319 Angry people are not easy to provoke
Gu An glanced at Jiang Kai and snorted coldly in his heart, since you are looking for death, let's start with you!
Gu An poured the wine in his hand into his stomach, looked at Jiang Kai and suddenly laughed, pointed at Jiang Kai and said, "Mr. Jiang is so interested. He actually follows me. Tell me, why do you follow me? Just to accuse me in front of me?"
When everyone saw Gu An not only refused to admit his mistake but laughed, they immediately became angry and shrank inward around Gu An's circle, and also surrounded Jiang Kai and the four guards who were following him.
Jiang Kai looked at Gu An, his face full of injuries and disappointment, and even saw tears rolling around his eyes, and he couldn't fall.
Jiang Kai's disgust made Gu An instantly remembered someone. The old Qu of Dingyuan Hou Mansion chose him for his family. What's the girl's name? Oh, by the way, what's the name of Hongdou. She also looked at him like this, as if she was so aggrieved.
Gu An trembled and his body trembled. His eyes looked at Jiang Kai incorrectly, as if he was looking at something dirty, and he was so disgusted.
Damn it! It's not so unlucky, right? I'm pretty, but it's not as good as both men and women, right? What kind of eyes are he? Resentment, pitiful, disappointed, and a little unwilling to accept it. He didn't care much about him, right? No wonder he wanted to follow him, he wouldn't really fall in love with him, right?
Gu An opened his mind again and imagined that he would be entangled with courtship by Jiang Kai, but suddenly shivered again. Jiang Kai's eyes were not good anymore. While he was telling him that he would not treat the soldiers as humans, he moved the chair back without any trace when he was killing soldiers at will.
Jiang Kai was talking about it, and he had already thought about it. He would embarrass Gu An in public, make Gu An lose all his face, and let everyone in Changzhou City know that he killed more than a thousand soldiers and deposed more than 600. So many people are heroes who defend the coastal people of the Great Wei Dynasty. He did this to harm loyal and kindness and should be punished.
This will curb his actions in Changzhou, so that the people of Changzhou do not welcome him and oppose him staying in Changzhou. As long as he leaves Changzhou, he can slowly erase the evidence related to Hu Youliang, and he can escape the disaster until he comes back or sends new people to the court to verify.
What he is most worried about now is whether Gu An has evidence of collusion with Hu Youliang. If so, he must get the evidence and destroy it. If not... some things are not what Gu An has to say.
As long as he refuses to admit this situation and increases public opinion, he will not believe it. With his foundation in Changzhou for many years, he still can't deal with Gu An who has just come to Changzhou.
But he forgot one thing. Gu An has been in Changzhou, even longer than he has been here. He has been here for eight years, and has done a lot of good deeds for the people of Changzhou in the past eight years. When he left that year, he was almost sending the umbrella of the people of Wanmin.
He arrived in Changzhou after Gu An left. In Changzhou, he had basically done nothing practical for the people of Changzhou in recent years, or did a very pleasant thing. Here he was the noble master in the yamen and had nothing to do with them. He just heard that Gu An killed more than a thousand soldiers who protected the people and felt angry. There was nothing but these.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence, as long as Gu An says a few words, these people will definitely look to Gu An and not to him.
Jiang Kai spitted fishy splashes, telling Gu An's evil deeds with a heartache, and it seemed like Gu An was unforgivable. But as he spoke, he saw that Gu An looked at him with a strange look, and he moved the chair backwards.
Jiang Kai paused and couldn't continue.
What does it mean? The eyes are full of disgust and disgust. What is sympathy? The spray flew over his face? Shouldn't he sympathize with himself if that's the case? How do he sympathize with him? What's the point of sympathizing with him?
Jiang Kai stopped talking and frowned and wondered.
Seeing that he finished speaking, Gu An immediately took a breath, obviously relieved.
Gu An raised his head and looked at Jiang Kai, with a very unwilling voice, "Are you finished?"
Jiang Kai was stunned again.
What tone does this? It seems like he is a virus. He doesn't want to talk to him, so he leans back.
Before Jiang Kai answered, Gu An continued, "When I left the capital, the emperor had already given me the power of life and death over all the officials in Changzhou, from first-rank to non-rank soldiers. As long as I catch evidence or disobey the manager, I believe that with General Jiang's ability, it is not difficult to get this news, right?"
