As soon as Zhao Dun's words came out, everyone's eyes were staring at Gao Lian, and some people were already dissatisfied.

Gao Lian had already beckoned, "A few of you come in." Zhao Dun and other three or four people were called into the house, at this time, all the gentry in Beishan were in a panic, and when they entered the house, Zhao Dun went straight to the point and said: "Uncle Gao, is it Gao Huo's nonsense, which is causing us?" ”

Although the relationship between the Zhao family and the Gao family is not shallow, and there are even relatives, but when he thought that his father was likely to be involved by Gao Huo, Zhao Dun's heart was furious, and he couldn't care about any friendship.

Several other people also said, "How can Gao Huo do this? We have never had anything to do with any Tianmen Dao, why did he talk about it? ”

Gao Liantie blushed and said, "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense, you all blame Gao Huo now, but this matter is Chu Huan's targeting of our Beishan clan." ”

"That being said, if he hadn't been caught by the surnamed Chu, how would he dare to attack us so easily?" Zhao Dun said in a deep voice: "I heard that Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan, what kind of trouble is this?" Is he crazy? ”

Gao Lian knew that the stakes were very high, and if he didn't explain it clearly, the Beishan clan would be divided internally, and he told him what he knew, everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Dun had already frowned and said, "In this way, Chu Huan deliberately set a trap for Gao Huo?" ”

"That's not right." A person next to him immediately said: "You don't know, just the day before yesterday, I also saw Gao Huo, and he really mentioned the West Wind Pavilion, which was a small restaurant that had just opened, Gao Huo happened to pass by the West Wind Pavilion and saw the proprietress of the West Wind Pavilion, I heard that the proprietress was a coquettish and beautiful woman, and Gao Huo fell in love with her at that time." ”

"I see." A person next to him snorted coldly: "Gao Huo's temperament, we all know that he likes Fengyue, he must have wanted to beat that woman's idea, so he fell into Chu Huan's trap." ”

"In this way, the people in the West Wind Pavilion are Chu Huan's people? Otherwise, how could Gao Huo meet Chu Huan in the West Wind Pavilion? ”

Gao Lian sat on the chair, tired, and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?" Everyone has been arrested, let's hurry up and find a way to rescue them. ”

Zhao Dun clenched his fists and said: "The surname Chu has a lot of relationship with the seven surnames of Xiguan, and the seven surnames of Xiguan regard us as mortal enemies, since Chu Huan is in the same group as them, how can he show mercy to our subordinates?" He frowned, "What I'm most worried about now is that Gao Huo is talking nonsense on the side of the government, if he should push us to Tianmen Dao, the surnamed Chu will definitely seize this opportunity and kill us." ”

"Don't say that it has something to do with Tianmen Dao, that is, Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan, which is already a great crime, which is equivalent to rebellion." Someone next to him showed a look of horror, "No matter what the reason is, Gao Huo did lead someone to tie up Chu Huan, and Chu Huan is now deliberately using Gao Huo to push us up the Tianmen Road, obviously to involve us all through this matter...... Now that the imperial court is in the southeast and Tianmen Dao, the most hated by the imperial court is Tianmen Dao, if this crime is placed on our heads, ......! ”

The man didn't finish speaking, but everyone present couldn't help but shudder.

"What did Master Dong say over there?" Zhao Dun took a step forward, "Uncle Gao, when we moved to Xiguan in a big way, Governor Zhu had a guarantee in the back, and the government of Xiguan would guarantee our interests, Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin also patted their chests and promised that when we arrived in Xiguan, we would definitely ensure that we would have smooth sailing, and now that such a big thing has happened, they will always give us a word." ”

"I went to the Zhizhou Mansion last night." Gao Lian said: "Dong Shizhen can't come up with a way, he only said that he would help us speak, but it's ......!" ”

"Help us talk?" Zhao Dun sneered: "How can you help us speak?" Then Dong Shizhen and Chu Huan are also mortal enemies, how could Chu Huan listen to what he said? ”

Several others said anxiously: "Are we just sitting back and waiting for death?" ”

One person has already said: "It's really not possible, I can only move back to Beishan, and I can't stay here anymore." ”

Gao Lian sneered: "Move back to Beishan? It's easy to say, if the surnamed Chu really wants to kill us, even if we move back to Beishan, what can we do? If we are really charged with rebellion and run to the ends of the earth, we will not be able to get out. ”

"He's ***, it's really not possible, let's go to Xiliang." One person couldn't help but say, "Can he, Chu Huan, still run to Xiliang and arrest us back?" When the world was in turmoil, didn't many people go to Xiliang to avoid disasters? ”

"Running to Xiliang?" Zhao Dun said lightly: "I'm afraid that before we get out of Yanmen Pass, Chu Huan's men and horses have already cut off our heads." ”

"What about Chu Huan? He didn't have just two hundred men. The man next to him sneered: "If we add it up, there are hundreds of servants in the nursing home, and it may not be impossible to fight." ”

