Lu Hongzhuo gritted his teeth, he had already reached the point where he had to fight for the trouble, right? So, Lu Hongzhuo stood up and pretended to be calm, walked to Li Gou Sheng and said to him in a deep voice.

"Li Goucheng, can you tell me where those two pieces of ocean huā have gone?!"

"Objection!! The defense lawyer is asking questions about topics that have nothing to do with this case, which can also be regarded as eliciting a confession!" Before Lu Hongzhuo finished speaking, Zhang Shizhao stood up and said loudly.

"As two silver dollars, they can be a basis for this case, but they are not the subject! First of all, this kind of inquiry by the defense lawyer has nothing to do with this case. Secondly, the defense lawyer is suspected of trying to induce the verdict with the whereabouts of the silver coins - don't we all remember

Where did the money you took go?"

"Wow~" Everyone laughed and Lu Hongzhuo blushed, but at this time Li Goucheng raised his head and said seriously to Lu Hongzhuo: "I remember where my money went..."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and their laughter suddenly stopped! Li Gou Sheng looked at everyone and said softly: "Although I am illiterate, I will write down how much money I spend every day in my notebook..."

As he spoke, Li Goucheng took out a somewhat shabby little notebook from his arms and whispered to Lu Hongzhuo: "These big circles are silver coins. The small circles are copper plates. I have done everything with how much money I spent."

Remember..."

Zhang Shizhao stood up after hearing this, walked in next to Li Gou Sheng and looked at the notebook he took out. Although there was no writing on it, some things could still be seen.

For example, the drug store with the word "medicine" is painted crookedly, and the sheep's head and pig's head are painted on the butcher stall. This all shows that Li Gou Sheng did record how much money he spent.

"The objection is valid! The witness does not need to say where he spent the two silver coins, because this is not the subject of this case. Defense lawyers, please be careful not to ask about topics unrelated to this case. At the same time, you can look for other evidence to prove the witness

He never accepted two silver dollars, or he knew what was written on his banner."

Zhang Yaozeng sat on the judge's bench and said in a deep voice to Lu Hongzhuo below. But Li Goucheng smiled innocently at this time and said to Zhang Yaozeng: "There is nothing that can't be said. I remember where the money is spent."

Went..."

As he spoke, Li Goucheng said softly to Zhang Yaozeng: "I fled the famine and fled to Tai'an last year. Later I heard that the National Defense Forces were providing disaster relief in Dezhou. I went to Dezhou with my mother, and then I came to Fengtian."

Everyone suddenly realized! No wonder this young man spoke with a Shandong accent. It turned out that he escaped from the disaster last year! Everyone present knew that last year the National Defense Forces carried out a major disaster relief! The relief targets were eight provinces after the flood. So far

Approximately 20 million people poured into Manchuria.

Under the command of the National Defense Forces, some of them carried out land reclamation, while others entered Mongolia to graze cattle. Or they entered various construction sites and factories to become workers.

Li Goucheng gently opened his notebook and pointed to the line above and said softly: "My mother is not in good health. After coming to Fengtian, a student brother helped me find a hospital and also helped me tell the hospital.

The government will cover half of the medical expenses..."

At this point, everyone remembered that these disaster victims had just arrived with no money. So the governments of the three northeastern provinces decided that the governments of the three northeastern provinces would basically be responsible for part of the medical expenses of these victims, and they themselves would bear part of it. They really had no money.

If so, I will write an IOU and deduct it from my salary after the three provinces of Northeast China arrange work.

This method also saved many victims who came to Manchuria. Some of the medicines were donated by people from all walks of life in the three northeastern provinces, and doctors also participated in free clinics organized by Ge Yuetan.

"My mother was not in good health when she first arrived. She got better after taking some medicine. But she still had to recuperate, so I came out to help the Hongtai Hao carry rice to earn money." Li Goucheng said in a very soft voice.

There's no emotion in it.

"I have to buy Korean ginseng for my mother. Korean ginseng is not cheap..." Li Goucheng seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be explaining to everyone: "I carried rice for two months before I had enough money to give it to my mother."

My mother bought a good-quality Korean ginseng. It was bought from the ginseng farmer my third brother helped me find..."

"I carry rice during the day. In the evening I go home and have dinner with my mother. After serving my mother and drinking medicine, I go out and follow my third brother to pull a rickshaw." After saying that, Li Gou Sheng smiled honestly and continued: "

At the best time, you can earn an ocean a night..."

Everyone was silent at this time. They understood why this bitch said he had no time to study. Because he had an old woman at home that he had to take care of, and he had no time to think about anything else.

