Chapter 31: Trial of Cases
A few days later, the female servants and palace maids of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions entered Beijing, and the Zhenghuang Banner Infantry Brigade was stationed in Dihua to rest and recuperate.
After a few days in a row, I didn't see Shawa, Ye Zhao asked, but he had been living in Zhu Sisi's villa for the past few days, Ye Zhao was immediately angry, heartless, and his daughter didn't care? The second girl chased after Hua Ji all day long, seeing that Hua Ji liked her, and often hugged her to play, but every time she saw Ye Zhao, she was startled, so she timidly put it down, so she was careful, as if she was afraid of touching Ye Zhao's baby bump, Ye Zhao was distressed, to say, Hua Ji should have her own baby, perhaps, she would not be so timid.
This is said to be the next dynasty, Ye Zhao went straight to Zhu Sisi's villa in Poer Hutong.
There were plainclothes guards at the entrance of the alley, leading Ye Zhao all the way into the courtyard, and he didn't dare to make a noise under Ye Zhao's gestures, and Ye Zhao quickly stepped into the study.
Rows of bookshelves, full of books, with a pen and inkstone on the desk under the window, next to an ebony bookcase to the north, Zhu Sisi and Shawa sat side by side with their backs to Ye Zhao, discussing something, the bookcase was full of bibliographies, like a hill.
Ye Zhao coughed and walked over. Sisi and Shawa turned around and saw Ye Zhao, they were very surprised, and they all stood up.
"What are you busy with?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.
Sisi said: "There is a case, the case of my sister-in-law's friend, and I am discussing with Sava what to do. ”
Shawa came over and took a sip on Ye Zhao's face affectionately, ** sticking to Ye Zhao's arm, grinding Ye Zhao's mouth dry for a while, and the words that wanted to reprimand her were swallowed back into her stomach, and she smiled bitterly in her heart, she was really a faint gentleman!
Sitting down across the table, Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "You guys are busy with yours, what case, I'll take a look at it." ”
Zhu Sisi hesitated for a moment and said, "I must take care of this case." The pretty face showed a bit of determination.
Ye Zhaoqi said: "Who didn't tell you to take care of it?" What the hell is the case? ”
Sava stuck out her tongue and said, "Husband, Sister Sisi and I want to fight a lawsuit with Taihe Yinhao." ”
Ye Zhao was stunned, obviously Sava and Zhu Sisi are different, although Shawa knows that Taihe Silver is her own industry, but she treats it more as a game. Zhu Sisi is different, Zhu Sisi naturally knows that Taihe Yinhao must be wholly owned by Taihexing, and it is the source of funds for the entire Taihe Group, and Taihexing is its own industry, and a lawsuit with Taihe Yinhao is to act against Taihexing, which is likely to make herself angry.
took the case file handed over by Zhu Sisi, and after a few glances, Ye Zhao's brows furrowed.
If it is said in later generations, it is a case of harassment with the surname of the deputy general manager of the Jingshi branch of Taihe Bank surnamed the case of harassing a female clerk.
The female clerk is called Xie Caifeng, 21 years old, from Ye Zhao's knowledge, she is 20 years old, and entered Jingshi Taihe Bank last year. She said that after joining the company, she was repeatedly scolded by Zhang Wenjin, the deputy general manager of the bank, and she could only swallow her anger for the sake of her family's livelihood, but Zhang Wenjin's actions became more and more bold, and the words that disturbed her became more and more explicit, she couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately appealed to the general manager of the branch, but the next day, she was dismissed on the grounds that she was incompetent for her job.
Looking through the dossier and seeing that Zhu Sisi had been staring at herself, Ye Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "Are you fighting against me?" ”
Zhu Sisi said: "Caifeng people are very good, six years ago, study and work, is a very strong girl, for this thing can be hit, the neighbors and rumors, she also threw herself into the well, if she was not rescued, this life would be gone." Besides, even if I don't know her, I won't stand idly by when this happens. ”
Ye Zhao nodded, looked at Sava again, and said, "What are you doing to make a scene?" ”
Zhu Sisi was obviously worried that Ye Zhao would scold Shawa, and hurriedly said: "I am looking for Shawa, ask the arbitration committee to mediate, and ask Zhang Wenjin to apologize and not do similar behavior again, but Taihe Bank simply ignored the arbitration committee and sent cleaners to participate in mediation!" At this, Jussi became more and more angry.
Ye Zhao said: "Taihe Bank is quite domineering. "I don't see what he's thinking.
