Chapter 420: Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai
Is this a good thing? Zhang Ruiming didn't know, he just had an indescribable sense of powerlessness spreading in his heart, he looked up at everything around him, it was so quiet and peaceful, under the warm yellow light, there were a few people who sat on the floor and read at night, these people who chose reason and wisdom made him decide to feel at ease, and at this moment, recalling the fanatical and ignorant faces of Li Suhong and Zhao Zuo in the afternoon, he was suddenly moved by these two isolated worlds, and he didn't know which one was true.
"By the way, did Qiangnong look for you after that week?"
Seeing that Zhang Ruiming hadn't answered for a long time, Zhang Liang changed the topic and asked at this time, but he didn't expect that the minister in front of him suddenly had a moment of coldness in his eyes, and his expression became serious.
"Haven't looked for me...... But I heard some information today, by the way, I would like to ask your joint working group whether you have been in contact with Zhou Qiangnong, do you know that he has had a "medical trouble"?
Seeing Zhang Ruiming say this, Zhang Liang immediately echoed: " Yes, yes, I just want to talk to you about this matter today, and now everyone knows that this investigation of Quanjian is because of the three-year-old girl Xiao Zhouyang, and her father Zhou Qiangnong and uncle Zhou Erli are also on the front line of this incident, if it weren't for their persistent voice and prosecution, Quanjian's illegal facts would not have been exposed so quickly, but our joint working group found that after recently exploring the clues of this series of surrounding situations, the family did not completely tell the truth this week......"
Zhang Liang said as he opened it from the photo album on his mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Ruiming: "Look, this is Zhou Yang's uncle's Weibo record of Tuesday Li, he was the one who introduced Quan Jian to the Zhou family, and he also introduced Xiao Zhou Yang to Shu Yihui, you can take a look at his deleted Weibo record - Zhou's family said that they took Quan Jian's medicine for three months in the first quarter of last year, and said that after the child's condition was not good, he returned to the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin and Hong Kong to continue Western medicine treatment, and never used traditional Chinese medicine again." But judging from Tuesday's Weibo, Zhou Yang has actually been taking traditional Chinese medicine. On Tuesday, Li once complained about the doctors of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin and Hong Kong on Weibo, saying that they were irresponsible, which led to the deterioration of Zhou Yang's condition, and also said that he would expose it and trouble the attending physician. But when he really faced the media, at the most critical time with the lawsuit against Quan Jian, in those interviews, he omitted this past incident, and only said that Zhou Yang's condition suddenly deteriorated because he was taking Quan Jian's medicine......"
Zhang Ruiming took Zhang Liang's mobile phone, roughly flipped through it, and it was really a relevant Weibo background record, now he sorted everything out, it seems that Zhou Qiangnong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, when he sued Quanjian, he avoided talking about the treatment in the First Hospital of Jingang Annex, and when the dust of Quanjian's case over there settled, he let go of his hand again, and through his daughter's tragic story, he found the side of Jingang Affiliated One, and asked the attending physician at that time for an explanation, which led to a scene at the seminar at noon today, the grassroots legal worker named Chen Chen thought that all this was his mastermind behind the scenes, and this made a fuss。
Thinking that he was in full view of everyone at that time, he was stunned by the girl for a while, Zhang Ruiming didn't know what it was like for a while, he had always paid for himself to have a clear conscience, but now people are not sages, where can they never make mistakes, and where can they easily see through the hearts of others.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruiming sighed, and told Zhang Liang about the attending physician of Xiao Zhouyang in Chen Chen's mouth at the conference this afternoon, Dr. Xiao Wang, and the girl who said it couldn't help but be angry.
"I knew that this week's family is not a good person! This is too much, while looking for the trouble of Quanjian's side of the Chinese medicine, after this side is done, he immediately went to find the trouble of the attending physician of other hospitals, and also used his daughter's experience to sell hardships, and a good doctor in the whole family turned out to be out of work...... Hmph, having said that, this family is also lucky, now I heard that the appeal of the second instance has reached the Intermediate Court, and the Intermediate Court seems to have held a special meeting, it is estimated that it should be through this wave of public opinion, it should be remanded for retrial, speaking of which, if the opponent is not Quan Jian, the Zhou family basically has no intention of winning the lawsuit. But sometimes I really have to admit that their operation is still very good, and they have really turned them over......"
