Gao Lian hated itchy, but he didn't dare to show it, he saw the shirtless Qi Hong appear in sight through the gap, beside Qi Hong, followed by a big man, carrying a bucket of water in his hand, without saying a word, he splashed the heads of the three of Gao Gongzi one after another, and the three of them were poured with cold water, and they all suddenly came to their senses.

Qi Hong had already reached out and pinched Gao Gongzi's neck, and said sharply: "Stinky boy, don't you recruit yet?" Say, who is the leader of Tianmen Dao in Xiguan? What is your purpose in kidnapping the Doge? ”

Gao Gongzi's mouth just "cooed", where could he speak.

"Poof", Gao Lian didn't care about anything at this time, and knelt in front of Chu Huan, "Lord Governor, please raise your noble hand, you can't be tried again, if you try again, the little dog will die." He stuffed the deed and title deed in his hand into Chu Huan's hand, "My lord, this is donated by the villain to the New Salt Bureau, the others, the small one goes back and finds a way, please, raise your hand ......!" ”

"This is what Mr. Gao donated to the New Salt Bureau?" Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Mr. Gao, if it is donated to the New Salt Bureau, with General Xuanyuan as a witness, the governor can accept it, if not, the governor can't take a penny from you." ”

Gao Gongzi's screams were already heard next door, and Qi Hong had already picked up the whip and beat Gao Gongzi again.

"Yes, Lord Governor, these are donated to the New Salt Bureau." Gao Lian's face was flushed, "I beg your subordinates to be merciful." ”

Only then did Chu Huan approach the entrance of the cave and said to the next door: "Qi Hong, stop, let Gao Gongzi think about it first, and give it to him...... Take a day to think about it. Turning to Gao Lian, he sighed lightly: "Mr. Gao, you also know that this governor is going to make great efforts to exterminate the Tianmen Dao, and if the Tianmen Dao is not eliminated for a day, the governor will not be at ease for a day, and every time they are given an extra day, they may grow stronger, so ...... Ling Lang will not suffer from flesh and skin for a day, but the governor cannot bend the law for personal gain, and after a day, he will still be interrogated. ”

Gao Lian didn't know that Chu Huan didn't give him a chance to bargain at all, the so-called one-day time was nothing more than an opportunity for Gao Lian to donate his family wealth, and there was no other choice at this time, so he could only say: "After the villain goes back, he will think about it, but ...... Adults also know that if everything is just a villain, there is nothing, my Gao family is a big family, there are many brothers, and the Gao family's property is not the villain's final say, it needs to be discussed ...... family! ”

Chu Huan immediately frowned and said, "What does Mr. Gao mean by this?" Do you think that the Governor is forcing you to give your possessions? He handed the title deed he had just accepted to Gao Lian, "If this is the case, these governors will not dare to accept them, this governor is as honest as water, fair and honest, and will not force others to donate property, Mr. Gao, these things, you take ...... first!" ”

Gao Lian hurriedly moved back, and said helplessly: "My lord, this is the villain's sincere donation to the New Salt Bureau, this is for the benefit of Xiguan, not because of the adult." ”

"That's very good." Chu Huan nodded, "That's right, Mr. Gao, there is paper and pen here, why don't you write down your intention to donate to the New Salt Bureau and press your handprint, so that the governor will not be misunderstood." ”

Gao Lian had no choice but to write the book and press his handprint, Chu Huan picked up the book, read it again, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Gao's benevolence and righteousness are admirable, so let's go back first, discuss it with the clansmen, and one day must be enough for Mr. Gao to make a choice...... Mr. Gao, don't be reluctant, if your people don't have the heart to donate, Mr. Gao doesn't have to be strong! He raised his hand and said, "General Xuanyuan, let's send Mr. Gao out first." ”

Gao Lian was helpless, he was sent out of the door by Xuanyuan Shengcai, and waited until Xuanyuan Sheng came back, Chu Huan was sitting on the chair and thinking about something, but Xuanyuan Shengcai had already come closer, and said with a smile: "My lord is clever, the surname Gao really came." ”

"Tiger poison does not eat children, although Gao Lian is insidious and cunning, but he can't give up this son." Chu Huan sneered: "General Xuanyuan, everything is going according to plan. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately arched his hand and said, "The last general understands." ”

The wealthy merchant gentry who migrated from Beishan to Shuoquan are of course not only the Gao family, but also the Gao family, the big family who migrated to Shuoquan, there are no less than 20 families, and these families are all well-known families in Beishan.

Of course, they will not move their families here, this kind of big family, the family members are relatively prosperous, some of them took advantage of the situation to come to Xiguan, wantonly annexed the local gentry of Xiguan, and the other part continued to stay in Beishan.

However, in order to take advantage of the chaos to annex greater interests in Xiguan, they brought a large amount of capital, and the Beishan gentry joined forces with the Xiguan Zhu Party, and in a short period of time, they have developed a force in Xiguan.

The representative of the foreign gentry in Beishan is naturally the Gao family, and the second only to the Gao family is the Zhao family.

The head of the Zhao family is called Zhao Kunyou, and the relationship with Gao Lian is very close, this time the Beishan gentry entered Xiguan in the north, and the Zhao family is also like the Gao family, showing extremely positive, they followed the Gao family in Xiguan, using various relationships to annex many shops and fields, from a certain point of view, that is a firm ally of the Gao family.

