But Qiu Tu, now also a peak Fourth Order Cataclysmic, feels virtually nothing against Huang Shangzong's intimidating aura if they are considered invincible at the sa level.
So he naturally t Huang Shangzong's gaze.
Seeing Qiu Tu's deanor, Huang Shangzong then rembered that Qiu Tu had once slain a Fourth-Order Evil God with a single sword stroke, a peak powerhouse just like himself.
His own imposing aura had absolutely no effect.
Therefore, he resentfully withdrew his aura and then sat in the main seat, quietly contemplating.
Qiu Tu's intention was clear: he wanted control over the Inspection Departnt and the Judiciary Court.
These two departnts really aren't particularly strong.
Unless they are backed by higher authority, these departnts are relatively weak.
But don't forget, Qiu Tu is adept at creating miracles and good at building things up from small beginnings.
And though these two departnts are sowhat weak, they are also rather sensitive.
Not to ntion the Judiciary Court, which holds the power of judgnt, let's talk about the "Inspection Departnt".
The range of authority of the Inspection Departnt includes monitoring officials at all levels, and even has investigative and appointnt and removal powers.
This power can be big or small; if small, it's hard to speak with anyone, but if large... the experience of the Eastern Han Period's State Inspectors gradually becoming independent warlords is still vivid before our eyes...
If Qiu Tu were to gain control of the monitoring power, and then gradually hold military power... it would be fine if he himself keeps pressing down, but if not... Huang Shangzong truly fears that Qiu Tu could beco an uncontrollable monster...
At that ti, he would then truly be a sinner of the Eighth Sanctuary.
Thinking this way, Huang Shangzong also thought about outrightly refusing.
However, just at this mont, Qiu Tu spoke again, "Speaker, if you feel these two departnts are a bit too difficult for you."
"Actually... you can give one departnt to assist, and also let temporarily take charge of Wuhai City."
Qiu Tu told a blatant lie, "'Red Hair' was captured by in 'Wuhai City'. With the cooperation of Wuhai City, I believe we can end this operation more quickly."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's eyes slightly brightened.
One departnt Wuhai City?
This.... is not impossible to consider.
As long as the 'Inspection Departnt' isn't given to Qiu Tu, and he can't interfere with personnel matters, Huang Shangzong feels that he could accept this during the current circumstances.
Thinking this, a smile appeared on his broad face.
He looked at Qiu Tu, and finally, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, "Then since it's like this, after I return, I'll issue a docunt assigning Speaker Qiu to be responsible for the Judiciary Court and related work in Wuhai City."
"Speaker Qiu, please wrap up this 'Purification Operation' as quickly as possible. Don't disappoint ."
Upon hearing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Qiu Tu's face.
If a psychologist from a forr life were here, they would recognize that what Qiu Tu just used in negotiation was the famous psychological effect known as 'conceding'.
In negotiations, first make a large request towards the other party, then take a step back and switch to a smaller request; then, this smaller request will easily be accepted by others.
Actually, what Qiu Tu initially eyed was the control of Wuhai City.
What's so good about the Inspection Departnt?
Indeed, if strong enough, it could influence appointnts and removals, and with military power, even control a whole state.
But this is too conspicuous, and also likely to attract the attention of many people during the early stages.
In contrast, controlling a city is quite delightful.
Because the position is high, the power is great, Qiu Tu is completely a Local Tyrant in that city.
Combined with the control over the Dock Sea Area, Wuhai City would like Xinjie City and Bright Moon City, co directly under the control of Qiu Tu.
With Dongye State having only 16 cities, Qiu Tu now directly controls three, nearly 1/5, which is already enough for him to do many things...
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu also quickly assured, "Please rest assured, Speaker, I definitely will not let the Speaker be disappointed."
...
Huang Shangzong seed really urgent.
Shortly after returning, he communicated by phone with several Deputy Speakers, and then directly adjusted the scope of Qiu Tu's responsibilities.
Qiu Tu's scope of authority officially expanded from 'Bright Moon City' to 'Wuhai City' and the Judiciary Court, truly becoming a powerful Deputy Speaker.
However, after updating his scope of authority, Qiu Tu did not rush to celebrate.
He was still concerned about the weird 'Order Line' with 'Scarface'.
So he planned to continue the interrogations tonight with 'Scarface', to clarify the secrets 'Scarface' was hiding.
Moreover, he was also interested in the "important thing" sought by the Cataclysmics in Dongye State.
What is it, that it could cause the Cataclysmics to assemble so many troops, and even send three generals to wreak havoc in Dongye State?
Evening, Eastern City Investigation Bureau, Interrogation Room #1.
Qiu Tu sat alone at the interrogation table, facing Scarface who hung in mid-air, covered in nurous wounds, while flipping through the interrogation report and speaking to Scarface, "Scarface... tell , what exactly is the purpose of stirring chaos in Dongye State this ti?"
"Also, what exactly are the Cataclysmics looking for in Dongye State?"
"What is the use of that thing?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Scarface, covered in injuries, hung his head and cruelly smiled, "Heh heh... what are you talking about? I don't understand why."
"I've said everything I can say. What more do you want to say?"
Qiu Tu heard this, slightly shook his head, and then said, "You know, I am the Deputy Speaker of Dongye State. Handling endless matters every day."
