Han official!

Chapter 69 Concubine
"Killing! Killing!"

"Officials killed people!"

"Everyone, come and see! Officials are killing us common people!"

The actors and soldiers surrounding Wei Guang were all cunning and treacherous. As soon as they were surrounded by the guards, they started shouting loudly, attracting the attention of many common people.

"Ah."

Guo Jie laughed. The scene before him looked very much like a deadbeat debtor whose property was being forcibly confiscated. He kept howling and screaming about the violent law enforcement in an attempt to gain sympathy.

This forced law enforcement officers to suspend execution to avoid causing a public outcry.

Those who have been owed money by deadbeats for several years can only wait in tears, not knowing when the deadbeat’s property will be executed again and the money they deserve will be returned to them.

The perpetrator, Lao Lai, stands on the moral high ground.

It's the biggest joke.

However, many people who do not know the truth are misled into believing that what they see in the video is true, and become people who speak up for the deadbeat.

Guo Jie walked out of the Feichang House. Gao Street was crowded with pedestrians, looking at a group of common people in plain hats gathered at the door of the Feichang House.

"Public opinion is very unfavorable."

Guo Jie laughed again, remembering a phrase in official language he often heard in meetings in the past.

The common people deliberately knelt on the ground, trying to win the sympathy of the people, and cried out loudly that the officials were killing people.

None of the common people kneeling down were good people.

Shu (a herdsman), old concubine, comedian, dwarf, prostitute.
All the actors, servants, poor porters and peddlers gathered together.

The common people in plain clothes did not understand the truth and, influenced by the actors and servants, began to point fingers at Guo Jie.

"Detaining common people without any reason is clearly bullying us ordinary people."

"I don't think this village headman named Guo Jie is a good man either. He's the same kind of corrupt officials."

"Bah! Do you still have any law? How dare you arrest people in broad daylight?"

The old concubines, actors, and philanderers all looked cunning, but when they heard the common people in hats speaking up for them, their faces lit up with joy and they shouted even louder.

"Hurry up and report to the authorities, and get the chief official from the Chang'an Temple."

"Zhang Tang, the Chang'an officer, is Guo Jie's superior and will definitely stand up for common people like us."

"Guo Jie, who arbitrarily arrested people, must be severely punished!"

"Moral blackmail me?"

Guo Jie sneered and said, "I'm no longer an official within the system, but an official of the Han Dynasty. I'm not afraid of moral kidnapping."

He strode forward and grabbed the old concubine who was shouting the loudest, a butt-selling woman who was unwanted at her age and had no desire to work. She spent her days cheating and eating for free.

"I have been treated like a freeloader."

Guo Jie turned around and said, "Give him a ring-handled sword."

The old concubine took the ring-handled knife and was secretly delighted. If she took it away and sold it, the money would be enough for food and drink for half a month.

The Gao Street in front of Feichangwu was crowded with common people, and it was packed with people. People from the neighborhood kept coming.

The number of people is increasing.

The old concubine thought to herself, how dare he kill someone in public? Guo Jie is an official in the government.

He gripped the ring-handled sword tightly, refusing to let go, and shouted, "This ring-handled sword is mine. Consider it your apology for arresting people at random. Ah! What are you doing!"

Guo Jie grabbed the old concubine by the neck, pointed at the pile of skulls at the door of the extraordinary room and said, "Do you know how those people died?"

The skulls of powerful clansmen were used to build a Jingguan, and now only bare skulls remain.

Many powerful people went to the Chang'an government to accuse Guo Jie, but he used a sentence to intimidate the barbarians and shut the powerful people up.

It has been left behind.

The old concubine's legs trembled, and she forced a smile: "Nu Nu."

Before he could finish speaking.

The sword flashed.

Guo Jie chopped off the old concubine's head in public.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and a head with its eyes open rolled to the feet of many common people, causing an uproar.

"How dare Guo Jie kill commoners in public?" "Kill commoners? Didn't you see the heads of the powerful clansmen were still hanging outside the door of the Extraordinary House?"

"I thought it was a leftover sheep skull, placed at the door to show the pavilion chief's wealth."

"Pooh!"

Guo Jie wiped the blood off his face and said, "I won't fall for moral blackmail!"

"Mangtong."

Guo Jie turned to look at the terrified actors and soldiers, grinning grimly and saying, "These people are trying to steal the weapons from the Five Hyogo Armories and are plotting a rebellion. Kill them all!"

The actor and servant immediately started crying out.

"I won't dare to say that anymore."

"I know I was wrong, and I beg Captain Guo to spare my life."

"Little man. Ah!"

Do you regret it now?

late!

Mang Tong did not hesitate at all, even if it meant killing people in public, he immediately followed Guo Jie's order and took the guards to kill all the actors and soldiers.

Flashes of knife light flashed by.

Heads fell one after another.

There was a river of blood in front of the Feichangwu house.

Guo Jie looked up at the crowd of onlookers and sneered, "Before, it was impossible to catch keyboard warriors by following the internet. But now it's different. If you dare to make a false accusation in front of me, you will be arrested immediately and sent to the city prison."

The common people who were shouting in the crowd were frightened, but soon became fearless again.

There were too many people in Gaojie Duting, and it was impossible for Guo Jie to arrest them all.

Could it be that several people from the neighborhood were arrested?

Guo Jie saw the thoughts of the clamoring common people and sneered, "You're hiding among the common people, and you think I can't catch a few of you? What a joke! If you don't expose the clamoring people, you will be punished together! I will arrest all of you and send you to the city to grind grain!"

One sentence means collective punishment.

This avoided what the cruel official Zhao Yu once said: the number of people cannot reach one thousand.

Guo Jie only wanted to arrest the dozens of people who were shouting.

It probably didn’t reach a thousand people.

The number of people implicated reached one thousand.

It has nothing to do with Guo Jie.

Everything is done in accordance with Han law.

The words "collective punishment" frightened many common people and they hurriedly exposed the incident.

"The man next to me is shouting and falsely accusing Chief Guo."

"Two people around me have falsely accused Chief Guo."

"And the few people behind the villain."

Many common people rushed to expose the person who was shouting, fearing that they would be implicated.

The common people who joined in the discussion all looked as pale as death, and they wanted to slap themselves in the mouth. If they were sent to the city to work as pounders, most of them would die of exhaustion from the labor.

Now, there is no use regretting.

Guo Jie waved his hand impatiently and said, "Send them to the prison officer for detention. First, interrogate them, then send them to the city to be pounded. As for the bodies of the actors and servants, throw them out to feed the dogs. They are not fit to be placed at the door of the extraordinary house."

Wei Guang was embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. I never thought I would bring such a big disaster to you."

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Jie shook his head and said, "I don't object to you making friends. Emperor Gaozu achieved great things because he had many friends. But you must not associate with bad people. Poverty is not a problem, but you must value trust and loyalty."

Wei Guang was overjoyed and quickly pulled someone over and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by Duo's unassuming appearance. He is one of the few people who sends him gifts."

Duoduo?

Guo Jie frowned and said, "It doesn't sound like a Han Chinese name."
