Chapter V: After the Adjournment

In fact, Meng Fan's father was also temporarily present, Qin Xiao recognized it and said it again, only then did Gurney Su Xiaoman and Luo Chuan explain that in fact, the Zhang family and Qin Xiao did not know about this in advance, and at this time it was Su Xiaoman's turn to present the source and purpose of the witness's confession, etc., only to hear Xiaoman say:

"This Liao Yun is the younger brother of Liao Kai, an apprentice of the Qin family more than 20 years ago, and the case file of that year can be consulted, and the specific process is that during Liao Kai's apprenticeship, he tried to steal the secret recipe of the Qin family, and he was poisoned and died. However, his younger brother Liao Yun was told the details of the secret recipe when his brother Liao Kai was alive, so Liao Yun's testimony can fully prove that the Qin family used both internal and external methods at that time, that is to say, the invention right of this recipe was not owned by the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was not a professional in traditional Chinese medicine in the era, but only engaged in the trade of medicinal materials, so objectively did not have the ability to invent prescriptions. In addition, regarding Uncle Meng's confession, we have just learned that he voluntarily appeared in court to testify, which I believe the presiding judge has just known. Presumably, these patients of the Qin family knew that this prescription, especially the foreign prescription, was actually an ancient prescription, and as long as the composition was known, everyone could use it, which also further proved the invalidity of the Zhang family's foreign patent. ”

The Zhang family immediately raised questions, asked for cross-examination, and questioned the defendant in person on relevant issues, and the presiding judge agreed. Zhang Zhengguo's lawyer stood up and said:

"The testimony of the two witnesses of the defense, in a basic sense, can only prove that the foreign party was indeed using the Zhang family and the Qin family at that time, but it cannot prove the invalidity of the patent. I mean, it's possible that my agent and the other party had a colleague who knew the recipe for the secret recipe, and this is not out of the question. If this is the case, it means that both parties have the opportunity to apply for a patent, but my attorney made the decision to apply for a patent one step earlier, then the patent will be protected by law, and there is no such thing as a patent invalidity. It's like Newton and Leibniz inventing calculus at the same time. There are even historical sources that prove that Newton's calculus was created much later. Leibniz had already mentioned it in an obscure paper, but in the end, the Royal Academy of Sciences gave Newton the founder of calculus. From this point of view, it can be seen that the two families knew this secret recipe at about the same time. But my attorney applied for the patent first, and naturally the patent right was in the hands of my attorney. ”

The lawyer of the Zhang Family Group, who was wearing glasses, spoke eloquently at this time, and then he asked:

The defense kept saying that this Qiling Huasan was an ancient recipe from the former Qing Dynasty, but it only found witnesses from more than 20 years ago to testify. It is not enough to prove the authenticity of this ancient pre-Qing prescription, and from the testimony of these two witnesses alone, it can only be proved that both of them had the ability to produce foreign prescriptions at that time. I ask how the defence proves this. ”

Su Xiaoman got up and replied: "Forgive me for not saying it completely when I presented the evidence just now, just now it was just two witnesses, and my agent's partner Qin Xiao was the descendant of the Qin family at that time, and he had a genealogy that completely recorded the origin of this Seven Spirits Flower Scattering." Part of the genealogy is written by Qin Xiao's grandfather, Qin Zhihong, which details the origin of the Seven Spirits Flowers: Qin Zhihong rattled the bell to help the world back then. When he was in Beijing, he encountered the Eight-Nation Alliance to attack the capital, so he hid in a pharmacy near Dashilar in the capital, because the foreign soldiers were arresting the Boxers everywhere, Qin Zhihong was afraid of being caught, so he hid here as a medical practitioner, and happened to meet a British lieutenant, Qin Zhihong in order to prove that he was a practitioner of medicine, he gave him acupuncture treatment, and the foreigner was grateful for the illness and gave him a secret recipe that he snatched from the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City. From this point of view. Qin Zhihong can be regarded as a person who made contributions to the protection of national treasures, and after the Qing court fell, Qin Zhihong made a fortune in this way. It is impossible to prove this point just now, but in terms of time. It is true that there are no living witnesses who can prove that this recipe was preserved in the previous Qing Dynasty, but this genealogy has become a strong piece of evidence. -- This is also the evidence that I am about to fight, and since I have presented cross-examination against the counter-first, it is not too late for me to show it now. ”

As he spoke, the staff took out the Qin family tree. At this time, the audience and the jury couldn't help but be a little surprised, they didn't expect this recipe to have such a strange and bizarre origin.

Su Xiaoman continued: "The genealogy records almost all the seven spirit flowers scattered, and many things, in fact, the Zhang family also knows, and there are records in it. ”

Zhang Zhengguo's lawyer immediately asked:

"Although this genealogy can be proven, the validity of the genealogy itself needs to be confirmed, and with such a piece of physical evidence that cannot speak, I feel that it is not enough to prove the authenticity of the ancient statement of the other party."

