Chapter 581 Sun Zhongmou, the Smart One
Li Cunxi was surprised for a second.
But it was only a surprise for a second.
He said with regret: "Since General Sun himself does not want to live and does not cherish the opportunity given by me, then let's do as he says."
"Someone, drag General Sun out and behead him!"
"Remember to wrap that great man's head in cloth and send it to the residence of Prince Ying Yuanqi, so that Yuanqi will know how powerful I am."
Outside the door, Shen Tao and Xiao Bao pushed open the door and strode in.
Their attention quickly focused on Sun Zhongmou, who had a confused look on his face.
The two men stepped forward, grabbed Sun Zhongmou on the left and right, and were about to carry him out to behead him.
Sun Zhongmou was carried away three or two steps, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he began to struggle frantically.
"Your Highness, Duke Qin, Your Highness, Duke Qin!"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"I was just pretending to be a coward. I don't want to die, Your Highness Duke Qin!"
"I am a shameless person. I thought that His Royal Highness Duke Qin was deceiving me. I deserve death, but I also want to make amends!"
Sun Zhongmou had snot and tears all over his face, and it was obvious that he had a strong desire to survive.
only……
It seems a little late.
Li Cunxi sat alone at the table, drinking from a small cup, without even looking at Sun Zhongmou who was begging for mercy loudly.
Sun Zhongmou wanted to slap himself three hundred thousand times for being so mean. Now, Li Cunxi didn't need him to make amends.
When facing death, people's instinct to survive is often the strongest.
At this moment, countless reasons for begging for mercy emerged in Sun Zhongmou's mind, but were denied one by one.
It seemed that no matter how much he begged for mercy now, Li Cunxi would not let him live.
After a long silence, Sun Zhongmou suddenly looked at Lu Dayou, who was standing aside and had not said a word from beginning to end.
He remembered this silent man. He had seen Lu Dayou from a distance once some time ago.
This is Lu Dayou, the counselor under Li Cunxi, and also the most taciturn minister in Li Cunxi's team!
If there is still a way to survive now, it must be Lu Dayou!
"Doctor Lu, Doctor Lu!"
"Please, please, save my life, save my life!"
"I am willing to give up my entire fortune just for a chance to make amends!"
Lu Dayou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his head.
A scorching light burst out from those calm eyes, and he instantly became much more energetic.
"What did you say?"
"You're going to give away your entire fortune, aren't you?"
Lu Dayou showed a greedy look.
"Okay, okay, then it's settled. I like yellow and white things the best."
Lu Dayou quickly turned to Li Cunxi and said,
"Cunxi, please give him a chance. You and I both know how much money a guerrilla general in the important town of Yangzhou can make!"
"His total wealth is quite a lot. You can divide it into 50% and give each of you a share. I can take the money and go home to find a wife, right?"
When Sun Zhongmou heard this, he nodded quickly.
He just thought that Li Cunxi would definitely listen to Lu Dayou's advice.
But he himself didn't realize it.
Just after he asked Lu Dayou for help, Shen Tao and Xiao Bao, who were carrying him out, had slowed down their pace.
Unfortunately, Sun Zhongmou was a fool. He didn't know how to read people's expressions and didn't have much brains. He only knew how to bark like a dog, so naturally he couldn't notice the current situation.
He looked at Li Cunxi with eager eyes, sincerely hoping that Li Cunxi would agree to let him make amends.
Li Cunxi was silent for a long time, sighed helplessly, and said:
"Dayou, why bother."
"With the evidence we have, we can directly attack Prince Ying Yuanqi and destroy his Iron Hand Group. Then we can capture a few informants and force them to reveal the names of the officials in Yangzhou who have colluded with the rebellion, and finally kill them all."
"When they are all dead, aren't these silver coins what I am waiting for?"
"When the time comes, everyone will get more, so why should he offer it up on his own initiative?"
Sun Zhongmou's face changed drastically and he immediately looked at Lu Dayou.
Under his gaze, the light in Lu Dayou's eyes disappeared completely, and he returned to his previous state of lowering his head and not saying a word.
Li Cunxi glanced at Sun Zhongmou again and said, "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't want it. Your silver will still be ours after you die."
"If you can't tell me a secret that's worth my attention, then you should just go with peace of mind, Sun Shiwan."
Sun Zhongmou struggled to his death and said: "I do. I know many secrets, many, many secrets!"
Even now, Sun Zhongmou still wants to wait for a good price.
After Li Cunxi saw through the clumsy tricks of this damn idiot, he opened his thin lips and
"three."
Sun Zhongmou was stunned.
"Two." Li Cunxi arrived in Yangzhou.
"I really do..."
"Towed away."
Shen Tao and Xiao Bao worked together to support Sun Zhongmou and strode directly out of the deck.
What a joke! This idiot has been delaying time again and again, and Li Cunxi has become impatient. This guy still wants to get more bargaining chips for himself. Naturally, it would be best to kill him directly.
Sun Zhongmou finally panicked.
He shouted loudly, hoping that Li Cunxi would look at him one last time.
But Li Cunxi just took a sip of wine and didn't even look at him.
Shen Tao and Xiao Bao carried the naked Sun Zhongmou to the bottom of the boarding ladder, kicked him in the knee, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"You idiot, His Royal Highness Duke Qin wanted to spare your life twice, but you were the one who delayed it."
"Humph, this idiot thought that the little information he knew could give him more bargaining chips. He really gave him face."
"Yes, we may know all that information. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more benefits. Isn't this just courting death?"
"Okay, brother, let's not waste our time and just chop off this idiot's head so we can go back and have a drink to relieve our boredom."
"That's true. Tonight, the brothers all have their own tasks, but the two of us have to stay here to protect the adults. It's better to drink some wine to relieve boredom."
Shen Tao and Xiao Bao were chatting among themselves, and a lot of information was revealed in just a few words.
Sun Zhongmou was terrified and didn't care about his dignity. He struggled to turn his head and look at Shen Tao who was holding a machete.
Under the cold moonlight, the broadsword shone with a sharp cold light.
The big knife would chop off his head immediately just because he had been so clever several times.
Information flashed through his mind, and as the machete was about to fall, he shouted:
"I know a list of people who formed a clique and engaged in private activities like Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng!"
"They also colluded with Prince Ying Yuanqi, won over seven or eight out of ten officials in Yangzhou, and planned the Han Canal boat capsize incident, which led to the salt shortage in Huaibei!"
“I know a lot of people!”
"Please tell His Royal Highness Duke Qin what I said!"
Sun Zhongmou burst into tears, suffered from urinary incontinence, and was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
Shen Tao and Xiao Bao exchanged glances and said:
"My Lord doesn't need you anymore, go to hell!"
