Chapter 101: The Court Session Begins, Strike Them Hard!

Inside Baijun law Firm.

Su Bai once again conducted a simple organization of the relevant evidentiary materials of Zhang Laidong’s case.

Afterward.

He handed the materials to Li Xuezhen.

“Alright, the general materials of this case have already been organized, you should roughly review them again and see whether there are any problems, if there are no problems then we can file the appeal with the court.”

Li Xuezhen received the materials and lowered her head to look at the contents, her small face slightly wrinkling, “Lawyer Su.”

“In this case, does that infrastructure company Hailan Construction Industry Co., Ltd. have any illegal conduct or not.”

“Can we file an appeal together against them.”

Facing Li Xuezhen’s question, Su Bai spoke with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, “Do you think it is possible.”

Li Xuezhen’s small face became excited, her eyes brightened, and there was a trace of excitement in her tone, “Lawyer Su, is it really possible.”

Su Bai continued to speak with a smile, “Of course not.”

“You have already reviewed the relevant evidentiary materials, this matter was reported to the relevant departments by the person in charge of Hailan Construction Industry Co., Ltd.”

“The content of the report was also very clear.”

“It was that Zhang Laidong illegally constructed the bridge and collected fees, and the evidence explained everything clearly.”

“In criminal law there indeed exists the crime of false accusation and frame up, but the premise of the crime of false accusation and frame up is that the content reported or evidenced by the other party is fabricated and false.”

“The content reported by Hailan Construction Industry Co., Ltd. was factually true and there was no fabricated or false content.”

“That is to say, it does not constitute any illegality, it can only be said that this company’s conduct is very unethical, it can be condemned from a moral perspective, but from a legal perspective there is indeed nothing that can be done.”

“Oh.”

“Alright Lawyer Su, I understand.”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously, her small face full of regret, and then she spoke again, “Lawyer Su, does this case need to be broadcast live during the court session.”

“If the court session is broadcast live, will the probability of our winning the case be somewhat greater.”

“Just like that infant formula case, that infant formula was extremely bad, and placing the charge of provoking trouble and stirring up disturbances on Zhang Laidong, I think is somewhat inappropriate.”

Su Bai looked at Li Xuezhen seriously.

Looking at Li Xuezhen’s clear eyes, after several seconds he nodded, “If the court session in this case is broadcast live, it can indeed be applied for.”

“After all, certain cases involving the charge of provoking trouble and stirring up disturbances are highly controversial.”

“However, even if an application is made, it may not necessarily be approved.”

“What if it is approved.”

Li Xuezhen blinked her eyes and looked at Su Bai.

Su Bai slightly smiled, “Then let us try.”

The first instance of Zhang Laidong’s case was heard at the Nanchuan County Court.

With respect to filing the second instance.

The second instance would be heard at the Linnan City Intermediate People’s Court.

Regarding dissatisfaction with the judgment of the first instance and the administrative penalty of the huge fine imposed by the relevant department.

Very quickly, Su Bai submitted the evidentiary materials for the appeal and the appeal claims.

At the same time, on the grounds that the administrative penalty fine violated the relevant penalty law, he also sued the penalty imposing unit Nanchuan County Water Management Station together before the Linnan City Intermediate People’s Court.

Moreover, on the grounds that this case had significance for legal publicity and education, he applied for live broadcasting of the court session.

The Linnan City Intermediate People’s Court was in the stage of acceptance and review regarding this case, and there was no reply for the time being regarding the application for live broadcasting of the court session.

Nandu University of Law.

Inside the office of the deputy dean of the law faculty.

Feng Lijian drank a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, the taste of this tea is quite good.”

“Xuezhen.”

“You are thoughtful, these several times when you came you even brought gifts for your teacher, the teacher is very gratified.”

Seeing the happy smile on Feng Lijian’s face, Li Xuezhen thought in her heart that these social customs and interpersonal considerations were indeed useful.

However.

After settling her small thoughts, Li Xuezhen smiled with narrowed eyes and spoke, “Teacher, I have something I would like to ask you.”

“What matter, say it, as long as the teacher can answer it, the teacher will certainly answer you.”

Feng Lijian spoke with a smile.

Li Xuezhen spoke with a smile, “Teacher, if a person did a good deed but violated legal provisions and was sentenced, do you think that is appropriate or not.”

Facing Li Xuezhen’s question, Feng Lijian remained silent for two seconds.

This question.

