Chapter 161: Well Deserved!
When Fang Yi heard that the county procuratorate had protested, he instinctively felt that Meng always came to consult, and wanted to ask himself how the court of second instance would decide.
Fang Yi didn't want to get too involved in Yuan Wei's case, and there was a meaning of extrapolating it out of his words, after all, Mr. Meng's brother-in-law entrusted not him, but Lawyer Zhao, so he didn't do thankless things. The key is that the other party doesn't give a consultation fee, who will do it for nothing!
"Hey! Lawyer Fang will not tell you that my brother-in-law originally wanted to entrust Lawyer Zhao to be the defender of the second trial, but suddenly something changed, and my brother-in-law thinks that you are a good person and have strong professional ability, so I want to meet you again and talk about my nephew's case. Mr. Meng's words were a bit informative, which made Fang Yi's eyes suddenly brighten, and then dimmed.
"That's it! I have a case in my hands for the past two days, and I may not be able to go to the city until Friday night or Saturday. Look at the time......" Fang Yi felt that the other party might be engaged in the trick of lawyer competition again, and he was disgusted with this mode of talking about the case from the bottom of his heart, so he shirked and said that there was something wrong.
"That's it! I asked them and if they weren't in a hurry to get them to drive over to you. It's not too far anyway. Mr. Meng said.
Fang Yi chatted with Mr. Meng for a few more words and hung up the phone. He felt that this thing would not be successful, and Yuan Changzheng and his family would not come so far to the county. It turned out that he was wrong.
After lunch, as soon as Fang Yi returned to the law firm, Mr. Meng's call arrived, and he asked Fang Yi to have dinner in the evening, and the location was set at the most famous restaurant in the county - Taiyueju.
Putting down the phone, Fang Yi muttered to himself, "Could it be that Mr. Meng's brother-in-law really wants to come over?" ”
When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Mr. Meng called and told Fang Yi that he had arrived at Taiyueju and reported the name of the private room to him.
In the private room of Taiyue Residence, Mr. Meng poured a cup of tea for his brother-in-law Yuan Changzheng and asked, "How is my sister-in-law?" ”
"It's okay, don't care about her, Xiaowei is used to her, if it weren't for her, Xiaowei wouldn't have had an accident." Yuan Changzheng was annoyed, and said with a disgusted face.
Yuan Changzheng's daughter-in-law, Yang Jing, originally hoped for Lawyer Zhao, thinking that hundreds of thousands of yuan had been spent inside and out, and the matter of her son Yuan Wei should be settled, but who knew that the county court sentenced Yuan Wei to one year and six months in prison and fined 2,000 yuan.
Fines are trivial matters, in Yang Jing's eyes, as long as they can be solved with money, they are not a problem at all, but a one-and-a-half-year sentence is unacceptable to her.
After the first-instance verdict, the county procuratorate actually filed a protest, arguing that Yuan Wei's sentence was light and should be sentenced heavily. Yang Jing's heart was in turmoil, and she washed her face with tears all day long, and she couldn't do anything.
Mr. Meng secretly said in his heart: He deserves it! When Yuan Wei went to someone's house when he was young, he followed up with the devil soldiers, drawers, wardrobes rummaging enough, the real one is annoying, your daughter-in-law Yang Jing doesn't care, if anyone says that little Yuan Wei is not, Yang Jing immediately became anxious, and even scolded him, that is called a calf protector, and offended everyone. How about now...... What kind of cause to plant, what kind of effect to get, Yuan Wei went in and squatted for a few years, maybe it was a good thing.
At the beginning, Mr. Meng's daughter-in-law, Yuan Changzheng's sister, scolded Yang Jing because of Yuan Wei's affairs, neither of them was good at stubble, if it wasn't for Mr. Meng to stop them, both of them could scratch up, so the two families did not speak for several years, and then Yuan Changzheng returned to China and mediated between the two families.
In the second instance of Yuan Wei's case this time, Yang Jing felt that Lawyer Zhao and his colleagues had not done a good job with the money, and they did not want to entrust them to represent the case again. However, considering that Lawyer Zhao was familiar with the case and that Yuan Changzheng was still acceptable to the judgment of the first instance, Yuan Changzheng contacted Lawyer Zhao to prepare to entrust him again, but he knew that at this critical moment, Lawyer Zhao had an accident and could no longer represent the case.
The two of them found a few more criminal lawyers in the city, and after talking, they either felt that they were unreliable, or they felt that the lawyer's fees were too high, which made them feel unacceptable.
Later, Yuan Changzheng remembered Fang Yi, so he found Mr. Meng and inquired about Fang Yi's situation. Mr. Meng told Yuan Changzheng everything he heard from Li Shuming, but the latter didn't believe it, and found some news and introductions of Fang Yi on the Internet, which were really similar to what Mr. Meng said.
So Yuan Changzheng had the idea of entrusting the case, but before entrusting it, he wanted to see Xia Yi again to see his opinion on his son's case, so he asked Mr. Meng to call Fang Yi and make an appointment to come to the city to discuss the case.
Before, Yuan Changzheng really wanted to repeat his old tricks and find a few more lawyers to discuss the case together, and by the way, he pressed the lawyer's fees. But Fang Yi didn't pick this stubble at all, and made excuses not to come. The second trial is still more than a week away, and there is no way, Yuan Changzheng can't afford to wait, so he has to go to the county once.
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Fang Yi walked in.
"Lawyer Fang, please take a seat. This is my eldest brother Yuan Changzheng, you have seen it before. Mr. Meng got up and introduced.
"Hello Mr. Yuan. I've been so busy lately...... when Mr. Meng called me, I happened to have something on hand, but I didn't expect you to come over in person. Fang Yi said politely.
"Lawyer Fang, you're polite. I should have come to you a long time ago, thank you for your legal advice last time, I'm sorry you left without eating last time. Yuan Changzheng said, beckoning the waiter to start ordering.
After ordering, the waiter withdrew from the private room, and only three people were left in the room, Fang Yi said: "I heard Mr. Meng say that your son's case was sentenced to one year and six months. ”
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, after you told us last time that my son might be guilty of fraud, I was prepared. Later, the lawyer Zhao asked me to go to their law firm and found a partner to talk to me about the case, saying that if I spent some money to find a relationship, my son might be found not guilty in this case.
I won't say anything about the rest of the story, but the county court sentenced my son to a year and a half, and I know that lawyer Zhao must have worked hard to do so. In fact, I can still accept this verdict, after all, my son cheated people out of money.
But the problem now is that the procuratorate does not recognize the court's verdict, believing that the court's sentence is lenient and should be sentenced to more than three years in prison, and the punishment should not be reduced......," Yuan Changzheng said with a bitter face.
"Then what is Lawyer Zhao's opinion?" Fang Yi asked.
"Hey! It was a coincidence. I wanted to look for him, but he was arrested by the police, supposedly in connection with a bribery case. Yuan Changzheng said.
"Bribes? And what about the partner you've met? Fang Yi asked.
As soon as this incident came out, I was frightened for several days, and then I asked about it, and it had nothing to do with my case, it was a problem with other cases, and they were carrying out the transfer of benefits
Come to think of it, I think you are the most reliable. So this time I'm coming back to you again. Yuan Changzheng said with a complicated look in his eyes.
