"Nickname Outside! Chief Chen announced his personal property, come and see, there are seven houses, three cars, one airplane, and ...... deposits" The newsboy was shouting big news on the street of the provincial capital, and an intellectual wearing a top hat and a long shirt took out a copper dollar to buy a newspaper, and stood on the side of the road to read it.

Today, the front page of Huaijiang Daily published a detailed list of the family assets of Chen Zikun, the military and political governor of Jiangdong Province, who had a total of seven properties under his name, including a courtyard house in Dongwenchang Hutong in Beijing, which was purchased in 1922; A Shikumen residence in Shanghai and a villa on Xiafei Road, both purchased in 1925; One official residence on Fenglin Road in the provincial capital, one other business; one Beitai Jiangwan villa; A small western-style building in Chongqing, which was donated by Yang Sen in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

These are real estate, as well as valuable and expensive means of transportation, three cars with private license plates of various models, a US-made Douglas passenger plane, not much deposit, and less than 100,000 legal dollars in Jiangdong Bank, which is not surprising, just after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chen family moved back from Sichuan, and it is normal to have no money in hand.

In addition, all the personal property in the hands of the ladies with a unit price of more than 100 fiat currency was also registered, and a few cheongsams, fur coats, a few pairs of French high heels, how much jewelry, when and how they were obtained, were all clearly recorded.

The Chen family has a total of four children, the eldest son Chen Bei serves in the Air Force, the eldest daughter Chen Yan is studying in the United States, the second son Chen Nan is studying in middle school, and the youngest daughter Chen Jiao is studying in primary school, and there is no private property in his name.

After reading the report, the intellectuals were about to roll up the newspaper and go to work, when he looked back, a group of people had gathered around him, all of them poked their heads to look, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone, if you want to read the newspaper, you should buy a copy of it yourself." ”

One person said: "Sir, it's not that we are reluctant to buy the newspaper this little change, today's newspaper is out of stock, and we can't buy it if we want to, so it's better to give me a dollar, and you transfer the newspaper to me." ”

The intellectual said: "I'm sorry, this newspaper, I still want to keep it as a family heirloom, I'm sorry everyone, go first." ”

……

One stone stirred up a thousand layers of Lang, Chen Zikun took the lead in announcing his personal property, and all the princes of Jiangdong followed suit, and after eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, they did not have much property under their hands, more than hundreds of hectares of fertile land, less than a house, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

The Central Hotel, the new governor of Jiangdong, Ou Guangyan, chartered three rooms here, and was the temporary office of the provincial government, but he was the governor of the province, Chen Zikun did not approve of it at all, and did not let him enter the provincial government building, so he could only deign to the hostel and be a "exiled" governor.

In the past two days, Jiangdong has been very lively, Chen Zikun released the military power with a glass of wine, and wantonly arrested people, Ou Guangyan learned the news, if he got the treasure, he planned to take the opportunity to act, and used the Jiangdong Times resources in his hands to pour dirty water on Chen Zikun.

"What should I do, or I'll announce it too?" Ou Guangyan asked his staff.

"It's not proper, everyone is the same, won't you be led away by others." There were a few people in the staff who understood and immediately opposed it.

"What then?"

"If you attack it, you will be saved, I heard that Chen Zikun's people raped the people's daughter, and the people are very angry, seize this point and make a fuss, and great things can be done."

Ou Guangyan stroked his palms and laughed: "Good plan!" ”

Three days later, in the provincial government building, Shuangxi was kneeling in front of Chen Zikun, shirtless in the winter, carrying a bush of thorns on his back.

"Hehe, who taught you to bear the guilt of Jing pleading?" Chen Zikun smiled gently, people who are familiar with him know that the more the handsome man smiles, the more angry he becomes, and he is about to kill.

Chen Zikun threw the charge over: "Is this all the truth? ”

Double Happiness bowed his head and was silent.

"You raped the people's girl and injured the investigators, Shuangxi, you are too bold, have you followed me for a long time, and you have no fear?"

Double Happiness remained silent.

"If you say something, what should I do, now the people are so angry that they have published it in the newspapers, saying that I connived at my subordinates to persecute the people and want to impeach me."

Shuangxi raised his head: "I confess my sins, but I ask for death." ”

Chen Zikun waved his hand: "Pull it out and shoot it on the spot!" ”

The two gendarmes rushed in and dragged Shuangxi away, and the generals who had already gathered in the corridor poured in, knelt on the ground, and begged Chen Zikun to keep people under the knife.

"Dashuai, for the sake of the love that has been by your side for more than 20 years, let's spare his life." Everyone begged bitterly, but Chen Zikun was unmoved and walked away.

In the square in front of the provincial capital, Shuangxi stood by the wall with his hands tied, and twenty meters away stood a column of soldiers, armed with rifles, ready to be executed.

The sky was gloomy, it seemed to be snowing, thousands of people were watching at the scene, and there was a faint look of surprise on their numb faces.

There was a commotion, and Chen Zikun appeared in front of the provincial capital wearing a black cloak.

He walked to Shuangxi, raised his hand, and the escort sent a bowl of wine, the cold wind was cold, the handsome face did not change, and the wine was brought to Shuangxi's lips, Shuangxi drank it all with the bowl in his mouth, shook his head, and smashed the sea bowl.

"Old and young masters, see you in eighteen years!" The sound of double happiness pierced the sky.

The common people talked a lot and praised him as a man.

Chan stepped aside, turned his back to the firing squad, and raised a hand from his cloak.