He truly found difficult to answer, especially when his own student asked him this question, because if he answered improperly it would certainly affect Li Xuezhen’s legal concepts to a certain extent.

After remaining silent for several seconds.

Feng Lijian slowly spoke, “This matter needs to be distinguished according to specific circumstances.”

“What must mainly be examined is whose lawful rights and interests were infringed in the course of this process.”

“If what he did was a good deed from the perspective of certain people but infringed upon the lawful rights and interests of others, I think this would be inappropriate, Xuezhen do you understand.”

Li Xuezhen’s small face nodded seriously and solemnly, “Teacher, I understand.”

“That is.”

“Teacher, I have something I would like to ask you to help with, it is like this, I have a friend, he accepted a case.”

“The course of the case is like this.”

“I would like to ask teacher whether in such a situation the application for live broadcasting of the court session can be successfully approved.”

This simple student junior and closed door disciple of his.

Since when had she learned to first suppress and then elevate.

First she asked him a question and then there was a friend.

Feng Lijian saw through Li Xuezhen’s small thoughts and smiled while shaking his head.

“The teacher also does not know.”

“However the teacher thinks that the conduct of the party concerned in this case indeed has no problem at all, this case should be able to win the litigation, there should not be any major problem.”

“Oh, alright teacher.”

“Teacher I understand.”

Li Xuezhen’s small face was somewhat dejected, and she did not know whether this approach of hers would bring trouble to the teacher.

Therefore she only asked indirectly.

Since the teacher had said so.

Then.

After thinking it through, although Li Xuezhen felt somewhat disappointed in her mood, she still smiled and nodded and left the office.

After Li Xuezhen walked out of the office, Feng Lijian smiled and shook his head without speaking.

Li Xuezhen did not directly make the request.

This showed that she was still rather considerate toward him.

However regarding this matter.

This also did not affect the lawful procedures, it was nothing more than some social customs and interpersonal considerations, lying within the ambiguous boundary between what could be done and what could not be done.

There was not any major impact.

He would just ask about it.

Regarding the litigation application for Zhang Laidong’s case, the Linnan City Intermediate People’s Court very quickly approved the appeal request submitted by Su Bai.

Moreover, due to the relevance of the court session, the request to revoke the administrative penalty of the Water Management Station and the litigation request regarding dissatisfaction with the first instance judgment were combined and heard together.

Furthermore, the application for live broadcasting of the court session was also approved.

This somewhat surprised Su Bai.

It was approved.

Originally he had thought that the application for live broadcasting of the court session would not be approved.

But now.

Seeing that Li Xuezhen was also somewhat stunned, Su Bai did not think too much about it.

It was good that it was approved.

As long as it did not violate regulations, opening the live broadcasting of the court session regarding the relevant procedural content was a good matter for them.

It could allow them to strive more for the lawful rights and interests of Zhang Laidong as the party concerned.

After receiving the information from the court.

Su Bai immediately contacted Luo Daxiang.

He hoped to rely on Luo Daxiang’s influence to expand the influence of this court session.

After hearing about this case, Luo Daxiang immediately agreed.

“The charge of provoking trouble and stirring up disturbances is indeed very inappropriate when used in this case.”

“Rest assured.”

“Actually according to what you said, I am also very interested in this case.”

“At that time, I will take a look.”

“Alright, then thank you Teacher Luo.”

Luo Daxiang spoke with a smile, “What is there to thank.”

“Then it is settled like this.”

After ending the call.

Su Bai let out a long breath, the court session had already completed acceptance, and next he needed to submit the materials of evidence and witnesses.

Witnesses.

Evidence.

This.

He did not know whether it would be easy to handle.

Nanchuan County, Menghui Village.

Both Zhang Laichun and Zhang Laidong were from this village.

The economic condition of this village was not very good.

Under the guidance of Zhang Laichun, Su Bai and Li Xuezhen.

Arrived at the place where the fees had originally been collected.

“Lawyer Su, the place in front here is where my elder brother originally constructed the bridge, at present the relevant departments are preparing to demolish it.”

Su Bai slightly nodded, “Then how did your elder brother collect fees here.”

After hearing Su Bai’s question, Zhang Laichun raised his arm to block the dazzling sunlight and then pointed to a certain location and spoke, “Sometimes my elder brother would be here waiting for people to come and then tell them that this bridge was built by himself and that passing required a fee of two yuan each time, if the other party’s family had difficulties or had urgent matters then they could also choose not to pay.”