When Zhang Liang said this, she recalled that her master was the biggest promoter in it, she took care of Zhang Ruiming's feelings, peeked at it, and saw Zhang Ruiming's expression as usual, so she continued to complain with confidence: "Our working group has also contacted the First Affiliated Hospital, and I only know that the family has asked them for trouble with the hospital this week, but I didn't expect that the intern doctor would terminate the contract...... You see, why don't we go back and do the work, let the hospital think about it, or do we want to take back our lives? ”
Zhang Liang's indignant appearance made Zhang Ruiming a little helpless, although he was scolded by Chen Chen at noon, he couldn't blame Zhou Qiangnong's family, in his opinion, this was a more terrifying scene: all this is a ring of Uroboros...... It is a tragedy from deceiving each other, hurting each other, and no one can escape. Just like "Uroboros", the totem of Western alchemy - Ouroboros, these people at the bottom of society, who have no chance of self-redemption, have never had choices and opportunities in their lives, no resources, no money, no education, no knowledge, and countless traps to harvest them are in front of them, Quanjian is a life-saving straw in their eyes, but in fact, it is the same as those "advertising machine", "buying code", "Yajie" And so on and so on, all of them are aimed at the money they rely on to survive, and Shu Yihui himself, a rural old man who has been arrested and sentenced, has become a Jin who squandered hundreds of millions of banknotes and returned to his hometown by helicopter
Melting giant crocodile, Shu Yihui is also using his own experience to explain a cruel truth: in this endless quagmire at the bottom, only by stepping on other people's shoulders and devouring other people's lives can it be possible to fight a bloody way.
And he himself was extremely accidental, a little girl who had died a long time ago, and was tripped by a nourished blood and bone that he had devoured, and actually became the source of the collapse of his health supplement empire.
Zhang Ruiming suddenly wanted to drink a glass of wine, but there was only this glass of American style in front of him, he took a sip and said to Zhang Liang: "Let the hospital withdraw the punishment? What is the reason? What is the situation now? I am not against it, but I feel that there is little hope, of course, you can also try." ”
Hearing Zhang Ruiming say this, Zhang Liang herself felt that it was not very reliable, she hesitated twice, and stopped talking, Zhang Ruiming suddenly felt a little emotional, he suddenly looked at the cover of the book "Toad's Oil" in his hand, on which was an extremely atypical portrait of Akira Kurosawa's extremely atypical Japanese.
"Have you seen Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai?"
Zhang Liang shook her head, she didn't know why Zhang Ruiming suddenly mentioned this movie, pointed to the book in Zhang Ruiming's hand and said strangely: "Is it this person's movie? Is it a recent movie?"
Zhang Ruiming stared at the deep eyes of Akira Kurosawa on the cover, as if he was facing Zhang Liang, and as if he was not saying to anyone: "That movie is about several down-and-out samurai who are hired by a group of poor farmers who can't eat enough to defend themselves against bandits, and it starts with ...... Forget it, let's talk about it directly, in short, before the gang of bandits was exterminated by the samurai, the peasants served the samurai as their own fathers, and divided half of their rations, but after the bandits were exterminated, the peasants immediately regarded the samurai as silverfish and nasty ghosts, they only cared about their land and crops, and you samurai only had to leave their villages. At the end, the peasants were so busy that they didn't even glance at the samurai, even though four noble samurai had died protecting the villagers. The remaining three samurai felt a deep sense of loss because of this, especially when they no longer despised the peasants so much in their hearts, and even wished to become friends with these peasants, but they tasted the familiar taste of being abandoned, except that this time it was no longer the daimyo or the rich man who abandoned them, but the peasant ......"
Listening to Zhang Ruiming's cautiousness, Zhang Liang didn't make a sound for a while, and after half a sound, she asked, "...... Oh, what does that have to do with this case......"
Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly and said: "I gave this example to mention the passage about the low-level peasants, I think it is very meaningful, in which Kikujiro said a line, he reprimanded those naïve young bushido who only regarded the peasants as weak-
What do you treat peasants for?
Do you think it's a bodhisattva?
It's a joke, the peasants are the most cunning, they don't give rice if they want rice, and they say they don't have wheat if they want it.
Actually, they have it all, everything!
If you lift the floor and look at the storage room, you will definitely find a lot of things.
Rice, salt, beans, wine... Go deep into the valley and see hidden rice fields.
Loyal on the surface but the most lying, they will lie no matter what!
As soon as there is a battle, they will kill the remnants and grab weapons......
Listen, the so-called peasants are the most stingy, the most cunning, the most cowardly, the bad-hearted, the imbecile, the murderers!"
Zhang Ruiming's eyes were hideous when he said this, and he gritted his teeth, so that Zhang Liang could fully imagine the flaming look of the warrior in the movie for a while, she was also a little touched at this time, she picked up the cute teacup in her hand, and took a sip of the milk tea in front of her, and suddenly had some doubts, but she wanted to say it but was afraid of making Zhang Ruiming unhappy, and she was entangled for a while, and then she said with a little hesitation in her eyes: "Minister, you say this, I want to go back to watch this movie, but ...... I still don't agree with your statement, although Zhou Qiangnong's behavior of "medical trouble" is a bit excessive, but he is still a victim after all! His daughter's condition deteriorated because of these unscrupulous black-hearted health care product companies, I think he is no matter what...... It's not a "murderer", is it...... I think it's better to find out who made them "treacherous" than to condemn victims like him......"
When Zhang Liang said this, she first secretly glanced at Zhang Ruiming's expression, and saw that the top boss did not have much change in expression before she said this fearfully.
Seeing Zhang Liang's tone of fear of offending herself, knowing that she had been holding back her question for a long time before she said it, Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly and replied: "I haven't finished yet, there is a following paragraph in this line about farmers, and at that time, Kurosawa Akira answered your question through the mouth of this Kikujiro......
