Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 274 Public Trial Conference
Wu Ming didn't care too much about Wu Ming's shouting and killing outside, except for handling the military affairs of the whole division at the Phoenix Mountain base on weekdays, he went home on time to accompany his wife and children.
In less than a week, the families of the arrested gentry used various channels to denounce Wu Ming's warlord acts to Zhejiang Province and the central government......
These people connected in series and gave the central government a book of ten thousand words, exposing Wu Ming's essence and portraying him as a vicious and lawless bandit.
For all this, Wu Ming let it go, he knew very well that as long as he had conclusive evidence in his hand, coupled with Jiang Jingguo, the crown prince, shouting in front, he would not be afraid of capsizing in the gutter.
July 18, the 11th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Sunday.
After breakfast, Wu Ming accompanied the two ladies to talk for a while, and then came to the room to play with the three children. Wu Ming's favorite thing is to hold his youngest son, and then lean on the head of the bed and tell stories to Wang Zemin and Fang Ruhua.
Wang Yuehan, who was pregnant, stayed in the room to read, while Fang Zhichun was doing housework in the living room on the first floor, when she suddenly saw her eldest brother Fang Youchun walk in the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Brother, you're back."
Fang Youchun looked around and asked, "What about Wu Ming?" ”
Fang Zhichun pointed upstairs: "What about accompanying the children in the room...... Previously, he didn't go home for ten days and half a month, but now he is rarely free, and he goes home on time after work every day. ”
Fang Youchun nodded: "I'll go ask him about something" After speaking, he went upstairs.
Coming to the room and looking at Wu Ming, who was telling a story to his son and daughter, Fang Youchun said sneeringly: "It's good that you kid, you arrested so many people, and now you are still in the mood to make your children happy at home."
"Uncle"
Fang Ruhua got up from the bed and opened her arms: "Uncle hug"
Fang Youchun picked up his niece, looked at Wu Ming, who put down his youngest son and got out of bed to tidy up his clothes, and continued: "What the hell is going on? Now that the entire Zhejiang officialdom is in chaos, all of them are condemning you, do you want to rebel? ”
"Brother, what is the matter sit down first and say" Seeing that something was wrong, Fang Zhichun, who followed Fang Youchun into the door, took his daughter from his brother.
"Rebellion?"
Wu Ming was also a little annoyed, and said with a cold face: "Commissioner Fang, you can eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense, rebel, whose rebellion is it...... I don't have the courage to ask Commissioner Fang not to button my hat indiscriminately. ”
"Aren't you rebelling? The administrative offices of the three prefectures of Jinhua, Lishui, and Longquan are almost filled with people who accuse you, and the provincial chairman Huang Shao calls three times a day in Lushan, and General Xuan Tiewu, the director of the Security Division, is overwhelmed, so he hides in Nanjing, and Minister Chen in Nanjing calls and asks who gave you the power to do this? ”
"What? Can't bear it? ”
Wu Ming sneered: "Didn't I tell you that these people colluded with Japanese devils, betrayed our country's intelligence, and caused a lot of bullshit?" If we don't arrest them, will we see them stabbing us in the rear? ”
Wu Ming was confident and looked calm. He asked Chiang Ching-kuo to participate in the whole process of handling this matter, which was to show Chiang Kai-shek that he had no intention of concealing it at all, and until now, Chiang Kai-shek has not ordered to stop it, which fully shows Chiang Kai-shek's position.
was robbed by Wu Ming, Fang Youchun suddenly fell silent, and only after a while did he ask, "Have the Japanese confessed?" ”
"Nonsense, didn't you see it with your own eyes when you came with the Japanese consul?" Wu Ming nodded, and said angrily: "Besides, if there is no conclusive evidence and no confession from the Japanese, do I dare to arrest people blatantly?" ”
Fang Youchun was sure in his heart, and sat down quietly.
Fang Zhichun brought tea, handed it to Fang Youchun, and then sat next to Wu Ming, supporting her husband: "Brother, this time I think Brother Ming is doing the right thing for those scum who grew up eating Chinese rice and drinking Qianjiang water, not treating themselves as Chinese, but going to be the lackeys of the Japanese, helping the Japanese to collect our intelligence, it is time to kill a batch, close a batch, and let everyone see what the end of being a traitor is"
Fang Youchun was slightly stunned, and looked at Fang Zhichun with some surprise. He knew that his sister had never cared much about Wu Ming's military affairs, why did he know it so clearly now?
Looking at Fang Youchun's surprised expression, Wu Ming smiled secretly in his heart, this is exactly the effect driven by Jiang Jingguo's vigorous publicity.
Don't look at the gentry whose interests have been violated now, but with the continuous broadcast of the news report of Phoenix Radio Station and digging deeper into the inside story of the case, listeners in the north and south of the country have already defined those shameless people who worked for the Japanese as traitors in their hearts, and in comparison with the increasingly grim situation in North China, ordinary people are eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
After the gentry of several major regions collectively filed a complaint, the media from all over the country gathered in Quzhou, but Chiang Ching-kuo refused to interview reporters on the grounds of secrecy, but continued to release news through the Phoenix radio station, and those reporters had no way to obtain first-hand information, so they had to write press releases based on radio news, and unconsciously expanded the influence of radio again.
With the support of public opinion, coupled with Chiang Ching-kuo's title as the crown prince, Wu Ming is fearless, and he is not worried about what problems he will have.
