The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 34 Trial Conference and Expansion

Since the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, ordinary criminals have been executed in very fixed places, which are popular markets, such as the busiest Caishikou.

As for why it is called "Cai Shi Kou", its function is that it is a place where people usually buy vegetables. There is a huge flow of people there and many people are seen, which can act as a deterrent.

Another reason is that ancient people were more superstitious and believed that "Cai Shi Kou" was very popular and executed prisoners would not easily turn into ghosts.

Due to the large number of executions held in "Caishikou", it has become synonymous with "execution ground" since the Qing Dynasty.

May 18, 1930

Today is the day when Andong County holds a trial meeting for "Bei Batian", "Big Golden Tooth" Ma Xingkun and others at "Cai Shi Kou".

The trial conference was proposed by Wei Yuan, who believed that it was necessary to hold a Republic of China version of "sweeping crime and eradicating evil" to show the Anton government's determination to crack down on crime and to deter lawbreakers.

So just three days ago, a notice was posted about the trial of "Bei Batian" and others at "Caishikou".

Sitting in the center of the rostrum, looking at the crowded and dark mass of heads below, the guard seat who temporarily guest-starred as the "Supervising Officer" also felt a headache.

At this moment, he finally understood the truth, that is, in this era of lack of entertainment activities, one should never underestimate the determination of the Chinese people to watch the fun.

Looking around, the entire "Caishikou" is surrounded by people. Any place on the roof, on the wall, or on the branches of a tree that can be put down is crowded with people watching the excitement.

At a glance, there must be tens of thousands of people.

In order to prevent a stampede from happening, Weiyuan ordered the cancellation of the originally planned pre-trial truck parade and sent additional manpower to maintain order. He was relieved.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and found that the pointer was already pointing to 12 o'clock. Zhang Jinghan, who was the execution officer at the scene, trotted up to Wei Yuan, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Reporting to the team, the trial conference has been prepared. Do you want to start now?"

Wei Yuan nodded and waved his hand: "Let's get started."

In front of the microphone standing on the rostrum, Zhang Jinghan picked up the prepared folder and began to call names one by one:
  "Bei Batian", male, formerly known as Qin Wangwang, was born in the 14th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. He was a native of Qinjia Village, Zhangjiakou, Zhili Province. He was originally a long-term employee of a wealthy family in the village. After his adulterous relationship with the concubine of a wealthy family was exposed, the family of 12 was wiped out. All were killed and fled to Anton. "

"After investigation, "North Tyrant" Anton went down the mountain to rob caravans and villagers more than a thousand times when he was a bandit. He also robbed no less than a hundred women from good families. More than 80% of the 52 largest households in the county were kidnapped and extorted by him, and hundreds of people died tragically. In his hands, the nature of the crime is outrageous. Not killing him is not enough to uphold the law of the country, and not killing him is not enough to anger the people. Therefore, we reported to the Chief of the Ministry of Defense for approval and decided to execute the "Northern Batian" to show the anger of the people."

As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers walked to the rostrum holding down "Bei Batian" who was tied up with five flowers and a death sign on his back. After he stood firm, one of the soldiers kicked him in the crook of his leg and said, "Bei Batian" "Ba Tian" staggered and fell to his knees on the court.

The soldier in charge of executing the execution had just picked up his rifle and was about to shoot when he saw an old woman rushing out from the audience, crying and shouting:
  "Bei Batian, you must die a good death and give my daughter her life," she cried, and was about to go forward to tear her apart, but was stopped by the soldiers who were on guard duty in front of her.

Behind the old woman, more than a dozen sufferers were also crying hoarsely to vent the depression in their hearts over the years. Many people shouted: "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes, Mr. Wei is so blue!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited, and rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and gravel were thrown at the kneeling "Bei Batian" like raindrops. Even the soldiers behind him who were responsible for escorting and executing people would have suffered unreasonable disasters. If it weren't for the fact that they were wearing Helmets are less likely to be injured in the line of duty.

Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more angry, even the soldiers of the security group who were on guard at the scene were pushed back by the angry crowd. Under the order of Zhang Jinghan, the execution officer at the scene, and after the sound of a gunshot, "Bei Batian" He fell to the ground and ended his life of sin.

"Big Golden Tooth", male, formerly known as She Wang, was born in the 18th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty and was a native of Tieling County, Fengtian.
  One after another, the bandits were escorted out with the "death card" stuck in their backs. The charges were read out, the charges were verified, and they were shot before being escorted out.
  Blood flowed all over the execution ground, and it was extremely dazzling under the sunlight. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, making the entire "Cai Shi Kou" look grim. The people at the scene who were originally watching the fun, also Shocked by the layers of corpses of bandits in front of them, many were timid and did not dare to watch. They were so frightened that they sneaked back home. The cheers at the scene became smaller and smaller, until later, the execution ground of tens of thousands of people Only the sounds of the charges being read out and the execution being carried out were left.

