Because Lai Huawen had already greeted Zeng Jingxiang, Bao Feiyang made a phone call to Zeng Jingxiang and made an appointment to meet directly in the First Affiliated Hospital.

Shang Xiaohong's two nephews received lead removal treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital, and in addition to lead discharge, physical recuperation and psychological correction treatment are also very important, and the statistical expenditure is also very considerable.

Shang Xiaohong still has to work and has returned to Tianyuan, her second aunt Liu Cuiyun is taking care of two children in the hospital, the children's parents have not come back, according to Liu Cuiyun, the children need money to see a doctor, and it is useless for them to come back, it is better to earn a little more money outside.

Fortunately, Wu Dongbin, the director of the First Affiliated Hospital, personally came forward and arranged a separate ward for them, where the two children could receive treatment quietly.

Zeng Jingxiang looked only about thirty years old, tall, dignified, and had a hearty smile, he looked at the ward, and said to Bao Feiyang with some surprise: "Mr. Bao, this situation doesn't seem to be right with me, Director Lai said that this is a legal aid case, I didn't expect my client to be able to live in the intensive care ward?"

Zeng Jingxiang's hearty personality made Bao Feiyang very impressed, and he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Lawyer Zeng, you misunderstood, these two children are the nephews of my colleagues, and I helped them contact the ward, and the hospital also waived their hospitalization fees, and this is not a special care ward, I ask you to help them fight lawsuits, not just help them, we can wait for a while to discuss the specific situation." ”

"What are you waiting for, let's start talking now?" Zeng Jingxiang smiled at the two children, but Wang Yun and Wang Feng were still afraid of seeing strangers, so they quickly turned their heads in fright.

Bao Feiyang invited Zeng Jingxiang to the doctor's office on the side, and Zeng Jingxiang looked at the environment: "It seems that Mr. Bao is quite energetic, why do you have to ask a lawyer to help fight the lawsuit?"

Bao Feiyang smiled and asked Zeng Jingxiang to sit down: "Let's introduce myself first." I work for the Northwest Provincial Environmental Protection Department, and I am a small section chief, responsible for environmental monitoring, and this case is also related to my work. ”

Bao Feiyang briefly explained the situation: "Because compensation for pollution damage is a civil dispute, our Ministry of Environmental Protection is only an administrative law enforcement unit, and we have no authority to force Atari to compensate, and Atari does not accept the mediation of our environmental protection department." I have no choice but to use litigation to obtain legal compensation for the villagers. ”

"Are you saying that hundreds of villagers and nearly 100 children in Xigang Village have suffered from blood lead poisoning because of Atari's sewage discharge?" Zeng Jingxiang didn't look like a lawyer at all, and after hearing Bao Feiyang's introduction, he was very excited.

Bao Feiyang nodded, took out a sorted out document from his bag, flipped through a few and handed it over: "Lawyer Zeng, you can take a look." This is some of the materials I asked Dr. Ye Minjie of the University of Medicine to sort out, and these photos are all about the risk of blood lead. ”

Zeng Jingxiang glanced at it a few times, and suddenly stood up with a slap on the table: "Bastard, this is simply murder, dozens of children have been permanently retarded in brain development because of their sewage discharge." It's something that will affect the children for the rest of their lives!"

"Mr. Bao, aren't you from the environmental protection department? Is this Atari discontinued production now? Have you fined it? This behavior is too bad, and it must be severely punished!" Zeng Jingxiang said very excitedly.

Bao Feiyang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. I had to say simply: "We have ordered the factory to stop production and imposed penalties, and now I want you to represent the villagers of Xigang Village to fight against Atari for compensation." ”

"Okay, I've taken this case, and I must sue them for bankruptcy and closure. Zeng Jingxiang sat down, stretched out his hand to Bao Feiyang and said, "Are there any other materials, show me." ”

Bao Feiyang didn't expect the famous Zeng Jingxiang to have such a fiery temper when he was young, he handed over the materials and said at the same time: "Lawyer Zeng, the claim amount in this case may be relatively large. However, the lawyer's fee will certainly not be given according to the usual proportion, and it will only be given to you if you win the lawsuit. ”

Zeng Jingxiang suddenly raised his head and glared at Bao Feiyang, and said very unhappily: "Section Chief Bao." What do you mean by this, don't you mean legal aid, even if you win the lawsuit, can I ask for the money for the treatment of these villagers and the money for saving their lives? You look down on my surname Zeng too much. ”

Bao Feiyang couldn't help but give Zeng Jingxiang a thumbs up: "That's good, lawyer Zeng, but lawyers also spend money to handle cases, and you can't let you pay for it yourself......"

"It's nothing, I'll just take two more debt collection lawsuits to earn back. Zeng Jingxiang waved his hand and said very heartily.