The light of the morning sun shines between heaven and earth, Zhao Kunyou gets up early every morning to practice a set of health boxing, and when he practices boxing, usually no one dares to disturb.

But today's set of punches was only halfway through, a rush of footsteps came, and then there was a chaotic sound, a domestic servant crawled over with a rolling belt, Zhao Kunyou didn't have time to scold, the domestic servant had already cried wolf howl: "Master, it's not good, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are coming, ......!" ”

"Officers and soldiers?" Zhao Kunyou was a little confused, "Whose person?" Is it someone sent by Lord Dong? ”

"It's not Lord Dong, it's the Governor of Chu." Before the servant could speak, a group of people had already turned out from behind the flower garden, and one of them was dressed in armor and was majestic, "Master Zhao, come with us." ”

Zhao Kunyou looked at Xuanyuan Sheng for a few glances, a little familiar, when Chu Huan first arrived in Shuoquan, Shuoquan held a feast on the scenery in the North Wanglou, although it was unpleasant, but not only Chu Huan that day, but Xuanyuan Shengcai, who followed Chu Huan to the banquet, was also quite conspicuous, Zhao Kunyou was also among the welcoming crowds that day, but he had a little impression of Xuanyuan Sheng.

"Are you the General Xuanyuan?" Zhao Kunyou frowned, "But I don't know what General Xuanyuan is doing with bringing people here?" ”

"Ben has already said that you want to come with us." Xuanyuan Sheng did not hesitate, and said lightly: "The government suspects that you have something to do with Tianmen Dao, you must make it clear." ”

Of course, Zhao Kunyou knew what Tianmen Dao was, his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Tianmen Dao? He hurriedly said: "Don't wronged good people, I'...... What do I have to do with Tianmen Dao? You trespass on people's houses and slander ......! ”

"It's not slander." Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said, "There is already a certification, which proves that you are involved in Tianmen Dao." With a wave of his hand, several strong guard warriors had already rushed forward, and without saying a word, they twisted Zhao Kunyou, pushed and walked out.

Zhao Kunyou shouted loudly, was pushed out of the yard, in Zhao's house, he had already gotten the message, a group of people came over, a young man blocked the way, and said sharply: "Who are you?" Why arrest people indiscriminately? ”

"Who are you?" Xuanyuan Shengcai looked coldly.

"You arrested my father, I'm Zhao Dun." The young man was a little bold, "Why are you arresting people?" ”

"Ben will be ordered to arrest people, and I don't need to explain to you why." Xuanyuan Shengcai pressed his big hand on the hilt, "Dodge." stepped forward, easily pushed Zhao Dun away, and a group of people escorted Zhao Kunyou out.

"Go find Master Dong, go find your Uncle Gao." Zhao Kunyou was twisted and walked out, turned his head and shouted.

Zhao Dun knew that the matter was very important, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage, Zhao Kunyou was arrested by the officers and soldiers, Zhao Dun took the carriage, and came to Gaofu without stopping.

The relationship between the Zhao family and the Gao family is close, and there is no need to spread the word, Zhao Dun hurried to the main hall of the Gao Mansion, but found that many people had gathered here, in addition to the people of the Gao family, several other people were also Beishan gentry, seeing Zhao Dun coming in a hurry, someone had already stepped forward, and said hurriedly: "Why is Brother Zhao here?" ”

"The government is unreasonable and takes my father away." Zhao Dun hurriedly said: "I was about to find Uncle Gao to discuss countermeasures." ”

The man was frightened and said, "Could it be that Uncle Zhao was also arrested because of Tianmen Dao?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Dun nodded, and then said strangely: "Why are you here too?" ”

"We're all the same, my father was also arrested." The man said anxiously: "I also came to find Uncle Gao to discuss countermeasures...... Brother Zhao, what happened, why did the government wronged us for colluding with Tianmen Dao? ”

"They said there were witnesses." Zhao Dun clenched his fists and said, "Who is slandering us?" ”

A person next to him approached and said in a low voice: "Don't you know that something big happened last night, Gao Huo was arrested last night, and now his life and death are unknown." ”

"Gao Huo?" Zhao Dun was stunned, "What happened to him?" ”

"I don't know what the specifics are, but I only know that he seems to have kidnapped the Governor with someone." The man lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Gao is discussing matters with his family now, and he can't see us for the time being." ”

"Kidnapping the Governor?" Zhao Dun's face changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "Is Gao Huo looking for death?" He...... Why did he kidnap the Governor? With a flash of inspiration, he said in a low voice: "Could it be that the officers and soldiers taking away our family will have something to do with Gao Huo?" ”

Before the man could answer, the main hall saw that Gao Lian had come out of it, and everyone immediately rushed forward and said, "Uncle Gao, what happened?" ”

Gao Lian's face was unusually ugly, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "Don't worry, everyone, something is indeed wrong, we can't mess up." ”

"Uncle Gao, I heard that Gao Huo was arrested last night?" Zhao Dun took two steps forward and stared at Gao Lian, "Early this morning, we all have family members who have been arrested, and they are also said to be involved in Tianmen Dao, and the officers and soldiers also said that someone has a certificate in their hands?" Who is this witness? Is it Gao Huo who opened the river in the government? ”
