    Sun Jin looked out of the prison window anxiously. These days in prison made him feel that his previous persistence might not be correct.

    He calculated the time and found that twenty-five days had passed since he was imprisoned. During these twenty-five days, a large number of prisoners were brought here every day. He secretly estimated that the total number of prisoners had exceeded two thousand.  .

    Judging from his own personal experience, for ordinary accomplices, Yu Guozhen asked the chief prosecutor of each county's judicial department to directly pronounce the sentence. Most of the punishments were three to five years of labor or hard labor - according to the Huaxia News published in the newspaper  According to the provisional criminal law, the current punishments under Yu Guozhen are divided into main punishments and supplementary punishments. There are seven main punishments, namely, hard labor, hard labor, fixed-term imprisonment, exile, life imprisonment, and death penalty. There are five additional punishments, namely, fine, confiscation, public display, whipping,  Tattoo rebuke.  For each crime, only one main penalty is allowed, but there is an unlimited number of additional penalties.  Among them, labor service means serving in the local area, and the prisoner can receive a small amount of remuneration. With this remuneration, he can even barely support his family.  Hard labor does not receive any remuneration and may be sent to other places to serve a sentence.  The tattoo in the additional penalty is somewhat like the "never hire" of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Those who receive this penalty are not allowed to hold any public office in the Chinese Military Strategy Commission for a certain period of time.

    Therefore, the person who was brought to Shanghai must be the so-called "principal criminal". Judging from the two thousand or so "principal criminals" alone, Sun Jin can judge that the storm caused by Yu Guozhen this time has aroused strong feelings in various places.  rebound.  I originally thought that this turbulent situation could force Yu Guozhen to surrender and compromise. If so, the Donglin people who initiated this matter would be able to gain momentum again, but now it seems.  Yu Guozhen not only did not give in, but also adopted tough measures that he had never used before.

    This made Sun Jin unable to understand why Yu Guozhen dared to risk the world to speak out.

    More than twenty days in prison allowed Sun Jin to calm down and think about some things. On the one hand, asking Chen Zilong for help on the street made him feel ashamed. After all, he did not have the backbone of the Six Gentlemen of Senior Dong Lin; on the other hand.  He was also very suspicious and resentful. Did Chen Zilong not take his request for help to heart? Or did Yu Guozhen have murderous intentions against him?

    In his opinion, murderous intent is not possible.  Because Yu Guozhen has always been nostalgic for the past, there was some friendship between the two at the beginning of Yu Guozhen's career.  When he first started publishing manuscripts, Sun Jin also provided support to Yu Guozhen.

    At this moment, he finally heard footsteps outside, and then he saw Chen Zilong and another person striding over.

    The steps are in a hurry.

    Sun Jin was happy at first. Because of the angle, he could see Chen Zilong clearly, but the other person could only see that he was wearing the uniform of the Chinese Army.  He knew that Yu Guozhen liked to wear uniforms. He thought it was Yu Guozhen who finally came to see him, but it didn't take long.  He realized that this man looked more familiar than Yu Guozhen.

    It¡¯sKe Xian!

    It was Sun Lin and Sun Kexian who followed Chen Zilong.

    Sun Jin and Sun Lin have not seen each other for many years. Ever since Sun Lin was sent to the south by Yu Guozhen, he first went to Hainan Island to take over Gu Jiaming's team and took charge of the civil defense of Changhua County, and then was promoted to the chief of civil defense in Hainan.  .  After the establishment of the China Military Strategy Commission, he was transferred to the post of Admiral of Guangdong Armed Forces.  Sun Lin has been busy with the militia affairs in Guangdong. After learning from the past, he is now much more practical and diligent in his work, so he has no time to return to Tongcheng. Sun Jin does not go to the south out of aloofness.  So the two brothers didn't really see each other for six years.

    Sun Jin often wrote letters to Sun Lin, knowing that Sun Lin was busy with affairs in the Chinese Military Strategy Commission. Now that he came here, it must be because of his own affairs.  This made Sun Jin suddenly feel a little ashamed. He had been taking care of this brother all these years, and it was this brother who caused trouble for him to clean up. But today it was the other way around, and he caused trouble for his own brother.

