"Let's go, let's go! There's a public trial happening, Li Xiaogang has been caught and brought back!" At the head of Sancha River streets, the crowd was hurrying toward the area of Laoniu Market, calling friends to join them as they went, bustling like it was Chinese New Year.
Li Mancang's arrest was taken very seriously by the county too; no sooner had he arrived than the loudspeakers on the streets of Sancha River township had already made several announcements, stating that a public trial would be held that very day.
In truth, there had been fewer public trials in the past two years. In the years before that, it was not only public trials, but several criminals guilty of heinous crimes had even been executed by shooting. Back then, many people even went to watch the executions; it truly satisfied the public's sense of justice.
