Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meddling

The national anthem of the Ming Dynasty is an excerpt from the original court music of the Tang Dynasty, the original four sections of the general's order, removing the loose board, slow board, leaving two sections of allegro, sharp board.

This song is very similar to the boy self-improvement song in another world, and even the lyrics are very similar, and the tune is high-spirited and uplifting.

Everyone stood solemnly, or sang loudly, or silently, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The Ming national flag and the national anthem have special decrees, and during the time when the national anthem sounds, if there is any slackness or gaffe, at least five boards will be played and detained for three days.

After the song was played, under Fan Xing's order, everyone sat down again.

Zhou Bei sat in the third position of the defendant's seat, opposite him, sitting was Zhu Liqing, diagonally opposite was Zhu Lihua, and behind her, sitting against the wall was Yu Youwei.

Zhu Lihua's gaze was cold, but Yu Youwei was pitiful, she was still sad in Zhu Qian's arms, and occasionally glanced at Zhou Bei, just like a thief.

Zhu Liqing looked at Zhu Lihua from time to time, and then looked at Zhou Bei's expression, obviously Zhou Bei's sudden change of hexagram made him very uneasy.

Zhu Lihua was too ruthless, not only did she want Zhou Bei's silver, but also his skills, and she didn't give him Youwei, forcing Zhou Bei into a desperate situation.

As far as the clan is concerned, they rarely dare to do this, because they always have to leave a way for others to live.

Leave a line today, and we will meet later.

However, for the sake of the shareholder position of local commercial banks, Zhu Lihua will only dislike less money, not too much money.

And he definitely wants Youwei, which is the only chip that can truly belong to him.

And Tang Wangfu and Tangzhou County must be Zhoubei's technology, without these leading technologies, Tangzhou's industrial road is still broken.

This led to everything in Zhou Bei being divided by them, leaving him no chips.

Of course, this time the patent of four-wheel drive is authorized, and it will be a lot of silver, Zhou Bei seems to have paid a lot, but it did not hurt his muscles and bones.

The key is that he was stimulated by Youwei, and he suddenly changed his mind again, wanting to hit the stone with an egg and be tough.

Zhou Beiruo really would rather be in prison for more than ten years than sign, this is too passive.

Zhu Lihua didn't have too much to worry about, because she knew very well that the lawyer would analyze everything clearly.

As long as Zhou Bei goes to prison, his whole life will be ruined.

Now it seems that he has paid a lot, but the patent in his hand is too valuable, and now he has nothing, and as soon as the patent licensing agreement is signed, he will soon be a rich man again.

But there is one thing he sees very clearly, that is, he can only be a rich man, and she will not allow him to enter the officialdom and turn over.

For two hours, the lawyers of both sides sorted out the case that occurred on the evening of 21 July.

The contradictory confessions of both sides have also been clearly analyzed by the two masters.

Almost none of the plaintiffs and defendants spoke, but when the lawyer made a statement, they answered yes and no.

The busiest are the two lawyers, who break each link little by little to supplement the law, and both of them end up with dry mouths and water one by one.

After sorting out the case, Fan Xing also marked the legal issues involved in the case one by one, and said: "The victim of the case belongs to the clan and is the upper class of the Ming Dynasty. The suspect is Zhou, who has a five-rank official honor. According to the Ming Law, if the victim is willing to reconcile and the suspect has a meritorious position, he can redeem himself. What is the attitude of both sides? ”

Zhu Liqing looked at Zhou Bei, turned to Fan Xing and said, "Presiding judge, I am willing to reconcile." ”

Fan Xing's gaze passed. "Suspect, are you willing to redeem yourself with official honors? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the injury is a heavy punishment, and the five-rank official honor only has one chance to redeem, and this use, before you get the medal, there will be no chance of redemption. ”

Before Zhou Bei could speak, Zhou Duo behind him raised his hand, and Fan Xing nodded. "Permission to speak."

Zhou Duo got up and said, "I am willing to reconcile and redeem." ”

But Zhou Bei got up at this time and said: "Presiding judge, I am unwilling to reconcile and redeem. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Lihua's originally calm expression suddenly became stunned, and then her eyes became gloomy, staring at Zhou Bei's face.

Fan Xing's expression was calm and he asked, "Why?" ”

Zhou Beilang said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." I know my innocence, I believe in the Ming law, I believe that the Criminal Department can investigate the cause of the case, and I don't want to be stigmatized. ”

Fan Xing said again: "If you reconcile and redeem at this time, it will not affect your reputation, but if you enter the next procedure and are found guilty, Jin Hui will affect your life." ”

"I understand below."

Zhao Meng couldn't help but raise his hand, and Fan Xing looked at him and nodded. He got up and looked at Zhou Bei beside him and said in a deep voice, "Why has it changed?" We also communicated yesterday that the outcome of the settlement is good for everyone, and it will not affect your future. If you want to defend your innocence, you know how difficult it is! ”

Zhou Bei nodded and said, "I know, but I believe in the fairness of Dali Temple more." ”

Fan Xing said at this time: "The original purpose of today's reconciliation and mediation is to eliminate contradictions and differences. Both plaintiffs and defendants have the right to express their opinions.

Next, for half an hour of free dialogue, I hope that you will be able to achieve the goal of bridging your differences. If mediation fails and the parties do not produce new evidence, the trial will proceed after three days.