The focus of the confrontation between the two sides in the court is now very clear, that is, the question of whether the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter is the ancient prescription of the former Qing Dynasty, if this is established, then it is enough to show the legitimacy of Qin Xiao's manufacturing of foreign parties, if it cannot be fully proved, then this also means that Qin Xiao lost the lawsuit. At this time, the presiding judge announced that because the evidence needed to be inspected and verified in court, and the actual circumstances of other cases involved also needed to be checked and verified, the presiding judge announced an adjournment and postponed the trial.

After coming back, Luo Chuan asked Su Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, what do you think of the trend of this trial?" Just tell the truth. ”

Su Xiaoman sighed and said: "In general, the two sides have a fifty percent advantage, but in terms of trend, I think the Zhang family is more legal, after all, lawsuits are not commonplace, and it makes sense that he said that the ancient prescription of the former Qing Dynasty cannot be verified, but from the point of view of Qin Xiao's genealogy, there is some insufficient evidence." ”

Luo Chuan said: "Insufficient evidence? How can such a genealogy be said to be insufficiently proven? ”

Su Xiaoman said: "This point can be said to be a forgery, of course he won't say it directly, otherwise their Zhang family needs to show evidence, but the 'insufficient' point alone is already very revealing, and he Zhang family directly overturned it with evidence." In the final analysis, the Qin family's way of obtaining this secret recipe has not been disclosed to the world, so it is believed that the Zhang family has a gap. ”

Qin Xiao said: "Xiaoman, thank you this time, so what should we do next?" ”

Xiao Man said: "First, we have to continue to look for more reliable evidence to prove that this is the ancient recipe of the former Qing Dynasty, you have to think about this Qin Xiao, because your Qin family has the most right to speak, and you also know the situation best, our team does not understand the recipe itself, not to mention the evidence that there is zài in the former Qing Dynasty; Second, there are too many episodes recorded in your genealogy, and you can start with these episodes, especially the person recorded in it, who is still alive now, if there is, then it is the best, if he can testify in court, we basically have a chance of winning this case. ”

At this time, when Qin Xiao heard Su Xiaoman's words, she couldn't help but admire her sharp and clear thinking, and thought to herself, it is really commendable for a girl to do this. But Qin Xiao was just about to speak, when he heard a voice coming from outside:

"Xiaoman, you really forgot your best friend for your lover!"

Qin Xiao and everyone knew that it was Ma Xiaoxi as soon as they heard it, so Qin Xiao put on a relaxed attitude and said: "Ma Xiaoxi, I sue you, what you said is not right, Xiaoman is sticking a knife in the ribs for me and Luo Chuan, you are good, study the genome with the platoon commander all day long, Luo Chuan, you may not believe it, he will ...... after knowing Liu Dongsheng for a week."

Ma Xiaoxi picked up the bag and said, "Qin Xiao, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I killed you!" ”

Luo Chuan heard this half-sentence. I understood everything, laughed, imitated the tone of this popular comedy star and said: "Tut-tut, it's not easy to know such a platoon leader for a week!" ”

Everyone also laughed and forbade Luo Chuan's office and sat down, Ma Xiaoxi said: "Xiaoman, it is estimated that your parents will definitely know that you are back this time, you can see what to do, I will not panic for you when the time comes." ”

Su Xiaoman said: "Are my parents looking for you? ”

Ma Xiaoxi said: "Yes, I heard that you are the lawyer of Luochuan Company, they want you to go back, I think your father doesn't care about the previous things now, it must be because Zhang Zhengguo is busy here, and he can't take care of your marriage with Zhang Haojian......" Saying, Ma Xiaoxi also deliberately glanced at Qin Xiao, deliberately disgusting him to avenge the revenge he just said about his private affairs, Ma Xiaoxi continued:

"Just go back and see them, I don't think it's a big deal."

Su Xiaoman said: "You have time to tell them, I will definitely go when I am busy, but I really don't have time now." ”

Ma Xiaoxi said: "Do you want me to give them your new mobile phone number?" ”

Su Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Don't don't, I will sue them then, now the case is important, it is a matter of life and death, and I can't be distracted anymore." ”

When Qin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

Now the Zhang family and Luochuan Qin Xiao have seen knives and guns in the court, but the dark tide is still surging.

Liao Yun had just come back from the court, and before he could rest, his daughter-in-law came back and said with a smile:

"Liao Yun, I'm back, see what I've brought you? I've been thinking about you for the past few days, and I have to come back from my mother's house today, and I can't sleep well when you're at home. ”

Liao Yun limped up, and he was very puzzled today, because his wife had always been used to beating and scolding him, and he was a little uncomfortable when he came back so politely this time.

Liao Yun said, "You're back." ”

His wife hurriedly helped Liao Yun to sit down, and took out the food she brought to Liao Yun, only to see that it was a hot vegetable cake and fried eggs, Liao Yun was hungry all morning, and he didn't care if he choked on it, and devoured it. (To be continued.) )
