"Minister Ding, do you want to ask me, how many of these people are actors?" Mu Min said.
Ding Ding coughed: "The instigator has no consequences? The effect of inciting public opinion is naturally good, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Lingquan, who was originally protected by the police on the stage, suddenly fell off the stage for some reason. The people below became even more crazy when they saw their enemy falling. They all rushed forward to tear Gao Lingquan's flesh apart. In an instant, the cordon was broken through and Gao Ling was swallowed up beneath the crowd. Mu Min picked up the walkie-talkie: "I am No. 1! Protect Gao Lingquan!"
She gave the order, and the bayonets of the White Horse team in the audience were unsheathed. The bright bayonets formed an array and instantly forced the violent crowd back. Several policemen quickly dragged out Gao Ling who was lying limp on the ground and brought him back to the stage.
At this moment, he was no longer human, his face was swollen and his mouth was bleeding. His hair was completely torn, and more than a dozen strands of hair were torn off from his head. It was like a scabies-like head full of bald spots, and the scalp was torn off in some places, dripping with blood. His clothes had been completely torn into strips of cloth, one arm was hanging down, obviously broken, and his hands were dripping with blood. If you look carefully, several fingers had been bitten off.
Although this was not the first time he had attended such a "struggle meeting", Ding Ding was still shocked by Gao Lingquan's tragic situation.
After being dragged to the stage, it was unclear whether he was too frightened or had some internal injuries. Gao Lingquan was like a dead dog, slumped on the ground and unable to stand.
There was an uproar on stage and off stage, and it became increasingly chaotic.
Liang Xinhu kept shouting for silence on the stage, and finally managed to lower his voice a little, but the atmosphere below was still fierce.
Mu Min quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Liang Yuan! Judge him quickly! We can't let him die in the hands of the masses!"
Allowing Gao Lingquan to be killed by the people is certainly a relief, has a strong comedy effect and has great publicity value. But this is equivalent to the Senate recognizing that lynching is legal, which will seriously shake the legal foundation of the Senate. Of course Liang Xinhu understood this truth. If the people were beaten to death and then held legally responsible, it would be a lose-lose situation. He hurriedly turned the volume of the loudspeaker to the maximum and read the verdict loudly: According to the multiple rapes and molestations of women, He was convicted and sentenced to death for the two crimes of extremely serious circumstances and intentional injury resulting in death.
As soon as the verdict came out, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Another person wanted to climb up the stage and grab Gao Lingquan. Liang Xinhu ordered the White Horse Team to clear the way with bayonets. Several policemen hurriedly raised Gao Lingquan and walked to the gallows.
At this time, Gao Lingquan had no reaction and was at the mercy of others. Several policemen quickly put the noose around his neck, only to hear the flap door slam. The whole place burst into cheers. People still felt that they could not vent their anger and rushed to the gallows again. Those who were so injured that they couldn't breathe would be cut into pieces with knives and axes brought in advance. The National Army forced them back with bayonets.
There were people crying and laughing, and it was chaos. Some people set off firecrackers and burned paper money. The prisoners awaiting trial in the audience all had expressionless faces, and several of the people who had "become a good man again after eighteen years" also began to twitch on their faces - with this attitude, as long as the Australians relaxed even a little bit, they would be eaten alive!
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Mu Min immediately used the walkie-talkie to call the navy sailors on standby to come in and maintain order. At the same time, he ordered that no one was allowed to go out but no one was allowed to enter. Evacuate a group of frail, elderly women and children on the spot.
Zeng Juan squatted on the top of the mound and watched this thrilling scene. This was the first time he had seen such a scene. He felt novel and vaguely felt an incredible power: the common people are not just prey! As long as someone takes the lead, amazing energy can burst out.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, even if you beat me to death, I won't leave... Husband--" Suddenly, a shrill cry came to his ears, and he was frightened. Under the mound, I saw two policemen pulling a woman who was wearing mourning and holding a spiritual tablet in her hand.
She must have fallen down once, and her filial piety clothes were covered with dirt and stains, as well as trampled footprints. She was covered in sweat and her face was horribly red. Crying: "I won't go out! I won't go out! I want to see Mo Rongxin, this thief, die -"
The policeman was also sweating and advised: "You are a single woman. If you fell just now and were not trampled to death, you are lucky! If you have any grievances, the chief will avenge you. If you fall again, you will be dead!" He also said What revenge..."
"I'm willing to die! I beg you two gentlemen to show your respect!" The woman firmly refused. Zeng Juan saw her holding the memorial tablet and pleading, and he felt compassion and moved his body to the side, saying : "Two comrades police! Let this eldest sister come up and sit down. It's safe here and you won't fall." After that, he said to the woman: "Sister, if you don't mind, just squeeze in here."
The woman thanked him and quickly climbed up and sat down next to Zeng Juan. When the police saw that she had a stable place, they no longer mobilized her to go out.