"Ma Xingkun, male, was born in the 17th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. He used to serve as the police chief of Andong County. During his tenure, he ignored the national laws and oppressed the common people. He set up private casinos and sold cigarettes and illegally violated the law. He even got into trouble with the people in Heigou Town. The gangsters colluded with each other in an attempt to use violent means to rob Anton's construction public funds."

When Ma Xingkun and several of his confidants were escorted out, the crowd began to get angry again. "It seems that Ma Xingkun has caused quite a lot of public outrage in Anton," Wei Yuan thought to himself.

Fengtian Marshal's Mansion

Marshal Zhang looked at the 100 kilograms of amine yellow stacked in the office and the postponed confession signed by Ma Xingkun and a group of bandits on the table, and felt a headache.

Feel free to blame them, but the Andong Security Group has indeed fulfilled its responsibility of guarding the land and bringing peace to the people. After this clearance, the entire county has been cleared of banditry.

Even the bosses of many shops in Fengtian City praised themselves in front of them: "The caravan of the company has been in Anton recently, and there is no longer any harassment by bandits. Even the previous incidents of soldiers and gangsters taking the opportunity to extort money have disappeared. Traces, praising him as a capable general and a good officer, etc."

But to praise, what kind of trial conference did Wei Yuan hold? More than 30 people were killed without asking for instructions. If it was just the bandits, they would be killed. But among the more than 30 people, one person was killed. The police chief and several of his subordinates were simply audacious.

At the moment, the police chief's brother-in-law, Fu Zongjie, the commander of the 7th Independent Division of the Northeast Army, his direct unit, is clamoring outside the door to file a complaint, shouting that he wants the young marshal to make the decision for him and avenge his wife and brother.

Marshal Zhang raised his eyes and looked at the ammonium yellow on the ground again, with a look of confusion on his face. In addition to the amino yellow that Wei Yuan had just arrived in Anton last time, another 100 kilograms were delivered this time. Even the foreign banks in Shanghai may not have the strength to make such a big deal.

As far as the efficacy of Aminoflavin is concerned, it can be called a life-saving medicine. A soldier who originally had a fever and infection that even the military doctors could not cure, after using Aminoflavor, the fever subsided the next day. After a week, the wound began to scab, and he was destined to die. But miraculously he survived, and three to five months later he was a strong soldier again.

If 100 kilograms of amine yellow is enough to consume the daily wounded soldiers of a division for a year without taking into account large-scale wars, how many lives can this save? The look on Marshal Zhang's face became even more complicated when he thought of this.

After pondering for a moment, he turned to his classmate and friend Yan Baohang, a senior staff member of the Northeast Army, and said: "Brother Yuheng, what do you think of this matter?
  Yan Baohang said with a smile: "Since the young commander already has an idea, why bother listening to what others say, which will affect his own decision-making and judgment."

Marshal Zhang also smiled: "No problem, tell me what you think!"

Yan Baohang said: "Looking at Ma Xingkun's crimes, he colluded with mountain bandits in an attempt to attack the county government, resell tobacco, and fish and meat to the common people. Any one of them would be enough to be shot. The mistake was that he executed himself privately without asking the superiors for instructions. "

"This matter can be big or small. If it is serious, we will remove him from his post and investigate. He will be punished for the crime of monopolizing power. But for a head of the security group with such strength and skill as the head of the security group, the young marshal may not be willing to part with it, hehehe. "

"At the very least, it's just a procedural issue. Just let him make an application afterwards. Isn't the captain of the Guard good at suppressing bandits? Then simply give him another number and let him eliminate all the banditry in Dandong, and then punish him. In the third year of my salary, I remember that the 100 kilograms of aminoflavonoids last time were overtaken by several division commanders because of the distribution problem. This time, we might as well allocate more to the Independent Seventh Division, so as to eliminate the banditry in the entire Andong area. I will also give an explanation to the Master Fu in terms of face."

Marshal Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good. Then, as Brother Yuheng said, give him the number of an independent security brigade. However, the official official appointment requires Brother Yuheng to go to Anton in person and then help me. Give him a good beating to prevent the bandits from going too far later."

When Wei Yuan received the telegram from Marshal Fengtian's Mansion, he was blinded. He was worried about how to find a reason to expand the security team and expand his territory to other places. He didn't think about the original security guard. The regiment was directly expanded from the designation into a security brigade, and it was responsible for the suppression of bandits in the entire Dandong area. Expansion was necessary.

