Wuhan government officials and reporters were a little confused. They either knocked over chairs, dropped things on the ground, and bent down to pick them up. There was a lot of chirping and chaos!
At this time, a group of senior military officers walked in from outside the door. They walked up to the rostrum with their heads held high.
The leader is Li Chengguo, the first director of the Military Justice Division of the Wuhan Garrison Command, followed by Ye Peng, the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison Command. Following him is He Guixiang, the chief of staff of the Garrison Command, Luo Jiang, the first director of the Investigation Division, and Luo Jiang, the chief of the Military Justice Division.
One long Jiao Juncai.
They sat down behind the table solemnly and looked majestically at the entire venue.
The presiding officer shouted again: "Everyone! Sit down!"
The officers and soldiers sat down with a loud bang. The officials and reporters sat down after another commotion.
After a moment of hustle and bustle, everything was finally ready. The officers, soldiers and reporters in the venue all looked up at the senior officials above.
After a while, several female officers came up to make tea and pour water for the officers. To be honest, their beautiful posture of bending down to pour water was really beautiful! The officers and soldiers in the venue opened their eyes wide.
13-21
The venue finally became quiet, and everyone below looked at the officers on the stage.
Li Chengguo smiled vaguely and nodded to Commander Ye Peng beside him. Ye Peng was serious and solemn, nodding to He Guixiang on the other side. He Guixiang stood up in panic and looked at the Military Law Officer Jiao Juncai on the other side of the rostrum.
Nod.
Jiao Juncai coughed heavily, glanced at the notebook in front of him, and said loudly: "Now, I would like to introduce to you the officers sitting on the rostrum. They are, Li Chengguo, Chief of the Military Law Department of Wuhan Garrison Command, Wuhan Garrison
Commander-in-Chief Ye Peng of the Headquarters, Chief of Staff He Guixiang of the Garrison Headquarters, and Chief of the Luojiang Division of the Investigation Division of the Garrison Headquarters.”
When he was introducing, everyone whose name was mentioned stood up slightly and gave a slight greeting to the people in the venue.
Jiao Juncai continued: "These officers are also the trial judges of this temporary military court. I, Jiao Juncai, the first director of the Military Law Division of the Garrison Command, as the prosecutor of the temporary military court, established the temporary military court in accordance with relevant regulations such as military discipline and military law.
, try the case of the Gendarmerie of the Investigation and Investigation Division affiliated to this headquarters, taking advantage of the checkpoint opportunity to extort refugees, embezzlement and perversion of the law! And file a charge against the defendant in this case!"
Before he finished speaking, the venue was already buzzing with discussion.
Chief Jiao Chuyi patted the table, "Please be quiet! Now the trial of this case begins! The defendant Chen Zifeng!"
Chen Zifeng stood up at attention and said loudly: "Here we are!"
"Your name!"
"Chen Zifeng!"
"age!"
"Born in 1914, I am twenty-four years old this year."
"Where are you from?"
“People from Taizhou, Jiangsu!”
"When will you join the army?"
"Joined the army in May 1935!"
"Duty now!"
"Captain of the Gendarmerie of the Investigation Division of the Wuhan Security Command, with the rank of captain!"
"When did you assume this position..."
13-22
At this time, Chief Li Chuyi, who was sitting in the middle, finally couldn't sit still.
He looked back at Ye Peng and whispered: "Commander He, do you really want to ask one by one like this? When are you going to ask? What are their names and where are they from? I don't care at all! I just want to know
Have they committed a crime?"
Commander-in-Chief Ye Peng immediately turned around and whispered a few words to He Guixiang beside him.
He Guixiang hurriedly got up and ran to Jiao Juncai, whispering a few words to him.
Everyone in the venue looked at them in surprise, not understanding what they were talking about.
Jiao Juncai looked around, flipped through the notebook in front of him, and suddenly asked loudly: "Chen Zifeng, do you admit your guilt!"
Chen Zifeng said loudly: "Sir, I am not guilty!"
Jiao Juncai glared at him and almost slammed the table.
At this time, Xiao Ancheng suddenly stood up, raised one hand high, and said loudly: "Sir, I have something to say!"
Jiao Juncai shouted: "Sit down, it's not your turn yet!"
Xiao Ancheng still stood, raised one hand high and said loudly: "Sir, I have something to say!"
Director Li interjected in a timely manner: "Let him speak and see what he says!"
Jiao Juncai had no choice but to wave to Xiao Ancheng, "Go ahead, but keep it simple!"
Xiao Ancheng immediately said: "Thank you, sir. Chief Jiao, you just said that today is a temporary military court to try the case of our gendarmerie. Since it is a military court, we, as defendants, should have defenders."
Jiao Juncai stared at him, "Are you going to hire a lawyer?"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Sir, we are not planning to hire a lawyer. However, the brothers have recommended me as their defender to defend their actions. Sir, no matter what you ask us, I will answer it. I promise to give a concise and clear answer.
It won’t waste your time, sirs!”
