All the people who saw Zhou Ziqing's movements couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats, and looked up at Yang Hao, but saw him standing tall as a pine, standing proudly behind Huo Yuanjia.

Turning his head to look at Zhou Ziqing again, the revolver in his hand actually exploded! Not to mention the shattered parts, his right hand was blown apart, and a piece of splinter cut through his scalp, pulling out a deep groove! Blood shot out, staining his pale face as bleak as a ghost!

"This ...... What's going on?! ”

Zhou Ziqing stared at his bloody hands in disbelief and let out a wolf-like howl.

He has tested that gun repeatedly, and there is no problem with it, and his marksmanship is also very accurate, how can it explode?! It's so close, you can take revenge right away, how can you fail?!

The guard closest to him was stunned, and he rushed over in anger to press him.

Suddenly, a tall young man behind Zhou Ziqing suddenly stretched out his arms and pounced forward, pushing the two people on the side fiercely and throwing them at the two guards respectively. Then, he grabbed Zhou Ziqing's neck, twisted his left arm with the other hand, lifted the whole person to the ground fiercely, and shouted in a strange tone: "Give Lao Tzu a lie down!" ”

The two guards were stunned, the person who shot was clearly a foreign devil, and they didn't know each other. But at this time, there was no room for hesitation, and the two people who flew over involuntarily were clearly with Zhou Ziqing, and they took the opportunity to twist and turn to the ground, and cuffed them neatly.

More guards rushed up and surrounded Yang Hao, not allowing a trace of gaps. At the same time, all the entrances to the venue are guarded. Don't let anyone go out at will.

Zhou Jianhao shouted loudly through the microphone: "Please stay where you are and don't move." The Assassins have taken it. The order of the venue has been controlled! Please stay calm, your lives will not be in danger! ”

Heavily armed guards watched from all heights, and the guests who had just recovered were in an uproar, but most of them remained decently in place. A few people who panicked and tried to run out, or who were about to take advantage of the chaos, were unceremoniously stopped by plainclothes hiding in the crowd.

At this time, no matter what nationality you are, maintaining order in the venue is the first priority. Who dares to mess around. There's no place to reason if you're killed.

The short-lived commotion did not spread further, and it was quickly suppressed, and the foreigners, who could not make a fuss, had no choice but to follow the order. Those big people who don't think they will be threatened are even more interested in watching the play, today is really unexpected, so interesting.

A few minutes later, the venue was calm again, but the guards were glaring.

Yang Haotong said with a smile: "I'm sorry, due to the negligence of our organizer's work, you have been frightened. On their behalf, I would like to express my sincere apologies. Rest assured, we can guarantee that none of our guests will be harmed. ”

Push through the crowd. He looked at Zhou Ziqing, but saw that this young man who claimed to be a reporter of "Daqing Political Daily" was pressed to the ground by two guards, but he still stubbornly raised his head and stared at him and shouted: "Yang Hao! You don't have to die well! God doesn't have long eyes, so I can't get revenge! ”

Yang Hao came to him, looked down, and found that this guy's appearance was a little familiar, so he asked: "I, Yang Hao, sit upright, and I have never done anything to bully people." When did I have a personal enmity with you? ”

The corners of Zhou Ziqing's mouth were bloody, and he laughed miserably: "Hehe, what a high-sounding villain, do you remember the history of Rizhao County?" ”

Yang Hao suddenly realized: "Oh, remember, you are the eldest son of the Zhou family who went to Japan, right?" Are you planning to avenge your father? ”

Zhou Ziqing said hatefully: "Not bad! Your Yang family has ruined my family, and this hatred is not shared! I only hate God for not bless me, so that I will fail! ”

Yang Hao nodded, but stopped talking nonsense with him, and waved his hand to let people block his mouth and drag him aside.

So many reporters from all over the world were waiting to see the excitement, and when they saw that Yang Hao was going to get people away, they suddenly stopped. The British journalist Mitz immediately shouted: "Mr. Yang! Why don't you keep letting the assassin speak? Is it because you are worried that he will say something bad for your reputation? ”

The American journalist Madison exclaimed, "Mr. Yang, what are you going to do with this assassin?" Do you want to be like the Chinese warlords and officials, first torture him, and then pull him out, cut off his head, and hang it on the flagpole to show the public? ”

"Tell me how you plan to deal with these Assassins, and what laws do you intend to follow? Or is it a random mess? ”

"Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang......! ”

The chaotic shouts and disturbed the venue were boiling.

Ogner laughed with interest: "It's so interesting. I also wonder if this tough Mr. Yang is trying to expose his brutal nature? ”

The consul in Tianjin, Bao Shide, said: "That is the best way to say, a guy who keeps saying that he wants to bring civilization to a country becomes a barbarian when he is threatened." This kind of drama can be written into a repertoire and performed. ”

Many Chinese guests were worried, especially Song Yunsheng, who was clear about Yang Hao and Zhou Quan's family. This matter is going to make a fuss, and I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause. If Yang Hao's glorious image will be smeared, it will be terrible!

Everyone was watching Yang Hao to see how he reacted. But it is disappointing that they do not see even the slightest hint of panic, anger, apprehension and overwhelm.