    This made Sun Jin feel scared: Don't let Sun Lin's future in the Chinese Military Strategy Commission be affected because of himself.

    The guards following Sun Lin and Chen Zilong opened the cell door. Compared with other prisoners, Sun Jin was treated preferentially. At least he was in a single cell, instead of eight or even a dozen like other prisoners.  Individuals crowded into a room.  However, this kind of temporary prison converted from a warehouse is dull and damp, and it is still extremely uncomfortable to stay here.

    As soon as the door opened, Sun Lin rushed in. The musty smell of the prison rushed into his nose. When his nose became sour, tears started to flow down his face.

    "Brother, brother!"

    Seeing Sun Jin stand up and look at him, Sun Lin knelt down, hugged his knees and cried bitterly.

    "Ke Xian, what are you doing here!"

    Sun Jin originally had thousands of words to say, including resentment, ridicule, and some faint unwillingness.  But seeing his brother's appearance, he could only say this, and then pulled Sun Lin up.

    ? ?But Sun Lin couldn't stand it and kept crying.

    This made Sun Jin's heart gradually sink.

    He knew that his brother was passionate and passionate. If he cried for a while when they first met, it was possible, but if he kept crying, it would only prove one thing.

    "Ke Xian arrived in Shanghai three days ago and has been begging Yu Guozhen, butit wasn't until just now that Yu Guozhen allowed him to come and see you." Chen Zilong next to him sighed.

    Sun Jin¡¯s heart suddenly turned cold.

    He could imagine how much humiliation Sun Lin suffered in front of Yu Guozhen in order to intercede on his behalf.

    "Ke Xian, why do you need to beg him? He just acted like a thief and took my life, and it has nothing to do with you." Sun Jin said angrily: "Ke Xian, tell him for me, although I am cowardly,  Don¡¯t be afraid of death!¡±

    Even so, Sun Jin felt cold sweat on his back and his forehead was oily.

    "I won't die, Yu Jimin said. Although my brother's crime was quite serious, he listed six crimes, one of which was the crime of separatism, the second was the crime of subversion, and the third was the crime of murder"

    "If you want to add crimes, there is no need to hesitate. He can just place these charges wherever he wants!" Sun Jin said coldly.

    This attitude made Sun Lin's voice choke again, and Chen Zilong could only smile bitterly.

    The five-year unification plan of the China Military Strategy Commission was developed step by step, and it took three years.  The "Criminal Code", "Civil Code", "Property Law", "Military Service Law", "Education Law" and other laws were formulated.  These laws are the joint system of the Chinese Military Strategy Commission, which brought together figures from all parties, and several of Sun Jin's main crimes came from these laws, especially the Criminal Code.

    When Sun Lin went to look for Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen showed him various evidences, including witness statements, letters serving as physical evidence, and other people's confessions.  Based on this evidence.  Sun Jin played a considerable role in the turmoil of the Longhua Society, and although Yu Guozhen himself did not say it, the testimony stated that Sun Jin led everyone from the Longhua Society to dig up Yu Guozhen's ancestral grave.  Chen Zilong and Sun Lin were also greatly shocked.

    If only someone else is hurt, Chen Zilong thinks it¡¯s okay to intercede. The legal principle is nothing more than human kindness.  But when it comes to Yu Guozhen's ancestral tomb, this is a big taboo. In any era, it would be a case that would lead to a big prison. Yu Guozhen has arrested more than 2,000 people and sent them to Shanghai, and has quickly and severely sentenced tens of thousands of people in various places.  This may be the reason!

    "Brother, just admit your mistake to Jimin. I also read the confession. You were kidnapped. You didn't really intend to dig up Yu Jimin's ancestral grave. You also discouraged those things that hurt and looted." Sun Lin thought than Chen Zilong.  He also has a better understanding of Yu Guozhen's various systems, including the judicial system: "Subordination should reduce the crime. And showing repentance and meritorious service can also reduce the crime. Brother, just admit your mistake!"

