After Chu Ze had eaten, he slowly went to find Sun Zhengde.
At this time, Sun Zhengde was tied to the tree trunk and was dying.
When he noticed someone coming, he only raised his eyelids and didn't even have the strength to speak.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with the "entertainment" last night.
Chu Ze didn't get too close.
He found a stone and sat down. Chu Ze only asked -
"Want to die or live?"
Sun Zhengde did not respond.
Chu Ze didn't even bother to ask a second time, and said directly: "If you have the guts, then go ahead, as long as you don't die." After Chu Ze finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Sun Zhengde's pupils shrank.
"Wait...wait, a moment." A voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible blew into Chu Ze's ears with the morning breeze.
Chu Ze paused in his steps.
A fierce light quickly burst out in Sun Zhengde's eyes. He stared closely at Chu Ze's back, as if looking at his own life-saving straw.
"We... want to live."
Chu Ze raised the corner of his mouth.
He called Zhao Si and said, "Let him go and take good care of him. Don't let him run away."
Zhao Si: "Don't worry, sir."
The team continued to move forward. Sun Zhengde was now lying in the carriage, his face was pale, his lips were light-colored, and he looked weak.
At this time, he was half leaning on the soft pillow, looking at Chu Ze in fear.
"What do you want to know?" Sun Zhengde's voice was hoarse and sickly.
Compared with him, Chu Ze seemed much calmer.
He even poured himself a cup of tea leisurely, drank it slowly, and then said leisurely: "Everything you know."
Sun Zhengde: "..."
Although Sun Zhengde had no great achievements in his life, it was smooth sailing.
He never regretted the decisions he made.
But this time, he really regretted it.
He underestimated the enemy.
He thought that Chu Ze was just a capable official, but he didn't expect that this man could be so cruel and ruthless.
That night, he briefly wanted to die.
But you can't die at all.
Now he felt pain all over even when he saw Chu Ze.
If he had known that he would end up like this, he would never have taken that dead end.
Now he has no choice.
Sun Zhengde had no choice but to confess honestly.
The divine sect was founded more than two years ago. Soon after its establishment, Sun Zhengde joined it. He was not at odds with him, and he was still considered an old man.
But Sun Zhengde's status in the church was not very high.
But this time, it was Sun Zhengde who took the initiative to ask for help.
The goal is Chu Ze.
It is not entirely correct to say that Chu Ze is not right, because their real purpose is to obtain the weapons made by Chu Ze.
According to the previous plan, Sun Zhengde should find a way to enter the school founded by Chu Ze.
But he didn't expect that he would meet Chu Ze outside Yingtian Mansion.
So Sun Zhengde changed his mind.
Having said this, Sun Zhengde couldn't help but sigh lowly, which showed how much he regretted it at this time.
Yes, but there is no point in regretting it now.
Facing Chu Ze's cold gaze, Sun Zhengde could only continue.
"Our divine religion believes in the Supreme God, and the leader is called the God Lord. In our teachings, as long as you sincerely worship the Supreme God, you can escape from hell after death, enter the heaven, and become a god."
"Wait a minute." Sun Zhengde was promoting their teachings when Chu Ze suddenly interrupted him and said, "How come we heard that if you want to become a god in heaven after death, you need to pay?"
"Yes, Lao Wu was saying last time that only money from offerings can help them find gods in heaven." Zhu Xi remembered those words very clearly.
Because it had been a long time since he'd heard something stupid like this.
Sun Zhengde explained: "There is also such a saying, but it is only for rich people."
"Oh, making money." Chu Ze summed it up in two words.
Although Sun Zhengde doesn't want to admit it, it is the fact.
Seeing Sun Zhengde nodding, Chu Ze asked again: "Why are you collecting money?"
Sun Zhengde's face paled for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "Enjoy it."
"Enjoy it?" Chu Ze raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Sun Zhengde nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is enjoyment. Who doesn't love money in this world? Who doesn't want to enjoy it when you have money?"
That's right.
"Then enjoy your enjoyment and worry about what our weapons do." Chu Ze focused on the key point again.
Looking at Sun Zhengde's ever-changing face, Chu Ze reminded him: "Sun Zhengde, you'd better tell the truth about everything you know now. We are keeping you alive now because you are still useful. If you are useless, we will There is no need to save your life. You don’t want to die, right? At least you don’t want to die in our hands.” The last sentence was a naked threat.
Sun Zhengde's expression changed slightly, and he didn't dare to say a word.
As Chu Ze said, even if he wanted to die, he didn't want to die in Chu Ze's hands.
He had enjoyed enough of the "treatment" that night.
Sun Zhengde sighed softly and said: "Okay, let's all say that we use this money to recruit troops and organize troops to compete with the imperial court."
Chu Ze and Zhu Xi looked at each other in surprise but not surprise.
"You want to rebel?" Zhu Ping's eyes instantly turned cold. He squinted and looked at Sun Zhengde dangerously.
Sun Zhengde couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this.
He asked Zhu Xi: "What is rebellion? Isn't this how your Zhu family obtained the world? Before you successfully obtained the world, you were just one of them who rebelled against the king. What are you doing now? , is there any difference?”
"Why is there no difference! At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was in a state of decay, and the people of the world were suffering. Only then did our father hold high the flag of righteousness and lead the people to resist the Yuan Dynasty. But now, our father is deeply concerned about the world and thinks about it every day. In order to keep the people fed and clothed, you still want to rebel. This is nothing but a traitor." Zhu Xi glared at Sun Zhengde fiercely.
Hearing this, Sun Zhengde sneered and said: "You still have enough food and clothing? Go to Fujian and take a closer look to see if the people there are well fed and clothed! They say we are treason, but it is because we have not yet conquered the world. Wait for us After the divine religion has successfully conquered the world, who dares to say that we are treason?"
Even future history books will have to write that they held high the banner of righteousness.
If you really want to calculate it, what is the difference between them and Zhu Yuanzhang?
Sun Zhengde was very unhappy with Zhu Xi's attitude.
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Ping who was so angry that he wanted to take action. He reached out and patted Zhu Ping's shoulder to comfort him.
Then he looked at Sun Zhengde: "Sun Zhengde, you don't need to flaunt your selfishness so high. If you want to be an emperor, just say it. Who doesn't have the dream of being an emperor? But even if you let your own people rob each other, let yourself This is not what a benevolent king should do. It is not unfair at all to say that you are a cult. Now, let’s talk about this god.”
When Sun Zhengde heard Chu Ze's words, his expression changed for a moment, and finally he sighed again.
"The Lord's name is Ye Zongcheng. He is from Xucuo Village, Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province. He is 38 years old."
