"That ......" Zhou Qiangnong's voice trembled, obviously starting to be afraid, but Zhang Ruiming's tone was unexpectedly determined: "I know you will hesitate, and I can't guarantee that it will be successful this time...... But, either way, this is our last chance. ”

Zhang Ruiming looked at Zhou Qiangnong's eyes fixedly: "This is also the only choice." ”

Hearing this, after repeatedly confirming that what Zhang Ruiming said was not a lie, Zhou Qiangnong held his head in pain, he actually had a bottom line in his heart, in his opinion, this time for his daughter to stand up for the rights of his daughter, the consequences that should be paid have been paid as early as the day Xiao Zhouyang passed away, he didn't expect his rights protection action to come to this point, he actually had to bet everything on the gambling table, which was unbearable for him.

Seeing Zhou Qiangnong in such pain, Zhang Ruiming patted him on the shoulder and tried to comfort: "Actually, don't worry too much, in fact, the most critical steps, Tang Zuo and I have already done for you." ”

Hearing that Zhang Ruiming actually mentioned the name of Tang Zuo who had just thrown out the door at this time, Zhou Qiangnong was puzzled: "Zhang Jian, didn't you say that the person surnamed Tang is not a good person......?" Why would he still help me?"

Zhang Ruiming smiled: "This "help" means that his behavior will help us, not that he is sincere, if I guess correctly, later today, he should find you, and then ask me what the plan is with you......"

"Zhang Jian, don't worry, I will never tell him......"

Zhou Qiangnong was anxious to show his loyalty to the last reliance in front of him, but he was stopped by Zhang Ruiming.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I just want you to tell him what we discussed today, and let Tang Zuo know that we are going to use the tax perspective as an entry point to report the multiple tax violations involved in Quanjian and bring them down. ”

"Oh, I see, Zhang Jian, do you mean that so that Quanjian and their leaders will know, and then they will start to retaliate like you said?"

"Yes, that's it, so you have to tell Tang Zuo what I told you then, and let him be our "microphone", provoke Shu Yihui and them, and wait for them to show their flaws. ”

Although Zhou Qiangnong was apprehensive, he still habitually nodded obediently at this time, and after a few moments, he suddenly thought of a key question, his eyebrows were tangled, and he said worriedly: "But...... Zhang Jian, as you said, since this Quanjian has already taken precautions on tax issues, we mention this at this time...... Can it work? Like you said, we don't have any clues that would make them feel threatened or provoke them. I'm a farmer, even if I have your advice, will they be afraid? This doesn't seem very reliable when you think about it. ”

Seeing that Zhou Qiangnong finally began to think independently, Zhang Ruiming nodded slightly, with an approving look on his face: "Yes, what you said is indeed very reasonable, Shu Yihui's family is wealthy, and he threatens his people and opponents every day, so he doesn't know where to line up, why are you a peasant man who doesn't know anything, clamoring to check his accounts, he will be afraid?"

"Really...... Look, it still doesn't work......"

The smile on Zhang Ruiming's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry, I have already thought of what you are worried about, and I have also prepared a few clues for you, whether it is a report or with Tang Zuo, you can just tell the truth, although this is just a little direction without evidence, but it is enough to provoke Shu Yihui......"

"Ah......h

Hearing that Zhang Ruiming had reserved clues at this time, Zhou Qiangnong couldn't tell whether it was the nervousness of "it is impossible to escape death" or the decision of "there will be a battle", after hesitating for a few seconds, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, sighed and said: "Okay, please tell me Zhang Jian."

"First of all, think about what Shu Yihui, chairman of Quanjian, likes to show off the most? Then you go and see what is in the first row of the titles printed on his business card. ”

"I haven't paid attention to this yet......"

Zhou Qiangnong said while turning out the business card that Quanjian gave him after the last settlement negotiation, he flipped through it for a long time, only to find that what Chen Junyan gave him at that time was just a contact information of Quanjian's public relations department, in the final analysis, none of his struggles could make Shu Yihui pay attention to him.

Zhang Ruiming saw his embarrassment, and handed over the gold-plated business card of Shu Yihui in his hand, and Zhou Qiangnong took it and saw a huge line of words at first glance, Counselor of the China Charity Federation of Trade Unions.

"It's ......"

Zhang Ruiming didn't sell it, and went straight to the bottom of the mystery and said: "Charity, this is Shu Yihui's favorite thing to show off, do you know, our country's charity is tax-deductible, it is one of the few tax-exempt items, and it is also the largest amount...... According to my experience in handling cases in the past, generally such a fanfare is fake. ”

Zhang Jian ...... You mean Quanjian has a tax problem with their charitable donations?"

