"ha."
Amid the commotion, Gu Dan laughed sincerely.
With that laugh, the raging wave of condemnation and pleading subsided for a moment.
"It's difficult for you, I know."
Gu Dan looked over one by one, as if he wanted to remember all the people in front of him.
"Zhao Kensan!"
Suddenly, Gu Dan read a name.
The person in the crowd whose name was called by him suddenly shook his body and said subconsciously: "I'm here."
He was a man with dark skin and fine wrinkles and marks on his face. He looked honest and honest, and his hands also left many traces of cracking and healing like ravines, which made people's hearts tremble.
Such a person, at a glance, is a farmer with his face turned to the loess and his back to the sky, spending most of his life digging in the soil for food.
"Do you still remember how you ended up in jail?" Gu Dan asked.
Zhao Kensan had a sullen face and opened his mouth to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say even a single word.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was the first to respond to the fat man, but when Gu Dan pointed him out, everyone around him seemed to be far away from him.
"Can not remember?"
Gu Dan walked up to Zhao Kensan. He was tall, while Zhao Kensan was stooped and short. They stood face to face like this, as if they were looking down from a high place.
"You and a man from the Guo family in your village went to collect firewood in the mountains and accidentally discovered a tomb. You two bravely walked in and found a lot of burial objects among them, so you decided to secretly take them home and sell them to a pawn shop to share the loot.
But when it was time to divide the spoils, you turned evil and killed the men of the Guo family directly. She was even more worried that the Guo family would expose this matter, so she just refused to do anything and pretended to be a member of the Guo family returning home at night, and then killed the Guo family!
If the old mother of the Guo family hadn't taken her child to visit relatives that day, I'm afraid she would have suffered at your hands! However, Qian, who did not find the Guo family's mother, knew that the matter was exposed, so she moved away with her family overnight. In the end, she was unable to escape the government inspection and was eventually imprisoned. She should have been interrogated and executed. Am I wrong? ! "
Gu Dan gently patted Zhao Kensan's shoulder with his palm, his voice was not high-pitched, and even his words seemed quite soft.
However, that palm seemed to be extremely heavy, and Zhao Kensan fell to his knees on the ground with a pop.
Gu Dan knelt down and was level with him: "You must not know what happened next, right?"
The pair of dark eyes stared unblinkingly at the dark face filled with ravines and wrinkles and filled with hardship.
There were countless traces of hard work and blood and sweat on this face, and the brown eyes were trembling uneasily, not daring to look directly at him.
Gu Dan's voice was clearly gentle, but it made Zhao Kensan want to plug his ears.
"Of course you don't know that at that time, you were taking your money and family to enjoy your happiness in other places."
Gu Dan reached out and pinched Zhao Kensan's face, making him look at him, "Then I'll tell you!"
"After the old mother of the Guo family came home with her children, she found Mrs. Guo who was killed by you. The three-year-old child asked her why her mother was lying on the ground. Isn't she cold?"
"ha......"
Gu Dan laughed again, and slapped Zhao Kensan's face with his palm gently, "Later, the Guo family's mother reported to the police, but what about the child? She can no longer work! The younger members of the family also died. Guess where the three-year-old child ended up?"
Zhao Kensan's lips moved, and his eyes that were forced to look directly at Gu Dan shone with fear. He wanted to struggle, but how much strength did he have?
The palm holding his cheek was like an iron pincer, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. He could only close his eyes and stop looking.
"In order to prevent the child from starving to death, the Guo family's mother sold her to a brothel - a three-year-old child was sold to a brothel. Ha, I don't believe it when I say it. I even went to inquire about it, and it turned out to be true. ! Tell me, is this ridiculous?"
Gu Dan's voice finally became louder, and the palm holding Zhao Kensan's cheek suddenly tightened!
"Well!"
Zhao Kensan, who hadn't said a word since his name was called out, finally couldn't help but groan in pain.
“Oh—it turns out you can talk!”
Gu Dan seemed to suddenly realize, "But who is going to speak for that three-year-old girl? Who is going to speak for the old mother of the Guo family who sold the little girl to a brothel and then committed suicide?"
He finally stood up and kicked Zhao Kensan to the ground, and his voice became cold.
"You people - you people! It's hard to say whether some things can be called human beings. At most, they can only be regarded as beasts in human skin. Things like this should be executed."
Gu Dan pointed at Zhao Kensan who was lying limply on the ground with a panicked and frightened expression, "It's just that the emperor's kindness...generalized amnesty to the world, and actually allowed the beast to save his life.
I didn't want to cure him. Wouldn't it be better to let him get sick in prison and wait to die slowly?
But then I thought about it. Although it is uncomfortable to have multiple illnesses, it is nothing more than death. At the same time, it can be solved in one fell swoop. Wouldn’t it be an advantage for him?
I think the inner fear and suffering may be more unacceptable than the physical torture.
Cure his injuries, let him face the end of death with a sound body, let him regret his past crimes countless times in prison, let him have to face death even though he can be self-reliant - this way, right? Make a person feel more uncomfortable? "
His voice became louder and more intense, and by the end, it was almost a shout.
The group of people who had gathered around him couldn't help but take a few steps back after catching Gu Dan's gaze, not daring to look directly into Gu Dan's eyes.
Some of them didn't know whether they were the beasts in human skin that Gu Dan mentioned.
They had always felt that Gu Dan was willing to treat people like Zhao Kensan who would soon go to the execution ground, which only meant that he was a bad person.
A bad good person is naturally the best to bully.
The jailer in the prison never dared to disturb him. He even had to keep his breath low even when he spoke, so as to avoid making the other party uncomfortable, and then he would start punching and kicking him without any reason at all.
But a bad guy has no such worries - he is a good guy anyway!
So what if I go a little too far?
At most, it's just a few words of complaint, but it won't be a loss of meat!
Even if you don’t get any tangible benefits, it’s still a sure profit!
And when the good guy they think finally shows his fangs, many people can't help but start to regret it.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control and the loose sand was about to collapse, the fat man who was the first to plead quickly said: "Master Gu, there are no murder cases among many of us! People like Zhao Kensan are the same type of people as Ding Ji. It has nothing to do with us!”
The crowd that was slowly retreating paused for a moment.
Yes, Zhao Kensan deserved it, but they didn't kill anyone, so how can they generalize?
"Master Gu, you need to be careful! We ended up in jail because of a trivial matter. We are not the same type of people as Zhao Kensan and others!"
