Monday, May 13, Peiping. Today's weather is good, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and many people are in a better mood.

At noon, the students of Tsinghua University walked out of the classroom with books in their hands, and many of them unconsciously looked around, and were about to shout to their friends and roommates to have dinner together, when they saw a few heavily armed soldiers, and suddenly felt a strange atmosphere.

The soldiers were young, dressed in crisp new uniforms, rifles with bayonets shining coldly, and their eyes were wise and resolute, all of which showed that they came from a well-trained army.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't the national army withdraw from Beiping?"

"Hey, isn't that Chu Tiange from class so-and-so?"

"Isn't it Chu Tiange?" Someone who knew him immediately shouted, and then looked carefully at the alumnus who had been missing for more than two weeks, and saw that he was wearing a neat lieutenant uniform, armed belt and a brand new holster, and was explaining something to the classmates around him. The students gathered around with doubts and gradually understood what had happened.

It turned out that Chu Tiange's flickering was not due to an urgent matter at home, nor was he ill, but because he participated in the 29th Army's cadet corps.

Some students who have studied the 29th Army, the "anti-Japanese vanguard" unit, couldn't help but ask: "Cadet Corps?" Is there such a formation in the 29th Army? ”

The classmate who had just learned a little bit of fur from Chu Tiange's mouth shrugged his eyebrows, glanced at the other party, and proudly flaunted: "I don't know what to do, the newly established, the 'North China Autonomy' that made a lot of noise a few days ago has you heard?" It was they who were defeated, and even Shi Yousan was caught by them, no, there will be a public trial on the playground of our school. ”

"Oh?!" The enthusiasm of the students was aroused, and some of them suddenly realized: "It turns out that the 'North China Autonomy' was carried out by Shi Yousan and others!" These traitors really deserve to be killed! Let's go, let's go! ”

"Look at it!"

The students gathered in twos and threes, and the crowd poured into the playground.

On the playground, a banner of no size was hung on the rostrum made of cement, which read: The traitor "Shi Yousan" and others were in the public trial meeting, and there were several tables and chairs under the banner, and Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang and a white-bearded old man sat on the chairs. There was a microphone on the table, and a loudspeaker was set up on each bamboo pole on either side of the banner. Twelve cadets in brand-new uniforms lined up behind them, and between each of them, stood a prisoner with his hands tied.

Under the rostrum, there was a row of old men in long robes or mid-shirt jackets, most of whom had white hair, and looked like they were either celebrities or gentlemen. Behind the sitters, the black press was full of people, most of them were students, but there was no shortage of people who were smugglers.

On the edge of the playground, there was a circle of cadets, with a total of about 50 people, all of them loaded with guns and ammunition, and their eyes did not squint, obviously maintaining the order of the venue.

Chen Shichang saw that the speed at which the students entered the playground was a little slow, and remembered Ouyang Yun's emphasis on quick victory, so he stood up and grabbed the microphone and said, "Hurry up, students, the meeting for the public trial of Shi You's third and other traitors will start in three minutes!" ”

Li Tieshu looked back at Shi Yousan behind him, and then looked at the group of gentlemen and celebrities sitting next to him and below, and saw that most of them were serious, and suddenly wanted to laugh - he felt that Ouyang Yun was a little nonsense - Tsinghua University was not willing to lend this venue at all, and none of these gentlemen and celebrities came willingly, but in the face of the black muzzles and naked threats of the students: whoever does not cooperate is sympathetic to the stone thief, is sympathetic to the traitor, and is suspected of betraying the country! None of these celebrities can stand up.

Li Tieshu began to think that it was too much, and was worried that the student corps would have a reputation for abusing power from now on, so he told Ouyang Yun about this worry, and the latter smiled and said disapprerovingly: "What's wrong with power?" I just want to tell those wall-to-wall grasses through power that the student corps will never be merciful to traitors, and they will always be greeted with an iron fist! ”

Li Tieshu said that he couldn't do it, so he had to obey the order and come to the town as the "second-in-command" of the student corps.

The term "second-in-command" naturally came out of Ouyang Yun's mouth, Li Tieshu didn't want to come, he reserved that his age was not suitable for accompanying the students to mess around, and as a result, he was suppressed by Ouyang Yun's "second-in-command": "No, you have to go, Shi Yousan is an old man of the Northwest Army, if we don't correct him as soon as possible, and wait for Commander Song and a group of old men from the Northwest Army to come over, then there will be no chance." Shi Chang and Tiange are too young, I don't feel at ease without you on such a big occasion, this is the unified action of the student corps, how can you, as the second-in-command of the student corps, get out of the matter? I'll deal with it from Commander Song, well, when you start at noon, I'll call him and say that Shi Yousan has been disposed of, this is called cutting first and then playing, haluha! ”

The public trial meeting was held as scheduled, and Ouyang Yun and the six traitors and hooligans who were carefully selected as typical were all famous, and as Chu Tiange became famous one by one, the people on the playground began to exclaim: It turned out to be so-and-so, he also has today? ……

Shi Yousan, as the convener of the "Beiping Autonomy", was naturally the first to be named. Don't look at Chen Shichang's young age, and he is engaged in the work of a judge for the first time, he is full of authority, he first asked the old man around him to announce the start of the public trial, and then briefly described the sequence of the capture of Shi Yousan and others, and then shouted: "Take Shi Yousan!" ”

The two students who escorted Shi Yousan took Shi Yousan to the rostrum and took the walnuts that were stuffed in his mouth. Shi Yousan gained the freedom to speak, and immediately changed his depressed appearance just now, and shouted: "Why are you arresting me? I am the commander of the Wing East Security Command, and I am officially appointed by the Nationalist Government ......"

