After Gu Bai's accusation was completed, member Sun Jianchen supported the desk with both hands, and shouted sharply: "All the criminals in the hall are recruited one by one. Zhang Taiyan, Zou Rong and others were silent, Sun Jianchen was in a dry figure and described as obscene, he was originally a donor official, and he didn't know a few big characters. He first served as a counselor in the French Concession Chamber, and soon after he was transferred to the Public Concession to replace his predecessor Zhang Shanshu, he encountered such a difficult case, and he was frightened when he heard those rebellious words just now, because according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the presiding judge could not allow the rebellious words to be repeated in public, and if the presiding judge could not stop it, the presiding judge would also be punished with a felony. Today, don't repeat the rebellious words of the past. ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed for a while, Wang Yaoting also glared at this colleague dissatisfied, Sun Jianchen was even more anxious, pointed at Zhang Taiyan and said: "Zhang Binglin, you, you, you confess first." ”
Zhang Taiyan is the most high-profile person in the entire public office, he has a long shawl, wears something similar to a robe, and said with a smile: "It's a big article, are you tired of me." I, Zhang Binglin, from Yuhang, Zhejiang, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-six years old. First he read, then he ...... I returned to China last year, and I taught at the Patriotic Society in December of last year. Because he saw that Kang Youwei wrote a book to oppose the revolution and protect the Manchus, he wrote a book to refute it. The lawyer's accusation contained the four words of the clown that violated the Qing Emperor's sacredness, I only know that the Qing Emperor is a Manchurian, and I don't know the so-called sacred, the ugliness of the clown. As for Su Bao's arguments and the revival meeting, it has nothing to do with me, it's over. "Zhang Taiyan is highly educated, and the clown is forced by him to be a child, and everyone in the hall has nothing to do about it.
Sun Jianchen thought to himself, this Zhang Binglin is a famous scholar today, and he must have been a scholar and a jinshi, so he stared at the two dull yellow eyeballs and asked, "What year did you get the name of the department?" ”
Zhang Taiyan turned his face and smiled at Zou Rong who was standing next to him: "I am flying all over the sky, what is the nest?" There was a burst of laughter around, and Juror Di Binan broke the embarrassment and shouted: "Quiet, next, Zou Rong is here!" ”
Zou Rong put his hands behind his back, his head raised, and his face was full of disdain, "I, Zou Rong, am from Ba County, Sichuan, and I am eighteen years old. "The Revolutionary Army" is a manuscript I wrote, I don't know how to lose it, and then I saw someone selling it on the road. As for who published the book, I don't know, how much the book cost, I don't know, how the Su newspaper commented, I don't know, it's over. ”
Cooper immediately asked, "Since the manuscript has been stolen and published for sale, why don't you come forward to ban it?" ”
Zou Rong retorted confidently: "I don't represent the patrol house, nor the Yamen of Shanghai County, what power can prohibit others from selling?" ”
Cooper was speechless.
After that, Cheng Jifu, the newspaper bookkeeper, Chen Zhongyi, the son of Chen Fan, the owner of the newspaper, Qian Baoren, a partner of the Su newspaper, Qian Baoren, a gangster from Zhenjiang who pretended to be Sun Zhongshan, Long Zehou, a reformist who was one of the main writers of the Su edition, and Xu Jingwu, who was called the king of pheasants at the time of the owner of the newsstand, confessed one by one.
Among these people, Xu Jingwu, Cheng Jifu, Zhang Taiyan, Chen Zhongyi, and Qian Baoren were directly arrested. Yu Mingzhen, an official sent by the Qing court before, had a private meeting with Wu Jingheng and persuaded everyone to escape, but Zhang Taiyan disagreed with Wu Jingheng because of the separation of the Chinese Education Association and the Patriotic Society, and his advice was not taken seriously. The patrol came up and took him away. Later, when he went to prison, he had to write a letter to Zou Rong and Long Zehou with pen and paper, inviting the two to go to prison together, Long Zehou came that night, and Zou Rong also came early the next morning.
