Xu Dian and Zhou Shuren Fan Ainong talked and walked by the West Lake together. The three of them are about the same age, all in their mid-thirties. The people's party's cafeteria food pays attention to balanced nutrition, although Xu Dian is a little more serious, his complexion is very good, and he looks younger than the two people next to him. Fan Ainong's black eyes are relatively small, in other words, he has a little white eyes, and when he can't take his eyes off it, he has the perception of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, which is also the reason why he stood next to the crowd and almost attracted people to trouble him. When Fan Ainong really glared at Xu Dian hard, this expression seemed even more fierce and vicious in the eyes of others.

Prosecutor Xu Dian didn't care about such a move at all. Mo said that being stared at fiercely was that he was shouted to kill Xu Dian's family, and it was not unheard of in court. What's more, Xu Dian still admires Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong.

Seeing that Fan Ainong was silent, Xu Dian asked again, "I have heard a saying before, the truth will never hurt us." I don't know what the two of them think about it. ”

How could such a smart person as Zhou Shuren not know what Xu Dian was referring to, Fan Ainong was a little emotionally exposed, and when he heard Xu Dian ask again, even Zhou Shuren couldn't help but sigh. For the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Cai Yuanpei is one of the many high-ranking figures in the past. For the literati of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the impact of Cai Yuanpei's trial is indescribable. This is already the feeling of an idol falling.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xu Dian slowed down and pointed to a willow tree in front of him, "Two, I saw a willow tree in front of me, it should be right." ”

Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong glanced at each other, and both of them saw disgust in each other's eyes for Xu Dian's pretentiousness. However, when Xu Dian said this, the two of them couldn't help but answer, Fan Ainong replied in a rather malicious tone: "It should be right, but I don't know if Brother Zhou also sees it this way?" ”

Zhou Shuren was very polite, he replied indifferently: "There is indeed a willow tree in front. Comrade Xu Dian is right. ”

Xu Dian stepped forward and patted the trunk with his hand, and after listening to the dull sound of the trunk because of the tapping, Xu Dian withdrew his hand and rubbed off a bit of dead bark stuck to his hand, and then continued: "We saw the willow tree and touched the willow tree. If this is not an illusion, the existence of this willow tree is a truth. This truth doesn't hurt us, and I think it's probably right. ”

This is quite right for the taste of the literati, Zhou Shuren has a little respect in his expression, and Fan Ainong also put away his antagonistic attitude, although his white eyes still make people feel uncomfortable.

Xu Dian said with a smile: "Chairman Chen looks very serious, but he is said to have studied metaphysical things when he was a child. Once he said that there was a kind of spell called Spiritual Magic. Afraid that he couldn't understand, Xu Dian picked up a branch from the ground and wrote these three words on the ground. Fan Ainong and Zhou Shuren are both Japanese students, and they feel a little familiar after reading these three words, as if they may have heard of such things in Japan. Of course, they wouldn't do this in front of Xu Dian.

"The meaning of the spirit spell is probably when the person who knows this spell casts the spell. Let the people who hear him hallucinate, he says that there is a willow tree in front of him, and everyone will see that there is indeed such a willow tree in front of him. Magical very. After Xu Dian finished speaking, he laughed again, "But there is a problem with this spell, if the person who has fallen into the spiritual magic sees the real ......, for example, I will speak the spiritual technique, saying that there is a vibrant willow tree in front of it, but there is a willow tree here, but it is dead." Then reality and illusion exist at the same time, and reality stimulates the human brain and produces a kind of suffering. Under the effect of pain, the magic of speech will be cracked. ”

Looking at the flickering eyes of Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong, Xu Dian continued, "If an ugly monster uses speech and spirit skills to make people think that he is another handsome person, everyone will believe it after being hit by the spirit of speech." But if this ugly monster and the handsome person appear in front of everyone at the same time, everyone's brains will be stimulated by reality, and finally they will be able to recognize the disguise of the ugly monster. But the pain of brain stimulation is inevitable. ”

In fact, there is no need for Xu Dian to say it so bluntly, when comparing with willows, Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong have already roughly guessed what Xu Dian is going to say. Zhou Shuren's face was gloomy, and Fan Ainong simply said in a hurt tone: "I think Brother Xu will not be deceived, and he will definitely not be hurt by the truth." ”

Listening to Fan Ainong's ridicule, Xu Dian laughed, "This is impossible, people grow slowly in pain." I have suffered a lot of pain, and naturally I will not take the initiative to be hurt again. However, we must always do things in a way, if we can't follow materialism, we can't stress seeking truth from facts. It's not easy to get hurt either. ”

