Chapter 160: Trial

In a Mongolian school on the outskirts of Baoding, Li Jun, who had his back to the students, was silent for a while, but he wrote a big word on the white paper in front of him.

"Han!"

Turning around, looking at the elderly Meng Sheng in front of him, who was only ten years old, Li Jun's expression was serious and serious, and after writing this word, he didn't say anything for a long time.

Most of the 20 or so young Mengsheng looked at the words on the white paper, they were not unfamiliar with this word, Han people, Han family, Chinese characters, Chinese, etc., if they were asked to form words, I am afraid that even the most immature Mengsheng could form more than a dozen. The Mengsheng looked at this word, but they were thinking about the teacher's intention in writing this word.

There were also a few people standing outside Mengxue, most of them were surprised by Li Liangxin's actions today, and they couldn't understand why he wrote this word today, thinking of the recent controversy in the city, and the faint Mengxuewai stood in people's hearts.

"Han!"

When he read this word, Li Jun's voice was slightly deeper, staring at Meng Sheng in the room. Today, he is a little different from the past, the melon skin hat on his head has also been removed, a Confucian scarf is worn on his head, and a cyan Han-style shirt stands in the classroom, which only makes everyone surprised, but they are worried about it.

"Han!"

The Mongols read the word along.

"The Han Dynasty Weilong, because of the famous works of the family, we are all Han people, since the Han Dynasty ancestor Liu Bangding Ding Central Plains, into the Han Dynasty, Han is the name of my Chinese family!"

Li Jun's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the students in Mengxue and those standing outside to hear it clearly.

Although it was an October day, it was already cold, but after he said this, several people standing outside Mengxue only felt a cold sweat break out all over their bodies, and their chests and backs were cold, but the young students listened carefully to the teacher's explanation.

Inside and outside Baoding City, most of them know that this Li Jun is like a person, as his name suggests, is a gentleman who worries about the country and the people, but he is cold-hearted, if it is literally said, Li Jun's heart is cold, but what he does is hotter than the hearts of empty words.

Because the ancestors of the Li family have a lot of money and hundreds of acres of fertile land, Li Jun, who had already made great efforts last year, did not follow the road to the end, but set up this Mongolian school in his own idle house, in addition to teaching other Mongolian schools, but also taught arithmetic, geography and other new school classes, for which he even won the reward of the governor of Zhili.

For the next few hours, more than twenty students sat in Mengxue, and more and more people stood outside Mengxue, Li Jun said there. Starting from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to the prestige of the Han Dynasty, to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the literature of the Great Song Dynasty, and then to the excitement of the Ming Dynasty, he talked about Han affairs there, told these students about the thousands of years in this land, told them what was orthodoxy, what was colonization, and told them what kind of people they were.

At first, there were only a few people standing outside the school, but by noon, the whole classroom was enveloped in an unusually solemn atmosphere. Not only was there a lot of people standing outside Mengxue, but in addition, in the classroom, on the usually empty stools, there were also some silent people, including elderly neighbors and young people, without exception, when Li Jun invited Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain, stake the land, and shave his head, these people all looked very sad and had a little indignation in their expressions.

“…… The Qing army concentrated artillery to bombard the northeast corner of the city, the city wall collapsed, the Qing army swarmed up, and Jiangyin was lost. Chen Ming was killed in a street battle, and Yan Yingyuan was wounded and threw himself into the lake, where he was dragged out of the water by the Qing army, and was killed without yielding. The Qing army slaughtered the city until the afternoon of the 23rd, and only "53 people" remained in the city...... Eighty said that Dai Fa was loyal, and he was a figure of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu; 60,000 people died with one heart and righteousness, saving 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Liangxin just sat there and said, looking at these students in front of him, he had to continue, because he knew that if he didn't say it again, he would have no chance to say, no matter how much these students could remember, after all, they just wanted them to remember that they were Han people, Han people who were born and grew up.

Finally, with a sigh, Li Liangxin saw Meng Xuewai twitch for a while, and then several patrol officers from the Baoding Patrol Police Battalion appeared at the door of Meng Xue, one of them saw that Li Liangxin was still sitting there, first surprised, and then shook his head and sighed, with a look of pity on his face.