"Manchuria is good! It's better than my hometown in Shandong. No one here forces me to pay for being a soldier." As he said that, Gou Sheng lowered his head slowly and said softly: "If you only knew that the words on it were speaking ill of the Commander-in-Chief.

, I will not go even if you beat me to death! Without the National Defense Force and the Commander-in-Chief, my mother and I would have starved to death in our hometown in Shandong..."

Although Gou Sheng's words were calm, many people could hear the regret and anger in them! It's not that he didn't want to study, he had a sick mother to take care of at home. He had to make money! He worked day and night.

He just earns money to buy ginseng for his mother to replenish her health.

"If it weren't for my mother's poor health, I would have joined the National Defense Forces a long time ago. But my mother is not in good health, so I can't just leave her to enjoy my own life." Gou Sheng spoke more and more smoothly, and originally wanted to interrupt him.

Lu Hongzhuo, who was shaking his head, was glared at by Zhang Yaozeng and could only shut up and say nothing.

"At that time in my hometown in Shandong, my mother and I were starving to death. It was the military men of the National Defense Force who gave us food and meat..." Gou Sheng wiped the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

"Even during the Chinese New Year...my mother and I can't even eat a bite of meat..." Everyone fell silent immediately. He knew how much pressure the National Defense Forces had to go out to provide disaster relief at that time! And how embarrassed the Nanjing government and other warlords were!

"When I arrived in Manchuria, I earned enough money to buy meat!" Gou Sheng puffed up his chest proudly and his voice became louder.

"I buy meat for my mother! We can have a meal of meat in three or four days, and we can also treat my mother! I can give my mother Korean ginseng to replenish her health! This is something I never dared to think about! Being able to eat meat

Yes, only Zhang Dahu in our village. As for medical treatment and Korean ginseng, I can’t even think about it.”

"There was a disaster in Harbin last month. I couldn't go to help, so I was asked to teach me how to read. The gentleman who asked me to go to school donated three oceans for me, which was my heartfelt wish. I can't forget that we suffered the disaster.

At that time, everyone in Manchuria helped us..."

Gou Sheng's words are not rhetorical. But everyone knows that in order to treat his mother's illness, he must also support the elderly. This man from a farmer's background has to decide what it means to donate three oceans!

These words sound very trivial, even a little messy. But from these trivial and messy narratives, people can learn about the various policies that the entire three northeastern provinces have formulated since last year’s disaster relief. They can also know that for these simple What do these policies mean to the farm boy?

"I was thinking before that I would join the National Defense Forces in a hundred years after my mother's death. I would work as a cow and horse for the National Defense Forces and repay their life-saving kindness..." As he said this, Gou Sheng suddenly raised his head with an unspeakable expression in his eyes. Firm! He said solemnly to the crowd.

"If I get older, my child will also serve as a soldier in the National Defense Force! Repay me for this life-saving grace..."

After Li Goucheng finished speaking, the people at the scene were lost in thought. Zhang Shizhao, who teaches at Dongda University, was full of pride. Shen Junru sighed deeply, and then he was filled with emotion!

"Does the witness have anything else to say?!" Zhang Yao, who was sitting on the high seat, said in a deep voice to Li Goucheng, while Li Goucheng shook his head to indicate that he was finished.

"So, does the defense lawyer have anything else to ask?" Perhaps it was Li Goucheng's words that touched Lu Hongzhuo, who was originally thinking about how to litigate the case. Or maybe Lu Hongzhuo also forgot that he wanted to ask What was it, Lu Hongzhuo shook his head at Zhang Yaozeng.

"Then, please leave the witness! Summon the next witness!" Zhang Yaozeng opened the file and said solemnly to the people below.

Li Goucheng left. The remaining witnesses appeared in the court one after another. Various evidences were also presented at the same time. Lu Hongzhuo looked at these witnesses and evidences that kept coming up. He knew that he would lose. Got it!

Liu Zixi, who was hiding in the crowd, felt his heart go cold from his chest to his butthole! The girl from Honglingyuan, the waiter from Taisheng Tea House, the rickshaw driver and even the Liu family's own maid! They all appeared in the court one after another, all kinds of The evidence all points to Shen, Wang, Li, Chen, and Liu families!

Liu Zixi felt chills all over his body. Only then did he begin to realize that this seemed to be a trap that had been set a long time ago! They were waiting for them to get into it! Then they would be strangled to death in the trap!

And Lu Hongzhuo's heart was even more desolate. At first he thought this was a good opportunity to beat a drowned dog. But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye he would become a beaten dog. This kind of evidence is conclusive, evidences and testimonies are piled up. Let alone a famous person like Zhang Shizhao in this case!

