"I believe that a breakthrough will be made soon. It would not be surprising if we found out that a terrorist group of republicans was involved in the bombing. ”

"Imperial Times" - "The First Seven of the Terrorist Attacks on Wuchang Wharf in Small Years"

After a normal terrorist attack or terrorist incident occurs, an organization will immediately claim responsibility for that incident. For example, after the assassination of the vice governor of Jilin Province, someone sent a letter to the newspaper office, and the letter contained a statement printed on a typewriter, which said: "The Jilin Provincial Patriotic Society declares responsibility for the assassination of the vice governor in the name of the sacred motherland." At the same time, the statement said that they were "fighters to achieve a republic for China and overthrow the emperor", and the purpose of their actions was very simple - "to kill the lackeys of the emperor and warn the other lackeys".

However, in the aftermath of the Xiaonian bombing in Wuchang, it was surprising that no one had declared responsibility for the bombing through traditional newspapers or new broadcasts, which was like an attack without anyone responsible, but even so, people still turned their suspicious eyes at the Republicans in the first place, after all, they had a history of multiple terrorist attacks.

Therefore, the investigators targeted them in the first place. At the same time, the country's newspapers were turning their eyes on them with suspicion, and there was almost no doubt that there would be mass arrests, not just in Hubei province, but on a national scale.

Tens of thousands of republicans were arrested, thousands of kilograms were seized, and a large number of terrorist attacks were planned, although those so-called terrorist attacks were nothing more than attacks on parcel bombs, detonating cars, sabotaging postal trains, etc., but for the prosecutors, they immediately prosecuted the perpetrators who tried to carry out the terrorist attacks in the first place.

At the same time, in the face of the tragedy of thousands of deaths, in the courts. The jurors, filled with anger at the "betrayal of the country and the massacre of the people", did not seem to know what the evidence of challenge was. In the face of the prosecutor's showcase. It may even be as little as a pound or two of black fire, and they will make a guilty verdict, and those judges will often unanimously choose to impose a heavy sentence, seemingly overnight. The whole country is gripped by hatred of the past.

"More and more people are being sent to prison, and 32 people were sentenced yesterday in Anhui. Several of the college students were found guilty of murder with intent simply because they were in possession of an unregistered handgun. He was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment ......"

Inside the Royal Palace. Looking at her husband, Ji Li said softly that in the past two weeks, as the queen, she has received letters from all over the country, many of which are from parents, brothers, sisters, and friends of the so-called "enemies of the state". In their letters, without exception, they vindicated their loved ones. They firmly believe that their loved ones are innocent and "victims of the nation's sorrow and indignation."

"On a train, there was a man who was considered a terrorist just because he had a copy of Future Republic, handcuffed in the carriage by an escort for three hours!"

Speaking of the events that happened after the whole country fell into a panic, Ji Li's brows furrowed slightly, in the past, she never knew that an attack could have such a big impact on the psychology of the people of a country, although a bullet in Sarajevo detonated this world war, and the whole world was torn apart because of those bullets, but when it comes to an event that changes the mentality of hundreds of millions of people in a country, in the history of mankind, I am afraid there is no event that can be compared with the terrorist attack at Wuchang Wharf.

It can be said that since then, the country has lost its tolerance for republicanism, and people have distanced themselves from those people, while more people have called them "enemies of the state": "They are a group of pawns used by foreign enemies of China, and what they have never pursued has never been the strength of the country, or the so-called equality of all, what they have pursued is to destroy the country and slaughter the people here. ”…,

Originally, the country and its people were extremely tolerant, and Ji Li saw her husband sign orders to send millions of former rulers and Han Jiān to forced labor camps, and she also saw firsthand that in the National Assembly, those legislators who seemed to have no power, out of justice, attacked the "injustice" in the forced labor camps, and finally, thanks to their efforts, the forced labor camps were disbanded and millions of people ended the "labor reform".

Once again, the Chinese have proved their tolerance to the world! Right and wrong, leave it to history! It was a phrase that her husband had signed when he signed that order, and perhaps he was a little extreme on some issues, but Gilly had never doubted his kindness, as he did now.

"As Your Majesty, you have the right to pardon them!"

Looking at her husband expectantly, Ji Li knew that he was likely to pardon them.

"But ......"

Looking at his wife, although he understood that there must be many "unjust, false and wrongful cases", Chen Moran was far from that simple.

"As their parent, I also have the right to protect them!"

At this time, Chen Moran did not put himself in the position of the emperor, but in the position of "parent".

