The gate of the Chang'an County government office was bustling with activity. Several government officials beat gongs and went to the street, shouting: "Dear neighbors, the county government is going to hold a public trial of sticks. Master Ma invites everyone to come and watch."
There is very little entertainment in this era, but gossip is human nature. Regardless of the era, as soon as there is something lively to watch, everyone goes out talking and laughing, and in groups of three or five, they rush towards the county government office. Everyone has been waiting for a long time and is looking forward to it.
.
The gate of the county government office was gradually filled with people, talking in low voices.
After waiting for a while, a large number of government officials rushed out and formed a circle to keep the people out. Then, a group of capable men in stand-up collared tunic suits escorted a group of people out. The people being escorted were dejected and their faces were gray.
It is the member of the Bangzi Club that everyone is familiar with. Compared with the arrogant and domineering people in the past, they are completely different.
When the neighbors saw that he was a real member of the Bangzi Club and was not fooling him, they immediately lost their composure.
"Those bastards are so good, God will open their eyes."
"Oh my God, that's the King of Han Gaoyi, standing up for us poor people."
"That's right, look at that attire. I heard it was called a stand-collar tunic suit. It has a weird name and I've never heard of it, but it looks so energetic. Only the most trusted people around the King of Han are qualified to wear it."
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is benevolent and righteous!"
Countless people spoke sincerely, gradually gathering together and becoming neatly organized, like a collective call.
The next moment, a man also wearing a stand-up collared tunic suit walked out of the county government office. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, but with a faint smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze and made them feel more friendly. It was Qin Huaidao.
Someone knew him and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "It's the King of Han, the King of Han is here."
"See the King of Han!"
The people shouted sincerely, saluted one after another, and looked at him wildly.
During this period of time, everyone has made a lot of money working in the industrial city, and they can occasionally have meat at home, which was something that was unimaginable before.
The thinking of ordinary people is so simple - you are good to me, and I will work hard for you!
When Qin Huaidao organized this public trial, he was originally a little worried that everyone would not be able to accept this method. When he saw the excited crowd at the scene, he felt relieved and said with cupped hands: "Everyone, how are you doing!"
"Thanks to the King of Han, everything is fine!"
"Thank you, King Han!"
The crowd was excited and excited.
Qin Huaidao pressed down his hands to signal everyone to be quiet and then continued: "Everyone, I have called everyone here today for one purpose. To publicly judge Bang Zihui's crimes and give everyone justice."
"good!"
Everyone cheered loudly.
After a while, Qin Huaidao calmed the scene again and shouted: "Bring in the traffickers."
Two soldiers from the Guards Battalion dragged Liu Sanbang up and threw it on the ground.
The most important thing when working out is to save face. When Liu Sanbang saw that he was being tried in front of many people, he was as uncomfortable as having his clothes stripped off. His ancestors were all embarrassed. He wished he could die right away. He closed his eyes and did not dare to look again.
Qin Huaidao picked up the file and shouted: "Dear neighbors, this man Liu Sanbang was ordered by the purchasing manager of the Department Store yesterday to break into Old Man Zhou's home with his men, beat him to death, broke into the home, looted all the valuables, and destroyed it.
It is a heinous crime to destroy a large vegetable garden. Should such a person be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed!"
"kill him!"
Everyone responded one after another, and the scene got a little out of control.
Qin Huaidao finally calmed down the situation and continued: "Dear neighbors, after an overnight trial by the Chang'an County Government, it was discovered that Liu Sanbang had committed more than one heinous crime. Five days ago, he set up a bet and defrauded Old Man Liu of all his money.
, he also forged IOUs and came to collect debts, beating a family of three to death. Old man Liu's daughter was snatched away and sold into a brothel. Ten days ago, he led people to sneak into a rice shop and looted it. The two clerks who were looking after the shop were beaten to death.
There are still more than a dozen cases, Mr. Ma?"
Ma Zhou hurried forward and saluted solemnly: "What are the orders from the King of Han?"
"Read the crime committed by Liu Sanbang."
"Here!" Ma Zhou agreed and took the file.
Next, Ma Zhou read aloud one by one, and the whole audience fell silent. Everyone knew that Liu Sanbang's crimes were extremely heinous, but they did not expect to be so cruel. He was worse than an animal, and everyone was furious.
After finally finishing reading, Ma Zhou brought another dossier, which recorded the heinous crimes committed by other members of the Bangzi Society. The leader of the society had committed even more crimes. Although the person had been beaten to death by Luo Wu, the crimes must be made public.
Gradually, the people could no longer suppress their anger.
"Kill them!"
"Not human at all!"
"This busy devil, beat them to death!"
Some people started throwing stones at the criminals, and more people soon followed suit.
