Tianfu Football Stadium, Dongcheng District, Beijing.
Today the entire football field is open to the public free of charge, and everyone can line up to enter the Tianfu Football Stadium to watch this public trial.
The arrogant and lawless Chopper Gang and the Damage Gang in Dongcheng District were uprooted by the trusted prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Yesterday, all the important leaders and important members of the two gangs were arrested. It was like a thunder blow that wiped them out instantly.
The haze that has shrouded the people in Dongcheng District has been lifted.
Today, a public trial will be held here to conduct a public trial on the main leaders and members of the two gangs, and to provide justice to the people of Dongcheng District.
The news has spread, and the entire Dongcheng District has become extremely lively and noisy. Many people came here overnight and lined up in a long queue, preparing to see the public trial in person and see how the prince dealt with these evil gangs.
of.
The public trial started at ten o'clock, and the entire football field was full of police officers. The serious atmosphere made everyone who came stay quiet and wait for the start of the public trial.
"Dang~dang!"
As the clock tower rang the ten o'clock bell on time.
Zhu Houzhao, wearing a crimson third-grade official uniform, walked in with style, followed closely by Liu Jin, Ji Zhong and other important officials in the court who were invited.
"The public trial will begin now."
As soon as everyone sat down, Cao Rui, the warden of the Dongcheng District Prison Yamen, shouted loudly with a tin trumpet.
"Bring the prisoner!"
I saw teams of police officers suppressing the Chopper Gang, the leader of the Damage Gang, and the gang members lined up to arrive at the football field. These people all wore shackles on their heads and shackles on their feet. Each one of them had no trace of the past.
He was arrogant, but his eyes were full of fear.
The same is true for the thief Chen Xing. At this moment, he still lacks the arrogance of the past. After just one day in the cell, he knows that he is afraid.
That's really not how people live.
The shackles on your head weigh dozens of kilograms, weighing down your neck so much that you can't lift it up, and the shackles on your feet are so heavy that you can only take one step forward.
The environment in the cell was extremely bad. Just one night, his whole body was bitten by lice, fleas and the like. The key is that until now, he has not even eaten a bite of food, because the food in the cell was full of
It's like swill and I can't eat it at all.
But this is just the beginning. There are still hard times to go through. Even if I don't lose my head, I estimate that being exiled for thousands of miles will definitely be inevitable.
They had already discussed with each other when they were in the cell last night. If they were exiled to Winter City, they might freeze to death by then. I heard that where water was poured into ice, some people even lost their ears from the cold.
Some people were so cold that they even lost their noses.
The coldness of Winter City makes everyone tremble when they mention it.
But what is even more terrifying is if you are exiled to the no-man's land in Australia, there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles, and there is only a small town used to exile prisoners.
Once you arrive somewhere, if you want to escape, there will be no place to escape to, a desert, or even exile to an uninhabited island, where you will die alone.
Just when everyone talked about this, some people started crying on the spot last night. They even had to drag their parents, wife and children into exile, and they suddenly became even more grief-stricken.
"Bring the prisoner Chopper Gang leader Song Hu!"
Following Cao Rui's shouting, Song Hu was brought to the public trial stage.
"Song Hu, do you know your guilt?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Song Hu in front of him. At this moment, he no longer had the heroic spirit of yesterday. Coupled with his ordinary appearance, who would have thought that he was the leader of the Chopper Gang in Dongcheng District.
"The grassroots people know the crime, the grassroots people know the crime!"
Song Hu kowtowed repeatedly, just like everyone else, he knew he was scared after just one night in prison. He was really scared.
"The criminal Song Hu formed a vicious gang, the Chopper Gang, with villagers as the backbone, wantonly expanding the gang's power, using methods such as smashing, threatening, and killing to force others to transfer their land to restaurants, teahouses, casinos, brothels, etc. for improper profit.
He ignored the royal law and used threats, beatings and other means to collect protection fees, which was extremely harmful, extremely bad in nature, and the circumstances were particularly serious."
"Now the trial is open to the public. All good people who were oppressed by Song Hu can come forward to complain about his evil nature. Those whose property has been seized by him can also come forward to register, and they will be returned after investigation."
Zhu Houzhao's voice was very loud, and it was clearly transmitted through the tin speakers to every corner of the quiet football field.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, a large number of people came to the middle of the public trial venue and began to accuse Song Hu of his numerous evil deeds.
"Master Qingtian, please make the decision for the common people!"