“Usually when my elder brother was not here he did not manage it, or he would write a sign as a reminder, originally there was also an iron box here for voluntarily placing money, but now it is gone.”

“After a long time, some nearby people all knew about this matter and sometimes would themselves place money into the iron box for holding money, and my elder brother did not manage these matters too much.”

“Yes.”

“This has already been understood, let us continue the investigation.”

Su Bai nodded and conducted investigation visits in the village together with Li Xuezhen.

It could be clearly felt that nearby people did not have much objection to the matter of charging fees.

Most people were also voluntary.

Everyone’s evaluation regarding Zhang Laidong’s case was that they had never expected Zhang Laidong to be sentenced, he was a good person, he had paid a great deal for nearby villagers and spent a great deal of money, and up to now he had not yet recovered his costs, and he should not have been sentenced.

“What Zhang Laidong earned were completely his own hard earned funds, we can understand it, and it was all voluntary.”

Such evaluation contents.

After understanding everything.

Su Bai rubbed his brow and let out a long breath.

According to the contents of their investigation, Zhang Laidong’s reputation here was still very good.

Li Xuezhen also spoke softly, “Lawyer Su, it feels that the nearby people all have very good evaluations of Zhang Laidong.”

Su Bai slightly smiled and agreed with Li Xuezhen’s words.

“Indeed.”

However this was also a normal matter.

This matter itself was originally a good deed, for nearby villagers it greatly reduced the time of detouring.

Moreover.

Each time the charge was two yuan and the charge was not compulsory, if you thought it was worthwhile you paid, if you thought it was not worthwhile you did not pay, of course you could also completely choose to detour, it was entirely based on the principle of voluntariness.

Of course.

There would certainly also be people who were unwilling to pay in their hearts.

There were not few people who liked to take small advantages.

After conducting a general investigation and understanding the details on site and the relevant materials, Su Bai brought Li Xuezhen back to the law firm.

At present.

All preparatory work had already been completed, they only needed to wait for the court session to begin.

In addition.

The court summons also arrived at the Water Management Station.

When the Water Management Station received the court summons, they appeared somewhat astonished.

Dissatisfied with the fine.

After understanding the general situation according to the court summons.

Immediately.

They notified the relevant personnel and found a relevant lawyer and prepared to respond to the litigation.

At the same time.

Inside Hailan Construction Industry Co., Ltd., the person in charge Feng Zhengyuan, after learning that Zhang Laidong not only did not accept the judgment of the first instance but also carried out corresponding administrative litigation, let out a sneer.

“This Zhang Laidong does not understand the law and still privately constructed.”

“In the first instance he hired an incompetent lawyer and the judge already sentenced lightly considering that he had done a good deed.”

“Now he is preparing to file a second instance and still refuses to accept the administrative penalty.”

“I think he.”

“Has very pleasant fantasies all day long.”

After Feng Zhengyuan learned this news, he did not care at all.

In any case, the relevant departments had already handed the project over to him.

After some days that place would be demolished, and whether the litigation was won or lost had no relation to him.

It was enough that his objective had been achieved.

At the same time.

Luo Daxiang also carried out preliminary publicity on the internet regarding the situation of this case.

He generally described the situation of this case.

As a well known legal commentator, every time Luo Daxiang released an analysis of each case, it would attract considerable reposting and viewing.

Zhang Laidong’s case.

Obviously.

Also struck the hearts of the broad masses of the public on the internet and therefore triggered heated discussion on the internet.

It should not have been judged like this, what Zhang Laidong did was clearly a good deed, why was it judged like this.

Yes, I do not understand.

Indeed, I also think that this punishment is somewhat severe, although it is only six months, the impact on his children is very great, and moreover with this criminal record in the future it will not be easy to find employment.

The discussions on the internet were almost entirely one sided.

All were supporting Zhang Laidong.

Seeing this situation, Luo Daxiang carried out a certain degree of popularization regarding the crime of provoking trouble and stirring up disturbances.

Then he again made a statement, “Regarding the issues of this case, they will be resolved during the second instance.”

“The specific situation still needs to be judged according to the situation at that time during the second instance.”

Very quickly, the day of the court session also approached.

The court notified all parties to arrive on time.

When receiving the court’s notification, Su Bai looked at the highly rated comments under Luo Daxiang’s video and slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.

Everything was prepared, this case had finally reached the court session.

“Let out a breath.”

The court session begins, strike them hard!
