Chapter 46
Monday, May 5, Peking.Today's weather is fine, the sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing, which makes many people feel better.

At noon, the students of Tsinghua University walked out of the classroom with their books in their hands. Many of them looked around unconsciously, and were about to invite their friends and roommates to have dinner together later. When they saw a few heavily armed soldiers, they suddenly felt a strange atmosphere. .

The soldiers are very young. They are dressed in a new uniform, a rifle with a bayonet shining coldly, and wise and resolute eyes. These all show that they come from a well-trained army.

"What happened?"

"Didn't the national army withdraw from Peiping?"

"Hey, isn't that Chu Tiange from class XX?"

"Isn't it Chu Tiange?" someone who knew him immediately called out, and then carefully looked at this alumnus who had been missing for more than two weeks, and saw that he was wearing a neat military uniform of a lieutenant officer, with a brand new holster on his arm belt, He was explaining something to the classmates around him.The students surrounded him with doubts, gradually understanding what happened.

It turned out that Chu Tiange's ignorance was not due to family emergency or physical illness, but to join the 29th Army's cadet regiment.

Some students who have studied the "Anti-Japanese Pioneer" unit of the 29th Army couldn't help asking: "Academic Corps? Is there such an organization in the 29th Army?"

The classmate who just learned about it from Chu Tiange frowned, squinted at the other party, and showed off proudly: "I don't know, I heard about the newly established 'North China Autonomy' that has been making a lot of noise a few days ago. Right? They were the ones who failed, even Shi Yousan was caught by them, no, there is going to be a public trial on the playground of our school."

"Oh?!" The enthusiasm of the students was mobilized, and some of them suddenly realized: "It turns out that the 'North China Autonomy' was created by Shi Yousan and others! These traitors should be killed! Go, have a look!"

"Look at it!"

The students gathered in twos and threes and streamed to the playground.

On the playground, a large and small banner was hung on the rostrum made of cement, which read: The traitor "Shi Yousan" and others will be held for a public trial. Under the banner are several tables and chairs. Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang and an old man with white beard sit on the chair.There are microphones on the table, and a big horn on the bamboo poles on both sides of the banner.Twelve students in brand-new military uniforms lined up behind them, and between each of them stood a prisoner with his hands bound.

Under the rostrum, there was a row of old men in long robes or jackets, most of whom had white beards and hair, and looked either celebrities or gentlemen.Behind the sitters, there was a dense crowd of people standing, most of them were students, but there were also some peddlers.

On the edge of the playground, there was a circle of student soldiers, about 50 of them in total, all armed with live ammunition and keeping their eyes on each other, obviously maintaining order in the venue.

Seeing that the students entered the playground a bit slowly, Chen Shichang remembered Ouyang Yun's emphasis on a quick decision, stood up and grabbed the microphone and said, "Students, hurry up, the public trial of Shi Yousan and other traitors will start in 3 minutes!"

Li Tieshu looked back at Shi Yousan behind him, and then at the gentlemen and celebrities sitting beside him and below. Seeing that most of them looked serious, he suddenly wanted to laugh—he felt that Ouyang Yun was messing around——

Tsinghua University was not willing to lend this venue at all, and none of these gentlemen and celebrities came willingly. However, in the face of the dark gunpoints and naked threats of the students: whoever does not cooperate is sympathizing with stone thieves and traitors , suspected of treason!None of these celebrities can stand up hard.

Li Tieshu thought it was too much at first, worried that the Academy Corps would get a reputation for abusing power, and told Ouyang Yun about this worry, who smiled and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with power? I just want to use power to tell those idiots Ladies and gentlemen, the Academy Corps will never be merciless when dealing with traitors, and they will always be greeted with an iron fist!"

Li Tieshu couldn't say no to him, so he had to obey the order and come to suppress the place as the "second in command" of the Academy Corps.

The term "second in command" naturally came out of Ouyang Yun's mouth. Li Tieshu didn't want to come, he thought that his age was not suitable for messing around with the students, but in the end, he was suppressed by Ouyang Yun as the "second in command" He said: "No, you have to go. Shi Yousan is an old man of the Northwest Army. If we don't execute him as soon as possible, and wait for Commander Song and a group of old men from the Northwest Army to come over, there will be no chance. Shichang and Tiange are too young to be so old. I don’t worry if you don’t have your presence on this occasion. This is a unified action of the Academy Corps. As the second in command of the Academy Corps, how can you get away with it? I’ll handle it with Commander Song. Well, when your side starts at noon, I’ll be there. Call him and tell him that Shi Yousan has been dealt with, this is called beheading before playing, haha!"

The public trial meeting was held as scheduled. Ouyang Yun and the others carefully selected the six typical traitors and hooligans who were all well-known. As Chu Tiange called them one by one, the people on the playground began to exclaim: So it was so-and-so , he also has today? ...

Shi Yousan, as the convener of "Peking Autonomy", naturally bears the brunt of being named.Although Chen Shichang was young and was working as a judge for the first time, he was very powerful. He first asked the elders around him to announce the start of the public trial, and then briefly described the process of capturing Shi Yousan and the others, and then sternly shouted: "Take Shi Yousan!"