As for the three years' salary mentioned in the telegram, Wei Yuan thought it was purely because this trial meeting was done without asking for permission and was deliberately used to disgust him. It's a joke. With such a big fortune, Lao Zheng lacks the money for those three years?

After calculating the time, I felt that my father and the others should be almost ready for the "Stuka" aircraft production line, and the specific auction time given by the "Christis Art Center" was within these two days, so Wei Yuan decided to go back first. Let’s talk about it later.

After temporarily handing over the daily routine of the regiment to the deputy commander Yue Weilu and telling him that he was going out on business for a few days, Wei Yuan drove his specially modified Ford sedan and brought a group of weapons seized from the bandit's lair. A large number of antiques, jewelry, jade, gold, etc., were chosen in a secluded forest outside the city. After calling up the "system", a blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant together with the Ford car, leaving only a burning Traces of dead grass.

Since it was already evening when he returned, Weiyuan used the "system" to take back the Ford sedan, released his newly purchased "Wrangler", and then drove the car toward his home.

Just when the vehicle was replaced, he discovered that after the "system" self-repair, the cargo carrying capacity had been increased from the last 30 tons to 500 tons. It seems that in the future, he can transport goods back and forth with less "crossings" "How many times, this guy bared his teeth and thought happily.

"Time travel" was a novel experience in the first few times, but for an "old driver" like Wei Yuan, it has become a daily routine, and he was forced to do manual labor. Fortunately, there was no obvious feeling during the time travel. You can also clearly feel the passage of time in the gorgeous universe. Some historical moments on the earth pass quickly in front of you like a slideshow. It is the short-term dizziness after landing, which makes people feel uncomfortable and confused. A hangover feeling.

Wei Yuan drove the "Wrangler" to the downstairs of the community and looked up through the car window. The lights in his house were still on. It was exactly what he thought. It seemed that his parents were unwilling to move to the villa in "Junlan Mansion". Go live.

When I got home, I found that my father had also got off work and was eating noodles in the living room. The fragrant and bright meat sauce, white elastic noodles, green green onions and coriander, plus a golden fried egg, looked like Extremely tempting.

Wei Yuan's appetite was greatly increased when he saw it, he swallowed his saliva, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily. Seeing that his mother was still busy in the kitchen, he shouted to the kitchen: "Mom, are there any noodles left? ?Give me a bowl too."

Later, Wei Yuan and his father each held a noodle bowl and chatted while eating garlic.

"The production line for the spiral aircraft your customer wants is ready. It will be packaged together with the installation and operating instructions and stored in the No. 1 warehouse in the factory. When is your customer going to pick it up?"

Wei Yuan nodded while eating the noodles: "The customer will send someone to pick it up within this week. Then you will pay attention to the snacks and keep confidentiality. Don't leave anyone in the factory. The balance will be settled when the customer comes to pick it up."

The old guard nodded and continued eating noodles.

Wei Yuan added, "Everything is ready-made in the villa. Why haven't you and my mother moved there?"

"Your mother and I are both old and too lazy to move here and there. Let your mother come once or twice a week to help you clean the house. If you really want us to move here, find a wife as soon as possible. Son, if you give us another fat grandson, we will move there and take care of our grandson ourselves without you having to tell us."

Wei Yuan suddenly felt a black line on his forehead and secretly cursed: "I shouldn't have asked this. It was really a matter of urging marriage without divorce. Am I not willing to find a wife? I am doing this for the liberation of the Chinese people. Work hard! Get married? You can’t get married now.” In view of Comrade Lao Wei’s power, I could only think about this sentence and complain secretly.

After finishing the meal, this fellow took the initiative to put away the dishes and wash them. After returning to the living room, he placed an order for his father's crawler tractor production line.

Friends who know a little bit about military knowledge should know that manufacturers that can produce crawler tractors must be able to produce tanks and armored vehicles.

Did you know that the largest tractor manufacturer in China, the "Huaxia Yituo Group Co., Ltd." located in Luoshi, Central Plains Province, is also a very large machinery manufacturing enterprise in China, a proper semi-military enterprise, and a key player in the country's "First Five-Year Plan" period 156 One of the key construction projects, the tractor brand "Dongfanghong" it produces was finalized by the old man himself.

After talking about the order for the tractor production line, Wei Yuan accompanied his parents in the living room to eat a fruit plate and watch TV for a while, then he went back to his room to rest on the excuse of being sleepy.

He returned to the room and picked up his cell phone, preparing to contact Manager Dong of Qilu Jewelry Store to deal with the gold, jewelry and jade seized from the bandits, but he found that there were several more messages on WeChat from the girl named Yunqiu. of unread messages.