Fang Youchun was much more relaxed, took a sip of tea, and suggested: "Why don't you send the witnesses and evidence to our Quzhou Administration and hand them over to the judicial department for trial?" ”
Fang Youchun is purely well-intentioned, after all, it is easy to be criticized by the party-state members for intervening in the local area to arrest spies, on the other hand, Fang Youchun is also willing to bear part of the pressure for Wu Ming.
Wu Ming could not agree, the relationship between the government and the party affairs department was intertwined, and it was easy for those scum with deep backgrounds or strong capital to escape the punishment they deserved.
In addition, the vast majority of the large sums of money that Wu Ming received in Shanghai and the funds raised and mortgaged from the Kumaling fluorite mine have already been transferred to his private account, and there is not much liquid capital on the books.
Wu Ming got up, personally filled the eldest brother with tea, and said in a slow voice:
"Big brother, there are too many local constraints, if you hold it high and let it go lightly, it will not achieve the effect of curing the disease and saving people, on the contrary, if you offend people too much, it will be difficult to carry out future work...... Our army is different, as the saying goes, it is unreasonable to show a soldier when he encounters a soldier, and no one will seriously care about us. At the same time, I still have Jiang Dagongzi in front of him, and everyone has to give him three points of face, which no one can compare. ”
Hearing Wu Ming think about himself like this, Fang Youchun was a little moved, after all, it was a family, but Fang Youchun couldn't afford to apologize to Wu Ming, turned around at the moment, and the other party said childishly:
"Okay, let's make it clear, I'll come to see my nephews next time...... I couldn't stand the harassment of my superiors, my colleagues, and the families of criminals in Quzhou, so I rushed back overnight last night, and now I think that I don't have to do this, I will rush back to Quzhou later, and there are still a bunch of things waiting for me to deal with at the administrative office."
Wu Ming couldn't help but stop Fang Youchun's way, and said with a smile: "Big brother, since you're here, let's have lunch together."
Fang Youchun shook his head: "You made a mess, the administrative department is very busy, if it weren't for me holding my stomach, I wouldn't have gone home last night." ”
Fang Youchun is the commissioner of the Quzhou Administrative Office, and the six counties of Quzhou are in charge of every detail, and now with the anti-traitor action of Wu Mingxin's second division, he can't wait to divide one person into two halves.
Wu Ming motioned to Fang Zhichun to turn on the switch on the radio, and the other party Youchun said, "Big brother, don't you want to listen to our public trial conference?" ”
"Public trial?" Fang Youchun frowned slightly.
Wu Ming smiled brightly, and was about to speak, Fang Zhichun had already ostentatiously explained to Fang Youchun: "Brother, you don't know what to do, today at noon, Phoenix Radio's Chinese Channel will broadcast live the case of Chen Keqing, president of the Lishui Chamber of Commerce, colluding with the Japanese, and yesterday at 10 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and 6 o'clock in the evening, the radio drama was advertised, and later the news at 7 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the evening was also announced, I believe that at this time, many people in China are waiting for the live broadcast." ”
Fang Youchun was very surprised, and when he saw Wu Ming nodding heavily, he couldn't help but secretly admire Jiang Jingguo, who was in charge of the propaganda work of the new Second Division.
Phoenix Radio Fang Youchun also likes to listen to it when he has nothing to do, housewives like his sister Fang Zhichun like to listen to the radio dramas produced by Phoenix Radio Station the most, some dramas that promote patriotic feelings make people's noses sour, like "Huo Yuanjia" that is now being broadcast, it has attracted the pursuit of the whole country, and a theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" is sung all over the country.
Chiang Ching-kuo was able to grasp the needs of the audience, and put important news into radio dramas and current affairs news with a large audience, even if others did not pay attention to it.
Wu Ming was also very satisfied with Chiang Ching-kuo's work, and this live public trial meeting was written by Chiang Ching-kuo, and it was announced in the broadcast of the radio drama as soon as possible, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole country.
Fang Zhichun turned on the radio, and there was a noisy electric sound in the room, and then it suddenly quieted down, and the announcer's voice sounded from the loudspeaker:
"Listeners and friends in front of the radio, this time we at Phoenix Radio Station have obtained the consent of General Wu Ming, commander of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army, to broadcast the whole public trial meeting, which is the first time that our radio station has been broadcast live since its establishment, and I hope you can like our program."
"Now let me introduce that the chief judge of the court is Mr. Jiang Ching-kuo, colonel of the General Staff Office of the new Second Division and director of the Military Judge Advocate General's Division, who told our radio reporters in advance that this public trial will be open and transparent throughout the whole process, with the law as the criterion and the facts as the basis, and will definitely not wronged Mr. Chen Keqing, president of the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce, and Director Jiang asked us to ask our reporters and spectators to supervise the trial on behalf of the audience and friends across the country......
Just when Wu Ming was holding his son and daughter and listening to the live broadcast of Phoenix Radio with Fang Youchun, in the Maoliangwu Town auditorium, about a platoon of officers and soldiers maintained order on the scene, and the audience was full of 100 representatives of the people carefully selected by the political and propaganda departments.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Chiang Ching-kuo stood up, stretched his hands forward and pressed weakly, and the venue suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Jingguo nodded, and said into the microphone: "The case of Chen Keqing, president of the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce, colluding with the Japanese to betray our military intelligence, is now officially started, and Chen Keqing will be brought to the defendant."
Soon, two officers and soldiers of the New Second Division escorted Chen Keqing to the trial seat. Chen Keqing's face was a little gray, and the quiet smile on his usual face was long gone.
There was a buzz of discussion in the courtroom.