"Haha. Bao Feiyang couldn't help laughing, but he can't completely solve the problem by relying on legal aid alone, lawyers can help vulnerable groups fight lawsuits for free, but you can't ask lawyers to pay out of their own pockets, this is not a long-term solution, and it is easy to make lawyers daunted and awe-inspired.

"Lawyer Zeng, you are studying law, I am thinking that legal aid can solve some of the problems, but it is not appropriate for lawyers to pay out of their own pockets, I will see if I can apply for an aid fund in the department, and if there is a similar need in the future, I will contribute money from the fund to help the people fight lawsuits." ”

"Okay, you have a good idea, it's really not good to let people post money, you will do it in the future, forget it this time. Zeng Jingxiang looked at the information and said without raising his head.

Bao Feiyang said: "Lawyer Zeng, if the aid fund is in place, and no one can do it, can we set up an environmental pollution legal aid center and let some enthusiastic lawyers join in to help people who have been injured by pollution to fight environmental lawsuits?"

"Okay, that's a good idea, I said a long time ago that our country should also have a legal aid center, and everyone is equal before the law, but the common people don't understand the law, and the law has become a toy for the elites. Zeng Jingxiang finally raised his head this time: "Lawyer, I can find my friend, as long as your Environmental Protection Department is willing to do it, I will definitely be able to find someone for you." ”

"By the way, Mr. Bao, listening to what you mean, it seems that there are a lot of cases of this kind of environmental pollution now? I haven't heard a few cases!" Zeng Jingxiang suddenly asked a little strangely.

Bao Feiyang said with a wry smile: "Lawyer Zeng, you also said just now, the law is played by people who understand the law, and those who are harmed by environmental pollution are often vulnerable groups like the villagers of Xigang Village, who have never been exposed to lawsuits in their lives, do not know how to use legal weapons to protect themselves, and they cannot afford lawsuits." ”

"That's right, if you want to fight a lawsuit, you must first pay the acceptance fee and litigation fee, the larger the claim, the higher the litigation fee to pay, if you lose the lawsuit, not only can you not get the money, the litigation fee is a big expense. Zeng Jingxiang said thoughtfully.

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Yes, this is only the legal fee, if there is no legal aid, they still have to hire a lawyer, and the cost is even greater." ”

Zeng Jingxiang waved his hand: "Mr. Bao, you don't need to say it, hurry up and get the aid center up, and we will help them fight the lawsuit for free." ”

Bao Feiyang shook his head: "Lawyer Zeng, I'm afraid that the Environmental Protection Department can't get this center, you know that environmental protection is not liked locally, because it affects investment and industrial ......."

"How can you say that, can we ignore the harm caused by pollution to people for the sake of economic development? What is the point of an Atari company like this, which has an annual output value of hundreds of millions? If the environment is destroyed, it will be difficult to come back, and the children's education will be affected, and it will never be reversed......" Zeng Jingxiang shook the materials in front of him excitedly, and said very indignantly.

Bao Feiyang stretched out his hand to signal Zeng Jingxiang to calm down, he had heard of Zeng Jingxiang's name, but he didn't know much about this person, and he didn't know if his personality would change in the future, or whether he would rely on such a fiery personality to dominate the court.

Bao Feiyang explained: "Lawyer Zeng, I know and agree with what you said, but first I am just a small section-level cadre, nothing is in Xijing, I have no way to change everyone's minds, I think you are a lawyer, you will definitely encounter a lot of similar situations, right?

"Okay, I'll admit you're right, so the Environmental Protection Agency has to take into account the ideas of local governments and other departments, so it can't take the lead in setting up such an environmental pollution legal aid center, or should it rely on the power of the private sector?" Zeng Jingxiang finally calmed down, and also expressed his insight as a lawyer.

Bao Feiyang nodded: "As long as there is action from the people, we can find ways to cooperate and give some support." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to a friend about it when I get back. Zeng Jingxiang said listlessly, he looked at Bao Feiyang deeply, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Bao, you said that your leaders know these things you do, will they squeeze you?" Or your colleagues will know about you, will they exclude you?"

Bao Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, this Zeng Jingxiang was really sharp sometimes, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Lawyer Zeng, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." In fact, Director Xiong is quite supportive of me, and I also want to make the work of the Environmental Protection Agency more effective, but there is no way, there are more voices from all sides, and we can't ignore it. ”

"Cut, you have to listen to any voice, but you can't hear the voice of the people?" Zeng Jingxiang said disdainfully.

Bao Feiyang couldn't help but have a headache: "Lawyer Zeng, I can't see that you are still an angry young man, but let's not talk about this, let's find a way to solve the problem, okay? In short, the provincial department will find a way to give some support, but it can't come forward to organize, and things must be done in a non-governmental way first." ”

"Angry Qing?" Zeng Jingxiang glanced at Bao Feiyang suspiciously, a little unsure of the meaning of this word.