Yang Hao maintained a relaxed and natural demeanor from beginning to end, returned to the rostrum, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet for a while." ”

The reporters who made the most noise were taken by his composure and bearing, and some of the smugness that had just risen in their hearts was suddenly dispelled. They all suddenly remembered that Yang Haoke was a general who led thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield, not the kind of official who could just talk about it. How can such a strongman who grew up in a bloody battle admit defeat lightly?

Or will he say something even more vigorous? That's really exciting!

The venue was silent, and Yang Hao calmly glanced at the faces waiting to see a good show, and said loudly: "You must be very concerned about what I will do with this assassin." The reason why I had his mouth gagged was stopped. It is to ensure that you will not be misled by what he says when his feelings are out of control. Secondly, I would like to sue you. The U.S. Concession has complete laws and regulations. We will follow strict legal procedures to file charges against criminal suspects, and in the presence of lawyers and juries, criminal offenders will be tried in public! Here, I sincerely welcome all guests to personally supervise and actively participate. After all, you are also victims and witnesses on the spot. ”

"Wow, how dare he think about it!"

This unexpectedly generous and open answer made everyone cry out in surprise.

Regardless of Chinese foreigners. Thinking about it, I think that Yang Hao will try to block the news and control it, and try not to spread rumors that are unfavorable to him as much as possible. Almost no one would have imagined that he would talk about legal procedures in such a situation!

Madison, an American, exclaimed unwillingly: "We can understand it as witnesses, but what do we mean by the victim? That assassin is targeting you personally, not us! ”

Yang Hao replied: "The suspect and his accomplices have guns in their hands, who can guarantee that their bullets will only hit me?" Don't forget that the guards here also have guns, and in the event of a fight, innocent people will inevitably be injured. So. I believe that their actions are a violation of public safety. It also endangers your personal safety. ”

"Crime of endangering public safety. Such a term coming out of a Chinese's mouth is really evocative! ”

Ogne pondered for a long time, raised his hand and signaled, and immediately a counselor stood up and said loudly: "The British Empire ministers express their appreciation for Mr. Yang's wise decision, and we will send someone to follow up on this matter." ”

U.S. Minister Tian Bei frowned, and someone immediately got up to follow: "This incident happened in the U.S. Concession, and the United States should supervise the whole process, and be happy to see the concession management department follow the legal procedures and hear the case fairly, justly and openly!" ”

"The German Legation is happy to accept this decision and is willing to provide legal assistance."

"Russia would like to see strong means to guarantee fair sentences for criminals, and we are cautiously concerned."

"France appreciates ...... this."

A large number of foreign devils are scrambling, and no one will let go of showing their faces in this kind of event that is bound to become world-class news, as long as Yang Hao does not hide it, no matter what the final result of the trial is, they will only get benefits.

The Chinese are silent and most are at a loss. Legal proceedings? Public hearing? Also a jury? Prosecutor? Lawyer? What a new term! It seems that except for the popular articles of the "National News", I have never seen anything else.

When the noise gradually stopped, Li Jingshu, who was sitting upright like an ornament, stood up and said calmly: "The criminal suspect Zhou Ziqing is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, and he is also a reporter for the official newspaper of the imperial court. Although this is the U.S. Concession, according to the treaty between the two countries, we must also ask the imperial court to participate in and supervise the trial of this case throughout the process. ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a brief silence. The main thing is that it's incredible, shouldn't this kind of thing follow the rule of "family ugliness should not be publicized" and try to suppress it by all means?

Li Jingshu came on behalf of Li Hongzhang, who was also the chief and auxiliary minister of the Qing government, and his speech was almost equivalent to expressing his position on behalf of the imperial court. Is it really appropriate to do that?

Most people are unfamiliar with Li Jingshu, and they can't guess what thoughts this son has. For a while, I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to him stood up and said loudly: "I, Wu Tingfang, have a doctorate degree in law from London, the British Empire, and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council. I am willing to work as a freelance lawyer to defend criminal suspects. ”

Juris Doctor, Barrister!

The foreigners at the scene were all amazed. Even if he is a Chinese, he has a doctorate from the London College and a member of the Legislative Council. This kind of identity can be respected enough to travel all over the world, and his words are enough to serve as valid evidence for recognition.

Ogne and the other Britons nodded their heads in satisfaction, and first expressed their support. These are talents from the British Empire, and they are high-ranking officials in the colonies, so they all have to help. It's much better than sending a foreign lawyer.

The foreign devils all feel that this thing is changing in a more and more interesting direction, and they are happy to watch the excitement.

Most Chinese people have different expressions and are unimpressed. Even if you Wu Tingfang become an important member of Li Zhongtang's shogunate, you don't have to do this, right? Especially if you help an assassin, what's going on?

Everyone looked at Yang Hao again to see how he reacted.

Yang Hao applauded and nodded at Wu Tingfang and Li Jingshu: "I am very happy to see that Chinese with modern legal awareness are actively participating in this case." China needs to build legal awareness, and the public needs to understand what a country is governed by the rule of law. ”

"Oh? He actually agreed?! ”

Many people were shocked and stunned. Everyone is not afraid of big things when they watch the excitement, but this Mr. Yang is not afraid of making trouble! He is not afraid that if he gets into trouble and the lawsuit gets into a mess, he will be exposed to some of the shady things he has done in the past, and his good reputation will be ruined?

Zhou Jianhao and a group of staunch supporters sincerely admired Yang Hao's openness. Only such a bright and selfless leader is qualified to be their teacher and lead them step by step to a great future! (To be continued......)
