Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1626 Begging for mercy? 3
"You, if you say to submit all these materials, I will definitely die; but if you agree to submit only a part..." Jones slightly stretched out his index finger and pointed at the four people as he spoke. The document behind him said, "In that case, I will only be dismissed and investigated, and will not be executed...Of course, most of the family's property will also be confiscated, but no matter what, it's good that I can save my life...Ah, ah, I , I have seen how the hanging is carried out! Those people have a rope about the thickness of a child's arm around their necks. Their bodies will be suspended in the air, their hands will be tied and they will not even be able to struggle, their bodies will writhe like catfish being caught, their faces will become terrifying like ghosts, and their tongues will stick out so long... too It's terrible, it's terrible!"

Seeing this old guy frightened like this, Huanmeng couldn't bear it to some extent-it seemed that he didn't have to push him to the gallows, did he?Even if he is executed, those killed by him will not be resurrected... Besides, for a money-hungry person like Jones, wouldn't it be more punitive to let him live miserably after losing everything? Woolen cloth?
Jones keenly caught the hesitation on Huanmeng's face, and hurriedly started the next step of persuasion: "You, you just need to hand in the one of them as I said-yes, only the one for purchasing coal. As long as I don't hand over the information related to the Baisha faction, I can save my life; as long as I don't hand over the materials related to those officials, other officials of the Chao faction will not be implicated, and the entire plan to reduce the price of salt coal can continue to be implemented ... Hehe, what you are saying is, I, I am actually thinking about how to be greedy for money in this position, but in real work, anyone can do it better than me..."

Tsk.Huanmeng frowned in displeasure—this old guy really doesn't do anything.However, according to what he said, only handing in part of the words is conducive to preserving the official system of the Chaopai. In this case...it seems to be considered...

"And, and...it's like this, if you say that you hand over the part of the purchased coal, that coal is equivalent to confiscated; and this part of the confiscated coal, no one will think of pocketing it, and it will be confiscated. Applied in the right place, which is... You have a concrete plan to reduce the price of salt coal? Then you definitely need this money to back it up!" Jones added.

...Well, he was right.In this way, more coal can be used.

According to what he said before... If he is forced to report him, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble; he will only add trouble to his actions if he fights to the death. Although punishing crimes is important, the more important thing is to solve problems for the people ...

Then let this old guy live?There is no need to put it to death, right?
Hmm... ask the others what they think.

Huanmeng turned around, and the eyes of the three of them also fell on her; what no one noticed was that the corners of Jones' mouth slightly raised after seeing this scene...

"What do you all think about this matter? Do you want to compromise?" Huanmeng was a little uncomfortable - after all, it was a compromise with criminals, it felt weird...
