018. Dean Lu
Wei Jieling's proposal was very good, and Tan Jing readily agreed, but Lu Peiming waved his hand and refused, and it was not the interview that he refused: "Secretary Ono and Miss Seven can stay and observe." β
Miss Seven is just incidental, and Midai Ono is the one he wants to stay.
Lu Peiming's coastal Lu family is also a big family, when Wang Zhaoming and Jiang Zhongzheng have not fallen out, the Lu family can be called pivotal in Binhai - the old man Lu himself served in the coastal authorities of the Republic of China, and the Lu family's aunt and grandmother married a senior Kuomintang official, and Yin Hui Lu Peiming became a justice of the Binhai Supreme Court.
Now that Mr. Lu is still in the coastal authorities, Lu Peiming has also been promoted to become the president of the court, but the status of the Lu family has plummeted - just because the aunt's son-in-law followed Jiang Zhongzheng to Chongqing, but he didn't have time to take the entire Lu family away.
Xie Liunian detained the Lu family in Binhai because he needed such a big family to stabilize people's hearts, but at the same time, he could not allow a family that had nothing to do with Chongqing to hold a high position in the authorities. As a result, Old Man Lu's original position became a vacant position, and although Lu Peiming was promoted to dean, he became more careful than before, even grovelingβjust like he did to Ono Meidai now.
Ono Meidai smiled and motioned for Wei Jieling to sit down: "I'm also curious about the interview with the reporter, if you agree, I would like to stay and listen." β
Having said that, how can you refuse to talk about competition? I can only politely ask Midai Ono to take care of herself. So the four of them sat down again, Tan Jing opened the pen and notebook, and began to ask questions to Lu Peiming.
"Prince Wei invited Dean Lu to be a lobbyist to persuade Miss Seven to withdraw the lawsuit, what does Dean Lu think about this matter?"
Lu Peiming seemed quite calm, and he spoke very slowly, in order to leave enough time for his brain to think...... Or rather, enough time to make up nonsense.
Tan Jing knew what Lu Peiming thought, he didn't want to offend the rich and rival Prince Wei, but now that this lawsuit was concerned by the Japanese consulate, he was even more reluctant to get involved. If Miss Wei Qi takes the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit at this time, then all the problems will naturally be solved.
He looked at Lu Peiming, and Lu Peiming also looked at him. Both of them knew the reason, but Lu Peiming still had to make up a set of high-sounding rhetoric for Tan Jing - this was Tan Jing's deliberate manipulation of him, blaming him for leaving Ono Meidai to observe their interview.
Lu Peiming took out the handkerchief again, put it in his hand and pinched it. His legs were unconsciously spreading, his face was a little red, and a thin layer of sweat was floating on his forehead, which made him look a little embarrassed.
"Miss Seven and Master Wei are a family in the end, brothers and ......sisters," he stammered, "Brother and sister go to court over inheritance disputes, especially if they are also concerned by media people like reporters, which will not have a good impact on the coastal society, and then there will be no trust between brothers and sisters, and ethics in the family will be corrupted...... How can society develop steadily? β
Tan Jing said "oh": "Then you mean that Miss Seven should allow the eldest prince of Wei to violate the will of the old Duke Wei and embezzle the property of the Wei family in an open and honest manner?" β
Lu Peiming said: "It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and the Wei family Yizhuang is used to support the Wei clan, and the eldest son, as a member of the Wei family, will not abandon the clansmen." Besides, it is better to give people a fish than to give them a fish, and instead of putting the dead money there, it is better to turn the dead into life and use the money as an investment to make profits, wouldn't it be able to support the Wei family for thousands of years? β
"Is this matter of investing and making profits, is it the plan of Prince Wei, or is it the speculation of Justice Lu?"
"Master Wei has this plan." Lu Peiming relaxed a little, and the sweat on his forehead disappeared, so he put the handkerchief on his knee and folded it and stuffed it into his pocket, "But the specific operation method, Lu Mou is not clear." β
"I have a question for Miss Seven," Tan Jing turned to Wei Jieling, "Has the eldest prince's plan been mentioned to you, or any of the Wei clansmen?" β
Wei Jieling immediately shook her head: "Never, I only knew when I heard Dean Lu talk about it today." β
Tan Jing smiled slowly and methodically: "Since the eldest prince of Wei used the money of Yizhuang to make money and better support the Wei family, why don't you tell Miss Seven and the clansmen directly, even this lawsuit has already been filed to arouse social concern, and he has not mentioned it to Miss Seven?" β
Lu Peiming was stunned for a moment, and immediately shot back: "How does this Lu know, if the reporter is curious, he should ask the eldest son." β
"Well, it was my mistake." Tan Jing argued with him, and immediately changed his words, "Let's still say that this lawsuit has never had the same case before the Republic of China, but there are corresponding legal provisions, may I ask Dean Lu, how do those legal provisions stipulate the distribution of inheritance?" β
The law of the Republic of China stipulates that men and women have the same right to inheritance, which is to legally determine the equal social status of men and women. But since the founding of the Republic of China, no one has really followed this rule - the married daughter is spilled water, and the unmarried only has a dowry to be regarded as the benevolence of the mother's family, and those who are really qualified to share the inheritance of the ancestors are still the brothers in the family.
