Teacher Zhou wanted to say something more, but Yang Jiangchao stretched out his hand to stop him. Yang Jiangchao knew that Luo Chenglong was talking about the actual situation, and he also considered him from his point of view. If this case really reaches N City, I am afraid that Zhao Changfeng's connections in F City will not be useful, and then the development of the case will be out of control, and no one can guarantee what kind of result it will become in the end. Rather than taking such a big risk to pursue a result that is difficult to achieve, it is better to let the case end in County F and set a result that is acceptable or barely acceptable to you.

"President Luo, if acquittal is not possible, then what will be the best outcome for our side to work hard?" Yang Jiangchao asked.

President Luo smiled and said, "Director Yang, the court will be held next week, and this week's activities before the court will be very crucial." ”

Speaking of this, President Luo turned his face to Zhao Changfeng and said, "Brother Zhao, what I say below may be very unpleasant. Don't feel bad when you hear it. ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded and said, "President Luo, you just have to say." Anyway, you are also worried about my brother Yang's case, everyone is for one purpose, as long as you can get things done, what does it matter if the words are good or not? ”

President Luo said: "Brother Zhao, Director Yang's case is now at a critical stage. Although you also asked someone to greet the relevant personnel, but these greetings did not work, and we did not have a good score in our hearts. So we must seize the time to take action and increase the intensity of activities. ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "How to increase the intensity of interaction? President Luo, you just have to make it clear, Brother Yang and Teacher Zhou are not outsiders! ”

President Luo said: "Brother Zhao, Director Yang, now that human affection is actually as light as paper, we still need something real to open the way at a critical time. If there is no real thing, then a lot of work may not be done in place, although in the process I feel okay, so-so, but in the end, the result is not necessarily the result we want. ”

"The same is true of Director Yang's case! Even though those people say very well now, we don't know what they will do in the end. If we don't give them some practical benefits, who can guarantee that they will end up with this case as we envisioned? If the result of the first instance of the F County Court comes out, which is the result we expected, then it is okay to say. The result of the first instance of the county court must come out, and it is not the result we expected, so if we go to the activity again, it will be passive! Because at this time, there is no hope of being active in F County, and I can only go to N City to do activities. ”

Zhao Changfeng groaned and did not speak.

Director Yang also understood next to him, so he spoke: "President Luo, how much money does this activity need?" ”

President Luo smiled and said, "It depends on what kind of result Director Yang needs!" Of course, acquittal is certainly possible. ”

When Director Yang was at home during the Chinese New Year, he also got a few law books to study, and he also understood some of the provisions of the law, so he asked tentatively: "The crime of embezzlement of public funds is established, but what about the exemption from criminal punishment?" ”

Exemption from criminal punishment and release in court after a trial may be made, but the actual effect is similar to that of an acquittal, and there is no need to serve a sentence in prison. Therefore, Yang Jiangchao retreated to the next best thing when he knew that acquittal was unavoidable, and wanted to get a crime convicted but exempted from criminal punishment.

President Luo smiled and said, "Director Yang, being exempted from criminal punishment is a lighter sentence, and it is a circumstance that requires a statutory lighter sentence. For example, self-surrender, such as meritorious service plots, and so on. And these circumstances are not available in Director Yang's case. ”

Yang Jiangchao said: "If you have a good attitude of admitting guilt and showing remorse, is it considered a mitigating circumstance?" ”

President Luo said: "This is a discretionary mitigating circumstance, and the decision is up to the judge, whether it can be mitigated or not. Generally speaking, if the charges of embezzlement of public funds, embezzlement and bribery are convicted, and the judge needs to bear a lot of pressure to decide on a lighter exemption from criminal punishment. ”

Yang Jiangchao said: "No matter how much pressure you have, you also need a number, right?" ”

President Luo shook his head and smiled: "Director Yang, I rarely talk to people so directly. If it weren't for Brother Zhao entrusting me this time, I wouldn't have taken this case, let alone sitting down and talking about these things, which is a violation of discipline. ”

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly said: "President Luo, I'm also very embarrassed, I know that I have caused you too much trouble. ”

President Luo sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's it, Brother Zhao, you can find a way to get me this number first, and I'll go and move." Even if you can't get immunity from criminal punishment, it's always okay to get a suspended sentence. ”

Teacher Zhou looked at the five fingers stretched out by President Luo, and said tentatively, "Five thousand? ”

President Luo smiled suddenly, stood up and said, "Brother Zhao, Director Yang, I didn't say what I said just now. ”

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly stood up and stopped President Luo, and begged in the middle of his mouth: "President Luo, what are you doing here?" If you have something to say, why don't you just go! ”

Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou also hurriedly came over and stopped President Luo and pleaded bitterly. I finally pressed President Cai Luo to his seat.

