Chapter 790 789 [Public Trial]

The makeshift public trial platform was surrounded by police officers. This was not only to maintain the order of the trial, but also to prevent ignorant believers from causing trouble.

Three judges sit in the north position, with Qiu Chengtong, president of the Chongqing District Court, serving as the presiding judge. On the left side are three prosecutors. On their desks are thick case materials, which were secretly collected by Li Hongkun.

Zhou Hexuan, as the chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Senate, was invited to be a guest in the audience. He was also a witness to Liu Congyunjuanqian's escape.

Everything seemed very formal, very civilized, and very legal, except Liu Congyun did not get the legitimate rights of the "defendant." His hands and feet were shackled, and two judicial police officers forced him to kneel down, just like a prisoner in ancient times.

The clerk first found out the situation and said: "It is confirmed that the defendant Liu Congyun, as well as the relevant plaintiffs and witnesses have arrived in court. Now, it is up to me to announce the discipline of the temporary public trial court: first, no loud noises, no fighting and insults, no Disturbing the order of the trial; secondly..."

After the clerk said a lot, the presiding judge Qiu Chengtong banged the hammer and said: "I declare that the temporary public trial court has officially opened. The defendant Liu Congyun pretended to be a god and descended to earth, amassed money, deceived believers, and caused huge losses to the people. He was officially discharged from Chongqing. The district court initiated a public prosecution. The list of judges, prosecutors and clerks is as follows... Due to the complexity of the case and the large number of cases, they must be heard one by one. Now I ask the chief prosecutor to start stating the case."

Before the chief prosecutor could say anything, Liu Congyun burst out laughing: "You idiots, what qualifications do you have to try me? Call Liu Mangzi (Liu Xiang) here quickly. He knows very well what I have done." If I am the principal culprit, Liu Xiang is an accomplice, and if I are tried alone, I will not accept it!"

The presiding judge and the chief prosecutor looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Regarding many of Liu Congyun's old cases, the Chongqing District Court did not dare to mention them because too many big names were involved, so they could only pick up individual cases for trial. Even so, it is shocking. There are more than 20 human life lawsuits with solid evidence.

Zhou Hexuan smiled coldly and suddenly shouted: "Shut his mouth!"

Neither the presiding judge nor the chief prosecutor raised their voices to object, but neither did they agree because it was obviously against court discipline. Li Gengu, who was also a guest and witness, walked to the public hearing platform in person, took out a rag from somewhere, opened Liu Congyun's mouth and stuffed it in.

"Uh huh..." Liu Congyun made a sound in his throat, twisting his body continuously and looking at Hexuan next to the stage with resentful eyes.

Prosecutor General Zheng Yuhong read out: "I will now state Case No. 1, the Hu County Family Massacre Case. On October 18, the 21st year of the Republic of China, Liu Congyun forcibly occupied Li Fumin's family property in Hu County, and allowed his apprentice to rape the female members of the Li family. Li Fumin rose up to resist, and Liu Congyun killed all twenty-seven members of the Li family, leaving only an eight-year-old girl, who survived by being hidden in a dry well by her wet nurse..."

Presiding judge Qiu Chengtong asked: "Liu Congyun, do you need to defend this case?"

"Uh huh..." Liu Congyun could only make a sound in protest.

In fact, what Liu Congyun wanted to say was that the case of extermination had nothing to do with him, it was all caused by his apprentices.

At that time, the warlord Liu Wenhui invited an immortal to the army and stabbed a villain to make Liu Xiang sick. For a time, Wan Shen Xian became famous in Sichuan military circles, seriously provoking Liu Congyun's immortal authority. Therefore, Liu Congyun encouraged Liu Xiang to take the initiative to attack, causing Sichuan, which had finally settled down, to fight again.

In order to destroy all the immortals, Liu Congyun personally led the model division (immortal group) to fight. As a result, the model division, which was said to be invulnerable, was beaten to a pulp by Liu Wenhui in Luzhou.

This was the background of the "Shanghai County Extermination Case". At that time, Liu Congyun was already very worried and was thinking about how to replenish and restore the strength of the model teacher. How could he still have the mood to engage in extermination? They were all his close disciples. They couldn't find anything to do during the war and peace talks. They were bored and focused on a big family in Hu County. As a result, they inexplicably caused a massacre.

The matter was so big that Liu Congyun had no choice but to personally come forward to settle the matter. He claimed that the owner of the Li family was evil and had killed all his family members, while his disciples were exorcists who exterminated demons and demons, and even took the initiative to silence two witnesses (Li family servants).

"Call the witness!"

An old woman with gray hair appeared with a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. When they arrived at the trial stage, the old woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for us. The Li family died so unjustly and miserably!"

"Stand up, don't kneel," Prosecutor General Zheng Yuhong asked, "What are your names, where do you live, and what do you do?"

"My name is Fu Guifen, and my married name is Lin Fu. I am the head of the family in Hu County. I used to be a wet nurse in Mr. Li's house." The old woman, still kneeling, introduced the little girl next to her. "This baby's name is Li Wanyun, and she belongs to Mr. Li." My biological daughter is now my goddaughter."

Zheng Yuhong said: "Please tell me in detail what happened on the day of the incident."

Mrs. Lin Fu kowtowed again subconsciously and said: "Master Li, also known as Li Fumin, married the fourth concubine and gave birth to nine daughters, but none of them had a daughter. He heard that Liu Shenxian was here. In Hu County, he personally took Dayang to beg for a child. Liu Shenxian did not come, only a few apprentices came. Those apprentices said that they would do something for the ladies to give birth to, and no one else could disturb them. Even Mr. Li was locked out of the house. Not long after, the second aunt was calling for help, and Mr. Li led others to rush in. They started fighting without knowing what was going on..."

Lin Fushi spoke very carefully. Although he did not tell the truth directly, anyone with a little bit of brains would understand it immediately.

Liu Congyun's apprentices forcibly raped Li Fumin's wives in the name of "giving birth to a child". After the incident, they had a conflict with the Li family and accidentally shot Li Fumin to death. Naturally, the Li family refused to give up and wanted to send those apprentices to see the officials. As a result, the other party did not stop and killed the Li family completely, and also occupied the Li family's property.

Later, Liu Congyun colluded with the local county magistrate and sent two servants who had witnessed the escape to prison for theft. The two servants died in mysterious circumstances. The Lin Fu family took Li Wanyun, the daughter of the Li family, and quietly hid at Li Wanyun's grandmother's house in Luzhou. They heard that Master Qingtian wanted to interrogate Liu Shenxian before he dared to show up.

Judging from the revealed facts of the case, Liu Congyun was found guilty of harboring the murderer, fabricating evidence, obstructing justice, embezzling private property, and murdering witnesses.

Before the prosecutor-general read out the second case, a cry suddenly came from the crowd: "Master Qingtian, I also want justice!"

Before he finished speaking, someone shouted again: "I also have a grievance. Liu Shenxian cheated me of 20,000 yuan!"

"I also want to report the case, Liu Congyun killed my son!"

There were constant cries of injustice. It was obvious that many people had been harmed by Liu Congyun, and Li Hongkun had omitted countless others when collecting evidence.
