Chapter XVII: Witness No. 2

was ridiculed by Xu Xingwen, and Yang Yipu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Xu Xingwen, the king of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Defense lawyer, please pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

Xu Xingwen smiled at Yang Yipu, "My words and deeds have always been above board. Unlike some people, turn the bottom of the bowl after eating. ”

Yang Yipu's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out. At this moment, he was already angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush over in two steps and slap Xu Xingwen's old face seventeen or eight times in a row!

However, he knew very well in his heart that if he did that, not only would he lose the case, but his career would basically be over. It is very likely that the Bar Association will directly cancel its lawyer's qualification. So, he tried to restrain his impulses, lowered his head and sulked.

Xu Xingwen did not continue to verbally stimulate Yang Yipu. His purpose was to combat Yang Yipu's arrogance and make him restrain himself, not really wanting to ruin Yang Yipu's future. After all, there is no personal grudge between him and Yang Yipu.

And the two are both lawyers, and they will inevitably meet again in the future. Next time, maybe it's a partnership. It's too stiff, how can you cooperate in the future?

Xu Xingwen continued to ask Yanmei, "There are a few small questions that need to be asked to Madame." ”

Yanmei still smiled as usual, "Excuse me." ”

Xu Xingwen said: "On the evening of May 16, did this gentleman go to Guanyun Pavilion? ”

Yanmei glanced at Yang Yipu, who was lowering his head, and said, "I'm sorry, he lowered his head, I can't see it clearly, please ask this gentleman to raise his head." ”

Xu Xingwen knew very well that Yanmei was intended to embarrass Yang Yipu. He smiled and nodded, and said to Yang Yipu, "Lawyer Yang, please raise your head." ”

Yang Yipu was even angrier. He raised his head angrily, looked at Yan Mei and said, "You can see clearly now, right?"

Yanmei looked at Yang Yipu seriously, and said to Xu Xingwen: "Now I can see the appearance of this gentleman." That night, this gentleman did come to Guanyun Pavilion. ”

Xu Xingwen asked, "Did he go alone?"

Yanmei shook her head slightly, "No, I went with the other two." One of them is my little brother, Wang Xiaotian. ”

Xu Xingwen asked: "I would like to ask, according to what the two witnesses said just now, at the beginning, you found out that Wang Xiaotian came to Guanyun Pavilion, and you were not angry, but you just said that it is not an example." ”

Yan Mei nodded.

"Why were you so angry later, and asked the waiter to tell this Mr. Yang that Guanyun Pavilion would refuse to receive him in the future?"

Yan Mei thought for a while and said, "First of all, Guanyun Pavilion is not only a business place, but also my home. It is my personal power to host and not to receive whom my home wants. Isn't there a proverb in the old era, 'The wind can enter, the fish can enter, but the king cannot enter'. ”

"Secondly, the services provided by Guanyun Pavilion itself are only for adults. That's why I asked Wang Xiaotian that he wasn't allowed to enter Guanyun Pavilion during business hours until he was an adult. ”

"Third, what will you do one day when you find out that your underage brother has violated the ban and appeared in a place where he shouldn't be?"

Xu Xingwen said without thinking: "I will be very angry and let him leave immediately." ”

Yanmei continued: "What if it wasn't him who took the initiative to come, but another guest invited him to come?"

Xu Xingwen thought for a while and said, "The face of the guest still has to be given." Oh, that's why you said to Wang Xiaotian for the first time, don't take it as an example. ”

Yanmei nodded and continued: "What if the guest doesn't appreciate it, but thinks that he has paid for it, so he makes a big fuss?"

Xu Xingwen frowned and said, "It's really inappropriate for the guest to be so unreasonable." ”

Yan Mei said: "As the host, you will be welcome."

Will such an individual come to the door again?"

Xu Xingwen shook his head and said, "Never welcome." And I will also ask my little brother to break off his friendship with him quickly. ”

The audience listened to the conversation between the two and nodded yes. No one wants the villain to come to the door, let alone the relatives to associate with the villain, this is human nature.

Yang Yipu was furious, stood up sharply, and shouted: "Oppose! ”

Xu Xingwen said: "Plaintiff, if you have a different opinion, please question the witness later when it is your turn to ask." Don't interfere with my inquiry. ”

He Xili nodded, "The plaintiff's objection is invalid, and the defense lawyer can continue to question the second witness." ”

Xu Xingwen bowed his head and continued to ask Yanmei: "Madam, why did you give them a free order in the end?"

Yan Mei asked rhetorically: "If your family brings friends to the house for dinner, will you take the money?"

Xu Xingwen shook his head, "Of course not." ”

Yanmei smiled and nodded, "Me too." ”

Xu Xingwen suddenly realized and said, "As soon as you say this, I will understand." The whole thing is actually divided into three levels. At the first level, your younger brother Wang Xiaotian did not obey your ban and followed his friend to Guanyun Pavilion during business hours. You look at your friend's face, count him down, and let him not make an example. ”

Yan Mei bowed slightly, "That's right." ”

Xu Xingwen continued: "The second level, your brother's friend, that is, this lawyer Yang, is very angry about this, and he has no words, which makes you very unhappy. You just decided, please don't come to Guanyun Pavilion in the future. ”

Yan Mei shook her head slightly, "I haven't decided yet." Later, after watching his performance while watching a cabaret performance, such a decision was made. ”

Xu Xingwen was curious and asked, "What kind of performance did he make for you to make such a decision?"