Yang Jiangchao stayed with him for a long time before he spoke: "President Luo, when will the 50,000 yuan be given to you at the latest?" ”

President Luo said: "It will be handed over to me tomorrow at the latest. It's Wednesday today, and the court is going to be going on next Tuesday, so it's very tight. ”

Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou's faces turned pale, the two of them glanced at each other and sat down on the bed.

President Luo raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Brother Zhao, I still have a case in a while, and I want to meet the person concerned." You should discuss with Director Yang first, and you must give me a message before it gets dark tomorrow! ”

Sending President Luo away, Zhao Changfeng returned to the room and saw Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou hugging their heads and crying. Seeing Zhao Changfeng coming back, the two hurriedly separated.

Teacher Zhou wiped away his tears and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Xiao Zhao, time is so tight now, where should we go to make up the 50,000 yuan?" Besides, you know the situation at home, Lao Yang and I spent our salaries on Xiaohui's medical treatment, and we didn't have any savings at all. The only thing worth a little money is that house. But in this hurry, even if you want to sell the house, you can't find a buyer? Besides, even if the house is sold, it will be able to scrape together 30,000 yuan, which is still a big gap from the 50,000 yuan that President Luo said. Xiao Zhao, can you intercede with President Luo, let him delay for two days, let me go back and sell the house, and give him 30,000 yuan first. The remaining 20,000 yuan will be repaid slowly with my salary. You can rest assured that President Luo will return this money even if it takes a long time! ”

Zhao Changfeng sighed and said, "Teacher Zhou, you sold the house, where will you live in the future?" ”

Teacher Zhou said: "I had to go to Xiaohui's grandmother's house to squeeze it." ”

Yang Jiangchao was silently crying on the side, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Gui Zhen, I'm sorry for you and Xiaohui!" Just leave me alone, the court loves to sentence me to a few years, let me die in prison! ”

Teacher Zhou immediately cried and said, "Lao Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? If you are imprisoned, you don't have to wait until you die, Xiaohui and I will go one step ahead of you! ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Changfeng shouted on the side: "Director Yang, Teacher Zhou, it's just time to discuss things, what are you talking about, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhao Changfeng pulled two tissues and handed them to Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou respectively: "Come, wipe your tears, let's talk about things." ”

Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou took the tissue and wiped their tears.

Yang Jiangchao sighed and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Xiao Zhao, no matter what, I thank you for your kindness to our family. I am very happy to be able to let me come out of the detention center to accompany Xiaohui for the New Year. This matter has come to this point, and I'm embarrassed to trouble you anymore. In short, the house at home can't be sold, I'm like this, I have to leave something for you Teacher Zhou and Xiaohui. ”

Teacher Zhou didn't say anything, just hid his face and sobbed on the side.

Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "Director Yang, Teacher Zhou, don't be discouraged!" There is no endless road. Isn't it 50,000 yuan? It's not much of a problem! ”

Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou suddenly had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they immediately looked at Zhao Changfeng without blinking, to see what kind of ideas he would have.

Zhao Changfeng laughed again and said, "Director Yang, Teacher Zhou, why are you looking at me like this?" Don't believe my words? ”

Teacher Zhou said embarrassedly: "No, Xiao Zhao, I just think that 50,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, I don't know if you have any way to solve it!" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Fifty thousand yuan is not a big amount!" There are two ways to solve it. ”

Yang Jiangchao hurriedly asked, "Xiao Zhao, what are the two ways?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "The first way is that I will first give you the 50,000 yuan, and I will lend it to you." When you have money, just give it back to me. ”

"Ah, that's great!" Teacher Zhou exclaimed, then realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhao, that's so embarrassing." You've already done us so much, how can you let you pay these 50,000 yuan again? ”
