Chapter 513 Good Citizens and Thugs
The villagers outside saw the Red Gang leader being killed, and the other three big families were also captured, and they shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill them." The crowd was indignant, and the sound was deafening.
The three bosses were also tough. They stood up and angrily faced Zhang Pa. They looked very unwilling and wanted to fight. The head of the village shouted: "I am an official on the list of the court, you can't kill me."
"Is the head of the village also an official?" Zhang Pa said sarcastically. In a country with thousands of counties, there are not many other things, but many officials. He had killed several county-level city officials and generals, so how could he take a mere head of the village seriously? Moreover, he had a preconceived idea that this guy was not a good person, so his words were a bit harsh.
He turned around and asked the five fishermen behind him: "Let's not talk about the Qinghui. What do the head of the village and Zhang Baiwan usually do?" One sentence determined the life and death of the Qinghui leader, and handed the life and death of the other two to the five fishermen.
The five fishermen did not dare to speak casually. They had seen that this young man was really murderous. They were afraid that if they said something wrong, they would take someone's life and be retaliated in the future.
The three bosses turned their eyes to the five people and looked at them coldly, which put them under great pressure. And someone in the crowd shouted wildly: "Kill, kill, kill." Forcing them to make a choice, the five people were in a dilemma for a while.
Zhang Pa did not urge them, and shouted to the bald Qingpi: "You, let all three families come out, tell them that if they don't come out, they will be killed." Qingpi hurriedly ran to convey the message nervously.
The leader of the Qinghui was born as a gangster, and he had some blood left. He knew that today would definitely not be good, so he clasped his fists to Zhang Pa and said: "I will leave by myself, and you will save my family's lives."
Zhang Pa said: "Okay, as long as they don't do evil things."
The leader of the Qinghui smiled miserably, leaned over and picked up a knife from the ground, looked towards the direction of the house, and saw his wife, concubines, and children walking out. He gritted his teeth and cut his neck and fell down, and died soon.
Zhang Baiwan's face tensed and he shouted, "What did I do? I need to pay with my life."
Zhang Pa's goal was to eliminate the fishing tyrants, but he didn't expect that there would be more security chiefs and landlords. However, seeing that the two did not behave like good people, he said coldly, "Don't you know what you have done?"
Zhang Baiwan's life was hanging in the hands of others, and he argued in a hurry, "Even if there is a fault, it is not a crime punishable by death. If you don't believe it, ask the villagers."
Zhang Pa was a little overwhelmed. Killing people was easy, but judging who was good and who was bad was a troublesome matter. He temporarily put it aside and looked at the people coming out of the three houses. The difference was found at a glance. The people who came out of the Red Gang yard just now were all young and strong men, while the people coming out of the three houses were mostly elderly, women and children. In addition to the Qinghui, there were nearly a hundred young gang members. The security chief's family and Zhang Baiwan's family had only more than 30 servants to guard the yard. When these people came out, some people in the surrounding crowd shouted their names and asked them to leave. But more people were still shouting and killing.
It is known without asking that these three families are local residents, have family relatives, and are related to the villagers. The Red Gang was an outsider and was not popular. No wonder they were beaten. The three families just watched and did not help.
The three families did not know what was going on. They were called out in a daze. When they went out, they saw the wounded all over the ground and the corpses lying on the street. Their former arrogance turned into uneasiness at this moment. They looked around and found the head of the family and crowded to run over here. One was to find the backbone, and the other was to ask what happened.
The family of the head of the Qinghui was not so lucky. The three women were panic-stricken and terrified. They were particularly conspicuous in the crowd with four children. They were also looking for the head of the family. Someone whispered a reminder, and the three women were more frightened. They walked towards the body of the head of the Qinghui with their children, knelt down and cried like rain.
After half a day of tossing, almost all the villagers were here, about 4,000 people. Fortunately, the center of the village was large enough that they could barely squeeze in on the roofs and trees. Zhang Pa said loudly: "People should be responsible for what they have done. The Red Gang oppressed the people and exploited the villagers. They are vicious and cruel. They should be killed! Now the ringleader will be executed, and the rest will be punished. Anyone who is not injured should find a way to atone for his sins."
Unexpectedly, the villagers did not listen to him. More and more people shouted: "Kill, kill, kill." Zhang Pa was a little unhappy and shouted: "Shut up! Who dares to interrupt me when I am talking, hehe."
The voice was cold and terrifying, scaring most people, but there were still a few people who made trouble. Zhang Pa smiled coldly. They were bad people. They liked to see people who lived better than them suffer misfortune. They were blindly obedient and followed the crowd regardless of right or wrong.
Slowly walking towards the intersection, there was an old man shouting the loudest. Zhang Pa asked him: "Are you tired?" The old man was very angry: "Why don't you kill those bastards?" "Every one of them deserves to die?" Zhang Pa asked again. "All deserve to die!" The old man answered decisively.
"Then go and kill them." Zhang Pa stuffed him with a knife. After the old man was caught, he hesitated and dared not step forward. Someone around him shouted: "Go, go and kill them!" His encouragement caused more people to shout.
There was only a thin line between good people and thugs.
There were more than 500 people in the four major families in the center of the village. Zhang Pa knocked down more than 100 people and killed several of them, leaving more than 300 or nearly 400 people. Among them were more than 100 old, weak, women and children, mainly the two families of the head of the village and the rich man, whose subordinates also had families.
Zhang Pa dragged the old man out, and then pulled out a young man who was shouting and murdering. He dragged the two to the head of the village and Zhang Baiwan and asked the old man: "Do you hate them very much?" "Hate!" said the old man. The young man said: "I hate them too, and I don't want them to die!"
Zhang Pa looked at Zhang Baiwan: "Didn't you say that your crime was not punishable by death?"
"My crime was not punishable by death. I just bought cheap and sold expensive and collected more rent. I didn't kill them. Why should I die?" Zhang Baiwan was quite reasonable.
Zhang Pa nodded and asked the head of the village: "You too?"
The security chief was not as confident as Zhang Wanwan, so he said in a low voice: "We only collect a little more every year, but we have never forced anyone to death; these idiots dare not even pay the court's taxes. Do they want me to pay them?" I can only take people to seal up the houses and collect the fields.”
Zhang Ai sneered and said, "You have such a high house and such a big yard, but you just charge a little more?"
The two guys talk to avoid the truth. You don't need to listen to know that they are very wet. I have never seen anyone put a shit basin on themselves at the critical moment of life and death. Zhang was afraid to say to the old man: "Tell me how they deserve to die."
The old man opened his mouth but didn't speak. He didn't think of any extremely evil deeds that could lead to death. Their hatred is mainly focused on the two major gangs, the Qinghui and the Red Gang, because the Baochang and the rich man's family often bully others, and they hate them together.
Zhang Awei understood that Baochang and Zhang Wanwan were indeed not good people. They were greedy, selfish, and used their power to oppress others. They did many bad things, but their crimes were not fatal. They left some leeway in doing things, and their hearts were not completely blackened. So he said: "I just said that people should be responsible for what they have done. I don't have to kill you two. How can you two atone for your sins?"
"We will give you money, five thousand, no, ten thousand taels of silver, all for your Excellency." Zhang Baiwan said hurriedly.