"They may be making mistakes, and I may be able to forgive some, but what's the point? My pardon does not correct the wrong! Or even just acquiescing to the mistake! ”

At this time, Chen Moran's words were somewhat helpless.

"All cases are made by juries who have heard the evidence and delivered its verdict. Our judicial system demands respect for their decisions. Even as an emperor, I need to respect their decisions, and at this moment, I guess the only thing I need to do, is to think of the families of those innocent victims of that terrible crime and pray for them, the only thing we have to do. ”

The jury is an indispensable part of the current judicial system, so why did you choose the jury system in the first place, among the many trial systems in the world? The jury system is not an invention of the Chinese, in fact, it is also a judicial system introduced into Europe and the United States with the establishment of the legal system.

Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the judicial system was extremely dark in China's history. Prisons are like hell, and they are full of tricks in the government. Even a hundred years later. Chen Moran has also suffered from the injustice of the judicial system, and has also witnessed the occurrence of "unjust, false and wrongly decided cases", and it is precisely because of this that he will be cautious when formulating the judicial system.

"It is necessary to avoid the judicial system becoming the umbrella of a few powerful people as much as possible, and it is necessary to protect the judicial company at all costs."

That's why. As early as the reigning fǔ era, at the suggestion of Zhang Feng and others. Following the example of Europe and the United States, the jury system was gradually established. After the founding of the empire, Chen Moran affirmed the jury system as part of the Constitution. This judicial system plays a more important role in maintaining social fairness and justice than the right to vote. Establish such a system. Its legislature is to prevent abuse of power by officials of the government and the government. Trampling on social justice.

It is true that the jury system has obvious weaknesses, but all "legal systems" will have the difficulties of the "human system", the initial legislation, and the trial process. In the final judgment, "people" are involved. After the legislation of the predecessors. There is a possibility that it will be corrected by future generations. In the process of law enforcement, there are different interpretations of legal provisions by different people. As you can see, some of the same legal provisions can be interpreted and implemented in different countries.

No matter what kind of trial system, the final "life and death decision" is always made by "people", whether it is a judge, a so-called legal expert, or a jury. However, in any case, we have seen that although the lawyers of both sides have fully presented their respective witness evidence, even the legal experts have made their own judgments, and different judges and different legal experts will still come up with different results. …,

Moreover, the jury system was designed to assert that if everything was clear and clear, the intelligence of ordinary people would be sufficient to judge. If the evidence is contradictory and doubtful, the legal instructions for the judgment have made it clear that the defendant must be "acquitted" in this case. If everything is disputed, the law also stipulates that the trial will be declared a failure. Therefore, at this time, the key issue is no longer whether the adjudicator is a professional, but whether the adjudicator is impartial.

This impartiality means that the adjudicator has absolutely no motive to frame the defendant in the first place, and as far as possible, he is not affected by any other influence, but only on the basis of evidence. The reason why Chen Moran chose the jury system in the first place, and even did not hesitate to fix it with the situation of the Constitution, is precisely because the jury system has one of the greatest characteristics, that is, jurors are the least controlled by anyone.

This fundamentally avoids the phenomenon of "interfering in the judiciary and swaying justice" that was extremely common in later generations, and it is precisely because of this that Chen Moran has a soft spot for the jury system, but now, in this case, the disadvantages of the jury system are fully displayed -- the jurors themselves are extremely influenced by public opinion, and now, their hatred and anger make it difficult for them to distinguish between right and wrong.

As a supporter and defender of the jury system, Chen Moran would rather choose to remain silent - for the sake of universal justice!

"To avoid acquiescence to mistakes, I will not pardon anyone!"

"And what if someone is sentenced to death?"

……

Silent!

Ji Li's answer made Chen Moran fall into silence, what if someone died because of this?

"I think one day, they will realize the mistakes they have made, Ji Li, you still don't know the people here......"

Pointing to the floor under his feet, Chen Moran looked a little dignified.

"People here will always find excuses for their mistakes, or rather, blame them on a few people, and they seldom reflect on them, just like now, until now, how many people have really reflected on the reasons why China has lagged behind the world since the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It may be a mistake that a nation that does not reflect has no future, but I hope that this mistake will become the cornerstone of the country's progress......"

Although what he said from his heart and what he said was also true, on the other hand, deep down in Chen Moran's heart, he had a tacit attitude towards everything now, because in this process, not only the Republicans were hit hard, but the Cadets were also traumatized, and this change was extremely beneficial to him and the country.

