The Dragon Boat Festival is the plum rain, the rain is dripping, the sky becomes dim, and the people under this rain cloud feel depressed and depressed. According to a notice issued by the Shanghai municipal government, the number of local residents and floating population in Shanghai reached 1.5 million last year. These 1.5 million people are all flooded in the narrow area of the Chinese and concession areas, which makes the already congested streets even more cramped; Housing prices have also risen again, ten years ago, a pavilion lived in a room, the monthly rent was 4 yuan, now a pavilion lives in a family, the monthly rent is 10 yuan.

In the surging crowd of Zhabei Railway Station, Chen Zhenxian, a waiter of the Ministry of Agriculture in a dress, wiped his sweat while closely following Tao Chengzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, who strode forward in the crowd. As a technician, he is not comparable to Tao Chengzhang, who often goes deep into the countryside to investigate in person. Now, although most of his luggage is held by the secretary, he still can't catch up with Tao Chengzhang, who is carrying thirty or forty pounds of luggage.

According to the travel practice of the Ministry of Agriculture, all trains and ships sit in the third class, and this Beijing to Shanghai sat all the way, not to mention eating soot, and was sleepy and thirsty. In a trance, Chen Zhenxian saw a big flag with the word "ice" hanging high on the side of the square, so he pointed weakly at the secretary behind him with a weak hand, and muttered a voice that only he could hear: "The inn turns, let's ......", and then walked over and grabbed a can of iced Wang Laoji herbal tea.

A can of herbal tea and a bowl of sour plum soup are still not enough, and then I see that there is chilled mung bean soup on the price list. Chen Zhen, who could no longer find Tao Chengzhang in the crowd, glanced at the secretary behind him and said, "Let's have another bowl of ice mung beans." Then he sat down at the back of the shop. There was a row of tables and chairs that were clearly selling food.

"Invoices... Invoice... Invoice... The invoice ...... "After eating the chilled mung beans in two bites, it was time to pay at the cupboard." A woman holding a child came out of nowhere, she silently read a few words of invoices in her mouth, and then asked Chen Zhenxian: "Xisang, do you want an invoice?" Want an invoice? If it is fake, it will be fined 10 for one false. ”

"Go! Go! Get out of the way. it! The shopkeeper of the commissary was a fierce-looking, well-dressed man, and the fierceness on his face scared the woman away.

The square was full of people, and Chen Zhenxian didn't hear what the woman was calling at all, so he asked curiously, "Boss." What is she talking about? ”

"What are you doing? Those who sell fake invoices are all social moths, crazy for money, and they are not afraid of being caught and killed by the tax police. The fierce boss was kind to Chen Zhenxian, and after he finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "Mr. is from the yamen, right?" ”

"Oh... Where did the boss see that we were from the yamen? "Among the ministries under the Prime Minister's Office, officials from the Ministry of Agriculture are the least pompous, and they have to wear straw sandals and torn clothes when they go deep into the countryside. In the prosperous place of Shanghai, Chen Zhenxian, who was dressed in a cheap dress, didn't know where he had leaked at all.

"Hehe...... the boss smiled proudly and said the reason: "When the adults paid just now." The belt around his waist is military," he immediately ripped off his clothes, and the belt around his waist was also a military belt, and said with a smile: "Only the yamen and the army dare to use this kind of belt." Otherwise, it will be misappropriation of official property and will be imprisoned. My lord, Svenwen, it can't be in the army, right? ”

"Yo." The officials of the new dynasty never wore Western clothes, and Chen Zhenxian's previous Western clothes and belts did not know where to throw them. When I left the house, I had no choice but to tie a military belt, and I didn't want to expose the bottom of such a belt. He laughed, "I'm not an adult. Boss, how can you have it, aren't you afraid of going to jail? ”

"I ......" the boss laughed, he patted one of his legs, and said quite arrogantly, "Allah is a disabled soldier, but his luck is too bad, otherwise he will enter the Taimiao Temple to enjoy the incense forever, how can he still sell groceries here." ”

It was actually a disabled soldier, Chen Zhenxian's eyes looked at the entire small shop through the glass cabinet from the boss's face, and looked at the cabinet business selling groceries in the square on the other side was very busy, and couldn't help but say: "The business here is not too good, it's really making money every day!" ”

"That's also rewarded by the emperor and the prime minister." The boss's face was bright, he patted the big freezer next to the cabinet, and pointed to the roaring diesel generator in the corner of the food stall, "Ala's hometown is in Shanghai, otherwise he will go to the countryside to drive a big tractor and run a rice mill." Shanghai is full of bad gentry and poor people, and there are no people in this place to talk, it's really boring......"

