In an instant, the people's eyes looking at Huang Bairen all changed. It was hatred and anger from the depths of their souls.
You have to know that this is Tongzhou, a place close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the people here basically deal with the sea.
Over the years, they have suffered a lot of harassment and looting from Japanese pirates, and they all have some grudges against them.
Everyone in this world has relatives and friends, not to mention that in recent times, these Japanese pirates have massacred seven villages and killed so many people.
For the local people, Huang Bairen's corruption and abuse of power were more acceptable than his collusion with the Japanese pirates.
Just when everyone around hated Huang Bairen and wanted to tear him into pieces, an angry roar came from the crowd.
"You beast, I'm going to kill you, you beast!!!"
The sudden roar stunned everyone around and they couldn't understand what was happening.
But at this moment, a coolie rushed out from the crowd, holding a long flat cart used to carry goods in his hand.
Before Wei Wu and Zhang Hai could react, they saw the coolie raising the carrying pole and smashing it down on Huang Bairen's head.
No one expected this situation to happen suddenly, so naturally no one could react in time to stop it.
However, Huang Bairen, the person involved, instinctively tilted his head to avoid his vital points.
However, although his head dodged the blow, his body had no time to react and was hit hard on the shoulder by the carrying pole.
Click!
"what!!"
There was a crisp sound of bone breaking, accompanied by Huang Bairen's scream of pain.
It can be seen from Huang Bairen's slightly dislocated and deformed shoulders that he definitely used all his strength to carry this shoulder pole.
But that’s not all. The coolie obviously didn’t expect that he couldn’t beat Huang Bairen to death with a carrying pole.
So when Huang Bairen screamed, he raised the carrying pole in his hand again and smashed it towards his head again.
Unfortunately, no one reacted just now, but this time, everyone was staring at him intently.
As a result, the coolie failed to kill Huang Bairen, and the carrying pole in his hand was snatched away by the Jinyiwei next to him.
"How dare you commit murder right in front of Marquis Changle!"
The Jinyiwei shouted angrily, and then two of them came up and subdued the coolie and pressed him to the ground.
But even though he was suppressed, the coolie still gritted his teeth and struggled desperately to crawl to Huang Bairen's side.
There was a feeling that he would bite Huang Bairen to death even if he had to. Wei Wu was surprised by the ruthlessness shown by this coolie.
However, he had a rough idea in his mind.
"I'm afraid this coolie's relatives were killed by the Japanese pirates!"
Just as Wei Wu was thinking this, the coolie who was pinned to the ground happened to speak.
"Let me go, let me go! If you let me kill this beast, I'll pay you with my own life. Let me kill him!"
He would kill Huang Bairen even if it meant paying with his own life. If it weren't for the deep blood feud, he would never have gone to such lengths.
Everyone who saw this scene was confused, and at this time, someone in the crowd gave an explanation.
"Sir, sir, please have mercy on me, sir. Gazi didn't mean to offend us. It's just that, their entire village was harmed by the Japanese pirates."
"Gazi is from Erhe Village. Whenever he has time, he goes to the dock to move goods and earn money. He wants to earn a little extra to support his wife."
"When the Japanese pirates broke into Erhe Village and burned, killed, and looted, Gazi happened to come to the dock to make money. When he returned..."
At this point, an old man in his fifties walked out of the crowd and continued with a choked voice:
"When he returned, his elderly mother had been beheaded by the Japanese pirates and her head thrown into a toilet."
"Poor his seven-month pregnant wife, the baby is about to be born, and he will be a father too."
"But, but those beasts, after they raped her, they cut open her stomach alive and dug out the child."
"Gazi, when he returned, that child, that child, was hung from the beam by the Japanese pirates..."
What is certain is that there will be even more outrageous things happening later, but the old man could no longer speak!
In fact, even if the old man could continue speaking, the people around him would not be able to listen to him. It was so tragic that ordinary people could hardly accept it.
Looking at Gazi being pinned to the ground by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the people could hardly imagine how he managed to hold on.
Just when everyone was moved, Wei Wu walked up to Gazi with an expressionless face.
He first waved to the Jinyiwei people.
"Let him go!"
The two Jinyiwei looked at each other, somewhat worried that the mad Gazi would attack Wei Wu, but they did not dare to disobey.
In the end, they obeyed Wei Wu's order and let Gazi go. The two did not leave, but stayed on Gazi's left and right.
Fortunately, Gazi was no longer impulsive. He just looked at Huang Bairen with red eyes, and the hatred in his eyes was beyond words.
At this time, Wei Wukan also spoke.
"Gazi, let me ask you, is what the old man said true?"
Gazi didn't say anything, just nodded, but the expression on his face was enough to explain the problem.
Seeing this, Wei Wu nodded and spoke again:
"You bear a deep blood feud. It's right that you want to avenge your family, but I don't agree with the practice of paying for life with life."
Hearing Wei Wu's words, everyone thought he was going to preach some profound truth like how precious life is.
But then Wei Wu changed the subject and continued:
"Whether it's Huang Bairen or the Japanese pirates, their lives are worthless and cannot compensate for yours. You've lost money on this deal."
"Now that I've seen it, I won't let him make a loss. If you want revenge, I'll hand this damn official over to you to do whatever you want with him."
As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, the people around him immediately clapped their hands and cheered, but at this time, Huang Bairen shouted.
"Marquis Changle! I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Even if I am guilty, the prefect should report to the Ministry of Justice for approval. You are setting up a private punishment hall, which is a crime of usurpation!"
Huang Bairen knew that he was going to die, but he didn't want to die now. Even if he could live a few more days, the longer he could delay, the better.
It’s a pity that for Wei Wu, his idea is destined to be just a delusion.
"Huang Bairen, do you think I arrested you to interrogate you? Haha, you're wrong. I'm here to execute you!"
