my wife is a consul

Chapter 450 The Wheel of History
The trial of Rodson and others took one day. Rodson and others were assigned lawyers and a jury participated in the trial, but in just one day, the trial was all over and the verdict was pronounced. Nine people including Rodson were sentenced to death, and the remaining 14 people were sentenced to death. People were sentenced to life imprisonment to prison terms.

Moreover, this special court for Anshan people has no appeal mechanism.

The traditional death penalty in Anshan is not electrocution, hanging, shooting, or even beheading, but beheading.

However, according to Anshan tradition, the execution will be carried out after autumn, usually in October, that is, there are still more than three months left.

Even the spouses of Rodson and other culprits were tried in absentia and sentenced to death. This is the traditional law of Anshan, which believes that powerful criminals will fully enjoy the benefits obtained during their crimes, so they must share the responsibility for the crime. In the past, children were also punished equally, but now it has improved a little.

……

The reception room of the suite on the top floor of the Red Rose Hotel.

Lu Ming slowly sipped his tea. He had just returned from Montenegro. In the past few days, he mainly inspected the construction of the airport in Montenegro.

At the same time, both Nanping and Wanzhou have small airports that can be used as temporary relay stations.

Even this small airport in Shengjing can be used as a temporary military airport when it is needed urgently.

This airport was originally privately owned by Baron Rodson. When the riots started, it was immediately occupied by the Montenegro Air Service. Now, it has been auctioned by Commissioner Zhang. The bidding price is kept secret, but the actual price is 1 yuan.

The properties of Rodson and other western corrupt criminal groups were handled in this way. After being confiscated, most of them became the private property of the four warlords, and a small part was auctioned by representatives in Shengjing.

For Lu Ming's trip this time, he took Shengjing Airport and flew to Montenegro. The straight-line distance is about 700 kilometers, and it takes one and a half hours.

However, today's propeller planes are not as comfortable as the jet planes of the previous life, especially for long distances. Lu Ming was already a little dizzy from the noise. It will be surprisingly loud, and it's a bit unbearable to wear headphones.

But the guests have come several times, and I have been in Montenegro, and I came here early this morning to wait, so it is not good for people to come back tomorrow.

At this time, I slowly sipped tea and listened to the Westerners opposite me.

Hovers is not there, although he introduced the person.

It is a middle-level executive of Fila Bank, named Shiraf, a middle-aged gentleman in his 40s.

The Fila Bank is a bank controlled by the Fila Petroleum Consortium. It has not been very prominent in the financial industry, but in Shengjing, the Fila Bank is the most important bank linking the north and the south. Coupled with the background of the Fila Consortium, Shengjing No matter how chaotic it was, the Fira Bank was not affected. The soldiers from the four provinces even set up defenses outside the Fira Bank immediately, strictly prohibiting any real thugs from making trouble, but also prevented the refugees who went to seek refuge from approaching.

Shiraf was coughing, he looked not in good health, and his face was weak and pale. Perhaps the recent incident had a great psychological impact on him. This is inevitable for any Westerner in Shengjing, even if temporarily affected Protection was not harmed.

"This is my thank you to you..." Shiraf handed a check to Lu Ming, the amount was 5000 yuan.

He found out that his sister was not dead or taken away by the Anshan people, but hid in the Montenegro Special Zone. Therefore, he found Hovers with great difficulty and pleaded with Hovers repeatedly. He met Commissioner Zhang, but Hovers refused to introduce him, so he insisted on coming every day.

Hovers couldn't screw him, so he finally told Commissioner Zhang about his situation. It seemed that Commissioner Zhang was very kind and even agreed to see him.

He doesn't have as much money as his brother-in-law, so he can only use his own savings as much as possible, hoping that Commissioner Zhang will be lenient and allow his sister to stay in the concession area and not be handed over to the Anshan people's court.

Looking at Shiraf who begged him hard, Lu Ming sighed softly. It is indeed rare for Western brothers and sisters to be in their 40s and [-]s with such strong family affection.