Yan Mei glanced at Yang Yipu, lightly opened his lips and said, "It's easy to indulge, and there is no ability to resist." ”

The audience was all surprised when they heard this, and they whispered to each other. Yang Yipu recalled his gaffe at that time, and suddenly couldn't raise his head in shame.

Hexley struck the gavel again, "Silence. This answer is ambiguous and can easily mislead the audience into having a bad guess about the plaintiff, so please ask the witness to explain it truthfully. ”

Yan Mei smiled slightly and said, "As we all know, the singing and dancing of Guanyun Pavilion dare not be said to be unique in Xijing City, but it can also be called unique. As the song and dance performance deepened, the audience was all immersed in it. For some viewers with poor self-control, they will even be unable to extricate themselves, crying and laughing, like crazy. For such an audience, we usually warn him not to come to Guanyun Pavilion again to avoid accidents. ”

Xu Xingwen was stunned and asked, "You mean, Lawyer Yang also has this problem?"

Yan Mei said seriously: "In fact, ordinary people basically have problems in this regard. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "So, you rejected them for their sake?"

Yan Mei nodded and said, "Who would refuse the business sent to the door?" However, if these ordinary people often go in and out of Guanyun Pavilion, their consciousness and behavior become abnormal, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Guanyun Pavilion. I did this not only for their sake, but also for the sake of Guanyun Pavilion's reputation. ”

Xu Xingwen nodded and said, "Then, the third level of this matter can be understood." For the sake of Wang Xiaotian's face, he exempted the orders of the three guests. Then, out of consideration for Mr. Yang and the reputation of Guanyun Pavilion, he asked him not to come to Guanyun Pavilion again. Is that so?"

"Yes. ”

Xu Xingwen was very satisfied, and said to He Xili: "Honorable judge, I'm done asking. ”

He Xili nodded, looked at Yang Yipu and said, "Plaintiff, do you have anything to ask the second witness?"

Yang Yipu hurriedly stood up, "Yes."

。 Yes. ”

He Xili said, "Now you can ask." ”

Yang Yipu walked out of his table, but did not go directly to the witness stand, and seemed to be very afraid of Yan Mei. Standing more than a meter away from the witness stand, he asked, "Do you remember what you asked the waiter to tell me at that time?"

Yan Mei nodded, "Yes." ”

"How do you say that?"

Yan Mei said slowly: "Guanyun Pavilion has its own rules, which are not in line with your lawyer's philosophy, please don't come in the future." Is that it?"

Yang Yipu turned around abruptly and said to He Xili: "Honorable judge, listen. Is what she just said consistent with what she and Lawyer Xu said?"

He Xili was displeased and said, "Plaintiff, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." ”

Yang Yipu said: "Honorable judge, the reason why the No. 2 witness just said that he didn't let me go to Guanyun Pavilion is that their rules do not match my lawyer's philosophy!

"She despised not me as a person, but because I was a lawyer! She refused me access to Guanyun Pavilion on the grounds that I was a lawyer, which not only violated my freedom to consume, but also flouted the law!"

Before Yang Yipu's words fell, Xu Xingwen stood up and said righteously: "Plaintiff, please put your position clearly, you can't represent the law!"

He Xili followed closely: "Plaintiff, you are a lawyer, you should understand the importance and solemnity of the testimony, and you must not talk about it. The court is the symbol of the law. ”

Yang Yipu was speechless.

Xu Xingwen immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked Yan Mei: "Mrs. Yunying, what you said to the plaintiff is the consistent attitude of the lawyer?"

Yan Mei shook her head lightly and said, "Of course not." We do not discriminate in any profession, especially judges and lawyers who uphold justice. What we reject are certain people who pull tiger skins as banners and hold chicken feathers as arrows. ”

Xu Xingwen nodded, turned to He Xili and said, "Respected judge, now the matter is very clear. ”

"On the evening of May 16, Guanyun Pavilion did not refuse, and the three plaintiffs went inside to consume. Moreover, for the sake of Wang Xiaotian's face, Mrs. Yunying also gave the three of them free orders. The whole fact is very clear. The plaintiff also agreed. ”

He Xili looked at Yang Yipu and said, "Plaintiff, do you agree with the defense lawyer's summary of the facts?"

Yang Yipu glanced up at Xu Xingwen, lowered his head, and said, "Recognition." ”

Xu Xingwen continued: "The key to the dispute between the plaintiff and the defendant is whether the defendant's waiter told him not to come to Guanyun Pavilion in the future, whether it infringed on the plaintiff's consumer rights. Plaintiff, isn't that so?"

Yang Yipu hung his head and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Xingwen asked Yan Mei: "Mrs. Yunying, do you think you have violated the plaintiff's consumer rights?"

Yan Mei did not answer directly, but said: "Before answering this question, I will tell a story." The owner of a restaurant told diners that although puffer fish is delicious, it is highly poisonous, and there is a half chance that you will die of poisoning if you eat puffer fish. Therefore, the hotel does not serve fugu. ”

However, the diner refused, so he had to ask the restaurant owner to cook him puffer fish. Otherwise, he will sue the restaurant owner for infringing on his consumer rights. May I ask, does the restaurant owner infringe on his consumer rights by not making puffer fish for diners?"

"If, in the court's opinion, the restaurant owner has violated the consumer rights of diners, the restaurant owner must make puffer fish for diners. If a diner dies after eating a puffer fish, is the responsibility on the diner or the restaurant owner? ”

He Xili glanced at Yang Yipu and asked, "Plaintiff, what do you think?"