    "The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but you must never admit your mistake. Kexian, our Sun family has you anyway. Your nephews and nieces will also be taken care of by you. I am very relieved." Sun Jin said with heart.

    If Yu Guozhen came in person, he might compromise with him, but it was Sun Lin who came - how could he show his lack of integrity in front of his younger brother?  Since he couldn't care about what was before him, he could only think about his reputation after death.

    "Brother!"

    "Stop talking, if you do, I will drive you away!" Sun Jin said sternly: "Yu Jimin can succeed for a while, but can he protect the world's mouths, and can he stop the sword of history?"

    Hearing him say such words, Chen Zilong had an embarrassed look on his face, and Sun Lin was even more shocked.

    After a while, Chen Zilong slowly took out a few newspapers and pushed them in front of Sun Jin.

    But it is the "Nandu Weekend" newspaper. This newspaper is now Donglin's mouthpiece newspaper. Because it has considerable influence among the old literati, it has not only not closed down since its inception five years ago, but has formed a relatively stable readership group.

    When Sun Jin looked at this newspaper, he saw that the first one was published more than a month ago. At that time, he was still free. He had seen this newspaper. The title of the cover story was "The only man in Haidong ignores the public opinion, and the gentry in the world is in a violent mood". It criticized  Yu Guozhen dealt with the matter of the squire named Qi in Shandong.  He had read this newspaper, so he glanced at Chen Zilong in surprise: "I have read this article, and I think it was written by Hou Fangyu. He is worthy of being a famous scholar, a new talent who has returned to society, and his rhetoric is passionate"

    "Look again, look down again."

    The second newspaper was still from Nandu Weekend, but it was from twenty-five days ago, when Sun Jin and others were being taken to Shanghai.  This time the title is even more intense: "The sky has no eyes, so that the righteous people are wronged by the Yangtze River; the history has a pen, so that the thieves of the people will be blamed for thousands of years!"

    The article was about Sun Jin and others being taken to Shanghai. Although Yu Guozhen¡¯s name was not mentioned in the article, who the thieves were referring to can only be understood after reading the newspaper.?There will be no misunderstanding.  And at the end, he sighed very deeply, and then wrote down the names of "righteous men".  Among them, Sun Jin is listed among them, and his position is extremely high.

    Sun Jin was overjoyed, he was indeed famous all over the world.

    Looking at the next week, it was the "Nandu Weekend" fifteen days ago. The title was "There may be doubts about whether it is civil unrest or civil uprising." The content was no longer a one-sided advocacy for the previous gentry riots.  Moreover, in this article, it is mentioned that Yu Guozhen wrote his name directly at the time, but there is no allusion to it. People who participated like Sun Jin were called "people who don't know the truth."

    Sun Jin glanced at Chen Zilong suspiciously and saw a sad smile on Chen Zilong's face. He knew something was wrong and turned to the next page. It was still "Southern Weekend", but it was ten days ago and the title was different.  It is "The truth is revealed, evil is eliminated and righteousness is restored, and the Chinese Military Strategy Commission makes a prompt decision." In this article, Yu Guozhen's name is Yu Gongtao, and his character is "Guozhen Benefiting the People", and he denounces the gentry rebellion as a chaos for the people.

    Sun Jin felt great pain in his heart. He looked at the next picture. It was from two days ago, but it was "Cheering for the Ding Revolution of China". The reporter was Yu Guozhen entering Jinling, Zhu Yousong abdicated, and the Chinese Military Strategy Commission fully replaced him.  The small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was in charge of several provinces south of the Yangtze River.  In this article, Yu Guozhen still appears, but his title has become "the most respected commander-in-chief of our people, the helmsman of China, the admiration of billions of people, and the pilgrimage of all nations." Finally, the article also said that the previous people  The chaos is a group of clowns who do not understand the general trend and try to use their hands as a driver. They should be swept into the garbage bin of history.

    Sun Jin¡¯s face turned pale, and the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

    "ThisthisHou Xun, what a show of integrity you have!" Sun Jin looked up to the sky and sighed. He couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spurted it out.
