341. An accident occurred
Did Bai Shujie really settle down during the battle? Of course not!
Before the raid on the two county towns of Raoyang and Anping, the possible reinforcements were analyzed. Now that the power has been sent out for three days, those who should know and those who shouldn't know should know should know about Xu Erhei's destruction and the change of ownership of the two county seats.
However, there was a calm outside, and everyone turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to it. This doesn't make sense!
For things that don't conform to common sense, Bai Shujie has always not taken it lightly. Because of this, he will confine himself and carefully scrutinize the reactions and actions that should be done in all aspects.
After a night of repeated thinking, he had figured out the contingency measures, and naturally he was released from his confinement. At this time, he was hidden in civilian clothes among the people in the audience.
Zhao Meiyan took the stage from behind, which immediately made people's eyes shine, and Bai Shujie was naturally surprised.
I saw that she was dressed from head to toe, which was the unique style of summer clothes of the Rehe Front! Especially with leggings, an armed belt around his waist, and a Browning pistol hanging on his right, he looks even more heroic. The armband on the left arm, "Rehe Front Army, Independent Regiment" in blue on a white background, represents a certain deep meaning.
A man, four women, and five young men came up later, all holding a large stack of materials. One of the men and one woman sat down on the left and right of Zhao Meiyan, and the other three women sat on the long table on the side, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all ready.
After taking a closer look at the crowd in the audience, Zhao Meiyan said: "Fellow villagers: Rao'an and Rao'an counties set up a special court to openly try the case of the bandit group headed by Xu Erhei, and I was invited to serve as the chief judge. The basis for this trial is the special ordinance issued by the anti-Japanese government of the two counties. In the 5,000-year-old history of Chinese civilization, it has always emphasized that those who kill will die, and those who injure others will be punished. β
"According to the special temporary decree, the main grounds for this trial of the members of the bandit group are as follows: First, those who harm the lives of others and bear blood debts shall be executed; Second, those who insult women and occupy the wives and daughters of others shall be sentenced to death; Third, those who commit treason to the enemy and become traitors will be executed! For other crimes, if the circumstances are heinous, the death penalty shall be carried out; Then, depending on the severity of the circumstances, he was sentenced to three to ten years in prison. Bringing people to commit a crimeβ"
"Wait!"
At this moment, a guy in a top hat in the crowd shouted, "Who are you?" Who gave you the right to set up a private court to try the soldiers of the national army? β
"Is it finally here?" Bai Shujie in the audience muttered secretly in his heart: "If you don't come to martial arts, do you come to write?" β
"Who we're - who you don't have the right to know!" Zhao Meiyan almost said her identity: "We have a public trial here, what is a private court?" The prisoners in custody are all bandits, where are the soldiers of the national army? Who are you, weishenme is talking nonsense here? Roaring court, there is contempt of court, I hope you respect yourself! β
The guy in the top hat shouted loudly: "The contemptible people are chaired by Huang Ying, the Executive Yuan's Committee for the Consolidation of Government Affairs in Pingping, and Song Zheyuan is sent to stop your illegal torture. At the same time, your illegal county government organization will be dissolved and placed under the direct leadership of the Peaceful Government Affairs Consolidation Committee. β
Zhao Meiyan said coldly: "We have passed the ** election and justifiably served the rights given by the people, what is illegal?" It is already a great disrespect for you to trespass into the courtroom without permission. Law enforcement officer, blast this person out of the county seat, and never be allowed to step into the two cities of Rao'an for half a step! β
Shang Ziyi waved his hand when he heard this, and two heavily armed warriors rushed into the crowd and dragged the guy out. Bai Shujie only saw clearly at this time that it turned out to be a guy in his fifties.
Look at his lean and dry face, a little old man with triangular eyes, he doesn't have much strength but a good voice. While struggling, he shouted: "Who gave you the courage to dare to be rude to the superior officials!" β
"It is the right given by our people, and of course it is also the courage given by our people!" Bai Shujie knew that if he didn't come out again, he wouldn't be able to finish this matter today: "What are you, shouting here?" Who gave you the guts? Huang Yin? Song Zheyuan? You tell me clearly, where is it illegal for our anti-Japanese government? β
The little old man said in a loud voice, and he also said loudly: "The Tanggu Agreement clearly stipulates that there can be no words and deeds that stimulate Japanese people. Your blatant organization of an anti-Japanese government is a strategy to govern against the government! Not illegal, what else? β
"The Tanggu Agreement?" Bai Shujie sneered and said: "All of us here know that the Tanggu Agreement clearly stipulates that Dongyang Dwarf should compensate for the huge losses of Rehe Province, and is currently compensating in batches. What bullshit stimulates speech, illegal organization? Anyone who kills little devils is legal! β
"What you said was done by the Rehe rebels, and the government will not recognize it! This is Chairman Chiang's established national policy, and all our people should follow it as one. If you go against the will of the leader and set up an illegal prefectural government without authorization, you are brazenly stimulating the Orientals and putting the country in a disadvantageous position. β
"Didn't Lao Tzu just follow the instructions of Chairman Bullshit today? Didn't you see Lao Tzu letting the little devil not kill, and suppressing the bandits in the back, isn't it just that you must first settle inside the outside? How did Lao Tzu get into a disadvantageous situation for the country? If you don't kill the bandits and bullies, how can Lao Tzu kill the little devils? β
Bai Shujie was angry, and his language became rude: "Old bastard, Lao Tzu asked you!" The martyrs of Rehe Province did not hesitate to sacrifice, and not only did not lose an inch of land, but also recovered Suizhong, Lingyuan, Chaoyang, and Fuxin, and they were rebels. Jiang ceded the three eastern provinces, the whole of Rehe and Shanghai to the enemy, is he, a traitor, legitimate? Have you asked the people of the whole country? Will the common people pay grain and taxes to feed you traitors? β
As soon as Bai Shujie said this, some young people in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "Good scolding!" Put this dog traitor on the stage, and try him first today! β
"Charge up! Charge it up! β
Seeing that Bai Shujie did not object, the two soldiers really dragged this old guy to the public trial table. The two fighters grabbed the old guy's arms and pulled them back, then aimed them at the knee joint.
