Lin Wei rushed into the office excitedly and saw Lin Xiaohu there, "Xiaohu is here too. Just in time, let's go to the public trial. After watching it, we will go to the shooting range to watch the prisoners being shot."
Yao Yuan took a puff of cigarette and said, "What did I think? I was so surprised. I didn't read much when I was in school?"
Lin Wei said, "Tang Hui's family of three were also inside. They were first paraded through the streets, then put on trial in the sports center, and finally taken to the shooting range in the west of the city and shot."
Yao Yuan was stunned, "Then, go and have a look?"
"Let's go!"
The three of them went out.
I didn't let anyone else follow me, so I opened the Pajero and went.
Today is the fifth day since Tang Hui's family of three was arrested. I didn't expect the results to come out so soon. In fact, the verdict has already been issued. The public trial was read out in public according to the script, which served as a warning to society.
Parades, public trials, and executions were all open to the public. During the first severe crackdown in the 1980s, liberation trucks would appear on the streets carrying prisoners, with loudspeakers blaring and big signs hanging.
When Yao Yuan and others were in junior high school, the school organized students to participate in public trials.
"Fei Wei, do you still remember the public trial held at the movie theater when you were in the first year of junior high school? It was the movie theater at the end of the canal bridge." Yao Yuan's hands were itchy, so he drove and turned the steering wheel and said.
Lin Wei said, "Of course I remember it. It was the first time I participated in the public trial of prisoners organized by the school. What impressed me most was that one man seemed to have kissed a female classmate and was sentenced to death for being a gangster."
"Well, that young man just graduated from the third grade of junior high school. It is said that he is usually quite peaceful, but that time he kissed me without knowing the circumstances." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "There is another person, a farmer in his forties, who robbed more than ten people.
Yuan Qian was sentenced to eighteen years. When he gets out, he won't be able to do anything."
Lin Wei sighed and said, "Compared with the young man who was shot, he was lucky. Ayuan, actually, I always wonder, is this punishment too severe?"
"It can only be said that it was a disaster caused by the background of the times. The security at that time was really bad. Otherwise, the factory would not have arranged for the security department to escort our children who attend junior high schools in the county to and from school and use shuttle buses to pick them up." Yao Yuan
explain.
Lin Xiaohu said, "I almost got shot too."
"What?" Lin Wei asked in shock.
Lin Xiaohu said, "I had already joined the provincial team at that time. At that time, the male and female team members lived in the same building. There was a public bathroom on each floor. There was a women's bathroom at the east end of the first floor. I passed there once and didn't know how to get back.
The door to the women's bathroom was not closed that day, so I just glanced at it and saw nothing. As a result, a female team member next to me saw it and grabbed me and told me that I was acting like a hooligan."
"It was really powerful at the time. Watching a woman take a bath was a gangster act in public. If caught, she would be shot. I didn't do anything and of course I refused to accept it. Later, my coach defended me and communicated with the coach of the women's team and the members of the women's team.
We communicated with each other, and later conducted several on-site tests, which proved that I indeed saw nothing. The matter slowly passed. If I had reported it to the Public Security Bureau, I would probably be lying in my grave by now."
Lin Wei gasped.
Yao Yuan, however, looked solemn and his mood was very complicated. As a latecomer, of course he knew that period of history. To sum it up in four words, it can only be "hard to describe".
He does not object to, but does not support, the parades, public trials, and public executions of people like Tang Hui who have committed heinous crimes. This is because his consciousness is the legal consciousness of the 21st century, and his thinking is the rule of law of the 21st century.
.
But in the 1990s, people just hated being so tolerant to people like Tang Hui and wished they could have their ashes shattered.
In a word, if the economy wants to develop, the construction of the rule of law must also develop. As the economy develops, the construction of the rule of law also develops. The future will get better and better, but if we can promote it and make it develop faster, why not do it?
?
Yao Yuan decided to find a time to talk with Zhou Liang about the issue of rule of law construction. From the perspective of an entrepreneur, he hoped that the Nangang City Government would improve public security, because a stable and safe environment is the basic condition for economic development.
The sports center was packed with people, which amazed Yao Yuan.
Obviously, the audience was organized, otherwise there would never have been so many idle people who skipped work and came to watch the public trial, let alone the farmers in the suburbs. Since they were busy with farm work, no one would join in the fun.
The three of them found a higher place and looked into the scene. More than a dozen prisoners had their hands tied behind their backs, and wooden name plates were inserted on their backs, as if they were waiting to be beheaded in ancient times.
The presiding judge read out the verdicts one by one. As expected, Tang Hui and Zhi Liyuan were sentenced to death, and Zhi Yuye was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
Yao Yuan said, "Zhi Yuye's sentence was a bit harsh. She might not really know about hiring a murderer."
"Perhaps the public security organs also have other facts about her crimes. Besides, even if she has nothing to do with hiring a murderer, the gold mine plan alone is enough to send her to jail for fifteen years. I don't think it's serious at all." Lin Wei
explain.
Yao Yuan was stunned and nodded, "That's true."
"If you don't take action in time, she will be sentenced to death." Lin Xiaohu said.
He was finally on the point. If Yao Yuan had followed his original plan and waited until they had rolled out the gold mine plan before arresting people, Zhi Yuye would have been sentenced to death.
The leader gave a speech, the sentence was announced publicly, and he was escorted to the execution ground.
The three of them, Yao Yuan, drove with most of them to the execution ground in the west of the city. It was actually a shooting range used for militia shooting training. Because there is a cemetery behind the mountain, it is called a cemetery, but most locals call it a shooting range.
, is a shooting range where death row prisoners are shot, so the locals don't talk about shooting, but target shooting - don't break the law or discipline, be careful to drag you to target shooting.
With the sound of gunshots, all the death row prisoners were executed. Tang Hui, Zhi Liyuan and his wife ended their sinful life. Zhi Yuye watched from the side. When her parents fell to the ground, she also collapsed, with urine and feces.
It flowed out, dominated by deep fear.
Yao Yuan knew that life was worse than death for her now. Even if she could get a reduced sentence and be released from prison early, she would probably be a cripple given her condition.
But it was better to die than to live. At least she had saved her life.
No one spoke on the way back. It was a completely different feeling to witness the shooting in person.
For a while, Lin Wei seemed to have nothing to say and said, "Ayuan, do you still remember Han Ming?"
"Han Ming from the test team, your former co-worker in the sugar factory team." Yao Yuan's memory is not bad.
Lin Wei said, "Yes, that guy hasn't called home for two or three months, and I don't know what's going on. His mother asked me when he came back to the factory last time."
"He no longer works in the test team?" Yao Yuan asked.
Han Ming is the first test driver of the test team of the Automobile Research Institute of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, and he has made contributions to the Zhengfu series of three-wheeled heavy-duty motorcycles.
