"Although the Xiling gate clan used bribes to buy Wutuo officials, many of the Wutuo nobles opposed the eastward advance, but in fact this bribe can be regarded as the annual tax paid by the Xiling gate clan to Wutuo." Tang Rong sneered and said: "It's just these taxes, but Brother Nalusheng didn't get any money, but Brother Nalusheng wants the land in Xiling, and he hasn't paid much attention to this amount of money."

Qin Xiao knew that what Tang Rong said was not unreasonable.

To make King Wutuo Khan like the White Wolf King and many Wutuo nobles oppose the eastward advance, the amount of silver spent is of course a terrifying amount.

"You were born in Xiling. Naturally, you know that Xiling's taxes are the best in the world." Tang Rong said, "Although Xiling is richer than most parts of the Wutuo Khanate, it is very barren compared to many places in the Tang Dynasty. Yangzhou alone, It is more than ten times more wealthy than Xiling, but Yangzhou tax is only twice as much as Xiling. The people of Xiling have suffered many high-profile taxes and miscellaneous taxes for many years. In addition to the money used by the Xiling clan, nearly half of it was used by the Xiling clan to buy Wu. Tuo people, what is the difference between this and Xiling paying taxes to Wu Tuo?"

Qin Xiao sighed: "After the Wu Tuo Rebellion, the Xiling gate clan offered the imperial court with a war horse, but none of them had any silver or two turned over to the treasury."

"Not bad." Tang Rong nodded and said, "The imperial court fulfilled its promise and withdrew troops from Xiling, letting Xiling fall into the hands of the three main gates of Xiling. The three main gates were nominally Tang's officials, but it was Wu Tuo who really got the benefits. people."

"Buying the Wutuo people with money means paying protection fees to the Wutuo people." Qin Xiao sighed: "The Wutuo nobles draw the blood of the people of Xiling with the help of the Xiling gate clan. If things go on like this, Xiling will be weak and unable to attack. Collapsed."

Tang Rong sighed lightly: "It's good if you can understand this."

"According to you, the white shopkeeper is responsible for bribing the Wutuo nobleman?"

Tang Rong said slightly: "From the beginning, this matter was controlled by the treasurer Bai. Of course, the Xiling gate clan would not be able to spend money in vain. They wanted to buy the Wutuo people, and naturally they had to find out who were worthy of money. Ears and eyes, there is a group of intelligence that is specifically responsible for investigating the Wutuo nobles, and list those Wutuo nobles that can be bought, and then estimate their value, and then give them a bribe of equal value, so that the white treasurer has a copy of the purchase. The list of nobles who have passed, these people have the silver of the Xiling gate clan, and they have become the contacts of the white treasurer in Wutuo."

Qin Xiao sighed: "After spending such a lot of money, the treasurer Bai couldn't even keep him, was detained and put in jail, and almost lost his life. It seems that the so-called connections are not as strong as imagined."

"Although the Xiling gate clan has bought many people, most of the Wutuo nobles still have the same mentality as Nalusheng, wanting to swallow Xiling." Tang Rong said: "The power of Wu Tuo's main battle is even stronger, begging for mercy. This is one of them. This time Begging Fushan suddenly went into trouble, and the treasurer Bai did not expect that such a severe situation would occur if he was caught off guard."

"You lurked next to the treasurer Bai, to get the list?" Qin Xiao asked: "Even if you get the list, what use is it for you?"

Tang Rong thought for a moment, and then said: "Getting the list is not the purpose. Our ultimate goal is to replace the white shopkeeper and hold the list, so that we can intimidate many Wutuo nobles to use it for us."

"With the list, can you intimidate them?" Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "The Wu Tuo nobleman is so easy to be controlled.

?"

"Of course it's not easy." Tang Rong said: "We not only want a list, but also find conclusive evidence of bribery. As long as we seize the evidence, even if we can't control all the Wutuo nobles who have been bought, at least half of them can become our tools. "

"how do I say this?"

"Don't forget, Nalusheng is ambitious and wants to advance eastward. He has always regarded the white wolf king as a thorn in his eyes." Tang Rong said: "Na Lusheng also wants to do something with the white wolf king. But many of these people are powerful, just like the White Wolf King. There are millions of tribes under its jurisdiction, and there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry. The White Wolf King is extremely prestigious in the hearts of the tribes under its jurisdiction. Brother Sheng's forcible action on the White Wolf King will definitely cause Wutuo's internal turmoil. Once Wutuo's eight parts break and consume each other, and then want to go east and invade the Tang, it is a foolish dream."

Qin Xiao said: "That's why he would use Qifushan to seize the Khan position, so that he can control the White Wolf."

"But if Brother Nalusheng gets the evidence of the bribery of the Wutuo nobleman, then he can make the evidence public, letting the Wutuo people know that the group of nobles who oppose the eastward advance have been bought by the Xiling gate clique." Tang Rong slowly Said: "At that time, Brother Nalusheng started to do it again, this group of bought Wutuo nobles will not have anyone to support them, they can only become ghosts under the sword."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "So these Wutuo nobles are afraid of getting evidence by Nalusheng, so they can only succumb to you?"

