Liang Xiao still had a smile on his face and said: "Except for me, who can save your life? You don't think about your own situation. Even the Tuoba clan has fallen. Do those aristocratic families still dare to protect you?"
Bai He trembled and said in a trembling voice: "How are you going to protect me?"
"Then it depends on whether you can cooperate."
Liang Xiao said, taking the secret report from Gu Pingxiu, as if talking to himself.
"I really underestimated your ability, Bai He. You were able to secretly collude with the Tuoba clan to murder your father and export salt and iron to Beihu. If you are an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person like you, if you are fair In the world, wouldn’t everyone get it and kill it!”
"What's even more surprising to me is that you actually know the three cunning rabbit holes. On the surface, you have a close relationship with the Duanmu family and have their support. In fact, you have a close relationship with the Gongyang family and the Dugu family. Everyone thinks that you are relying on these three big trees. Shu, you secretly took refuge in the Tuoba clan and became their confidant."
Bai He wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was freezing cold in the capital at the moment, but he was already sweating profusely.
He has understood Xuanwei's methods, and now he is at the mercy of others.
Once upon a time, Liang Xiao was a commercial waste that he manipulated...
"That's right!" Bai He thought of something and said anxiously, "Liang Xiao..."
"Call Marquis!" Gu Pingxiu glared at him angrily.
Bai He nodded gratefully and said: "Master Hou, in fact, the reason why I made you lose all your money in the first place was because those big families joined forces with Zhenyuan Hou Mansion to make a plan..."
"I already know." Liang Xiao looked calm and stared at Bai He.
The Xuanwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty are simply an enhanced version of the "Jinyiwei". Their predecessors were the guards of the Great Zhou Emperor. They specialized in handling some shady matters and made countless contributions over the decades.
Bai He is usually arrogant and domineering, but his mind is quite flexible. If Xuanwei doesn't keep an eye on him, he can really hide the truth.
Baihe instantly became silent.
The best bargaining chip he could think of was useless?
Bai He then thought about it...it seemed that it was really useless.
Even if Liang Xiao knew about it, it would be impossible to convict them for this matter. After all, this was just business competition on the surface and not illegal.
After half a quarter of an hour of silence, Bai He finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Master Marquis, why do you still need to save my life?"
"Then do you know what your crime is for selling salt and iron to Beihu?" Liang Xiao asked.
Bai He said in a trembling voice: "The family was confiscated and the clan was destroyed. I still have a lovely wife and several children..."
"You can even murder your own father, so what do you mean by your wife and children? If Xuanwei hadn't controlled you in time, I'm afraid you would have run away as soon as the news came to you!" Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.
Bai He was ashamed and speechless.
"I heard that Tuobating, the Anbei general from Liaodong, played a major role in selling salt and iron to you?" Liang Xiao asked.
Bai He nodded repeatedly: "Yes..."
"Have you met him?" Liang Xiao asked again.
Bai He explained: "He was the one who helped me set up the plan to kill my father. I have a very good relationship with him, so I was able to join the Tuoba clan and get the secret support of the Tuoba clan. The household department opened the door for convenience. My serious business on the surface is getting bigger and bigger..."
Liang Xiao then said: "The only person I can save you now is Liang Xiao. If I ask you to go to Liaodong in person to inform Tuobating, can you do it?"
"Run to Liaodong to report?" Bai He's eyes suddenly lit up, unable to conceal his excitement.
"Do you think the Marquis simply asked you to inform and give you a chance to escape?" Brothers Gu Pingxiu.
Bai He smiled and said: "Don't dare, I will definitely be accompanied by Xuanwei."
"Snapped!"
Gu Pingxiu slapped Bai He on the back of the head and shouted: "You are already threatening to kill me, but you still dare to smile playfully with my Marquis? Be more serious!"
Bai He's face suddenly turned earthy, and he quickly said: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
Liang Xiao said: "This is your only chance to avoid the death penalty! All I ask you now is that if you take the Tuoba clan's token, can you go to Liaodong to inform Tuoba Ting?"
Bai He seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! As long as the Marquis can save the slave's life, this little thing is not difficult to do!"
Liang Xiao added: "If you can complete the task, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but the court will confiscate your property and leave you only 10,000 taels of silver, and then arrange a new household registration and identity for you. From now on, you will Just hide your name and fly away with your wife and children."
"Ten thousand taels..."
Bai He looked depressed, but when he met Liang Xiao's cold eyes, he shuddered and nodded repeatedly: "Ten thousand taels is enough for nourishment. Mr. Hou is extremely benevolent and righteous..."
"This task is not easy. Don't rush to agree." Gu Pingxiu reminded.
"This military master! My life is about to be lost, why can't I agree in a hurry?" Bai He was anxious.
Gu Pingxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and was speechless.
Liang Xiao said: "Xuanwei will pretend to be your confidant and escort you to Liaodong to find Tuobating. But in order to ensure that you will not escape, I have to feed you a 'Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill'."
"Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill??" Bai He looked confused.
Gu Pingxiu took out three medicine bottles and said: "My Marquis was born in Bashu Miao Territory, which is the most ruthless Miao Territory. There are tens of thousands of poisonous insects and poisonous flowers in the world. Among them, seven kinds of poisonous insects and seven kinds of poisonous flowers are selected. It is refined. Once swallowed, if you do not know which of these fourteen poisons are and blindly prepare the medicine, you will definitely die!"
Bai He's expression changed: "You want me to eat this?"
Gu Pingxiu said in a cold voice: "Among these three bottles, one contains the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill, one contains the antidote for complete detoxification at one time, and the other contains the medicine to alleviate the poison. After you swallow it, Xuan Wei will accompany you all the way and will provide you with relief medicine regularly. As for the one-time antidote, it will be kept by my Marquis."
"Then if I swallow this thing, won't I die on the spot?" Bai He said in horror.
Gu Pingxiu explained: "That's not the case. After you swallow it, you will have a short-term numbness and itching all over the body, nausea and retching. The raw materials used by the Marquis are all chronic poisons. Seven kinds of poisonous insects will feed on poisonous flowers and parasitize them. In your body, it must be suppressed regularly, or the seven insects must be killed directly with the antidote."
Bai He's face turned pale and he cried sadly: "Master Hou, please spare me..."
Liang Xiao and Gu Pingxiu looked at the urine flowing from Baihe's chair and fell into deep thought.
Where is the so-called Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill...
Liang Xiao just asked Huang Ying, the imperial doctor, to prepare a medicine, which would not cause much harm to the body, but there would be short-term obvious symptoms after swallowing it, and then he casually gave Bai Hehu the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill.
It's like letting a person eat shit. It makes him sick for a while and won't kill him, but the other person will live in the shadow of eating shit for the rest of his life.
For example, these pills, including the so-called antidote, all contain a little "renzhonghuang", which is poop...
In ancient times when the level of medical and health care was low, it was better to believe that this kind of thing existed than to believe that it did not exist.