The two apprentices escorting Shi Yousan brought Shi Yousan to the rostrum, and took away the wooden walnut stuffed in his mouth.Shi Yousan gained the freedom to speak, and immediately changed his depressed appearance, and shouted: "Why do you arrest me? I am the commander of Yidong Security, and I was officially appointed by the Nationalist Government..."

Chen Shichang had guarded against his move early on, and interrupted him contemptuously, "Just because you colluded with the Japanese and wanted to separate the ancient city of Beiping from the land of China, isn't that enough reason?"

"Who said I colluded with the Japanese? Everyone," Shi Yousan looked past the faces of celebrities and gentlemen one by one, and shouted: "Who doesn't know that in this troubled world, whoever has a gun in his hand can speak loudly? Now I If someone is arrested by you, don’t you just say what you want? If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it? I marched into Beiping, just because I was afraid that the national army had just withdrawn, and I was worried that I would take the opportunity to make trouble.”

What he said was very pertinent. During the war between domestic warlords, Beiping was constantly fighting. It is true that whoever has a gun in his hand can speak loudly.Celebrities and gentlemen secretly exchanged glances, feeling very satisfied in their hearts.

Li Tieshu had been silently watching the reaction off the court, and when he saw this scene, he gave Chen Shichang a look.Chen Shichang nodded, and shouted in a deep voice: "Submit it!"

Soon, the two students put a piece of letter paper and a lot of tattered clothes on the table.The letter paper and clothes were stained with blood and smelled bad. Many gentlemen were puzzled and frowned.

Chen Shichang handed the letter to the white-bearded old man beside him, and said, "Mr. Liu, this is an order issued by Takashi Sakai, Chief of Staff of the Japanese North China Garrison, to his subordinate Akita." He pointed to the pile of clothes, "These clothes are Those who died in the Japanese army, although they were wearing plain clothes, their shirts were unique in style and fabric to the Japanese army." Then he said to the audience: "Anyone who understands Japanese can come to the stage to confirm and see what the order is. .”

Shi Yousan's complexion changed, forget about the pile of bloody clothes, he knew about the order, he didn't expect Akita to keep him on him all the time, and coincidentally, he was searched by the cadets.At this time, he had already learned about the membership of the Xuebing Corps, and he was unwilling to be destroyed, and immediately howled: "I want to see Song Zheyuan, you little soldiers have no right to judge me!"

When he acted like this, the blind man knew that what Chen Shichang said was true, and many people immediately changed their minds—it’s okay for your friend Yousan to want to be a warlord in Beiping, after all, you are also Chinese, but you colluded with the Japanese If you want to control Beiping, you are traitorous, and it is absolutely unacceptable!
No need for Chen Shichang to say anything, the students in the audience first shouted: "Execute the traitor!" Then, some shoes, textbooks and so on were thrown onto the stage.

Shi Yousan immediately turned into a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat.

The next thing was much simpler. After Chen Shichang read Shi Yousan's crimes, he sentenced him to death on behalf of all the citizens of Beiping, and then he was directly dragged onto a truck.

This time, the remaining five traitors and hooligan leaders were terrified. Many of them knelt down on the ground without waiting for Chen Shichang to call their names, shouting for grievances. Said that he didn't know there were Japanese in the team...

Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang, and Ouyang Yun disagreed about how to deal with these five people. They believed that killing Shi Yousan would serve as an example to others, and the rest would be released as long as they could be released.However, Ouyang Yun insisted that they must all be killed, so as to truly act as a deterrent, because after that, the 29th Army will join forces with Little Japan. It's not as good as throwing it over like the crucian carp that crosses the river!

They failed to convince Ouyang Yun, but they themselves were persuaded by him. Therefore, none of the five people could escape the fate of being shot.

With the execution of Shi Yousan and others at Caishikou, the public trial meeting was successfully concluded, and the Xuebing Corps used the guns and evidence in their hands to show off. At the deliberate request of Ouyang Yun, the Xuebing Corps annihilated more than 200 Japanese soldiers in the Tianjin garrison. His glorious deeds also spread among the teachers and students of major schools in Peking, making joining the army the first ideal destination for students after graduation.

Almost at the same time that Shi Yousan and the others were shot, Ouyang Yun called Song Zheyuan and reported the Xue Corps' actions in Wan Village, and reported on the public trial of Shi Yousan and the others.

Sure enough, as he expected, when Song Zheyuan heard that he wanted to put Shi Yousan on public trial, he immediately stopped him, and repeatedly emphasized: Shi Yousan cannot be killed!

"Army seat!" Ouyang Yun on the other end of the phone was laughing secretly, but his tone was a little apprehensive, and he said slowly: "Shi Yousan may be dead already."

"What?!" Song Zheyuan's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose, and Ouyang Yun almost saw him jumping three feet high, "Nonsense! Why didn't you inform me in advance? You still have me as the commander in your eyes ?"

Ouyang Yun was silent, but the corners of his mouth were completely opened. The more Song Zheyuan did this, the more he showed that he was indeed on the right track. He pretended to be aggrieved, and said, "I can't do anything about it, Military Commander. They colluded with the Japanese and fought against the Japanese." After the death of our seven brothers, the disciples are excited, I can't stop it, hey!"

"Bang!" The phone hung up.