But... Who made them like this?
It's you, it's you warriors,
You're all going to die!
Burning villages, ravaging fields, indulging in labor, humiliating women, killing those who resist,
What do you call a farmer?
What should they do?!"
As soon as these words were finished, Zhang Liang was speechless, although she hadn't seen the movie, but just through a few simple lines, she both
You can feel the deep spiritual core of this film master. Yes, all this is a cycle, the sufferers at the bottom have lost everything because of these struggles and deceptions at the top, and they have also been forced to let go of their morality and pick up bamboo guns, and they have also learned how to deceive, to frame, to ask for a little resources to survive.
Just like in the case of Quanjian, Shu Yihui's health care products made Xiao Zhouyang's condition worse, causing the little girl to lose her precious life, and the Zhou family also learned to deceive and fight in the process of fighting back against Quanjian, they not only dealt with Quanjian, but in the end, for the sake of interests, they also involved the innocent Jingang First Affiliated Hospital, and dragged the more innocent attending physician Xiao Wang into the quagmire through "medical trouble".
And Shu Yihui at the beginning, if he didn't take this road, he was a barefoot doctor in the countryside, what chance did he have of success?
All of this is a cycle of mutual harm to everyone, but when everyone stands in Zhou Qiangnong's position and Shu Yihui's position, who can ask themselves if they can do better than them?
The clock ticked behind the two, and there was silence between the two, Zhang Ruiming looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, he looked up and drank the coffee in front of him, and said to Zhang Liang: "Do you know who else I met in the afternoon?"
Zhang Liang shook his head, and Zhang Ruiming asked himself: "I went to see Zhao Zuo in the afternoon, it was the famous Zhao Zuo, and this case started from him at the beginning." ”
"Zhao Zuo?!The Zhao Zuo in the Intermediate Court is the famous Zhao Zuo~?"
Zhang Ruiming nodded, he roughly told Zhang Liang about Zhao Zuocong's experience after he was released from prison, and said that the old man was deceived of all the state compensation, and after finally rescuing his wife, he was now deeply involved in pyramid schemes, Zhang Liang couldn't stand it, gritted his teeth and scolded "deserved"!
Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly, he looked up at the void, and said with emotion: "Do you think I'm a little abnormal today?"
Seeing that the minister actually realized this himself, Zhang Liang almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and quickly nodded: "Mmmm~ It's a little abnormal, boss, you don't usually talk so much." ”
Zhang Ruiming's eyes were still on the lampstand of this 24-hour bookstore, his eyes were out of focus, and he looked as if he didn't see anything in his eyes.
"I saw a scene in the afternoon that made me ...... Do you know that feeling? It's the feeling of being suddenly deeply touched, and all of a sudden I feel that nothing is interesting, that everything is powerless...... It's the feeling of seeing through the hardships of life......"
The young and beautiful female prosecutor nodded as if she didn't understand, although she didn't know what scene made herself, a leader who had handled too many big cases and had come into contact with too many sinister people, feel so emotional, but what she could do at this time was of course to cooperate with him and let Zhang Ruiming vent well.
"I'll start at the beginning...... I have known that Zhao Zuo for half a year, plus I have read various reports and various study documents before, I am not unfamiliar with that face, but my deepest impression of him is the last time we met today, you think about it, in his life, he lost to the lawsuit in the first fifty years, but after he came out, he lost to the society......"
Zhang Liang listened quietly, Zhang Ruiming said slowly: "He could have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he has been out of touch with society, he is like a primitive tribe who has just come out of the quarantine place, he doesn't understand anything, and everything around him is harmful to him, it is full of invisible and visible "viruses", he doesn't have any "antibodies", his relatives, children, and wives around him have all pulled him into the quagmire. Financial lending, pyramid schemes, health care products, these traps and scams are coming one after another......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly and said, "...... Fortunately, he has never read a book or been exposed to the Internet, otherwise there are still so many financial products, this coin, and that currency waiting for him. If it weren't for these media and the Municipal Intermediate People's Court to save him again and again. To be honest, his life is probably over......"
Zhang Ruiming paused for a moment, his eyes slowly became a little red, Zhang Liang knew that he was about to get to the point.
"And over the years, what I remember him the most and feel the most is the scene when he listened to the "Wealth Plan" course this afternoon, when the lecturer of the den was standing on the stage, and below were dozens of faces like Zhao Zuo - numb, sluggish, with the illusion of getting rich overnight, but he didn't know what to do, just fell into the abyss over and over again...... And the lecturer was banging the blackboard in front of the stupid faces of the crowd, and yelling at them in a deafening voice, as if they were sinners being disciplined......
"What did you yell at them then?" Zhang Liang asked in a daze.
Zhang Ruiming puffed up his chest and imitated the tone of the lecturer at that time: "Have you ever asked yourself when you will be able to participate in the distribution of wealth in the upper class after working hard every day? Why is this because of your stupidity, timidity, and lack of progress!"
After saying this, both of them fell silent for a while.
And after a long silence, Zhang Ruiming finally stood up and asked with tears in his eyes: "Why? Why? Why is it so difficult to live this life?"
