Although the reception banquet is held in a warm and friendly atmosphere, it always conveys a message, that is, "Although you are welcomed and entertained, it is not because of your own reasons, but because you have good sons and daughters.
Relatives and good friends, you have benefited from them. As for you yourself, we don’t care if you come or not."
After the reception banquet, everyone was warned again: There will be no officially organized activities in the evening. You can walk around, but it is best not to go out of Xihe District. If you must go out, please bring your ID and fill out the exemption form at the checkpoint.
However, everyone was tired, so except for two or three guys who were particularly experienced and a bit brave, the rest went to bed early.
Those two or three brave guys left Xihe District with their companions, and went straight to the most bustling place, wanting to have a good time, but it turned out that the places with the signature lanterns were either restaurants or hotels, and the most entertaining place was the cinema.
Well, as for the place they were looking for, they couldn't find it. They finally came to a place that seemed interesting.
On the other side, they saw a black man who was as big as the two of them stepped forward and smiled, showing his white teeth. He talked to them a lot and reached out to pull them. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran back to Xihe.
After returning to the hotel, they told others about their adventures, and they were as happy as if they had accomplished some great feat.
Early the next morning, room service delivered meal coupons and official itinerary for the day to each room. In fact, there was only one item, watching the amnesty meeting.
Speaking of watching the amnesty meeting, some people are quite excited, because according to yesterday's behavior, people will be shot today, and many Chinese people enjoy watching the "sand jar knocking". But there are also some who don't want to watch, especially
They are those who are smart and decisive, because "Why are we here? We are here to seek justice for our relatives. How come we are led by others now? We still have to arrange everything."
But they thought so, but no one took the initiative to say it. After yesterday's police baton and Feng Nan's talk, no one wanted to be the one who stood out. They were just fooling Mr. Ling into talking about it during breakfast.
Because these volunteers were originally recruited by Ling Jia, and something happened, Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling were naturally implicated and scolded a lot. They behaved with their tail between their legs all the way here, but when they arrived in Xihe, they were highly respected because
Ling Jia is also a prominent figure in Xihe District.
Seeing this, everyone's attitude towards Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling also improved. If they want to trick him into negotiating terms with Feng Nan today, their attitude will naturally be better.
Mr. Ling is a kind person. The shortcoming of a kind person is that he can't stand kind words and requests. After being treated with a few polite words, he can't say harsh words. But looking at Feng Nan's attitude, it's not easy to negotiate.
He could only say: "I can't help you with this...I can't talk to you, Your Excellency the Viscount."
The guy who deceived her immediately said: "You can't talk to me, Jia Canon, isn't she the Minister of Health of Xihe District?"
Mr. Ling quickly corrected him: "Don't dare to say nonsense, he is a health inspector."
"It's almost the same. Just ask Jiajia to talk to you. You see, we are all here for our children. It's not easy to come all the way..."
Mr. Ling was really troubled and finally agreed.
When Mr. Ling was cheating, Mrs. Ling didn't say anything, but kept winking at her husband. Finally, when someone else left, she complained to her husband and said: "You are an old fool, you have everything taken care of, we are the ones who can decide here."
?”
Mr. Ling was not willing to lose face in front of his wife, so he said, "Just let Jiajia take the lead. Our daughter can be considered a high-level cadre here."
Mrs. Ling said: "I think you haven't understood the situation yet. This is not a county or a district, but the fiefdom of some kind of viscount. He is like a local emperor here. Our daughter is just working for him. Are you really
Treat yourself like an onion."
Although his wife said so, Mr. Ling prided himself on being a man of good faith. Although he knew that it was inappropriate to do so, he still told Ling Jia: We are here to discuss the compensation matter, and we still need to report this matter to the Viscount.
.
Ling Jia replied: "Dad, these are the internal affairs of the Xihe District fiefdom, so please leave them alone."
When the old man heard this, he gave up and said: "How can you ignore it? You are also one of the victims. It is an internal matter, but it is also the business of all of us."
Ling Jia said: "Then let them go to the rebels to claim compensation, and see what they can do for you to hold a reception banquet! We are all here as volunteers, and we filled out the liability exemption form before we came, but Xiaonan wanted to save
We, in cooperation with the royal army, consumed hundreds of tons of fuel and ammunition to save us, not to mention the soldiers who died in the battle, who do you want them to ask for compensation?"
"You, you, you." Mr. Ling was at a loss for words after what his daughter said, so he could only say: "What's your attitude! Talk to dad like that!"
Mrs. Ling also came over quickly to persuade her, and Ling Jia left in anger.
But like father, like daughter, Ling Jia is also a hard-spoken and soft-hearted master. When she went to the amnesty conference, she found an excuse to board Feng Nan's boat, but Feng Nan sat next to Lan Xiaoyu the whole way.
And she was joking, she was really embarrassed to go over and speak, but she glanced over there, but Lan Xiaoyu saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. She misunderstood the meaning again, and jealousy arose in her heart.
, just didn’t show it on his face.
The venue of the amnesty conference was on the edge of the swamp, which was originally a large puddle. Before the ad hoc conference, Yang Liming asked for a "conditional pardon" from Feng Nan, and then took the thieves captured recently, robbed and
The suspected rioters held a regional public welfare labor competition, using wooden stakes and
Wooden boards were used to build a small square with a wooden floor on the puddle of land, about two acres of land. Although it lacked an overall design, these people were not cut out for this job. The small square was still bumpy, and some places were uneven.
If you step on it, water will come out from the cracks in the wooden floor, but it won't be a problem to hold an impromptu meeting or something.