The values of veterans made Chen Zhenxian quite difficult to understand, and he was about to say something and didn't want the secretary to finish eating, so he paid for two packs of good cigarettes, threw one to the boss, and left. Under the leadership of the secretary, the two of them changed trams and buses all the way upside down, and they were already tired when they arrived at the city government guest house, but when they saw that Tao Chengzhang was not there, they fell into bed and woke up at dinner.

"The priest has worked hard today." Tao Chengzhang, who had been running outside for a day, was still in good spirits, but Chen Zhenxian, who had slept all afternoon, looked depressed, and Tao Chengzhang, who knew his subordinates, was rarely kind.

"How can any adult be happy." Chen Zhenxian was a little embarrassed, he quickly changed the topic and asked, "The case will be tried tomorrow, what is the situation now?" ”

"How's it going? The Prime Minister's Office of this dynasty has never interfered with the trial of Dali Temple, I first went to the Inspectorate in the afternoon to meet the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi Xu Bosun Xu, and also went to the city government, and finally went to the ...... of Hatuohua Law Firm, anyway, I ran to the place where I should go, everyone was not sure about the case, and the foreign lawyer also said that the lawyer invited by the Constitutional Protector Party was not easy to deal with, and the shape was not optimistic. Speaking of the case, Tao Chengzhang had a worried face.

"Ahh Xu Bosun, Lord Xu also came to Shanghai? Chen Zhenxian was very surprised, the Inspectorate is a confidential department of the imperial court, Xu Xilin's official residence is a product, and he is at the same level as the prime minister, sitting in the center, and he doesn't want to come to Shanghai.

"Not only Lord Xu is here, but Xu Jingren, the secretary of Dali Temple, is also here." Tao Chengzhang said, "Now hundreds of millions of people all over the world are staring at this case. If we win, then the land reform is logical, and if we lose, then things will be in trouble. ”

Tao Chengzhang said this, his heart is better, this land reform case really can't be delayed for a long time, and now the land price is still low. Fertilizer has not been used before, but it has been allocated to various places this spring. Once the effect of chemical fertilizer is revealed, the price of land will rise even more; And then there's the machinery like walk-behind tractors. In the past, a family planted twenty or thirty acres of land, but if agricultural machinery was used, those landlords could hire people to plant their own, tractors, harvesters, and pumps, which could completely replace labor. If this happens, the livelihood of sharecroppers will be even more urgent, and there may be no turning point for them.

"My lord, who is the judge this time? It won't be like last year's Cai Yin, right? Chen Zhenxian didn't think about the consequences of losing the lawsuit, but he was afraid that the government would be fooled by the Tingwei Mansion again this time. When the case is corrected after the trial, the suspect has already run away.

"I heard Lord Xu say that he originally wanted to use Huang Qinglan, the former secretary of Dali Temple in Shanghai, but Huang Qinglan was from Nanyang College, and he was worried that he would be dissatisfied with Zhang Yuanji's imprisonment, so he used a judge named Zhang Hongding." Tao Chengzhang said.

"Zhang Hongding?" Chen Zhen read the name first and found that he had never heard of it at all.

"Well, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province, Shenwu graduated from the law department of Meiji University in Tokyo three years ago. After returning to China, he did not go to the capital to take the exam, but served as a law teacher at Jianghuai University in Anhui. Last year, he served as the secretary of Dali Temple in Hankou and sentenced several difficult cases, and was known as Zhang Qingtian at the time. Tao Chengzhang introduced.

"So he's going to enforce the law impartially?" Chen Zhen said first. I can't think of whether such a judge would be good or bad for the government.

"The Security Bureau told me that this man was very close to Sun Dang when he was in Tokyo. But he didn't join the alliance......" Tao Chengzhang said.