After the interrogation, Zhang, Zou and others were still escorted back to the old patrol room under the heavy protection of the patrol. Walking out of the gate of the public office, hearing the news and waiting outside the door to see the demeanor of the rebel heroes, the people crowded the alley at the corner of the street, Zhang Taiyan stood on the carriage, very excited, and chanted aloud: "The wind blows the shackles all over the city, and the market competes for the outsiders." ”
After the preliminary trial, Wang Jitong, Jiang Weiqiao, Ye Han and others got together again to discuss that day. Jiang Weiqiao asked, "Xiao Xu, is there any news from the Ministry of Industry Bureau?" ”
Wang Jitong's news was obtained from Rutte through Guò Zhong Guan, "Now the American consul Guna is on duty in the public concession, and he was bewitched by that Fu Kaisen, and now he is still in favor of extradition." However, the British consul did not approve of it, and now the United States, Russia, and France are in favor of extradition, Germany is neutral, and Britain, Japan, and Italy are not in favor of extradition. "Fu Kaisen is the American general office of Nanyang College, and he has always had a good relationship with the imperial court, and the Qing court has done his work as an American consul.
Zhang Ji heard the attitude of France and Russia, and said loudly: "France and Russia are communiqué personal enmity, and it was our society that rejected France and Russia in the first place, and it was really a son of a king." ”
Everyone deeply agreed with Zhang Ji's opinion, Ye Han said: "Xiao Xu, wasn't the public opinion in the newspaper very good last time, how did the American Consul Guna do this, isn't the United States promoting freedom, equality and fraternity." Can you put pressure on it from these? Ye Han saw that some time ago, the newspaper's public opinion was well guided, and he was deeply impressed. I was shocked by the power behind Wang Jitong, you must know that the thousands of yuan just for hiring a lawyer are not something that ordinary people can afford. The Cheng Cheng in "The Revolutionary Army" should be Yang Rui, a business teacher at the previous college, and this Wang Jitong is estimated to be a member of the Revival Association together with Yang Rui. Although I think so in my heart, it is difficult to show it now that there are many people talking. Wang Jitong nodded, "I'll arrange it later." It's a pity that no one is familiar with this Gunna's past as a person, otherwise it would be more targeted. ”
What Wang Jitong is talking about is the traditional Chinese slander routine, that is, to hold on to the past immorality of the slandered person, and then chase after him and beat him hard, but this American consul was born in the United States, and some of his things are completely unknown to everyone. It seems that the only way to grasp the liberty and equality of the United States of America is to love it.
The time quickly came on July 21, this was the second trial, and according to the procedure, it should be the turn of the defendant's lawyer to appear in court to defend it. In the previous interrogation, the lawyer team persuaded the defendants how to answer, but Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong still disdained to avoid the crime, and they took the initiative to go to prison to represent the 40,000 Han and 5 million Manchurian races against the Bo court. In the end, Wang Jitong showed Yang Rui's telegram to Zhang Taiyan, thinking that if you came out safely this time, there would be more people in the Qing court who opposed him, and it was Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong who changed their original intentions.
The lawyers' group defended everyone's innocence, and the Qing court lawyers only had Dan Wen and Gu Bai, and there were many people in the lawyer group, especially Hahuato, the largest law firm in Shanghai, who was even sharper, and refuted Dan Wen and Gu Bai without a place to embarrass themselves. In history, this Hahuatuo was originally a lawyer invited by the Qing court, but now he was invited by the society, and the presiding judge Wang Yaoting and the counselor Sun Jianchen listened to it like pins and needles. There was really no way, and the Qing court lawyer Gu Bai asked to stop the trial, "There are other negotiations outside of this case, and the opportunity is not yet ripe, so it is inconvenient to appeal in court today." Wait until the negotiations stop,"
The lawyers' group immediately retorted: "Lawyer Gu's so-called rescheduling of the meeting cannot be allowed by the court," and then, the lawyers' group Bo Yi questioned Sun Jianchen, a lawyer, about the negotiation issue raised by Gu Bai, "What did lawyer Gu Bai say, what did he negotiate, and who did he negotiate with?" ”
This matter has nothing to do with Gu Bai, he didn't answer, and Sun Jianchen only promised and didn't dare to answer.
