It's still early to enter the barracks

The two officers led the horses all the way, chatting and passing through the street in front, and came to a small square. Suddenly, a gong sounded, and the frightened horses raised their front hooves and neighed.

Li Siyuan hurriedly grabbed the reins and comforted the war horses, then turned to look over with an angry face. It turned out that several Royal Mounted Police led the Xinghua Association militia and escorted a group of people. A fellow in front of him rang the gong and the other fellow held high the banner of "law enforcement".

The two of them understood at a glance that this was a common open law enforcement in cities, and they generally punished thieves, bar beatings, teasing women, and minor illegal acts of not complying with public morality. According to the illegal acts, one to ten whippings were punished.

Generally speaking, you can take it home after the match.

There is no prison in Red River Valley. Those who violate the criminal law are subject to warnings or whippings. Those who commit serious crimes are thrown into hard labor camps. Those who are more serious are directly on the gallows and just wait for the body to be collected.

There were some relatives and family members of prisoners around the small square, standing nearby with a frown in a flatbed cart, waiting with a sad face. With the sound of gongs, Chinese who have always loved to watch the fun flocked in, and soon filled the small square.

Li Siyuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said with a smile, "There are more than 40 minutes left before the morning gathering and lectures. There is still time left. Let's watch for a while before leaving."

"Hehe... I'm not to be hiding the instructor. I have loved watching the fun since I was a child. If I can't see itchy in my heart, I feel like a cat scratching." Li Shuanzhu grinned and finally revealed his true face.

"Okay, actually I like to watch the fun too."

Instructor Li Siyuan was just in his early 20s and was not much older than Li Shuanzhu. He was also a young man. After saying that, he stretched his neck to look at the Western scenery.

There is a wooden shelf in the small square with a table next to it. Behind the table is a city assistant prosecutor and a junior judge of the city court. Both are middle-aged Chinese immigrants.

The assistant prosecutor was a fat white man in his 30s with round face with round gold glasses. When he saw the prisoner bringing him, he stood up and picked up the prosecutor's book placed on the table and said;

"Take prisoner No. 1, Irving Skecher and prisoner No. 2, Gu Haitao, come forward. You two are accused of fighting in a bar and damaging several property, causing the bar maid Miko Maeda to fracture her arm and accompanied by multiple bruises. The facts of the case are clear. The two criminals confessed after being arrested and requested a ruling from the temporary civil court."

Prisoner No. 1, Irving Skecher and prisoner No. 2, Gu Haitao were taken in front. Listening to the prosecutor's accusation, he was speechless in dejection.

They are all drunk, and when they drink too much, I feel that I am the best in the world, so there is nothing stupid to do.

The assistant prosecutor made a brief statement and sat down.

The judge with a cold face asked, "Do you two have any objections to the facts of the crime?"

"No." Gu Haitao, a prisoner in the No. 2, replied.

"Can I say objection work?" No. 1 prisoner Irving Skecher stammered his neck, and his face looked dissatisfied.

The cold-faced judge ignored him and stood up and said, "With the power granted to me by the noble Earl of Queensland, I sentenced prisoner No. 1, Irving Skecher and prisoner No. 2, Gu Haitao, the sentence is as follows;

Given that the prisoner No. 2 Gu Haitao had a good attitude of pleading guilty, he was fined 20 pounds and was punished with five whips and executed immediately.

Given that the No. 1 prisoner Irving Skecher was provoked first and had a poor attitude to confess his guilt and was suspected of contempt of court, he was fined 50 pounds and was punished with eight whips and executed immediately."

After the judgment is over

The cold-faced judge sat down, turned his head and whispered to the assistant prosecutor. He might have said something interesting and chuckled from time to time. A case was handled in less than three minutes.

No. 1 prisoner Irving Skecher was fined 30 pounds more because of his poor attitude towards confessing guilt, but also had to whip three more. He opened his mouth and didn't dare to say anything tough, so he had to shut up his mouth when he knew the opportunity.

Immediately, Irving Skech was dragged to the side of the wooden shelf by two strong men with big arms and round waists. He took off his upper clothes and the shackles on his hands were tied to the wooden shelf, forming a "big" shape.

The executioner behind him was a burly and strong man. He walked up with a heavy whip in his hand, spreading it out in a cold water basin, splashing water, making the prisoner's mind tremble.

Immediately, the executioner spread the long whip behind him, and could see sharp barbs embedded in the cowhide, flashing with a cold luster in the morning light.

"Hi..." a muffled drink

The executioner threw a long whip and stroked it through the air, whipping it hard on the prisoner's smooth back. With the crisp and loud sound that made people's scalp numb, a long hideous blood mark appeared on the prisoner's back, from his shoulders to his waist.

"Ah..." Irving Skecher's shocking hissing sound rang out, and his tense body relaxed softly.

