The Republic of Heroes

A tall platform was set up in front of the Binjiang Town Guard Office, just like a Fugui family invited someone to set up a platform to sing an opera on a happy event. A tall pole was erected on each side of the platform as tall as one person, and the two poles were pulled apart. A banner with seven big black characters written on square white paper "Tao Xianggui Public Trial Assembly"

Binjiang people have never seen an official judge before, so this is a must-see. The people spread word of mouth, and the whole city was a sensation. Even the surrounding streets were crowded with people. The hawkers wanted to come here to make a fortune, but there were too many people. In the end, many people couldn't even keep their stalls and were crushed in the turbulent crowd.

Suddenly there was a deafening human voice on the stage, which made people tremble in fright, and then stretched their heads looking for someone who could make such a loud noise.Then there was another loud human voice on the stage, and sharp-eyed people immediately noticed the clue.

"Look, it's the big suona on the pole!"

Everyone was skeptical, but sure enough, the big suona started to make human voices again, and even the common people a few streets away could hear them clearly.

"Hey! Hey!"

"Now I announce that Tao Xianggui's public trial is officially open."

The crowd immediately booed, "Stop talking, the high officials are here, look, look..."

I saw a row of tables on the table began to fill up with people, and someone immediately pointed to a middle-aged man with a beard in a khaki major general uniform and shouted: "Look, that bearded man is Ren Ren from Binjiang." handsome!"

The common people stood on tiptoe after hearing this, wanting to see the real face of this high official, but they were too far away, so they could only see the outline vaguely, but the details on the body were not clear.Just as people rushed to see Ren Fuyuan, the big suona rang again,

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet!"

The person who spoke was Tantai Jize, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being watched by everyone, although he was not the protagonist.

"First of all, I would like to invite Ren Shuai, the guardian of Binjiang, to give an opening speech!"

Ren Fuyuan straightened his clothes, and said in his heart: This little Marshal Wu from the east has a lot of tricks. It seems that a public trial is a good idea. One thing he is very sure of is that after the public trial, Tao Xianggui, the white-eyed wolf who had always wanted to replace him before, went The reputation will be ruined, thinking of this, the whole person becomes more light-hearted.

"Ahem, today, today..."

Although Ren Fuyuan was the guardian envoy of one party, he had never shown his face in front of so many people. He was a little nervous, and when he came to speak, his mind went blank and he couldn't think of what to say.Seeing that he was stuck, Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Introduce yourself, introduce yourself!"

One word reminded the dreamer, "Ahem, I am Ren Fuyuan, Major General of the Beiyang Army, Binjiang Guard."

Before the words were finished, I don't know who was the first to shout, "Long live the guard!"

The people below also shouted, and the voices of long live came and went one after another. Ren Fuyuan couldn't help but flushed with excitement. He had never enjoyed such "support" from the people. In fact, most people may not support him in their hearts, but they have taken the lead After people, the heart of conformity is at work.

After some episodes, Ren Fuyuan forgot to be nervous, and spoke more fluently, "The main purpose of this meeting today is to publicly try the big beetle, the big corrupt official, and the big traitor Tao Xianggui, come on, bring me Tao Xianggui. "

Wu Xiaoliang shook his head for a while. What he taught in advance still made him say nondescript. Tao Xianggui cannot be called a corrupt official or a traitor before he is convicted in a trial. Before he is convicted in a public trial, he is just a suspect. Humanly speaking, it is really difficult to get them to accept this.On this point, Tantai Jize is extremely cooperative, whether he accepts it or not, he will fully implement it after getting familiar with it.

After Ren Fuyuan finished speaking, a blood-stained man was pushed onto the high platform. Due to multiple gunshot wounds on his body, he couldn't stand upright and fell on the platform. He grunted in pain, but gritted his teeth and refused to let go I'm too groggy.But the soldiers who escorted him mercilessly shattered the last bit of his dignity, kicked him twice on the back, picked him up like a chicken, threw him in the middle of the stage, and They forced him to kneel down, and then inserted a large sign on his back, with the three characters "suspect" written in red pen on it.

Seeing the suspect Tao Xianggui in place, Tantai Jize asked according to the rehearsed lines: "The suspect's name and place of origin?"

Tao Xianggui raised his head and refused to answer the question. Two soldiers in khaki uniforms immediately slapped him from left to right. After a dozen blows each, his face swelled up.

"The suspect's name and place of origin?"

"Tao Xianggui, Jiutai..." Tao Xianggui couldn't hold back anymore, he chose to give in, and was slapped dozens of times in public, making him want to die.

Wu Xiaoliang looked at Ren Fuyuan and shook his head again and again, this was too violent, it was not the public trial he had expected at all, he was a little uninterested, and then Tantai Jize became absent-minded about how to go through the scene according to the plan.

However, towards the end, an unexpected thing happened. All the procedures that should be followed were completed, corrupt criminals, rapists, traitors... A total of more than ten signs were stuck on him. There was a sound, and it came straight to several senior officers on the high platform.

A bullet grazed Wu Xiaoliang's left arm, pierced through the military uniform, and immediately saw blood. Although it didn't hurt the vitals, it scared the guard company commander into a cold sweat, and rushed to the stage like crazy to protect Wu Xiaoliang.

After the gunshots, the whole street exploded, and the sea of ​​spectators suddenly became chaotic. Those behind squeezed the front, and those in the front crowded the people in front. Crying and shouting immediately filled the entire town guard office.Wu Xiaoliang crouched behind the table on the high platform, ignoring the gunshot wound on his arm, and ordered the company commander of the guard to bring people to clear the crowd.The company commander retorted with a disapproving expression: "Now there is no use for any counseling, the people below are all crazy, if you don't believe me, the commander will see for himself!"

Speaking of raising the curtain on the table, Wu Xiaoliang looked down. As he said, the people below were irrational, and they were rushing to every corner of the street like crazy. What was avoided was about to happen.

Suddenly, with the sound of piercing through the air, several green smoke popped up in front of the eyes, and the bullets bounced off the thick hardwood board. The company commander was so frightened that he pushed Wu Xiaoliang to roll backward.

"Commander, let's get out of this damned high platform quickly, those bastards are here for us."

The company commander took out the box cannon and pulled the trigger in the direction of the bullets, and it was a shuttle of bullets, "Mother is still haunted..."

Only Tao Xianggui sat in the middle of the high platform, smiling and screaming strangely...
