"The verdict of the suspect Qiu Xiang is as follows: The suspect Qiu Xiang violated the first, 12th, 57th, and 213th articles of the Hongtang military regulations, and privately mobilized the Hongtang army, causing the death of 117 soldiers of the Hongtang army, and bears unshirkable responsibility, and the suspect Qiu Xiang is hereby sentenced to death!!"

"The verdict of the suspect Wang Jianjian is as follows: The suspect Wang Jianjian violated the Hongtang military regulations......"

In the secret courtroom, after more than half a month of strict and meticulous trial, a secret trial was finally held on the 593 members of various departments of Hongmen who had been arrested.

Accepting Gan Dabiao's suggestion, the trial was not announced or leaked, so at the time of the trial, except for the middle and high-level Hongmen, there were no other idle people present, but the trial court was a little bleak.

Li Tianyang also appeared in the trial court on a rare occasion, looking at and listening to the trial results of the trial led by Wu Hu with a complicated expression, after receiving and considering Li Tianyang and the other people concerned.

Regarding Li Tianyang's arrival, the thirteen backbone members of the Freemasonry led by Qiu Xiang were dazzled, and they looked back frequently with excitement, as if the trial of them in front of them was not as pleasant as the surprise of Li Tianyang's personal presence.

"Suspects Qiu Xiang and Wang Jianjian...... do you still have any disagreements about the trial of the trial court, and do you need to appeal?"

Wu Hu knocked on the startling wood and pulled Qiu Xiang's gaze back.

"There is no disagreement, obey the judgment of the trial court!!"

Knowing that he would not appeal at this time, then what awaited him would be the punishment of death, but as early as when he was arrested, Qiu Xiang and they had already prepared for the worst, for them, everything that happened when the land of the Qing people in Liaodong was locked was already the best reward for them.

Although he did not gain any benefits from it, he contributed to the construction of Hongmen and other buildings, and carried the sins that he should not bear for the leader Li Tianyang, and all this was worth it.

"Bang Bang !!"

"Suspects Qiu Xiang and Wang Jianjian...... After the thirteen Freemasons had pleaded guilty and did not appeal, the Guben Trial Court decided to execute the results of their crimes on the first day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen's reign and execute them. ”

Wu Hu is no longer surprised, for this group of people's attitude to face death calmly, since he and Wu Jie were investigating, he has already felt it, at this time the other party no longer appealed, but it also made himself a lot less troublesome.

It's just a pity that these good talents, who are elites in their respective positions, are now dying young, but in Wu Hu's opinion, it is too unworthy.

Fortunately, in addition to the thirteen members of the backbone of the Freemasonry, the remaining more than 500 members of the Freemasonry involved in the incident left a life, of course, the indispensable punishment cannot be escaped, but it is still a matter of good fortune to leave a useful body.

Dayuan Island and their people can't stay any longer, as members of an unknown organization formed in tandem in private, they will still make people scruple when they use it, so Li Tianyang and them After some discussion, they first carried out ideological and labor transformation of this group of people for some time, and then assigned them to Luzon, Dongjiang Town, Iriomote Island and other peripheral areas, first, to be able to use tenacity and not waste their talents, and second, to prevent them from continuing to stay in the Hongmen base camp at night. Then what incidents and groups come out.

Of course, even if they are put down in the outer area, the outer guards will send people to keep an eye on these suspicious elements at all times, so as not to cause their sparks to rekindle and rekindle.

"I hope you don't blame me, as a united group, your actions have shaken the backbone of our Hongmen, if you can't be severely punished, there will be more latecomers to follow your footsteps and have an impact with my leadership."

Before Qiu Xiang and the thirteen of them were escorted back to prison, Li Tianyang met with the thirteen of them again, and although the other party's behavior had an impact on the foundation of Hongmen, it was fair to say that their loyalty to Li Tianyang was unquestionable.

Even if they were sentenced to death at this moment, when facing Li Tianyang, they still looked at Li Tianyang with a posture of looking up at the gods and faith, making Li Tianyang feel uncomfortable, but they felt relieved and grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

What he has done, being able to have a group of confidants, this is the most worthwhile thing in the original ordinary Li Tianyang's heart, which also means that the career he has worked hard for in this half of his life will still have companions who appreciate and are willing to follow him, and they will be able to support him to continue to fight for it.

"My lord, we know that what we have done has embarrassed you and caused you a bad influence, all of this is what we deserve, and you don't have to worry about it."

"We only hope that in the years to come, you will remember our group of followers who are willing to dedicate their lives to your cause and to the future that you have all hoped for us."

"Of course, we hope that you can continue to maintain your original heart today, with the expectations of all of us, continue to struggle, and bring a different tomorrow to our nation and people!!"

Qiu Xiang and the condemned prisoners, not only did they not grieve because of the death sentence and other sentences, but said comforting words to the dull Li Tianyang with a smile, which made the whole scene a little weird, but full of warmth.

"Don't worry, the future I promised you will be my life's struggle, even if we may not succeed, but one day in the future, there will be successors like you, inherit our legacy, continue to work hard!!"

Li Tianyang raised his head, nodded firmly and resolutely, gently patted Qiu Xiang and the thirteen of them on the shoulder, and then watched them slowly walk out of the gate of the trial court one by one under the escort of Hongtang soldiers, dragging shackles and shackles, and were escorted to the prison where they were held, waiting for the final day of execution.

"Let's go!"

The matter finally came to an end, Li Tianyang's whole person looked excited, indescribably decadent, waved his hand and said hello to Wu Jie and the others, then turned around and walked back.

At this time, Li Tianyang no longer seems to be the leader who is strong and confident in front of people, nor is he a big man with great prestige in front of the people and soldiers, at this time, he is just an ordinary person who has lost a group of fellow travelers and a group of confidants.

Looking at Li Tianyang's back, Wu Jie and the others suddenly had a feeling of gloom, as if they saw the sadness of late autumn.
