Zhou Zhengshan had nothing to say, and he didn't have the face to say anything more.
His face was pale and he had lost all his fighting spirit. He lowered his head and closed his eyes: "Princess Crown Prince, please kill me!"
This was the second time he said this today.
The winner takes it all, this has been the truth since ancient times. He admitted defeat.
Su Yao raised his eyebrows, tightened his fingers on the umbrella ribs, loosened them after a moment, and said softly: "Master Zhou, is it worth it to go from a hero to this?"
Is it worth it
Is it worth it to go from being a hero who fought against the Japanese pirates to a traitor today
Zhou Zhengshan was also asking himself this question, and then he asked sarcastically, "Is it worth it? Is it still meaningful now? I am already unforgivable."
Sansheng glanced at him calmly at this time: "If I were you, I would not ask this question to Her Royal Highness the Crown Grand Princess, but to myself. Is it worth it for you to fall to this point? If it is not worth it, then you should think carefully about whether you want to atone for your sins."
As soon as the words "atonify sins" were uttered, Zhou Zhengshan trembled all over.
Yes, it's not completely without chance.
If...
Su Yao seemed to be able to see through his thoughts at this moment, and took a few steps forward with the umbrella: "Master Zhou, if you still want to make amends, why not give up the mastermind behind the scenes? In this way, you can at least win a glimmer of hope for your wife and daughter, what do you think?"
Thinking of his wife and daughter at home, Zhou Zhengshan's eyes were filled with pain.
He said nothing.
The sky was already bright, and it was almost time to open the city gates. Su Yao was too lazy to remain in a stalemate with Zhou Zhengshan, so he nodded to Liujie and Sansheng, who then pulled Zhou Zhengshan away.
Before leaving, Su Yao made a special trip to call Zhou Zhengshan.
When Zhou Zhengshan turned his head to look at Su Yao, he heard Su Yao's calm tone: "Master Zhou still has to live well. I am not afraid that Master Zhou will not figure it out in one day or two days. As long as you think about it slowly, I believe you will figure it out. I am willing to give you time, but you'd better live. Otherwise, Master Zhou will die first, and I will wipe out your Zhou family right after!"
When the word "genocide" came out, Zhou Zhengshan was shocked and looked at Su Yao in disbelief.
Does Su Yao mean to wipe out his entire family
Su Yao smiled, and seeing that Zhou Zhengshan seemed to be unable to react, he kindly explained to him: "Sir Zhou, you shouldn't be surprised, right? You led the Japanese pirates into the city, which is treason, and you led the troops to attack, which is intended to assassinate the crown prince and the crown princess, which is treason. Treason plus treason, no matter which crime, is enough to destroy Sir Zhou's nine clans. I know Sir Zhou is a hero, but have you asked all your Zhou family's in-laws and old friends if they are willing to go to hell with you?"
Su Yao still said this with a smile.
But Zhou Zhengshan suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand up.
What's even more terrifying is that he knows that Su Yao's threats are definitely not just verbal threats. Given Su Yao's personality, she is really capable of doing such a thing.
However, after Su Yao said this, he did not give him another chance and directly asked Liu Jie to drag him away.
Once the person left, all that was left on the ground was a mess.
Su Yao turned around and looked at the group of militiamen, saying in a gentle tone: "I'll trouble you all here."
The militiamen had watched a scene they would never forget and were still unable to react. However, when they heard Su Yao say this, they all hurriedly said they didn't dare.
Su Yao nodded and said, "You have all worked hard to guard Wujiabao. This palace knows your contributions, the court also knows your contributions, and the people of Wujiabao will remember your contributions even more. I hope you can defend the city gates and always be the backbone of Wujiabao!"
The militiamen were so excited by Su Yao's words.
In fact, a small town like Wujiabao doesn't even have any garrison troops, and most of the militiamen rely on their guns and enthusiasm.
Otherwise, the little money that the people of Wujiabao had pooled together was not a good deal compared to the risks.
But now, after Su Yao said this, they suddenly felt as if they were shrouded in a layer of light.
The Crown Princess is so good at talking!
The person who said it feels embarrassed!
They all knelt down and shouted "Long live the Crown Princess".
Su Yao turned and left.
By the time she rushed back to the ancestral home in Wujiabao, the sun was already high in the sky.
Old Master Wu and the third master of the Wu family had been waiting for her anxiously, and they were relieved to see her return safe and sound.
Mr. Wu hurriedly caught up and asked Su Yao if he was okay.
Su Yao shook his head, saying that he was fine, and then told the story that Zhou Zhengshan was a traitor.
Old Master Wu and the Third Master of the Wu family were both speechless for a moment.
Although Su Yao had reminded them before, they also knew that someone must have colluded with the pirates, but they did not expect that there would be such a high-ranking official behind it.
Of course, this is a high-ranking official for Wujiabao.
Neither of them spoke for a long time.
After a long while, Mr. Wu finally sighed, "What can I say? General Zhou has been here several times before, always accompanying the army on patrols. He seemed like a nice guy."
I never thought that General Zhou would collude with pirates.
In the past, General Zhou fought very hard to fight pirates.
The third master of the Wu family was a very smart man, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Su Yao was fine as usual, she just felt a little dizzy from the wind and sneezed suddenly.
The sneeze startled the five elders, and they hurriedly asked someone to make ginger soup. They also urged Su Yao: "Your Highness, please go back and have a rest. It's been a whole night and you haven't slept. You must be tired from running around..."
But I admire him very much in my heart.
For a girl to be able to achieve this, it’s no wonder that she could become the Crown Prince’s Consort.
The future mother of a country must be so capable, otherwise who among ordinary people can be the mother of a country
Su Yao was indeed very tired. Besides, everything had come to an end for the time being. Those who should be arrested had been arrested, and there was no need to rush the interrogation. So he agreed, and after saying a few words to Mr. Wu and the third master of the Wu family, he returned to his own yard.
Mother Shen was eagerly waiting and had already prepared the hot water. As soon as Su Yao came back, she first gave Su Yao a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger soup, and then helped Su Yao take a bath.
After helping Su Yao get a change of clothes, Mother Shen had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing how tired Su Yao looked, she didn't care about her own questions and hurriedly asked Su Yao to go and rest.
All matters had been resolved, and Su Yao slept until the evening.
When she woke up, the wind and rain had stopped, and there were still faint dark clouds in the sky. Mother Shen was sitting by the bed watching over her. When she saw that she had woken up, she smiled and asked someone to bring food up: "Miss, you are awake! I cooked your favorite porridge for you. Get up and have something to eat."
