On the morning of April 2, 2003, exactly one year after the incident, the case of Zhang Ping, a hawker killed by the city administrator of Luoyan County, which had been followed and reported by many media, finally began trial at the Jiangxi Provincial High People's Court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, there were a lot of people who rushed outside the courtroom, including Zhang Jing, the daughter of Zhang Ping and his wife, their relatives and co-workers, as well as the urban management, leaders and family members involved in the case in Luoyan County, and more reporters from various media and ordinary people who complained about Zhang Ping and his wife.

Zhu Yan, Chen Lan and Teacher Chen also came to the provincial capital, they came with Xiao Jingjing, and they also took a few days off for this purpose.

Zhu Yan and the others went to the provincial capital last night and stayed at the cheap East Lake Hotel. Unexpectedly, not long after I moved in, someone visited, and it turned out to be the family members of those temporary urban management workers. They came to get Zhang Jing to withdraw the case, saying that they would give her 500,000 yuan in compensation. also threatened that if she refused to withdraw the case, she was afraid that she would not even get a penny, and she would not be able to win the lawsuit.

This incident made everyone very angry, and some felt a little strange, but everyone didn't take it to heart. Because the facts of the case are very clear, and the evidence is conclusive, no matter how it is judged, it will not be too outrageous, after all, Huaxia is still a society under the rule of law.

The lawyer Mr. Chen hired was a professor at the Provincial Law School, named Deng Hu. Professor Deng is very well-known in the legal profession and is very righteous, and he fought for Zhang Jing for free in this lawsuit. He himself was full of confidence in this lawsuit, saying that the original judgment made by the Luoyan County Public Security Bureau and the court was absolutely wrong, and it was impossible for such a judgment to be reversed in the second instance.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the courtroom finally opened as scheduled under the expectant gaze of everyone. Zhang Jing, as the plaintiff in the second-instance case, went in first with lawyer Deng Hu. Then, as the family members of the parties, Zhu Yan and 20 of them were allowed to enter the hearing.

After some legal proceedings, the presiding judge opened the hearing. In accordance with the regulations, the plaintiff's lawyer, Professor Deng, first stated the claims and cause of action.

I saw Professor Deng stand up calmly and said loudly:

"Honorable Presiding Judge, Judge,

As the lawyer of Zhang Jing, the family of the deceased, I would like to express my sympathy to this child who lost both parents at such a young age, and also to express my indignation to the murderers who caused this tragedy. Whether or not Zhang Ping is guilty or not, it should be decided by the law, and he should not be beaten to death without trial. The law is to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests, and the Luoyan County Court and the Public Security Bureau hastily believe that Zhang Ping is a thug and innocent of death, and this practice runs counter to the strict spirit of the law.

The law is the law, and we cannot put factors such as personal emotions and political pressures outside the law above the law. What I want to prove to the court is that the first-instance judgment found that Zhang Ping was killed by Luoyan County city management personnel Zhao XX, Liang XX, Li XX, and Tong XX for intentional homicide, and this characterization is wrong, and the application of law is also wrong, and it is contrary to the relevant laws and regulations. I also want to submit to the court that the criminal responsibility of urban management personnel Zhao XX, Liang XX, Li XX, and Tong XX be investigated, so as to safeguard the fairness and justice of the law.

……

If Zhang Ping was beaten to death in vain, more innocent and helpless traders would surely die at the hands of the chengguan; If such legitimate complaints cannot be supported by the law, then it will only allow more people to defend their rights and dignity in an extreme and violent way. If Zhang Ping should be beaten to death in this way, there will no longer be a boundary between guilt and non-crime, good and evil, life and death, and the power of the already pitiful rules in our society will be destroyed by evil, chaos and barbarism.

I hope that today's court verdict will show that our judicial system still has a minimum sense of right and wrong and independence. We hope that the judicial process of Zhang Ping's case will enable people to see how difficult our nation is, reflect on our suffering, and firmly stand on the side of the rule of law and humanitarianism.

……”

The trial lasted three hours, and both sides presented their own evidence, insisted on their own words, and argued with each other. Xiao Jingjing even asked to speak in person, and her tearful accusation made everyone at the scene cry.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the presiding judge requested a temporary adjournment, and the verdict was announced after discussion by the collegial panel in the afternoon.

So, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan helped Jingjing, who was crying non-stop, and followed Teacher Chen and Lawyer Deng back to the hotel where they stayed. At this time, everyone was still full of confidence in the verdict in the afternoon. Because judging from the evidence presented in the morning, it was beneficial to Zhang Jing's side in any case, and the chengguan who stabbed Zhang Ping to death had to be sentenced to more than five years in prison.

After lunch, everyone was waiting for the court to open the notice. Generally, the verdict of the court may be announced in court or may be notified. In their case, it is more likely that the afternoon court will be held in court to announce it in court.

However, unexpectedly, they waited until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they still did not wait for the notice of the trial. In the hearts of everyone, an ominous omen suddenly appeared.

At 4:28:35 p.m., there was finally news from the court, asking Zhang Jing and them to get the verdict of the second instance. Everyone was stunned, which meant that the outcome of the case would not be announced in court, but would not be publicly communicated to all parties, as is generally the case in cases involving privacy.

At this point, even a fool understands: there is definitely something strange in this!

Sure enough, Professor Deng accompanied Jingjing and was stunned as soon as he got the verdict. The verdict clearly states that it basically supports the verdict of the court of first instance, that Zhang Ping was shot dead on the spot in the course of the murder, that the actions of the urban management personnel of Luoyan County were justified defense, and that the crime of intentional homicide was not established.

What I didn't expect was that the verdict also wrote that in view of the fact that the Luoyan County Urban Management Staff also had some wrong practices in the process of law enforcement, and there was a partial causal relationship with the death of Zhang Ping and his wife, out of legal responsibility and humanitarian considerations, the Luoyan County Urban Management Bureau would compensate Zhang Jing 200,000 yuan and pay it off within one month.

If there is no fault, then what compensation is made? And if there is really a fault, why does the chengguan who killed the person not need to bear the slightest responsibility? The verdict itself is a contradiction, and it seems that some sympathy for the plight of the peddler's family, but some invisible force has to make this unreasonable verdict.

In the face of such a verdict, the hearts of all those present are as if a volcano has accumulated in their hearts, and once it erupts, it will burn all those so-called rule of law democracy, so-called justice and morality, and so-called harmonious society.

But everyone also understands that such an outcome should still be expected, as in a story. If a rich man's dog bites one of his tenants, and the tenant sues the rich man for the dog, what will the rich man say? If he kills a dog, which dog will faithfully guard the house for him? And if you abandon the tenants, as long as the rich man still has land in his hands, are you afraid that there will be no tenants? Does it matter what is right or wrong when choosing between the two?

Zhu Yan's lips were biting out blood, and the surging emotional energy in his heart almost burned his soul. He has been deeply disappointed in this so-called society governed by the rule of law, and perhaps he can only use his own way to sweep away all the injustices and crimes in this world.
