Gao Lian said helplessly: "It's a villain who has made a mistake, please don't blame me." He leaned closer and said: "Governor, the villain really has some trivial matters to tell the adult privately..." He glanced at Xuanyuan Shengcai, and the meaning was obviously to let Chu Huan retreat Xuanyuan Shengcai.

Chu Huan looked at Gao Lian deeply and smiled and said, "It's okay, General Xuanyuan is his own person. No matter what happens, he can say it in front of General Xuanyuan." He signaled Xuanyuan Sheng to sit down.

Xuanyuan Sheng sat down, and Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, if you have something to say, if that young man is really a son-in-law, you really have to give us an explanation."

"Governor General, the little dog is definitely not a Taoist in Tianmen. He eats, drinks, who are ignorant and gambles, and he is ignorant and has no ability. People from Tianmen are not able to look down on him." In order to rescue his son, Gao Lian could only detract from his son as incompetent as possible. "This time it is really a misunderstanding. The little dog is narrow-minded and flaws will be reported. He has no eyes and does not know the adult's face. He has a conflict with the adult, and then gathers people to offend him... Adult, this is really just a misunderstanding. Even if the little dog has the courage, he dare not disrespect to the adult."

"Mr. Gao, these are all your words." Chu Huan shook his head, "Mr. Gao is the richest man in Qingzhou, with a family of tens of millions. The son was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Do you think such a person would condescend to eat in an inconspicuous restaurant? He found out about the whereabouts of this governor and then went to kidnap. Mr. Gao didn't know that the son was not just kidnap, he was preparing to kill the governor."

Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "If we hadn't arrived in time, the Governor might have been killed by your dog. How dare you say this is a misunderstanding? If there was no conspiracy and just a small conflict, why would he be ready to kill someone?"

"kill?"

"The prison officer of the Ministry of Justice has already told me about this matter." Xuanyuan Sheng clenched his fists and said, "Your High Master Gao is indeed going to commit a crime. Gao Lian, the emperor transferred him to Xiguan to come to Xiguan. But it is not only to manage Xiguan, but also to wipe out the rioters in Xiguan. The son is probably mixed with the Tianmen Dao. Now I want to ask you, are you entangled with Tianmen Dao?"

"Ah?" Gao Lian was so heartbroken, "No, absolutely not, how could a villain have an affair with the Tianmen Dao?"

"We need to investigate carefully whether there is any contamination." Chu Huan said slowly: "Mr. Gao will return home for the time being, but in the next few days I will send someone to protect you so as not to kill people in the Tianmen Demonic Way. When the investigation is clear, if you are innocent, I will give you an explanation."

Gao Lian was frightened. Of course, he knew that although Chu Huan seemed calm, he would never give up this opportunity. If he could not convince Chu Huan today, he would probably have a chance in the future. He didn't care about Xuanyuan Sheng being present and said: "Sir, villain... It is difficult for villain to explain this matter clearly, but sir, he will definitely not wrongly accuse a good person...!" He gritted his teeth and took out a stack of documents from his arms, "Sir, this is the villain who respects you and General Xuanyuan, the land deeds and house deeds of the four shops...!"

"Mr. Gao, are you bribing me?" Chu Huan's expression calmed down, "Who did you think I am the one?"

"Sir, it's not... this..." Gao Lian felt a little panicked when he saw Chu Huan being so righteous.

Chu Huan sighed: "Mr. Gao, you are eager to save your son. You are confused for a moment. I can understand it, but I am not a person who embezzled and accepted bribes? Alas, let's stop here today. You go back first. I will discuss the matter of the New Salt Bureau with General Xuanyuan... The New Salt Bureau has just been built, and it is a big deal. This is a yamen for the benefit of the people. If it can be operated properly, it will definitely benefit the people. It's a pity..." Shaking his head, "The Ministry of Revenue Department cannot provide silver. No matter what the New Salt Bureau does, it will require silver. I am thinking of a solution with General Xuanyuan to see if I can raise a sum of silver to make the New Salt Bureau operate."

Gao Lian spread his eyebrows. If he couldn't hear the words at this time, he would be worse than a stupid pig. He immediately said: "Sir, you actually misunderstood the villain just now."

"Oh?" Chu Huan pretended to be surprised, "What does Mr. Gao say?"

"Actually, this house deed is not a bribe to the adults. The adults misunderstood. These things were... donated by the villain to the New Salt Bureau..."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao is preparing to donate to the New Salt Bureau?"

"Yes, yes!" Gao Lian felt that he had opened an exit, "The villain moved to Shuoquan to contribute to the reconstruction of Xiguan. The adults built a new salt bureau to benefit the people. With such an opportunity, the villain should contribute his own efforts."

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Sir, the money needed by the New Salt Bureau is not a small amount. Mr. Gao's donation is a drop in the bucket and it cannot solve any problem at all."

