It's still early to enter the barracks

The two officers led their horses all the way, chatting through the streets in front of them, and came to a small square, when they suddenly heard a gong sound, and the front hooves of the startled horses were raised and neighed.

Li Siyuan hurriedly grabbed the reins to appease the war horse, and then turned his head to look over with an angry face, it turned out that several RCMP led the Xinghuahui militia to escort a group of people over, a guy in front of him sounded a gong to open the way, and another guy held high the banner of "law enforcement".

The two understood at a glance that this was the usual public law enforcement in the city, and generally punished petty theft, bar fights, molesting women, and minor offenses of non-observance, punishable by one to ten lashes, depending on the offense.

Generally speaking, you can take it home with you after playing.

There are no prisons in the Red River Valley, and those who commit minor offenses are punished with caution or caning, and those who commit serious crimes are thrown into forced labor camps, and those who commit more serious crimes are put on the gallows, waiting for the corpses to be collected.

Around the small square, there were some relatives and friends of the prisoners, pushing flatbed trucks and waiting nearby, accompanied by the sound of gongs, Chinese who have always loved to watch the excitement flocked to the scene, and soon the small square was crowded.

Li Siyuan raised his hand to look at his watch and said with a smile; "There are still more than 40 minutes before the morning assembly lecture, and there is still time, let's watch for a while before leaving."

"Hey...... Don't hide it from the instructor, I love to watch the excitement since I was a child, if I can't see the itch in my heart like a cat scratch. Li Xuanzhu grinned, and finally revealed his true colors.

"That's okay, in fact, I also like to watch the fun."

Instructor Li Siyuan is in his early 20s, not much older than Li Lian, and he is also a young man's temperament, and after finishing speaking, he stretched his neck to look at the Western scenery.

There is a wooden shelf in the small square, and next to it is a table behind which sits an assistant city prosecutor and a junior judge of the city court, both of whom are middle-aged Chinese immigrants.

The assistant prosecutor was a fat white man in his 30s, with a round face and round gold-rimmed glasses, and when he saw the prisoner brought it, he stood up, picked up the indictment on the table, and said;

"Bring Prisoner No. 1 Owen Skechers and Prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao forward, you two are accused of fighting in a bar, damaging a number of property, causing the barmaid Miss Miko Maeda to break her arm with multiple bruises, the facts of the case are clear, the two criminals confessed after arriving at the case, and asked the provisional civil court to adjudicate."

Prisoner No. 1 Owen Skechers and Prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao were escorted to the front, listening to the prosecutor's accusation, and were speechless with their heads down.

It's all drunk, and when I drink too much, I feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, so there is nothing stupid I dare not do.

The Assistant Prosecutor gave a brief statement and sat down.

The grim-faced judge asked; "Do you two have any objections to the facts of the crime?"

"Nope." Prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao replied.

"Can I say that opposition can be useful?" Prisoner No. 1, Owen Skechers, stalked his neck and had an unconvinced look on his face.

The cold-faced judge ignored him, stood up and said; "With the powers conferred on me by His Excellency Lord Earl of Queensland, I convict Prisoner No. 1 Owen Skechers and Prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao for disturbing the peace, and the verdict is as follows;

In view of the fact that Prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao pleaded guilty and had a good attitude, he was fined 20 pounds and sentenced to five lashes, which was immediately executed.

In view of the provocation and poor attitude of guilty plead in the first inmate of offender No. 1, he was suspected of contempt of court, and was fined £50 and sentenced to eight lashes, which was to be executed immediately. ”

After the verdict is over

The cold-faced judge sat down, turned his head and whispered to the assistant prosecutor, and let out a chuckle from time to time when he might say something interesting, and it took no more than three minutes to finish a case.

Offender No. 1, Owen Skechers, was not only fined an additional £30 but also had to be whipped three more times because of his poor confession, and he opened his mouth and did not dare to say anything hard, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Immediately, Owen Skechers was dragged to the wooden shelf by two strong men with big shoulders and round waists, the clothes on his upper body were taken off, and the shackles on his hands were stretched out and tied to the wooden shelf, in the shape of a "big" figure.

Behind him, a burly and strong man, walked up with a heavy leather whip in his hand, unfolded it and threw it into a basin of cold water, splashing in all directions, making the prisoner's heart tremble.

Immediately, the executioner unfolded the long leather whip behind him, and the sharp barbs on the leather whip could be seen, glittering with a cold sheen in the morning light.

"Hi ......" with a muffled shout

The executioner threw up the long whip and slashed through the air, slamming it on the prisoner's smooth back, accompanied by a crisp and loud sound that made the scalp tingle, and a long centipede-like bloody streak appeared on the prisoner's back, from the shoulder to the waist.

"Ah......h

Before he could recover from the excruciating pain, the second whip came up again, directly muffled his screams in his throat and turned into moans of pain.