Zhang Ruiming sighed and said: "It stands to reason that as a legal person, I shouldn't talk about these things that are not confirmed by evidence, but this case is extraordinary...... I can only say that large domestic enterprises, especially direct sales giants like this, avoid taxes through charitable donations and other means. Tax evasion can already be said to be the consensus in the industry, and now although we have no evidence, it is impossible to really start the investigation, but if you want to release the news to Tang Zuo, just say that we have mastered the illegal tax avoidance operation of Quanjian in charity, hum, this Quanjian must be a thief, and then their first reaction is to self-investigate and self-doubt, plus I have released the news in the name of the city inspection, I believe that this is enough to stimulate these shameless people. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qiangnong was considered to have thrown himself to the ground for the five-body admiration of the man in front of him, Zhang Ruiming had almost prepared and planned for the possible situation, which made him retreat again. Zhou Qiangnong nodded, and Zhang Ruiming made a detailed plan on how to introduce Tang Zuo into the urn, chatting until dark, and finally Zhou Qiangnong got up and prepared to leave.

In the end, it was Zhang Ruiming who stopped him behind his back and solemnly asked the father, who had always appeared as a victim in this incident, the last question.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, I will confirm with you at the end, you have to answer me sincerely, this will involve the final realization of our plan, you must tell me carefully. ”

Zhou Qiangnong was a little nervous by Zhang Ruiming's grim expression, but he quickly nodded and agreed: "Of course, Zhang Jian, you just say it." ”

At this time, Zhou Qiangnong's slightly numb but sincere eyes reminded Zhang Ruiming of the scene when he first met him in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jingang, when this lost father came over, his face was like this, and he only felt simple and reliable, just like those stereotypical tool people who appeared in old movies before, even if the peasants were hardworking and simple, the puppet army was obscene and treacherous, and the positive character was Wei Guangzheng, everyone's psychology and character were engraved on their faces, and everyone could look at the end at a glance, and everyone put the label on their faces。

And now, Zhou Qiangnong has the label he has been sticking to all his life, he is an honest and simple victim, he is honest, reliable, and will never betray others.

But Zhang Ruiming knows that these are unreliable, he has seen too many parties who are just "people at the time", and Zhou Qiangnong only betrayed him once not long ago, looking at people with a suspicious background, this is already Zhang Ruiming's professional habit as a prosecutor with ten years of public prosecution experience, and it is also his life creed.

"Lao Zhou, I just want to ask you, so far, about Xiao Zhouyang's matter, do you have anything missing? Is there anything that has not been told to us? This is very important, you know, we are not deliberately going to lose your civil lawsuit now, we are angry with Quanjian Group, to deliberately make them panic, but also for them to make mistakes and expose flaws under this kind of excitement, you yourself know, the case decided in the first instance, the second instance will be difficult to overturn. Especially in civil tort cases like yours. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the overall situation or from your own interests, I hope that you can completely explain to me and say anything, because according to our plan, as long as Quan Jian's side files a counterclaim, or if there is any stupid move, then we have a chance to reverse the situation, and this "situation" also includes the victory or defeat of your case. Therefore, I hope that you will say whatever you have and never hide it from me. ”

Zhang Ruiming's concern does have his reasons, and generally experienced criminal lawyers and prosecutors understand a truth: people are an innate good at shirking responsibility, and almost all parties will conceal key details when their lawyers communicate for the first time, and will reduce their own responsibilities and increase the responsibilities of the other party in the narrative. For example, in rape and indecent assault cases, those parties who claim to "just touched it", "didn't go in at all" and so on, it is likely that the prosecution has already completed the sperm spot examination and identification report, but they are still deceiving their defense lawyers, resulting in a misjudgment of the litigation strategy, and ultimately leading to the defeat of the entire case.

And Zhang Ruiming is also worried about this at this time, judging from the current Zhou Qiangnong's narrative, the evidence about Quanjian Group's infringement of Xiao Zhouyang's reputation rights and portrait rights is still very insufficient, and Tang Zuo is an undercover agent sent by Quanjian, and he has been deliberately inactive in the debate, resulting in the Zhou family has been at a disadvantage, in this case, Zhang Ruiming is worried that the other party will play a "evidence raid" at a critical time , In case Zhou Qiangnong has anything to hide, it will be a fatal blow to his plan, not only will Zhou Qiangnong quickly lose this civil lawsuit, but Zhang Ruiming's opportunity to overthrow Quan Jian will also disappear completely.

"Zhang Jian, I've said everything I should have said...... Don't worry, I have nothing to hide from you. ”

Zhou Qiangnong almost didn't hesitate, he immediately patted his chest to Zhang Ruiming and assured him, Zhang Ruiming nodded, and faintly felt that something was still not quite right, but he was not Zhou Qiangnong's lawyer after all, and he couldn't continue to pursue it because of his identity, and after a final reminder, he waved goodbye to Zhou Qiangnong.

Sending away his "client", Zhang Ruiming suddenly "collapsed" on the office chair like deflated, he sighed that he had finally made all the arrangements before the war, whether it was planning, recruitment, counter-intervention, training, he had done everything he could in the biggest case he had faced in his life. The dice have already begun to turn, and the next thing is to wait for the results of this fateful table to see how the next big scene will end.