Chu Huan patted his head gently and smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, I'm not in charge of the family, I don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. Before becoming this governor, I just felt that one of the governors was very arrogant, but now I know that ordinary people can't move without money. If the government has no money, it's impossible to do anything."

Gao Lian seemed to be prepared and said, "Sir, the villain will offer another five thousand taels of silver... No, ten thousand taels!"

Chu Huan leaned forward slightly and asked, "Mr. Gao, I heard that after you came to Xiguan, you spent a lot of money to buy a lot of land and shops. In fact, I want to know how many shops you have in Xiguan now? How much land have you purchased?"

Gao Lian twitched slightly at the corners of his eyes and he hesitated: "Sir, this... the villain has indeed bought some property, which is to take root in Xiguan..."

"Twenty-eight shops, I bought several large mansions, and even bought dozens of fertile land...!" Chu Huan smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Gao's financial resources are really extraordinary. No wonder they say that Mr. Gao is the richest man in Qingzhou. Only with such an identity can he have such a deal. By the way, I heard that the fertile land purchased by Mr. Gao has planted crops and hired many civilians?"

Gao Lian was frightened, but he still said, "Sir... what he said is very true, but... the fertile fields purchased by my Gao family are not independently borne by my Gao family. The so-called richest man in Qingzhou is just a false reputation. The villain's property is actually not much... Among the principal of the purchase of the shop and the fields, many of the relatives of the villain gathered together. As for the grain planted, dozens of glutted fields, there are quite a few grains needed, and my Gao family cannot bear them independently. Many of the grains were borrowed by the villain from Beishan, and when there was a harvest, they would be returned to them."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and sighed: "Young Master Gao doesn't know whether Mr. Gao works so hard. In fact, it is not for future generations in the end. His predecessors plant trees to enjoy the shade. Mr. Gao worked hard all his life. These industries are all for inheritance to descendants... Oh, by the way, Mr. Gao, when he said this, I suddenly thought of a very strange question. You said that you worked hard all your life and the efforts of several generations to earn the current family business. In your heart, which of these industries is more important than the men?"

Gao Lian felt cold all over.

Although Chu Huan's voice was gentle, the meaning of the words was as huge as a thousand pounds, which was so strong that Gao Jian could not penetrate. He finally understood that the young governor in front of him was even more fierce than he had imagined. The price he offered was really sky-high. What he wanted was not a little bit, but it seemed that he wanted to swallow the family's family's hard-working family's family's family's family's hard work in one bite.

Seeing that Gao Lian looked bad, Chu Huan laughed and said, "Mr. Gao looks very tired? If it's too hard, why not go back and rest first." Without looking at Gao Lian, he walked to the wall with his hands on his back, reached out to take off a loose brick from the wall. When the brick was removed, there was a hole that could be seen opposite, and the interrogation place was next door. You can see the three young masters tied to the wooden shelf on the front.

"Mr. Gao, after all, don't make mistakes." Chu Huan looked inside through the orifice for a while, and suddenly said, "You said that Mr. Gao is really a son-in-law? Don't make a mistake. Why don't you come here first and then confirm it before you talk?"

Gao Lian was most worried about his son's current situation. He heard Chu Huan say this and hurried over. Chu Huan has already moved out of the way. Gao Lian looked through the gap and saw the Gao Master opposite him at a glance. Although Gao Master was stripped only of underwear, disheveled hair, and covered in blood on his body, Gao Lian still confirmed at a glance that it was his son. He felt his whole body trembling and frightened, but more angry. At this time, Chu Huan stood next to him calmly. He wished he had a knife in his hand and pierced Chu Huan's chest immediately, but he also knew that this was just a delusion. Now he was completely at a disadvantage. Chu Huan held the power of life and death, and tried his best to restrain the overwhelming anger and resentment in his heart. He couldn't help but shout: "Huo'er, how are you? I'm your father, how are you now?"

The young master Gao had his head hanging down, his hair drooping as if he was dead. When he heard the sound, he struggled to raise his head, his black hair covered his face, and his voice was shrill: "Dad, where are you? Ah...Dad, come and save me, come and save me...I'm going to die, Dad, please, come and save me...I want to go home, I will die if I stay here..."

"Huo'er, don't be anxious, dad will take you back." Seeing Mr. Gao's miserable appearance, Gao Lian was both sad and angry. His Gao family was a family in Beishan, and even the government had to give face. He dared not provoke him easily. Although the Gao family was walking sideways in Beishan, they were also calling for the wind and rain. When they came to Xiguan, they were arrogant for a while. They never expected that they would fall into such a desperate situation one day.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, it seems that it is really a man in it, that's good. I didn't admit my mistake, that's good." He said earnestly: "Mr. Gao, don't worry, I have always enforced the law impartially and will not frame good people, but I will not let bad people go. Whether the man is black or white, I will definitely investigate it carefully and will not be careless."