Whip after whip, at first the prisoner Owens Sage could still scream, and by the time he reached the eighth whip, the blood stains crisscrossing his back were already bright red.

Each one was whipped deep into the flesh, and the body could no longer scream in the feeble convulsions, as if it were whipped on rotten meat.

"Next."

The RCMP who maintained order on the side was not surprised, and the prisoner after the execution was directly removed and thrown on the ground next to him.

If someone comes to pay the fine, they can take it home to recuperate, and if no one asks, they will be thrown into the carriage and dragged back to the police station.

In any case, the fine imposed by the judge must be paid.

Prisoner No. 2 Guo Haitao was so frightened that his legs trembled at the moment, and his heroic spirit of killing all sides in the bar had long since disappeared, and he was dragged all the way by two big men and tied to a wooden frame.

5After the whip was drawn, he could only lie on the ground and hum.

Friends and relatives hurriedly paid a fine of £20, lifted him to the flatbed truck and settled him down, and dragged him all the way to the Chinese medicine clinic to apply medicine and wrap his wounds.

The whole trial, including the execution, lasted no more than 10 minutes, and by this time prisoner No. 3 was already waiting below, trembling and stripped off his clothes and tied to a wooden frame.

This guy was a delivery coachman, who was caught red-handed for his loose defecation of his horses, and he was also a tender and young man, unwilling to pay the fine and spitting fragrant in his mouth, and even waved his whip and worked hard with the law enforcement militia, breaking the heads of both militiamen.

At this time, he was sentenced to 6 lashes, and the coachman was frightened and weak on the spot.

"Don't, Lord Judge, the villain knows that he is wrong, and he will be a cow and a horse for you in this life......"

The cry for mercy was not heard twice, accompanied by a muffled shout of "hey", and the leather whip with sharp barbs slammed the coachman's back, making a crisp sound that made the scalp tingle, strangling the coachman's cry for mercy in his throat and turning into an earth-shattering scream......

Every time the whip goes down, the onlookers will let out a startled "......", and there is a kind of horror feeling of numbness in the scalp.

The large basin of cold water beside the executioner had turned red, and a layer of minced meat foam floated on it, and the smell of blood was terrifying.

This situation is enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

Public enforcement in the small square is very efficient, and the facts of the case are relatively simple, using the judicial summary procedure, and once identified, the punishment is flogging, and sometimes additional fines.

After a while, seven or eight prisoners had been punished, some of whom were picked up by relatives and friends, and some were bloody lying on the ground and wailing in a low voice.

White people are not all bad people, immigrants are not all good people, with the tide of immigration to set foot in Australia there are many originally green-skinned scoundrels, accustomed to oppressing good evildoers.

After the initial period of hesitation, many people have no worries about food and clothing, and life is rich, and many people reveal their original colors.

And this handful of people is the key target of the crackdown on public order.

Although the method is simple and crude, it is undeniable that the effect is really good, and it has an immediate effect of deterring lawlessness.

"Brother Zhuzhu, don't look at it, let's go, it's going to be late if you look at it any longer, I don't want to be reprimanded by the captain." Li Siyuan dragged the reluctant Li Xuanzhu out of the crowd.

He originally thought that he was a person who loved to watch lively, but he didn't expect Li Xuanzhu to be a strange among people, and he didn't look at the Western scenery enough.

"What time is it, instructor."

"I shouted a few times and you didn't come out, it's almost 7:20 now, and it's only more than 10 minutes before the captain's roll call."

"Oh my God, why didn't you call me earlier?"

Li Xuanzhu was frightened, pulled up his legs and rushed towards the barracks, the speed was really fast.

"Call you early?" Li Siyuan rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered; "Your two legs are like roots, and I am sweating all over my body, and I won't accompany you to watch the excitement next time."

After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, and rode away with a shout.

Flogging was not the first of its kind in the Red River Valley, but one of the oldest forms of punishment inherited from Europe, and is as common in feudal monarchies around the world today as it is about hanging.

There were no punishments such as exile and imprisonment in the Red River Valley, so flogging was widely used in the fiefdoms, and it was generally chosen to be executed in public to set an example.

Facts have proved that the results have been very good, and they have played a tremendous role in promoting the rectification of public order.

The public announcement of the verdict in front of the public, law enforcement, in turn, is also a supervision of law enforcement personnel, and the masses have a fair scale in their hearts, and whether the junior judges and assistant prosecutors do well or not affect the reputation of the city's independent prosecutor's office and the court.

Under the electoral system of Great Britain, the independent municipal prosecutor also needs to be electively recognized, and the votes are in the hands of the general public, which is a process of mutual supervision.

Judges, on the other hand, had to be authorized by the noble lord to enforce the law in the feudal lord's estate.

Outside the noble realms, Her Majesty the Governor appointed by Her Majesty appointed by Her Majesty to act as presiding judges of all levels of court is to act in his place.

The two together constitute the feudal judicial power and judicial power, and maintain the social order of the territory, both of which are indispensable.
