As soon as Zhao Dun said this, everyone stared at Gao Lian in unison, and some people already showed dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Gao Lian had already beckoned and said, "Come in." Zhao Dun and three or four people were called into the house. At this time, the gentry and clansmen in Beishan were all panic-stricken. When they entered the house, Zhao Dun cut to the chase and said, "Uncle Gao, Is it Gao Huo's nonsense, which is causing us trouble?"

Although the Zhao family and the Gao family had a close relationship and even had relatives, when he thought that his father might be implicated by Gao Huo, Zhao Dun was furious and couldn't care less about friendship.

Several other people also said one after another: "How could Gao Huo do this? We have never had anything to do with the heavenly sect. Why does he talk nonsense?"

Gao Lian's face was livid, and he said: "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. You are all blaming Gao Huo now, but this matter is Chu Huan targeting our Beishan family."

"That being said, if Chu Huan hadn't been caught, how dare he attack us so easily?" Zhao Dun said in a deep voice, "I heard that Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan. ? Is he crazy?".

Gao Lian knew that the matter was important, and if he didn't explain it clearly, the Beishan family would be divided. He told what he knew, and everyone looked at each other. Falling into a trap?"

"No." A person next to him immediately said: "Everyone doesn't know, just the day before yesterday, I met Gao Huo, and he really mentioned the Xifeng Restaurant, which was a small restaurant that just opened. After passing by, I saw the proprietress of Xifeng Pavilion, and I heard that the proprietress is a coquettish and beautiful woman, Gao Huo immediately took a fancy to her."

"So that's how it is." The person next to him snorted coldly: "We all know Gao Huo's temperament. He likes Fengyue, and he must have wanted to get the 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, exhausted, said: "What's the use of talking about it now? Everyone has been arrested, let's find a way to rescue them."

Zhao Dun clenched his fists and said: "The surname Chu has a very close relationship with the seven surnames of Xiguan, and the seven surnames of Xiguan regard us as sworn enemies. Since Chu Huan is with them, how can he show mercy to us?" He frowned, "I am now The most worrying thing is that Gao Huo is talking nonsense in the government, if he should force us to go to Tianmendao, the surname Chu will definitely seize this opportunity and kill us."

"Don't say that it has something to do with Tianmen Dao, but Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan. This is already a serious crime, which is tantamount to treason." A look of horror appeared in the eyes of someone beside him, "No matter what the reason is, Gao Huo did lead people. Binding Chu Huan, Chu Huan is now deliberately using Gao Huo to send us to the Tianmen Dao, obviously to involve us all in this matter... Now that the imperial court is fighting with the Tianmen Dao in the southeast, what the imperial court hates the most is Tianmen. Mendao, if this crime is placed on our heads...!"

The man didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present couldn't help shivering.

"What did Mr. Dong say?" Zhao Dun took a step forward, "Uncle Gao, when we moved to Xiguan in a big way, Governor Zhu had promised later that the government of Xiguan would guarantee our interests. Dong Shizhen and Dongfangxin did the same at the beginning. Pat your chest and promise that when we arrive at Xiguan, they will definitely keep us going smoothly, and now that such a big thing has happened, they always want to tell us a word."

"I went to Zhizhou Mansion last night." Gao Lian said: "Dong Shizhen couldn't come up with anything else, only said that he would help us speak, but...!"

"Speak for us?" Zhao Dun sneered, "How can you speak for us? Then Dong Shizhen and Chu Huan are also sworn enemies. How could Chu Huan listen to what he said?"

Several other people said anxiously: "Should we just sit and wait like this?"

One person said: "It's really impossible, we can only move back to Beishan, we can't stay here anymore."

Gao Lian sneered and said, "Move back to Beishan? It's easy to say. If someone surnamed Chu really wants to kill us, what can we do if we move back to Beishan? What if we were accused of rebellion and ran to the ends of the earth? That can't get away."

"His grandma, it's really not going to work, let's go to Xiliang." One person couldn't help but said, "Chu Huan can go to Xiliang to catch us back? When the world was chaotic, many people went to Xiliang to escape Is it a disaster?"

"Run to Xiliang?" Zhao Dun said calmly, "I'm afraid Chu Huan's men have already beheaded us before we left Yanmen Pass."

