In the temporary military court during the war, there were no cumbersome procedures at all, and the military judge read out the court discipline as usual, and then went straight to the point, asking the plaintiff to state the case, which made An Yi, who was worried about too many cumbersome and difficult literary statements, feel very comfortable.

At this time, Xia Jian, who was still in good spirits and had a stubborn face, was also brought to court, but his hands were tied in front of him with exquisite fine hemp rope.

Seeing this, Lai Mazi, who had a slightly long face and thick yellow hair, immediately stood up, took the pleadings handed by the captain next to him and began to complain, the content was simple and straight, nothing more than the following points:

The first is to accuse the criminal Xia Jian of coveting other people's homes and illegally disturbing the people, and after being exposed, he became angry and beat the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Army who were ordered to maintain local law and order; The second is to sue Xia Jian for breaking into private houses and forcibly annihilating women, and the last point surprised An Yi, and told An Yi that his military discipline was lax and that he did evil. Other times, places, people, events, and eyewitnesses are listed one by one, and it sounds like I don't know the inside story and think it's a heinous case that is not enough to kill the people.

An Yi's expression was natural and unmoved, but patted the arm of Liu's father and mother with his hand to show comfort, but An Yi's sharp eyes still saw a point: although Lai Mazi, who was five short in stature, was holding the paper, he always looked at the first line, and the captain clerk next to him reminded him in a low voice twice when Lai Mazi read the paper, it was obvious that this mountain king who wanted to save face was an illiterate man who couldn't read a few words.

The presiding judge in the middle took the pleadings from the clerk, examined them slightly, raised his majestic head, and after questioning several so-called witnesses on Mazi's side and obtaining affirmative answers, he turned to stare into the eyes of Xia Jian, the sinner in the hall, and asked sharply:

"At ten o'clock in the evening on the twelfth day of this month, you can jump over the wall and jump into the backyard of the Liu family, and then forcibly annihilate Liu Yanfang, the concubine of Yinfeng?"

"Never!"

Xia Jian replied loudly: "I was indeed at that time under the guidance of Miss Liu from the backyard over the wall into Liu's house, but I had no bad intentions, let alone forcibly annihilated Miss Liu, we just talked to each other together, during which I also suggested that Miss Liu sign up for the battlefield ambulance team of our Northern Expedition Army Headquarters and participate in the revolution with me for the Northern Expedition, but Miss Liu was worried that her parents would not agree, so I asked me not to alarm the two elders of his family, and we climbed over the wall." Again, Miss Liu is a free body, and there is no marriage contract with the surname at all, Miss Liu's brother and fiancé were both killed in the war of the warlords of the Miluo River in Hunan in March this year, if Miss Liu has a marriage contract, it is also this marriage contract, and it has nothing to do with the surname, so although I am in love with Miss Liu, I don't do anything with the surname. ”

"Nonsense! The two elders of the Liu family accepted my dowry three times, and the pleadings made it very clear that this is not a marriage contract. Haven't we all over Hunan been doing this for thousands of years? Since you have accepted the dowry, it is equivalent to agreeing to this family business, and it is a matter of course to go all over the world! Boy, you are a fool of yourself, looking for death? ”

Lai Mazi was furious, and yelled before the military judge could speak.

An Yi slowly stood up and suggested loudly to Judge Jun: "Report to the chief, the plaintiff has violated Article 4 of the court discipline announced by the presiding judge in court, and I suggest that someone be held accountable for the crime of roaring in court." ”

"You ......"

"Silence!"

The presiding judge interrupted Lai Mazi's words and gave a serious warning to Lai Mazi: "Although the defendant's proposal is excessive, it is also in line with the pre-announced court disciplinary provisions, and this judge now warns the plaintiff, and if there is any loud noise without permission, this court will severely punish him!" ”

Lai Mazi could only shut his mouth angrily, and sat down again under the low persuasion of the clerk next to him, while An Yi bowed slightly to the judge very gracefully, and sat down without saying a word with a smile on his face.

The presiding judge asked Liu's father and asked him to stand up and answer the question: "Defendant Liu Quan, have you accepted the plaintiff's three dowries from Yinfeng?" Father Liu replied tremblingly: "If you don't accept it, there is no way, Lai Mazi said that as long as I don't accept it, he will kill my whole family, I am afraid that he has a gun!" ”

"That's it, he insisted on putting those satin and silver bracelets on our table, and his eyes were wide open, so scary. While scaring us, he and a few soldiers also touched the gun, what do we dare to say? ”

Mother Liu also stood up to complain, and An Yi nodded slightly with satisfaction.

The judge asked in a loud voice to the almost violent Lai Mazi: "Come to Yinfeng, can there be such a thing?" ”

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense! When did Lao Tzu threaten these two old guys? It's a bloody mouth! Lai Mazi glared angrily at the bull's eye.

