Chapter 1423

~4 min read 724 words

But this did not mean that Su Gu had a good temper.

Everyone listened to Su Gu's words and said to themselves, sure enough.

This Su Gu was going to fight back.

"Lord Zhang, there is a saying: 'The honest are the model of the people; the greedy are the thieves of the people. Government means to be upright. If you lead by being upright, who would dare not be upright?'"

"The official robe on this official's body is dirty, and it is broken."

"But this official's hands are not dirty, and my heart is not dirty."

"This official does not need to worry about being unable to sleep at night or eat in peace. Without greed or desire, the Kingly Way is vast."

"I just don't know, Lord Zhang, if you can sleep at night and eat in peace?"

After saying this, Su Gu stood up, bowed to Zhang Lu, whose face had already become very ugly in the main seat, and said: "Sorry, Lord Zhang, compared to your delicacies and grape wine, Lord Zhang, this official feels more at ease eating thin porridge and pickled vegetables at home."

"Since that is the case, then this official will not disturb you, Lord Zhang. Thank you for the banquet, Lord Zhang, this official takes his leave."

After saying this, Su Gu walked toward the direction outside the hall.

Zhao Song and Chen Diao followed closely behind.

The hall was silent, only the sound of Su Gu's footsteps hitting the ground, beating in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Lu in the main seat suddenly stood up and threw the valuable gilded bronze wine cup in his hand to the ground.

The wine in the cup splashed on the white jade floor.

As the sound of the cup breaking rang out, the executioners hidden in the side rooms on both sides of the main hall filed out.

Seeing this scene, the many officials in the hall were shocked.

Why did this night banquet arrange so many executioners?

What is Zhang Lu going to do?

Looking at the many executioners blocking the entrance of the main hall after rushing out, Su Gu stopped his steps and looked at Zhang Lu, who had stood up in the main seat behind him, with a frown.

"Zhang Lu, what are you doing!" Su Gu shouted sharply.

Zhang Lu narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh: "Su Gu, you are also worthy of talking to me about being upright and honest, and you are also worthy of talking to me about being without greed or desire, the Kingly Way is vast."

"Since the conversation has reached this point, then I don't need to cover up and save face for you anymore."

"I originally wanted to give you another chance, but it seems you don't need this chance now."

As he spoke, Zhang Lu took out two letters from his bosom.

One of them was naturally from Liu Yan to Zhang Lu.

And the other was a handwritten letter from Fa Yan.

Zhang Lu unfolded Fa Yan's secret letter and said to Su Gu: "Su Gu, in front of me, do you still want to pretend?"

"You are secretly colluding with the Guanzhong rebel Duan Yu, contacting him through secret letters, and want to offer Hanzhong to Duan Yu. Do you really think no one knows about this?"

Hiss!

As soon as Zhang Lu said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

"Zhang Lu, stop talking nonsense. When did this official secretly collude with Duan Yu to offer him Hanzhong?" Su Gu glared at Zhang Lu.

"Still quibbling!" Zhang Lu snorted: "This is a handwritten letter from your old friend from Fufeng, the rebel Fa Yan who has now defected to Duan Yu, but it was intercepted by the Governor in advance."

"The Governor remembers your merits and cannot bear to kill you, so he specifically sent me here."

"I kindly entertained you, but you ridiculed me so much. It seems your heart of rebellion is already set."

"This handwritten letter was written by the Governor himself, letting me act according to the situation and handle it entirely."

"You could come through this door today, but you cannot leave!"

"Someone, take down Su Gu and his party!"

"If they resist, kill them without mercy!"
