Chapter 600: Not Guilty
It was Guan Ping who answered Gao Zhiyong, and he looked at Gao Zhiyong with a smile, "Niannian is my closed disciple, this girl is stubborn, she has caused trouble to Director Gao, right?"
The paper in Gao Zhiyong's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
He smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly lowered his head and picked it up, which was the working principles and workflow of the Zezhou Legal Counsel Institute drafted by Zhou Niannian.
He originally wanted to show it to Guan Ping and let Guan Lao give him guidance, but this is Guan Lao, and his old man said a few words casually, which was enough for him to benefit a lot.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Niannian turned out to be a student of Guan Lao, or a disciple of Guan Lao.
Gao Zhiyong subconsciously tidied up the paper and put it behind him, and his gaze at Zhou Niannian suddenly changed, "Lawyer Zhou, you are too modest, I.... I didn't even know that you were Guan Lao's master. ”
Zhou Niannian smiled, "It's not too late for Director Gao to know now." ”
"It's not late, it's not too late. Gao Zhiyong muttered to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and secretly congratulated himself that when he was in Zhang Peilan's case, he finally stood on Zhou Niannian's side.
If he has been working against Zhou Niannian, and Zhou Niannian returns to Kyoto in the future, Guan Lao will say something casually, I am afraid that his career as a director will come to an end.
Gao Zhiyong glanced at Zhou Niannian with a complicated expression, he really didn't expect that this little girl who still had a bird with a bird when she came to report would be Guan Lao's closed disciple.
It's really unseemly, and fortunately, after thinking about it, he agreed with Zhou Niannian's decision, and Gao Zhiyong couldn't help but praise himself.
Zhou Niannian asked Guan Ping, "Teacher, are you here for Zhang Peilan's case this time?"
Guan Ping nodded, then shook his head again.
Zhou Niannian was puzzled.
Guan Ping smiled, "Nian Nian, this case is no longer just a case, it is likely to reverse a controversial point that has always existed in our country regarding the trial of criminal cases." ”
Zhou Niannian naturally knew this, and it was precisely because of this that she asked Xuan to help her report in the newspaper.
"If this matter goes well, there will be a turning point in our country's legal history, which is a good thing," Guan Ping patted her hand with a relieved face, "Good job, girl." ”
Zhou Niannian smiled happily when he heard this, anyone who heard his teacher's praise couldn't help but be happy.
"When the teacher comes, the turn of events is even greater. ”
Guan Ping patted her hand and did not speak.
The progress of the matter was indeed as Zhou Niannian expected, Guan Ping took several old experts into the Zezhou court, after two days of discussion, and asked Zhou Niannian to go over and conduct a new hearing, and finally the Zezhou court made a verdict: Zhang Peilan was acquitted.
Zhou Niannian took the court's verdict and went to the Investigation Bureau.
She personally took Zhang Peilan out and handed her the verdict, "I finally lived up to your entrustment." ”
Zhang Peilan took the power of attorney, read it again and again, and then hugged it to her chest and cried.
Zhou Niannian didn't stop it, she didn't comfort her, she knew that Zhang Peilan had escaped death, and she had too many emotions to vent.
She needed to cry heartily.
Zhou Niannian sat quietly next to her, and when Zhang Peilan's mood was almost recovered, she asked her with a faint expression: "What are your plans in the future?"
Zhang Peilan wiped away her tears, stood up straight, and bowed deeply to Zhou Niannian.
"I know it's a bit thin to say thank you, but I still have to say, thank you, Niannian, can I call you that?"
She looked at Zhou Niannian with a worried expression.
Zhou Niannian shrugged, "You've called everything, can I still let you take it back?"
Zhang Peilan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled unnaturally, "Thank you really, I thought I must be finished this time, I thought I might be locked up for the rest of my life, I was scared to death, and I was afraid that Xiao Xin would have no one to take care of." ”
She looked at Zhou Niannian with gratitude on her face, "If you hadn't accepted my commission, I would really ..... You saved our mother and daughter. ”
Zhou Niannian hooked his lips, "If it were someone else, I would do the same, this is my duty, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”
Zhang Peilan shook her head and said seriously: "Even if it's a duty, not everyone will do it, I have written down your kindness." ”
Zhou Niannian didn't say much, "What are your plans in the future?"
Zhang Peilan bit her lip, "I.... I want to take Xiao Xin out of Zezhou and live in a different place, I don't want Xiao Xin to leave a shadow in my heart here, and I'm afraid this place will ......"
She didn't finish speaking, but Zhou Niannian understood that what she wanted to say was that even though she was acquitted, in the eyes of the world, Zhang Dong's death still had nothing to do with her.
What's more, there is Zhang Lixian's family, Zhang Lixian and his family have to run to her from time to time to make trouble, and her life is really unbearable.
So leaving is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Zhou Niannian nodded approvingly, "It's okay to change places, everything starts again." ”
Zhang Peilan took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Well, everything starts again." ”
She didn't go to see Zhang Peilan, but later heard Meng Sanqiu say that Zhang Peilan returned to Mengjiang Village, kowtowed a few times to Meng Sanqiu's family, and left with Xiaoxin that night.
No one knew where she went, and it wasn't until a long time later that she received a letter from Zhang Peilan that she knew that she had worked as a worker in the provincial capital, and had found a man to remarry, and the man treated her and Xiaoxin very well.
Zhang Peilan's case was over, Wu Xuan took the collected materials and followed Yang Jiarui back to Kyoto with a smile, and then Guan Ping and his party also returned to Kyoto.
In this battle, Zezhou's legal counsel fought very beautifully, and it also refreshed the people's understanding of the law.
With the arrival of Guan Ping, everyone in the firm knew the relationship between Zhou Niannian and Guan Ping, and there were more trainee lawyers who came to study with Zhou Niannian for a while.
Gao Zhiyong treated her even more politely, and often came to her to discuss everything, which made Zhou Niannian cry and laugh.
"Director Gao, you are the director, you don't have to ask me everything. She said helplessly to Gao Zhiyong.
Gao Zhiyong smiled and scratched his head, "I always feel that you are Guan Lao's apprentice, and you have more things back than me, so I can only feel at ease when I ask you." ”
Zhou Niannian was speechless, but she still answered all questions about the trainee lawyers who came to consult her, and tried her best to share her knowledge and experience with them.
For a time, the learning atmosphere of the Zezhou Legal Counsel Institute was very strong.
On this day, Li Yuanjia suddenly came to her, and when he saw her, he said in a hurry: "Comrade Xiao Zhou, you must help us this time." ”
Zhou Niannian asked puzzledly: "What's going on?" Don't worry, speak slowly. ”
Li Yuanjia stomped his feet, "I'm so anxious that my mouth is blistering, how can I not be in a hurry, this is a big matter related to our Rainbow Factory." ”
Zhou Niannian was even more confused when he heard it, "Is something happening in the factory?"