When the figure of the patrol officer appeared in Mengxue, Mengxue was teased, but Li Liangxin still sat still, he looked at his students, looked at the onlookers inside and outside the classroom, but instead opened his mouth and sang there.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. Wide sleeves fluttering, where is it now. After several vicissitudes of life, several times of mourning. The clothes are insignificant, and they will eventually become a sound. I would like to return to the Han and Tang Dynasties and play the role of the palace merchant again. ……”

At this time, his voice trembled with excitement, and even sounded a little funny, but no one dared to laugh, and the Mengsheng sang this song that they were not unfamiliar with according to the teacher's singing, and even the people standing in Mengxue sang along.

After the singing, the Mengsheng saw tears slipping down their teacher's face, maybe they couldn't understand the teacher's mood at this time, but when they looked at the teacher, in the hearts of these young children, that word was buried forever.

Looking at the student, Li Jun stood up from his chair, his face was very pale, but there was a smile on his face. Some people who were familiar with Li Jun only realized at this time that this thin body seemed so tall at this time.

"I,"

Li Jun, who had tears on his face, glanced at the students in front of him.

"I ...... I ...... "But, something was blocking his throat." He didn't finish the sentence. Then he turned around, picked up the brush again, and with all his strength, wrote as many words as he could on the cardboard:

"Long live the restoration of the Great Han!"

Then he stayed there, leaning his head against the wall, not saying a word, just waving his hand at the students.

"Class is over...... Let's go. ”

No students left, and the students looked at the patrolman and the teacher against the wall, tears slid down their faces. The students respectfully left their seats, knelt in the aisle, and kowtowed to the teacher, "Go home!" Remember, what the teacher said today! Remember what kind of blood you shed! What are the words! ”

After accepting the student's salute, Li Jun looked at the patrol police battalion patrol officer who had not spoken since entering the Mongolian school, put his left hand behind him, and waved his hand again.

When the students kneeling in the hall raised their heads, they watched the teacher's childish voice ring out in the classroom.

"The teacher is a Han, the student is also a Han, the teacher is in prison, and the student is willing to follow!"

The immature voice only startled everyone in the room for a while, and some of the students' parents immediately rushed up and hurriedly pulled their young sons, but they regretted why they sent their children to Li Jun's school.

"Let's all go back! There is a heart to follow the teacher, the teacher feels it, but what the teacher thinks, but it is ...... Remember, what the teacher said today, remember that you are Han Chinese, just ......"

At this moment, a young man pushed open the door and walked in, also wearing a scarf and a blue shirt, Li Jun's son.

"Daddy!"

After saying that, Li Ziqiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

"Ziqiu...... You ......"

"Daddy wants to be loyal, and the son voluntarily follows, Jiashen has been the ancestor of the Li family so far, and now he is willing to follow his father into the ya, and wash the humiliation of the Li family with a weak neck!"

His son's words made Li Jun's face show some pain, and his hands trembled as if he wanted to touch his son's head.

"Xu Whistle Chief ......"

Seeing this scene, a patrolman was about to speak, but the patrolman who took the lead shook his head, his eyes looked directly at the few students and Li Ziqiu who were kneeling on the ground, and Li Jun who was standing.

Cruelty always needs to be faced, and the hearts of compatriots who have long been numb need to be awakened by the blood of people with lofty ideals. Xu Jiuming clenched his fists and eyes, the reason why Li Jun stayed may be to use his own blood to wake up his compatriots.

But...... Looking at Li Ziqiu, who was kneeling on the ground and had a stubborn face, this was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, thinking that he took a step forward, and hit Li Ziqiu with his right hand into a palm and hit the back of Li Ziqiu's head, Li Ziqiu, who was stubbornly looking at his father, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground.

"Thank you......"

Looking at Li Ziqiu, who had fainted on the ground, Li Jun looked at Xu Jiuming in surprise, with a faint smile on his face.

"There is labor!"

After that, Li Jun walked out of the classroom in the kowtow of the students, and behind him there were several patrol policemen, and the people around looked at this Li Jun with complicated eyes, when the group walked in the city, some of Li Jun's classmates on the side of the road saw him like this, often first shocked, and then he clasped his fists with both hands, raised to the top of his head and bowed at Li Jun is long.

