Chapter 50: Siping Land Reform (2)
Zhang Debiao's nephew Zhang Ershun watched the police rush into Zhang Debiao's compound. Soon, the gunners were escorted out of the compound with their hands raised. At the same time, the police pulled up the big flag on the wall of Zhang Debiao's compound and threw it from the tower.
Come down.
Seeing that the Zhang Family Courtyard was smashed into a kiln by officers and soldiers, Zhang Ershun was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to look any further and headed straight out of the village along the quiet path in the village.
There were police guarding the entrance to the village, which could not help local Zhang Ershun. He took a long detour, avoided the entrance of the village, and entered the fields. Sorghum and corn were planted in a row outside the village, and the poles had grown very tall. When he went inside, he
There are green crop stalks all around. Not to mention that people outside can't see inside, Zhang Ershun can't see what's outside at all.
I ran along the field ridge and out of the field, a trail appeared in front of me.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Ershun did not dare to slow down and walked straight to the main road along the path.
The reason why Zhang Ershun was not arrested was not because he was clever, but because after He Rui's people arrived in Zhangjiatun, Zhang Ershun was sent to deliver a message to the Zhang family in Changchun. Zhang Debiao wanted the Zhang family's officials in Changchun to send people back to the village, thus
There would be less blood. But before leaving the village, Zhang Ershun saw some movement in the village, so he turned back and saw the Zhang family being attacked.
Someone from the Zhang family is an official in the Changchun government, an officer in the garrison. Now Zhang Ershun's mission is not to report the news, but to try to see if he can move back to recruit troops.
After getting on the main road, Zhang Ershun ran northward. After a few miles, he could no longer run. Seeing two salesmen pushing a cart toward Zhangjiatun, Zhang Ershun slowed down to meet them, hoping to buy some food.
The salesman stopped the cart, pulled back the cloth covering the cart, and greeted Zhang Ershun warmly. Zhang Ershun didn't want to get into trouble, so he pointed to a few pieces of food and took out the money to buy them. One of the salesmen saw that Zhang Ershun didn't bargain and asked with a smile.
: "Brother, you are not from Mr. Zhang Debiao's family, are you?"
Zhang Ershun was stunned. Just when he felt something was wrong, another salesman had already taken action. He grabbed Zhang Ershun's arm, pulled and twisted it, and restrained Zhang Ershun. The two men then tied Zhang Ershun with ropes.
Zhang Ershun thought he was being robbed, so he quickly shouted: "You two good men, money is easy to come by. Let me go and I will give you all the money."
The salesman seemed to be indifferent and calmly covered the cloth on the cart without searching Zhang Ershun's money.
Zhang Ershun was greatly surprised and didn't know in whose hands he fell.
Suddenly, Zhang Ershun came to his senses and shouted quickly: "Brother, someone in our family is an official in Changchun. Let me go, and my brothers will all be rich in the future. Why do you, the governor, do this? Sooner or later, Changchun will know. Why do you
Whatever the warlord gives you, our Zhang family will double it."
"He Governor can make everyone in the village live a good life, can you, the Zhang family?" a salesman replied disdainfully.
Zhang Ershun couldn't figure out what the other party meant, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After thinking hard for a while, he finally managed to say, "I don't know what Governor He said, but officials are the best at lying. Brother,
Money only counts when you get it in your hands!”
Hearing this, the salesman's face changed, "He Lieutenant General lied to us? Is it true that Zhang Debiao trafficked people? Is it true that Zhang Debiao colluded with bandits to rob and kill people?"
Zhang Ershun wanted to quibble, but was speechless for a moment. Zhang Ershun was not in charge of the killings, he just knew that it happened. But Zhang Ershun had participated in the trafficking of women. One of the abducted women was quite handsome.
Although Zhang Ershun didn't really do anything, when he dragged the woman away, he still moved his hands up and down and wiped her away. The woman was insulted, and when she resisted, she also cursed Zhang Ershun, and Zhang Ershun slapped the woman down.
Seeing the anger of He Rui's men, Zhang Ershun didn't dare to say anything, and just listened to the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.
The cavalry stopped in front of the three people, and the officer on the horse said: "Is this someone who escaped?"
The salesman stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Commander Cheng, he must have escaped."
The man on the horse is Cheng Ruofan, who is responsible for road control in this operation. Siping covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. Although there are not many roads, there are only 500 troops. In order to effectively control the news, we must not let any fish slip through the net.
.Cheng Ruofan and the people in the regiment worked hard and wisely.