"So what about Chu Huan? He doesn't have only 200 people under his command." The man next to him sneered, "We add up, there are hundreds of servants in the nursery, so maybe we can't give it a go."

"Although there are only more than 200 people under him, they can all be the Royal Guards before, and one can count as ten. What's more, if he really wants to take action, it will be a real rebellion." Zhao Dun frowned: "At that time, even Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin Don't dare to approach us. Don't forget that they are also members of the imperial court. Although they are mortal enemies with Chu Huan, if we gather people to rebel, they can only stand on Chu Huan's side. If that's the case, what we are dealing with is not just Among Chu Huan’s troops, Dongfangxin controls the soldiers and horses, and has deployed four battalions of the Pingxi Army around Shuoquan City. That’s [-] soldiers and horses. When we add them up, it’s not enough to kill people.”[

"This won't work, that won't work, so what are we going to do?" The person next to him was furious, "Chu Huan's knife has already been cut towards us, we can't wait to be killed...!" Looking at Gao with an indignant expression Lian, "Uncle Gao, your Gao family caused this disaster, you must find a way to save everyone from this disaster."

A stern look flashed across Gao Lian's eyes, but he still raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said slowly: "Now there's no need to say who caused the disaster, it's all at this point, and it's meaningless to pursue who is 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 see Chu Huan last night." Gao Lian said slowly, everyone became nervous immediately, and someone asked, "Have you met Chu Huan? Then... what does he mean?"

"Of course you have heard that if you lose money, you will avoid disaster." Gao Lian said slowly: "Chu Huan has already hinted that if you lose money, you may avoid disaster."

When everyone heard this, their complexions softened a little, and Zhao Dun's brows stretched slightly, "Uncle, you mean that the person surnamed Chu is a money-grubbing 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 temporarily closed. It is still controlled by Zhu Dang, but this new salt bureau was set up by Chu Huan alone. I have inquired about it. There are not many officials in this new salt bureau for the time being, and I don’t know what it is used for. It is completely in the hands of Chu Huan... ...!"

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

"Now I understand somewhat that this Chu Huan is different from other officials." Gao Lian stroked his beard 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 said with certainty: "As the saying goes, people die for money, and 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 make money."

"To make money?"

"That's right." Gao Lian sneered, "I don't believe that he really wants to do something big in Xiguan. He looks dignified. In the end, he's just for show. Last night, he was exposed. He is not good at taking bribes directly, so he wants to make a name, set up a name, and use it to make money. This new salt bureau is his tool for making money. I sent the house deed and land deed last night, but he dared not accept it, but hinted to me Donate money to the new salt bureau... think about it, what does this mean?"

Zhao Dun clapped his hands, and said, "Uncle Gao is indeed well-informed. Uncle Gao can tell at a glance that he is an official. Now it seems that Chu Huan set up the new salt bureau for the purpose of collecting money. Money, but let people donate money to the new salt bureau. The new salt bureau was set up by him, and he is in control. If the money enters the new salt bureau, it will be in his pocket if someone checks it. Even if you think about it, it can’t be directly related to him...!” I couldn’t help but sigh: “This Chu Huan is young, but he is a master at making money, I really admire him.”

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

"Why?" Zhao Dun said, "As long as it's something that can be solved with money, it's not a big deal. Now in Xiguan, in terms of financial resources, I'm afraid no one can compare with our Beishan gentry."

"Chu Huan has a big appetite." Gao Lian sighed, "Compared to Chu Huan, the pirates of Dong Shizhen's group are really not worth mentioning."

Immediately someone asked: "Chu Huan offered a high price?"

Zhao Dun said: "I do know something about Chu Huan. Two years ago, this person was a famous person. I heard that he started his fortune from Yunshan. He has been on the rise, he is used to living in poverty, and he is greedy for money, which is understandable, but this kind of person, no matter how big his appetite is, how big he can be, the combined money of our Beishan gentry, if he takes out a part of it, it is enough for him to live For several lifetimes...!"

A person beside Zhao Dun nodded and said, "That's right, isn't it silver? The most important thing we need now is silver. Compared to being charged with rebellion, there is nothing wrong with spending some silver. Silver is dead, but people are alive." , as long as we escape this time, the economy of Xiguan is still under our control, and we will soon earn back the money he swallowed... That's right, Uncle Gao, what price did he offer you?"

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

When everyone heard the words, they all changed their colors.
