Chapter 20: The Registrar Hears Cases
"County Magistrate Zhou, regarding the matter of the prisoner Hu Changqing, now I have the secretary of the 500 army in charge, if you want to know any situation, you can ask the secretary general about the situation after dinner." Gao Quan pushed everything on Secretary Wu's head with a single sentence, and he successfully played a tactic of kicking the ball.
"Oh, Secretary Wu, how is Hu Changqing's situation?" Originally, Zhou Qiulin planned to ask him where he was going to take Hu Changqing away, but he felt that he asked so directly when they met for the first time, and it was inevitable that he would be suspected of not saving face for the other party, so he changed his questioning method. The secretary wore a major general's collar badge on his collar, and as long as he was a general, the county magistrate could not afford to offend, let alone the general of the local garrison of 500 troops.
"Hu Changqing? I am still investigating this person, so it is inconvenient to tell you the specific situation. When the secretary drank rice wine just now, he was still in high spirits, and when he mentioned Hu Changqing, his face suddenly fell, and his tone of voice became hard, "What?" Does County Magistrate Zhou have anything to do with Hu Changqing? "In the end, it was the secretary general of the party department, and as soon as he turned his face, he interrogated the county magistrate.
"Well, I have nothing to do with Hu Changqing. This person is under the rule of this county, and I heard that he had a misunderstanding with your department, and I would like to ask about the situation. Under the stern gaze of the secretary general, Zhou Qiulin's head was sweating. With this person, why is he so panicked?
"No relationship is best! This person has been implicated in a number of cases, and this Registrar is investigating thoroughly. If there are any clues, County Magistrate Zhou and Mayor Yang can report it directly to me. After Leng Bingbing said this, Secretary Wu picked up the chopsticks and started eating! There are not many opportunities to meet the military seat, and Wu Guangxing does not want to let go of this good opportunity to improve his life.
It is said that today's dishes are also very ordinary, but it is still the same sentence, it is a time of war! In an era when all kinds of daily necessities were very scarce, even high-ranking military officials like Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing could not eat anything good at once.
The Nationalist Government advocated frugality, and Gao Quan, Wu Guangxing, and Xie Zhongming vigorously supported the central authorities' policy decisions and practiced what they preached, vigorously promoting the style of diligence and thrift among the 500 Army. Therefore, it is rare to have six dishes in a meal like this, and four of them are meat dishes, which is not because Gao Quan deliberately neglected customers, but because the general environment at that time was like this.
Gao Quan rarely treats guests in normal times, but it is rare to meet him this time, and several officers of the 500 Army present here are all open and eat hard! Fortunately, the secretary has been prepared for this for a long time, although the variety of dishes is small, the amount is sufficient, and everything is prepared with backup. In this way, each dish was served twice before the diners here were satisfied.
The most depressed people during the banquet were Zhou Qiulin and Yang Naiwen. These two brought all the gifts and came to Commander Gao to say good things, preparing to take Hu Changqing back. At the very least, we must get accurate information from Gao Quan, and know how the 500 Army is going to treat Hu Changqing. As a result, Gao Quan did not express his position on this matter from beginning to end, but at dinner, Secretary Wu became the person in charge of Hu Changqing's case.
County Magistrate Zhou didn't know what Wu Guangxing's temper was, he just knew that the other party was the party secretary of the 500 Army, which was introduced to them by Gao Quan before the banquet began. Wu Guangxing, the secretary general of the party department, is not clear about what the county magistrate Zhou is responsible for, but since he is a county magistrate appointed by the national government, he naturally knows the existence of the party department, and his county has a county party department, a provincial party department in the province, and a central party department in the central government.
Zhou Qiulin was thinking nonsense here, Yang Naiwen was unwilling, and he was most involved in the Hu Qingshan incident, that is, he led the battalion commander Cheng to arrest Hu Changqing. The two of them were all absent-minded, and their thoughts slipped during the meal, and they didn't eat much in a daze, and the feast was over.
After the meal, Commander Gao still didn't talk about Hu Changqing's case with the two, but just asked the two about the customs, products and geography of Xiushui County. After these two people patiently introduced Commander Gao for an hour, they finally couldn't sit still! Secretary Wu has shirked the case and left, why are they still sitting here stupidly? So, the two local officials gave up their hands, and under the pretext that they were busy with official business, they didn't dare to disturb Commander Gao too much and left. Since the two of them couldn't get out of the people, they had to wait for Commander Sun to come.
Commander Sun didn't wait, but waited for Secretary Wu to start the trial.
Wu Guangxing read all the files of Hu Qingshan's case and thought that he had a deep understanding of Hu Qingshan and his person. Regarding the many crimes committed by Hu Qingshan in the file, the secretary general sent people to investigate each item and interviewed the victims mentioned in the case one by one. Of course, many victims are unfounded, but just the information provided by some of the victims is enough to sentence Hu Changqing to a felony!
Based on this, Secretary Wu came to the conclusion that this Hu Changqing is indeed a heinous criminal who has done great harm to social order, has great public anger, and has a very bad impact! As a result, Secretary Wu Guangxing decided that there is no need to investigate Hu Changqing's case again, and it can be tried directly!
On this day, the weather was clear, cloudless, and there was a rising morning sun hanging in the blue sky, which corresponded to the poem of removing the dark clouds and seeing the blue sky, indicating that today is a good day to avenge the people.
"Take the criminal Hu Changqing!" The secretary was dressed in a military uniform and sat in the middle of the conference room of the 500th Army. Gao Quan, Qian Sixi, Zheng Guotai, Jin Feilong, Hong Yingying, and others sat in the gallery to observe the trial of the case, and Tang Wenjuan was a special correspondent of the provisional military court.
In a short time, Hu Changqing was escorted into the trial court by four armed soldiers. Now Hu Changqing is no longer the arrogant and domineering rich businessman and the hooligan bully in the fish and meat township, his beautiful middle head has been shaved into a bald scoop, his hands and feet have been handcuffed and shackled, and his ruddy and full little face has become a thin and pale face, and even wrinkles can be seen on his face, his eyes are hollow, his cheekbones are high, and he doesn't know what kind of crime this eldest young master has suffered in the past two days.
"Smack!" The presiding judge, Wu Guangxing, slapped the shocked wood, "Name of the criminal!" ”
"Hu Changqing."
"Let me ask you, robbed Liang Cuihua in Liang Village, and instructed thugs to injure Liang Cuihua's family of five, but what did you do?"
"Yes." Hu Changqing has nothing to deny about this, if he hadn't committed this incident, could he have been caught here? "But my lord, sir, although I arrested Liang Cuihua to my house, I didn't do anything other bad! I am an attempted crime, not a felony! Please, sir, be clear! ”
"Shut up! If I don't ask you, I don't have to open my mouth! The presiding judge sank his face and slapped the shocked wood again. Wu Guangxing has received many years of orthodox education, and he attaches great importance to the rules, and the distinction between good and evil is extremely clear. I hate Hu Qingshan, a scumbag who brutalizes civilians and harms the township, but it is very suitable for him to be the presiding judge.