Shiraf's younger sister, Mrs. Britney, is a close friend in Mrs. Audrey's circle. Her husband was sentenced to death together with Baron Rodson, and Britney was also one of the absconded death row inmates.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ming said, "You don't need the money. Where is your hometown? How about arranging for Mrs. Britney to go back to her hometown?"

Shiraf smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, our grandparents committed crimes and were exiled. Where is our hometown? Our family is heavily in debt in our hometown. We will only be thrown stones when we go back, and no one will sympathize with begging. We can only live starve."

Lu Ming nodded, "Okay then, I'll give the money to her. I have some money in the concession, and it's good to start a small business."

After listening to Lu Ming's words, Yu Luan, who was beside Lu Ming, took the check and swiped the records. Naturally, she was the one to do this kind of thing.

Shiraf was stunned, and then sighed: "In short, I will leave everything to you, Commissioner!" Originally, the money was given to Commissioner Zhang in front of him, but I don't know if he thought it was too little or something, and said that he would hand it over to his sister, but Everything can only be resigned to fate, after all, this is all I can do, and it is impossible to spend a large sum of money.

Not a while after Shiraf left, Hovers was ushered in.

Although the Red Rose Hotel belongs to Hovers, the presidential suite on the top floor is not something he can just say.

From a legal point of view, the property rights of the presidential suite already belong to "Commissioner Zhang".

It was Hovers who had to give it away. Originally, he wanted to give half of the hotel's shares to Lu Ming. The share transfer agreement was written and he was waiting for Lu Ming to sign it.

For him, this is already a blessing in misfortune, such a terrible riot, and it is the act of accepting the property of the Westerners, he can escape unscathed, his family is not injured, and most of the accumulated money can be kept. The property, but the hotel has to give away half of it. Compared with those friends who were sentenced to be cut in half, or even disappeared without a trial at all, this ending is much, much luckier.

Moreover, this is also for the sake of the future. The Red Rose Hotel gave half of it to Commissioner Zhang, which is equivalent to taking Zhang's amulet.

But I didn't want to, Commissioner Zhang refused to sign anything.

The last time I talked about this matter, Hovers was about to cry, and even doubted that this old friend wanted all his property?
Seeing him like that, Lu Ming finally had no choice but to agree to Hovers' proposal to transfer the property rights of the top floor of the hotel to himself.

The environment here is really good. Moreover, Hovers used to entertain important guests, and he basically never received paying guests in his business. Transferring it to himself has no effect on his operation of the hotel.

On the day of the Great Riot, the Red Rose Hotel once sheltered many Westerners, making it a particularly good reputation among the Westerners.

Including the Montenegro special zone and myself, it has become a very big image among the Westerners. There are still thousands of Westerners staying in the concession, and they dare not return to their original communities for the time being.

Looking at Hovers, Lu Ming thought about this, and said: "The Human Rights Watch Team is working for the legitimate rights and interests of the Griffinian group. We will not move those who were sentenced by the Anshan court, and first stabilize and resettle those innocent Griffinians." The Finney group, achieve ethnic reconciliation in Shengjing, and you, go to the refugee camp in the Montenegro Concession more during this time, talk to them more, and reassure them."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Hovers was stunned. What did Commissioner Zhang think about the Anshan court trial?Obviously it's a foregone conclusion.

Lu Ming would never talk to Hovers.

Although the governors of the four provinces in Shengjing became bandit leaders, from another perspective, it is also good for the people in the Northern Territory to treat Westerners with peace of mind.

Therefore, I acquiesced to everything that happened here.

Of course, if I want to stop it, the Montenegro Special Zone may go to war with the four major provinces and the Kingdom of Japan at the same time, and the result is self-evident.

However, the wheels of history are rolling, and although I tried my best to minimize its negative impact, from an individual point of view, how many innocent lives were brutally killed in this great change?

Thinking about it, I can only sigh.

A hero in troubled times, with his own character, he is actually not qualified, but he has made it to the present step by step.

For the first time, I was a little confused about what the future would hold.

Will I really see my ideal country?
　Thank you comrades for the monthly tickets and various supports these days, bow!
