Main text Prologue Chapter 2 Equity

Justice is faced with the public, that is, the heaven that ordinary people think.

And is there fairness in this world?

Again, no.

Bai Yujie lost the first lawsuit, and in his early years, he was soft-hearted and lent 300,000 yuan to his relatives at home, but now because of this judgment, he doesn't have to ask for a penny.

Remorse spread in my heart, I knew that it was better not to come to the court to seek justice, and simply go directly to those collection companies in the society, although the charges were outrageous, but maybe I could really get some money back.

Like now, this paper verdict is the public's Chrysostom Yu, he said that the defendant does not owe you money, and it is useless for you to find anyone.

Bai Yujie was very annoyed, and after thinking about it, maybe he could appeal and go to a bigger public house to get justice for himself, but unfortunately the lawyer next to him hurriedly dispelled Bai Yujie's thoughts.

"This kind of civil case, generally more than 90% of the second instance will uphold the original judgment, only when the case is not clear, the appeal will be a good way, in the final analysis, you do not have a bank transfer record, lack of this important evidence, the appeal is just a waste of money"

So, I don't need to ask for the 300,000?

He was very remorseful, hating why the heavens were so unjust.

Bai Yujie lost his father at an early age, his father died of illness before he was ten years old, his parents were married late and had children later, his mother got married at the age of 36, and he was born at the age of 38.

When my father died, my mother had just completed the procedures for retiring from the unit, and I thought that I could teach my husband and children at home with peace of mind, but I never knew that I would suffer such a catastrophe.

Helplessly, the mother who is a working-class woman and is nearly fifty years old has to go out to work to support her children alone.

Fortunately, my parents were very frugal when they were young, and they also saved some savings.

A few years ago, a relative of the family failed in business and owed a lot of famine, so he borrowed money everywhere in times of crisis, and in the face of the family's eyes, only Bai Yujie's mother at that time lent out most of the coffins with a kind heart.

Unexpectedly, now it is a bamboo basket for water.

Fortunately, the hardships of his upbringing made him independent at an early age. But it also cultivated an extremely strong character. When he was a child, he grew up in an environment that made him feel inferior, but he was a person with high self-esteem in his bones, and it was in this contradictory self that he grew up to become the current Bai Yujie.

Maybe that's what people say, the more inferior people are, the stronger they are.

After graduating from university, it was not difficult for him to find a stable job from school.

But an ordinary and stable salaryman is not what Bai Yujie wants, what he needs is to get ahead, his mother raised himself with hard work, if he can't give his mother a happy old age, it will be a failure as a son.

Bai Yujie has a dream, a small dream.

When he was a child, he used to watch the children of rich families, and when it came to Mother's Day, he would buy a lot of gifts for his mother.

And when I was a child, I didn't have much money, so naturally I couldn't have any Mother's Day, so I could only help the family do more housework on the day of the festival or work hard to get a high score in the exam as a gift to my mother.

So Bai Yujie has had a dream since he was a child, that is, when he is rich in the future.

Let your mom celebrate Mother's Day every day.

Based on this, he resolutely gave up the seemingly stable jobs in the school recruitment, but actually gave up his life.

He studied hard and started his own business, but unfortunately God did not fulfill people's wishes, and many times it is not as long as you work hard you will definitely succeed.

Like many people, Bai Yujie had to recognize the facts after three years of hard work after graduation.

Complex interpersonal relationships, the copper smell of capital, and hypocritical faces, the world may not be as simple as we think.

After recognizing his failure, Bai Yujie found that he had already run away, he was no longer young and no longer a fresh graduate, and he was unable to face the impact of those fresh graduates who had just walked out of school.

After several failures and unwilling to be ordinary, he can only choose to bow to the darkness of this world.

However, giving up dignity and giving up the pride that he has always insisted on may be the most regrettable thing Bai Yujie has ever done in his life.

After a difficult job search, he found another relative in the family, a relative who was a leader in the local government department, and wanted to seek a good job through the back door.

Originally, everything was going well, but it wasn't until Bai Yujie took out the only 100,000 yuan he had saved in the past three years that things changed.

The promised work has been postponed again and again for various reasons.

Bai Yujie is not a fool, he understands that he has been deceived.

After blocking a relative's house and arguing, I finally got an IOU written by a relative. The IOU clearly stated that he had taken Bai Yujie's 100,000 yuan to arrange work for him, and it also stated the fact that the money had been received.