Although he caught a fish that slipped through the net, Cheng Ruofan did not relax at all. He ordered people to take Zhang Ershun back to the village, and he led the mobile cavalry to turn around and go back. Now the army has set up roadblocks, a number of makeup teams and cavalry
As the team was going back and forth on the road, there were five local tyrants and evil gentry identified, and Zhang Debiao was just one of them.
The next morning, the people in Zhangjiatun were summoned to participate in the public trial of Zhang Debiao.
In the spacious courtyard outside the gate of the Zhang Family Courtyard, Zhang Debiao and other prisoners were tied up and dragged to the public interrogation platform. The cultural instructors in the army publicly announced the crimes of Zhang Debiao and others.
Loan sharking and other things are not the standard for defining local tyrants and evil gentry. If we were to crack down on this standard, I am afraid that the entire Siping landlords and rich peasants would have to be punished.
The criteria for characterization were limited to recognized major crimes such as homicide and human trafficking. After hearing the public examiner describe Zhang Debiao's crimes one by one, the indifferent expressions of the people finally changed.
Chen Deli, the leader of the Zhangjiatun working group, knew that the changes in the masses were brought about by this justice, and Chen Deli was very happy to preside over such a public trial.
After the prosecutor finished explaining Zhang Debiao's crime, he asked Zhang Debiao whether he had pleaded guilty. Of course, Zhang Debiao flatly denied his crime.
By the time Zhang Debiao finished speaking, a small number of people had already booed. Although a few people did not come forward to identify him, they were obviously insiders.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Debiao swore that Sun Er, nicknamed Sun Qitian, was a habitual gangster who deserved to be stabbed a thousand times. As a distinguished gentry, he had never met Sun Er, let alone colluded with Sun Er to kill people and steal goods.
After Zhang Debiao finished speaking, the interrogator signaled, and the police brought several people whose heads were covered with sacks and tied tightly in sacks from a corner of the venue to the public interrogation platform. One of them had his headband taken off, and Zhang Debiao couldn't help but be surprised.
This person turned out to be Sun Er.
Sun Er was actually a bit bold at this time. He laughed loudly, "Mr. Zhang, you are now saying that I will suffer a thousand cuts. This is not what you said when you asked me to do things in the past two years. If you had said this earlier,
Tell me, if we break up, we can save a few lives."
The villagers had all heard of the bandit name of Sun Qitian and Sun Er, but this was the first time they saw Sun Er in person. Hearing Sun Er speak like this, and looking at Zhang Debiao's extremely embarrassed look at the moment, a burst of low laughter spread from the crowd.
The public trial continued until the afternoon. Although Zhang Debiao denied everything, there were many witnesses. Not only Sun Er, but also people from the Chamber of Commerce that were injured in the city sent people to testify. Several of the injured businessmen even took off their clothes to expose their bodies when testifying.
of scars.
Seeing this, the villagers basically knew that Zhang Debiao must be punished by death. But the villagers also knew Zhang Debiao's background very well. It is true that He Rui was the governor of Siping, but there were also people from the Zhang family who were officials in Changchun. They really dared to kill him.
Already?
At this time, the cultural teacher in charge of the case stood up and said loudly to the villagers: "Zhang Debiao committed crimes such as murder, paid murder, human trafficking, etc. The Zhang family..."
The Zhang family has committed many crimes, and it took a while to finish reading them. The villagers were waiting to hear how they would be dealt with, and they were a little impatient.
The cultural teacher's mouth was dry from reading, so he picked up a bowl and took a sip of water before continuing to read the verdict, "Zhang Debiao, death penalty. Execution after autumn. After verification, all members of the Zhang family were more or less involved in Zhang Debiao's various crimes."
Therefore, they were all taken away and sent to a labor camp for reform. The Zhang family's property was confiscated and handed over to the village committee for disposal."
The villagers couldn't figure out what those nouns meant, and that night, everyone started talking about it.
Early the next morning, the villagers who got up earlier discovered that the police had set off.
Zhang Debiao's family members were tied up with ropes and taken out of the Zhang family compound. The men begged and the women cried.
This movement alarmed the whole village. House doors opened, courtyard doors opened, and villagers watched on both sides of the road as the entire Zhang family was swept away and taken away.
Some people were shocked, some were happy, and some were uneasy.
The villagers watched Zhang Debiao's family leave Zhangjiatun under the escort of the police and disappear at the end of the road.
In the morning, the villagers were summoned again.