Jiang Kai choked and had nothing to say.
That's right, he got the news. The emperor's trust in Gu An is jealous. Who doesn't want this kind of power? As long as Gu An thinks, he can completely build Changzhou into a place that belongs to him alone. This place will be under the jurisdiction of Gu An and no one can get in.
Not to mention him, there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Gu An. He was attracted by this and felt that even if he was defeated, Gu An would not fall well. Some people in the court would rescue him and would never let him die, not to mention that his backstage was not simple.
Gu An glanced at Jiang Kai and saw that he had been staring at him, as if he was looking at another person through him. This made Gu An even more disgusted. He felt that he was being targeted, but he still had thoughts about him in great disgusting manner.
Gu An glanced around with a dark face and continued, "My fellow villagers, I, Gu An, was an official in Changzhou for eight years. When I left Changzhou ten years ago, as long as the elderly who lived in Changzhou for more than ten years, I should have heard of Gu An. What kind of person is Gu An? I, Gu An, killed pirates and blocked Japanese pirates in Changzhou, and all the evidences are available. During the eight years in Changzhou, I asked myself that I had never done anything to be sorry to everyone. Not to say that I love the people as my son, but I also have my own conscience, so how could I kill my own people?
In the ten years after Gu An left, everyone thought about how many villages were destroyed overnight? How many people in the village were slaughtered? How many people in the whole village were left without leaving any chickens and dogs? Do you know who did it?"
The people around him were looking at Gu An indignation just now, and when they heard Gu An's words, they calmed down and lowered their heads to start thinking.
General Gu is right! He has been here for eight years. How many Japanese pirates and pirates have he killed in these eight years? He went out to sea to kill pirates more than a hundred times. Not to mention that he always returned with a great victory, at least not many soldiers who went out to sea with him died.
Also, in those eight years, he saved countless lives. Pirates and Japanese pirates went ashore to burn, kill and loot, which time did General Gu lead people to rescue him?
And what he said about pirates slaughtering the village was indeed born in ten years. Is there anything else here?
Seeing that things were not good, Jiang Kai quickly said, "General Gu, please don't talk about him. What we are talking about is that you killed those soldiers, those..."
Before Jiang Kai could finish his words, Gu An interrogated: "Those are soldiers from the Great Wei Dynasty, heroes who protect the coastal people, but that was the past, General Jiang, would you not know what those soldiers did? Haha, do you dare to tell the villagers here what they did? "
Jiang Kai's face did not change his expression, and he opened his mouth and said he didn't know, but he didn't want Gu An to take it first.
"You dare not, because there are some things you cannot explain, let alone deny, because I have evidence in my hands."
After saying that, Gu An looked at the people around him. At this time, the restaurant was surrounded by the people on the three floors inside and three floors outside. They all wanted to hear why Gu An killed so many soldiers.
Gu An said in a deep voice: "Dear fellow villagers, do you all know that more than 30 villages have been slaughtered by pirates in the past ten years? To be honest, the emperor has received the news and has obtained important evidence. Hu Youliang, the former highest-ranking soldier in Changzhou, should make the decision for the people, kill pirates, and block the Japanese pirates from getting ashore. However, he colluded with pirates and massacred ordinary people, killed Liang and took all those ordinary people as pirates, and then reported them to the court to say that they had killed so many pirates and made great contributions. Then the court awarded him another reward, allowing him to step by step to be promoted to a third-rank official and go to the capital to become an official.
Villagers, do you know how many people Hu Youliang has killed over the years? More than 2,000 ordinary people! He slaughtered thirty-three villages! Every time he took advantage of the night when there was no one, saying that these people were all pretended by pirates, and then they killed them all and then divided some dead people to pull them out to sea to suppress bandits, and wandered around the sea and then used these corpses as killing pirates.
Villagers, do you have family members in the countryside? Do you have relatives killed? Do you know that your relatives did not die at the hands of pirates, but at the hands of Hu Youliang and his subordinates? Do you know that your relatives were first regarded as victims of pirates massacre, and then pulled to the sea to pretend to be pirates again? Do you know that your relatives died twice as soon as they died?