"Brother Xinjiang." Lu Peiming suddenly called Tan Jing's name and looked into his eyes, "If you were the judge presiding over this case, how would you judge?" β
He suddenly turned against the guest, which made Tan Jing surprised: "Naturally, it is judged according to the provisions of the law." β
"That's it." Lu Peiming said, "You interviewed me today just to ask me about my attitude towards this case, so as to speculate how I will try the case." Since this is the case, then I will now make it clear to my husband: I, Lu someone, am the president of the court appointed by the authorities of the Republic of China, and I will definitely judge the case impartially and judge the case according to law, so that I am worthy of the central authorities and my parents and the people...... Journalists just have to wait for the results. β
After a lot of high-sounding rhetoric, Tan Jing laughed, and was about to ask a question, but Ono Meidai suddenly took over the conversation: "Dean Lu is worthy of being praised by Mr. Wang himself, and it is really a blessing that this lawsuit can be tried by you personally." β
Wei Jieling looked at Ono Meidai in surprise, she had always felt that Ono Meidai was here to support her, and Lu Peiming was a lobbyist sent by her brother Wei Yingguo.
Tan Jing looked at Ono Meidai with a smile: "Secretary Ono's mouth is very powerful, and he can say anything." β
Ono Meidai glanced at him, and laughed along, she seemed to sigh softly, a little helpless, and said to Wei Jieling: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" Miss Seven is unwilling to withdraw the lawsuit, so this lawsuit must be ...... Now I can only trust Justice Lu to judge the case impartially. β
Tan Jing frowned: "Secretary Ono supports Miss Seven to withdraw the lawsuit?" β
Wei Jieling's back straightened up, she leaned over to Ono Meidai unconsciously, and looked at her intently, for fear that she would say something unfavorable to herself - Wei Jieling didn't want Ono Meidai to do anything behind this lawsuit to help her win the lawsuit, but she didn't want her to stand on Wei Yingguo's side and stumble on herself.
But Ono Meidai replied perfectly: "Consul Sukawa hopes that Miss Seven can withdraw the lawsuit after achieving the goal of retaining the property of Yizhuang...... The legacy left by Lao Wei Gong for the entire Wei family should not be filled by anyone for their own selfish interests. β
She said and smiled softly at Wei Jieling: "After all, Miss Seven and the eldest prince are a family, if the family can solve the conflict behind closed doors, it will naturally be much better than going to court." β
Wei Jieling put her mind at ease and bowed her head to thank her.
Lu Peiming looked at Tan Jing: "Is there anything else you want to ask about the reporter?" β
He had found a universal answer that could answer any question he could ask, and he seemed calm again. Tan Jing also found out about this situation, so the remaining questions became meaningless...... He closed his notebook and said with action that the interview could be over.
I have one last question, Tan Jing put on the cap of the pen, indicating that the answer to this question will not be recorded and will not be reported in the newspaper, but Lu Peiming still looked at him with defensive eyes: "Don't talk about the law, don't talk about friendship, just talk about yourself, do you think Miss Wei Qi's lawsuit should be fought?" β
Lu Peiming's eyes drooped, he was silent for a long time, and said softly: "You should fight, you shouldn't fight." β
"I want to hear about it."
Lu Peiming shook his head: "I shouldn't say this, but I still want to ask reporters, have you thought about it, if Miss Seven loses, thousands of girls will be in the future...... The status may not be as good as it is today. β
Wei Jieling immediately said: "Which of my requests does not conform to the laws of the Republic of China?" If you strictly follow the laws and regulations, how can you lose? β
Lu Peiming looked at her, exhaled lightly, and then turned to Tan Jing and continued: "If this lawsuit is won, then what awaits the Wei family and Miss Wei Qi will be endless property lawsuits, which will be fought until the Wei family goes bankrupt and the entire family is ruined." β
Wei Jieling looked at him dumbfounded, and only spoke after a while: "I just want to get what I deserve." β
"Miss Seven's behavior is not wrong," Lu Peiming retrieved his hat from the coffee table and stood up, this afternoon was fruitless, he wanted to leave, "The law will be on your side." β
When he said this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he cast his gaze on Ono Meidai for a moment, and then moved back to his original position and bowed slightly to Wei Jieling: "I take my leave, Miss Seven." β
Wei Jieling got up to see him off, and the guests in the hall got up together and said goodbye to her at the same time. Ono Meidai confirmed her meeting time with Qi Chuan to Wei Jieling again, and walked out of the gate of the Wei family's old mansion with Tan Jing.
Tan Jing paused in front of the threshold and asked Lu Peiming, "Which door did Dean Lu enter from the Wei Mansion?" β
Lu Peiming didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, and replied inexplicably: "Jiaomen, what's wrong?" Isn't the door of the Wei family's old mansion always open only for the prince? β
Tan Jing looked at Ono Meidai with a smile and nodded: "Yes, even if Secretary Ono can't be called a prince now, he can be regarded as an adult." β