"Sun Dang?" Chen Zhenxian suddenly sweated, and said anxiously: "If he is Sun Wen's henchman." Then there is a good chance that this case ......"

"Just suspicions, but no evidence. Who is sent by Dali Temple to be the chief judge, the government does not say that it cannot interfere, even if it can interfere, otherwise those landlords can obey the judgment of the case? Tao Chengzhang's brows were also tightened. He was fully aware of the importance of judges in the adjudication of cases. In his opinion, judicial independence is simply the establishment of a memorial arch, if anyone is not satisfied, the revival army will kill the past, why bother to fight a lawsuit with them?

What is righteousness, righteousness is the barrel of a cannon, and whoever has a thick barrel of cannon has righteousness. Not convinced, hum! Who in the current American Turks dares to say that they are not convinced? There is also the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which killed so many people during the Dingge, and a few people dared to disagree with it for more than 200 years. Nine out of ten Chinese people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they are deeply servile and do not know it. It has only been four years since the founding of the country, and if you want to clean up the filth of the previous dynasty, can it be solved by not killing people? After killing these millions of landlords, confiscating all their family property, and not only did the peasants get their land, but also the household department had money, what the best of both worlds, and now they are fighting a lawsuit, and once they lose, the government will be disgraced, and it will simply kill itself.

muttering in his heart that the one in Yin'an Hall was wrong, Tao Chengzhang, who had no intention of eating, threw his chopsticks back to the room without picking up a few bites. In the city government guest house, the government standard meal is eaten, and in the five-story teahouse on the fourth road in the Shanghai Concession, the backbone of the Constitutional Protector Party is faced with a table full of delicacies but has no intention of getting into the house. These people held the constitution in their arms and listened to the sermons of Lin Changmin, head of the party's propaganda department.

“…… Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the foundation of the West better than East Asia and stronger than the world. The progress of history is inviolable to anyone! What is the progress of history, that is, the progress of production and the progress of efficiency. Compared with Western countries, China does not have too few people, but too many people. The arable land of the rice country far exceeds that of our country, but the population of the rice country is less than 10,000. The reason why our country is poor and backward, and why there is a rebellion of bandits in Hong Yang, is all due to the lack of land and the large number of people.

Today, the princes of the court do not try their best to control the population, but instead change the method of equalizing land rights, so how is it different from the Sun Party? This is against the tide of history! This is against the Constitution! This is destined to be thrown into the garbage heap of history, leaving a stench for 10,000 years! ”

Lin Changmin stood on the stage on the second floor, and nearly 1,000 party members could see his excited expression when he gave a speech and hear his voice full of justice. He had only finished his sentence for ten thousand years, and the tide of applause sounded like thunder, and the five floors were full of applause.

"At a time when the war in Europe is in full swing, the government has not made a truce with Russia, in a vain attempt to blackmail some benefits. It is precisely for this reason that all European countries, fearing the vacillation of our country, unanimously support the current government and land reform. All the monarchs must see this clearly, and if they don't see this clearly, they really think that all countries support him Yang Jingcheng. No! It is because they want our country's support and wartime materials that they disregard justice and support land reform. Once the European war is over, it is natural that there will be people who speak from the standpoint of justice. (Applause.)

Isn't that the case with the people of the United States? The U.S. government has privately considered the confiscation of the property of the propertied to be unjust. No matter how great it may be in name, to seize the people's wealth is to seize the people's wealth. No matter how many people raise their hands in the Inspectorate, no matter how many movies the Film Bureau makes. None of that can change this fact! (Loud applause)

The land reform yamen talked about the famine, which is even more reversible. Are we the cause of the famine? Since it wasn't made by us, what's wrong with us taking the opportunity to reclaim the land? Land prices always go up and down. Business has always been profitable. Why can't the land that was previously received at a low price be sold at a higher price now? Compensate with the purchase price of the land price, how can any country in the world have such a business? (Loud applause)"

Liang Qichao used to give speeches on stage, but when he was tired, the court would be held tomorrow, in order to improve the morale of the army, Liang Qichao was going to take the stage, but he didn't want to catch a cold last night, so he could only Lin Changmin come to power. Liang Qichao's speech is often reasoning. Lin Changmin's speech is better than momentum, and now this paragraph is down, and the effect is surprisingly good.

