Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 312

He led Acton back to the hut, put away the bag of gold first, and then sat on the stool in a daze.

What a misstep and eternal hatred!He knew that he was stuck in the mud right now, but he had no power to recover.

Acton took a chance to think that since they could buy him with a lot of money, they would not kill the donkey.This is like a domestic slave bringing in a foreign thief and stealing things from the master's house in partnership. The reason why the foreign thief would share the spoils with the domestic slave is because the foreign thief is afraid that the line will be broken from now on, and there will be nothing to steal in the future.

How did I meet Xie Anhua in the first place?Thinking of this, Acton couldn't help shivering.that was eight years ago
When Acton met Xie Anhua, it was his most unlucky day.In that year, Gao Pu, the Minister of the Counselor of Yarkand, was exposed because of the case of enslaving Uyghur people to mine jade privately; in the end Gao Pu was punished, and Akton, who followed Gao Pu, also lost his job.

After returning to the capital, Acton, who had nothing to do, haunted Xianggongtang and casinos all day long.Once, relying on his own waist to tie a red belt, he insisted on betting 300 taels of silver on a treasure game, but he was defeated and lost.This is broken, Acton can't afford so much cash at all.

It is said that those who dare to open a casino in the capital may be covered by some prince or minister. They don't care about the run-down clan of Acton at all;

In order to avoid debts, the desperate Acton began to hide in Tibet, and he didn't dare to go home until midnight.One afternoon a month later, when he entered the city from Dongzhimen and turned around the North Official Hall, he happened to be blocked by a creditor who was leading someone looking for him.As soon as the creditor saw him, he became very angry, and made a move with a few words.In the end, not only did Acton have a bruised nose and face, but also forced him to sell the house to pay off the debt.

Acton had no choice but to tell his forgiveness that the real estate in his home was a reward from the late emperor to his ancestors, and he really didn't dare to sell it for cash.Just as the two sides were fighting, Semyon Kiselevsky, who was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket and a fake braid on his head, came out of the north hall to try to persuade them to fight.

He heard the quarrel outside in the yard, and heard the identity of Acton's red belt, so he came out to take a look when he thought about it.After some persuasion, Xie Anhua finally paid the gambling debts for Acton and ended the mess.

Since then, Acton has been grateful to Xie Anhua, and the relationship between the two has become increasingly close.Afterwards, Xie Anhua never mentioned the matter of repaying the money. Instead, before Acton left for Jilin two years later, he specially gave him another 200 taels of silver.

Six years have passed. During this period, Acton has gradually developed, from a Xiaoqi school to a co-leader.Sometimes he often thinks of Xie Anhua, thinking that Father Luocha is really a good person.

But today he finally understands that there is never any benefit for no reason in this world; even if there is, it will be doubled in the end.

"My lord? My lord?"

The note-like call awakened Acton from his memory. He let out an "ah" and saw a dark figure standing at the cabin door holding a lantern. Acton hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's getting dark, I will light the lamp for you." After saying that, he stepped forward, lit the candles on the small table with the candle in the lantern, and then retreated.

On the banks of the Heilongjiang River at night, the candlelights on the fishing boats are like stars in the sky.Normally, Acton would boil a small jug of wine, sit on the boat and drink by himself, watching the scenery, leisurely; but now he is not in the mood at all.He got up and walked to the cabin door to lower the curtain, and when he turned around to pour tea, he found that the water in the teapot was already cold.Acton hesitated for a moment, then poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it down.He took down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the small shelf in the cabin, sharpened the ink impatiently, and lowered his head by the candlelight to write.

On the river bank more than 200 steps away from the boat, Serdan and Wukanbei were sitting in front of the campfire, whispering about the scene they saw in the afternoon.

"You said he was a Sauron, how could he be so familiar with the co-leader?"

Wu Kanbei said: "Did you hear what they said clearly?"

Seldan said with some distress: "They speak Mongolian, and I didn't understand a single word."

Wu Kanbei said: "Hey? When that Aimorigen came here during the day, he spoke Manchu fluently. Do you think he is a servant?"

