Chapter 20 The Good Can Be Deceived
"Huh."
In the hustle and bustle, Gu Dan laughed sincerely.
With that laughter, the surging tide of condemnation and pleading subsided for a moment.
"It's hard for you, I know."
Gu Dan looked over one by one, as if he wanted to keep all the people in front of him in mind.
"Zhao Kensan!"
Suddenly, Gu Dan pronounced a name.
The person in the crowd whose name he named shook suddenly, and subconsciously said, "I'm here." ”
It was a dark-skinned man with fine wrinkles and marks on his face, who looked honest, and his hands had left many traces of cracking and healing like ravines, which made people tremble.
Such a person can tell at a glance that he is a farmer who faces the loess with his back to the sky and has spent most of his life digging in the soil.
"Do you remember how you ended up in prison?" Gu Dan asked.
Zhao Kensan stiffened his face and opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say half a word.
Cold sweat emerged from his forehead, he was the first to be with the fat man, but when he was really pointed out, it seemed that everyone around him was far away, far, far away.
"Don't remember?"
Gu Dan walked in front of Zhao Kensan, he was tall, while Zhao Kensan was stiff and short, standing face to face like this, as if looking down on him.
"You and the Guo family from the same village went to the mountains to collect firewood and accidentally found a tomb. The two of you bravely went in and found a lot of funeral goods, so you decided to secretly take them home and sell them to the pawnshop to share the spoils.
But when you wanted to share the spoils, you were so evil that you killed the Guo family directly. is even more worried that the Guo family will poke this matter out, so they simply don't do anything, and take advantage of the night to pretend that the Guo family man will return home, and kill the Guo family again!
If it weren't for the Guo family's mother who took the child to her relatives that day, I am afraid that she would also suffer from your poisonous hands! And Ling, who didn't find the old mother of the Guo family, knew that the matter was exposed, and moved away overnight with his family, but in the end he couldn't escape the inspection of the government, and was finally imprisoned. ”
Gu Dan's palm gently patted Zhao Kensan's shoulder, his voice was not high, and even his words seemed quite soft.
However, that palm seemed to be weighing a thousand pounds, and Zhao Kensan actually fell to his knees on the ground with a pop.
Gu Dan squatted down and was level with him: "You must not know what happened afterward, right?" ”
Those dark eyes stared unblinkingly at the ravine, wrinkled, dark and hard cheeks in front of them.
The face had left countless traces of hardship and blood and sweat, and the brown eyes were trembling uneasily, not daring to look at him directly.
Gu Dan's voice was clearly gentle, but it made Zhao Kensan want to block his ears.
"Of course you don't know, at that time, you were taking your money and family and preparing to go to other places to enjoy happiness."
Gu Dan reached out and pinched Zhao Kensan's face and made him look at him, "Then I'll tell you!" ”
"After the old mother of the Guo family came home with her child, she found the Guo family who was killed by you. The three-year-old asked her why her mother was lying on the ground, wasn't it cold? ”
"Ha ......"
Gu Dan laughed again, and his palm slapped Zhao Kensan's face lightly or heavily, "Later, the old mother of the Guo family reported to the official, but what about the child?" She can't do her job anymore! The younger ones in the family are also dead. Guess where that three-year-old ended up? ”
Zhao Kensan's lips twitched, and the eyes that were forced to look directly at Gu Dan flashed with horror, he wanted to struggle, but how much strength could he have?
The palm pinching his cheek was like an iron tong, so he couldn't avoid it if he wanted to, so he could only close his eyes and stop looking.
In order to prevent the child from starving to death, the old mother of the Guo family sold her to the Qinglou - a three-year-old child who was sold to the Qinglou. Ha, I don't believe it, I went to inquire about it, and it turned out to be true! Isn't that ridiculous, you say? ”
Gu Dan's voice finally rose high, and the palm that was pinching Zhao Kensan's cheek was also violently forced!
"Hmm!"
Since his name was called, Zhao Kensan, who didn't say a word, finally couldn't help but snort bitterly.
"Oh, so 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 the Qinglou and then committed suicide? ”
He finally stood up and kicked Zhao Kensan to the ground, and his voice became cold.
"You people—you people! Some things are hard to say whether they can be called human or not, and at most they can only be regarded as beasts in human skin. Goods like this should have been put to death. ”
Gu Dan pointed to Zhao Kensan, who was paralyzed on the ground, looking panicked and frightened, "It's just that the emperor is merciful...... The amnesty of the world actually allowed the beast to pick up a life.
I didn't want to heal him, and let him get sick in prison, and wait for him to die, wouldn't it be better?
But then I thought about it, although the disease is uncomfortable, it is nothing more than death, and by the way, it can be a hundred, isn't it cheaper for him?
I think that the inner fear and torment may be more unacceptable than the physical torture.
Heal his injuries, let him usher in 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 more when he can be self-reliant—does this make a person more uncomfortable? ”
His voice grew louder and more intense, and by the end of the conversation, it was almost like a shout.
And the group of people who had originally gathered together, after looking at Gu Dan's gaze, couldn't help but take a few steps back, not daring to look directly into Gu Dan's eyes at all.
Some of them didn't know if they were the beasts in human skin.
They have always felt that Gu Dan is willing to heal even a person like Zhao Kensan who will go to the execution ground soon, which can only show that he is a bad person.
Rotten good people are naturally the best to bully.
The jailer in the prison did not dare to disturb him, and he even had to speak in a low voice, and the other party in the province did not like it for a while, and when he came up, there was a burst of punches and kicks, and there was no reason at all.
But a bad guy doesn't have such concerns—he's a good guy anyway!
Even if you go a little too far, what can you do?
At most, it's just a few words of complaining, and there will be no less meat!
Even if you don't get tangible benefits, it's a sure win!
And when what they think is a good guy finally shows a little fang, many people can't help but start to regret it.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control and this plate of loose sand was about to collapse, the fat man who was the first to plead hurriedly said: "Lord Gu, many of us have no homicides!" Goods like Zhao Kensan are the same kind of people as Ding Ji, and they have nothing to do with us! ”
The crowd that had been slowly retreating paused slightly.
That's right, Zhao Kensan deserves it, but they didn't kill anyone, how can they generalize?
"Master Gu, you want to be clear! We ended up in prison because of a little thing, and they are not the same kind of people as Zhao Kensan! ”
