Chapter 2907 It's a matter of course
Bai Shan asked, "What kind of evil man is your father?"
Although Bai Shan didn't quite agree with Jia Dalang's point of view, it didn't stop him from continuing to talk along with him.
It is obviously impossible to interrogate him and make him confess bit by bit what he has done.
In that case, let them have a chat.
What kind of evil man is Jia Dalang’s father?
Basically the same as he is now.
Jia Dalang stopped kneeling and sat down on the ground, then put his legs together and sat cross-legged.
Seeing how presumptuous he was, the yamen runners became furious and were about to step forward to stop him. Bai Shan raised his hand to stop them and signaled Jia Dalang to continue.
"As far back as I can remember, my father has been the village's scoundrel. Everyone fears him, but they also look down on him, my mother, and me. They say I'm the son of a rat and will only know how to dig holes in the future."
"He was very lazy. He basically didn't do any housework, leaving it all to my grandparents and my mother. Later, my grandparents were so angry with him that they died. Then it was only my mother and us who did the housework." Jia Dalang sneered, "But he also liked to drink and beat his wife. One autumn harvest, he got drunk and beat my mother so badly that she couldn't get out of bed. The crops in the fields were left to rot in the fields without anyone to harvest them."
"The villagers were afraid of him, but the county officials who came to collect taxes were not afraid of him. Not only did they search my house, they also locked him up for three months. When he came back, he didn't dare to stop working in the fields."
"But our life isn't much better. He beats you when he's tired from working in the fields, when he's hot, when he's cold, when he's in a bad mood, and even when he's in a good mood and finds you annoying."
Bai Shan: ...
Everyone: ...
Seeing his calm expression, though somewhat speechless, showing neither sympathy nor indignation, Jia Dalang grinned, his mood unusually cheerful, and continued, "At that time, my mother and I were beaten while working in the fields. Do you know how cruel he was?"
"One time, my mother couldn't bear the beating anymore and dragged my brothers and me back to her parents' home. But he caught up with us halfway and pushed us into the river. At that moment, I felt like I was going to die. I was going to die."
His eyes were wide open, almost popping out, and he stared at Bai Shan closely and said, "Everyone in this world is going to die, just like chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. They all have to die, but how they die is something only powerful people can choose."
Bai Shan asked, "Do you think your father is powerful?"
"Of course, he can decide the life and death of my mother, my brothers and sisters," Jia Dalang stared at Bai Shan and said softly, "But I'm better than him. I was able to beat him when I was fourteen. He can only use his fists and feet, but I can use a knife...hahahaha..."
"Using force to force someone is an extremely lowly method. You can't even make someone submit, otherwise, how could you have killed someone?"
Jia Dalang said nonchalantly, "They are not as capable as me, so they die. In the end, they will die anyway, right?"
"There's a big difference between dying of old age and being killed."
"Aren't they all death? What's the difference?"
Bai Shan didn't say anything else. This person had no respect for life, not only for other people's lives but also for his own life.
He ignored the question and asked, "Since you don't care about life or death, why do you want to seek a career in the county government?"
“If I have the opportunity to live a better life, why shouldn’t I work hard for it?”
"So looting Xiaoliu Village was also for the purpose of living a better life?"
"good!"
Bai Shan frowned. "That's not much. I see you have enough to eat and drink. Why did you go out of your way to plunder?"
"I have enough to eat and drink, but I do need money," Jia Dalang said matter-of-factly. "Their village has good land and plenty of things. What's wrong with me taking a little?"
Bai Shan asked jumpily: "Why did you use a knife to attack people?"
Jia Dalang tutted, immediately assuming he was asking about Liu Erzhu's family. He said nonchalantly, "I thought his daughter was pretty good, and wanted to take her away to see if she could give me a son. If not, I could sell her and make a fortune. Who knew they were so tactless? They're going to die sooner or later anyway, so I just chopped her off."
Bai Shan: "Your technique is quite skilled. I'm curious how many people you've killed to practice it."
"Not many people," Jia Dalang said, "only three or four, right? Didn't you ask them just now?"
"I'm afraid there are omissions in what they said," Bai Shan leaned forward, stared at him and asked, "If Liu Erzhu and his son were killed because they obstructed you, then what about the others?"
Jia Dalang also leaned forward, looked up at Bai Shan and asked, "Sir, do you know who else I killed?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "Your father is so resentful and afraid of you, is it because of your knife? He wasn't there when you killed his friend, was he?"
Jia Dalang felt bored, turned around and glanced at the people kneeling outside, and said expressionlessly: "Not many people know about this. I thought they didn't know either, but I didn't expect they actually knew."
County Magistrate Fang and others who were standing by and listening were silent. Those five people didn't confess to the matter at all, okay?
It's just that the adults just asked the five people if anyone around Jia Dalang and his parents was missing or died unexpectedly...
"That's right," Jia Dalang said, "I killed him right in front of him. That old man wasn't a good man either, just as evil as my father. Do you think he's just being unreasonable? I'm so powerful, I could even raise a knife and chop my father down, so how could he have the nerve to lecture me?"
"And you still say I'm unfilial," Jia Dalang said with a sardonic laugh, "If he were filial, would he have angered his own parents to death like my father did?"
He said, "If I kill my father, my mother will stop me, so I can't kill him. Then I'll kill this old man. It will also let my father see if I really kill people."
"It was just my first time chopping people and I had no experience, so blood splattered everywhere."
Bai Shan asked casually, "How did you become proficient in it?"
"I chopped up a pig. After I chopped up a man, I knew where to cut to make the most blood without splattering everywhere."
So, including Goudan who died from injuries, he has a total of four lives on his hands.
Bai Shan was very curious, "Now that you've become so powerful, have you ever thought about asking the clan or the village chief to seek justice for you and your mother?"
Jia Dalang was curious, "What's justice?"
"Your father abused and humiliated you, and you are waiting for justice."
"Isn't it natural for a father to beat his son and a husband to beat his wife?"
Bai Shan: "...If it goes against ethics, how can it be considered natural?"
Jia Dalang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face. "Isn't this just natural? How can this not be just natural? A father beating his son, a husband beating his wife, it's all just natural!"
He shouted loudly: "Everyone says so, this is the natural law!!"
Bai Shan looked at him silently without saying a word.