"Not bad." Tang Rong said: "So by collecting evidence of their bribery and getting a list, you can control some of them."

Qin Xiao suddenly realized: "You are worried about the life and death of treasurer Bai, and you are trying to save him. Naturally, you don't really care about his life and death, but you have not obtained the list from him, let alone collected evidence of bribery, if treasurer Bai If you are dead, you are even more unlikely to get the list and evidence. Everything you have done before will be wasted." Staring at Tang Rong, smiled bitterly: "In order to achieve your goal, you have been with the shopkeeper Bai for more than ten years without showing up. Leaking water and even becoming his righteous daughter is really not easy."

"To save the people in Xiling, no matter how great the price is, it is worth it." Tang Rong looked solemnly: "So do you want to tell the treasurer Bai about me?"

Qin Xiao pondered a little, and finally asked, "Did treasurer Bai ever doubt you?"

"He won't trust anyone, including me." Tang Rong whispered: "So for so many years, my primary task is to win the trust of him. In fact, he already trusts me, otherwise this time In an emergency, the White Wolf King will not be handed over to me."

"You have gained the trust of Bai shopkeeper. Now that Bai shopkeeper's legs are abolished, it is very likely that he will leave Wutuo." Qin Xiao said slowly: "This is not a bad thing for you. You are his righteous daughter, follow. He has been away for many years. Even if he does not leave everything in his hands to you, you will still have the opportunity to take advantage of others to hand over and get something you want."

Tang Rong smiled lightly: "It is indeed a good opportunity."

"Then can you tell me who you are?" Qin Xiao looked directly into Tang Rong's eyes, "Who is it that instructs you to hide next to Shopkeeper Bai? Why are you suffering from cold?"

Tang Rong frowned her eyebrows, her lips moved slightly without making a sound.

Qin Xiao sighed: "Today you have a sudden onset of cold. It can be said to be extremely dangerous. Fortunately, I was by your side. If you were on the side of shopkeeper Bai, he could see the problem at a glance. You have worked so hard for many years.

, It was put to waste in an instant."

"Yes." Tang Rong had lingering fears: "Fortunately it is you, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."

Qin Xiao said, "But you can't control this kind of thing. The cold comes suddenly and you can't control it. This time you avoid it, and the next time it will happen in front of him. For so many years, you have been so lucky. Do it in front of you?"

"It's all because of that change." Tang Rong sighed lightly: "I have cold diseases in my body. I have to take medicines on time every month, once a month. After taking the medicines, I can ensure that everything is as usual for a month. It won't happen."

"What kind of medicine?" Qin Xiao asked immediately, "The same as my pills?"

Tang Rong shook her head and said, "No." She seemed to want to say something, but stopped talking.

Qin Xiao said, "Sister Rong, you are a smart person. You should understand that in the current situation, I am more active than you. I am a person who asks the truth. You tell me the truth, and then convince me that I am tight-lipped. Maybe I can help you. , If you want to hide it from me by this time, I can’t say when the wind blows in your mouth, everything that should be said or not will leak out."

Tang Rong gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Are you threatening me?"

"The key is that I can really threaten you." Qin Xiao shrugged: "You treat me with sincerity, and I may be able to protect you as much as I can before."

Tang Rong was furious in her heart when Qin Xiao held the handle, but she was helpless.

Naturally, she knew that if Qin Xiao told the treasurer Bai the truth, his life and death would not matter, but the painstakingly managed plan would be completely abandoned.

"It's also a pill, but it's different from yours." Tang Rong said, "Before this incident, I have been in contact with another person. That person has a rouge powder shop in Tangren City, and I go there every month. .....!"

"Rouge gouache store?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Sure enough, sister Rong is as beautiful as a flower. She is one of a thousand beautiful women. It is natural for such a beautiful woman to go to the store to buy rouge gouache every month. The treasurer will not doubt it either."

Tang Rong glared at Qin Xiao, but continued: "The shopkeeper of the gouache store will give me a pill every month. After taking it, I can make sure that I won't suffer from colds in the next month."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "I understand, Tangren City was burned by a fire, and the rouge gouache store was naturally burned. Wu Tuo's soldiers searched Tangren City and arrested many people. Of course, you can't stay in the chaos. In Tangren City, it was in ruins, and the person who contacted you could only be evacuated. Therefore, you have lost contact and cannot be contacted within a short period of time. If the antidote is not available, cold illness may occur at any time."

"Yes." Tang Rong admitted: "If you don't get the antidote, you can only endure the suffering of the cold, and I can't predict when it will come." With a wry smile, "I and the treasurer Bai are together. Every moment is extremely dangerous, and when the cold breaks out, your identity will be immediately exposed, and your previous efforts will be lost." Thinking of being almost exposed in front of the white shopkeeper during the day, I still have lingering fears.

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Who made you lurking next to the treasurer Bai? He used such a vicious drug to control you. Naturally, he was worried that you would rebel. This person is very hot. Why did you obey his instructions? "Is the person behind the scenes who wanted to control Tang Rong the one who poisoned him back then?
