"Have you heard that? The case of the Chinese worker killing the police is actually going to be publicly tried in the Municipal Plaza."

"God! Why?"

"It seems that a state legislator promoted this matter and said that it should reflect the legal spirit of our United States."

"Bad! You should hang them when dealing with Chinese workers! No one is left, not to mention that bastard even killed someone!"

A week after the incident of "Chinese workers killing police" broke out, there was a discussion on the streets and alleys in San Francisco. This was to give this Chinese worker a public trial to let the kid see the American legal spirit. Of course, many San Francisco citizens think it is a waste of time and it is a favorite to hang the Chinese worker, but despite this, they are idle. When they go to see how to judge, convict, and hang a Chinese worker. This seems quite interesting.

In the mid-19th century, there were not many entertainment projects in the west. Apart from drinking and shooting at gunpoint, they were looking for a miserable woman. Now, the trial of this Chinese worker has been regarded as an entertainment project by many San Francisco citizens and even the people of California.

From this point of view, the United States and the Qing Dynasty were a bit similar at this time, and the people all liked to watch beheading...

When Li Mengyang heard that he was going to be a public trial, he was not very excited because he knew very well that this was just a procedure. In this era, he might still have to be hanged.

However, this is obviously Huang Rong’s helper, and Li Mengyang was really moved.

Time flies...

On August 3, 1855, it was almost a month since the day when the Chinese workers killed police. The incident was almost fermented, and many newspapers reported it. Therefore, a very rare public trial meeting in San Francisco's history began on this day.

The Municipal Square in San Francisco is actually a large open space in front of the city hall. It is a dirt site at this time. If it rains, there will be no one left. But at this time, a wooden platform was built here. On the platform, the judge, jury, prosecutor, defense lawyer, defendant, witness, and all seats have been prepared. There is also a gallower not far away. Obviously, we should not delay the sentence after the sentence is over.

After a while, the protagonists of this trial will appear.

John Neilly Johnson, who was very gentle and quiet, sat there completely a gentleman, but he was very content with his heart because it was what he pushed.

You should know that no judge likes to conduct trials in broad daylight, because they have to wear a stupid wig cover and they must be very solemn. In addition, most of them are fat and fat, and they are not uncomfortable in the sun.

But this time, with his eloquence and wit, not only convinced the judge and the jury, but even San Francisco Mayor James Van Nice and California Governor John Bigler supported this public trial.

This is not easy. You should know that everyone's parties are different. However, everyone has the same purpose, that is, they must take back the rights that originally belonged to the government from the San Francisco Public Security Council!

Neilly Johnson saw the mayor and governor's psychology very clearly. They hoped that through this public trial, they would clarify the authority of the government and demonstrate the dignity of the law. However, in Neilly Johnson's view, he could also get huge benefits in this.

"Take the defendant!"

"Hang him!"

"Satan!"

"Don't judge, hang him!"

When Li Mengyang was taken to the public trial court, huge boos and insults broke out in the entire scene!

Li Mengyang stood up straight and looked around the entire public trial site. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, on the trees, on the platform, and on the roofs near the Municipal Plaza, all of them were full of people, as if everyone from all over California had come.

"Damn! You don't go to find gold, but you see me being hanged. What's the mentality?" For some reason, Li Mengyang was not afraid, but found it ridiculous, because he seemed to see a bunch of Ah Q. Is it fun to see the beheaded?

Of course, he also saw that Chinese workers were in the crowd. Although there were not many, they were also squeezed in front.

"Brother Meng Yang..." Huang Rong in the crowd was covered in sweat at this time. She was actually a witness, but now there was no special area for her, but Huang Rong would soon need to appear in court to testify.

"I am here, and I sincerely swear to God that everything I say is the truth, without a single false statement..."

Huang Rong, wearing a Western dress, swore aloud to the Bible. Her voice was crisp and her English pronunciation was quite authentic. There were so many people in the audience, and there was no sound at all. Obviously, they were all afraid of disturbing God and the old man.

At this time, Li Mengyang was extremely moved because he knew that Huang Rong was not a believer, but now she swears to the Bible, which shows that she had forced herself to believe in God in order to save herself...

Girl, it really worked hard!

How can I make my testimony stronger?

That is to be a believer and swear to the Bible in court.

Of course, it is not that those who do not swear cannot testify, but such testimony is of average credibility to the people, juries and even judges. This is the United States, not only in the mid-19th century, but even more than a hundred years later.

Huang Rong does not have a very deep understanding of these principles, but as long as Brother Meng Yang who can save her, she will try it.

Enter the church and believe in God?

It seems no different from worshiping Guanyin, Buddha, Taishang Laojun, etc.

"Huang (Huang) and Red (Yong)?"

"yes."

The prosecutor's pronunciation was very awkward, but now Huang Rong is not in the mood to correct her, and she is a little nervous.

"You were violated by Officer Slade that night, were you?"

"He, he wants to do the worst to me." Obviously, Huang Rong was embarrassed, because this matter was definitely difficult for traditional Chinese women, even if she knew foreign languages, it would be the same.

“Just answer yes or no?”

"yes."

The prosecutor's tone was very rude.

"Later, you were rescued by this Chinese worker named Li Mengyang (Li Mengyang), right?"

"yes."

"Is Officer Slade dead?"

"This, this..."

“The answer is yes or no!”

"yes."

"At that time, Officer Curtis's record, Li Mengyang said that you seem to be his master, right?"

"No, he's just a hired worker in our family."

“OK.”

Obviously, in many words, Eastern and Western cultures are in conflict, and just a small detail reflects a lot of things.

"Then let me ask you again, when you visited the defendant in prison, you said he was your fiancé, right?" It seems that the prosecutor collected evidence from Curtis.

"This..." Faced with this problem, Huang Rong's face turned red instantly and hesitated.

Yes, how could a traditional oriental woman have the nerve to say this in such a public place?

“WOO, Huh!”

"Hahaha, you said it!"

The thrust is coming, like a tsunami!

"Yes, hey, no, no, Brother Meng Yang and I are just..." He hesitated, his words were not straightforward, and Huang Rong felt a little about to cry. How could this public be so embarrassed to say this?

"Okay, you need to say nothing." The prosecutor did not waste time. He ignored Huang Rong and said to the judge, "Judge, I request that Huang Yong's testimony be deleted. Although she is one of the victims of this case, judging from the police's records, she said that Slade had acts of evil against her, but she herself had an unusual relationship with the defendant, and her testimony would obviously have an unfair impact on the trial of the case."

"Ah?" Huang Rong was immediately stunned when she heard the old guy who asked him what he said.

"Agree with the prosecutor's request, the jury regarded everything he had heard as if he hadn't heard it." The judge with a white wig was sweating at this time.

"Ah haha!"

"Just hang him directly!"

At this moment, the crowd was having fun watching the excitement, and everyone understood that this Chinese girl was the most powerful witness of the defendant. Now that this witness has been removed, will this Chinese worker still die?

"Brother Meng Yang! Brother Meng Yang!" Huang Rong didn't want to go down, she wanted to testify, but the bailiff pulled her down.

"Oh~" Huang San sighed. His dollars were all gone!

Not only is it a lawyer fee of 100, but also a daughter who insists on going to believe in religion. How can God let you believe it for nothing?

And now, Huang Rong began to complain in her heart, "Stinky God! It's useless!"
