377 [Shooting in Court] Part 1

The First Court of the Shanghai Bund French Concession is located near the most prosperous Bund in the French Concession, to be precise, near Nanjing Road.

It is winter now, the entire Nanjing Road is covered with snow, and the Bund is even frozen for thousands of miles. Occasionally, the sound of whistles of cruise ships makes the whole cold winter look a little more lively.

Compared to the cold outside, the First Court was extremely lively. Whether it was reporters from major newspapers in Shanghai or some celebrities and gentlemen, they all gathered here today to listen to the assassination of the French ambassador.

Feng Jingyao, Du Guosheng, Huang Tianrong, as well as some important members of the National Government, as well as senior French political personnel, as well as the bosses from other concessions in Shanghai all gathered together to find the most favorable position to watch the trial.

When Feng Chengcheng rushed over quickly, the trial had already begun. The presiding officer was Guo Yaozun, a famous celebrity who had a history of studying in France, appointed after French research.

Guo Yaozun was 43 years old this year. In the late Qing Dynasty, he went to France with the certificates given by Empress Dowager Cixi and his part-time work and study. He majored in architecture in Paris and Marseille, France, and studied law in his spare time.

Chinese students in that era were very hard-working, and Guo Yaozun was the same. During the days of eating sweet sauce and baguette, he worked hard for four years and then returned to China on a steamer.

After returning from France, Guo Yaozun was full of ambitions and wanted to become famous in the architectural world, overthrow those old buildings, build Western buildings all over China, and create a brand new world.

Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny.

Guo Yaozun hit a wall everywhere in the construction industry, and his head was bleeding.

Especially in this era, everything is changing, but this building remains unmoved.

In desperation, Guo Yaozun had to come to Shanghai. He thought he could make a living by building, but he didn't expect that he would make a name for himself by relying on the law in the end.

The side business has become the main business, and the main business has become redundant. This is the tragedy and luck of this era.

No matter what, Guo Yaozun is one of the few elites in this era, and to be precise, he is an elite who is both trusted by the National Government and the foreign government. Therefore, everyone was convinced by his position as the judge of the trial this time.

At this moment, Guo Yaozun sat upright on the seat of the Justice in front of the court, wearing a snow-white wig and a spacious lawyer's robe.

On the left and right sides of Guo Yaozun are twelve jury members, all of whom are well-dressed, like Westerners, wearing long robes and wigs.

In the middle of the court, an old beggar named "Chen Dawang" stood in the middle of the fence with a dull expression.

The old beggar Chen Dawang took a rare shower today, shaved his beard, took off his dirty clothes, changed into prison uniforms, and his whole body was completely refreshed.

The person who served as the chief prosecutor this time was a man with glasses. He carefully interrogated some of the old beggar's situation that day, and especially carefully asked about the old beggar's grudges with French ambassador Andrew before.

The old beggar also answered the question of the chief prosecutor very seriously, saying that his grandson was crushed to death by Andrew, so he held a grudge. So when he met Ambassador Andrew for the second time, he assassinated Ambassador Andrew with a dagger hidden in his arms.

The main controller nodded, thinking that what the old beggar said had human evidence and physical evidence, and it seemed to be true.

but----

The main controller changed his tone and said that the old beggar was just a beggar with no power or power, while Ambassador Andrew was a dignified French official, and the gap between the two was too big.

Under such a big gap, it is hard to convince that the old beggar dared to assassinate Andrew!

After saying this, the chief prosecutor made another metaphor, saying that if a person is in a humble position for a long time, he will be habitually trampled and ravaged by others. Even if he wants to resist, he will be disintegrated by habitual inferiority. This is the most important law of inertia in psychology, so the old beggar dares to assassinate the French ambassador because of his grandson's death. The change in the middle is suspicious.

Under the stern questioning of the chief prosecutor, the old beggar who had originally looked dull and looked a little panicked.

Huang Tianrong, who had been paying attention to the trial in the audience, couldn't help but feel overjoyed and felt that there was a chance!

"A Sheng, this chief controller is not simple. Look, his words are sharp, making this old guy speechless!" Huang Tianrong said to Du Guosheng.

"I've long said that there is a ghost behind this. That old man is poor. How dare you touch the French ambassador? Someone must be making a fool behind the scenes!"

When talking about "making a fool", Huang Tianrong couldn't help but glance at Ye Jindong who was sitting in the front row.

Ye Jindong sat in the front row, with a calm expression, and most of the people around him were his subordinates and confidants.

"You mean Ye Jindong?" Du Guosheng also glanced at Ye Jindong in Huang Tianrong's gaze.

"Of course! In Shanghai, who else dares to be so bold?" Huang Tianrong couldn't help but snorkeling.

Du Guosheng: "But I'm very worried!"

"What are you worried about?"

"Although Ye Jindong is arrogant, he does things without any leakage. How could he give you a handle?"

"You look down on him too highly!" Huang Tianrong sneered, "Although he is powerful, you have also given him the title of Emperor Shanghai, but can he really take responsibility? He is a young man, arrogant, and likes to be arrogant when doing things. I see how he dies this time!"

In Huang Tianrong's view, this trial is Ye Jindong's death day. As long as the chief prosecutor works hard to force the old beggar to point out the master behind the scenes, then Ye Jindong will be doomed!

Feng Jingyao was also smoking a big cigar and looked at the aggressive chief prosecutor in court, and praised him very much.

Xu Wenqiang next to him couldn't help but say, "This Chen Dawang has a very poor psychological quality, I'm afraid he will be forced to ask something by the chief prosecutor!"

Feng Jingyao smiled slightly: "That's interesting, it's not in vain that I came here to hear the trial in the heavy snow!"

Xu Wenqiang looked at Feng Jingyao in surprise, and couldn't tell what his words meant.

In Xu Wenqiang's impression, Feng Jingyao has always admired Ye Jindong very much, but in this situation, he actually hopes that Ye Jindong will fall apart?

Wouldn't that mean that my chance has come?

Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but feel hot.

Because she came late, Feng Chengcheng, who could only sit behind, also looked nervously in the court. Although she didn't know the struggle behind the case, she also knew that the matter seemed to be related to Ye Jindong.

So she had to silently mutter in her heart, "Brother Ye, you must not be in trouble!"

Looking at the old beggar in the fence, facing the aggressive questioning of the chief prosecutor, he seemed to be unable to hold on anymore and shouted: "Please don't force me, I will take it! Isn't it okay to take it?!"