Zhu Sisi said: "Isn't this the "Labor Protection Law" and the "Special Provisions for Female Workers" just promulgated, I am discussing with Sava whether I can sue the branch of Taihe Bank and Zhang Wenjin in the court." ”
The borders of the empire and the Central Plains can be said to have been completely two worlds, in the Central Plains, the structure of a civilized society has gradually been built, the legal protection of hired workers is becoming more and more perfect, and there is no such thing as a surname disturbance, but with the proliferation of female clerks, the OL in uniform is tantamount to a great temptation for the current company heads. Nowadays, female surnames, don't look at the custom of male superiority and inferiority of women for a long time, but few are willing to be played by their bosses to obtain various benefits, and most of the people who enter the company are new female surnames, traditional conservative ideas and the inculcation of the spirit of equality between men and women, so that most of them will not agree with any unspoken rules, especially married female surnames, it is even more impossible to be a "little three".
Many women agree with being a concubine, but it is often a childless thing, who doesn't want to be a wife? As for stealing men, whether they are married or unmarried, they have no name or no name and fornication with their bosses? If it is spread out, don't be a person, all evil silver is the head, for the mainstream culture of the Central Plains, this is the most taboo thing.
The emergence of the "Special Provisions for Women Workers" in the Labor Protection Law is a special product of this era to protect female clerks and workers from their superiors.
Ye Zhao asked, "Can this matter be taken accurately?" ”
Zhu Sisi said: "There are several witnesses who are willing to come out to testify. ”
Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "You guys are busy with you." He picked up the paper on the table and looked through it.
Zhu Sisi glanced at Ye Zhao a few times, and then discussed the case with Sava in a whisper.
Looking at Zhu Sisi and looking at Shawa, Ye Zhao sighed for a while, especially Shawa, who was concentrating on doing things, but she really had the taste of a legal expert, and she was no longer the ignorant Western girl who knew how to hold herself and shout sweetheart before.
After a while, Ye Zhao asked, "Sisi, if it wasn't Taihexing this time?" What would you do about it? I mean, these things, as long as you want to do them, are actually quite simple, and you are now the director of the Jingshi Patrol Department. ”
Zhu Sisi smiled and said, "What do you say? ”
Ye Zhao smiled, waved his hand and said, "You are busy, you are busy." ”
…… For several days, they couldn't see Shawa, and Ye Zhao was free for them. This said that after receiving the war report of Tibetan Province, Zhao Sanbao had pacified the entire territory of Tibetan Province, and asked if he wanted to turn over Pulan to suppress the bandits.
A few months ago, the remnants of the PKP fled into India and set up their own "Kingdom of China" in villages on the border between India and Nepal.
I heard that the "Edict of Restoration of the Nation" was also issued, asking the people of the former Chinese Heavenly Kingdom in China to rise up and overthrow the rule of the imperial bureaucracy, but in the vigorous development of the Central Plains, its declaration of restoration was inevitably pale and weak.
The Fairness Men suffered almost no major casualties in Tibetan Province, and they fled all the way, not to Nepal, not to Bhutan, but to the southwest of Puran.
According to various intelligence, Lu Yueting had close ties with several British businessmen, and the remnants of the PKI were able to gain a foothold on the Indonesian border, which confirmed this statement.
Another political axe in exile?
Ye Zhao sneered in his heart, and drafted a telegram, asking Zhao Sanbao to appease the Tibetan people, and ordering Cheng Yi, the minister of the Tibetan Provincial Office, to prepare to carry out land reform in Tibetan Province, starting from the Tibetan areas that were plundered all the way by the Fairness Party.
In the end, moving the provincial capital and county structure into Tibet Province is naturally Ye Zhao's ultimate goal, but he needs to take his time, and in his eagerness, he will inevitably make mistakes in his busyness.
In the afternoon, I received a phone call from Zhu Sisi, saying that the Jingshi Neicheng District Legal Affairs Institute had accepted the case of Xie Caifeng v. Taihe Bank Jingcheng Branch and Zhang Wenjin, deputy general manager of the branch, and asked Ye Zhao if he wanted to hear the trial.
Ye Zhao smiled and said no, Zhu Sisi didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.
It was the foreign-language newspapers in Tianjin, the Shanghai Concession, and Hong Kong and Macao that paid great attention to the case, and they reported at length and analyzed the background of the bank, and from various sources, these newspapers believed that the bank had a close relationship with the Chinese royal family, and that it was a great surprise that the Chinese court had accepted the case, but they believed that the Chinese royal family, like the European royal family, would use their judicial privilege to terminate the hearing of the case.
Of course, some China correspondent articles wrote that without the acquiescence of the Chinese royal family, this case would not have appeared in the public eye, let alone a judge would dare to accept it.
In the European media, there have also been intermittent reports on the case, and the benefits of the telegraph network's global connectivity have made it possible for what happened in China to reach Europe the next day.
