Brother, You're My Brother, My Brother Lin

Upon returning to the Security Bureau, Lin Fan found the constables looking at him as if he were a ghost.

They ran faster than dogs.

It was clear they knew about his heroic deeds. The most explosive must have been punching Chen Xingzhi in the face on the street.

When Lin Fan and Captain Song walked into the prison.

The constables, keeping their distance, whispered amongst themselves.

"Truly terrifying. This Lin fellow is incredibly audacious, daring to hit Headman Chen. I think his end is near."

"Obviously. Who doesn't know our Headman Chen holds grudges?"

"What was he thinking? He's a constable now, living an easy life, taking bribes, isn't that good enough? Why stir up all this trouble? He's definitely sick."

"He wouldn't do this if he wasn't seriously ill."

If you were to ask them why they became constables.

They would undoubtedly declare righteously.

For the people.

For justice.

For righteousness.

As for in private, being a constable was great. Plenty of bribes, and life was incredibly satisfying.

Inside the prison.

Lin Fan and Captain Song kept their distance, avoiding the stench attack from He Sen, who ate feces. The killing power was too terrifying.

Yang Ming, holding a bucket with disgust, repeatedly poured water on He Sen.

"My lords, please, have mercy, let me return to my cell. He's too smelly, I can't stand it." Jin Biao's arrogance and wildness were gone, his eyes revealing the look of an honest person.

Lin Fan covered his nose, waving the air in front of him. "Damn it, evil people are just evil. They even eat shit."

He Sen, letting the foul water wash over him, heard Lin Fan's voice and struggled, roaring ferociously, "Lin Fan, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

If looks could kill, he would have been anally violated by He Sen's gaze.

And a very, very miserable one at that.

"Blech..."

Yang Ming's face changed drastically, and he ran to the trash can in the corner, bending over and vomiting profusely. It was better when the other person wasn't speaking; once he did, the smell of feces was too strong.

A moment later, Yang Ming reluctantly approached Lin Fan.

"Brother, it won't wash off."

"It's fine. How did the interrogation go?"

He had captured He Sen and the others, and never intended to let them go. Killing them was a given, but how to kill them, when to kill them, and how to execute it was also a form of knowledge.

Mentioning this, Yang Ming's cheeks puffed up in anger.

"Brother, they are too detestable. This guy is tough, he won't confess anything, but his subordinates have confessed everything, all pointing to He Sen. In just half a year, they defiled over fifty women."

Hearing this.

Lin Fan also took a deep breath.

This meant over fifty families... no, even more. Some were married, which meant two families. Facing such a situation, where could they seek justice?

"Captain, have none of these cases been resolved?" Lin Fan asked.

Song Qing said, "Most were handled by Chen Xingzhi. Some were scapegoats who confessed voluntarily, making it difficult to implicate He Sen."

Lin Fan angrily said, "Damn it, Chen Xingzhi! If he dares to show his face to me right now, I'll cripple him."

If Yang Ming had said such a thing, Captain Song would have reprimanded him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

But now, it was Lin Fan saying it.

He knew this was something Lin Fan could actually do.

At this moment, Lin Fan was incredibly furious.

This was the damn ancient times. Officials colluding with gangs was truly a hellish disaster for the common people.

He secretly vowed that as he progressed, he would bring all the criminals in Yong'an City to justice. Not a single one would escape.

Lin Fan pulled Yang Ming aside and whispered, "Most of these are capital offenses, right?"

Yang Ming pondered for a moment. "Most of them are. Only a few individuals' crimes don't warrant a death sentence. According to the law, it's twenty years of imprisonment."

"Imprisonment? Keeping them alive is a waste of food. Distribute the crimes, ensure a death sentence at the very least."

Lin Fan said it casually, but it sent a shiver down Yang Ming's spine, as if the death penalty was as trivial as a beating in Brother Lin's mouth.

"Aren't we killing a bit too many? Should we do it in batches?"

As Yang Ming spoke, he glanced at the group of prisoners, making their hair stand on end. They felt as if something terrifying was about to happen.

Lin Fan looked at Yang Ming with a strange expression. He had thought Yang Ming felt that killing too many would have negative repercussions and wanted to spare a few. He hadn't expected Yang Ming was suggesting doing it in batches.

This is truly cruel.

"Brother, did I say something wrong to make you look at me with such a strange expression?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

Lin Fan waved his hand, "It's nothing. There's no need to deal with them in batches. They'll die sooner or later anyway, so let's just finish it all at once. Besides, our dungeon doesn't have enough space, and more prisoners will be sent in continuously. It's necessary to free up some room."

"That makes sense."

No matter what Brother Lin said.

He would always support it.

The reason he asked so many questions was that he could tell Brother Lin was very happy to explain things to others. This not only helped him understand why, but also satisfied Brother Lin's desire to enlighten people.

Killing two birds with one stone.

A win-win situation.

At this moment, Lin Fan received a notification that someone was looking for him at the entrance. When he arrived, he saw Wang Changhai and a group of his brothers waiting.

"Hall Master, why are you here?"

He asked this question knowingly. It was likely that the higher-ups of Loyalty Hall couldn't sit still and wanted to use Wang Changhai's relationship with him to pressure him.

Wang Changhai looked at Lin Fan with complex emotions. He had promoted Lin Fan himself, but who could have imagined he would rise so quickly, transform into a constable, and then do something so earth-shattering.

When he first heard about it, he was truly scared stiff.

Sitting at home, he felt a chill run down his spine and his body tremble.

"My brother, I'm calling you brother now, my Brother Lin, how could you arrest He Sen? Now the Gang Leader and three Hall Masters want to see you. I can see they're eyeing you with malice."

Wang Changhai's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.

When his wife heard about this.

She almost fainted.

Lin Fan said, "He Sen has committed countless evils. As a constable, who else should I arrest if not him? Since the higher-ups of Loyalty Hall want to see me, then let's meet. It's bound to happen sooner or later."

He felt no fear about this.

Wang Changhai said anxiously, "What's there to see? Your sister is worried to death and insisted I find a way, but what can I do? That's why I brought all the brothers. They'll follow you during this time to prevent the gang from acting desperately and ambushing you."

Lin Fan smiled.

"Ambush me?"

"Hall Master, if they had the ability to ambush me, I'd respect them more."

He had already prepared himself to face the higher-ups of Loyalty Hall directly.

Wang Changhai blinked, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Can you listen to the Hall Master and be steady?"

"Hall Master, I appreciate your good intentions. Since they want to see me, let's meet. Come on, it's not like I have anything to do right now. Let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves."

Lin Fan was fearless.

He wanted to confront those guys from Loyalty Hall head-on.

"Hey, hey, wait, wait."

Wang Changhai stomped his feet anxiously and quickly followed.
