Fang Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and said: "My Fang family has lived in Ningcheng for many years and has taken root here. My eldest brother is the magistrate of Ningcheng County. He loves the people like his own son. Our Fang family has a good reputation in Ningcheng over the years."
How about it, if Mr. Gu doesn’t believe me, you can go to the street and ask around, what can you find out about a family like ours?”
"What's more." Fang Zhen paused for a moment and then said: "Even if it's an investigation, we can talk about it. Mr. Gu rushed in forcefully and directly injured people. Why? Could it be that the imperial official has great power and can do this?
Unreasonable, so arrogant?!"
Fang Zhen gave Gu Chen a big hat when he came up, and as soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone in the Fang family suddenly lit up.
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, Fang Zhen became even more unreasonable and continued: "When my eldest brother was alive, he once said that officials in the imperial court hold great power, and they must lead by example. Therefore, they must be careful when investigating cases.
Legal principles and regulations require evidence. If all officials in Daxia were like Mr. Gu, who would abuse their power at will, hurt people at will based on their status, and force their way into people's homes, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"<
/p>
"What Mr. Gu did today, I have to report directly to the capital of heaven. I believe that the princes of the imperial court will never tolerate someone so wantonly disrupting the laws and regulations of Daxia!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Abusing power and hurting people, we will sue Tiandu!"
As soon as Fang Zhen said this, everyone in the Fang family immediately became excited and expressed support.
When Wu Qian saw this, he suddenly felt anxious and looked at Gu Chen with panic on his face.
Gu Chen's expression did not change, and even a smile appeared on his face at this moment. He looked at Fang Zhen, who was talking plausibly, and said, "You said you want evidence?"
"That's right." Fang Zhen said loudly: "Evidence, we need evidence, otherwise our Fang family will never accept it. If Mr. Gu has evidence, he can bring it out. The evidence is conclusive, and everyone in our Fang family will have absolutely nothing to say, no matter what
Please take care of it.”
If Fang Zhen dared to say this, he was naturally determined that Gu Chen could not produce any evidence.
Moreover, the head of their family, Fang Yong, and the magistrate of Ningcheng both died in the hands of Gu Chen. It’s good that they didn’t come to question Gu Chen. Now Gu Chen actually dares to go to the Fang family and say that he wants to investigate the Fang family. Fang Zhen
Naturally I disagree.
In fact, Gu Chen could also see this. He knew that the Fang family had a lot of complaints about Fang Yong's death. The Fang family was very dissatisfied and deliberately targeted him here.
But this is normal. Without Fang Yong, the status of the Fang family will suddenly drop a lot, and at the same time, the interests of the entire Fang family will suffer a lot.
But even so, so what?
Gu Chen really has no evidence in his hand, but today, he has found out the Fang family!
Gu Chen looked calmly at Fang Zhen who was jumping up and down in front of him. Facing everyone in the Fang family, he stood there and only said seven words.
"My words are evidence!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Zhen's expression suddenly froze. He didn't expect that Gu Chen would completely act out of common sense.
Gu Chen stood there, dressed in black clothes, tall and straight, with a handsome face, and a pair of sword eyebrows flying into his temples, showing his calmness and unhurriedness. He only heard him say: "If you, the Fang family, are not satisfied, you can sue Tiandu. I will wait for you."
, But this is all for later, but now, I want to investigate the case. If your Fang family refuses to cooperate, then I can only put everyone in your Fang family into prison and interrogate them one by one."
"How dare you?!"
When he heard that Gu Chen was going to put everyone in the Fang family into prison, Fang Zhen suddenly became anxious and no longer felt as proud as before.
"Do you think I dare? Fang Yong, the magistrate of Ningcheng, was possessed by a demon and wanted to cause trouble in Ningcheng. He was killed by me on the spot last night. I doubt your Fang family's attitude today.
Everyone in the family has been contaminated by demons and ghosts and is deliberately going against the court. If this is the case, I will not use thunderous methods!"
