Mountain, Yang Tingwei, the head of the Yang family of Hengdao Villa, looked at the Honu in front of him and frowned.
Honu suddenly came to visit as the head of the Guanzhong Zhengtang Jianghu, which surprised Yang Ting very much.
Although this area around Diyang Mountain is not the border of Western Chu, it is not the territory of Guanzhong Punishment Hall. It is densely covered with mountains and forests, and it is not suitable for establishing too large prefectures, so Guanzhong Punishment Hall used to look down on this place.
However, due to the strength of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Yang Tingwei bowed and said, "I wonder what is the price for Lord Honu coming to my Hengdao Villa? But do you want to buy weapons?"
The Yang family in Hengdao Villa is similar to some small forces around Diyang Mountain, and they all have several identities.
On the surface, the Yang family in Hengdao Villa is engaged in a business of buying and selling weapons. The quality of the horizontal sword forged by the Yang family is very good. Although it is only a second- and third-turn ordinary soldier, it is sharp and strong, and the price is fair.
But if the caravans around Hengdao Villa were very weak and the goods they carried were very attractive, they wouldn't mind making guest appearances as bandits and killing people and robbing people.
Of course, now facing the Honu who represents the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Yang Tingwei has also put away the bandit's temper and is very polite.
Honu bowed casually and said, "Master Yang, I am the leader of the Jianghu under the command of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall and the commander of the Guanxi Punishment Officer, Lord Chu Xiuchu. This time I came here not to do business with you, but to notify you of something.
At noon three days later, in Dongyang Building, Qingshan Town at the foot of Diyang Mountain, my family invited the various forces around Diyang Mountain to drink and discuss matters, and the Lord Yang Zhuang should not be late."
Yang Tingwei frowned and said, "Chu Xiu? He is the chief criminal in Guanxi. What's the matter with us?"
Honu said lightly: "These things are not something I can know. Anyway, my master has already invited you. Whether Master Yang comes or not depends entirely on his mood.
Of course, I don’t know the consequences of not coming, as long as you think about it clearly, you can think about it clearly.”
Yang Tingwei's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. The threatening meaning in Honu's tone was too obvious.
However, Yang Tingwei still held back this breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will go then!"
Hengdao Villa is not a very powerful force. The head of his family only has the outer gang realm, and I am afraid that even the Hour slaves in front of him can't beat them.
As Diyang Mountain is so close to Guanxi, the merchants who came and went to bring the news about Guanxi Land long ago to the surrounding Diyang Mountain. They also learned that Wei Jiuduan had died and Chu Xiu became the new chief criminal.
Faced with such a terrifying existence who can easily kill a master of the unity of man and nature, Yang Tingwei dared not refuse, nor did he have the strength to refuse.
Things like Hengdao Villa happened among all the forces in every corner of Diyang Mountain, which was also one of Chu Xiu's plans.
This time, Chu Xiu needed to plan the birth of the Tower of Heaven in advance, instead of intrigueing with a bunch of bandits who were not allowed to come here, so he had to solve all these people as quickly as possible, and then go to Diyang Mountain to make peace of mind to wait.
Three days later, in Dongyang Building, the largest restaurant in Qingshan Town, at the foot of Diyang Mountain, more than ten warriors from the outer gang to the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm sat in it, waiting anxiously and nervously.
These people are all martial arts forces that can be taken advantage of around Diyang Mountain, and Chu Xiu personally sent them to inform him. No one dared not come, and no one dared to be late. Instead, they were waiting here early.
These people are not idiots. They don’t know what happened yet, so they offended Chu Xiu, a prisoner in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, who is still among the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger List. That is purely a crazy person who gains and loses his mind.
There was silence in Dongyang Tower. At this time, Yang Tingwei spoke first: "Do you know what happened? Chu Xiu is the chief officer of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, why did he come to my Diyang Mountain?
Boss Chen, do you know any inside information?”
Yang Tingwei turned his gaze to a middle-aged warrior wearing a black robe and a bearded face.
This person is Chen Yun, the leader of Leiyun Village, the "Black Demon Hand", and is the largest bandit village around Diyang Mountain.
Most of these forces around Diyang Mountain are guest-starring bandits, while Chen Yun’s Leiyun Village is a professional bandit, and he can support himself by robbing merchants. It is conceivable how powerful this Leiyun Village is.
In fact, this Leiyun Village is indeed the largest force around Diyang Mountain. Chen Yun himself also has the cultivation level of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm.
At this time, when he heard Yang Tingwei ask, Chen Yun waved his hand and said in a rough voice: "What the hell is Chu Xiu doing? How could I know?
But I only know that Chu Xiu is an outsider at the moment, and we are our own people. As long as we are united and not divided by Chu Xiu, no matter what Chu Xiu wants to do, we will not suffer any loss."
Everyone present nodded and agreed.
But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Everyone in the lobby immediately fell silent and subconsciously sat upright.
Chu Xiu slowly walked into the hall wearing a black robe.
Although his face was the youngest among the people present, the momentum he carried was extremely terrifying. Every step he took seemed to step on everyone's hearts, making them unable to help but feel uneasy.
Walking straight to the main seat, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "My name is Chu Xiu, who is the chief judge of Guanxi under the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. I think you all know me."
Yang Tingwei stood up first and bowed: "Mr. Chu is famous, so we naturally know him. Yang is in Xiahengdao Villa..."
However, before Yang Tingwei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu said coldly: "It's not necessary to introduce himself. I don't have so much time to listen. You just need to know who I am. As for who you are, I don't have time or interest in knowing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Tingwei's face turned red and anger appeared in the eyes of others.
I have seen arrogant people, but they have never seen as arrogant as Chu Xiu!
It was you, Chu Xiu, who called us all, but now you don’t even want to know our names and identities. What is this? Humiliation? I specially brought them here to humiliate them?
However, although these people were resentful, Chu Xiu's identity and reputation were here, and they did not dare to say anything more.
After looking at everyone present, Chu Xiu said lightly: "I came here today just to notify you of something. From today on, all the mountain roads around Diyang Mountain will be included in the scope of Guanzhong Punishment Hall and will be under the jurisdiction of Guanxi. You local martial arts forces will also be supervised by my Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
In the past, I didn’t want to do any thieves’ business. If you don’t overestimate the price, you won’t get any benefits.
Starting from today, you forces have set up checkpoints on the mountain roads around Diyang Mountain and charged tolls. As long as you are a caravan that has paid the toll, you must ensure their safety.
You can discuss the amount of tolls yourself, but 60% of them must be paid to the Kansai branch.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was immediately exploded.
They never expected that Chu Xiu would come this time to recruit them, and even deprive them of all their current interests in just one sentence.
One of the warriors couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "Mr. Chu, are you doing this a little..."
The warrior just stood up and before he finished speaking, Chu Xiu looked over. The Heaven and Earth Destroy Soul Transfer Technique was used, and the powerful mental power was directly injected into the other party's mind. The next moment, the warrior who had only the strength of the external gang realm instantly bleeded in seven orifices, twitched a few times, and fell to the ground and lost his rest!
Looking at the crowd who was silent for a moment, Chu Xiu said in a voice without any emotion: "You are wrong. This time I didn't ask you to discuss the matter, but just notify you.
So what you need to do is obey, and of course you can choose to resist, this is your freedom.”