"Although there are only more than 200 people under his command, they can all be royal guards, and one is ten, not to mention that if he really wants to do it, it will really be a rebellion." Zhao Dun frowned and said: "When the time comes, even Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin will not dare to approach us, don't forget, they are also people from the imperial court, although they are mortal enemies with Chu Huan, but if we gather people to rebel, they can only stand on Chu Huan's side, if that is the case, we will deal with not only the men and horses under Chu Huan, Dongfang Xin has the soldiers and horses, and around Shuoquan City, the four major battalions of the Pingxi Army have been deployed, which is 20,000 soldiers and horses, and we add them up, not enough for people to kill." ”

"This can't be done, that's not possible, so what are we going to do?" The person next to him was angry, "Chu Huan's knife has already cut down on us, we can't lead our necks to ...... kill!" He looked at Gao Lian with an angry look, "Uncle Gao, this disaster was caused by your Gao family, you must always think of a way to let everyone avoid this catastrophe." ”

Gao Lian's eyes flashed with coldness, but he still raised his hand, signaled everyone to calm down, and said slowly: "Now there is no need to say who caused the disaster, it has come to this point, and it is meaningless to hold anyone responsible." ”

Zhao Dun walked to the edge of a chair next to him, sat down, and said, "Uncle Gao, then you can think of a way for everyone." ”

"I went to find Chu Huan last night." Gao Lian said slowly, everyone immediately became nervous, and someone had already asked, "Have you seen Chu Huan?" That...... So what does he mean? ”

"Of course you've heard that you don't have to go to disaster." Gao Lian said slowly: "Chu Huan has already hinted that if the wealth is broken, it is possible to avoid disasters. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces softened a little, and Zhao Dun's eyebrows stretched slightly, "Uncle is saying that the surname Chu is a greedy person?" ”

"At least he doesn't hate money." Gao Lian said: "You should know that Chu Huan has just set up a yamen called the New Salt Bureau, Chu Huan does not control a few yamen in Xiguan now, most of the yamen are still controlled by Zhu Dang for the time being, but this new salt bureau was set up by Chu Huan, I have inquired, this new salt bureau does not have many officials for the time being, and I don't know what to do with it, it is completely in Chu Huan's hands......!" ”

"What does this have to do with the New Salt Bureau?"

"I understand a little now, this Chu Huan is a little different from other officials." Gao Lian touched his beard and thought thoughtfully, "Think about it, why did he suddenly set up such a yamen?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Money." Gao Lian was very sure: "As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, just last night, I finally understood that the purpose of this surnamed Chu to set up a new salt bureau is to collect money." ”

"To make money?"

"Not bad." Gao Lian sneered: "I don't believe that he really wants to do something big in Xiguan, he looks sanctimonious, in the final analysis, he just does it for people to see, last night has leaked out his thoughts, he himself is not good to directly collect bribes, so if you want to make a name, set up a name, and use it for money, this new salt bureau is his tool to collect money, I sent the deed last night, he didn't dare to collect it, but implied that I donate the money to the new salt bureau...... Think about it, what does this mean? ”

Zhao Dun clapped his hands and said: "Uncle Gao is worthy of being well-informed, and he is an official, and my uncle can see it at a glance, now it seems that Chu Huan set up the New Salt Bureau for the purpose of collecting money, he does not directly collect money himself, but asks people to donate money to the New Salt Bureau, the New Salt Bureau is set up by him, he controls it, and the money enters the New Salt Bureau, and if it enters his Chu Huan's pocket, if someone investigates it, it can't be directly pulled into his body......!" I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Chu Huan is young, but he is a master of accumulating money, I really admire him." ”

The originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while, but Gao Lian's face was still solemn, and he said: "It's just that even so, it's not good news." ”

"Why is that?" Zhao Dun said: "As long as it is something that can be solved by silver, it is not a big deal, now in Xiguan, when it comes to financial resources, I am afraid that no one can compare with our Beishan gentry." ”

"Chu Huan has a great appetite." Gao Lian sighed: "Compared to Chu Huan, Dong Shizhen's group of people are really not worth mentioning. ”

Someone immediately asked, "Chu Huan's price is very high?" ”

Zhao Dun said: "I know some of Chu Huan's situation, this person was still an unknown person two years ago, I heard that he started his career in Yunshan, was born poor, and then hugged the thigh of King Qi, and then he was on the rise, he is used to living a poor life, greedy for money, it is understandable, but this kind of person, no matter how big his appetite is, how big can he be, the money added up by our Beishan gentry, just take out a part of it, and it is enough for him to live for several lifetimes......!" ”

A person beside Zhao Dun bowed his head and said, "Yes, isn't it just silver?" The last thing we need now is silver. Compared with the charge of rebellion, there is nothing wrong with spending some silver, silver is dead, people are alive, as long as we avoid this time, Xiguan's economy is still controlled by our hands, and the silver swallowed by him will soon be able to earn it back...... Yes, Uncle Gao, what price did he offer you? ”

Gao Lian had a gloomy face and sneered: "He didn't say the price directly, but the meaning is obvious, all the property of my Gao family in Xiguan, he wants to swallow." ”

When everyone heard this, they all changed color.
