Peerless ruthless man, cut down the world

Chapter 10
Gu Zhan was also shocked by the reaction of those common people,
Although he knows that the government has a bad reputation and that many people are in awe of the Jinyiwei, but he thinks that the Jinyiwei is responsible for maintaining law and order on weekdays and has more dealings with these ordinary civilians, so it should be relatively better.
But he didn't expect these ordinary civilians to be so afraid of Jin Yiwei.
They just showed up and did nothing to cause such a panic.

He couldn't help being suspicious,
Such Jinyiwei can really stabilize the law and order?
However, he had already arrived at the scene, and he didn't have so much time to think about this issue, so he led him directly into the yard.

in an instant,
All the civilians dispersed involuntarily. If it wasn't for the Jinyiwei blocking the door, Gu Zhan doubted that these people would just disperse immediately.

"Who is the owner of this house?" Gu Zhan asked.

Although there were many people in the yard, it was completely silent.

Many people quietly set their eyes on an old man with dark skin and wrinkled face.

The old man was tense all over, looking at Gu Zhan with fear in his eyes, he wanted to stand up but his legs and feet were numb and unable to move.

at this time,

A pale woman in filial piety came over hesitantly, then knelt down in front of Gu Zhan with a "plop", and said in a crying voice: "My lord, please let my father-in-law go, he is old I can't stand the torture. The man in my family is dead, and the two uncles are also dead. We dare not let go of the house anymore. After we finish the funeral, we will move. What do you want to do with this house? Yes, my lord, please be kind, my lord..."

Gu Zhan was stunned, he didn't understand what was going on.

The old man also stood up at this time, walked over tremblingly, knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, we know we were wrong, my family is only a single seedling now, please give me a way out!"

As the old man spoke, he pulled a five or six-year-old boy to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

Gu Zhan looked puzzled, hurriedly helped the old man, and said: "Did you misunderstand, I received a report, I heard that someone in your family was poisoned and died, and I came here to investigate the situation!"

The old man's wrinkled face was full of fear and confusion, and he said, "You...what do you want to investigate?"

"The truth about death." Gu Zhan said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he had come to his senses, he hurriedly pointed to the mourning hall, and said, "My lord, my family is out of money, really out of money, you see, those coffins on the face were bought with money from the villagers. There is no money to offer!"

Gu Zhan frowned and said: "Old man, you really misunderstood me. I didn't come here to ask for money. I really just came to investigate the situation. I received a report that the deceased in your family died of poisoning, not a normal death."

The woman kneeling on the ground suddenly said in despair: "My lord, our family members are going to die. Are you still willing to let us go?"

Gu Zhan took a deep breath and said, "I said that I came to investigate the situation, why don't you believe me?"

The woman took a deep breath, the expression on her face became decisive, and she said in a deep voice: "Isn't it just a trick to force us? If you want to kill us, just say it directly. You all know you were poisoned and killed, why are you pretending to investigate?"

Gu Zhan frowned, and said: "So, do you know the specific situation?"

The woman in filial piety sneered and said, "Who doesn't know? There are dozens of families and hundreds of people in Niping Lane. Who doesn't know that they just want to occupy our house?"

Gu Zhan frowned tightly,

I glanced at the civilians in the courtyard and looked at their expressions, it seemed that they all knew the inside story of this matter.

"Since you know the murderer, then take the initiative to report to the police." Gu Zhan said flatly.

"Report to officials?" said the woman in filial piety: "Is it useful to report to officials? Haven't we reported to officials? Instead of arresting those villains from the Tianshui Gang, your Jin Yiwei arrested those who reported to officials. Who dares to report to officials? My lord, just tell me what you want to do, our family is like this now, there are only three lives left, you can forget it!"

Gu Zhan frowned tightly.

At this moment, Fade Chen came over suddenly and said, "My lord, listen to what they mean. This matter involves the Tianshui Gang. Let's go first and make a long-term plan after we go back."

Gu Zhan was slightly surprised. He had heard of the Tianshui Gang before, and knew that it was a big Jianghu gang. However, what surprised him was Chen Fei's reaction. retreat.

Although he has always known in his heart that the current government is corrupt, but now, Gu Zhan finally understands how corrupt the government is.
When even violent government institutions like Jinyiwei are afraid of Jianghu gangs, it is needless to say how corrupt it is.

However, Gu Zhan can't figure out the situation now,

His predecessor has always been studying under the protection of his father. Although it is not true that he does not hear things outside the window, he does not know much about the outside world. Qu, I don’t know much about it, and the time is short, and I haven’t been exposed to anything.
In this regard, he chose to listen to Fade Chen's suggestion and go back to find out the situation first.

However, just as he was about to greet people to leave, he saw a group of quack men in uniforms appearing outside the small courtyard. There were almost 20 of them, and each of them held a shining steel knife in their hands, swaggering as if Jin Yiwei did not exist. into the yard.

The leader was a fierce and strong man with a scar on his face. He walked up to the old man and said viciously, "Old man Jin, although your son is dead, you have to pay back the 500 taels of silver he owes us!"

The old man Jin lost his voice: "Our family doesn't owe you any money, and it's 500 taels, there is no such thing..."

"Snapped"

The brawny man slapped old man Jin on the face directly, sent him flying to the ground, and cursed: "Old man, I'm giving you a face. If I say you owe it, you owe it!"

The filial woman let out a mournful cry, and hurried to help old man Jin.

And the civilians around were all trembling and afraid to speak.

while talking,

The strong man rubbed his chin and looked around, and said, "Since you have no money to pay back, then your house..."

While talking, the strong man looked at the pretty filial woman and said, "Let's use your broken house and your daughter-in-law to pay off the debt!"

As he said that, the strong man grabbed the hand of the filial woman and was about to drag her away.

The woman in filial piety was full of despair, and said sadly: "You...do you still have the law?"

"Wang Fa?"

The brawny man sneered, then suddenly looked at Gu Zhan and his party not far away, and said with a strange smile, "Oh, speaking of Wang Fa, I forgot that the servants of Jinyiwei are still here, and the servants are still here. , why don't you come and explain to this girl what king's law is?"

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Are you... teaching me how to do things?"