Havato then asked: "Who is the plaintiff now, is it the government, the governor of Jiangsu, or the Taoist platform in Shanghai?" ”
Cooper said: "I represent the Qing government. ”
Havato asked him to produce a power of attorney for the plaintiff, but Cooper said no. Sun Jianchen knew that the question could not be avoided, so he replied hesitantly: "Zhang, Zou and other criminals were arrested by the governor of Jiangsu, and this government is just acting in accordance with the order. In order to show what he said, he took out the inscription of the governor of Jiangsu and showed it.
Havato sneered: "The Chinese government, but the plaintiff and the judge are the same person, can this get fair approval?" Sun Jianchen couldn't answer.
Havato immediately took the opportunity to fight back: "If the plaintiff's lawyer cannot point out the crimes committed by Zhang, Zou and others, and cannot specify the matters to be negotiated, the case should be immediately dismissed." As soon as these words came out, the lobby was in an uproar, Wang Yaoting and Sun Jianchen looked at each other, if this case is cancelled, then their official positions will be done. They stopped shouting silence and only looked at their lawyers, Gu Bai and Dan Wen. Gu Bai was speechless, and Dan Wen said: "I propose a temporary adjournment today, and the court date will be determined after the government has completed the negotiations." "There is no way to argue about this matter, so it can only be delayed.
Wang Yaoting and Sun Jianchen were relieved, and hurriedly announced the adjournment of the trial, and the trial date was to be determined. The juror, British Vice-Consul Dibinan, had no choice but to agree.
The case was closed without a clear follow-up. Wang Jitong discussed with everyone a few times, but they were all helpless, and the only way was to keep the public opinion of the newspaper hot to a certain extent, so that this matter would not be forgotten by everyone. Everyone was convinced that the Qing court must have been discussing extradition with the envoys of various countries and the consular corps in Shanghai, because there was a group of lawyers in the concession, and it was difficult for the public to convict them. Although he knew, he had nothing to do, and he and those people were not on the same table, so he had to resign himself to fate.
The case came to an end, Wang Jitong finally had time to deal with those students, he didn't have any eloquence, but recently for the society to run everyone still in their hearts, this day he convened the students in the classroom of the instrument hall for a meeting, Wang Jitong wrote on the blackboard three choices, one is revolution, the second is a study tour, the third is to work, and then said: "I have never liked to say much, today there are these three choices, one is the revolution, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is mediocre, there is no hope of rejuvenating the country, and the revolution is the only correct solution." The second is the study tour, now China's technology is not as good as people, everywhere Yangyang people snort, after the study tour, you can be rich and strong China, the third is the work, if the family is poor, you can work, you can also support your family. Of these three, you should consider choosing one of them in three days, and then write to me in the envelope, and remember to seal the letter. If you choose a revolutionary, you can arrange for Mr. Jing Cheng to go to the revolution; If you choose to travel to scholars, as long as you pass the exam, you can arrange a study tour, don't worry about tuition and travel expenses, and those who fail the exam can take the exam again next time; The workmanship will be properly arranged. ”
As soon as Wang Jitong finished his words with an expressionless face, nearly 100 students in the classroom began to be lively. Wang Jitong replied: "Do you have any doubts about the students?" ”
A student asked, "Sir, how is this revolution going to be reformed?" ”
Wang Jitong was still expressionless, and said: "It is said in the preface of "Revolutionary Army", as for the specific method, I don't know. ”
Next, another student asked, "Where do you want to go on a study tour?" ”
Wang Jitong said: "I went to Japan and Germany to study German and Japanese here, and then I could take the guò exam in Shanghai, and then I chose a school after I got there." At this time, there were still very few people who went to Germany, and most of them went to Japan at this time, but Germany also figured out that Guò would collect students to expand its influence in China, which was the same reason that the United States would refund the Gengzi indemnity in the future. Rutte has already said that as long as the examination at the consulate in Shanghai is passed, then Germany will waive tuition fees and provide scholarships.
Students have no objection to going to Europe for a study tour, young people always want to be as far away from home as possible, not to mention that with so many classmates, they are not afraid to travel far. Wang Ji saw that there was no problem, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting.
