Chapter 113 Killing and silence
Gao Demao pretended to be silly and laughed: "Oh, your majesty has really given the Bai family a great favor! His highness King Liang is your majesty's prince, and anyone who can marry your majesty's prince is a blessing from generations of cultivation! "
Seeing the emperor squinting his eyes, Gao Demao suddenly changed the subject: "It's just your majesty, this Miss Bai has a stubborn illness, and I heard that the fate of her offspring is not good enough! It's your Majesty who made Miss Bai the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Liang. To promote the Bai family, His Majesty is the son of heaven with a kind heart, thinking about the death of all men in the Bai family...Give Miss Bai a face and let Miss Bai be the concubine of His Royal Highness Liang Wang. But the old slave is a villain, with a heart Er Xiao, in my heart... I feel that I have wronged His Majesty's Longzi too much."
The emperor looked at Gao Demao, and couldn't help laughing: "Your flattering skills are getting better and better!"
"This old slave speaks from the bottom of his heart!" Gao Demao smiled at the emperor like a flower.

In the prison of Dali Temple, there is a musty smell in the damp and dark places all the year round. Even in the daytime, it is too dark to see the sun without lighting the lamp.
Zhongyong Hou Qin Dezhao sat cross-legged in the dimly lit cell, quite calm.
Since ancient times, it has not been easy to obtain the merits of the dragon. Before he planned to board the ship of King Liang and King Xin...he knew that King Xin won his glory, and if King Xin lost, he would lose everything.
Qin Dezhao has always left his own way out first when doing things, the reason why he dared to gamble without fear this time is that the Zhongyonghou's mansion has a life-saving elixir iron certificate.
Before the grain and grass were transported out of the metropolis and handed over from him, at least on the surface it appeared to be the best new grain, and he had already silenced what should be silenced and finished it cleanly.
Now that there is a loss of food and grass, even if he is found out, it is only a crime of dereliction of duty, and the disaster will not affect the whole family.
"Miss Bai, Zhongyonghou is here, but the visiting time should not be too long, and I ask Miss Bai to be considerate." The jailer bowed his waist and said in a low voice.
Bai Qingyan's brother Xiao Ruojiang stepped forward and handed over the silver to the jailer with a smile: "Brothers, please drink tea."
"This can't be allowed!" The jailer hastily declined, sincerely, "I'm waiting in this prosperous imperial capital, and I'm all under the protection of the son of the town's government. I just wish I could repay you. How can I take money from the eldest girl now?! It's necessary. !"
Qin Dezhao opened his bloodshot eyes, and saw that under the flickering candlelight, the person who took off his cloak and black hat was actually Bai Qingyan with beautiful features.
His lips were pursed into a straight line.
After staying in the prison of Dali Temple for a day and a night, although Qin Dezhao's navy blue slanted gown was clean, his face was exhausted.
Looking at the back of the jailer who had already left, Qin Dezhao laughed lowly: "The jailer... is also the heart that Miss Bai bought!"
"This man's heart was bought by the Bai family with his life. If the Zhongyong Hou is willing to give up his life... this man's heart can also be attributed to the Zhongyong Hou, but it's a pity..." Bai Qingyan raised his hand and untied the cloak, took it off, and handed it to Nanny Tong, holding a plain silver carved flower. The hand stove stands in front of the prison gate, "Zhongyong Hou Jiafeng has always cherished his life, I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Qin Dezhao's face darkened: "Miss Bai condescends to come to this prison, isn't it just to make fun of me?"
She took a deep look at what Qin Dezhao said, and stretched out her hand behind her...
Xiao Ruohai took out the roster in his arms and put it in Bai Qingyan's hands. Nanny Tong moved a bench, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and helped Bai Qingyan to sit down.
Xiao Ruojiang opened the food box he carried with him, took out a pen, ink and brocade, and knelt down on the ground while holding the pen.