Serdan is from Kulkaqi, and has lived near Hunchun for generations. Even if he took refuge in Beihai Town, his scope of activities is still in the Ninggu Tower and Hunchun area, and his daily language is Manchu.The Sauron Department belongs to the Heilongjiang General's jurisdiction, which is thousands of miles away.Especially in the border areas along the Irtysh River, where the frontier residents speak Mongolian.

As for Wukanbei, let alone, he was born as a Hezhe fisherman at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and he can't speak Mongolian at all.

Seldan shook his head and said, "It's hard to tell." He suddenly turned his head and asked Saharian, who was smoking a cigarette, "Old village chief, do you know Rafkai?"

Sahalian puffed out smoke, recalled it for a while and said: "I heard that it used to be the place of the Daur people. Rafkai is actually a personal name. I heard it from my Ama when I was a child, when I was the Lord Shunzhi."

From Sahalian's mouth, Serdan and Ukanbe learned that more than 150 years ago, the Daur leader Lafkai built five castles on the east bank of the Irtysh River.The first is the city of Rafkai, which is also the residence of the chief; the second is the famous city of Yaksa, which was also called Albasi city at that time.Later, the Rakshasa invaded, and the Daur people were really unable to defeat them, so many people moved south to live in the area around the city of Mergen.

In fact, the reason why Seldan was entangled in this matter was mainly due to the outburst of the hunter's nature.Whether it is Rafkai or Sanxing City, they are too far away from Beihai Town. Right now, what he is most concerned about is whether he can rush back to Fuldan City after the wheat harvest, so as to participate in the long-awaited exercise.

At the end of June, the Fuldan murder case finally ushered in the final trial.

In the past, Beihai Town's illegal personnel were dealt with directly by the public security police. They were either sent to Solenji Island as coolies in the gold mines, or sent to Ezo as coolies in the coal mines; or they were locked up in the police station for a few days.This time it won't work, this is a murder case, and the impact is extremely bad.Killing always pays with life, this is the most simple concept of ordinary people.

Originally, what Zhao Xin meant was that the main culprit should be shot immediately, and all the accomplices should be sent to the coal mines in Ezo.This case involves both the military and the civilians, but it is still mainly about the military.

But after hearing what Wang Zhong said, Zhou Weiguo, the deputy leader of the drafting team, went to Fuerdan City and told Zhao Xin that we need to establish a judicial trial system, and we can no longer judge policemen at will based on their personal likes and dislikes.Now everyone is still relying on you for food, so even if you have complaints in your heart, you dare not say it. Maybe something will go wrong sooner or later. Why not use this opportunity to set up a trial system.

In fact, Wang Zhong’s original words are quoting from "Mozi Fayi". Those who are engaged in the world must not be unable to perform rituals.The speaker has no intention but the listener does. Wang Zhong's words inspired Zhou Weiguo.

Ever since Wang Zhong was employed as the vice principal of Beihai Town Primary School, Zhou Weiguo has been half unemployed.How can he, a Chinese teacher from a modern normal school, compare with a great scholar like Wang Zhong?When someone randomly quoted a passage from the classics, Mr. Zhou was completely confused.

Seeing that the cross-travelers in Beihai Town began to dominate the leaders of all walks of life one by one, Zhou Weiguo decided to find another way. If we can't play science and technology, and the education department is coming again, then we will dominate the judiciary, which is still unpopular at present. Mouth it.

Zhao Xin listened to Zhou Weiguo's suggestion and said that I don't have the time to worry about this, why don't you come?

Zhou Weiguo said then I will come.So he took care of the court, public prosecution and trial procedures, and the first judge of Beihai Town took office.

The court in Fuldan City is located in a large wooden house in the town hall, which is also the place where the town hall convenes residents' representatives for meetings on weekdays.Right now, there are more than [-] resident representatives sitting behind the wooden fence in the arena, including the family members of the soldier who was killed, and several families from the resident group where Widow Li was.

Several prisoners were tied up, and each of them was guarded by two security guards and stood under the judge's bench.Sitting on the judge's seat, Zhou Weiguo looked at Su Qing in the defendant's seat, that is, the one-armed female thief nicknamed "Kong Konger", and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief!"

