The next day, Sun Quan publicly executed Li Shu, the former governor of Lujiang. This incident happened so suddenly and without warning that people were talking about it for a while.
Some people believe that this is a precursor to Sun Quan's complete falling out with the Demon Sect, and some well-informed people think that it is related to the recent experiences of the Xu family. No matter what, everyone has a consensus, that is, Li Shu will never escape this level.
execution ground,
"So, do you have any last words?" Sun Quan approached Li Shu and said.
Li Shu's hands and feet were tied, and he knelt on the ground, unable to move. Looking up at Sun Quan, a smile suddenly appeared on his weak and pale face,
"I'll tell you a secret, can you spare my life?"
Sun Quan also smiled. He had already expected Li Shu's words. After all, in order to avoid accidents, Sun Quan had used an illusion to simulate it beforehand. Therefore, if Sun Quan answers in the affirmative here, Sun Quan actually knows exactly what secret Li Shu will tell.
Li Shu is worthy of being Li Shu, and he immediately grasped Sun Quan's weakness. In the illusion, Li Shu claimed that he knew Sun Jian's whereabouts and would take Sun Quan to find Sun Jian as long as Sun Quan was willing to let him go. And Li Shu swore that if Sun Jian was not found, Sun Quan would not be too late to kill him. Anyway, he would never run away until Sun Jian was found. Sun Quan could send people to monitor him at any time.
At this time, a normal person would at least give it a try with the mentality of rather trusting it than trusting it.
Unfortunately, Sun Quan would not be fooled. Li Shu's purpose was to delay time. As long as Sun Quan wavered even a little bit, he would be able to hold on until the news from Sun Ce came back.
"I am interested in hearing your secrets, but I will not spare your life." Sun Quan replied to Li Shu.
Li Shu was stunned.
"You are really cruel and heartless." Then he lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear,
"What if it has something to do with your father Sun Jian."
While speaking, Li Shu stared at Sun Quan's face closely, trying to read the changes in Sun Quan's heart from Sun Quan's face.
However, what shocked Li Shu was that he didn't see any change on Sun Quan's face! is it possible? ! Even the most powerful person in the city would have at least a slight change on his face, unless Sun Quan was indifferent to this sentence from the bottom of his heart.
Is it possible that Sun Quan doesn't care about Sun Jian's life or death at all? This guy is a ruthless villain? Or did Sun Quan actually know Sun Jian's whereabouts? If this is true, what is the purpose of Sun Jian hiding for so many years?
Thinking of this, Li Ru suddenly laughed at himself. The habit has broken again. Others are going to die. What’s the point of thinking about this? The truth has nothing to do with him, Li Ru.
"What you want to say, I don't mind listening to it. But again, I am interested in hearing your secrets, but I will not let you go. When the time comes, the execution will be carried out immediately." Sun Quan said.
Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"If you don't leave a way for others to survive, even if I have any important secrets, I won't be able to tell you."
"No, no, no." Sun Quan shook his head, "Those who don't want to die have the desire to live. No matter how deadly I say, he will try it with a sense of luck. Don't say anything, Either he has nothing to say, or he doesn't care about life or death. For a person who doesn't care about life and death, I don't expect him to tell me any secrets. After all, I am the one who killed him, so why should he be kind to me."
"Hey, it's really amazing." Li Ru sighed deeply, "There are few people in my life that I really admire. There is one teacher, and one is you. Sun Quan, I am not your opponent. Can you tell me the truth? How are you willing to let me go? Although I died once, I really don’t want to die!"
Hearing Li Ru's true words, Sun Quan felt quite emotional. He stretched out his hand and patted Li Ru's shoulder.
"You may not believe it, but in fact I cherish talents very much. As long as there are people with real talents and hard work, I can't wait to use them for myself. It's a pity that people always have to be responsible for what they have done. Between you and me , although there is no hatred, but I really can't convince myself to spare you."
Li Ru stared at Sun Quan. Sun Quan was so firm in his belief that even his eloquent words would not have any effect.
"You are far less broad-minded than Cao Cao." Li Ru suddenly said.
"I admit it." Sun Quan nodded. Cao Cao was a standard tycoon, and Sun Quan also admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Not long ago, in Cao Cao's camp, there was an example that was completely similar to now. Zhang Xiu also surrendered to Cao Cao for a time, and then suddenly rebelled. Not only did he almost kill Cao Cao, he also killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and the fierce general Dian Wei. As a result, there was such deep hatred in Sun Quan's eyes that when Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao again, Cao Cao accepted it without hesitation. This kind of mind, this kind of courage, what is it if it is not a hero? What's not to do big things!
Sun Quan boasted that he could never do the same thing. Not only is it impossible, Li Ru actually has no direct hatred against Sun Quan now, but because Li Ru killed important figures in Jiangdong, Sun Quan must kill Li Ru to avenge his men.
Sun Quan was not trying to appease the Xu family, Sun Quan's purpose was to scare the monkeys! If anyone dares to touch Sun Quan's people in the future, it's best to think about it in advance.
From this perspective, Cao Cao followed the tyrannical path of repaying evil with kindness, while Sun Quan took the overbearing approach of repaying kindness with kindness!
"You know it but you do it deliberately. I'm afraid the world in the future will not belong to your Sun family!" Li Ru said coldly.
"Haha, Li Ru, Li Ru, these words coming from your mouth are really ridiculous." Sun Quan burst into laughter suddenly, "You should understand better than anyone else that the master of the world is not elected, but fought out Yes. What is being compared is not the popularity of the people, what is being compared is - fists."
While the two were talking, a frail woman appeared in the execution ground surrounded by a group of people for protection.
This girl is not very old, not two years younger than Sun Quan, but in terms of seniority, she is Sun Quan's niece. Xu Kun is Sun Quan's cousin and the son of Sun Quan's aunt. As Xu Kun's daughter, this woman is naturally the younger Sun Quan.
Xu Kun's daughter originally married into the Lu family, a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and married Lu Shang, the grandson of Lu Kang, due to a family marriage. Lu Kang, as the head of the Lu family, was the governor of Lujiang at the time, and Lu Shang was Lu Kang's direct grandson. This marriage was a strong alliance. At that time, Lu Shang was much more famous and distinguished than his cousin, Lu Xun, who was a descendant of the Lu family. From this point of view, the girl from the Xu family was considered to have married into a good match.
Unfortunately, God's will played a trick on people. At that time, Sun Ce was still under Yuan Shu's command and he attacked Lujiang for Yuan Shu. As a result, Lu Kang died of illness and Lu Shang also died in the war. From that time on, this girl from the Xu family became a widow.
I lost my husband because of the Sun family, and I lost my father because of the Sun family. Although the two incidents were not directly related to Sun Quan, whenever Sun Quan saw his niece, he felt that he owed her so much.