"Ready!" The officer shouted, and the firing squad raised their rifles, pulled the bolts, and aimed for double happiness.

The weather is very cold, the feet of the onlookers are frozen, the children's faces are red from the cold, and tens of thousands of eyes are staring at the execution ground, for fear of missing the good show.

Seeing that Chen Zikun's raised hand was about to fall, suddenly a shout came from the crowd: "Leave people under the gun!" ”

A car horn sounded, the crowd took the initiative to separate a road, the jeep drove to the front, Liu Xiaoyong, who was driving, and a middle-aged couple got out of the car, shouting: "Sir Chen, you can't kill, you can't kill." ”

The people suddenly became in a commotion, and the scene of saving people at the execution ground has always been the most exciting, but I didn't expect it to look real today, this trip was really not in vain.

Chen Zikun looked surprised: "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man was in a fat posture, wearing a leather shoulder, and said with a bitter face: "Sir, I am Shuangxi's father-in-law, misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding, this marriage is the order of the parents, the matchmaker's words, but the little girl does not agree, so ......"

Chen Zikun suddenly realized: "I see, it's an arranged marriage." ”

The middle-aged man nodded like pounding garlic: "It's the land, it's the land, the Ming media is marrying." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Now is a new era, pay attention to the freedom of marriage, how can parents arrange the marriage of their children, you say that Double Happiness is your son-in-law, do you have a certificate?" ”

The middle-aged man took out a bunch of things, a list of bride prices, birthdays, and even wedding cards.

Chen Zikun said: "In this case, the firing squad will be withdrawn first, and I will openly question the case and find out about this matter in front of my father and fellow villagers." ”

There was a shout below, the people were happy in their hearts, they wanted to see the shooting of people, how did they know that it would become a big show, not only there was an execution ground to save people, but also the eight prefectures patrolled the court to try the case, and the trial was still a marriage lawsuit, today is really not in vain, some are close to home, quickly go back and call relatives to enjoy the free drama together, and there are also the hawkers shuttling back and forth, selling cigarettes, melon seeds, rice and candy.

In front of the provincial capital, it became a big stage, and when Ou Guangyan heard the news, he couldn't help sneering: "Originally, he was able to sing three sessions for him, and Chen's ability to fool the people is really getting bigger and bigger." ”

Chen Zikun not only wanted to act, but also to act in a big play, and the engineer company urgently dispatched and spent half an hour setting up a temporary stage in the square in front of the provincial capital to facilitate the people to watch.

The judge of the military court came, and the civil prosecutor also came, and the presiding judge in the center was naturally Chen Zikun, although it was inconsistent with legal principles, but it couldn't stand the people's love to watch.

The stage was covered with tarpaulins on three sides, and three tables were set up, and the trial was being held in three halls, for fear that the people would not be able to hear the case clearly, and six loudspeakers were specially installed to ensure that the tens of thousands of people on the scene could hear clearly from any corner.

Reporters from major newspapers and radio stations in the provincial capital came, holding small notebooks and sitting in the front seats.

The facts of the case are actually very simple, some time ago, when Shuangxi was strolling on Beitai Street, he saw a female student who was like a flower, fell in love at first sight, asked someone to say kiss, the girl's parents saw that it was the brigade elder who asked for marriage, and naturally agreed, but the girl had a good boy in the school, and he had already made a private decision for life, Shuangxi learned of the situation, and in a fit of anger, the overlord made a bow and slept with the female student, and the boy sued the investigation team, Liu Xiaoyong went to investigate, and the two clashed, causing evil consequences.

The matter has been very clear, the bitter master was also brought, the female student wore a veil and just cried, unwilling to speak, Chen Zikun asked him the boy: "I respect the freedom of marriage, but the national tradition should also be respected, the words of the parents are matched, that is a legal marriage, but I am willing to give you a chance, as long as you agree, I will ask the court to dissolve their marriage at its discretion and return your lover to you." ”

The boy wore a student uniform, his body was thin, and he stood proudly in the wind, and said: "Broken flowers and willows, don't do it." ”

Hearing this, the girl cried even more fiercely.

Chen Zikun was furious: "It's a shame that you still have a modern education, and you actually said such a thing, since you don't agree, then this case is over, you go down." ”

If the boy wants to say anything more, he has already been put down by the guards.

Chen Zikun asked the girl: "I respect women's rights, although Shuangxi is my adjutant, I will never tolerate him, as long as you say a word, I will shoot him." ”

"I can't help it, I can't help it, I shot Shuangxi, won't my daughter become a widow, daughter, don't be confused." When the father and mother panicked, they rushed over to persuade their daughter.

The daughter still only cried and didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, so be it.

Chen Zikun said: "Double happiness, since it is marital rape, this case should not be handled by the military court, the women's organization interrogated, but you shot and injured the investigators and need to be dealt with in a separate case." ”

Shuangxi said: "Listen to the punishment of the marshal, I have nothing to say." ”

Chen Zikun said: "You will be sentenced to three months of confinement and retire from court." ”

A confused lawsuit was tried in such a mess, and the whole process did not solicit the opinions of judges and prosecutors, it was completely Chen Zikun singing a one-man show, but the trial process and results were very in line with the psychological expectations of the people.

When the court ended, and the people were still unsatisfied, Chen Zikun returned to the office and called Liu Xiaoyong and said: "You handled this crisis very well, I didn't expect you to not only fight bravely, but also be so resourceful." ”
