Chapter 1424

~4 min read 635 words

"If they resist, kill them without mercy!"

At this time, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Lu's banquet tonight was just to suppress Su Gu and incidentally disgust Su Gu.

After all, the matter of Su Gu neglecting Zhang Lu last night had already spread.

And Zhang Lu, as a new official, suppressing Su Gu was also understandable.

But who could have imagined that there would be such a scene.

The bright steel blades reflected the shadows of the candlelight, and the cold air was pressing.

Everyone in the hall did not even dare to breathe at this time.

Zhang Lu was clearly prepared in advance; today he was going to keep Su Gu here.

Zhao Song and Chen Diao, who did not know why, immediately drew the swords from their waists and stood on the left and right sides of Su Gu.

Looking at Su Gu.

He frowned and looked at the so-called handwritten letter of Fa Yan held in Zhang Lu's hand.

"Zhang Lu, stop framing this official. When did this official secretly collude with Duan Yu? As for the handwritten letter of Fa Yan you mentioned, this official knows nothing about it."

"If you really want to kill this official, why do you need such a crime of adding to the charge?"

Su Gu stood with his hands behind his back without changing his expression, looking completely innocent and fearless.

"Hmph."

Zhang Lu continued to sneer: "Su Gu, do you really think I don't know that you and Fa Yan are fellow villagers and friends? Could it be that this letter in my hand is fake?"

"Alright, since you say you are wronged and you have no ghosts in your heart."

"Then good, you bind your hands now. If you are innocent, I will naturally give you justice."

"Do you dare?"

Bind your hands?

Surrender?

Everyone present also looked at Su Gu.

Zhang Lu came with Liu Yan's order.

Not to mention anything else, since Liu Yan could let Zhang Lu come with an order, it showed that he already suspected Su Gu.

Regardless of whether Su Gu secretly colluded with Duan Yu or had correspondence with Fa Yan.

But there is one fact that cannot be changed.

That is, Su Gu himself is from Fufeng.

And Su Gu and Fa Yan are fellow villagers and friends.

Just having these two points is enough.

Hanzhong Commandery is the gateway to Yizhou.

It is of the utmost importance.

Opening Hanzhong Commandery is equivalent to opening the door to Yizhou.

Now Duan Yu is rebelling in Guanzhong, close to Hanzhong.

As long as the military edge turns, it can directly threaten Yizhou.

At this time, a Hanzhong Commandery Governor being from Fufeng, and also a friend and fellow villager of Duan Yu's important minister, Su Gu being suspected is reasonable.

As for the letter in Zhang Lu's hand, it should be true; it was written by Fa Yan to Su Gu.

It's just that Su Gu might not have received it before it was intercepted.

Under these circumstances, it is difficult for Liu Yan not to suspect Su Gu, and not to worry about whether Su Gu will have the possibility of defecting to Duan Yu and offering Hanzhong in the future.

Zhang Lu's arrival became reasonable.

First take the military power, then take Su Gu.

Hold Hanzhong tightly in his hands.

Therefore, whether Su Gu admits it or not, and whether he really has this intention, is no longer important.

What is important is that Liu Yan already has suspicions.

If Su Gu surrenders now, he might never have the day to clear his name.

But if he does not surrender, he confirms that he has a heart of rebellion.

No matter what, this is a dead end.
