Chapter 257 Killing a Chicken for Fun
"Captain Gao, it seems you're the only one in your family who understands. In that case, let's go to the underworld together."
Gu Changfeng's words were so murderous that Gao Wanmin's heart sank to the bottom, and he had no way out.
"you dare!"
Two exclamations rang out at the same time, and Gao Rong and Gao Wanlin's faces turned pale. They didn't expect that Gu Changfeng would not fall for their tricks.
"Haha, I've killed a lot of devils, so why would I be afraid of shooting you? You think too highly of yourselves."
Gu Changfeng's smile was very cold. He hated the devils and hated the traitors even more.
So the Japanese must be killed, and the traitors must be killed even more, no negotiation.
Gao Rong was scared and looked at Gu Changfeng and begged, "Sir, how much money do you want to let us go?"
He has lived for more than 50 years and has never met anyone who would fight over a disagreement. Even the bandits were only after money.
With the financial power of the Gao family, they usually use money to settle the dispute when they encounter something they cannot defeat.
But today, it seems that money can no longer buy life.
Gu Changfeng ignored him, turned to look at Xiao Wu and ordered: "Go to the big stage at the market, take everyone over there."
"By the way, have someone gather all the people here. I'm going to deal with these people in the street today. Let them come and file a complaint."
"Anyone in the Gao family who oppresses the people will be shot."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the Gao family had the same thought in their minds: "It's over!"
As the largest, most populous and most powerful family in the local area, the Gao family must have committed many crimes.
Once the people come, there will be almost no chance of survival for the Gao family.
"If you really want to be so ruthless, don't you know that the laws of nature are cyclical?" Gao Rong shouted hysterically.
It's ridiculous that at this point, he could actually think of such a word.
Gu Changfeng turned around and looked at the Gao family members being escorted by the team members and said:
"The so-called cycle of heaven means that you have done too many evil things in the past, and today you have encountered me. Those who have oppressed the people in the past, think carefully about how to confess to the King of Hell!"
An hour later, it was 9 am.
The Gao family was taken to the market place under the watchful eyes of the people, just like an ancient execution ground.
When the people were notified, they were still a little bit incredulous. After all, the Gao family had been doing business here for more than a hundred years. Suddenly someone told them that they were going to judge the Gao family and make decisions for them. Everyone came out to watch the fun with doubts.
When they really saw the Gao family members being escorted here one by one, all the people were excited and started cursing who in the Gao family was a beast and how they bullied them.
Some rotten vegetable leaves were naturally thrown to the Gao family. There were plenty of these things in the market.
The special forces soldiers could only helplessly dodge to avoid being affected.
This place is named after the Gao family. Ordinary people have all suffered from the oppression of the Gao family to some extent. Now that someone is speaking for them, the people naturally applaud.
Gu Changfeng stood on the stage, holding a broken loudspeaker, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, you should all know what we are here for today."
"Start lining up now to register evidence of the Gao family's crimes. We will send someone to verify it. If there is no problem, those who oppressed you will be executed here tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as the words fell, someone shouted in a crying voice.
"My Lord! Finally someone is speaking up for me. My daughter was taken away by these beasts, and they sent her back a corpse!"
As he spoke, he was already weeping.
"I want to file a complaint. Two years ago, those lackeys of the Gao family, under the instructions of the second young master of the Gao family, beat my father's legs to a pulp."
"Just because I was in their way, they were so cruel. My father is still lying in bed."
A young man in his 20s later came forward to accuse the Gao family of crimes.
Gao Wanlin's face turned even paler when he heard this. He had been the local emperor of the Gao family for a long time, so how could he remember so much?
However, seeing the people's indignation, there was only fear on his face. He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, shouting for his life.
The other members of the Gao family who had guilty consciences followed suit and kowtowed.
Only Gao Rong was still in a daze. He couldn't figure out why he suddenly became like this.
When the people saw the Gao family like this, they naturally lined up to tell them how they were bullied by the Gao family.
Later, Gu Changfeng even heard about the evil things done by the deceased Old Master Gao, which made him laugh and cry. It was impossible for him to dig up the Gao family's ancestral grave.
In the following time, Zhao Ziqing led the special forces to record the evidence, while the soldiers of the first battalion were responsible for verification.
The security corps had two companies of soldiers watching over them, and they had surrendered their weapons, so there was almost no need to worry about them causing trouble.
Soon, a day passed, and the next day more and more people came to hear the news.
The Gao family's land is spread across all the villages, totaling more than 100,000 acres. Even the remotest villages have land under their name.
Since the people know that someone is on their side, they will naturally seek revenge and redress grievances.
The execution was delayed until the third day. There was really too much to verify, and Gu Changfeng had no choice.
For this purpose, he transferred the Second Battalion to Gaojia Town for defense.
Finally, near dusk on the third day, all the evidence was verified.
Except for some women and children, all members of the Gao family were executed.
As the soldiers fired their guns, the Gao family, which had been domineering for over a hundred years, was drowned in the cheers of the people.
Gu Changfeng took the opportunity to announce that all the Gao family's land would be distributed equally to the local people, and the rent would only be 10%.
When these words came out, the people were in disbelief at first, and then the whole audience shouted "Qingtian"
After all, if you rent land from landlords and gentry for less than 50%, you are considered a good person. Now there is land that only charges 10% rent, so the people are naturally excited.
People are like this. If you are good to them, they will be better to you and treat you like family.
As the Gao family's story spread to more than a dozen surrounding villages, the landlords and gentry became afraid and chose to lower the interest rate to 40%.
When faced with such an unreasonable person, these landlords and gentry wisely chose to cooperate, fearing that they would be the next.
Over the next month, the Laiyuan devils might have discovered the existence of Gu Changfeng's troops, but they did not come to Gaojia Town as promised.
After all, at this point, the fact that Gu Changfeng's troops had wiped out a regiment in Lingqiu City could no longer be concealed, and the Japanese intelligence department was no pushover.
It just so happened that Gu Changfeng was happy to deal with the matters at the rear.
All the land of the Gao family entered a vigorous land distribution period. Zhou Qianli and Zhao Ziqing led soldiers from each camp to go deep into the villages to organize the land distribution.
With the deterrent effect of the Gao family being almost wiped out, these landlords and gentry did not dare to obstruct the soldiers from entering the village and showed extreme cooperation.
The people were very happy to receive the benefits, and more and more people from each village volunteered to join the army.
Gu Changfeng had already planned to form a militia company, so he simply asked each battalion to send personnel into each village.
Qualified soldiers will be selected and sent to Xianyaling for further training.
By August, there were 8 people entering the Xianyaling base for training, and the militia companies in more than a dozen surrounding villages were expanded to 1000 people.
Gaojia Town is the most populous and has the largest number of soldiers, with a militia company of 500 people.
Gu Changfeng was not short of food, so he was delighted to see this situation.
His direct military strength has now expanded from more than 5000 to more than 8000, and including the militia, it is almost people.
After things settled down, Gu Changfeng naturally asked the new recruits to find work, and the bandits became his target again.
Under the escort of the special forces and the simultaneous deployment of various battalions, the new recruits grew very quickly, and the bandits within a radius of one or two hundred kilometers suffered.
After a month of crackdown, the bandits who were lucky enough to survive also ran away. With such a team around, they had no room to survive and staying would be a dead end.
This time, a large number of bandits were escorted to the rear of Xianyaling. Hundreds of bandit leaders were shot, and then more than 3,000 bandits were forced into a reform period.
It is worth mentioning that the Xianyaling base has been getting bigger and bigger. After several months of construction, the mountains behind have been completely transformed and can accommodate more and more people.