The people downstairs were in a commotion, Zhou Weiguo tapped a specially made wooden hammer on a wooden board, cleared his throat, and said, "Today, the court will be held to hear the murder case of the hospital and Widow Li's mother and daughter, and now the public prosecutor will make a statement. "

"What are you still talking about! I found out that it was Guo Xing'a who did it with this woman, and the master can just sentence him directly."

"That's right, cut off their heads!"

"Take it off and throw it in the river to soak the pig cage!" As soon as the words came out, some people's eyes began to shine.stripped.
"Five horses split corpses~~"

"Cut in half!"

"Crack! Crack!" Zhou Weiguo hit the hammer and said loudly, "Anyone who talks nonsense will be kicked out of the court and fined one yuan!"

Good guy!When they heard that they would be fined one yuan silver coin, the common people in the audience fell silent.

Zhou Weiguo repeated it again, and Yonejiro, who was the prosecutor, stood up, picked up the dossier and began to read the scriptures.I read this thought for more than an hour, and when Yonejiro closed the file with dry mouth, he thought to himself, what a mother, this is more tiring than arresting people!
At this time, Zhou Weiguo asked the family members of the injured soldiers: "Do you have any questions?"

The victim's parents knelt down, kowtowed and cried, "I beg the master to take revenge for my son!"

A group of ordinary people also knelt down and kowtowed: "I beseech the Lord Qingtian to be the master!"

"Crack! Crack!" Zhou Weiguo tapped the wooden hammer twice, and said kindly, "Get up, get up quickly."

When everyone got up and just sat down, they heard a security guard suddenly shouted: "Everyone stand up!"

A group of ordinary people looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking what is going on here?
I saw Zhou Weiguo stood up, picked up a piece of paper in a serious manner, and said in his mouth: "This court pronounces the sentence now!"

Since the opening of the court in the morning, thousands of people have gathered outside the town office, all waiting for the result of this "opening of the court".It was almost noon, but there was still no news from inside, and the onlookers were all chattering about the murderer's method of death.One said sinking the river, the other said beheading, and some said it would be better to behead, so that he could buy a personal blood steamed bun.

As soon as this remark came out, a group of people immediately despised it: "You can tell that you are a newcomer as soon as you hear this! What kind of bloody steamed buns don't work at all!"

The man who bought blood steamed buns said humanely: "I heard the old people in the village say so, blood steamed buns can cure tuberculosis (consumption disease)."

"It's called superstition! If you have tuberculosis, just go to the hospital and get some injections."

"I, I look at that needle creepily."

"Needles scare people, but beheading doesn't scare people? You man, why are you talking nonsense!"

While arguing, someone saw two security policemen walking out surrounded by a town office clerk.The clerk held a sticky white paper notice with both hands, and strode towards the notice board with strides.

"Sentenced! Sentenced!"

As soon as these words came out, thousands of people rushed towards the bulletin board, and many illiterate people hurriedly asked literate people to help read the content on the notice.

"Announcement of Judgment is hereby"

As soon as that person read the beginning, the others said: "If you don't listen to me before, hurry up and talk about the sentence!"

"The first offenders, Su Qing and Guo Xing'a, are sentenced to death and will be executed immediately."

With a bang, the crowd erupted.Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of idlers who eat melons, especially in this era of lack of entertainment.So although beheading is scary, it can't hold back the excitement.Besides, throwing rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and so on is quite enjoyable.

A literati of the Qing Dynasty named Yu Yue in later generations recorded such a thing in his notes: "When I heard that a prisoner was flogged in the hall, and the sound of crying pain, it was a woman, and everyone tended to watch it, and pulled it out. All the rest go." When a group of people went there excitedly, they found that the execution was not a spanking but a slap on the mouth, so the idlers "returned angrily".

"Where is where?"

"It's not written on it."

It is said that Beihai Town has not executed any prisoners yet, so everyone does not know what place outside the city will be selected as the execution ground.When the onlookers were guessing, they only heard two gunshots suddenly came from the north of the city, and after a while, there was another shot.