"Thank you, little brother!"
"You're welcome." Zeng Juan wanted to "defend men and women" and because the other party was a widow, so he didn't talk to her much and turned his attention to the trial stage.
Here, the prisoners in the audience were escorted to the stage one after another. After the previous interrogation and execution, the crowd's emotions had been aroused. Every time a prisoner came on stage, the whole audience shouted "Death penalty!" Later, I couldn't even hear the charges being read out clearly, and before the prosecutor even opened his mouth, there was a roar of "death penalty". Every prisoner who was "verified and executed" fell from the flap door with a bang, and the whole audience burst into cheers. This murderous enthusiasm also infected the elders on the stage, and the speed of Liang Xinhu's trial was obviously accelerated.
"Don't be led by the emotions on the field, come one by one!" Mu Min constantly used the walkie-talkie on the podium to convey orders and control the rhythm and emotions.
The fifteenth person to be brought to the stage was Mo Rongxin. He was arrested just a week ago - he had been on the surveillance list long before the plague broke out. To be honest, he still couldn't figure out why he was arrested until he was arrested. In Mo Rongxin's view, the Australians wanted to persecute him because they just took a fancy to Wenlan Academy's property. Although the pain of losing this fortune will be painful to the bone, as long as the Australian takes a hint, he is by no means a person who does not know how to advance or retreat. As for his marriage with the Gao family, he could just ask his son to divorce Gao Tianshi's daughter.
Unexpectedly, the Australians unceremoniously served his entire family. Mo Rongxin was dizzy and could not recover, so he was thrown into prison and tortured. Only then did he realize: the Australians were trying to dig out his roots!
Numerous questions and trivial past events were brought up one after another - some things had been so long ago that he could no longer remember them at all, and he had to be reminded by the interrogator before he could roughly recall them. Secondly.
Originally, he was still somewhat lucky that he was not directly involved in the witchcraft case. He felt that the Australians were just coveting his property. However, when the interrogator put in front of him confessions related to his past evil deeds, At the time, Mo Rongxin knew that he could not escape - the Australians wanted to settle the score with him.
He tried sophistry, denial, and pretending to be crazy. However, in the end, he could not withstand the severe torture of the Australians. Mo Rongxin still confessed, including his relationship with the Jin gentry over the years and how much he had done for the Jin gentry. Dirty things... Perhaps because he was desperate for the future of himself and his family, Mo Rongxin was madly biting every gentry in Guangzhou. Whether it was true or just "rumours", various scandals were spread all over the place. All told. The harvest was far greater than Mu Min's imagination.
Zeng Juan nodded secretly when he heard the words "Mo Rongxin". This old boy is not a good guy either!
Mo Rongxin controlled Wenlan Academy for many years, and it was well known in Guangzhou that he ate meat himself and gave the scholars water to drink. It was only when the prosecutor began to read out his charges that Zeng Juan realized that what he knew was only superficial - Mo Rongxin was not just a greedy academy master, but a villain with many lives on his hands.
When the prosecutor read about the case in which Mo Rongxin instigated a gambler to trick Wang Xiucai into gambling, and his wife He, which eventually led to Wang Xiucai's suicide, suddenly the filial woman beside him stood up and said loudly: "I am Wang He! The dressed-up beast forced my husband-in-law to death and sold me to a brothel as a prostitute!"
Because the mound was a little far away from the trial platform, He Xi shouted with all his strength, his voice was shrill and his eyes were cracked. It's like a fierce ghost is asking for his life. She raised the memorial tablet and said, "Mo Rongxin! You have today too! Look at this memorial tablet... He has come to take you..." After saying this, he laughed wildly, making Zeng Juan break out in rashes all over his body.
When she shouted, there was a commotion in the venue, and all the sufferers started to cry. More than a dozen scholars from Wenlan Academy also roared in the audience. Some of them were friends of Scholar Wang, and some had protested because they were dissatisfied with the benefits of the academy being misappropriated in the past. There is no deep hatred between them and Mo Rongxin, but in the past few years in the academy, Mo Rongxin has controlled the affairs of the academy, done evil and favored people... All their hopes of studying and progressing have been shattered. This hatred is not necessarily less than that of He Xi. Immediately afterwards, the crowd's emotions, which had just calmed down, were once again ignited, and bricks and stones rained down on Mo Rongxin.
Liang Xinhu saw that the situation was not good and quickly pronounced the sentence. The police immediately dragged Mo Rongxin, who was shaking like chaff, off the stage and to the gallows.
He Xi ignored the crowds of people in front of her. She didn't know where she got the strength to hold the memorial tablet and squeezed through the crowd with all her strength. The crowd, either out of sympathy or frightened by her determined gaze, took the initiative to part ways, allowing her to squeeze in front of the gallows. The noose was tied around Mo Rongxin's neck.