An Yi saw the judges discussing with each other, and lost no time in standing up and asking to speak, and after getting the judge's permission, An Yi walked to the clerk's desk under the judge's seat, picked up a thick copy of the Code, walked to the table opposite Mazi under everyone's puzzled gaze, gently placed the Code in front of him, took a step back and said loudly:

"Come to the head of the regiment, the little brother knows that you are illiterate, in order to train you well and give you a good book, from today on, you are my scholar, whether you want to or not, you can no longer sleep with your wife and other concubines, because you have accepted my dowry, from now on, your whole person belongs to me!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing.

At this time, An Yi walked to the center of the hall, bowed to several judges who forced back their smiles, thanked them, and walked back to their seats and sat down, deaf to the laughter in the room.

Liu Xiao was so happy that he thought to himself that grandma's coming to Mazi, no matter how awesome you were when you were the king of the mountain, when you met this subordinate of Lao Tzu today, you were planted at home!

The presiding judge lowered his face and asked An Yi: "Defendant An Yi, what do you want to explain by your behavior just now?" ”

An Yi stood up happily: "Judge, what I want to explain is that some people are dressed in the disguise of revolution, playing the role of warlords and robbers, relying on the fact that someone in their hands has a gun, bullying the weak and wanting to marry a people's daughter, and brazenly saying what traditional habits, what is justified, if the reason for coming to Yinfeng is valid, then the fact that I hired him as a scholar just now should also be established, not to mention that I still take cultivating the cultural knowledge of Yinfeng to let him learn the law, know the law, and then abide by the law as the starting point, which is more insatiable than him. Lustful and noble a thousand times over!

The only difference between this is that in front of me, Lai Yinfeng is not as weak and bully as the simple and helpless Liu family, and I am not as strong as Lai Yinfeng, who has more than 1,000 troops and strong forces, but I have a huge advantage that Lai Yinfeng cannot have, and may not be able to have in my lifetime, that is, to follow Mr. Zhongshan's revolutionary will, move forward bravely, and use my own sweat and blood to defeat the warlords and unify China, to realize the Sanming Cooking Righteousness advocated by Mr. Zhongshan, and to liberate thousands of feudal forces and warlords. The noble belief of the people, trampled on by local illegal armed forces and imperialist oppression, to strive for the realization of a unified and boiled new republic! ”

As soon as the words stopped, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause, and even the 24 gendarmes who maintained order in the courtroom could not help but applaud enthusiastically.

Liu Xing, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Eighth Army, saw such a scene, and shook his head helplessly, he knew that the illiterate Lai Mazi had already lost without trial, and the banner raised by An Yi was something that a mountain king like Lai Mazi could take?

Can you come to Mazi and be willing to admit defeat? He stood up angrily, pointed at An Yi and shouted: "I have all the evidence and material evidence, even if you talk about it, it's useless to say that the Xiangjiang River is flowing backwards!" Judge, I beg that yellow-mouthed child to be punished for cheating the court! ”

The little company commander who was beaten by Xia Jian and had a swollen nose and face also stood up to testify, saying that he saw with his own eyes that Xia Jian was absolutely not a lie, and when he saw several judges looking at him, he immediately talked endlessly, speaking vividly, as if he was standing on the side and watching when Xia Jian and Xiaofang were working.

An Yi stood up again without waiting for the judge's question, and asked the judge to allow him to ask a few questions of the so-called witness with his head full of bags.

Several judges from the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army had just enjoyed An Yi's wonderful performance, and they felt very unpleasant, and at this moment, seeing An Yi stand up and make a request, there was no reason to disagree, so An Yi easily got the opportunity to perform again.

An Yi still bowed politely and thanked him, walked unhurriedly to the witness with a full head, looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly asked loudly:

"Where are you at ten o'clock in the evening on the twelfth day of this month? Are you alone or do you have other accomplices? ”

"I'm the only one, in ...... Under the corner of Liu's backyard......"

"Hmph, as a revolutionary soldier, why did you sneak under the back wall of other people's houses alone in the dead of night, do you want to kill people and overhaul goods, or force people and women?" An Yi's voice was even colder.

The witness was startled: "No, I was ordered by our regiment commander to spy on Xiaofang, I didn't want to kill anyone, and I didn't dare to make evil intentions......"

An Yi took half a step forward, his eyes like torches: "Is the Liu family conspiring to rebel?" Was there a conspiracy to commit a crime? Do you owe money or your regimental leader? ”

"No, no, our head of the regiment was afraid that she would steal people without passing through the door, so he sent me." The momentum of the small company commander's witnesses has been completely taken away.

An Yi asked loudly: "As a revolutionary soldier, you actually bent the law for personal gain, did you climb over the wall and trespass into the house without permission?" ”

"Nope! I didn't go in, I just looked outside......"

"If you are just outside the courtyard wall, why did you just say that you saw Xia Jian carrying out a forcible annihilation in Miss Liu's room? Aren't you lying under perjury? Say! ”

"I ...... I heard it, I didn't go in, I guess it was a forced annihilation......"

The small company commander witness was so frightened that he was already incoherent.