Chen Shichang had already guarded against his hand, and interrupted him contemptuously: "Just because you colluded with the Japanese to divide the ancient city of Beiping from the land of China, isn't this reason enough?" ”

"Who said I colluded with the Japanese? Ladies and gentlemen," Shi Yousan's gaze walked over the faces of the celebrities and gentlemen one by one, and roared: "Who doesn't know that in this troubled world, whoever has a gun in his hand can speak loudly?" Now that I've been arrested by you, don't you just say what you want? If you want to add sin, why is there no excuse? I marched into Beiping, but I was afraid that the national army had just withdrawn, and I was worried that I would want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”

What he said was still very pertinent, during the warlord war in China, Beiping has been fighting one after another, and it is true that whoever has a gun in his hand can speak loudly. The celebrities and gentlemen secretly exchanged glances, and their hearts were very apprehensive.

Li Tieshu had been silently watching the reaction from the audience, and when he saw this scene, he glanced at Chen Shichang. Chen Shichang nodded and shouted in a deep voice: "Submit it!" ”

Soon, the two cadets put a piece of letterhead and a large pile of tattered clothes on the table. The letterheads and clothes were stained with blood and smelled unpleasant, and many gentlemen were puzzled and frowned.

Chen Shichang handed the letter to the white-bearded old man beside him, and said, "Liu Gong, this is an order issued by Takashi Sakai, chief of staff of the Japanese garrison in North China, to his subordinate Akita," and pointed to the pile of clothes, "These clothes are all from the dead Japanese soldiers, although they are wearing civilian clothes, but their shirts are unique to the Japanese army, and the fabric," and then he said to the audience: "Which one who understands Japanese can come to the stage to confirm and see what this order is." ”

Shi Yousan's face changed, and the pile of bloody clothes was forgotten, and the note ordered him to know the truth, he didn't expect Akita to keep him on his body all the time, and it happened to be searched by the school corps. At this time, he had already learned of the subordination of the student corps, and he was unwilling to be destroyed, so he immediately howled: "I want to see Song Zheyuan, you little soldiers have no right to judge me!" ”

As soon as he behaved like this, the blind man also knew that what Chen Shichang said was true, and many people's thoughts immediately changed - it is nothing for you Shi Yousan to want to be a warlord in Beiping, after all, you are also Chinese, but if you collude with the Japanese to control Beiping, that is a traitor, and it is absolutely not allowed!

There was no need for Chen Shichang to say anything, the students in the audience first roared angrily: "Execute the traitor!" Then, some shoes, textbooks, and so on were thrown on the stage.

Shi Yousan immediately turned into a street rat that everyone shouted and beats.

The next thing is much simpler, after Chen Shichang read out Shi Yousan's crime, he sentenced him to death on behalf of all the citizens of Beiping, and then directly let people drag him onto the truck.

At this moment, the remaining five traitors and hooligan leaders were frightened, and many people knelt on the ground without waiting for Chen Shichang's roll call, shouting injustice, and some said that they were deceived by Shi Yousan, and they didn't know what was going on with Lu Dao; Some people said they didn't know that there were Japanese people in the team......

Regarding the treatment of these five people, Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang and Ouyang Yun did not agree on it, they thought that as long as they killed Shi Yousan, they could play a role in killing one hundred people, and the rest of the people would be released. Ouyang Yun insisted that they must all be killed, so that they can really play a deterrent role, because after that, the 29th Army will set up a border with Little Japan.

They failed to convince Ouyang Yun, but they were persuaded by him, so none of these five people escaped the fate of being shot.

With the shooting of Shi Yousan and others at the entrance of the vegetable market, the public trial conference ended successfully, and the student corps used the guns in their hands and the evidence in their hands to show the limelight, and under Ouyang Yun's deliberate request, the glorious deeds of the student corps in the Tianjin garrison to annihilate more than 200 Japanese soldiers were also spread among the teachers and students of major schools in Beiping, making the army the first ideal place for students to go after graduation.

Almost at the same time that Shi Yousan and the others were shot, Ouyang Yun called Song Zheyuan, reported the actions of the student corps in Wancun, and reported the public trial of Shi Yousan and others.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as Song Zheyuan heard that he was going to try Shi Yousan publicly, he immediately spoke out to stop him, and repeatedly emphasized: Shi Yousan can't be killed!

"Throne!" Ouyang Yun on the other end of the phone was smiling secretly, but his tone was a little worried, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid Shi Yousan is dead." ”

"What?!" Song Zheyuan's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose up, and Ouyang Yun almost saw him jumping three feet high, "Nonsense!" Why didn't you inform me beforehand? Do you still have me as a military commander in your eyes? ”

Ouyang Yun was silent, but the corners of his mouth were completely open, the more Song Zheyuan did this, the more it showed that he had indeed taken the right step, pretending to be very aggrieved, he said: "Junza, I can't help it, they colluded with the Japanese and killed our seven brothers, the students are excited, I can't stop it, hey!" ”

"Bang!" The phone hung up.
