Chapter 245, frightened
"Spare your life, don't kill us." Seeing that these people really dared to make a move, the remaining seven patriarchs were all frightened.
After a while, Xu Shu walked in from outside, holding a thick stack of letters in his hand, and after coming in, Xu Shu was expressionless, and slapped the letters on the table vigorously, "Do you know what this is?" ”
"Let me tell you, these are all letters secretly exchanged between Cui Wannian and Guo Yan, I have already sent someone to their house to arrest people, and it is really a pity to die if I dare to have an affair with Guo Yan."
The seven patriarchs were all frightened, and their hearts suddenly hung in their throats.
Whether it is killing chickens and monkeys, or it is true, at least no one dares to doubt Xu Shu anymore, the kind of luck that Zhao Yun does not dare to attack them, these people are all gone at once.
Xu Shu's tone softened, "There are many people who collude with Guo Yan, but the lord once told him that God has the virtue of a good life, don't involve too many people, I still have a lot of evidence here, among which you are also implicated." ”
"Wronged, my lord, wronged, I don't know Guo Yan at all."
"Me too, this must be a frame-up, and I hope the adults will see it."
Xu Shu sneered, "You can't be a three-year-old child, Guo Yan has been entrenched in Guanzhong for so long, don't you people have any dealings with him?" ”
The family has always put the interests of the family first, and so many Guanzhong clans, saying that no one colluded with Guo Yan, a fool would not believe it.
It's just that Zhao Yun didn't plan to pursue this matter, some families were forced to be helpless, temporarily thinking of snakes as snakes, and committed themselves to catering to Guo Yan, which is also understandable, even if someone is really secretly attached to Guo Yan, colluding with Guo Yan, and pulling the whole body, Zhao Yun doesn't want to investigate deeply.
Battle of Guandu: Many influential people around Cao Cao secretly wrote letters to Yuan Shao, expressing their sincerity, intending to follow Yuan Shao after Cao Cao's defeat.
Battle of Red Cliffs: There are also many people in Jiangdong who secretly wrote letters to Cao Cao to show their loyalty, which is understandable, and neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan delved into it.
Guo Yan was entrenched in Guanzhong before, and it was normal for someone to get close to him.
Xu Shu did this, not to really investigate them for fornicating with Guo Yan, but to threaten these people and let them obediently donate their food.
Xu Shu condescendingly looked at the seven patriarchs who were afraid of death, and sneered contemptuously, "You said that there was no collusion with Guo Yan, what evidence do you have?" Do you want me to spare you just by my own words? Let me tell you, I have the evidence of your fornication, of course, as long as you take the initiative to admit it, I don't want to pursue this matter too much, but at least let me see your attitude. ”
The seven patriarchs looked at each other, not everyone was clean, and the patriarch of the Heng family stood up tremblingly, "My lord, Guo Yan came to our house to collect food before, and we had no way at that time, even if we knew that he was a rebel and a thief, in order to protect the family, we didn't dare to offend him." ”
Xu Shu nodded: "I understand this, then how much food did you give Guo Yan?" ”
"A thousand deniers!"
"One thousand deniers, it's really a big deal, I remember that I borrowed food from you just now, and you seem to have promised to only give eight deniers."
The patriarch of the Heng family suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his expression became very embarrassed, as if he was constipated, he hurriedly lowered his head, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it quickly.
Xu Shu looked at the others again, and the six people also came out to confess, even if two of them didn't know Guo Yan at all, they also took the initiative to stand up and confess.
Everyone knows very well that at this time, if they don't admit anything, they will not have good fruit to eat, and even if there is nothing wrong, they must stand up and confess.
Attitude matters!
"Okay, then let's do it, give you a chance to redeem your merits, now there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and the Lord is just worried about this, your attitude in the hall just now made me very dissatisfied, this time you said by yourself, how much do you plan to make, if you still want to play tricks with me, the gods can't save you."
"I'm out of eight hundred deniers!"
"I'll give out six hundred deniers."
The enthusiasm suddenly increased by a hundred times, Xu Shu sneered secretly, it seems that if they don't scare them, they don't know what it means to be afraid.
Xu Shu asked these people to make a note, so as not to regret it afterwards, and after setting up the note, Xu Shu asked these seven people to be put back.
Xu Shu didn't return to Weiyang Palace immediately, he waited patiently outside for a while.
The people in the main hall, when they saw that these seven people had returned, all gathered around, and they chattered and asked.
"What's going on? Cui Wannian, what about them, twenty people left, how did they come back seven. ”
"What's the matter with your injuries?"
When these seven people told what had happened, it was as if they had ignited the explosives package at once, and the entire hall suddenly boiled.
Some are furious and accuse loudly; Some of them were frightened and frightened, and no matter who it was, they couldn't continue to remain calm.
After a while, Tong Fei and Zhang Ning walked in with someone again.
"You, come out."
"And you, come with us right away."
It was exactly the same as the last time, and everyone who was named was frightened, but those soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and they dragged people away without saying anything.
For the rest of the people, the atmosphere of fear spread rapidly, and there were more and more fears, and if this continued, no one could say who would be next.
The only one who could save them was Zhao Yun, and someone hurriedly took the lead and shouted, "We want to see General Zhao!" ”
"Yes, we want to see General Zhao."
The sound has never been so neat and loud, wave after wave, and the movement is so loud that it almost lifts the roof.
Xu Shu saw that the time was almost up, and he hurriedly came to see Zhao Yun.
During this time, Zhao Yun has been thinking hard, although he does not approve of Xu Shu's approach, but there is no other good way than to do it.
"Lord, it's your turn."
"Yuan Zhi, I heard that you killed five patriarchs."
"Yes, this is also something that can't be helped, politics, it is always inseparable from the evil of darkness!"
Xu Shu smiled helplessly and comforted himself.
This sentence touched Zhao Yun deeply, and it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully.
Zhao Yun tidied up his clothes, and was just about to go out, Xu Shu reminded, "Lord, your past temperament has always been straightforward, this time, you have to change no matter what, otherwise, this scene will be ruined." ”
Zhao Yun didn't like acting, and glanced at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, in fact, you can finish the play yourself, why do you have to let me go?" ”
Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, "If I sing both red and white faces, the effect will be different." ”
Whether Zhao Yun is willing or not, since Xu Shu has already paved the way for him, he has to cooperate and do a good job of finishing the work.
