C776 They Poisoned an Entire Country
C776 They Poisoned an Entire Country
Tuoba Tian'er said in horror.
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Actually... things are not that complicated. It is quite simple."
"Simple?"
"Yes, it is very simple. "
"How simple? Is it that easy to understand? Then why can't I understand it? "
"Because you are not a common person. People can actually be considered people of the pugilistic world. You do not fight for money nor do you fight with officials. Instead, you pay attention to the ways of the world. This is the most important. Simply put, there were some things that could be said between the people... He could say, he could drink, he could complain... They can say it without any scruples, but if they want to be recorded... If the higher-ups knew, then what would they say? Oh, someone came out and said it with all his might. What happened in the end? He must have been noted down by the higher-ups, and in the future, he would be put in a difficult position by others. The employees wouldn't dare to hire you, and Li Zheng would have to take away your farm. More likely, he would be destroyed by those powerful families. After all, they would destroy the people. It was as simple as pinching an ant to death, as long as there was a connection... As long as they wanted to live, they wanted to live a slightly better life. Then they couldn't say it even if they were beaten to death! At least... they could not say it themselves. They hoped that someone else would say it. Spit it out, but he would say it himself? Hehe, everyone wants to live their lives. Do they have to risk their lives to do so? Even if they get benefits, even the higher-ups will be executed. In the future, when a new official takes office, who would dare to use him? He had to quickly get him out or disappear. Would the higher-ups only feel comfortable after doing something? Would ordinary people be able to afford such a price? Although they were a bit lacking in life before, they could still live, right? They had a quick mouth, but in the end, they could no longer live. Why do you have to do this?"
"This... Is it that simple?"
"Yeah, it's that simple. Actually, even if it's on you, it's the same. Many things in the Literary Sect are wrong. You are saintess of the Literary Sect, so naturally you have seen more. If one day King of Northern Wei asked you what your opinion of the Literary Sect was... How should I control it? What do you think? You will definitely have to deal with the situation as if it was a piece of cake. It would be best if both parties did not offend each other. After all... Other than saintess, you are also the daughter of the Tuoba family. Isn't that right? If it was because of you, the Tuoba family would be trapped. Are you willing?"
"I..." Tuoba Tian'er wanted to retort but she could not come up with a good idea and could only helplessly nod her head.
Yes, there were some things that she did not dare to say.
Such willfulness, or rather, the rules were so.
Xiao Yun said, "So from the beginning until the end, His Majesty didn't do anything wrong, but what exactly happened? Who said what happened there was true? So what if it was the truth? Then I don't know. Even I don't know. Because I've never been to that place before. As for comforting His Majesty... It can only be said that a man's plan is up to the heavens, and a man's effort will come to an end. He's not a god, so how could he possibly know so much?"
Tuoba Tian'er also nodded and said, "That is really difficult."
"Hard, really hard."
In the end, it was not hard?
At least to King of Northern Wei, this was a difficult thing.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Especially his intuition, he felt that the air around him seemed to have changed subtly.
It was as if a sharp sword was hanging above his head, and even breathing became very difficult.
He examined his own feelings and felt that it was caused by the Shangguan family.
Therefore, he decided to investigate the Shangguan family thoroughly. If he really couldn't do it, he would destroy their family!
If he didn't make a decision, he would definitely be thrown into chaos.
King of Northern Wei knew this principle.
Whenever he encountered such a major event, he would always find someone to discuss it with.
Marquis Laiyang.
He entered the Palace again and sat in the seat that he often did.
After listening to King of Northern Wei's explanation, his expression changed drastically.
Then, he let out a long sigh.
His face was filled with pain, and he even wiped away his tears.
This caused King of Northern Wei to be somewhat stunned. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? When he came over, he was already somewhat strange, and now, he was even crying. What exactly happened? If you have any questions, you can tell Zhen. Zhen will uphold justice for you! "
King of Northern Wei seemed very angry.
Who would dare to do anything to Marquis Laiyang? Do you not want to live anymore?
Marquis Laiyang looked at King of Northern Wei and asked with a trembling voice, "Can't we just ignore the matters of Shangguan family?"
