This was a thrilling conversation. Song Guxi suddenly felt that she didn't understand the man in front of her at all.
She has been exposed to the hardships of the world since she was a child, and has traveled alone in the world. She has met all kinds of people, but she has never seen such a pattern and courage.
In front of this man, any pretense is meaningless, and the conspiracy he carefully planned is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and said quietly: "Can the slave family still survive?"
Zhu Qizhen felt a little funny and asked: "What do you think?"
Song Guxi tied up a strand of broken hair on her temples and said seriously: "Okay, now I want to negotiate with you."
"Negotiation? Why?"
Zhu Qizhen laughed even harder. It was a sneer.
What qualifications does a prisoner have to negotiate with the Ming Emperor?
It is already a great favor that I can come here to talk to you face to face. It is ridiculous that you still want to negotiate with me!
Song Guxi also smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't want to hear what bargaining chips the slave family has in their hands?"
Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly and said: "It's just some silver. If I guessed correctly, except for the last ten million taels of silver absorbed by Longsheng Bank, most of the rest were transferred by you.
No?"
"That's right!"
Song Guxi nodded and said: "This money is hidden overseas. If there is no slave family, I am afraid no one can get it."
"I don't care!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"Isn't it just money? I have never been short of money, and the Ming Dynasty is not short of money either. As for those who have been deceived by you, just teach them a lesson!"
Song Guxi was silent, and after a while, she said: "Okay, I don't have any other bargaining chips, just kill me."

Zhu Qizhen's face slowly darkened and he said, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
"How could the emperor not dare? Not to mention the Northern Expedition to destroy the Oara, only eucalyptus was smuggled in the south of the Yangtze River. The number of people who died under the emperor's sword was not one hundred thousand, but eighty thousand. This little girl's life is worthless. To the emperor, it is as good as
There is no difference if you crush an ant to death. It's just a pity..."
Song Guxi sighed and said no more, with a resentful expression on her face.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt that this woman was so extraordinary. Her every frown and smile were full of charm, which made people feel pity for her.
If such a person can be used by oneself, it would be a good choice.
It's a pity that I have to be determined to fight against myself.
"I'm standing here now to give you the last chance. If you have anything to say, you'd better say it clearly. When I get out of this door, you won't have a chance to say it."
Song Guxi slowly raised her head and said: "Fifty million taels!"
"What?"
"The Nu family has already transferred most of the money absorbed by Longsheng Bank. It's roughly fifty million taels. Is it enough to buy the Nu family's life?"
"I have said before, you are not qualified to negotiate with me, and I am not short of money!"
When Song Guxi learned that she would inevitably die, she felt less nervous.
"The slave family took the initiative to hand over the fifty million taels of silver, and only asked the emperor to agree to one condition of the slave family."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head slowly and said: "I told you, you are not qualified to raise conditions!"
Song Guxi thought for a while and then said: "Then... the slave family has a request, is it okay?"
Zhu Qizhen's expression softened slightly, and then he said: "Let's talk about it, but I may not agree to it."
Song Guxi nodded slightly and said: "Since the First World War in Nanjing, the Nu family has been dormant and secretly recruiting troops. There are probably more than 5,000 people there so far. After the Nu family died, they will not cause any trouble. The emperor should not pursue it anymore. After all, they are all
I was deceived by the slave family..."
"Do you know now how serious the sins you have committed are?"
Zhu Qizhen lowered his face again and said: "For your own selfish desires, you did not hesitate to hijack those innocent people. Now they are about to die because of you, but you are here pretending to be a good person?"
"I, I..."
Song Guxi was speechless and could only say: "Forget it, begging you is in vain, just do whatever you like!"
"I don't need your teaching!"
Zhu Qizhen was about to leave, but he couldn't bear it. He stopped immediately and said: "Their path was chosen by themselves. Now it is not you or me who determine their life or death, but themselves!"
"They...themselves?"
Song Guxi seemed a little confused, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved.
"The slave family seems to...understand!"
"Now that you understand, then do what you should do!"
Song Guxi smiled faintly, leaned down and bowed, lowered his head and said: "The slave family will reveal all the overseas silver hiding places, as well as all the White Lotus Sect personnel and secret strongholds. In short, whatever the emperor needs, the slave family will tell the truth.
”
"You are a smart man!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Remember, if I want to kill you, no one can stop me. You are not qualified to stand in front of me and negotiate terms. However, you can kneel down and beg for mercy. If I see you confess,
If you have a good attitude, you may be spared your life. But you have to remember that these favors are given to you by me and are not earned by yourself. Do you understand?"
Song Guxi leaned on the ground, with a gentle expression like a little kitten, and respectfully replied: "The slave family is aware of the crime, and I hope that the emperor has a lot of money and does not care about a little girl from the slave family. If the emperor has any request,
, just give the slave family orders. Although the slave family has no wealth, it is still possible to serve others."
It would be difficult for any man to control such a pitiful look.
"I don't need your service!"
Zhu Qizhen walked out and said without looking back: "Write down everything you know, but hide a trace, you know the consequences!"
"The slave family obeys the order!"
Song Guxi leaned down and bowed down. When she heard the footsteps getting farther and farther, she slowly raised her head.
This time, her face no longer had the confident and playful smile before, but instead, there was a kind of loneliness.
I originally thought that all men in the world could be controlled by my own applause, but today I miscalculated.
Whether life or death will come next is unknown, but none of that matters anymore.
From now on, there will be no more White Lotus Sect, no more Song Guxi.
If he can survive, he will become an ordinary Ming Dynasty citizen. Song Guxi is just a name, no different from Zhang San and Li Si.
What Jianwen and orthodoxy are not worth mentioning in front of others.
He is the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can shake his status.
The Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and those so-called power struggles have actually disappeared long ago.
Looking back on what I have done over the years and where I am today, it is entirely my own fault.
