Chapter 791 790 [Skin and Eat Meat]
The public trial lasted from 8:30 in the morning to 6 in the evening, with a half-hour break at noon for lunch.
The trial procedures have been extremely simplified. In many cases, there is a lack of physical evidence and only conclusive witness accusations. As for the defendant Liu Congyun, he neither had a defense lawyer nor could he defend himself—his mouth was blocked. Even if this matter were placed in the feudal dynasty, there would be serious problems with the judicial process.
But no one raised any objections. Everyone was focused on the murder cases.
More and more victims complained of injustice on the spot, and the presiding judge was unable to resist and had to call people in for a quick trial.
In fact, Liu Congyun personally committed very few crimes, and most of them were committed by his apprentices. This situation is very normal, because at his level, there is no need to do anything to make money or kill oneself.
Take this time for promoting eschatology and making money. Liu Congyun has been staying in the Immortal Mansion and only interacted with some wealthy gentry and businessmen. As for the specific tasks of preaching, spreading rumors, cheating, hurting people, and selling stolen goods, all are handled by the disciples, and those disciples who handle affairs can even take a commission from each level.
But there is no doubt that the culprit in all cases points to Liu Congyun, and the apprentices are also doing bad things under the banner of "Liu Shenxian".
Li Gengu had already "incited rebellion" among several core disciples. In order to save their lives, those guys revealed all Liu Congyun's dirty deeds over the years in public. On a certain year and in a certain month, whoever was deceived and whomever was harmed were confessed to countless murder cases, and even many of the victims could not be found.
"Poof!"
Presiding judge Qiu Chengtong banged the gavel, looked up at the sky, and said: "It's too late, it's already dark, and the trial will continue tomorrow. I declare that the trial is adjourned!"
"Master Qingtian, I am wronged, my case has not been tried yet!"
"Liu Congyun, you idiot, please pay me back!"
"Cut him, chop this grandson!"
"..."
The onlookers were shouting one after another. The murders had long aroused public outrage. Moreover, many people in the crowd were victims of being defrauded of money, and the added anger was completely uncontrollable.
"Puff puff puff!"
Qiu Chengtong banged the gavel continuously and shouted through the microphone: "Don't argue, don't argue, the trial will continue tomorrow!"
"Don't go to trial, this kind of person should be cut to pieces!"
Chu Shuiliang pulled out the flat drill and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, I am Chu Zhuanzi, kill with me! Come on!"
"Kill, kill Liu Liang!" The people around him started cheering.
The people at the back pushed forward with all their strength, one by one. Those standing in the front could only follow the force and surge forward. Tens of thousands of people moved with an overwhelming momentum.
The policemen were frightened and hurriedly backed away. Zhou Hexuan also ran away and rushed directly into the building behind the trial stage.
The situation is completely out of control...
One of the victims was in the audience. He first crawled to Liu Congyun, bit Liu Congyun's face, tore off a piece of flesh and chewed it while shouting: "You gave me my son's life, you gave me my son!"
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Congyun made a quick sound in his throat, his eyes were full of panic, he was frantically avoiding the bite, and he even forgot about the severe pain on his face.
A woman came next. She grabbed Liu Congyun's hair and scratched at his face. Her fingernails were filled with flesh and blood, and finally she tore off a handful of Liu Congyun's hair.
Not only Liu Congyun, but also his several apprentices who were instigated to rebel, who originally wanted to be punished and made meritorious deeds, have now become the targets of everyone's venting.
The presiding judge, Qiu Chengtong, had already run to the balcony upstairs, looking at the crazy scene below, and said in horror: "I just said don't have a public trial, don't have a public trial, it's so easy now, how can we clean it up!"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "This is the best. If you really follow the procedures, your court will have a headache."
"That's true." Qiu Chengtong nodded.
Liu Congyun defrauded too many people, and it was difficult to count and repay the stolen money. As long as Liu Congyun didn't die, countless victims would come to the court to demand payment. These are all confusing and bad debts, and the deceived people have no evidence at all. Who should be refunded and how much should be refunded will never be clarified.
