Chapter 582: Desperate Sun Zhongmou
Chapter 582: Desperate Sun Zhongmou
The big knife in Shen Tao's hand was about to chop down.
Suddenly, a voice like the sound of heaven rang out.
"Leave people under the knife!"
A figure flew down from the official ship. It was Hu Jinghui, who had personally captured Sun Zhongmou.
He landed beside Shen Tao and Xiao Bao and reached out to grab Sun Zhongmou by the back of the neck.
"Your Highness Duke Qin is still too soft-hearted. He said that although this man is extremely stupid, he is not hopeless. He just likes to be clever."
"So, His Royal Highness Duke Qin ordered me to bring him up to see if he is sincere in changing his ways and telling the truth."
"If this thief is still the same as before, he will definitely be beheaded and his entire clan will be exterminated according to the rules."
Hu Jinghui made some secret threats and dragged Sun Zhongmou onto the official ship again.
He has followed Li Cunxi for a long time. Since the Youzhou case, Li Cunxi has adopted the principle of killing an entire family when one person commits a crime.
Over the years, countless relatives of criminals have died at the hands of Li Cunxi.
There were so many people who executed nine clans, exterminated three clans, or killed one family that it is simply impossible to count them.
This Sun Zhongmou, who is known as Sun Shiwan, has committed a serious crime and refuses to repent. If he continues to conceal it, the extermination of his entire clan may be the lightest punishment.
Thinking of this, Hu Jinghui glanced at the nearby ship building gate and reminded:
"This is your last chance. As the saying goes, once, twice, but not a third time. If you still dare to be stubborn, you should go to the underworld to explore the way for your nine clans first."
Sun Zhongmou regretted his decision, so how could he still pretend to be smart?
After entering the ship's tower and seeing Li Cunxi again, Sun Zhongmou fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The criminal general Sun Zhongmou colluded with the thieves, created a major crime, and intended to rebel. He deserves to be put to death!"
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin, is kind-hearted and has pardoned the criminal several times. Even if the criminal dies a thousand times, it will be hard for him to repay your kindness!"
"The general will now confess everything he knows."
Sun Zhongmou was really scared.
He was afraid that the big knife would fall on his head.
He had chopped off countless people's heads, so he didn't want to be beheaded too.
In just half an incense stick of time, Sun Zhongmou confessed everything he knew about the Han Canal boat capsizing case, and also confessed most of the people he knew.
As for those whose names he couldn't remember, it was purely because they were not in Sun Zhongmou's eyes.
In order to prevent a despicable villain like Sun Zhongmou from changing his confession and pretending to be a rogue in the future, Li Cunxi asked him to sign his confession.
Lu Dayou copied for a long time and finally let out a long sigh.
"I have finally finished copying it. Judging from this list, all the officials in Yangzhou have boarded this pirate ship."
Li Cunxi touched his chin and said, "Sun Zhongmou is the highest military commander in Yangzhou after all. It's not surprising that he knows all this. I guess when Yuan Qi tried to recruit him, he must have mentioned a lot of people's names and even brought a lot of people to help him."
"Hehehe, how would those idiots know? Before today, our evidence was not enough to identify those people."
"Yes, if it weren't for this smart-aleck idiot, we wouldn't have so much evidence."
Li Cunxi chuckled twice and turned to look at Sun Zhongmou.
For a moment, Sun Zhongmou suddenly felt a chill between his legs.
If he heard correctly, the two men were saying that they had no substantial evidence at all.
And he, Sun Zhongmou!
He handed the list to Li Cunxi personally!
He was frightened by these people and forgot how secretive what they were doing was!
"Are you trying to trick me?"
Sun Zhongmou suddenly realized and struggled frantically.
"Li Cunxi, Li Cunxi!"
"You are breaking the law!"
"There is no law that allows you to trick people into confessing and then convict them!"
"Li Cunxi, you are such an ungrateful person, such an ungrateful person!!!"
Li Cunxi felt nothing at all, he was just playing with this kind of shameless bastard.
Lu Dayou put down the brush in his hand and frowned:
"Someone, slap him!"
"Slap him for me, this beast who deceives his superiors and subordinates, disregards the grace of God, commits crimes, harms the people, is indecisive, is guilty of the ten unforgivable crimes, and deserves to be put to death!"
"You openly insulted the imperial envoy. Today, I will charge you with contempt for His Majesty!"
"Come here, send someone to Luoyang to retrieve the files on this thief, and bring his wife and children to Yangzhou. After this case is concluded, we will execute them all together!"
Lu Dayou's order was Li Cunxi's order at this moment.
It's just a matter of changing someone to be the bad guy.
A Qianniu guard answered outside the door and then led his men away.
“No, no, don’t!!!”
Sun Zhongmou's eyes widened.
He didn't know either, he was just scolding a mere imperial envoy, the head of all officials, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the governor of Henan Province.
Why should his entire family be executed?
What qualifications did Li Cunxi have to execute the entire family of a guerrilla general?
Could it be because Li Cunxi was ranked second, and he was just a guerrilla general of the fifth rank?
Bullying those below you is not what a head of an official should do!
Sun Zhongmou's eyes widened and he cried like a storm.
"No, Li Cunxi, if you do this, you will be punished by God!"
"How could you kill an entire family with just a few words? How could you do this? How could you do this?"
"The heavens are above, the earth is below, and all the gods and immortals are watching you, the filthy head of the government!"
"You abused your power and wanted to kill my whole family. You know that I, Sun Zhongmou, represent justice, and you, Li Cunxi, help the emperor, which represents evil. We, the righteous, will surely defeat you evil beasts. You killed my whole family, and you will surely be punished by God soon!!!"
Sun Zhongmou had gone mad. He cursed and roared, his eyes filled with sadness and regret.
He hated himself for not taking action earlier and killing Li Cunxi and others directly.
Yuan Qi's bullshit of enduring humiliation for a while caused him to fall to his current state. He was not able to atone for his crime with merits, but instead his entire family was to be executed.
"You damned beasts, I tell you, I won't let you go even if I die!"
"You will soon find out how powerful we are!"
Seeing that Li Cunxi and Lu Dayou didn't even look at him and crushed him like an ant, Sun Zhongmou's mentality completely exploded.
"Although I am dead, Prince Ying Yuanqi is still here!"
"Since you already know the true identity of Prince Ying Yuanqi, so what?"
"He is the leader of the Iron Hand Group!"
"He has thousands of people under his command!"
"He will kill all of you, a few hundred people, and let you know what it means to kill without blinking an eye!!"
Hu Jinghui sneered, looking down upon this short-sighted and stupid fellow even more.
I can only say, no wonder he is called Sun Zhongmou.
Really, so smart!
"Who are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
Sun Zhongmou said angrily.