An Yi smiled with satisfaction: "I'm done asking, please sit down...... Honorable Judge, everyone has heard what the witness just said, and as long as you are a person in your right mind, you can understand that this is absolutely a malicious planting. Take 10,000 steps back and say, Xia Jian really annihilated Miss Liu, and he should first ask whether the victim is true! Take another 10,000 steps back and say, after the victim admits it, as long as Xia Jian doesn't admit it, he must find evidence of forcible annihilation, but where is the evidence? Can the plaintiff provide Xia Jian's tools for committing the crime? Who can provide it? Ha ha...... My defense is temporarily closed, and I would like to ask the judge to review it. ”

The presiding judge looked at An Yi in surprise, and suddenly understood that he laughed, and everyone was very shocked to see the judge lose his temper like this, and then the person who reacted quickly couldn't control himself and laughed out loud.

The laughter became more and more, getting louder and louder, and even Xu Tingyao, who was laughing crookedly, looked at Xia Jian's crotch and laughed almost angrily, and the loyal Liu Xiao covered his mouth after listening to Hu Shusen's explanation, and finally understood what the crime tool An Yi was referring to.

For a time, the majesty of the provisional military tribunal vanished, and it became as breathtaking as a stage for everyone to enjoy together.

The laughter did not stop, An Yi thought about it and stood up again and said loudly: "Actually, the whole case has been very clear so far, on the one hand, it is forcible seizure, on the other hand, it is the mutual affection between the two people, high and low, true and false, you can know at a glance, not to mention that this case fell into the fair and sacred legal trial of our revolutionary army, where is the ugliness hidden?"

The trial of this case is the best time for our revolutionaries to smash the feudal shackles, awaken the people, liberate the people, punish the bullies, and eliminate the warlords.

If the plaintiff still has any objections, I will accompany the plaintiff to the end together with the kind and helpless three people of the Liu family, Xia Jian, an outstanding soldier of the third company and fifth platoon of the engineer battalion of the second division of the first army of our revolutionary army, more than 200 revolutionary soldiers full of justice in our company, and tens of thousands of kind, upright and resolute comrades of our army, and reserve the right to further pursue the plaintiff for false accusation, perjury, robbery of people's daughters, violation of military law, and other crimes.

After my appeal is completed, please judge it! ”

The matter was already very simple, the judges no longer collected evidence or interrogated him, and after less than five minutes of collegiate deliberation, they immediately announced that Xia Jian was acquitted, and gave a serious warning to the series of evil deeds committed by Lai Yinfeng, and instructed the Political Department and the Military Judge Advocate General of the Eighth Army to come up with a punishment decision for Lai Yinfeng within three days and report it to the headquarters for the record.

An Yi knew that this was a decision made by the judges in a balanced manner, but he was very satisfied with such an effect.

Seeing Xia Jian, who was released in court, standing opposite to the beautiful and kind Xiaofang, crying silently, and watching the two elders of the Liu family thanking God with relief, An Yi knew that he had done a very meaningful thing, and at the same time, he was also pleased to feel that he was making progress and maturing a little bit.

After the verdict was completed, dozens of people flocked to An Yi and praised him loudly.

An Yi humbly smiled and saluted one by one, which made the judges and a group of observers sigh with emotion, and everyone clearly knew that the trial process of this day would soon spread throughout the army, and An Yi's eloquence and wit, justice and heroic image would penetrate into the hearts of all the brothers, and even spread to countless people, achieving a good story of the tall image of the revolutionary army.

Liu Xiao and the officials couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, surrounded An Yi, kept stroking and patting his head, Hu Shusen said to study how to reward him; Yan Erai said that it's a pity that you don't engage in politics; Xu Tingyao smiled and asked why it was so abnormal a few days ago? An Yi replied that there were suddenly many confused clouds in his heart, so that he could not see the mental journey ahead, but now it has been swept away, and there is no confusion anymore.

The group of extremely proud generals of the Second Division walked out of the small hall together, and they were suddenly surprised to see the commander of the special agent company and the deputy beard of the third company striding towards them.

After listening to the report of the two, everyone knew that the unlearned and unskilled Lai Mazi was really a hopeless garbage, and he was embarrassed and angry, he secretly ordered an elite company under his command to raid the camp of the third company early in the morning, trying to snatch Xiao Fang who was sent to the camp, but he didn't expect that Xiao Fang had been quietly sent to the camp of the second division with his parents, and he didn't expect that the number of officers and soldiers in An Yi's company was almost equal to the two companies of ordinary engineers, and a company of Lai Mazi fell into the trap laid by Hu Zi and Yin Jinan in advance by taking advantage of the favorable terrain during the raid. Not a single one of the 130 people escaped. Now more than 100 scarred remnants of the defeated army have been escorted to the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, waiting for Shangfeng to deal with them.

Liu Xiao and the others looked at An Yi and Hu Zi in surprise, and asked them how they achieved such brilliant results?

An Yi modestly said the methods of several hunters to catch wild boars, which made the commanders greatly admire, cheered in unison, and said that An Yi should stop working as a sapper, just come to the main regiment! Only the steady Liu Xiao pondered for a moment and put forward his own suggestion: In view of the fact that the engineer battalion has not yet arranged a deputy position, should An Yi be declared to concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the engineer battalion? If so, is it feasible to add the word agency?

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately unanimously agreed, and An Yi was no longer humble this time, but stupidly happy......