Before he could recover from the extreme pain, the second whip whipped up again, and directly stuffed his screams into his throat, turning into a moan of pain.

One whip after another, the prisoner Owens Cage could still scream. When he whipped the eighth whip, the blood marks on his back were already bright red.

Each of them was deeply whipped into the flesh, and the body could no longer scream in the weak twitching, just like whipping on the rotten meat.

"Next."

The RCMP, who maintained order on the side, was not surprised. After the execution, the prisoner was discharged and threw him on the ground next to him.

Someone came to pay the fine and could take it home to recuperate. No one asked, throw it into the carriage and drag it back to the police station. As for life and death, you should be blessed.

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

The prisoner No. 2, Guo Haitao, was so scared that his legs were trembling. The heroic spirit of killing all over the world had disappeared in the bar. He was dragged and tied to a wooden frame by two burly men.

5 After the whip was whipped, I could only lie on the ground and hum.

Relatives and friends quickly paid a fine of 20 pounds, carried him to the flatbed cart and settled it down, and dragged him all the way to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic to apply medicine and wrap it in the wound.

The entire trial company and the execution process did not exceed 10 minutes. At this time, prisoner No. 3 was already waiting below, trembling and stripping off his clothes, and tied them to a wooden rack.

This guy is a coachman who delivers goods. He was caught on the spot because his horse was urinated everywhere. He was also a blush-headed man with a bad temper. He was unwilling to pay the fine and even spit out a fragrant mouth. He even waved his whip and the law enforcement militia to work hard, breaking the heads of both militiamen.

At this time, he was sentenced to 6 whip and the coachman's legs were frightened on the spot.

"No, judge, master, the villain knows that he is wrong. I will be a cow and a horse for you in my life..."

He shouted for mercy without a second, accompanied by a muffled shout of "Hey", and with a sharp barbarian whip, he whipped hard on the back of the coachman, making a crisp sound that made his scalp numb, and strangled the coachman's begging for mercy in his throat, turning into a shocking scream...

Every time the whip goes down, the onlookers will make a sound of shock, "Huh...", feeling a thrilling feeling of numbness in the scalp.

The large basin containing cold water around the executioner had turned red, with a layer of minced meat floating on it, which was bloody.

This situation is enough to remember for life.

The public law enforcement efficiency in the small square is very high, and the relevant case is relatively simple. It adopts simplified judicial procedures. Once determined, it will be punished with whip and sometimes fines will be added.

After a while, seven or eight prisoners were punished. Some were picked up by relatives and friends, while others were lying on the ground in blood and wailing. This was the end of a criminal.

Whites are not all bad people, and immigrants are not all good people. There are many evil people who have entered Australia with the tide of immigration, who are originally green-skinned rogues and are accustomed to oppressing good people.

After the initial period of wandering, many people have no worries about food and clothing and have a wealth of life, and many people have revealed their original appearance.

And this small group of people is the key target of social security crackdown.

Although the method is simple and crude, it is undeniable that the effect is really good, and it immediately has a deterrent effect.

"Brother Shuanzhu, stop watching, let's go. If you continue to watch, you will be late. I don't want to be scolded by the captain." Li Siyuan forced Li Shuanzhu to leave the crowd, who was reluctant to leave.

He originally thought he was a person who liked to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that Li Shuanzhu was a stranger among people and didn't look enough of Western scenery.

"It's time, instructor."

"I've called you several times and you haven't come out. Now it's almost 7:20, and it's only more than 10 minutes before the captain can call him."

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

Li Shuanzhu was shocked, pulled up his legs and ran towards the military camp, with a very fast speed.

"I've called you a long time ago?" Li Siyuan rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered, "You guy's legs are like a root, which makes me sweat all over. I won't watch the fun with you next time, no matter what I say."

After saying that, he turned over and drove away with a horse.

Flashing is not the first in the Red River Valley, but one of the long-standing types of punishments inherited from Europe. It is common in feudal monarchies in the world today and is as well known as hanging.

There are no punishments such as exile or imprisonment in the Red River Valley, so whipping is widely used in territorial fiefs, and it is generally chosen to be publicly punished in public to serve as a warning.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good and has played a great role in promoting the rectification of public security.

Public verdicts and law enforcement in public are also a supervision of law enforcement personnel. The masses have a fair scale in their hearts. Whether junior judges and assistant prosecutors do well or not, affecting the reputation of the municipal independent prosecutor's office and court.

Under the electoral system of the Great Britain, independent city prosecutors also need to pass election recognition, and the votes are in the hands of ordinary people. This is a process of mutual supervision.

Judges are different. When enforcing the law on the fiefs of feudal lords, they must obtain the authorization of the noble lords.

Outside the noble territory, the Governor appointed by Her Majesty the Queen performs this right and appoints the presiding judges of courts at all levels.

The two together form feudal judicial power and judicial power, and maintain the social order of the territory is indispensable.