Fan Ainong's mood at this time is not suitable for education at all, even if he knows that what Xu Dian said is correct, even if he knows that the truth has been exposed by the People's Party and the world, but Fan Ainong still thinks that it is more comfortable for him to maintain the beautiful face of Cai Yuanpei in his mind. So Fan Ainong said to Xu Dian in a very angry tone: "Brother Xu, if you want me to say bad things about Mr. Cai, you are looking for the wrong person." ”

Xu Dian still smiled, "I don't have this idea, whether you say that Mr. Cai is good or bad, it's just a spiritual technique." What kind of person he is, just look at what he did realistically. ”

Although Xu Dian's words were very gentle, Fan Ainong felt a faint pain in his chest, as if his brain couldn't bear this pain, so he irresponsibly gave this feeling to his heart. Under the stimulation of pain, Fan Ainong's pupils contracted, his black eyes were almost smaller, and the whites of his eyes looked like they were more.

"Both, I'm talking to you about this today because I think both of you are very good people. Comrade Fan Ainong also submitted an application to join the party, so as a party member, I have the obligation to communicate with comrades about the party's ideas. Everyone participated in the great changes of this era with the attitude of saving China and promoting revolution. Chairman Chen has said that if we are not right to go east, then there is no need to ask, it is definitely not right to go west. We can only move forward, because history is a spiraling process. This is like a donkey blindfolded and grinding, east, west, north and south have passed, seemingly forward, seemingly running in all directions to seek the road. But still wandering around on such a plane. If the road under your feet is upward, after turning in circles, you will always rise to the sky and go towards the vast sky. I hope that both of you will choose this direction. ”

Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong didn't expect Xu Dian to use the blindfolded donkey grinding as a metaphor for revolution, and when they recalled the appearance of the donkey pulling and grinding they had seen in their minds, they couldn't help but smile on their faces. imagined what would happen if there was an oblique upward road under the blindfolded donkey's feet, and they insisted on going like this, and the expressions of the two unconsciously became serious.

After a long while, Fan Ainong said slowly: "Brother Xu, Mr. Cai is a revolutionary predecessor after all, and he has made great efforts for the revolution. If you kill him with a knife, even if we are sad, we will feel some comfort. humiliated Mr. Cai to such a point, even though I knew that he deserved it, but I still couldn't bear it in my heart. ”

After saying this, Fan Ainong felt that the pain in his chest not only did not disappear, but became more intense, he took a breath and continued: "Brother Xu, I actually don't want to see the real Mr. Cai, I hope that Mr. Cai will always be the Mr. Cai who will assassinate the Manchu high-ranking officials and even the Empress Dowager Cixi at the cost of his life." What I want to see is Mr. Cai, who dares to make a revolution and has the courage to revolution. I hope Mr. Cai will always be that kind of person! I don't want to see the real thing! ”

Zhou Shuren didn't speak all the time, and after listening to Fan Ainong's sincere confession, Zhou Shuren couldn't help but turn his face in the direction of West Lake and sighed softly again. However, Xu Dian knew that the reason why the sigh was so soft was because Zhou Shuren's lips were tightly closed, his teeth were clenched together, and the breath was exhaled from his nostrils.

Xu Dian still smiled and said, "Comrade Fan Ainong, Comrade Zhou Shuren, you two should both walk through the mountain road, right?" Answer me, have you walked through? ”

"Walk through." "Walk through." Fan Ainong and Zhou Shuren replied one after another.

Xu Dian nodded, "Look at this mountain road, it winds up first, and it also circles around the mountain." We saw from the bottom of the hill that there was a good place on the road above, so we walked up the road, and followed the blind walk of the east, west, north and south of the road, and we would definitely come to that point. When we were down the mountain, that spot must have been on our head. But by the time we get to that point, we've definitely stepped that point under our feet. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Dian's expression became serious. "Mr. Cai is a revolutionary senior, this is the truth, this is the truth. You and I must recognize this fact and admit this truth. But the revolution is upward, and Mr. Chua thinks that the position he has reached is the end of the revolution, but we in the People's Party believe that it is only a stage on the road to the revolution. At this time, Mr. Cai felt that if he went any further, he would be on the evil path, and whoever wanted to continue to move forward, Mr. Cai would kill him. Then when he was down the mountain, Mr. Cai was indeed a revolutionary predecessor, and there was nothing wrong with that. But when we have come to this point, and we continue to move forward, Mr. Cai is a counter-revolutionary. There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Xu Dian's words were already quite polite, but Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong did not refute it, let alone get excited. Zhou Shuren lowered his head, but Fan Ainong closed his eyes when he raised his head. Both were silent.

