The office is on the second floor. Standing on the corridor on the second floor, you can clearly see the situation inside the atom. <Binghuo#中文 www..com The wall of the courtyard facing the street is a wrought iron railing, which is covered with people watching the excitement - basically all indigenous people, and the naturalized people are not so free.
The traditional social and cultural society is extremely poor, and viewing, interrogation and beheading are popular entertainment activities for the masses. Since the arrival of the Australians, the pleasure of watching a trial has disappeared - the court only talks, does not use boards or clamps, and is much less enjoyable to watch. As for the exciting activities of beheading, there is no such thing as beheading. Although the Australians also The death penalty is carried out in public, but the person is simply hung on a shelf, pulls the springboard and falls down. The death row inmate is hung upright without even having time to kick his legs and struggle. The irritation is far less irritating than the blood spurting out when the person's head falls to the ground.
Fortunately the shortfall was made up for by canings carried out in public every day in the Magistrates' Courts. There are crowds of people outside the prison yard of the Magistrate's Court every day.
Based on her mission, it was not an exaggeration to ask for a list of the prisoners in all the cases heard today, but she felt that it was better not to take the risk. She would know it by herself. Anyway, the caning that is carried out in public every day ends before noon. As long as you pay attention, it is easy to see if Xin Nachun is there.
At this moment, spectators have gathered outside the iron railings. Li Yongxun turned his attention to the wooden platform in the middle of the yard. A torture rack was installed on it to restrain the prisoner's limbs and body. A prisoner had just been unhooked from above, his lower body was exposed, and he was being held up by two policemen. He was stumbling and breathing heavily in pain. His buttocks and thighs were dripping with blood, the whip marks were cracked, and his skin was rolled up, making it look like flesh and blood. Vague.
Li Yongxun didn't feel strange, this was just child's play to her. Don't look at the blood. In fact, the injury was not serious. I went to Runshitang to buy some medicine and rested for a few days.
Suddenly she heard a commotion, and the crowd outside seemed to become excited, pointing and whispering. The people who had already looked bored suddenly became energetic and looked toward the platform.
Li Yongxun knew that the next person to be executed must be a female prisoner, so the crowd of onlookers suddenly became enthusiastic - just like the rape case always attracted the largest number of onlookers during the trial at the Yamen.
Judging from the enthusiasm of the response, most of the female prisoners executed were young women. She paced around pretending to be bored, and sure enough, two policewomen came out of the house, holding a woman with a plump figure. He was about 20 years old. He was not tied up and had no other restraints except the rope hanging from his collar. Li Yongxun was startled and put a collar on his neck. It is a mandatory mark for "non-national" women engaged in "customary industry".
Is Xin Nachun a "non-national"? Li Yongxun became nervous.
Under the rule of the Senate, there was no such thing as untouchables. The people who came across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether they were purified and converted, were not considered good or bad.
But under the rule of the Senate there was a peculiar product of "non-nationals".
Most of these non-citizens were born after the Qiongzhou security war, and some were the product of coastal bandit suppression. To put it simply, they are "bandits".
Although the elders claim to "do not harm their families" and "do not get involved", this is only from a legal perspective. There is no such thing as beheading an entire family, beheading a man and turning a woman into a prostitute. But it is inevitable to enter another book.
Although there is no explicit policy to discriminate against them, there are restrictions on "non-nationals" in various internal controls. Moreover, the police and the Political Security Bureau monitor and manage them very strictly. Therefore, most "non-nationals" are at the bottom of society. Many young women are engaged in custom industries.
If Xin Nachun is a "non-national", the possibility of her being a bait is very small. Generally speaking, the Political Security Bureau will not use people with "historical problems". but. It's hard to say, the identity may be fake - even if it is real, using a prostitute to handle the case is no big deal.
The policewoman brought her to the stage, untied the rope, and asked her to stand facing the square. Then a policewoman picked up the loudspeaker and read out the verdict in her hand.
Li Yongxun stood a little further away. I didn't hear it very clearly, but I also heard the words "Xin Na Chun" and "Custom Industry Self-Operation". She held her breath - now that she was being brought out for sentencing. The caning must be carried out next, so it is unlikely that this person is the bait.
The female inspector opened the yoke board - there were three holes in the yoke board. It is used to lock the prisoner's head and hands. Once closed and locked, the prisoner cannot move at all and can only bend down in a torture posture. Xin Nachun tried to struggle, but was immediately scolded. Then it was locked up.
A man wearing a police uniform but without an armed belt walked up the steps with a whip and walked directly behind Xin Nachun. With a wave of his hand, Xin Nachun's clothes were torn off, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and people's necks suddenly stretched.