Although the entire venue only covers an area of about two acres, it is well-equipped despite its small size. There is a podium, a press area, and even an "execution chamber" with two class tents put together on the edge.
The guard responsible for leading the way took the volunteers and their families to the execution chamber. Everyone was a little nervous at first. When they saw the execution chamber, they didn't know what the execution method was. Finally, the guard explained: "This is both an execution chamber and a VIP."
The room is equipped with air conditioning and TV, and the conditions are much better than under the pergola in the square.”
Even so, everyone still waited for Ling Jia and Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling to enter before filing in.
The guard did not lie to them. The tent was divided into two parts. The part they entered was equipped with folding chairs and had air conditioning. It felt extremely cool as soon as they entered, and free drinks were provided.
The other half of the tent is the real execution chamber. There is a glass separation between the two areas. The furniture in that part of the execution chamber is simple, with only one table and one chair. The chairs are not folding chairs, but large wooden chairs with armrests. Careful people
I also noticed that there were large iron rings on the armrests and heels of the wooden chair.
"Those are for handcuffs, used to secure prisoners." Someone in the crowd said.
Mrs. Ling felt a little nervous and asked her daughter: "Just shoot them across the street?"
Ling Jia said: "This is also Fortner's legal welfare. Only the victim's family and the victim himself are qualified to watch the prisoner being executed. Mom, don't worry, the glass is bulletproof and painted. We can see the other side. That
It’s just a mirror when you look at it.”
Mrs. Ling was timid and timid and didn't dare to watch it anymore, but many people found it novel and exciting and felt that this trip was really worth it.
After everyone found their seats, another policeman came in with a red armband on his arm and claimed to be the execution inspector. His red armband made everyone feel more friendly. He first read out the disciplines and precautions, and then introduced: "
The prisoners who participated in the amnesty meeting today were all guilty of espionage. It was they who passed the detailed inspection time and route of the patrol team to General Thabo, which led to the attack on the patrol team. Therefore, everyone here is the victim and the victim's family, so there are
Qualified to supervise the execution process.”
While we were talking, a few more people came in. None of them knew each other, but they were all sitting in the back row of seats. Everyone guessed that they might be victims of a certain case or family members.
After the inspector finished introducing the relevant matters, the amnesty conference had already begun. The distinguished guests in the execution room watched the entire process through two large-screen TVs in the tent. However, some people felt that it was not enough, so they left the tent to watch the scene outside, but there was no
I came back in a few minutes because it was too hot outside.
In today's special meeting, Feng Nan, as the lord, is naturally the protagonist. Although Lan Xiaoyu has a high status due to her relationship with him, this is official business after all. She cannot sit on the stage and can only sit as a distinguished guest.
In the middle of the first row under the stage, far from
She was as comfortable as the distinguished guests in the execution chamber. But she was in a good mood, because as the lord's "quasi-wife", no matter where she went, those in uniform would salute her, and those wearing badges would smile and bow to her.
I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment in China.
Feng Nan started the amnesty process for the first case. First, the master of ceremonies read out the verdict of today's first prisoner. The verdict was made by the Fortner Royal Court. After the verdict was read, the prisoner's lawyer made an application for amnesty.
Prisoner's book
People can also defend the reasons for the pardon. Afterwards, an 11-person pardon hearing team will conduct the pardon review. The review results will be handed over to Feng Nan to make the final decision. However, the result will not be announced in public at the time, but the final say still belongs to the prisoner.
.
The amnesty activity for the first prisoner lasted for more than an hour. A distinguished guest in the execution room became impatient and complained to himself: "Why haven't you been shot yet? What a heinous crime it is."
However, the amnesty procedure was still carried out in accordance with Quan Guangwen's plan.
Finally, Feng Nan made the first final decision of the day. After the order was made, the result was sealed and handed over to the inspector and sent to the executioner in the execution room. The executioner signed and approved the decision after receiving it, and then the inspector handed over the case file.
The administrator enters the file. After that, the prisoner is escorted to the execution room by the police.
This prisoner looked very young, in his early twenties at most. Because he had dark skin, it was not obvious whether his face was pale at this time, but his legs were indeed shaking.
Executive Officer Bai Qing asked him to stand up with a serious expression, and then took a set of clothes for him to change into.
On the other side, Mrs. Ling praised: "It's human nature, give me new clothes."
But the prisoner over there didn't care about new clothes at this time. He trembled and took off his clothes first, and took them off completely, with no trace of hair on his body. Then he started to dress, but it was more difficult to put on than to take off.
It was much more difficult. He couldn't put it on even after wandering around for a long time. As a result, some middle-aged and elderly women here couldn't help crying. There were such big things hanging around. I really don't know what happened to my daughter.
What a crime.
I originally thought that he would be shot after changing his clothes, but unexpectedly, after changing his clothes, the police took the prisoner out through the door on the other side. Then Bai Qing stuffed a dead bullet into the execution shotgun.
Then there was a "bang" shot at the ash bucket. Although everyone was startled by the gunshot - because they did not expect that there would be another shot after everyone had been sent away, the inspector explained: This is
It is a principle that whether you are dead or not, you have to be shot. So someone said disdainfully: "Aren't you deceiving yourself and others?" Almost at the same time, the amnesty conference announced that the prisoner had been pardoned by Viscount Feng Nan, and he would spend twenty years
During the period, you can only wear clothes with specific symbols and perform community and construction services. This is a nicer way of saying it. In popular terms, it means twenty years of hard labor.