The Imperial Court of Justice, criminal cases have adopted a "jury" system, each case is tried by a jury composed of six judges, and the final result is a show of hands voting system, among the six judges, there is a ** official, if the number of votes is the same, his vote is the vote that determines the final result. For judges [***] to accept bribes, the punishment of the empire is extremely severe, such as accepting bribes, in addition to confiscating all the stolen money, bribes of more than 500 silver dollars, punishable by more than 10 years in prison, without parole, without commutation, and after being released from prison, for life in the profession of legal consulting, more than 1,000 silver dollars, if the circumstances are heinous, the death penalty. Imperial law, in addition to vigorously abolishing all torture, has also increased the cost of crime exponentially with heavy punishment.
Of course, the judges' salaries are extremely high, and after obtaining the qualifications of formal judges, even the judges at the county level have an annual salary of more than 300 silver dollars, and they are very rich in supporting a family of old and young and a servant.
After more than a month of trial, the Jingshi Neicheng District Legal Affairs Court held its third trial and pronounced its verdict on February 3.
Xie Caifeng sued the Jingshi Branch of Taihe Bank and Zhang Wenjin, and the plaintiff Xie Caifeng won the lawsuit, and the Jingshi Branch of Taihe Bank was required to compensate Xie Caifeng 130,000 silver dollars as unemployment compensation and solatium for his name, and Zhang Wenjin compensated Xie Caifeng for 8,700 silver dollars for his famousness.
Immediately, the entire empire, including the European media, was boiling.
What does the compensation of nearly 140,000 silver dollars mean? It means that Xie Caifeng has become one of the richest rich women in the world.
The people of the empire are puzzled, and even some women wonder, why is it not me who is hairy?
On February 4, the Dali People's Court announced that the case would be included as a reference case, and that the Law Courts at all levels could cite this case as a basis for adjudication when encountering the same case.
According to the Special Provisions for Female Workers of the Labor Protection Law, if the employer refuses to warn and deal with the perpetrator of unfair treatment such as harassment and molestation, and instead dismisses the victim female worker, the employer will punish her according to the size of the enterprise.
According to the press officer, according to the trial of the case, the judge unanimously ruled that the Taihe Bank Jingcheng Branch had illegally dismissed the female victim workers, and made a judgment of 130,000 yuan in compensation based on the economic department's asset valuation of 1.27 million silver dollars of the Taihe Bank Jingcheng Branch.
The press officer concluded by revealing that the trial of the case received special attention from the Emperor.
The imperial media was in an uproar, the European media was in an uproar, and people of insight immediately realized the far-reaching impact of the verdict of this case, which was not about whether the victimized female workers should be compensated for such a large amount of money, but about the deterrence of big business and those in power, just like the spirit that the imperial law has always pursued, using the cost of crime to curb the crime of power.
It is reported that as soon as the verdict was announced, the head office of Taihe Bank announced that it would not appeal, and because of the loss of property and reputation caused to Taihe Bank, Li Xingyi, general manager of the Jingshi Branch, was dismissed, and at the same time, a representative director of Taihe Head Office took the blame and resigned, which can be said to have caused a major earthquake at the senior management of Taihe Bank. At the same time, the head office also discussed internally whether to prosecute Li Xingyi for dereliction of duty.
After the court pronounced the verdict, Zhu Sisi accompanied Xie Caifeng, who was dizzy and didn't know where she was, out of the courthouse, and immediately a reporter rushed over to interview.
Zhu Sisi handed Xie Caifeng over to the lawyer, and then quickly boarded a carriage that had been waiting outside the court, and on the carriage, Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile.
Zhu Sisi immediately got into Ye Zhao's arms, took Ye Zhao's hand and hugged herself, seeing that she was suddenly coquettish like a child, Ye Zhao smiled even more happily.
Zhu Sisi kicked off her leather shoes, stepped on the brocade seat with her soft little white socks, leaned on Ye Zhao's arms, and said, "Pervert, you like this, don't you?" ”
Ye Zhao looked at her soft body rising and falling under the black uniform of the police officer, looked at the little white socks that were deliberately warped, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Are you tempting me?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Sisi's face was full of happiness and said, "It's to tempt you!" Hook you up! ”
Ye Zhao also smiled, although it was itchy so much, he couldn't wait to correct her on the spot in the carriage, but his heart was warm, very warm, when the love was strong, what is the surname? What is Love?
"What about that person? Can he come up with nine thousand silver dollars? Zhu Sisi asked curiously.
Ye Zhao said with a smile: "If you can't take it, you will go bankrupt, limit food and drink, and the money he earns in the future, in addition to ensuring basic life, will be handed over to pay Xie Caifeng as compensation and interest." ”
After a long while, Zhu Sisi suddenly said: "Pervert, I will not see you again one day, and I will commit suicide." ”
Ye Zhao was stunned, pinched her nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, I like women with three chastity and nine spirits." ”
Zhu Sisi smiled, and buried her pretty face in Ye Zhao's arms.
