On September 20, 1942, the two cases were published in all the major newspapers in Northeast China, as well as the drafts of the two laws, which had been revised by many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A big legal discussion began.

On September 24, 1942, all the major newspapers in Northeast China published the investigation report on Xie Wendong's case.

At the same time as the report was released, Xiaolu published a signed article, "No Rules, No Circle--The Relationship between Law and Social Order".

The next day, the newspaper continued to publish legal stories from various countries and eras, introducing the common knowledge of the laws of each country.

In the past few days, all organs, schools, the military, and even the rural areas in the entire northeast have begun to study law.

This study, aimed at the characteristics of the low level of popular culture, just said, what can be done, what cannot be done, what to do and what is a crime.

Some are very easy to understand, for example, it is illegal to beat someone, murder, or steal, but some are not easy to understand, for example, it is not allowed for Lao Tzu to beat his son, and if the circumstances are serious, Lao Tzu will go to jail. Mothers are not allowed to force their children to bind their feet, and it is illegal to force them to bind their feet. Monogamy is legal and protected, while polygamy is illegal and is a crime of bigamy.

After a few days of foreshadowing, Xiaolu held a meeting to discuss Xie Wendong's case. This time, there was much less opposition. Zhao Shangzhi, who was very excited about Xie Wendong's case, stopped talking.

On October 2, 1942, the Harbin High Court opened to try Xie Wendong's case. Thousands of people attended the hearing. The trial lasted five days, and on each day the proceedings were made public in the newspapers.

The entire Northeast, the entire liberated areas, and the whole of China are discussing the Xie Wendong case. After a few days, the case became an iron case, and on the last day, Xie Wendong was completely desperate.

On October 10, 1942, Xie Wendong was executed, and several other cases are also being heard, some are sentenced to death, some are life imprisonment, and some are fixed-term imprisonment.

Before Xie Wendong died, Zhao Shangzhi met him. Xie Wendong was grateful to Zhao for coming to see him, and after the group, Xie Wendong said to Zhao Shangzhi: "I want to see the commander-in-chief alone." ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "I promise to pass on the word to you, as for whether the commander-in-chief sees you or not, I don't know." ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, the trail arrived at the prison.

The two sat opposite each other. Because Xie Wendong is a high-ranking cadre, he has always been treated preferentially in prison, and the jailer comes from the old prison system, and he has a sharp eye, knowing that he is a senior official, and he is very polite to him. However, in the past few days, he has not eaten well and lost weight. It turned out that the light on the bald head was gone.

Xiao Lu said: "Director Xie, do you want to see me?" ”

Xie Wendong said: "Commander, do you want to kill me?" ”

Xiao Lu said: "Director Xie, have you ever shot a criminal subordinate?" ”

Xie Wendong said: "I have been shot." Some of them were ineffective in combat, and some wanted the Japanese army to betray me. There is no offense in money. I'm very generous with your money. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Director Xie, from a personal point of view, you are my elder. Persist in the War of Resistance and be a hero. The two of us are old comrades-in-arms, and we rolled over in a trench. Compared to those dead comrades, we are lucky to be alive. Every time I hear that an old comrade-in-arms was killed in battle, or even wounded, I am so sad that I am going to die. You know that. However, from the perspective of the public, we are colleagues, in fact, we choose this path, which is to abandon some personal pleasures. We are fighting the world and have ideals. But it is the law that governs the world, and the prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the people. You shoot the criminal's men, and the reason is the same. We are now running a country, not a small army as before. ”

Xie Wendong said: "These days, I write materials and go through everything in my head, and it's really not worth it when I think about it." ”

Xiaolu said: "What do you want?" ”

Xie Wendong said: "Commander, I want to see Chairman Mao." I have credit, Chairman Mao is a person who misses old feelings, and he will not kill me. ”

Xiaolu said: "If it was his order, you said so?" ”

Xie Wendong said: "Then I won't say anything." ”

Xiao Lu took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and said, "Let's take a look." The plane was rushed over. This is the order signed by Mao Gong for the final review of Xie Wendong's death penalty case, "agreeing to the death penalty." ”

Xie Wendong looked at it, his face was as dead as ashes, and he said for a while: "I didn't recognize the Communist Party before, it was Commander Zhao who pulled me in, and when I met you, I really knew that the Communist Party was orthodox and could achieve great things." I went to Yan'an to train and met Chairman Mao Gong, and I knew that Chairman Mao Gong was the true son of heaven, and although Lao Jiang was orthodox, he couldn't make a big deal. I will hand it over to Chairman Mao in my life. The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die. The chairman killed me Liwei, and I didn't die in vain. ”

Xiaolu lit a cigarette for him and said, "If there is anything at home, it does not violate the principles, and if it can be done, I will do it." ”

Xie Wendong said: "My son also came in, and my brother-in-law also came in." They may not end well. Right? ”

Xiaolu said: "Your brother-in-law has a murder case, you know this." You also know your son's role in your case, and several newly discovered episodes are more serious than yours. You're guessing pretty much the same. ”

Xie Wendong said: "Let my grandson go to a remote place and be incognito." They can't be allowed to be officials. ”

Xiaolu said: "Your grandchildren are all teenagers. I will take care of them, give them the opportunity to learn and be educated, and let them be upright. They're all here, just outside, waiting to see you. I suggest you tell them to be good people. ”

On October 11, 1942, Xie Wendong was executed.

After the death sentence, the case spread throughout the army and in the liberated areas on the same day, and all cadres and masses studied it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the execution of Xie Wendong caused a series of incidents later.

After that, Yan'an set up a special legal committee, with Dong Lao Biwu and Wang Ming as the chairman and deputy director, responsible for drafting various laws.

The legal construction of the new China has arrived ahead of schedule.

This time, more than 100 cadres in the northeast committed economic crimes, and more than a dozen of them committed heinous crimes. Four cases have been concluded, three with a death sentence and one with a reprieve. All cases were tried smoothly because of the Xie Wendong case.

Among these people, there are cadres from the old Anti-Japanese Federation, cadres from Yan'an, cadres from Hebei, Shanxi and even Shandong, more cadres from the original puppet army uprising, and some representatives and children of local forces.

In 1942, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the output of autumn grain increased by more than half compared with last year, and the main reason for the increase was that many newly reclaimed land were planted with autumn vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and radishes.

Although there are millions of new victims, hundreds of thousands of new Japanese prisoners and Japanese pioneers, some new troops, and some new Russian refugees, the food of the entire Northeast will not be a problem until next summer.

By next year, there will be a lot of new land, and the refugees will be producing more food, and everything will be easy.

In addition, under the vigorous management of Chen Yun and others, the factories in the former enemy-occupied areas quickly resumed production, and the production and sales of steel, copper, coal, aluminum, rare metals, machine building, munitions, and building materials were all booming. After the resumption of production at the Shenyang Arsenal, half of the troops were replenished with ammunition in just one month.

Xiao Lu's mood was finally a little lighter, he felt that his mission to come to this era had been completed, the course of history had changed direction, and he could go back.

discussed privately with Xue Rui, Xue Rui was very conflicted, she was reluctant to leave this era, but she was very yearning for the future.

1, in later generations, Mao Gong ruled officials with an iron fist, killed Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, in exchange for 30 years of clean politics. He relied on his personal prestige and the mass movement, that is, the three-anti-five-anti movement, which was very effective, but because the procedures were not perfect, he also left some people with some handles.
