Chapter 241 The dog official must die!
The old woman said, dragging out her daughter-in-law and her neighbors.
"They all saw my son die, so they can testify."
The daughter-in-law had just killed her husband, and her face was full of grief and anger.
She pointed to a county official behind Gan Fanren and said, "It was his subordinate Zhang Mazi who beat my husband to death."
Gan Fanren looked at the man and said, "Zhang Mazi is your subordinate?"
The county official broke out in a cold sweat, but he was a little unconvinced.
Gan Fanren turned against him. If he hadn't seized the military power of the Sun Family Army, how could Gan Fanren have behaved like this?
"It's true that this pockmarked man is my subordinate, but we can't just listen to their one-sided words."
"Besides, she is the man's wife, and her words cannot be trusted."
"Her words are not trustworthy." Gan Fanren looked at the neighbor: "You tell me."
The neighbor's legs kept shaking. He just heard that rice was distributed today so he wanted to try his luck. If he knew he would encounter such a thing, he would not go out.
The officials of Tongmen Pass protect each other. This person who suddenly appeared said that he was guided by the goddess. Maybe he is in the same group with these people.
Otherwise, why are these people following him?
He was trembling, and his legs were like numb poles and kept shaking. He was shaking so hard that he couldn't control it.
Gan Fanren said gently, "Don't be nervous, brother. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't lie, no one will hurt you no matter what you say today."
Gan Fanren looked really kind and was very polite.
The neighbor looked at the expectant mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and gritted his teeth and said,
"It was indeed Zhang Mazi who beat the man to death. He said he was following the order from above not to allow people to collect food."
"Sir, if we were not allowed to collect food, why did you notify us? We came here with joy, but were killed on the way! What did we, the people, do wrong? We have to suffer this kind of torture."
"Oh my son." The old woman cried sadly, her cry was deafening.
She stared at the dog official behind Gan Fanren with her old and scarlet eyes.
"My son is dead, and there is no point in me living with my old bones. I will avenge my son even if I risk my life today."
As she said that, she picked up a stone and rushed towards the dog official.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Gan Fanren.
She spat in anger: "Dog official, you sound nice, but you are just like everyone else!"
Gan Fanren's clothes were stained with the old woman's spit, but he did not have any disgust.
"Old man, what I mean is that you don't have to do anything to kill people."
He glanced at Li Zhi, and Li Zhi drew his sword and killed the dog official in front of everyone.
The blood on the dog official's body splashed all over the ground and on the people. The people did not feel scared, but felt happy instead.
The old woman kept her promise, knelt on the ground, and shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Her daughter-in-law also shouted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The
old woman hugged the stone and cried, her voice was so sad that it made people feel sad.
Her daughter-in-law also cried non-stop.
Many people were also moved. A scholar came out of the crowd, holding a complaint and kneeling in front of Gan Fanren: "Student Yu Wu greets you, sir. I want to sue Chen County Wei behind you. He raped someone's wife and killed my whole family for his own selfish reasons..."
"I am Xu Feng, suing Chen County Wei..."
"I am Luan Zhiyun, suing Chen County Wei..."
Dozens of people knelt in front of Gan Fanren at the same time, looking at Chen County Wei angrily. They
wished that Chen County Wei would be eaten by everyone.
These people surrounded Gan Fanren, and it was obvious that he couldn't leave for a while. Li Zhi got a chair from somewhere.
Gan Fanren sat on the chair and spoke.
"Since Gan has been enlightened by the goddess, I will naturally represent the goddess to judge justice for you. I will give you three days. If you have any grievances or hatreds within three days, you can tell me. As long as there is sufficient evidence, I will make the decision for you."
Gan Fanren tried the case on the spot. As long as there was sufficient evidence, he would kill the person immediately.
In a short time, he won the applause of the people.
Seeing this, those officials who had done all kinds of bad things wanted to leave secretly, but found that the people of Sun's army had already guarded this place.
They had nowhere to escape!
They were tricked.
From the beginning, Gan Fanren had no intention of letting them go. He just wanted to find an opportunity to kill them to win prestige among the people.
It was too late to repent now.
Gan Fanren judged the case on the spot, killed the treacherous officials, and won the hearts of the people.
The people were still worried that Gan Fanren, as a traitor, would harm the people and exploit the people, but now they put aside their grudges and accepted Gan Fanren's existence.
With Gan Fanren's killing of corrupt officials in the past, many people came with doubts when Gan Fanren distributed food and cloth.
"Will this man really give us food and cloth?"
"He looks kind, and he has killed many corrupt officials. I think he is a good person."
"Humph, what's good about that? All the people in this world are evil. Killing corrupt officials is just his way of excluding dissidents!"
"Brother Yang is right. These methods are just to deceive those ignorant people. I don't think this man is a good person! He will not give us food so easily."
An old man who had been bullied by corrupt officials for many years cursed.
"Whether it was a means to exclude dissidents or not, he did redress my injustice and helped me regain my property that had been seized for more than ten years. I sincerely recognize him as your majesty."
"What are you arguing about? The entire Tongmen Pass is now surrounded by the army. Not even a fly can fly out. What's the point of us believing or not?"
"Life and death are just a matter of that person's words!"
"If you don't believe it, go home and don't talk nonsense and implicate us."
A skinny young man, who was only skin and bones, said this in a fierce voice, and sat down on the ground tiredly, gasping for breath.
He had been hungry for too long, and he couldn't stand it after just standing for such a while.
At this time, a group of soldiers came over with things in their hands.
Seeing these soldiers, the people stood up silently, looking at these soldiers in horror.
Having been oppressed by Sun Xing for a long time, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when they saw these soldiers.
"Look, I told you, that adult didn't really want to give us food, so he sent the Sun Family Army?"
"Everyone run quickly, I'm afraid the Sun Family Army is here to kill us."
Seeing that everyone was about to run, Tang Jue shouted loudly.
"Don't panic, everyone. We are not the Sun Family Army, we are the Gan Family Army. Look, our flags have all changed."
Gan Tian saw the flag and covered her face with her hands in shame.
[How embarrassing! That was clearly a pattern I made with fruits the night before yesterday. How did it become a military flag?]