I, Gu An, killed a lot of soldiers and destroyed a large number of soldiers, but those people were all loyal to Hu Youliang. They killed innocent people for a little profit. Over the years, countless people have died at their hands, but the real pirates have not died. Do you know that this is how these pirates along the coast fatten them?
You may ask, why did he do this? Just for promotion? I can tell you that not only promotion, he also makes profits from it. All the property of the villages slaughtered by the pirates belongs to the pirates, but the trade ships he went to sea must be divided equally, and the ships he was in should not be robbed by pirates when he went to sea, so that he could earn a large amount of money safely and smoothly. There are also the wealthy businessmen who died in ten years, and the murderers were caught by the slaughter? Who will their shops belong to? What is the profits they earn? In whose hands?
I can tell you that most of the money belongs to him, and he took out part of it and distributed it to the soldiers. It was these soldiers who helped him slaughter the village and helped him kill those wealthy businessmen. Do you still want to seek justice for such people? Do you still need Gu An to give an explanation? Do you still need Gu An to compensate them for their lives?"
After Gu An finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Kai with a meaningful look, with the disdain in his eyes being obvious.
The onlookers immediately began to whisper when they heard Gu An's explanation. They all said everything, mostly pointing to Hu Youliang, confirming Hu Youliang's actions over the years and Gu An's words. As a result, it was really the same as Gu An said, which shocked everyone present and sweated down.
Oh my God! It's so dangerous! I can live until now, it's simply a blessing from gods and Buddhas! If Hu Youliang didn't let Hu Youliang kill him, he should be glad that his family had no money, otherwise he would have died like those rich businessmen at this time.
Some people are glad that they do not live in the countryside. If they also live in the countryside, they will not know how tall the grass on the grave will grow.
Jiang Kai stood aside and was sweating profusely, his face pale, for fear that Gu An would tell the story of his collusion with Hu Youliang. If Gu An had revealed this matter at this time, the angry people around him could kill him.
Gu An looked at Jiang Kai's face and sneered, "Mr. Jiang, you have been promoted for a few months, right? You used to be a job under Hu Youliang. I believe you have been involved in the matter here, right?"
After Gu An finished speaking, some people looked at Jiang Kai with suspicion, and then they thought that he had just spoken and questioned Gu An for those dead soldiers. When they thought about it, they thought that he was in the same group as Hu Youliang.
Gu An didn't need to take action on the next thing, and the people around him went straight up and greeted Jiang Kai with their chairs and plates.
Jiang Kai and the four guards around him did not dare to attack the people in public, so they had to run around with their heads in their arms. When they passed by Gu An, they tripped up their legs. Five people piled up and fell to the ground, causing the surrounding people to beat them up on the ground.
Gu An stood in the corner with his hands in his hand, looking at Jiang Kai and his four guards who were beaten by the people and had a bruised face. He sneered and poured wine directly into his mouth with the wine pot.
I dare to plot against me, I can't kill you.
I had originally thought of waiting for two days to deal with these guys, and now I don’t have to wait. I dared to arrest them and then sent them back to Beijing to vent my anger. He could still make a name for a quick deal, so why not do it?
Jiang Kai was beaten by the people around him and vomited blood. The four guards were not healed. He held his head and curled up with his lower body and let the people beat him. Sometimes he couldn't help but want to resist, but Gu An's arms were numb with a peanut, and he couldn't even lift them up, so he could only hold them up.
The people were panting, and Gu An walked out of the corner at this time, bowed his fists and thanked everyone present, promising to give the people an explanation, and then took them back to Changzhou prison.
Jiang Kai did not plan to make Gu An, but instead caught himself in. Don’t mention that regret, but he had no choice. Who would have thought that Gu An would arrest him without hesitation. He dared to arrest people without showing any evidence. There must be the support of Emperor Wen of Wei behind him, and he could not resist even if he wanted to resist.
Jiang Kai was arrested, and his men were not lost. All officials from the fourth and fifth ranks to the sixth and seventh ranks were imprisoned. For a time, the prison in Changzhou was overcrowded and released a bunch of thieves. Of course, they paid a lot of ransom before leaving.
