The results of the trial of Liu Xia, Lu Hongsheng, Secretary Wu and others, in fact, the people who knew about it in Quanhu City already had their own expectations in their hearts. But even so, four or five hundred people came to the scene on the day of the trial. Because it was a public trial, there were people from all walks of life, not only the courtroom was full of people, but even some onlookers stood in the corridors. And what TV stations, daily newspapers, free media, all of them are here.

During the trial, Lu Tao sat in the most corner of the courtroom seat, with no expression on his face, but his eyes kept looking at the door, and after seeing Lao Lu wearing shackles and being escorted into the house by the bailiff, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and his expression became more solemn.

The trial lasted more than three hours, and the presiding judge announced two adjournments in the middle, and the verdict was not announced until nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

First instance.

Liu Xia was sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life for the crimes of instigating homicide, dereliction of duty, and organizing an underworld gang.

After the verdict was read, there was silence in the courtroom for more than ten seconds before thunderous applause erupted.

"Good judgment!"

"He's going to die!"

“……！”

There were people at the door who followed suit, but Liu Xia had a calm and scary expression.

"You have the right to make a final statement. The presiding judge said to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia first smiled when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Since I have broken the law, I will admit how to sentence me." But it's not that I haven't thought about doing a good job, it's just that I'm not the only one Liu Xia in this city, and I can't make any noise about Liu Xia...... What I want to say is that all the people here today want me to die, they are criticizing me, they are saying that I have committed public anger...... But what you don't know is that mistakes go from small to big, and when I made the first mistake, there was no blame around, but praise all around...... So now, I don't know if I'm lost or if our society is lost...... Okay, that's what I want to say, I accept the verdict and don't appeal. ”

"Sophistry!"

"Fart!"

“……！”

After Liu Xia's words were finished, there were still shouts and scolding at the scene, but there were also people of insight who fell into thinking. Yes, Liu Xia has been brilliant in Hohhot for more than ten years, and has done evil things for more than ten years, why did no one discover his mistake until now? What is the problem?

Just when some people were thinking silently, Lu Hongsheng was sentenced to a suspended death sentence on more than a dozen charges of corruption, dereliction of duty, harboring, instructing others to kill, attempted homicide, and injury, and the second defendant, Secretary Wu, was also sentenced to a suspended death sentence.

After the verdict was handed down, Lu Tao's nervous expression eased slightly, and he knew that although it might be difficult for his father to return to the free world in his lifetime, he was still happy that he was alive.

"You have the right to make a final statement. ”

"I don't have much to say and I don't appeal. Lu Hongsheng's face was sallow, and his body was emaciated.

"I appeal, I am not satisfied!" Secretary Wu was still shouting, but the judge just glanced at him indifferently and replied softly: "After the verdict is issued, you can sort out the materials for appeal." ”

After all the main culprits were sentenced, everyone in the courtroom basically dispersed, and Lu Tao met his father in the corridor when he was about to be escorted back to the detention center, and the two had a brief conversation.

"Stay good, I'll see you every month. Lu Tao said with great guilt in his heart.

"Have you read the letter I left for you?" Lu Hongsheng asked softly.

"Looked. Lu Tao nodded seriously.

“…… Dad's life...... Your education is a failure...... I only taught you how to spend money and how to enjoy the results, but I didn't tell you how to earn the life you deserve. I have too strict control over your life, which hurts you and me. Son, on your future life, there will be no one to shelter you from the wind and rain, you have to work hard yourself, take care of your family, and take care of your mother. Lu Hongsheng grabbed Lu Tao's wrist with his handcuffed palm, and continued in a hoarse voice: "Your personality is not suitable for officialdom, let alone Vanity Fair...... So don't pay too much attention to the gains and losses, just live well enough. ”

"Dad, we're all waiting for you to come back!"

“…… Hehe. Lu Hongsheng smiled, and his eyes instantly moistened.

Yes, Lu Tao thinks that as long as people live, there is hope, and there will be a day when the family will be reunited, but what he doesn't know is that Lu Hongsheng's character can't tolerate waiting for death in prison at all.

Not to mention that his death is suspended, even if he is sentenced to 20 years, he will not be able to come out at his age. So he had already thought of a way back for himself, and decided in his heart to leave this world with dignity, instead of being locked up in the high walls of the power grid and only living in the world that was the size of a palm.

After the verdict was handed down, Lu Hongsheng was locked up in a prison on the outskirts of the city, and Lu Tao met with him more than a dozen times in a row, but the former chose to refuse.

Three months later, the prison informed Lu Tao that his father had accidentally fallen down the steps and died while working normally during the day......

Later, some people said that Lu Tao's great changes from the inside to the outside were definitely not just because of his father's affairs, but related to his extremely gloomy experience for a period of time.

Of course, all this is an afterthought.

……

The day after Liu Xia was sentenced, an interesting thing happened, that is, the parents of the cannon daughter-in-law who was forced to death by Guan Dong before, that is, Qingqing's parents, happened to be sent back to Nei M by the person who stopped the petition.

After the two came back, they were about to accumulate strength at home for two days, and when they entered Beijing again, many relatives suddenly came, and they dragged the two to the hotel.

While drinking and chatting, Qingqing's eldest uncle said to her father very happily: "Do you know? Liu Xia was sentenced to death!"

"Sentenced?" Qingqing's father was stunned on the spot, because he was busy petitioning during this time, either in Bei J, or receiving education, so he didn't know what was going on at home.

"Yes, he was sentenced to death. I didn't know when he was arrested, but he was sentenced yesterday and was on the news in the evening. The eldest uncle added again excitedly.

After Qingqing's father heard this, he was stunned for at least a minute or two, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't show much joy, but dried up the white wine in the cup with an expressionless face.

"No, I'm telling you this, why don't you look happy at all?

"Liu Xia was arrested because I kept petitioning him?" Qingqing's father asked rhetorically with a mouth full of wine.

When the words fell, the eldest uncle was stunned.

“…… The court sentenced him not to avenge my girl's grievances. Qingqing's father seemed to be muttering with a mouth full of wine: "It's too difficult for the little people to sue! Hehe, now it's okay, Liu Xia was sentenced to death, I don't even know...... What should I do in the future..."

The words fell, and there was silence on the table.

……

Three days later, Shen Tianze and others set off for Shen Y.