Even anyone who knows a little bit about the law can defeat him! Facts speak louder than words! In the face of countless evidences, all sophistry is in vain. If there were only a few exhibits and witnesses, Lu Hongzhuo might still dare to move Use some tricks, such as leading them to make mistakes or induce confessions.

But nearly a hundred people came out to testify. There were also evidence and confessions provided. Even if Zhang Shizhao personally stood on his side and helped him fight this lawsuit, it was all in vain.

After the officials were interrogated, they were not tried directly. Instead, they were escorted down. Then they brought up the arrested people from various businesses.

Unlike those family members who are working hard to get them out, these people have known that they are facing a certain death since they were arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

The evidence and witnesses possessed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Disciplinary Inspection Commission completely shattered their sense of luck! As their companions confessed one after another, these people already knew that their persistence was meaningless. .

So they had already explained everything. In this case, the trial was almost waiting for the outcome of being convicted.

Lu Hongzhuo stared blankly at the group of hundreds of people who were being escorted forward in silence. As various evidences, testimonies and witnesses were presented, Lu Hongzhuo became even more ashen-faced.

"Your Honor, I have no doubt..."

"Your Honor, I understand..."

These words of helplessness and weakness have become Lu Hongzhuo's mantra in court. He felt like the last mouse that fell into the tough thread. If he didn't struggle, he might still be able to breathe. As long as he struggled a little.

, then the strangled thread will get tighter and tighter! Until it suffocates itself.

In Fengtian City, the Liu family. Old Mr. Liu heard various testimonies on the radio. After the testimonies, he let out a long sigh. He understood why the person he sent to contact Yuan Jinkai has not returned yet.

Unwilling to be reconciled! Old Mrs. Liu secretly resented that Fengtian City had changed several overlords! All of them were powerful figures, and the Liu family had not fallen through so many storms. Why did he fall to this little one?

More than four million!

"Master Wu, please go down and let everyone pack their things. We will leave immediately..." Master Wu, who was standing next to Mr. Liu, looked as ugly as a dead man. Hearing what Mr. Liu said, he lowered his head and nodded softly: "Yes! Master

…”

Mr. Liu felt cold in his heart at this time, maybe he shouldn't be greedy! If he hadn't been dazzled by the amount of the purchase, then the Liu family would not have made such a decision!

But in history, nothing happened to the Liu family when it came to providing disaster relief materials! Old man Liu thought to himself: Which tiger has never shown such a strong determination to fight corruption. And this kind of anti-corruption has always been

It's about lifting it up high and putting it down gently, and finally letting it go.

They didn't expect that the Tiger Commander-in-Chief would actually go to war and directly drive everyone to death!

At this time, Mr. Liu suddenly realized that he had no influence at all on the governments of the three northeastern provinces and the National Defense Forces! Not only him, but also Shen, Wang, Li, and Chen all had influence over the new marshals after they withdrew from the Northeast.

The Wehrmacht lost its influence.

Originally, they had their own certain influence in the Feng faction, both in the civil society faction and within the military. But in the newly formed government of the National Defense Force, apart from knowing some low-level officials, they were not even familiar with the officers!

This is not their fault. Although the First Army, the predecessor of the National Defense Force, was stationed in Fengtian City, Su Zongzhe's management was extremely strict! People from the business could hardly penetrate and there was no way to contact them.

Subsequently, the National Defense Forces marched south and north, and Tu Sanpao and Junzi continued to clean up those old officers, so that the subsequent Third Army was completely reborn. After that, the Third Army was stationed in Outer Mongolia, and these families lost the opportunity to contact them.

When the Third Army returned as the National Defense Force, this force had become a new type of army derived from the First Army as its backbone! It was difficult for several families to even communicate with each other, let alone contact.

At this time, Mrs. Liu felt that it was unwise for him and others to rashly use their brains! But now that it was an afterthought, he could only do nothing.

At this time, Master Wu quietly walked back to the room and said softly to Mrs. Liu: "Master, I have already given the order. Everyone is preparing. When should we leave?"

Old Mrs. Liu slowly closed his eyes. He said in a deep voice to Master Wu: "Master Wu... please help me contact Mr. Yuan for the last time, and tell me that the only request of this old man and the old people of those families is

Meet the commander-in-chief and ask him to help..."

Master Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently. He quietly left the room and rushed towards Yuan Jinkai's home amidst the sound of the radio.

Tu Qianjun, who was signing and approving various documents in his headquarters, received the news a few minutes later. He raised his head and looked at Shang Dinan with a chuckle and said softly: "What did Uncle Zhao say?!"
