Gao Zuozhen snorted coldly and said, "Do you think it should?" ”

"Damn it! Frightened adults. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Small ◢.lā" The captain of the guard was in a cold sweat on his back, the assassin was obviously a latent master, and he didn't leave a trace of coming and going, but at this moment, Gao Zuozhen's face was not good, where did he dare to quibble.

Gao Zuozhen waved his hand and said coldly: "Go down, step up your defense, I don't want to see such a thing happen again." ”

The captain of the guard hurriedly retreated with his fists clenched, and the guards of the entire Gao Mansion didn't want to sleep anymore tonight.

After everyone left the room, Gao Zuozhen looked at the note in his hand and frowned, how smart he was, he only thought for a moment to know that this assassin was not here to assassinate him, but to deliver this note.

Gao Zuozhen unfolded the paper, reached out to move the candlelight closer, and squinted through the firelight.

A piece of paper, just one hundred and ten lines of words, Gao Zuozhen's face turned pale, which listed all kinds of appalling charges against Shi Taohe, the assassin of Chengzhou, and it was written with evidence for verification, and at the same time, it also solved the doubts that Gao Zuozhen had been empty in his heart in recent days.

Although Yang Yi wrote a bit more oil and vinegar, most of the things are actually true, and Gao Zuozhen only needs to connect the things he knows before and after to be sure that what is written on this piece of paper is basically true.

Gao Zuozhen's hands trembled a little, Tao He's madness and ruthlessness were beyond his expectations, but of course he was not angry about the innocents who died, but worried about his own life.

The eight words "eradicate dissidents and rule Shuzhong forever" are like a bloody knife, which has been dangling in Gao Zuozhen's mind.

According to what was written in the letter, Tao He was dreaming of Yongzhi Shu, he would get rid of all the forces that threatened him, whether it was Dou Xu or Wanfu Commercial Bank, it had become a lesson from the past, and he Gao Zuozhen would definitely not be excluded by Tao He.

Where is Gao Zuozhen still sitting, he was a little suspicious of what Tao He was secretly doing recently, but he never expected this old guy to play so hard, as long as the person who posed a threat to him must be in a different place.

But who sent this letter? What is his intention? Gao Zuozhen was full of doubts in his heart.

"Your Excellency!"

Gao Zuozhen was anxious when someone knocked on the door and called.

Gao Zuozhen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, sat back at the table, and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, but it was the captain of the guard of the Gao Mansion.

Gao Zuozhen frowned and said, "What's wrong?" He knew that if it wasn't for something important, the guards wouldn't be able to bother him.

The captain of the guard didn't look as nervous as he was when he went out before, and replied: "My lord, my subordinates just saw a soldier of the Chengzhou Army looking for a guard near the mansion outside, and I think I came to protect my lord after hearing the news, so I am here to inform my lord, please rest assured." ”

"What!" Gao Zuozhen stood up suddenly: "How many people are coming from the Chengzhou Army?" ”

The captain of the guard was shocked, and he didn't know why Gao Zuozhen was so panicked, and said with some astonishment: "There are probably one....one or two hundred people." ”

The captain of the guard thought that Gao Zuozhen was shocked by the assassin of Fang Cai, and immediately said that the one hundred and ten "Chengzhou Army" outside was one or two hundred people, but he didn't want Gao Zuozhen to hear the words but turned even paler.

Gao Zuozhen was already sure that these Chengzhou troops were not here to protect themselves, they had just left at the moment, it was impossible for the Chengzhou army to get the news so quickly, and Tao He could not be so kind, the only possibility was that the Chengzhou army was here to spy on him.

"Tao He is going to do it to himself." Gao Zuozhen immediately came to this terrible conclusion, and thought of the fate of the Xu family of Wanfu Commercial Bank, Gao Zuozhen shuddered.

The people of the entire Chengzhou Mansion have never been able to understand how the hundred and ten people in the Xu Mansion were killed silently, so how many bandits do it take to do it?

And at this moment, Gao Zuozhen somewhat understands what is going on in this unsolved case, and it is naturally impossible to kill the 100-person bandits silently, but what if it is an official army? The officials and soldiers did not know what name they entered the Xu Mansion, and then gathered all the people in the Xu Mansion in the lobby, believing that the more than 100 people in the Xu Mansion did not expect that the officials and soldiers would kill them until they died.

"Go! Gather all the guards and take strict precautions around the mansion, and no one is allowed to enter the mansion, especially those Chengzhou troops! Gao Zuozhen said a little excitedly.

"Huh? My lord? The captain of the guard looked puzzled.

Gao Zuozhen slapped the table violently, and said angrily with his hair in a bun: "Ah what! If you are told to go, you will go quickly. If you want to live, do as I say! ”

The captain of the guard was shocked, he had followed Gao Zuozhen for many years, and he had hardly seen Gao Zuozhen so angry, so he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, and hurriedly withdrew to block the entire Gao Mansion according to Gao Zuozhen's orders.

Gao Zuozhen kept pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, only feeling that his head might be cut off by Tao He at any time. At the moment, your mind is racing, and it's important to think of a way to deal with it.

Run away? Obviously impossible, with the Chengzhou army under Tao He's control, unless Gao Zuozhen has wings, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the Chengzhou Mansion.

After thinking about it, Gao Zuozhen thought that the only way to survive was to resist!

Although Tao He holds most of the rights in Shuzhong, after all, he only came to Shuzhong twenty years ago, and for the people of Shuzhong, Tao He can definitely only be regarded as half of the people in Shu.

But Gao Zuozhen and the dead Dou Xu are different, they are natives of Shuzhong, and their respective families have at least a hundred years of historical roots in Shuzhong. Twenty years ago, when Tao He entered Shu, in order to stabilize his position, he tried his best to win over the Shuzhong Gate Lords to support him, among which Gao Zuozhen and Dou Xu, the two local famous families were the most representative.

To put it thoroughly, it is to exchange political achievements for the political support of the scholars, which is the usual method used by those in power in the early days of power.

However, the biggest drawback of this method is the problem of the tail not being dropped, the Gao family and the Dou family as representatives of the Shi family became Tao He's right and left hands, Tao He received strong support and quickly controlled the power of Shuzhong, but it also led to the later ten years, he did not dare to move Gao easily, Dou and the two families, because if he was not careful, it would cause a backlash from all parties in Shuzhong.

The Dou family is the representative of the bureaucratic class, so he is in charge of the military officials of the Chengzhou government, and the Gao family is the representative of the merchant class.

Now that Tao He wants to live forever, wants to monopolize power, and wants to eradicate dissidents, Gao Zuozhen, who is in the ranks of eradication, will naturally not sit still, no matter what, he has to fight.

With the idea set, Gao Zuozhen hurriedly walked to the door of the room and shouted, "Someone!" ”

The servant who was waiting at the door hurriedly walked in and bowed, "What do you command?" ”

Gao Zuozhen's face was cold, and he said in a cold tone: "After dawn, I immediately sent someone to secretly notify the business houses that have made friends with Gaofu, and the heads of the scholars and other families came to the mansion to discuss matters, saying that this matter is related to the life and death of the major families in my Shu, so you must come!" ”
