Chapter 20: Good People Can Be Deceived

"ha."

Amid the noise, Gu Dan laughed sincerely.

Along with that laugh, the surging waves of condemnation and pleading subsided for a moment.

"I know it's difficult for you."

Gu Dan looked at everyone one by one, as if he wanted to remember all of them in his heart.

"Zhao Kensan!"

Suddenly, Gu Dan read out a name.

The person whose name he called in the crowd was shocked and said subconsciously: "I'm here."

He was a man with dark skin, fine wrinkles and scars on his face. He looked honest, and his hands had many marks like ravines that were cracked and healed, which made people tremble with fear at the sight of them.

One can tell at first glance that such a person is a farmer who works hard in the fields, digging for food in the soil for most of his life.

"Do you remember how you ended up in prison?" Gu Dan asked.

Zhao Kensan's face was tense and he opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, no words came out.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was the first one to respond to the fat man. But when Gu Dan pointed it out, it seemed as if everyone around him was very far away from him, very far away.

"Don't remember?"

Gu Dan walked in front of Zhao Kensan. He was tall, while Zhao Kensan was hunched and short. Standing face to face like this, it was as if he was looking down on them from a high vantage point.

"You and a fellow villager from the Guo family went to the mountains to collect firewood and accidentally discovered a tomb. The two of you bravely walked in and found a lot of burial objects, so you decided to secretly take them home and sell them to a pawnshop to share the loot.

But when it came time to divide the spoils, you turned so bold that you killed the Guo family man. You were even more worried that the Guo family would tell others about this, so you decided to kill Guo family man at night while pretending that the Guo family man had returned home! If the Guo family mother had not taken her children to visit relatives that day, she would have also suffered at your hands! You knew that the matter had been exposed when you did not find the Guo family mother, so you moved away with your family overnight, but you still could not escape the government inspection and were eventually imprisoned. You should have been executed. Am I wrong? ! "

Gu Dan patted Zhao Kensan's shoulder lightly. His voice was not loud and even his words seemed quite soft.

However, that palm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Zhao Kensan fell to his knees with a thud.

Gu Dan squatted down to his level with him: "You don't know what happened next?"

The pair of dark eyes stared unblinkingly at the dark face in front of him, which was full of wrinkles and filled with hardship.

This face bore traces of countless hardships, blood and sweat, while the brown eyes were trembling uneasily, not daring to look him in the face.

Gu Dan's voice was clearly gentle, but it made Zhao Kensan want to cover his ears.

"Of course you didn't know that at that time, you were taking your money and family with you, preparing to go to another place to enjoy life."

Gu Dan reached out and pinched Zhao Kensan's face, making him look at him, "Then I'll tell you!"

"When the mother of the Guo family returned home with her child, she found Guo who had been killed by you. The three-year-old child asked her, 'Why is your mother lying on the ground? Isn't it cold?'"

"ha"

Gu Dan laughed again, and his palm slapped Zhao Kensan's face gently, "Later, Guo's mother reported the case to the authorities, but what about the child? She couldn't work anymore! The young people in the family also died. Guess where the three-year-old child ended up?"

Zhao Kensan's lips were buzzing, and his eyes, which were forced to look directly at Gu Dan, were filled with fear. He wanted to struggle, but how much strength could he have?

The hand pinching his cheek was like an iron clamp, making it impossible for him to avoid it. He could only close his eyes and stop looking.

"In order to prevent the child from starving to death, Guo's mother sold her to a brothel - a three-year-old child, sold to a brothel. Ha, I didn't believe it when I heard it, and I even went to find out about it, and it turned out to be true! Tell me, is this ridiculous or not?"

Gu Dan's voice finally rose, and the hand that was pinching Zhao Kensan's cheek suddenly exerted force! "Hmm!"

Zhao Kensan, who had not said a word since his name was called, finally couldn't help but groan in pain.

"Oh - so you can talk!"

Gu Dan seemed to have suddenly realized something. "But who will speak for that three-year-old girl? Who will 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, his voice becoming cold.

"You guys - you guys! Some of them can't even be called human beings. At most, they are just beasts in human skin. People like this should be put to death."

Gu Dan pointed at Zhao Kensan, who was lying limp on the ground with a look of panic and fear, and said, "However, the emperor was merciful and granted amnesty to the whole nation, and he actually saved the life of this beast.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I didn't want to treat him. Wouldn't it be better to let him suffer from illness in prison and wait for death?

But then I changed my mind and thought, although the disease is uncomfortable, it is nothing more than death, and it can also put an end to everything. Isn't it a bargain for him? I think that the fear and torment in my heart may be more unacceptable than the slight torture of my body.

Heal his injuries, let him face death with a healthy body, let him regret his past crimes countless times in prison, let him face death even though he can be self-reliant - wouldn't that make a person feel more uncomfortable?"

His voice became more and more high-pitched and intense, and by the end it was almost like a shout.

The group of people who had gathered together couldn't help but take a few steps back after catching Gu Dan's gaze, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

Some of them did not know whether they were the beasts in human skin that Gu Dan mentioned.

They always felt that since Gu Danlian was willing to treat someone like Zhao Kensan who was about to be executed, it only meant that he was a goody-goody.

People who are nice guys are naturally the easiest to bully.

The jailers in the prison would never dare to disturb them, and even had to speak humbly, for fear that the other party would be displeased and start punching and kicking them without any reason.

But a nice guy doesn't have such concerns - he is a nice guy after all! So what if he goes a little too far?

At most, you will just get a few complaints from others, but you won't lose a piece of meat! Even if you don't get any tangible benefits, it's still a sure win!

But when the good person they thought was finally showing a hint of 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 hurriedly said: "Master Gu, many of us have not been involved in any murder case! People like Zhao Kensan are the same type as Ding Ji and have nothing to do with us!"

The crowd that was originally retreating slowly paused slightly.

Yes, Zhao Kensan deserved it, but they didn't kill anyone, so how can we generalize? "Master Gu, you have to understand! We were put in jail for a small matter, and we are not the same kind of people as Zhao Kensan and the others!"
