Chapter 228
"Asshole, get out of here." Li Hao kicked Tuoba Tao aside.
Damn, this old man is so disgusting. He actually hugged his thigh and cried there, and all his tears and snot were wiped on his pants.
"General, I really didn't lie to you. Tuoba Hong has been expelled from the Tuoba family by me a long time ago, and his name on the Tuoba family genealogy has been crossed out. Everything he did really has nothing to do with my Tuoba family. Please understand, General." Tuoba Tao lay on the ground and cried loudly, and at the same time turned his head and winked at the family members next to him.
"Wuwu... It's unfair, this is really a huge injustice. Tuoba Hong, this bastard, did something, but it was blamed on us..."
"Wuwu... God, open your eyes and kill this rebel!"
"..."
At Tuoba Tao's signal, the direct members of the Tuoba family who were caught in the parade ground burst into tears one by one, accusing Tuoba Hong of crimes.
"Family, elder, you..." After being beaten with dozens of military sticks, Tuoba Hong, who had fainted from the pain, heard his family crying there, and opened his eyes again in a daze.
"Tuoba Hong, explain why you want to assassinate the general?" Tuoba Tao saw Tuoba Hong wake up, and immediately rushed to his side, pointing at him and scolding him loudly.
"I assassinated the general..." Tuoba Hong was a little confused. He just had a little language conflict with Li Hao, and then he was beaten with dozens of military sticks by Li Hao, and was also accused of assassinating the general. Li Hao's ability to call a deer a horse is world-class.
"Okay, okay, why are a group of grown men crying? Since Tuoba Hong is no longer a member of your Tuoba family, then his affairs have nothing to do with you. It's just that the matter has been a hot topic, and it is estimated that it has already been heard by Her Majesty the Queen. If there is no problem, how should I explain it to Her Majesty the Queen?" Li Hao stood in front of Tuoba Tao, rubbing his right index finger and thumb back and forth.
When Tuoba Tao saw Li Hao's gesture, he immediately understood what he wanted? Money, bastard, you can earn it after you spend it. If you die, you will have nothing.
"General, I know that Her Majesty the Queen's war against the rebellion has consumed too much of the national treasury. My Tuoba family sees it with pain in our eyes. In order to ease the Queen's economic pressure, my Tuoba family has discussed and decided to donate 300,000 taels of gold to Her Majesty the Queen to ease Her Majesty's economic pressure." Tuoba Tao said with a righteous face.
"300,000 taels of gold, it sounds like a lot, but for the consumption of the upcoming expedition to fight the rebellion, it is really a drop in the bucket!" Li Hao said, touching his smooth chin.
In this march and war, it is important to have food and grass before the troops move. In addition to this military pay, food and grass is also a huge expense.
"General, what do you mean." Tuoba Tao was a little dumbfounded. A full 300,000 taels of gold, used to buy the lives of our family, do you still think it is not enough?
"Asshole, what do you mean by my opinion? These 300,000 taels of gold are obviously the donations you made to Her Majesty the Queen to fight against rebellion." Li Hao immediately scolded.
This money was voluntarily paid by you, not what I asked for, and the two cannot be confused. Extortion and voluntary contribution are different.
"General, in addition to 300,000 taels of gold, my Tuoba family is willing to contribute another 100,000 dan of grain and grass for war consumption." Tuoba Tao said with a bitter smile.
The money has been paid, the grain has been paid, and my family's lives are probably saved. But from now on, my Tuoba family will be branded by the queen.
"Five hundred thousand taels of gold plus one million dan of grain and grass, in addition, raise 10,000 soldiers for me, and let this matter go. I can no longer pursue the matter of Tuoba Hong assassinating this general. What do you think?" Li Hao stared at Tuoba Tao with both eyes, and said in a cold tone.
"General, we really can't afford 500,000 taels of gold and 1 million stones of grain!" Tuoba Tao cried.
Li Hao wanted so much money and grain at once. With the strength of the Tuoba family, it is not a problem to take it out, but it takes time. However, after taking out so much money and grain, their Tuoba family will suffer huge losses. It will probably take ten or eight years to recover.
"Why, you don't want to? I am making a proposal now, not discussing with you. If I kill all your family, all the money and grain of your family will be mine. I guess after the family is confiscated and exterminated, I will definitely get more than 500,000 taels of gold and 1 million stones of grain!" Li Hao's tone became cold.
The look Tuoba Tao gave Li Qingluo outside the city made Li Hao very unhappy. Dare to hit on his woman and not let Tuoba TaoTuoba Tao's family was destroyed and his people died, which was already very worthy of him. Now he didn't agree to such a small condition. Isn't this a slap in the face of Li Hao?
"I agree, I agree." When he heard that Li Hao wanted to confiscate his family and exterminate his family, Tuoba Tao was immediately anxious.
Li Hao was right in one point, that is, after Tuoba Tao's family was killed, all the money and food of the Tuoba family would be his. By then, the Tuoba family would have no money and food, and even no people.
"Okay, in this case, I can forgive the assassination of this general by your family members. You go and arrange a trustworthy person to go back, prepare the money and food, and send them all to the palace. As for Her Majesty the Queen, I will speak well for your Tuoba family and let her spare you, what do you think?" Li Hao promised Tuoba Tao in a low voice.
"Yes, General, I will immediately arrange for the old housekeeper to do it. The old housekeeper has been in our family for decades and knows where the things are. He will definitely arrange the money and grain properly." Tuoba Tao said with tears in his eyes.
Damn, I have never seen such a shameless person. And, damn Tuoba Hong, you dared to do something to the queen's people. Even if you can survive this time, I will send you to hell. Your dozens of wives and concubines and fields are just a little compensation for the family's losses!
"Well, this is okay. When the things arrive, your family can leave. Be honest in the future. If you want to play tricks, you have to see if your family has enough money for you to toss." Li Hao snorted and decided to let Tuoba Tao go for the time being. This guy has taken out all the money and grain. It would be unreasonable to kill him.
Li Hao now wants to establish an image of a money-grubber in front of the aristocratic family. No matter how big a crime you have committed, as long as you pay enough money, it is not a big deal.