The few people acted in an orderly manner, but Qin Dezhao couldn't see why. Could it be... that Miss Bai is coming to interrogate him? !
"Shen Xiyao, a nine-rank official of money and food, died of drunkenness and falling into the water on the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifteenth year of Xuanjia, at the age of forty-six..."
When Bai Qingyan uttered the name, Qin Dezhao subconsciously grabbed onto his clothes. He stared at Bai Qingyan, trying his best to keep calm.
Xiao Ruojiang's subordinates wrote very fast, and almost finished writing on the brocade silk after Bai Qingyan finished reading.
"Li Sanhai, Gu Guan of Jiaozhou Grain and Grass Mansion, lived in a flower building overnight on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifteenth year of Xuanjia, and died of drinking too much. He was thirty-eight years old."
Every time Bai Qingyan said a name, Qin Dezhao's heart was in a mess.
Especially the people Bai Qingyan read were all involved in sending grain and grass to southern Xinjiang years ago...and he had already silenced them.
How did Bai Qingyan know about these people? !
In this roster, Bai Qingyan only picked out the dead ones in it and finished reading, when he saw Qin Dezhao's face in prison changed drastically.
After reading about those who died, Bai Qingyan closed the roster and asked Xiao Ruojiang: "Have you recorded everything?"
"Remember it all!" Xiao Ruojiang finished speaking, picked up the brocade and handed it to Bai Qingyan.
After Bai Qingyan finished reading, he handed the brocade silk to Xiao Ruojiang. Then he looked at Qin Dezhao in the cell and said, "Earlier this morning, Your Majesty decreed that my grandfather be named the King of the Town and my father be the Lord of the Town. Liu Huanzhang ransacked the house." Extermination of the clan, King Xin and his heirs will be demoted to the common people, King Xin himself will also be exiled in Yongzhou and never return to the court..."
Qin Dezhao's throat rolled, and he clenched his back molars tightly.
"You said... If I hand in this list, how will His Majesty deal with you?" Bai Qingyan shook the brocade in his hand, and there was no smile in his eyes, "If King Liang knew that I came to Dali Temple Prison today to see With such a list after you, will King Liang be in a hurry to kill people to silence him?"
Qin Dezhao's eyes widened. He never imagined that Bai Qingyan knew that there was King Liang behind him!
King Liang is a believer in King Xin. Now that King Xin is demoted to common people and exiled, King Liang must try his best to protect himself...
Qin Dezhao recalled the scene when he ordered the killing of Li Sanhai, Shen Xiyao and others. If he was the king of Liang...he would have to kill the person with the most insiders to protect himself.
"Liu Huanzhang is far away in southern Xinjiang, how did he know that there was a problem with the grain and grass, and used the missing grain and grass as an excuse to deceive the army in southern Xinjiang? Could it be that Zhongyong Hou had already colluded with Liu Huanzhang? If so... Liu Huanzhang is a traitor? Zhongyong What crime should the Hou have? If the Zhongyong Hou bites out the King of Liang, what kind of crime should the King of Liang have?"
The tone of Bai Qing's speech was slow and orderly, but it made fear flow silently to Qin Dezhao's limbs like a trickle.
"Perhaps the death of my Bai Jiaerlang is insignificant in His Majesty's eyes, and His Majesty even hoped that my Bai Jiaerlang would die, but hundreds of thousands of sharp men from the Great Jin Dynasty were buried in southern Xinjiang because of your selfish desires, so that the strong men of the Great Jin Dynasty could only Bow down and beg for peace with Xiliang Nanyan, cede land is a trivial matter, once Da Jin admits defeat, Daliang and Rong Di will pounce on him at any time, do you think His Majesty hates it?"
Qin Dezhao knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Bai family, and it was precisely because of this that he dared to tamper with the grain and grass.
But what Bai Qing said was right, the emperor wanted the Bai family to die...but he didn't want these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to accompany the Bai family to die!
There is one more! ! !
