13 Threat
Anyway, if you move your hands, there will be no little dolls.
Hu Qinglian didn't look sideways, his heart was ashamed, he just pretended that he didn't hear Xu Muzhou's question, and it was impossible to tell him everything.
Now he is in the state of "It's useless to ask questions, it's a life-threatening situation".
"It's quite professional." Xu Muzhou was not in a hurry, since the letter could not achieve the effect of coercion, he would use another threat.
He picked up the secret letter that fell on the ground, and tapped it lightly with his fingertips, "Young Master Hu is moral and refuses to reveal it, so... what if I reveal your other identity to the public?"
"Will Young Master Hu consider cooperating?"
To hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches. Xu Muzhou understands this very well.Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Qinglian's expression changed drastically.
Because this so-called "another identity" is the Achilles' heel that Hu Qinglian is most afraid of being known to outsiders.
Hu Qinglian was originally born in a family, and his ancestors were all civil servants for three generations, not to mention rich and powerful, but in the local prefectures, he was also a figure with head and face and full of reputation.
However, because of the literary inquisition initiated by the regent Shen Ye, Hu Qinglian's father was given an indelible stigma, and the Hu family was also implicated. Almost all adult men and women were beheaded. Only ten years old, escaped death.
But he was also fined and exiled to the border, and was a slave for generations.
On the way to exile, encountering sand and dust by chance, the yellow wind howled and swept across, the escort team was dispersed, and Hu Qinglian fell into a cave and survived by luck.
Later, he wandered around in the desert like a walking corpse, and met a group of quacks who were dressed strangely and could not distinguish between male and female.
These people said that going with them would save his life.Hu Qinglian felt that they were not good people, but he had no other choice, so he followed them.
Afterwards, those people created a new identity for him. Although the name has not changed, the living Hu Qinglian has been completely reborn.When he arrived at Huajie and Liuxiang, he had to do as the Romans did, and learned many tricks of fox charmers, so that he could make a living by attracting guests.
If he gets older, he will become the number one card in the brothel.
And these romantic places called "brothels" are also places where the affiliated organizations of the Red Flower Society cultivate killers behind them, so Hu Qinglian naturally has to follow suit.
But in the end he hated this kind of life, found an opportunity, created a "fake death" and escaped.Then he came to a restaurant in Xialiang County, put on his mask, and became a qin performer who sold his skills but not his body.
When Xu Xiuyu redeemed him and asked him to seduce Xu Muzhou, even if he killed him, he would never have imagined that the person he was looking for had such a complicated life experience.
But now, these things were dug out by Xu Muzhou.
The Red Flower Society's methods are brutal, and the methods used to treat defectors are even more terrifying than ordinary people can imagine.
So as long as Xu Muzhou announces his other identity, Hu Qinglian's life will be worse than death.
"I heard that the traitors of the Red Flower Society have a miserable end. Is it true, Mr. Hu?" Xu Muzhou could see Hu Qinglian's wavering, and planned to take advantage of it.
Hu Qinglian's eyes stared straight, as if he had lost all vitality, "How do you know these things?"
Xu Muzhou smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own secret weapon."
Hu Qinglian fell into silence again, not wanting to be threatened by Xu Muzhou, and also afraid of falling into the clutches of the Red Flower Society again, thinking to himself, quickly find an opportunity to kill himself.
Xu Muzhou knew that he wanted to die, so he would not let it go: "Don't worry, I just want to hear what kind of deal Xu Xiuyu made with you, and what purpose is there for letting you approach me."
"I won't do him any harm. After all, Xu Xiuyu is my elder brother. Keeping him alive and being used by me is far more valuable than taking his life. I'm a businessman, as you know."
"This letter is here, and it is solid evidence." Xu Muzhou continued to shake the letter that A Yuan intercepted for him, "Actually, I don't need to go through you, I can also coerce Xu Xiuyu."
"As long as I present this letter to the old man, Xu Xiuyu's conspiracy will be revealed. What will be the consequences? Lost reputation? Expelled from the Xu family? Xu Xiuyu must be terrified, and will obediently cooperate with me."
"And I tried to persuade you because I really wanted to save your life."
"I don't want to hand you over to the Red Flower Society. I can guarantee this. Of course, Mr. Hu, this must be based on your willingness to cooperate with me."
Xu Muzhou's tongue was full of lotus flowers, and his kindness and power were combined, which made Hu Qinglian's cold face like a mask loosen a little.
Looks like there's something going on.
Xu Muzhou didn't let go of this looseness, but he also understood that it is not the best policy to pursue and fight hard at this time.So he stood up and planned to walk out of the room, leaving Hu Qinglian alone.
To break through the defenses of a person who is unwilling to cooperate is to pay attention to relaxation.
After leaving the door of the West Wing, Xu Muzhou said to A Yuan: "I don't think he is a vicious person, let's treat him kindly."
"Good young master, we won't treat Mr. Hu badly." A Yuan patted her chest.Xu Muzhou can leave, but A Yuan still has to stay here with her servants.
Then, the child pointed to the end of the corridor in the west wing, and winked: "Master, Mr. Zhuang is waiting for you there...you go over and have a look, don't make others wait."