Taking care of the emotions of the two, Xu Dian paused for a while before continuing, "So, the truth will never hurt us. Both, Mr. Cai hasn't changed, it's you who have changed. It is you who have relied on your own strength to walk along this road from east to west, north and south, and have reached a new height. The two of them didn't look at Mr. Cai when they kept moving forward, and they didn't see that Mr. Cai had stopped. When you last saw Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai was still above you. You also don't see exactly what kind of road you have traveled, and you have done your best to keep going in the difficult trek. Who could think so much. So when you see Mr. Cai again, you still think that Mr. Cai is above you. You think that Mr. Cai is still going up when you go up first, and he is going up more than you at this time. But what is the truth? The truth is that the two of you have already surpassed Mr. Cai on the road of revolution. Mr. Cai is already behind you, below you. That's the truth I want to tell both. I hope both of you can see that. ”

Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong are not fools, let alone muddy people. Since Xu Dian didn't talk nonsense, both of them had gone through so much, and they quickly understood what Xu Dian said. Zhou Shuren and Fan Ainong couldn't help but glance at each other, the painful look disappeared, and the two only saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

Fan Ainong walked to the willow tree beside Xu Dian, first touched the rough book cover of the willow tree with his palm, and then began to pat the willow tree with his palm. Xu Dian and Zhou Shuren saw that Fan Ainong's speed was getting faster and stronger, and they wanted to step forward to stop it. saw that Fan Ainong stopped patting, covered his face with his red palm, and cried in a low voice. The two stepped forward to comfort Fan Ainong, but they saw that Fan Ainong had tears on his face at some point, and it seemed that he had been crying silently for a while.

However, Fan Ainong's cry is no longer the panic and despair of not being able to accept the facts, but the sadness brought by the regret from the heart.

When Fan Ainong regained his composure, Xu Dian asked him to wash his face casually by the West Lake, and then continued the conversation.

"I invited two of you here today, one is to solve the problem of understanding the two of them, and now it seems that it has been solved. Then let's move on to the second thing. Our People's Party is a group of mortals, heroes who can't die for a penny. So this trial must be more efficient. This is the instruction of the Party Central Committee. Both of them are heads of the education system, and they know how many people have come recently. I'll have to discuss this with you. ”

There have been hundreds of massacres in western Zhejiang, with tens of thousands of participants, and it is a terrible task to completely practice seeking truth from facts. Procedural justice means a huge amount of expense, and it will take at least half a year just to sort out all the facts of a series of crimes, according to the optimistic estimate of reviewing three cases a day, just by sorting things out in court. If there are twists and turns in the middle, it is not uncommon for a year.

Xu Dian was once a legal supremacist, and when he saw the entire list, as well as the various expenses that were needed, Xu Dian's face turned green. This expenditure can completely use the annual budget of the judicial departments of more than a dozen provinces in the liberated areas. The huge gap between ideals and reality must be filled with a huge amount of money. Even without counting the money, the daily food, drink, housing, and guarding of the hundreds of thousands of people who were arrested are all terrible expenses. Investing this money in economic construction is enough to change the livelihood of half of Zhejiang.

The central authorities, including the central authorities, have a view that they should make a decision on this as soon as possible and that there is no need to be too detailed. However, Chen Ke had a different idea about this matter, "The counter-revolutionaries slaughtered the masses, let's have a revenge massacre against the counter-revolution." If you do this, the cost can really be reduced. But when we take a person's life, it comes at a cost. The reason why the law enforces order is not for punishment, but in a social sense, it is to punish the former and the latter, and to cure the sick and save people. If the People's Party stresses science and democracy, then it must have a legal system. Rely on the rule of law to safeguard science and democracy. If we deprive so many people of their lives, we must let the masses understand through this great trial how the legal system works and where the criterion drawn by the legal system is. Otherwise, what's the point of us killing so many people? We must be responsible not only for ourselves, but also for our enemies! Without such an attitude, the whole trial and execution would have turned into a carnival of limited significance, a celebration. ”

After many discussions, a resolution was finally reached. The central authorities have given more financial and manpower support to this trial, and Zhejiang has recently taken this matter as the core work, and all law students in the liberated areas have been transferred to Zhejiang to participate in the trial work. In addition, a large number of comrades from various departments were dispatched to participate in the trial. In addition to the trial itself, it is important to complete the internal education of the judicial system.

After introducing the situation, Xu Dian concluded: "Although it is unrealistic to want to establish a judicial system in Zhejiang at one time, and it is even more unrealistic to want all the people to establish a concept of the legal system, we have to do our best. The cost of social operation is too high, and the costs we can use are all the income of the masses' labor, so we can't waste it as much as possible. Therefore, how to use these costs efficiently is an important practice. Everybody's got to work hard! ”