"Mr. Chen Wang, a small citizen, and her husband Chen Qinqin were born and raised in Dongcheng District. They inherited twenty acres of land from their ancestors. They originally had no worries about food and clothing and lived a happy life."
"But this Song Hu, he took a fancy to our land and said it would be used to build a building. He insisted on buying our land at the price of five taels of silver per acre. He said that the price was the same ten years ago.
."
"My old man refused, so they sent people to my house every day to harass and beat him. The old man was so angry that he went to the Shuntian Government Office to file a complaint. No one paid attention to him at the Shuntian Government Office. After he returned, he was beaten to death by someone led by Song Hu with a kitchen knife.
Hack to death."
"And my daughter-in-law, who was already seven or eight months pregnant, was harassed, teased, and frightened by them every day. In the end, she was so frightened that she had a miscarriage and died."
"My son went to sue the officials, but they broke his legs and is now a cripple."
An old woman came forward, pointed at Song Hu, and accused him of his crimes through gritted teeth. When she looked at Song Hu, she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Oh my God!"
"There is such a thing."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
This Song Hu is full of evil deeds and can really do anything.
The price of land in the capital has already skyrocketed. To buy it for five taels of silver per acre is simply a plunder.
If he refused to sell, he even hacked people to death, beat an old man to death, frightened his wife and died of a miscarriage, and even his son's legs were broken and he became a cripple.
It is really shocking that such a thing happened at the feet of the Emperor, in the most virtuous place.
Everyone has heard of this before, but didn't expect it to be true.
"Song Hu, what can you say?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Song Hu coldly. He seemed to be a loyal and honest man, but he actually did such an evil thing. It would be easier for him to die.
"I have nothing to say."
Song Hu lowered his head.
"Very good~"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then said to the old woman: "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice. You can sit next to me first."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Rui, and the other party immediately understood and quickly ordered someone to bring a chair for the old woman to sit on.
"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Old lady, I kowtow to you!"
The old woman, Mrs. Chen Wang, knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and kowtowed to him respectfully. She had been waiting for this day for too long.
"Get up, get up!"
Zhu Houzhao also quickly ordered people to help him up.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"The common people want to accuse this bully Song Hu."
"Cao Min was originally the owner of the Haokelai Restaurant in Dongcheng District. I built this restaurant with my ancestors' savings. However, they were attracted by the Chopper Gang. They even wanted to buy it forcibly for 100 taels of silver. I refused.
He came to my restaurant every day to cause trouble, so that there wasn’t even a single customer.”
"They came to my restaurant every day to eat the King's Meal. After eating, they would smash it, and they would beat me every two days. In the end, I really had no choice but to sell the land price of the restaurant to them."
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness~"
"The common people also want to accuse this chopper gang."
With Chen Wang taking the lead, people one after another began to come forward to accuse the Chopper Gang and Song Hu and other leaders. The clerks responsible for recording were almost overwhelmed and could not finish writing. In the blink of an eye, they filled up the
A full book.
The numerous crimes committed by the Chopper Gang are simply too numerous to describe.
As long as the property or land they are interested in is basically bought and sold by force, if you don't sell it, they will come to your house every day to cause trouble, smash and kill, and continue to cause trouble until you buy the land for the price.
In addition, protection fees are forcibly collected. Merchants who do not pay protection fees will not be able to do business in Dongcheng District. They will come to your house every day and eat overlord meals until you go bankrupt.
There are also things like robbing women, forcibly taking married women as concubines, and molesting and desecrating women in broad daylight. This is simply lawless and heinous crime.
"This government will pronounce the verdict now!"
"Song Hu is sentenced to death and will be executed immediately. All property will be confiscated and the three tribes will be exiled to Winter City!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Song Hu and announced the penalty to Song Hu on the spot.
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"
"Let me live, let me live."
When he was being carried away by the police to the guillotine, Song Hu was suddenly really scared. He was suffering and struggling. He even peed on the spot. There was no trace of the heroic spirit of a gang leader.
ah.
However, at this point, no matter how he begged for mercy, it had no effect.
When they arrived at the guillotine, the executioner in red robe took a swig of liquor and sprayed it on the shining guillotine. In an instant, he became completely powerless and fell to the ground.
"Execution!"
Zhu Houzhao threw the token in his hand, the executioner's knife flashed, and Song Hu's head fell to the ground.
"Haha, old man, daughter-in-law, and my unborn grandson, have you seen it?"
"Did you see that?"
"Your great revenge has been avenged! You can rest in peace!"
Seeing Song Hu being chopped down, Chen Wang burst into tears on the spot.