The members of the Suppression and Guards had already been warned and did not stop him. Instead, they got out of the way. Some of the victims' family members and excited people took the opportunity to swarm up and pounce on the criminals.
The criminal was tied up and unable to escape. He was pushed to the ground and kicked and beaten wildly.
"Give me back my son——"
A white-haired old lady rushed up. She was unsteady on her feet, but she walked resolutely, and everyone got out of the way.
The old lady came to Liu Sanbang and wanted to hit her, but found that she had no strength. She simply pounced on Liu Sanbang and pressed down Liu Sanbang's ears. She didn't know where she got the strength to bite off the ear completely. The corners of her mouth were full of blood, but
He laughed with joy on his face.
"Son, did you see that this beast has been punished? Mom will avenge you." The old lady said and pounced on Liu Sanbang again, biting Liu Sanbang's throat.
"Ah——" Liu Sanbang let out a heart-rending roar, and soon there was no movement.
The old lady also lay motionless on Liu Sanbang's body.
Everyone was moved when they saw this scene. They checked the old lady one after another. After confirming that she was dead, they all looked at Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao also stepped forward to check. The old lady was avenged. She couldn't hold her breath steadily, but she walked away peacefully and with a heart.
With emotion, he looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Master Ma, give me a grand burial!"
"Follow the order!" Ma Zhou said solemnly.
"The King of Han is benevolent and righteous!"
"Master Ma is benevolent and righteous!"
The people in the neighborhood shouted.
"Kill these bastards!" Someone shouted, and everyone's hatred was once again aroused.
The members of the Bangzi Society who were brought up were all criminals who deserved to die. No one sympathized with them. Within a short time, they were beaten to death by the angry people. Their death was so tragic that their original appearance was indistinguishable.
The common people vented their evil spirits and felt refreshed immediately, and expressed their gratitude to Qin Huaidao one after another.
Ma Zhou was touched when he saw this scene, and looked at Qin Huaidao, but said nothing.
Qin Huaidao saw that the people's support could be used, and loudly signaled everyone to be quiet before continuing: "Everyone, the Bangzi Society has been uprooted and can no longer harm one party, but there are more other gangs that are also oppressing you, so I have decided to attack all the gangs in Chang'an City.
The gang will launch a severe crackdown, do you agree?"
"good!"
"good!"
"The King of Han is benevolent and righteous!"
Everyone roared excitedly, their eyes were filled with light, and there were tears in the light.
We have been working together for too long, too long, and we have long been hoping for someone to do justice for heaven, but there has never been one. Even when we were bullied, we could not redress our grievances. The king of Han took the stick forcefully and gave everyone hope that the injustice would be redressed.
Qin Huaidao understood everyone's mood, signaled for silence and continued: "Dear neighbors, the Bangzi Club was eliminated only after Boss Zhou reported it. I decided to reward the Bangzi Club's old nest to Boss Zhou, and the property copied by the Bangzi Club will be divided equally among the victims.
Everyone is also welcome to report and testify. Once verified, the first whistleblower will get the gang house like Old Man Zhou, and the property will be distributed to other victims and whistleblowers. The more favorable the reporting evidence, the greater the reward."
If you want to bring down a gang, the most difficult thing is evidence.
The best way is to launch a people's war. As long as all the people participate, are you afraid that there is no evidence?
In order to get more free labor to build roads in Hanzhou, Qin Huaidao also worked hard.
As soon as everyone heard the first report, they could get a house, which was a lot of wealth. The following reports and witnesses would be rewarded based on their merits, and the money would definitely be indispensable. After all, the gangs all had money, so everyone immediately became interested.
If you have money, you will be full of motivation.
Someone shouted loudly: "King Han, does the surrender of a gang member count as meritorious service?"
"Of course it counts. Those who surrender can be sentenced as appropriate." Qin Huaidao said firmly, and while looking for the sound, he saw a young man with evasive eyes. He was probably a gang member.
Gang members know the gang best. Once these people come forward to report, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Next, Ma Zhou came on the stage and presented the seized Bangzihui mansion to Boss Zhou on the spot. Boss Zhou's name was written on the house deed. He then brought up the confiscated money and distributed it to Boss Zhou on the spot.
The representative of the victim who had his name read came up in tears, thanked him repeatedly, and was very excited. He never thought that his great revenge would be repaid in this life, and he would be compensated with money.
Nothing is more convincing and more driving than real benefits. House deeds and money are like two big suns that instantly illuminate everyone's thoughts.
Many people in the crowd left quietly with their eyes twinkling, and several carriages parked not far away also left quietly.
The King of Han's sword has been raised high, and all smart people know that the good days of the gangs in Chang'an City have come to an end.
Is it to hide in hiding, or to report and merit merit?