Poof, the old guy is already kneeling on the stage!
With a "snap", Zhao Meiyan slapped on the table, and then shouted coquettishly: "Tell me honestly, how did you collude with little devils and betray the interests of the country!" How did you collude with Xu Erhei's gang of bandits and harm the people, say! β
What can the old guy say, he was going to come here to overturn the case, so the old god was watching the play below. In his opinion, as long as he moves out of the government, won't these mud-legged people be scared and scattered? I didn't expect this gang of mud legs to be bold enough to insult government officials! I really want to cry without tears, and I regret not being at the beginning.
"You're going to regret what you're doing!" The old guy kept repeating: "Hundreds of thousands of troops are behind you, and you will regret your actions!" β
Zhao Meiyan wanted to peel off his skin immediately for this kind of official in the southern government, but not today. So I don't want to waste time on this old guy, there are thousands of people waiting. Therefore, he shouted angrily: "The prisoner dies without repentance and is sentenced to 20 years in prison." Get aside! With Xu Erhei-"
The soldier on the public trial platform yelled at the temporary detention center behind: "Take Xu Erhei-"
Xu Erhei has been tied up with five flowers, and his heart has been tied into a dead knot, which is already ready to be escorted to the execution ground and executed. After coming to the stage, the two fighters also kicked him in the knee and honestly knelt on the ground.
Previously, after a thorough investigation, the bandits were divided into four groups to report and expose each other, and the evidence involved was one foot thick.
Zhao Meiyan outlined the important crimes again, and the audience was already excited. In the past few years, there have been too many people who have been harmed by Xu Erhei. Before Zhao Meiyan finished reading the materials, more than 30 fellow villagers had already rushed to the stage. One of the women held a child less than two years old, threw herself on Xu Erhei's body, biting and kicking.
waited for the villagers to vent almost before Zhao Meiyan announced the verdict loudly: "The bandit leader Xu Erhei is guilty of intentional homicide, robbery of other people's property, entrapment of anti-Japanese soldiers, and insulting women. When the public trial conference is over, they will be immediately tied to the execution ground and executed! β
At this time, Xu Erhei had already been bitten by the villagers, and his head was bleeding, and he was no longer human. Hearing the announcement of the immediate execution of the death sentence, he collapsed directly on the stage.
The subsequent trials were conducted in batches, with ten bandits brought in at a time. Zhao Meiyan learned about the interrogation methods in Rehe Province from Xiao Lamei, and also divided the ten prisoners into two groups to cross-examine each other. In order to seek leniency, the bandits told all the things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grain.
This kind of unique public trial, the villagers are as enthusiastic as watching a play. If some crimes involve their own family, they will be angry again.
After the bandits finished speaking, Zhao Meiyan pointed to the bandits one by one to ask the villagers for their opinions, how to sentence them, and improve the villagers' awareness of participation.
At first, the villagers were still a little scared and didn't dare to come forward to speak. But as the first bold young man took the lead in expressing his opinion, and Zuihou was adopted by Zhao Meiyan, the villagers believed that what Zhao Meiyan said was true, and their emotions were even higher.
When the tenth batch was interrogated, Zhao Meiyan suggested that the villagers at the scene recommend their own representatives to go directly to the trial table as temporary judges, and form a temporary collegial panel with the presiding judge to try the next more than 1,000 bandits.
Halfway through, the number of bandits sentenced to death had already exceeded two hundred. In the next batch, each time, 100 people were divided into two groups and brought up to cross-examine each other.
Finally, the collegial panel disagreed on the sentencing of the 169 bandits, and it was time for several batches of zuihou.
According to Zhao Meiyan's opinion, anyone who joins a bandit group will be sentenced to at least one year in prison, regardless of the severity of the crime. But the 15 temporary representatives unanimously agreed that these 169 people should be acquitted!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