What's more, in Chen Moran's view, it is far better to purge the republicans with the help of "public opinion" now and sweep the republicans out of China's political arena, and in the future he will be forced to purge them with the army and bayonets. Some things will always move in the direction that history needs, and this is just the wheel of history. This wheel itself will not block. Unstoppable.

"Yes...... There is life underneath this cornerstone! ”

Ji Li was taken aback by her husband's decision, and she looked at her husband in surprise, as if he felt so strange from now to the future.

"Progress...... There is always a price to pay! ”

Whispered these words. Chen Moran stopped talking, his eyes half-closed. I don't want to think about those things anymore, and now, at least, it is the decision of the people, the will of the people, the will of the law. It's better than a bayonet!

"The price!"

Okaichi Tanaka, who was a little confused, repeatedly came up with these two words in his mind. In the past three days, those Chinese have used all kinds of means on him, waterboarding, soldering iron, all kinds of torture on him, and the endless pain is enough to make anyone who professes to be a man cry loudly, crying for his mother. …,

The same is true of Okaichi Tanaka. When the pain is extreme, he will also cry loudly. Crying and screaming for his mother, crying and moaning, but the only exception was that he did not beg for mercy.

"From the moment I chose this path, I knew what you were going to do with me!"

Every time, when a round of punishment was over, Tanaka Okaichi always replied in the face of those interrogators, and the frustration on the other party's face and the subsequent anger were a small victory for Tanaka Okanichi, and the opponent's frustrated expression and the whip on his body when he was annoyed were like the greatest reward for him, supporting him and supporting him to continue.

And between each trial, he would always stab those who were interrogating him, trying to make them angry, but this was not to see their angry expressions, but to let them decisively beat him to death when they were angry, at this time, death is the real relief, but death is a luxury for him.

Disappointment, another disappointment was born in his mind, although the interrogators almost wanted to jump in annoyance, but he managed to control his emotions, in fact, as the interrogator Tanaka Okaichi clearly knew that these interrogators were all highly trained, and their execution skills were very skilled, and they would never harm his life, but they could make him suffer human torture.

Like now......

"Hereby ......"

A puff of smoke rose from the wound, and the wound that had been cut by a knife and sprinkled with salt was once again scorched with a soldering iron, and the smell of rò incense reminded Tanaka's mind of what the inquisitor had said to him when he was subjected to such a trial for the first time.

"It's a sanitizing ......"

As soon as it was dark, Tanaka lost consciousness again, how many times did this happen?

At this time, another bucket of cold water was poured on him, and Tanaka woke up again, and he looked at the angry judge in front of him, and smiled contemptuously.

"Yours, like a......"

As soon as his words fell, the man used a hook knife to draw a few muscles between his large tǐ medial muscles, and the miserable howl roared out again from Tanaka's throat, and he fainted again, while there was already a bucket of water prepared, and when Tanaka opened his eyes, he only heard one voice.

"Tell me, who else!"

The howl came again, but an officer in the dark room next door sighed helplessly, he sighed as he took off the leather gloves in his hand, and then handed the military hat to the soldier behind him.

"Pain,"

Looking at the prisoner, who had barely seen much good in his body, and had already fainted again, the officer who was taking off his military coat in the dark room next door said.

"There is a limit to human suffering, in any trial, only within that limit is it possible to get an answer, this category accounts for about 85% of the trial, but when that limit is broken, that is the brain's numbness to pain, so, at this time, torture has no effect, but this process can only last an hour, after an hour, the pain nerves and the brain will return to normal, and in the continuous limit sprint, only 5% of people will give an answer, as for the other 10% They will face everything calmly, and they will prove to you with facts that external brute force cannot conquer the will, and he ......"

The officer, who had already taken off his uniform, glanced at the prisoners in the interrogation room who were being tortured, and said to the officer of the Investigation Bureau beside him.

"He's enjoying torture right now, do you think it's possible for him to compromise with ordinary torture in this case?"

When he spoke, the officer's face was mocking, maybe the investigation bureau has strict training for torture, but they are still a group of laymen, and it can be seen from the interrogation of this prisoner that in fact, they are not much more sophisticated.

Science, they ignore science!

"What? Don't you believe it? ”

The officer of the Investigation Bureau looked at the officer with an indifferent expression, listened to his question, and pointed to the prisoner who had been unconscious for a long time.

"If he continues like this, one day he will compromise and enjoy ......"

snorted coldly, but the official's face was full of sneers.

"I will let him enjoy all the punishments suffered by his ancestors for eighteen generations, and I still don't believe it......"

"Then I'll make you believe it!"

As he spoke, the officer had already put on a pair of white gloves.