Now I feel better. Liu Congyun died in public outrage, and the confiscated stolen money was confiscated directly and can be used to run education or buy food for disaster relief.
"Boom!"
There was a roar of thunder and lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the dark night.
The raindrops fell quickly, so lightly and sparsely that even the hair could not get wet. Winter has already arrived, but it is the first rain since the beginning of summer, the first rain that has been long-awaited.
"Is it raining?"
"It's raining!"
The extremely small raindrops actually calmed down the crazy people. Everyone looked up at the sky in disbelief, and then burst into ecstatic cheers.
Zhou Hexuan was also a little surprised, and then he grabbed the tin trumpet and shouted loudly: "The culprit has been eliminated. The drought in Sichuan will soon pass. Everyone must have confidence. We will work together to tide over the difficulties!"
"Shenxian Zhou! It's Shenxian Zhou who is making it rain!"
"Long live Mr. Zhou!"
"We should have killed Liu Congyun a long time ago. This son of a bitch has offended God so it won't rain!"
"..."
Li Gengu and a group of court officials were all looking at Zhou Hexuan with awe in their eyes.
Qiu Chengtong is a judicial officer who returned from studying in Japan. He originally did not believe in ghosts and gods, but now he murmurs to himself: "It rained as soon as Liu Congyun died. Could it be that he made Sichuan so angry that God sent down his anger?"
By eight o'clock in the evening, tens of thousands of people gradually dispersed.
Chu Shouliang brought Pao Ge and his brothers to the trial stage. He originally wanted to vent his anger by making a last blow, but when he saw the several corpses in front of him, he lost interest instantly. He spat out and said: "Mom, she died miserably." !”
The death was really miserable, with only the skeleton and internal organs left, and even some of the internal organs had been removed.
It seems that due to the influence of the rain from the sky, everyone believed that punishing the demons was in compliance with God's will, so that the flesh and blood of Liu Congyun and his disciples became a hot commodity. There are even rumors that if you eat Yaodao's meat, you will be blessed by heaven and be free from all kinds of diseases. Tonight, many families in Chongqing will see meat for dinner.
"Japanese ghost, what should I do with the deed to my ancestral home?" Only then did Chu Shiliang think of business.
"I'm afraid I won't come back." The brother next to me said.
He really didn't want to come back because he no longer knew who the property deed had been stolen to. Unless the other party came to collect the rent, Chu Shuoliang wouldn't know who to ask for it from.
The relationship between the gentry is so complicated that Mayor Li Hongkun dared not investigate it in detail, so he could only punish Liu Congyun, the culprit. The people who were deceived should consider themselves unlucky.
Of course, some people can be moved, such as Luo Zezhou, who was the first to "offer wealth".
This guy must have made a lot of money by cheating with Liu Congyun, and he was a bare warlord, so he took the opportunity to kill him and eliminate the trouble.
When Luo Zezhou first became a warlord, a poor small county in northeastern Sichuan was taxed by him. Sixty years later, he actually expropriated millions of family properties. As his territory expanded to seven counties, he accumulated wealth of at least five million. Moreover, this guy was short-sighted and did not develop the army or civil affairs even when he got the money. He even deducted military pay, which actually caused his officers to launch a mutiny.
Kill Luo Zezhou and confiscate his family property, confiscate part of it, provide disaster relief, and distribute part. Everyone is happy, so why not?
Chu Shuoliang is a kind of person who values righteousness over wealth. He didn't think about the house deed anymore. He put away the flat diamond and said with a smile: "Brother, I am happy today. Let's go to the restaurant to have a few drinks together. I'll treat you!"
"Get up, get up!" Brothers Pao responded one after another.
After three or five cups, someone asked: "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"
"boom!"
Chu Shuiliang slammed the table: "Brother Pao will become more and more unhappy, and he will become a mess because of his father-in-law. I quit, Zhou Shenxian is a man, I will join him tomorrow!"