"Ignore? "
King of Northern Wei was shocked and immediately asked, "Did they do something to you? This damn Shangguan family is getting more and more excessive. Zhen doesn't care about it, but it wants to cause trouble! Humph, look at Zhen..."
Before he could continue, Marquis Laiyang sighed again.
Then he said, "Your majesty, it seems that you will not let the Shangguan family go. In the end, you will be involved in this matter. Then, I can only let you down."
"What? What do you have to apologize to me for? What are you saying? What exactly do you mean?"
Marquis Laiyang sighed again and said," Your majesty, did you drink the tea that I gave you? "
"Why did you suddenly... I drank it again? The tea sent by my beloved minister is indeed a good tea."
"The tea is poisonous."
This sudden sentence nailed King of Northern Wei to his seat.
He did not understand. He did not believe it. He was unwilling to accept it. He was angry. He even... broke down.
All kinds of emotions rushed towards him. He thought that he would jump up, but in the end, all of his strength was sucked away. He sat there, struggled, and didn't even stand up.
He even wanted to speak, but he became weak.
"Wh... Why?"
He finally asked, but his voice was so soft that he almost didn't hear it.
Marquis Laiyang did not hear it.
But he knew what King of Northern Wei would ask.
Therefore, he stood up and cupped his hands towards King of Northern Wei. He said, "In the beginning, it was that unworthy son of mine who was deceived by his friends. After being poisoned, he was assigned a mission. Only by finding an official like this humble servant can one exchange for an antidote that can be consumed once every ten days. The moment this humble official was deceived by him, this humble official suddenly realized that his grandson was quite smart. At least in the entire process, this humble official didn't even have a shred of doubt. So everything was so natural. "
He smiled bitterly and continued: "When I come to my senses, our entire family will get rid of the servants and servants. All 127 of them have been poisoned, and they have worked together to design this humble servant... This humble servant had no way to hide or resist. This humble servant could choose not to take his own life. But the entire clan... the clan that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years... was going to vanish into thin air in this humble servant's hands. The other party was so vicious that even a newborn baby had been poisoned. If this humble servant dared to resist, the entire clan would be completely cut off. I can't do anything about it either."
As he spoke, Marquis Laiyang took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and slowly walked up to the throne. He placed the small medicine bottle in front of His Majesty and then walked down.
During this process, King of Northern Wei did not make a move.
Marquis Laiyang returned to his original position and said, "Because Your Majesty did not complete your task, you will not have the antidote for the first stage. I have given you my antidote. Quickly eat it."
King of Northern Wei was so angry that his teeth itched, but he still could not help but ask, "You gave Zhen your antidote, then what about you?"
Marquis Laiyang smiled and said, "As long as my family lives, my life is not that important. If I die, I die."
"Hmph! Aren't you afraid that Zhen will slaughter your entire family? "
Marquis Laiyang was not afraid at all and said softly, "Your majesty, I forgot to remind you to take note of a few things after eating this poison. The first thing is that everyone has to carry out a mission. The difficulty of the mission is different. Only after completing the mission can you get an antidote for a stage. Some people only have to wait obediently for their mission. Some people's missions were very heavy and difficult. For example, the mission of this humble servant to the entire family was to poison His Majesty. In fact, there are many people who have accepted this task, even if this humble servant does not poison... His Majesty won't be able to avoid it. "
King of Northern Wei's eyes twitched.
Marquis Laiyang continued, "The second rule is that anyone who has eaten poison... No one is allowed to harm each other, even if they were the ones who killed their father just a moment ago. In the next moment, we must work together. Not only must we stay in the same room, we can't attack each other. They had to carry out some tasks together. If they hurt each other... As long as they knew about it, it wasn't just about the lack of the antidote... More importantly, he could destroy a family, from top to bottom... From the old to the young, he could eliminate every single one of them. He could even destroy a family name!"
"How is that possible?"
"[They can do it.]"
"Why are you so sure?"
Marquis Laiyang sighed and said, "At this point, you might as well tell His Majesty that the person who poisoned it was Xiao Yun."