Representatives of the Criminal Division, do you have any further findings? ”

A strong man sitting on the wall at the door got up and said, "If mediation fails, the Criminal Department plans to retry Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng, who experienced the case that day." ”

On the plaintiff's side, the eyes of several people looked at the strong man, obviously very shocked.

Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng are Zhu Liqing's entourage, and if there is no special reason, the Criminal Department will not interrogate them again.

As the weak-hearted party, they were afraid that Yuan Sheng and Qian Kun would not be able to resist the pressure of the Criminal Department.

The strong man's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Early this morning, Jin Yiwei formally submitted a request to the Criminal Department that he would intervene in this case and investigate whether there were any officials who violated rules and discipline. ”

A thin man beside him got up and said, "Wu Sheng, one of the members of the Zhongzhou delegation this time, was ordered to intervene in this case. ”

Zhu Lihua couldn't help but said sharply: "This is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

The other party bowed slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness, both sides of the case have official backgrounds and are within the scope of Jinyiwei's investigation. ”

Zhu Lihua felt flustered for a while, and said angrily: "You are only a member of the Central Continent delegation, and you do not belong to the officials of the Eastern Continent, I don't know the reason for your intervention." If you can intervene at will, where will you leave the officials of Dongzhou? ”

Wu Sheng said with a smile: "The relevant procedures are in line with the legal procedures, His Royal Highness the County Lord might as well think about why we should intervene." ”

After saying that, he walked to the door and waved outward, and soon, two detectives in flying fish suits, one detective, and four detectives came together.

Wu Sheng took out an official letter from his bosom and handed it to Fan Xing and said: "Your Excellency, it is obvious that today's mediation meeting is useless, but we respect the trial procedures of Dali Temple......"

Fan Xing opened the official letter, and after reading it, he quietly swept away everyone and said, "The plaintiff, are you willing to continue the settlement process?" ”

Zhu Li swallowed his saliva, and said in a dry voice: "I wish...... Meaning. ”

"The defense, are you willing to continue the settlement process?"

Zhou Bei said categorically: "I don't want to." ”

Zhu Lihua's eyes stared at Zhou Bei fiercely, and her hands clutched the tabletop, but on this occasion, she barely controlled herself from breaking out.

Fan Xing nodded and said: "Reconciliation requires the will of both parties, since one party does not agree, cancel the reconciliation procedure." In view of the fact that the defendant is still suspicious, Dali Temple will be seized for the time being, and the next procedure will be carried out three days later. Now it's over......"

After saying that, he sorted out the materials on the desktop and put them into folders.

Hearing the end, Zhu Lihua couldn't control her emotions anymore, and said to Zhou Bei fiercely: "Zhou Zaiheng, you actually let Jinyiwei intervene!" ”

Zhou Bei said with a calm expression: "In order to clear the suspicion, I have to do this." ”

"I've been too kind to you......"

Zhou Bei shook his head and said, "No, Niangniang, you are too greedy." ”

"You'll regret it."

Youwei's eyes widened, and she was greatly shocked when she saw her mother's dispute with Zhou Bei.

She always thought that her mother liked Zhou Bei, but today she learned that her mother had always disliked him.

Originally, she was just sad and cried incessantly, but at this time, she seemed to realize something, and kept bowing her head and weeping, unable to see her expression clearly.

Zhou Bei sighed and didn't argue with Zhu Lihua anymore, it was meaningless.

He and Yu Youwei, even if they are childhood sweethearts, are no longer possible.

In another world, children can fall in love freely, but in the Ming Dynasty, the fate of family and parents is far more important than love.

Now that the relationship between the two families is divided, it is no longer possible between them.

"Qian Zhuyi, Yuan Guard, please ......"

Although it was an agent from the Criminal Department who came forward, everyone knew that it was a few Jinyi guards who really decided the direction of the incident.

Qian Kun's expression was still very calm, but Yuan Sheng was a little frightened, and the two obediently followed a few agents out, without handcuffs.

Zhu Liqing's expression was gloomy, and he kept looking down at his hand on the table, like a statue, without saying a word.

Zhu Lihua turned her head and glanced at Zhou Bei, and said lightly: "I underestimate you, but think about it more in the future......

After speaking, she took the lead and walked out before Fan Xing and them.

Zhu Qian helped Yu Youwei to the door, returned to the house alone, and came to Zhou Bei. "What's in it for you?"

Zhou Bei asked rhetorically: "I obeyed fate, is it good?" ”

Zhu Qian sighed. "You underestimated the power of the palace, I hope that next, you can be more sensible."

She walked out, and the people in Dali Temple also left Zhou Bei and them a short time to communicate, and they were not in a hurry to bring Zhou Bei and them back.

Faced with his worried father and mother, Zhou Bei wanted to tell them not to worry.

However, there were still people present in Tang Wangfu and Xue Wangfu, and Zhou Bei could only comfort: "Dad, mother, don't worry, we have already arranged it, I will be able to go out in two days." ”

Zhou Duo looked even more worried, and asked, "What cooperation have you reached with Jinyiwei?" They help us, I'm afraid the cost is even higher. ”

Zhou Bei smiled and did not answer directly. "Second Elder, please rest assured, I know it in my heart."
