The office is on the second floor. Standing on the corridor on the second floor, you can clearly see the situation in the atom. The wall of the courtyard facing the street is a wrought iron railing, which is covered with people watching the fun - basically all indigenous people.
Common people and naturalized people don't have so much free time.
The traditional social and cultural society is extremely poor, and watching interrogations and beheadings are popular entertainment activities for the masses. Since the arrival of the Australians, the fun of watching interrogations has disappeared - there is only talk in the court, no chopping board or stick, which is not very watchable.
There are many more exciting activities like beheading. Although the Australians also carry out executions in public, they just hang the person on a shelf, pull the springboard door and fall down. The death row inmate doesn't even have time to kick his legs and struggle.
Just hang it straight up, the irritation is not as strong as the blood spurting out when the head falls to the ground.
Fortunately, the canings carried out in public every day in the Magistrates' Court make up for this gap. There are crowds of people outside the prison yard of the Magistrates' Court every day.
Based on her task, it was not too much to ask for a list of the prisoners in all the cases heard today, but she felt that it was better not to take the risk. She would know by looking at it. Anyway, the canings that were carried out in public every day would end before noon.
It's over. As long as you pay attention, it's easy to see whether there is Xin Na Chun.
At this moment, there were already crowds of spectators outside the iron railings. Li Yongxun turned his attention to the wooden platform in the middle of the yard. On it was installed a rack to restrain the prisoners' limbs and bodies. A prisoner had just been unhooked from the platform, and his lower body was being held by two policemen.
He was standing, stumbling, breathing heavily in pain, his buttocks and thighs were dripping with blood, the whip marks were cracked, and the flesh was rolled up, looking bloody.
Li Yongxun didn't feel strange. To her, this was just child's play. Despite the blood, the injury was not serious. She went to Runshitang to buy some medicine and rested for a few days.
Suddenly she heard a commotion, and the crowd outside seemed to become excited, pointing and whispering. People who had already looked tired suddenly became energetic, and they all looked towards the platform.
Li Yongxun knew that the next person to be executed must be a female prisoner, so the crowd of onlookers suddenly became enthusiastic - just like the rape case always attracted the most people to watch during the trial in the Yamen.
Judging from the enthusiasm of the reaction, most of the female prisoners who were executed were young women. She walked around pretending to be bored, and sure enough, two policewomen came out of the house, holding a woman with a plump figure. She was about 20 years old.
At this age, he was not tied up and had no other restraints except the rope hanging from the collar. Li Yongxun was startled, wearing a collar around his neck was a mandatory sign for "non-national" women who were engaged in "custom industries".
Is Xin Nachun a "non-national"? Li Yongxun became nervous.
Under the rule of the Senate, there was no such thing as untouchables. The common people who came across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether they were purified and converted into ordinary people, were not asked whether they were good or bad.
But under the rule of the Senate, there was a strange product of "non-nationals".
Most of these non-citizens were born after the Qiongzhou security war, and some were the product of the coastal bandit suppression. To put it simply, they are "bandit members".
Although the elders claim to "do not bring harm to their families" and "do not get involved", this is only from a legal perspective. There is no such thing as killing a whole family, beheading a man and turning a woman into a prostitute. However, it is inevitable to be included in another book.
.
Although there is no explicit policy to discriminate against them, there are restrictions on "non-nationals" in various internal controls. Moreover, the police and the Political Security Bureau are also very strict in monitoring and managing them. Therefore, most "non-nationals" are at the lower level of society.
Many young women are engaged in custom industries.
If Xin Nachun is a "non-national", the possibility of her being a bait is very small. Generally speaking, the Political Security Bureau will not use people with "historical problems". However, it is difficult to say, the identity may be fake-
Even if it is true, using a prostitute to solve the case is not a big deal.
The policewoman took her to the stage, untied the rope, and asked her to stand facing the square. Then a policewoman picked up the loudspeaker and read out the verdict in her hand.
Li Yongxun stood a little further away. She couldn't hear clearly, but she also heard the words "Xin Na Chun" and "Custom Industry Self-Operation". She held her breath - since she was brought out to pronounce the sentence, she would definitely have to do something next.
If flogging is carried out, then the person is unlikely to be bait.
The female inspector opened the shackles - there were three holes on the shackles, which were used to lock the prisoner's head and hands. Once closed and locked, the prisoner could not move at all and could only bend down in a torture posture. Xin Nachun tried to
He struggled and was immediately scolded. Then he was locked up.
A man wearing a police uniform but without an armed belt walked up the steps with a whip and walked directly behind Xin Nachun. With a wave of his hand, Xin Nachun's clothes were torn off, and the crowd immediately
There was a commotion, and people's necks suddenly stretched.