This is the second lawsuit in Bai Yujie's life.

Thinking that there is a second lawsuit to fight tomorrow, he also has to brace his spirits.

Fortunately, tomorrow's lawsuit is clearly written, and the judge has no reason not to judge me to win, right? Thinking of this, Bai Yujie may feel some comfort in his heart.

It's a pity that he underestimated the darkness of this world again, and the pre-trial inquiry began smoothly the next day, and he didn't understand why the judge had to conduct a pre-trial inquiry, but since the judge arranged it, Bai Yujie, who was from a vulnerable group, could only comply.

Since this case is not a simple lending relationship, the name of the lawsuit is no longer private lending, but unjust enrichment.

Bai Yujie, who thought it was foolproof, was once again refreshed his cognition of the world.

The defendant is the head of an important government department, and he has already greeted the local court.

It wasn't even a formal trial, because the summons wasn't issued, it was just a simple pre-trial questioning.

After the beginning of the questioning, the judge did not even ask the defendant a question, but only asked Bai Yujie one question repeatedly, and the lawsuit ended quickly.

The judge just asked him repeatedly, "What kind of money did you give the defendant?"

He said that it was the money to find a job, and the judge asked again, what is the money to find a job?

Bai Yujie is a little confused, what is the money for finding a job? It is the money for arranging a job for him.

What is the money for the work arrangement? The judge asked again, is it the money for medical examinations?

Bai Yujie thought to himself, it's definitely not, why spend so much money on physical examinations?

The judge asked again, what kind of money is it to find a job? Bai Yujie was asked Meng, it is the money to find a job. The judge asked again, do you know that the defendant is a government leader?

I must know, I don't know what to do with him?

Well, after the pre-trial questioning, the clerk quickly printed out the transcript of the questioning, which was signed by both the original defendant and the defendant.

After signing the matter, the judge took Bai Yujie outside the courtroom and said directly, I will definitely not support you in this case, because you are bribing money, and you will have to hold another meeting to discuss whether you are legally responsible, so you can simply go to the public security to sue him for fraud.

After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Bai Yujie's mind is a little cloudy, which is equivalent to the judge has privately announced the verdict of this lawsuit without a trial, and indirectly persuaded him to withdraw the lawsuit, because if the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit himself, he can still get back half of the litigation fee.

As for the prosecution of the crime of bribery, that is just a rhetoric for the judge's pressure, and it is quite difficult to file a case for an economic crime such as bribery. And going to the public security to sue the defendant for fraud Bai Yujie is not that he didn't think about it, but that it doesn't make any sense, not to mention how difficult it is to investigate and file a crime, even if the crime is convicted, what's the use of not getting a penny back?

From beginning to end, the defendant didn't say a word, didn't even look at Bai Yujie, he was like a stranger who stayed out of the matter and had nothing to do with the matter, sitting in the courtroom for less than ten minutes, lifting his butt and leaving.

It's just that after these ten minutes, the 100,000 yuan he took from Bai Yujie has completely become his own.

Standing at the door of the court again, as strong as Bai Yujie, he also shed tears, that is remorse, anger?

It's more of a sense of powerlessness, a sense of hopelessness about the world.

Before filing the lawsuit, Bai Yujie consulted many lawyers and even many retired judges, and they all said that there was basically no problem with this case, because to put it bluntly, this money is indeed a "benefit fee", can the judge not understand? He understands, according to the words of a retired old judge.

"In this case, the plaintiff will generally be awarded in favour, and if the judge does not support the plaintiff, then the judge is too unkind."

The crux of this case lies in what the money is used for, if Bai Yujie insisted from the beginning that the money was used to entrust the defendant to arrange work for him, and the defendant is like an intermediary, this statement is protected by the law.

However, how can ordinary people who have not studied much law know how to chew words to such an extent? Coupled with the deliberate guidance of the judge, once you express that the money is a "benefit fee" or that you cannot tell that the money is a commission fee, the law will not protect it.

So whether this money should be protected or not is actually fundamentally up to the judge himself.

However, because of the defendant's operation in the back, the judge completely favored the defendant without taking responsibility for himself.

In the final analysis, as long as you are a person living in this world, it is impossible for you not to understand, just like the old judge said, if you do not support the plaintiff, it will be too unkind.

To put it bluntly, Bai Yujie understands.

It's not just that there is no justice in this world.

There is no fairness in this world at all.