After a while, when the crowd was looking at each other, a security policeman came out of the police station and said to them, "Let's go! The murderer has been shot."

In Zhao Xin's office, when he heard gunshots coming from a distance, Chen Jishan held the phone for a few times, and then put down the phone and said to Zhao Xin: "My lord, the execution has been completed."

"Ah~~ It's finally over." Zhao Xin waved his hand, signaling Chen Jishan to go out, and then leaned his head on the back of the chair.

After Chen Jishan went out and closed the door, a pair of catkins stretched out from behind the chair and gently rubbed Zhao Xin's head.

"I was too busy a few days ago, and I was in a hurry to get angry, and it's all over." Zhao Xin raised his arms and hugged her back while talking.

Shen Xuan didn't hide, let Zhao Xin hold her, and said softly: "You are not a few years ago now, 10,000+ people are pointing at you, and you still don't care about your body. Originally, I was relieved that A Miao followed you It's good for you to throw her in Beihai Town again. When she heard that you were sick, she burst into tears."

Zhao Xin closed his eyes and said, "Isn't there you here?"

Shen Xuan said angrily: "Tell me about the past six months, how many times have we met in total? If my mother didn't urge me to come, I wouldn't want to see you."

Zhao Xin smiled and said: "Ah Quan, the relationship between us is determined by God, we can't be separated, don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Shen Xuan pouted, her pretty face flushed slightly, she lightly patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder, and said angrily, "Talking nonsense."

While rubbing Zhao Xin's head, she hesitated for a while, and then mustered up the courage, and asked slowly: "That Miss Wang, what do you plan?"

It is said that since Shen Jingdan's wife, Shen Wu, came to Beihai Town, she has been telling Shen Xuan all day long, saying that to be a woman, she must first have both virtue, speech, appearance, and workmanship.You are about to get married, how can you still show your face all day long, quickly resign from the errands at school, and go home and wait for marriage to be serious.

Shen Xuan didn't care about Shen Wu's words at first, Beihai Town was not under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, she had been depressed for these years, and now she is finally free.But I don't know why, ever since that Wang Zhenyi came to Beihai Town, especially after knowing that Zhao Xin personally ordered Xu Dayong to tie her here, Shen Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Wang Zhenyi was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, needless to say about her appearance, and she can mount a horse-drawn bow, dismount a horse to learn, capable of both literature and martial arts.As far as Shen Xuan knows these days, Wang Zhenyi is quite talented in arithmetic. The reason why she went to Xu Dayong's Zhuangzi at the beginning was to see Zhao Xin for advice on arithmetic.

Comparing the two sides, Shen Xuan has some inferiority complex; whether it is Dongtai Shen's family or Shen Jingdan's family, one is a scholar and the other is just a businessman.Her personality is actually very sensitive. Although she doesn't care about many things on the surface, she is always careful when doing things and speaking, and always thinks about things. This has a lot to do with her precarious life for many years.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Xuan only heard a soft snoring sound, and then saw that Zhao Xin had already fallen asleep.Seeing Zhao Xin sleeping, Shen Xuan sighed, turned around and took a blanket from the side to cover Zhao Xin, and then went out lightly.

Zhao Xin didn't stop snoring until he heard Shen Xuan going out, and opened his eyes.He clutched his cheeks in some distress. Recently, he was too angry, his tonsils were inflamed, and his back molars were also hurting.

When Shen Xuan asked, he had actually thought about it, because he didn't know how to face it, so he stayed in Fuldan City and didn't return to Beihai Town.Do you want to tell Wang Zhenyi yourself, girl, if you don't stay with me, you can only live until 29.How did he say that?
Outside the house, as soon as Shen Xuan left the yard, a young man in his early twenties came over and asked Shen Xuan eagerly: "Cousin, have you told your lord?"

Shen Xuan was a little irritable, she didn't like to take care of this kind of thing, but when Shen Wu asked her, she could only ask her.She shook her head and said to the young man: "Third cousin, I will mention your matter to him when we have dinner tonight. But I can't decide whether to agree or not."

The young man cupped his hands and said, "As long as my cousin can help to mention a word, I will be grateful to my brother."
