Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"But my mother died young, and my second brother also died young. Now he's the only relative I have left in this world. I, I can't watch him die!"

Huang Bairen's words were so sincere that Wei Wu's face darkened.

"Offended me? Huang Bairen, you're so bold! Should I say you're distorting the facts? Or are you confusing right and wrong?"

"If it was really just because of an offense, I wouldn't bother him. Who is his status, and why would I bother him?"

"Your brother Huang San broke into my private property, stole property, and framed me. What the hell does this have to do with offending me? Zhang Hai, slap your face!"

Hearing Wei Wu's order, Zhang Hai raised his hand and slapped him without saying a word.

Huang Bairen was just an ordinary person and could not withstand Zhang Hai's strength. Two of his teeth were pulled out on the spot.

After getting up from the ground, Huang Bairen covered his swollen left cheek and wanted to say something, but Wei Wu did not give him a chance.

"You want to use rhetoric to guide the people, so that they will ignore the fact that Huang San committed a crime and only focus on my status as a powerful official, right?"

"It's a pity that you were wrong. I didn't come to you to cover up for Huang San."

After saying that, Wei Wu turned around and gave Zhang Hai a look, and then saw Zhang Hai turn around and walk into the cabin.

When Zhang Hai came out again, he was holding a bloody corpse in his hand, but this was just the beginning.

Next, Zhang Hai kept returning to the cabin, taking out one body after another and piling them on the dock.

"Huang Bairen, do these pirates look familiar to you? After taking so much money from them, they wouldn't pretend not to know you, would they?"

Seeing the pile of Japanese pirates' corpses in front of him, Huang Bairen's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart was in his throat.

Just as he was racking his brains over how to argue, Wei Wu spoke again.

"These pirates massacred seven villages, yet they repeatedly escaped government suppression because you asked Huang San to inform them."

"As the chief official of Tongzhou, you colluded with the Japanese pirates to harm your own people. Huang Bairen, have you lost your conscience?"

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Huang Bairen's face suddenly stopped hurting and he started to cry out for justice.

"My Lord, this is unjust! This humble servant did not do this, and how dare this humble servant do this!"

Seeing Huang Bairen's current appearance, Wei Wu was almost laughed out of anger. No matter whether he was a human or a ghost, he dared to cry out for injustice!

"Unjust? Do you think these are corpses, and the dead can't speak, so there is no evidence?"

At this point, Wei Wu sneered, waved to Zhang Hai, and said coldly:

"You're overthinking it. I never said I didn't have any survivors. You should be very familiar with this person!"

While Wei Wu was speaking, Zhang Hai had already brought the living Japanese pirate to Huang Bairen.

When Huang Bairen saw this Japanese pirate, he felt as if all his energy had been drained away. His body went limp and he knelt on the ground.

He knew that he was finished. The Japanese pirate was in Wei Wu's hands, and it would be useless even if he told the whole world about it.

Because, this was the Japanese pirate who came to him and asked for cooperation. This Japanese pirate knew too much!

Seeing Huang Bairen's current state, the people watching around him all understood.

Come to think of it, some of them were misled by Huang Bairen's words just now.

They ignored the fact that Huang San had indeed committed the crimes of theft and slander, and only thought that Huang San had offended Wei Wu, a powerful figure.

But in fact, we can't blame them for this. After all, class contradictions were an unavoidable topic in the feudal era.

But now they also understand that Wei Wu arrested Huang San and Huang Bairen not for such a trivial matter.

That’s right, compared with colluding with Japanese pirates to harm the people, Huang San’s theft and Huang Bairen’s sheltering were nothing.

The facts are right in front of us. The corpses of a group of Japanese pirates and Huang Bairen's current distraught appearance are enough to explain the problem.