The main hall of the Yamen of the Governor of Baoding suddenly opened. The deacons of the third class and the six rooms gathered on both sides of the hall with black and red water and fire sticks. Seeing Yuan Shikai coming over, the officials roared: "Oh-" and stood in order. The officials and officials standing at the entrance of the yamen were all waiting at the bottom of the hall.

After the drum sounded in the Santong Hall, Yuan Shikai came out of the hall steadily and took a seat under the "Mirror Hanging" plaque in the center. On both sides of the public desk, there are scribes and masters. For a time, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili was solemn and solemn, coughing and wheezing.

This is a big case that has dragged on for several months, and although only one person is involved, now this case is a major case that has caused a sensation throughout the country and reached the heavenly court. Originally, the "Li Jun" case in Baoding did not cause much of a sensation, and it can even be said that it could be completely suppressed by the local government, but after Li Jun was arrested in Mengxue, the newspapers in Shanghai and Tianjin were read one after another, and its impact was almost not under the "Su Bao Case" a few months ago, and in the eyes of the newspapers, "Li Jun" became almost a national hero.

Because of this, in the face of the increasingly fierce pressure of public opinion, the imperial court directly came to the court order, and the governor of Zhili quickly decided the case. However, it is said that since the Gengzi year, this is the most sensational case in the Great Qing Dynasty. As soon as they heard that the Governor Yamen was going to close the case today, the people of Baoding rushed to tell each other, and everyone was really concerned and moved, and not only that, but even Chinese and foreign reporters from Tianjin, Shanghai, and other places.

In an instant, the city was dispatched, and thousands of people were empty, although the sky was snowing, and the sky was cold. But there are still tens of thousands of people standing in front of the governor's yamen far away, squeezing over and hugging over, who doesn't want to see this rare case with their own eyes, and see how "Li Jun generously reprimanded Yuan Shikai".

As the patrol police battalion manager, Xu Jiuming has to maintain law and order and guard prisoners, and he is already tired and sweaty. Hearing the sound of drums, he hurriedly told the patrolmen.

"Stop the crowd for me, don't come closer. If anyone has stepped on the lime line, give me a whip! ”

With that, he strode into the lobby himself, and said after bowing.

"Your Excellency Governor Qiqi, there are too many people watching the excitement outside, and I can't stand here to wait, please forgive me."

Listening to the noise outside the ya, Yuan Shikai just frowned and said.

"It's hard for you, you can go."

After speaking, he suddenly turned his face, slapped the shocked wood with a "snap", and shouted: "Take someone to commit a crime!" ”

"Piercing!"

The officials roared and came in with a prisoner with iron chains and silver bells. At this time, Li Qun did not know how many times he had passed the hall, and he did not know how much torture he had suffered, and he was dragged to the hall with a limp, although his face was completely bloodless, but he was not half-dead like a prisoner in the past.

At this time, he only listened to Yuan Shikai's orders.

"Master Xu, you have come to declare their crimes."

"Yes, sir."

Xu Jiefan agreed, then took a long excerpt from the desk and read it. The names, ages, places of origin, and causes of action of the 18 prisoners awaiting execution are more than 20,000 words. These have been verified many times by the prefect and the governor's yamen.

However, Xu Jiefan's expression seemed to be a little dazed, and he was not even willing to face these eighteen people to be decided. He was so energetic that he read it for more than an hour before he finished it.

The offense was finally read out. Yuan Shikai stared at Li Jun who barely stood up and was tortured with a dark face, this will make him really admire this weak scholar, when he rewarded him for running a new school, why didn't he see that this Li Jun actually had such integrity.

"Criminal, see this official, why don't you kneel!"

As soon as the words came out, Yuan Shikai even regretted his intestines, how did Li Jun's leg break, but it was broken in the governor's yamen.

"Li Mou's dignified Han people, how can they worship you, a thief who recognizes a thief as a father!"