"Zong Meng said this is really good. If you can say the same thing at the gate of Dali Temple tomorrow, it will be ...... "The momentum of the Constitutional Protector Party is getting bigger and bigger, and Tang Hualong admires Liang Qichao's brain more and more. Now that everyone is in an extremely safe concession, and the battlefield is also chosen in the Shanghai County Government near the concession, and they have also taken the weakness of the Yin'an Palace, and they are exercising justice and justice, there is really nothing better than this.

"Don't take it lightly." The high-spirited Liang Qichao removed the jade hand of the Oiran Jade Moon Immortal beside him from his forehead. Qingqing coughed twice and said, "The Yang family has always been too calculating, if he really loses the lawsuit, he will not be willing to accept it." There will definitely be something to follow. ”

"Could it be that he will ......," Li Jingfang, who was at the same table, said dumbly. The Li family has tens of thousands of acres of land in Hefei, but because they were not bought at the regular price, the land reform yamen only gave a 10% land price. It should have been fate. He didn't want the Constitutional Protector Party to rise quietly, so he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver. Bought a party secretary dangdang.

"If he would be like this," Tang Hualong made a head-killing gesture. Then he affirmed: "That's self-destruction." Although Yang Jingcheng doesn't cherish his reputation, he has always been very measured, and the Qiu Ba under his hands have no offense against Minqiu, so he can be regarded as a righteous teacher. Besides, if he did so, what would the rest of the world think of him? The European war will be fought one day, and at that time, foreigners will no longer hold him, how long can he stay on stage? ”

"By the way, I heard that ......" After Tang Hualong finished speaking, Lin Sen suddenly mentioned something, "I heard that this Yang actually became his wife who died last month......

"Giggle......" accompanied the guests, and the Oiran Yuyue Immortal, who was looking left and right, couldn't help but say: "This lord, the prime minister is not dead to the evil wife, but to die in the concubine's room." Poor thing! I want to save the heroes of Shanghai Beach back then, and after only a few years of love, I was broken up by God, I really pity us hard-working women......"

"According to investigation, it was the concubine named Han Xianfeng who died." Shao Piaoping, the chief writer of the party newspaper of the Constitutional Protection Party, said that he is a reporter and the most well-informed, "I heard that he died in childbirth, but he gave birth to two sons to Yang Jingcheng." ”

"Having two sons at once?" Xu Fusu was very surprised, he gave birth to several daughters to have such a precious son, "This is enough to lose a life." ”

"Alright. Don't talk about so much rumors, the land reform compensation case is the foundation of our party's foothold in the political circles; If you win, then you will be members of the House of Suspicions in two years, if you lose, then not to mention that you will be cold and lonely for a lifetime, and you will ignore the dead dogs, will Yang Jingcheng let everyone go? Liang Qichao watched the discussion become more and more topical, and hurriedly interrupted. After he said this, he looked at the female gentleman who was sitting in the banquet and called the bureau, and Tang Jue, who understood his thoughts, hurriedly sent these ** down.

"The court will start at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and we must find more people to make some noise." When the ** was gone, Liang Qichao said again: "There are also reporters from major newspapers, all of them have to invite me over, there are more cameras, and it is best to find a film company to record the court hearing." What the lawyer says, what the witnesses say, and what the judge says must be well recorded, and if the judge is biased in favor of the government, then the matter will be more fun. ”

"Understood!" Lin Sen, who was in charge of the operation, said;

"Understood!" Shao Piaoping, who was in charge of publicity and greeting, said;

"Understood!" Xu Fusu, who is responsible for convening and agitating the true and false masses, said

At 9:30 a.m. the next day, Tao Chengzhang and others, who rushed to the Dali Temple in Shanghai, found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as they entered the city, although the county seat in Shanghai demolished the city wall and renovated the streets in the first year of Shenwu, but now the county seat is still overcrowded. The pedestrians looked organized—all dressed in white suits, holding constitutions, and many with crosses on their chests.

"My lord, many landlords are afraid of government ......, so many of them have become Christians." Du Yuesheng, who accompanied Tao Chengzhang, said from the Shanghai Security Bureau.