Li Yongxun's throat felt dry for a while. It was not uncommon for her to torture female prisoners. She had also seen a lot of men's sex, but it was all in a secret room, where her clothes were stripped off in public, and her secrets were exposed. Even if you are a prostitute, it is an extremely shameful thing.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty yamen, when a prisoner is tortured with a cane, the female prisoner may not take off her underwear to preserve her dignity. However, prostitutes and female prisoners involved in adultery were not included. However, the court trial is still far away from the crowd watching the trial, not to mention that people are lying on their stomachs. If they are not standing like this, being tortured is like an exhibition.
The first whip came down hard, causing Xin Nachun's face to convulse. Let out a short scream. She took a few steps and changed her angle, and she could clearly see Xin Nachun's buttocks - she didn't have any special hobbies, she just wanted to observe whether it was a real spanking. There is already a purple-black raised ridge on the skin: this is definitely a real beating, not a trick of "touching the tip of the stick to the ground" - this kind of cheating cannot be hidden from her. Since it is a real beating, there is a possibility that Xin Nachun is the bait. A few points less.
The most important thing is that with this whipping method, after fifty lashes, Xin Nachun's buttocks will definitely be left with "wounds". The so-called "banhua" refers to the scars left after being beaten with a cane. If a woman has bruises on her buttocks, it is tantamount to announcing that she has committed adultery. Even if she is a good person, no one may want her. If she was making fish bait for the Australians, the price would be too high.
Now Li Yongxun felt a little confused: Since it wasn't fishing bait, why did she go to the embankment to "illegally solicit customers" at the risk of such a crime? Although my cousin-in-law is a popular figure and often goes to and from the brothel, he has never been involved in secret prostitution. It is reasonable to go to Kawara Street to enjoy the "big sword" of Australia, but it is absolutely impossible to hook up with a street girl.
Could it be that she was just in a daze to seduce Lin Ming? Li Yongxun muttered secretly in his heart. At this moment, someone suddenly called her from behind:
"Comrade trainee associate coordinator!"
Li Yongxun's thoughts were interrupted. She quickly turned around and saw Zuo Yamei:
"What's up?"
"I want to ask you a question."
Li Yongxun returned to the office, and the two continued to discuss work until the work of the Magistrate Court was over. They processed all the paperwork together, and then returned to the police station together.
There was no overtime notice in the evening, so Li Yongxun stayed in the office for a while to finish the matters at hand. In fact, her purpose was to wait for the evening public security report: everything was business as usual, and nothing related to Lin Ming could happen. She felt a little calmer. It seemed that the Political Security Bureau had not targeted him yet.
When she returned to the dormitory, she saw Zuo Yamei dressing up. Her hairstyle is purely "Australian style", her hair is flowing but not messy at all. She doesn't know what method is used. Li Yongxun only knows that she disappears for half a day every week, and then comes back with her hair "renewed", which makes her I feel a bit "mysterious" about this Zuo Yami.
As for the "Women's College of Arts and Sciences" - she herself attended the police class in Fangcaodi for a year, and had never heard of such a school in Lingao. These graduates from the "College of Arts and Sciences" suddenly appeared last year and filled various departments. No one knew about this school before.
The students in this school not only have the best appearance, but also are elegant and generous in their manners and manners - not shy and reserved like a boudoir daughter, but they reveal an indescribable "temperament" in every word and deed. Li Yongxun has a small inferiority complex from time to time.
In addition, their clothing and accessories often have things that others don’t have and can’t be bought on the street. Therefore, there are rumors that the students in the College of Arts and Sciences are actually the daughters of the "chief". However, those naturalized citizens who have come into contact with the "little elders" in the Academy said that although they are somewhat similar, they are different.
To say that the ones who are really similar should be said to be the maids of the chiefs. However, it is a bit inappropriate to connect the two. Furthermore, it is dangerous to discuss the people around the leader in depth, so no one went into it further.
Li Yongxun worked as an errand in his family and knew that "people who are errands always have to keep their mouths shut", so he never participated in such discussions. However, this does not mean that she does not have any doubts about Zuo Yamei and her classmates. They would disappear legally for days at a time, with the official reason being "business trips." But Li Yongxun knew that they were not on a business trip at all - every time Zuo Yamei came back from a "business trip", she was "radiant" and not at all "traveled".
"You want to go out so late?" Li Yongxun was a little surprised.
"Well, at short notice, I'm on a business trip tonight." Zuo Yami tilted her head and brushed her hair quickly with a hairbrush, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
After Zuo Yamei finished speaking, she put on the "Australian clothes" hanging beside the bed. Li Yongxun originally thought this outfit was a bit strange, but this time he couldn't help but secretly envy: It's so beautiful! (To be continued)