Li Jun looked directly at Yuan Shikai on the stage. Yuan Shikai was stared at by this Li Jun, and for no reason he trembled in his heart, but he didn't dare to meet him, which would make him constantly scold his mother in his heart, this dog-mouthed Qing Laosi, if he didn't let him try this case, this case is a hot red taro, Lafayette and I don't know how many princes and ministers want him to die, but the people are applauding. This Li Jun took a class, and the two officials tried his reputation and integrity, but in the end, the court wanted him Yuan Shikai to bear this black curse.

"Han is full of Xia, Han is China's Zhengshuo, full of foreign rebellion, so Xiang Chengzi sells his body to Qing in culture is to abandon Xia and return to Yi, Yu Dajie is an orthodox rebel and rebel, and the drive of major events cannot become a pretext for its surrender. The big festival is a loss, the name is shattered, and the name of the scholar has been broken."

Standing barely in the hall, Li Jun still spoke generously as in the past, his words were only sarcastic Yuan Shikai's face was blue and red for a while, looking at this Li Jun, let alone going to a big punishment, even now he was cut down with a knife, I am afraid that it is difficult to understand the hatred in his heart, but he is not like others, he is ashamed and shouted angrily to be punished, and looked at Li Jun coldly, this person must be killed, do not kill him, Lafayette is dissatisfied, the court is not satisfied, let him say!

“…… How can you wash away the stigma of the second minister! ”

In the end, after Li Jun finished speaking, there was a burst of applause outside the yawai, and the applause only made Li Jun's heart comfort, he looked coldly at Yuan Shikai sitting on the stage, Yuan Shikai sneered, but he sneered.

"If you still remember the blood shed in this body, and remember the surname from which you came, and the place where you stand, please ...... to the north of your lordship."

Before Li Jun finished speaking, Yuan Shikai, who was pale and had been frightened by his words, suddenly slapped the shocked hall, and with a "snap", the whole room was shocked, which also interrupted Li Jun's words.

"My lord, such a talent is exactly what adults need, and please cherish your talents for the country!"

Xu Jiefan glanced at Li Jun at the same time, and Li Jun, who had no different color, felt sorry for this person in his heart.

But Yuan Shikai made a straight face and stared at Li Jun.

"If such a talent is left to the revolutionary party, wouldn't it be to add wings to the tiger, and then it will be worth it?"

The death penalty was immediately raised. Immediately, Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile.

"Hey, hey, hey...... How can a good one wash away the stigma of the second minister? Someone, pull this prisoner out, drag out the head of the owl to show the public! ”

"Humph!"

Li Jun snorted coldly twice, staring at Yuan Shikai on the stage without any fear.

"Today, the slaves of Suo Lu want to kill me, how do you know that hundreds of millions of Han people in this land of China have already awakened, and how can this knife kill! Li Mou advised the adults that if they were adults who knew things, they would have to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty to protect themselves, and they could wash away the stigma of the ministers......"

Yuan Shikai, who couldn't stop this sentence, stared at Li Jun standing in the hall, stood up, and clenched his fists.

"Yuan has been greatly favored by the imperial court for generations, and he should repay him with loyalty and righteousness, and he is a villain who is a troublemaker, and he is talking nonsense in the hall, and killing you alone is not enough to make the people angry."

Gritting his teeth and being ruthless, Yuan Shikai picked up the pen and revised the verdict regardless of everyone's surprise.

"Baoding Mengxue teaches Li Jun to rebel! This official will ask the court! According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, punish its nine clans, and all nine clans will be beheaded! ”

The officials in the hall and the reporters outside the hall were all stunned when they heard this, and Xu Jiefan was even more shocked to sweat profusely, he turned his head to look at the handsome man standing on the stage, and instantly understood the intention of the handsome.

The language is righteous and strict, but Yuan Shikai's heart is secretly crying bitter, how can he want to punish his nine clans, and how can he not know that this matter of punishing his nine clans has not been seen for many years in this Qing Dynasty, but if he says this, if he doesn't move, he is only afraid of ...... Yuan Shikai clearly knew that his most important guarantee was to win the trust of the Empress Dowager Xi.

It's a pity! Looking at the laughing Li Jun, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but at the same time, he smiled coldly in his heart.

"I want to play with my master, you're still a little tender!"