"Initiation?" Tao Chengzhang smiled disdainfully, "If you join the sect government, you can't control them?" It's really a bunch of bad gentlemen who are all over the place. ”

"My lord, they are afraid that if the government comes hard, it will arouse public opinion condemnation in various countries." Du Yuesheng disbanded again, "I don't know who paid attention to such a lack of morality." ”

"The time is almost up, how far is it, is there any other way?" Chen Zhenxian ignored those pseudo-sectarians, and just looked at the time.

"Yes." Du Yuesheng was very familiar with all parts of Shanghai, and as he spoke, he took them to a small road, and they arrived at Dali Temple after seven or eight turns.

Ignoring the landlord in a white suit blocked at the entrance of Dali Temple, Tao Chengzhang and others were brought into the trial hall by the bailiff when they showed their official cards.

"After review, the plaintiff and defendant's appearance in court meet the requirements of law and may participate in the trial activities of this case.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 45 of the "Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China," the administrative trial court of Dali Temple in Shanghai Special City today openly tried the case of plaintiffs Tang Hengxu, Wang Guofan, Guan Hengqi, Zhang Zhaoyuan, Wang Jiarui, Zhou Junlie, and Sun Quan......fang against the defendants Shanghai Special Municipal Government and Shanghai Special City Land Reform Office for compensation for cultivated land expropriation in accordance with the law.

The composition of the collegial panel is now announced: Zhang Hongding, president of the administrative trial court, is the presiding judge, and the collegial panel composed of judges Huang Qinglan and Xu Weizhen applies the ordinary procedures to conduct the trial, and the clerk Wang Zhennan serves as the recorder of the case.

The temple received plaintiffs Tang Hengxu, Wang Guofan, Guan Hengqi, Zhang Zhaoyuan, Wang Jiarui, Zhou Junlie, and Sun Quanfang...... The case was filed within the statutory time limit, and a notice of acceptance of the case, a notice of rights and obligations, and instructions for presenting evidence were sent to the plaintiff;

A notice to respond, a copy of the complaint, a notice of rights and obligations, and instructions for presenting evidence were sent to the defendants, the Shanghai Special Municipal Government and the Shanghai Special Municipal Government and the Shanghai Special Municipal Land Reform Office.

Since the Shanghai Special City Farmers' Association has a legal interest in the specific administrative act being sued in this case, the temple notifies the association to participate in the litigation of this case as a third party in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of the Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China. A notice of participation in the proceedings, a copy of the complaint, a notice of rights and obligations, and instructions for presenting evidence were sent to the association.

The above-mentioned litigation documents have already set out the litigation rights enjoyed by the parties to the administrative litigation and the litigation obligations to be performed in the course of the administrative litigation, and the parties have the right to apply for recusal in accordance with Article 47 of the Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China. The so-called application for recusal means that if a party believes that a member of the collegial panel or a clerk serving as a clerk of the court's records has an interest or other relationship with the case that might affect the fairness of the trial, it has the right to apply for the recusal of the above-mentioned person and not to participate in the trial of the case.

Did the plaintiff apply for recusal? ”

"No application!" The plaintiffs replied in unison. These landlords, dressed in white suits and with crosses on their chests, were so numerous that the courtroom emptied most of the seats for spectators, and even then, the other side was still densely packed. As soon as their voices came out, the entire courtroom buzzed.

The plaintiff is the defendant after answering. When the presiding judge asked whether he would apply for recusal, Fei Yugui, the legal representative of the Shanghai listed government, and the chief official of the Shanghai Land Reform Yamen glanced at each other, and Fei Yugui glanced at the judge Huang Qinglan again, shook his head and said, "No application!" ”

The voices of the two were mixed with female voices, and then the reporters knew that the chief official of the land reform yamen was really a woman, so a magnesium light flashed, and the two were immediately photographed by the reporters.

"Does the third party apply for recusal?" The presiding judge asked the Shanghai Peasant Association again, and the representative of the peasant association, who looked honest and dressed in blue shirts and black pants, also replied: "No!" ”

Zhang Hongding was not affected by the spotlight, his face was grim under his black gauze hat, and he continued to say in accordance with the procedure: "In accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China, Dali Temple hears administrative cases ......" (to be continued......
