Cart after car of prisoners were taken to Anyang. During this period, many prisoners worried about the future and tried to escape. Although their true essence was sealed, they tried to jump off the car. Faced with the completely unfamiliar political environment of Anyang, the prisoners had to go through legal trials, which made many prisoners feel anxious.
However, they were absolutely ruthless to those who tried to escape; they would catch those who could be caught, and those who could not be caught or were too lazy to catch would be shot dead. After a few examples, the rest of them finally became obedient.
The train roared as hundreds of thousands of prisoners arrived in Anyang; the people of Anyang were very excited, having long known that a victory had been won at the front, and they all came to watch.
Gongsun Wushang was so busy that he summoned his few judges to prepare for the trial.
Li Xian observed from the side, "Gongsun Wushang, we in Anyang must rule the country by law and govern the country according to the law. We can't just shout slogans, but also take practical actions. And this trial of prisoners is to give a clear explanation to the people of Anyang and the world, and we must not be careless. Everything must be tried according to the war prisoner law. In addition, we will not use officials who surrendered from enemy countries. All our officials in Anyang are of only two types: one is selected, and the other is talented people like Xu Ren and others."
"Master, rest assured. I will promote the legal system in Anyang in one fell swoop." Although Gongsun Wushang was very busy, his eyes were particularly bright. The legal system in Anyang was the most suitable for Gongsun Wushang's ideals; although there were still some places that did not meet the requirements, it was at least much better than the "king's law" of the Liu Kingdom.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, an unprecedented trial of a grand scale began. All of the more than 100 judges in Anyang were present to judge the 150,000 prisoners.
Countless people came to watch from all directions, and there were even some Jindan stage masters hiding among the people, flying directly in the air - so curious, prisoners of war actually have to be tried
Gongsun Wushang was sitting at the head of the group, feeling a little nervous. This was the first time he had done something like this. Although Liu State had a legal system before, it was a harsh system. There was no so-called trial at all. Those who broke the law were executed directly, and even if they had grievances, they had no place to appeal.
The first to be tried are the officials who surrendered. All officials are interrogated separately, asking what they have done, what others have done, and what secrets they know. Each person will be interrogated three times, and the order of the three questions will be disrupted. If the three confessions do not match, they will be directly judged as "unrepentant". After all, this is the fairyland, an era of war, not a peaceful era.
Anyone who is judged to be unrepentant will be sentenced to death immediately, without any ambiguity. If the answer is serious, the case will enter the review process. Gongsun Wushang took the lead in reviewing the materials.
"Lü Liming, a court councillor, has provided the truthful information. He did not participate in any battles. He is innocent and will be released on the spot. If he wants to settle in Anyang, he can apply for Anyang residency after three years. After five years of having Anyang residency, he will be eligible to participate in the selection of officials in Anyang."
"Zhou Gang, Zhaowu Captain, participated in the battle and killed three Anyang soldiers. Because of his sincere attitude, he is sentenced to life imprisonment without parole."
"I don't accept it!" Zhou Gang was furious.
Gongsun Wushang's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Behead him immediately!"