People are small and ghosts are big.Xu Muzhou rolled his eyes helplessly.
Xu Muzhou walked to the end of the long corridor step by step, always felt that this scene seemed to have been experienced before, the night when Hu Qinglian's bridal sedan chair entered, Zhuang Bai was also waiting for him here.
The difference is that that night Zhuang Bai sat angrily, but tonight, he stood on the stone steps and looked up at the moon.
"Is the moon full tonight?" Xu Muzhou walked up to the person, and his red lips parted slightly.In fact, he could see the moon when he raised his head. Today is not the fifteenth day. What hangs in the sky is a white silver horn.
Zhuang Bai glanced at him sideways, his eyes were playful, and deliberately did not answer his words, "Is the matter over?"
"It's done." Xu Muzhou nodded.
"went well?"
"smoothly."
Zhuang Bai smiled brightly: "That's good."
Xu Muzhou found it strange that he had just come out of Hu Qinglian's room, and in order to bluff him, he had to drink the tea that he knew was drugged.Although nothing serious happened, it's strange that Zhuang Bai is so calm now.
Zhuang Bai could understand Xu Muzhou's mind, tilted his head, and said with some pride: "Do you really think I'm jealous of him? It's just that I know that Xu Xiuyu is going to harm you, and Hu Qinglian is his pawn. I don't like it." That's all."
Xu Muzhou stared at him with great interest, as if listening attentively to what he said next.
Zhuang Bai and Xu Muzhou looked at each other for a while, but finally they folded their hands on their chests and pouted their mouths high, "Well, I admit, there are people who are jealous."
Just like drunk people always say that they are not drunk, jealous jars always pretend that they are not jealous.
The two of them stood for a while under the bright moon and breezy night, Zhuang Bai found that Xu Muzhou's complexion was still not in a good mood, with abnormal flushing.
This should be because the medicine that Hu Qinglian took was too effective. Even though Xu Muzhou had taken the antidote in advance, the medicine could not be completely eliminated, and some of it remained in the body.
This "drug seduction" drama was carefully arranged by Xu Muzhou. After finding out Hu Qinglian's other identity, he predicted that Hu Qinglian might use this method against him soon.
Ask Pei Yunchu to make antidote powder in advance - general drugs can resist seven or eight, and Xu Muzhou has always carried this antidote with him.
Before entering the door of the west wing courtyard, when Xu Muzhou opened the door, he smelled a different fragrance from the room, and judged in his heart that Hu Qinglian should take action.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of closing the door, he took the Jiedu powder that he carried with him, so after drinking the hot tea that Hu Qinglian made, Xu Muzhou never lost his mind.
Those confusions and obsessions were all deliberately performed by him in cooperation with Hu Qinglian.
It's a pity, no matter how clever this person is, no matter how exquisite his face is, he can't stop his body from being driven by the medicine.
Just now Xu Muzhou confronted Hu Qinglian with his three-inch tongue, seemingly strategizing and controlling everything, but it was actually the effect of pretending to be strong.
The emotions in his body were hot and dry, and it was very annoying, Xu Muzhou could only force himself not to care about it.
This time, Zhuang Bai would not let him be so brave, he said solemnly: "Go to your room, let me help you."
Xu Muzhou thought about this so-called "help" and what kind of "help" it was, and then he, who has always been calm, turned his ears red.
"I said you, can you stop talking so nonsense!" Xu Muzhou was extremely helpless.
Zhuang Bai didn't take it seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense? I'm serious. What if you just let me help you, anyway, if you do it, there won't be a baby."
".." Xu Muzhou supported his forehead.
This guy Zhuang Bai sometimes seems to be outspoken on purpose, and he doesn't think it's wrong at all.For example, now, Xu Muzhou couldn't think of anything to refute him.
That night, Zhuang Baifei had to follow Xu Muzhou into the bedroom, and he waited for half an hour before coming out.I don't know what the two of them were doing in the room.
In short, the remaining poison of Xu Muzhou's drug was completely cured.
The next day, when Xu Muzhou was reading the account book in the study, A Yuan happily ran over and told him that Hu Qinglian was willing to cooperate.
Xu Muzhou was not surprised at all, he closed the ledger in a leisurely manner, and walked towards the west wing courtyard.
Hu Qinglian asked to have a private conversation with Xu Muzhou.Xu Muzhou asked everyone else to leave the door, and had a detailed talk with Hu Qinglian alone.
In the end, the two signed a contract with each other.Hu Qinglian promised to tell Xu Muzhou everything, but Xu Muzhou had to promise that he would not do anything that would harm Xu Xiuyu's life.
In fact, Hu Qinglian had never met Xu Xiuyu a few times, so he couldn't talk about any feelings, but after all, he paid for his body, so there was always kindness.
Xu Muzhou naturally agreed, and made a promise with Hu Qinglian in black and white.
It's just that he didn't know that it wasn't his strong coercion that made Hu Qinglian change his mind, but his sentence "I really want to save your life" yesterday touched Hu Qinglian's heartstrings to some extent.