Li Yongxun's throat felt dry for a while. It was not uncommon for her to torture female prisoners. She had also seen a lot of men, but it was all in a secret room, where her clothes were stripped off in public, exposing her private parts.
―Even being a prostitute is an extremely shameful thing.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty yamen, when a prisoner is tortured with a cane, the female prisoner can leave off her underwear to preserve her dignity. However, prostitutes and female prisoners involved in adultery are not included in this category. However, the court trial is still some distance away from the crowd watching the trial.
The distance, not to mention the fact that the person is lying down, is not like standing up and being tortured like an exhibition.
The first whip struck hard, and Xin Nachun's face spasmed and she let out a short scream. She took a few steps and changed her angle, and she could clearly see Xin Nachun's buttocks - she could
I don’t have any special hobbies, I just want to observe whether it is a real beating. There is already a purple-black raised ridge on the skin: this is definitely a real beating, not a trick of "the tip of the stick touches the ground" - this kind of cheating cannot be hidden from her
, since it was a real fight, the possibility that Xin Nachun was the bait was a little less likely.
The most important thing is that with this kind of whipping method, after fifty lashes, Xin Nachun's buttocks will definitely be left with "blowouts". The so-called "blowouts" are the scars left after being punished by the cane.
If a woman has bruises on her buttocks, it is equivalent to announcing that she has committed adultery. Even if she is a good person, no one may want her. If she is used as fish bait for the Australians, the price is too high.
Now Li Yongxun was a little confused: Since she was not a bait, why did she risk such a crime to "illegal solicitation" on the embankment? Although her cousin-in-law was a romantic figure and often visited the brothel, he never engaged in secret prostitution.
On the side of Liu Ying. It is reasonable to go to Kawara Street to enjoy the Australian "big sword", but it is absolutely impossible to hook up with a street girl.
Could it be that she was really in a daze to seduce Lin Ming? Li Yongxun secretly muttered in his heart. At this moment, someone suddenly called her from behind:
"Comrade trainee associate coordinator!"
Li Yongxun's thoughts were interrupted. She quickly turned around and saw Zuo Yamei:
"What's up?"
"I have a question and I'd like to ask you."
Li Yongxun returned to the office, and the two continued to discuss work until the work of the Magistrate Court was over. They processed all the paperwork together, and then returned to the police station together.
There was no overtime notice in the evening, so Li Yongxun stayed in the office for a while to finish the matters at hand. In fact, her purpose was to wait for the evening public security report: everything was business as usual, and nothing related to Lin Ming could happen. She felt a little calmer,
It seems that the Political Security Bureau has not targeted him yet.
When he returned to the dormitory, he saw Zuo Yamei dressing up. Her hairstyle was a pure "Australian style", her long hair was flowing but not messy at all. She didn't know what method was used. Li Yongxun only knew that she would disappear every week.
After half a day, her hair was "new" when she came back, which made her feel a little "mysterious" about Zuo Yami.
As for the "Women's College of Arts and Sciences" - she herself attended a police class in Fangcaodi for a year, and had never heard of such a school in Lingao. These graduates of the "Women's College of Arts and Sciences" only suddenly became famous last year.
It popped up and was filled in various departments, but originally no one knew about this school.
The students in this school are not only superior in appearance, but also elegant and generous in their manners and manners - not shy and reserved like a boudoir daughter, but with every word and deed, they reveal an indescribable "temperament".
Li Yongxun has a small inferiority complex from time to time.
In addition, their clothing and accessories often have things that others do not have and cannot be bought on the street. Therefore, there are rumors that the students in the College of Arts and Sciences are actually the daughters of the "chief". However, those who have come into contact with the "little ones" in the academy
Although the naturalized people's theories of "seniors" are somewhat similar, they are different.
To say that they are really similar, it should be said that they are the maids of the chiefs. However, it is a bit inappropriate to connect the two. Moreover, it is dangerous to discuss the people around the chiefs in depth, so no one will delve into it.
.
Li Yongxun worked as an errand during her family, and she knew very well that "people who are errands always have to be tight-lipped," so she never participated in such discussions. However, this did not mean that she did not have any doubts about Zuo Yamei and her group of classmates. They would disappear legally from time to time.
For a few days, the official reason was "business trip". But Li Yongxun knew that they were not on a business trip at all - every time Zuo Yamei came back from a "business trip", she was "radiant" and not at all "traveled".
"You want to go out so late?" Li Yongxun was a little surprised.
"Well, at short notice, I'm on a business trip tonight." Zuo Yamei tilted her head and brushed her hair quickly with a hairbrush, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
After Zuo Yamei finished speaking, she put on the "Australian clothes" hanging by the bed. Li Yongxun originally thought this outfit was a bit strange, but this time he couldn't help but secretly envy: It's so beautiful! (To be continued)