Jiao Juncai turned around quickly and saw He Guixiang nodding to him.
Although he was very angry, he still said: "Okay, I'll ask the questions and you answer!"
"Yes, please ask sir."
"Defender, did your gendarmerie take advantage of checkpoints to violate military discipline and extort money from refugees?"
"Reporting to the commander, on February 20 this year, our team received an order from the commander to come to Wuhan to perform a new mission, and inspected three checkpoints in Yuexi, Luotian, and Huangpi along the way. During the inspection of the checkpoints, our team discovered that the Japanese
We have traced the spies' traces and followed them along the way. There is no extortion of refugees, and there is no violation of military discipline! Please check, sir!"
"We checked! We found a large amount of money in your gendarmerie, how do you explain it!"
"Sir, please listen to my explanation. I judge that the money you are talking about should be divided into three parts. The first part is on the 6th of this month. Our team was ordered to go to the investigation office for a meeting. At this meeting, the headquarters staff
The commander ordered us to hand over all the money we had. According to my memory, Li Xuanzhi from our team handed over thirteen yuan and a half, Yang Sanqiang from our team handed over twenty-five yuan and a dime, and Zhang Xiao from our team handed over
The money was nine yuan and eight cents..."
Next, he reported the money each team member handed over.
13-23
Everyone in the venue opened their mouths in surprise. Some people quickly wrote down numbers in their notebooks.
Liao Ruolan glanced at Qiao Yanfang in front of her, and then looked at Xiao Ancheng quietly. She was very worried about them.
Xiao Ancheng finally said: "On this day, the members of our team handed over a total of 455 yuan and 5 cents. The commander should have a list of this amount. Please check it."
Jiao Juncai turned over the case file in his hand and said: "You said this is the first part, what other parts are there, tell me!"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Sir, when our team members handed over all their money in the conference room of the Investigation Bureau, someone searched our team's residence and confiscated all their personal money!"
When he said this, he hesitated a little. Although he and Chen Zifeng vaguely guessed that there was nothing wrong with the money from Leng Yue's words as a defender, this was just a guess! Therefore, he did not dare to disclose this part of the money.
So accurate. He even wanted to make the amount larger!
He continued: "Sir, I don't know how much money was confiscated from our team members. However, they are all members of our team and we get along day and night. I have an idea of how much money each team member has."
.I judge that the average amount per person is about 60 yuan. Therefore, this part of the money is about 800 yuan. There may be some discrepancies, but it will not be huge. I believe the commander also has a list of this part of the money. Please
Check, sir."
Jiao Juncai looked through the case file again, raised his head and said: "You said that the average person has about sixty yuan, which is not a small number! Please explain to me how there is so much money!"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Sir, I can explain briefly. On January 17 this year, our team was ordered to escort the Hongyuan cargo ship to transport a shipment of medicines from Shanghai to Wuhan. Therefore, the members of our team brought all their
We saved up and left Shanghai. But when the ship arrived at Liujiadu, our team received an order from our superiors to participate in the National Army's operations in Anhui, so we disembarked at Liujiadu. However, our team's participation in the operations in Anhui was a temporary mission. The National Army's 10th
The First Army Group did not pay us any salary. On February 20, our team received a new order to come to Wuhan to perform new tasks and was assigned to the Wuhan Police Command’s Investigation Division. On the 2nd of this month, the Investigation Division not only paid us
The salary for March was paid, and the salary for February was supplemented at the same time. Therefore, the cash in the hands of our team members will be more! Please check, sir!"
Jiao Juncai said: "Even if I give you two months' salary back, it won't be this much!"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Sir, there are thirteen officers and soldiers in our team, including five officers and eight non-commissioned officers. According to the national army salary, the monthly salary of non-commissioned officers ranges from 8 to 10 yuan. The monthly salary of second lieutenants is 15 yuan, and the monthly salary of lieutenants is 18 yuan.
, there are more captains, and the monthly salary is 25 yuan. The monthly salary for two months is doubled on this basis, plus the previous savings, so there is so much. Please check, sir."
Jiao Juncai looked through the file again, raised his head and said, "What is the third part you are talking about!"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Sir, the third part is public funds, which is our team's activity funds. Our team's monthly activity funds are 350 yuan. It was also paid together with each person's salary on the 2nd of this month. At the same time
The activity funds for February have been reissued. Therefore, this part of the public funds should be more than 800 yuan, because there is still a balance from the past. Sir, the total of these three parts of money should be around 2,000 yuan. Please check, sir."
Jiao Juncai looked through the file for the third time and looked back at He Guixiang.
He Guixiang immediately leaned over and said to Commander-in-Chief Ye Peng and Division Chief Li Chengguo: "Sir, it's getting late. Would it be better to try again tomorrow?"
Ye Peng didn't wait for Director Li to speak, and immediately said: "That's fine, we will try again at this time tomorrow!"
He Guixiang stood up and said loudly: "This temporary military court is temporarily adjourned and will be tried again at this time tomorrow!"