…………

The result came earlier than Zhang Ruiming expected, and there were still two days before the second trial of Zhou Qiangnong's civil lawsuit against Quanjian Group for infringement.

He touched his phone in a daze, and the first words of the other party made him instantly sleepy.

"Zhang Zhen, what should I do! The other party has filed a lawsuit against me! They have threatened me! They want me to pay money!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Qiangnong's voice looked like a frightened old horse, almost crying to say these words, Zhang Ruiming could imagine how the middle-aged man was panicked on the other end of the phone.

"......Counterclaim? What did the other side tell you? What did they sue you? The court didn't accept it, right?"

Zhang Ruiming suddenly came to his senses. This was the result he expected, and the "counterclaim" is an independent counterclaim against the lawsuit in civil litigation, which needs to be filed with the people's court accepting the lawsuit, and cannot violate the relevant jurisdictional provisions. In essence, it is an important embodiment of the principle of equal legal status of the parties, an important right enjoyed by the defendant in this lawsuit, and an important system to protect the civil rights and interests of the defendant in this lawsuit.

To put it bluntly, it is explained in popular terms, that is, "Since you dare to sue me, then I will sue you too!"

And Quanjian Group will be angry because of the information deliberately leaked by Zhang Ruiming and Zhou Qiangnong before and file a counterclaim against the Zhou family, which itself is in Zhang Ruiming's expectation, but the conditions for the establishment of a counterclaim are quite harsh, and in Zhang Ruiming's years, it is rare to see the counterclaim being accepted by the court. This is because there are several conditions for a counterclaim:

(1) The lawsuit is in progress, and a counterclaim is filed before the end of the courtroom debate.

(2) The counterclaim does not fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of other courts, and if the counterclaim falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of other courts, the court hearing the lawsuit shall not join the trial with the lawsuit because it has no jurisdiction.

(3) The counterclaim may be subject to the same procedures as the present claim.

(4) The counterclaim is incompatible with the present claim or the precedent issue of one of the claims being the other.

(5) The defendant shall file a counterclaim against the plaintiff in the lawsuit.

In the case of the Zhou family against Quan Jian, there is a key condition that should not be satisfied, that is, "(4) the prerequisites for the incompatibility of the counterclaim and the present claim, or for one of the claims to be the other." According to the known information, Zhang Ruiming can see that the Zhou family's claim against Quanjian Group is to stop the infringement and compensate and apologize, and if Quanjian wants to succeed in its counterclaim, then it must have a request that is incompatible with the present claim, or a prerequisite issue of the present claim.

In human terms, if one party sues the other party for assault, then if the defendant wants to file a counterclaim, then the request for the counterclaim can only be "I didn't hit him, in fact he hit me", or "I didn't hit him at all, at that time, he was already hiccuping, and I asked for confirmation of the time of his death certificate at that time" and so on. Returning to this civil case, from Zhang Ruiming's point of view, the Zhou family and Quan Jian are simply one party infringing on the other, how can one of the above two situations occur?

The revenge of Quan Jian that he gambled on is more about hoping that Quan Jian will threaten Zhou Qiangnong here, hire a public relations company to deliberately stigmatize Xiao Zhou Yang, etc., it is best to do it directly to Zhou Qiangnong, just like what he did to himself not long ago. But what Zhang Ruiming didn't expect was that Quan Jian would choose a legal method like "counterclaim" to deal with his killer move, which was completely unexpected to him.

A giant enterprise like Quanjian actually wants to fight to the death with Zhou Qiangnong in court!?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute......"

"What should I do!!What should I do?!Where do I have any money!!Will they let me go to jail!?I won't go to jail!?"

Zhang Ruiming wanted to ask Zhou Qiangnong about the current situation so that he could clear his thoughts, but this crop man was already frightened, and Zhang Ruiming could imagine how he looked lost on the other end of the phone.

"Calm down!

After a loud shout, the other end of the phone finally calmed down a bit, and Zhou Qiangnong quieted down and listened to the next instructions of the "savior".

"Tell me first, is this a warning from his side, or is it a notice from the court? This is very important, and we must find out, the nature is completely different. ”

Zhang Ruiming is worried that if the court has agreed to Quan Jian's counterclaim, then this matter will be troublesome, and if Zhou Qiangnong is just threatened by Quan Jian's side and claims to file a counterclaim, it means that the other party has no recruitment, but it is a good thing.

Moreover, Zhang Ruiming believes that it should be the former, after all, Quan Jian has no reason to file a counterclaim.

Zhang Jian ...... I don't really understand, but today, after Quanjian's vice president surnamed Chen notified me of the threat, the court really made a phone call and informed me that the other party had filed a counterclaim, why would the court try it or something, and said that there would be a formal document to notify me, I don't understand, Zhang Jian, why is it so difficult for us honest people to defend their rights! Why is this!?"