At this moment, Gu Chen's eyes were sharp and his momentum was overwhelming. There was a kind of breathtaking power that directly killed Fang Zhen's arrogance and made the words he wanted to say next get stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, Fang Zhen had no doubt that this young man would really do what he said.
"Impossible!"
At this time, the woman who ran to Fang Tangjin yelled: "You're talking nonsense! How could my master be possessed by a demon? He loved his people like his own son. Everyone in Ningcheng didn't know that. After his death, you actually
You still want to slander him like this, you have ulterior motives, I will sue you, I will go to heaven to sue you!"
Fang Yong's wife hugged Fang Tangjin and kept shouting there, but Gu Chen completely ignored her.
At this time, Gu Chen turned his eyes and said to Wu Qian beside him: "Captain Wu, I order you to go to the county government immediately to dispatch personnel and put everyone in the Fang family into prison immediately and wait for their fate."
When Wu Qian heard this, he glanced at everyone in the Fang family, showed hesitation and said, "Master Gu, this..."
Gu Chen looked calm and said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, they can't make trouble!"
Seeing Gu Chen like this, Wu Qian bowed, clasped his fists and said, "Wu Qian takes the order!"
Seeing Gu Chen's attitude, Fang Zhen knew that Gu Chen was serious. If he were not careful today, the entire Fang family might be thrown into jail. If that was the case, it would be too late to say anything. What else could he talk about?
Everyone complained?
Your life may be lost, who will sue?
At this moment, everyone in the Fang family was panicking, and everyone stood there at a loss.
"These are all your one-sided words. Our Fang family is not convinced. You can't do this. Without any evidence, you actually want to put everyone in our Fang family in jail. You are simply going too far!" Fang Zhen was really anxious, his eyes rolled. The child is all red.
Gu Chen glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Everything related to monsters and ghosts is a first-class matter in Daxia. Everyone under Jingtiansi has the power to make arbitrary decisions. I can even be the official of the imperial court." Kill first and then report, let alone your small Fang family."
"You don't even know the laws of Bactria, so you dare to talk to me about laws and evidence? Ridiculous!"
Wu Qian glanced at Gu Chen beside him. He never thought that at such an age, Gu Chen would not only have great strength, but also have such tough tactics.
When the Fang family encounters a person like Gu Chen, they still want to mess around. It's like the old man has eaten arsenic and feels that his life is too long.
"Wu Qian, why are you still standing here?"
When Wu Qian heard this, his expression was shocked and he said respectfully: "Master Gu, wait a moment, I'll go right away."
"Wait!"
Fang Zhen said hurriedly: "Master Gu, Master Gu, if you have anything to say, please speak up. Don't do this. We can discuss everything."
At this moment, when Fang Zhen saw how tough Gu Chen was, he was also confused and panicked. His attitude made a 180-degree turn, and he no longer dared to be like before.
"Why, are you scared now? Unfortunately, it's too late." Gu Chen said, and at the same time motioned Wu Qian to go to the county government to call someone.
"Master Gu, please forgive me for your life. It was my Fang family who was causing trouble before. It's our family's fault. I beg you, Master Gu, please spare us this time." Fang Zhen's face turned pale and he kept pleading with Gu Chen.< /p>
It can be said that how proud he was before, how regretful he is now.
Evil people need to be punished by evil people. Naturally, Gu Chen would not sympathize with people like Fang Zhen. Without teaching them a profound lesson, they really thought that Gu Chen would be easy to deal with.
However, the Fang family has a large population, and many county government officials died yesterday. Now is the time when manpower is insufficient. It is a complete waste of time to put everyone in the Fang family in jail.
Now that the Fang family has surrendered, there is no need to do so. So, Gu Chen said: "In this case, then immediately, in the shortest possible time, summon all the members of the Fang family, regardless of gender, old or young, to me In front of you."
"Yes, follow the order." Fang Zhen said weakly, no longer daring to disobey Gu Chen, and quickly said a few words to the servants beside him, asking them to quickly pass on the order.
This time the Fang family did learn well and was very efficient. It didn't take long for everyone in the Fang family to stand in front of Gu Chen.
