21 What happened to the Chinese
At this time, Fei Volli and the others were still discussing how to deal with this matter.
Everyone is a scene person, not a green-skinned gangster in the market who takes a knife if he disagrees.
Since the patrol house in the public concession has arrested people on the grounds of "human trafficking", no matter how ridiculous the excuses of the other party are, the solution to the problem needs to be solved according to the procedure.
The patrol house in the public concession should then hand over the prisoners to the public trial hall.
In the public trial hall, the patrol room will provide evidence, and the defender designated as the suspect will make a complaint to refute it.
The jury will give a reference based on the confrontation between the two parties.
The judge makes his decision based on his own judgment and the jury's opinion.
It sounds like the perfect process to protect both the victim and the suspect.
But no matter how good the scriptures are, they can be read crooked by monks with crooked mouths.
What's more, because of the decline of the Qing court, the Chinese in this era are not hard in front of foreigners.
There are many contradictions between China and foreign countries, and foreigners only go to their own countries to implement and deal with them after breaking the law, doesn't this mean that there is no punishment? And if the Chinese provoke foreigners, it will be terrible.
After coming and going, the public trial hall did not have a high status in the hearts of the people, and several judges and servants had to get by when they encountered things.
Until the rise of Han Huaiyi, plus Guan Zhizhi's head iron.
With the support of the French Concession, the Public Trial Hall was tougher against the British.
But even so, isn't Evans still okay? Change to a Chinese to try the chins of foreigners in the British Concession, foreigners can be endless!
Semyon's thinking was relatively straightforward, he said: "I think I went directly to arrest Evans, shouldn't he still be in prison?" When the time comes, it will be up to the British to say so. ”
Melo naturally saw the problem more deeply than him, and Melo said: "Capturing Evans won't solve the problem of that Chinese woman, these are two things. ”
Boseman also added: "Besides, Devemon must be able to find all kinds of reasons to exonerate Evans." And if we use force against their law enforcement forces over there, we will be justified. ”
"That's the case, the current situation can only be that the public trial hall immediately send a servant to raise the prisoner. Then in court they refuted their absurdity. Fevoli said.
His subtext was that the widow of the Chinese official had been arrested.
Merlot continued his words: "It is better for a person to be in the court than to be convicted in the patrol room, and we all know how a group of Chinese women can affect their reputation after being tortured overnight in the patrol room. ”
At this moment, Xiang Shuai and Yuan Weiting arrived, and Xiang Shuai also agreed with Merlot's proposition after listening to it.
He expressed his opinion to Guan Zhizhi: "This matter is sooner rather than later, you immediately go and rescue them in the name of arraignment, and then find a way to collect evidence to refute Evans's behavior is not valid, and then question the legitimacy of his law enforcement on this basis." ”
"The French Concession will immediately pursue the absurd issue of his punishment and reinstatement." Fevoli said.
Du Yuesheng, who followed Huang Jinrong on the side, saw that the big men came up with the solution to the problem in a few words, and the first core content was not to let the widows of the officials spend the night in the patrol room full of men.
As a result, this kid thought that if Mr. Han knew, he would definitely not handle it so softly...
Since this is the case, Guan Zhizhi immediately returned to the public trial hall at the intersection of Zhejiang Road and Qipu Road, accepted Ah Song's report, and then personally led the servants to the public concession dignitaries.
It was already eleven o'clock at night.
Evans was taken aback when Guan Zhizhi came violently, he did not expect the Chinese to arrive at this time.
The procedures are lawful, reasonable and tough.
The Annan patrol led by Evans did not want to stop it at first, but Guan Yiyi blocked Evans with a word, and he sternly warned him: "Mr. Evans, if you block the arraignment of criminals in the public trial hall, then you are breaking the existing agreement between China and foreign countries!" Please think about it, your last time is not in the past! ”
The last time Evans was judged was the Guan Zhi Buddha.
Evans was very angry, but he really didn't dare to mess around with the procedure, so he had to shout: "I'll keep an eye on this!" ”
You're a fart, Guan Zhi's words are concise: "Deliver someone immediately." ”
Judges are people who can control their emotions well and analyze problems rationally.
However, when Guan Zhizhi saw the Li Huang clan that was taken out, he also blew up.
Because Li Huang's cheeks were swollen after being beaten, he couldn't see in one eye, and when he came out, Li Huang was still shouting in panic: "I am a human trafficker, I am a human trafficker, I am guilty... ”
Guan Zhizhi suddenly became furious: "Evans, who gave you the power to beat the Chinese!" ”
Evans looked at him with a smile: "Isn't it normal for the patrol room to catch a criminal and give him some bitterness?" ”
"You don't have that power! I will definitely pursue your actions! ”
Mu Tusheng sneered on the side: "Guan Zhizhi, we have all heard it, the prisoner himself admitted to human trafficking!" ”
"I hope you will insist on saying that in court." Guan Zhizhi didn't want to talk nonsense with these scumbags, and he motioned for these women to be taken away.
At this time, Evans came up with another sentence.
This goods was probably taken away by Guan Zhizhi on the spot, and he felt faceless, so he said meanly: "Okay, then how about I wait for you to sentence me again?" ”
Hearing this, Guan Zhizhi turned back sharply: "Are you provoking the dignity of the public trial hall established according to the regulations of the pidgin official trial?" ”
His words were not easy to answer, Mu Tusheng hurriedly stopped Evans, who was about to say something, and waved his hand to Guan Zhizhi: "What nonsense are you talking about here after getting the prisoner, I ask you to leave the public concession immediately!" ”
His attitude is simply contemptuous of people.
Guan Zhizhi clenched his fists and said word by word: "The court will start at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you must all be present, if you are absent, it means that you will automatically give up correcting the behavior of the Chinese woman!" ”
Evans laughed: "Don't worry, we'll go, I want to see the consequences of beating a Chinese widow." ”
Then he asked Mu Tusheng: "Is there any trouble in beating the Chinese?" ”
Mu Tusheng shrugged: "There should be no trouble, won't you pay the compensation after we enter Beijing?" ”
Everyone was communicating in English, and when the two of them spoke, those Annan patrols laughed.
The servants around Guan Zhizhi were angry, and Guan Zhizhi's hands and feet were actually trembling with anger, but he still desperately suppressed his impulse, and he turned around and left.
Evans actually caught up and asked: "Why don't you answer my question, what's wrong with beating the Chinese, is there any trouble?" ”
