The court in Bate City is somewhat modeled on the eastern region of the empire.
Sitting high on the judge's bench was the powerful Lord Luo City.
Four white flag councilors were sitting in the jury box. The ones Lu Ming had never seen were Economic Luo and Dajun Luo.
In the age of cold weapons, the Luo family in the army was the most brave and good at fighting. The traditional skill of the Eagle-eyed Luo family was scouting, and their ancestor was a scout.
But now, the Hawkeye Luo family is the most powerful.
The Luo family of the Grand Army is old-fashioned. When firearms were first introduced to the Western Regions, they fought bare-armed against the musketeers of Bailu City. Many of their brave sons died in battle, leaving no trace of their blood. This may be the reason why the Luo family of the Grand Army today is generally not as strong as their ancestors.
.
Economic Luo's little head and fat body look a bit funny.
After all, Da Junluo was the head of the family. Although he was in his fifties or sixties, he had a loud voice and a very strong body.
Only yellow flag members and blue flag members are allowed to enter the gallery.
This case is quite sensational. The chieftain family is not too confused or decadent, and they also vaguely understand the implications.
Although all small and medium-sized chieftains know that they cannot be in favor with Mayor Lu from the East or Fila Oil from the imperial capital, they still need to participate in big events.
The auditorium was full.
In this court, Lu Ming also saw Tu Gou and Ha Shan for the first time.
Because Fila Petroleum controlled these two witnesses and the victim extremely tightly, and others could not access them at all.
A native dog has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a face similar to that of a monkey. Its small eyes turn around, making it look like a cunning person at first glance.
As Liu Laocai said, Ha Shan is indeed not very beautiful, and her face is a bit old. In Donghai, she would be the kind of country woman in her forties or fifties. She even has faintly colored hair at the temples.
Moreover, when she answered Charles' questions, she seemed so simple and gentle.
The look she looked at Liu Laocai was complicated, with a hint of hatred.
Originally looking at her, Lu Ming nodded, feeling that this was the good match Liu Laocai needed.
But seeing the hatred in her eyes, Lu Ming's expression gradually became serious.
Ha Shan's hatred for Liu Laocai could not escape the eyes of Charles' legal team.
Therefore, his team of lawyers seemed very relaxed. After all, the evidence was solid. Even ordinary lawyers would not be able to see anyone if they lost this fight, let alone one from the largest law firm in the imperial capital.
Both Western and Central Asian are the official languages of the empire. Charles even made a joke. Before asking Ha Shan a question, he said to Lu Ming: "Lawyer Lu, I know that your cultural level is not high. You are self-taught and don't understand Griffin."
Ni language, so I’ll let you and I’ll ask questions in Zhongzhou dialect!”
It made the whole crowd laugh.
As expected, Charles spoke the entire process in Central Asian, and the translator relayed the testimonies of Hashan and Tugou in Central Asian.
However, after just starting to guide witnesses to testify, Charles took action personally. The assistant lawyers in his legal team found it incredible that the boss paid too much attention to Lu Qianxing, right?
Throughout the afternoon, Witness No. 1 Ha Shan and Witness No. 2 Tugou testified, and Charles guided them to tell the facts of the case that day.
It's not just the White Flag MPs who are shaking their heads.
Even the chieftains in the auditorium were filled with indignation and shouted angrily from time to time.
"Kill him!"
"Cut off his fat head!"
Even if Hashan is just a lowly commoner, being raped by a foreigner is still a great shame for them.
Lu Ming basically didn't stand up to ask questions, but just listened quietly.
Next to Lu Ming, the assistant was a randomly selected affairs officer in a blue dress. For the first time, the little girl sat side by side with the boss behind a table. She was extremely excited. As for the roars of those savages, she was so excited that she didn't even think about it.
aware.
Next to the affairs officer was Liu Laocai, with an earthy face, frightened by the fierce and menacing aura of the natives.
…
The next morning, the trial continued.
After the court session, Lu Ming stood up and said: "Your Honor, I request to summon Witness No. 1 Ha Shan."
The list of witnesses prepared by Lu Ming was as usual a large number, including the neighbors of Ha Shan and Tu Gou, including the couple who planned to seduce Liu Laocai, and even included Ji Luo, and Ji Luo, the security officer of the guard station.
and a dozen city patrol soldiers were put on the witness list.
On Richard's side, there were only two witnesses, Witness No. 1, the victim Ha Shan, and Witness No. 2 Tugou.
After hearing what Lu Ming said, Richard stood up immediately, "I request to summon witness No. 7 Jingjie, who is a witness for the defense." He then said: "Your honor, the defense did not cross-examine witness No. 1 yesterday, so I
Requests to summon new witnesses have priority, not to mention that the witnesses I request to summon are witnesses for the defense."
Zhongquan Luo nodded: "Witness No. 7 came to court to testify."
Thorns is the beautiful woman who seduces Liu Laocai every day.
After going to court, under cross-examination by Richard, the woman described Liu Laocai's character as extremely bad. He often stared at her like a hungry wolf and made her very scared. He also drank her wine and secretly gave her valuables.
Gifts and the like.
She also said that Liu Laocai wanted to do something wrong with her that night, but she slapped him in the face.
Therefore, this evil fire must have been vented on poor Ha Shan.
In the auditorium, there was a buzz of chaos from time to time, and some people even threw stones at Liu Laocai.
"Your Honor, fellow jurors, I want to make it clear that Thorns is a witness for the defense!" After Richard finished speaking, he shook his head and walked back to the prosecutor's seat.
The members of his legal team all looked at Lu Ming with gloating eyes.
The boss said that this guy has a habit of stuffing many unnecessary people into the witness list to hide his true intentions.
But Jingji was originally his own witness No. 3. After seeing her name in the other party's witness list, the boss removed this witness No. 3 from the witness list.
Fight fire with fire and beat you with your witnesses.
People who don’t know the truth will naturally think that your witnesses have said this, so why are you still making excuses?
Now, you have only one way out: apply to the court to label your witness as a hostile witness, and then attack her confession.
Not to mention tiredness, the jury's impression of you is even more difficult to describe.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although, the jury here is just decoration.
He even knew how to sentence himself and others, two to two? In the end, City Lord Luo would have the final say to convict Liu Shoufu.
"Your Honor, I have no questions to ask Witness No. 7. I request to summon Witness No. 1." Lu Ming stood up again.
Richard's legal team is even more ridiculous, so why give up now?
You also know that rushing to attack the character of Witness No. 7, such as seducing Liu Laocai, will be counterproductive and will only make people think you are quibbling, right?
Richard's eyes flashed with a strange color as he stared at Lu Ming and pondered.
He had fought against Lu Ming, so naturally his assistants would not be so optimistic.
Ha Shan timidly sat on the witness stand again.
Lu Ming walked up and looked at her. After a while, he asked lightly: "Have you heard of me?"
Hearing what the translator said, Ha Shan shook his head slightly.
Lu Ming smiled and pointed at the prosecutor's seat, "Don't look at the menace of people like Richard. There are a lot of people, and they are very imposing, right? I understand that you are afraid of them. But in my eyes, they are just rustic."
Just a chicken and a dog! Just that one, that seemingly great person, was beaten to a disgrace by me and returned to his hometown in disgrace." The direction of the finger was towards Richard.
Richard's face was as dark as water. The assistant beside him had already stood up and objected righteously.
Lu Ming added: "So what about Phila Oil? The mercenaries I brought annihilated his two camps, just like crushing an ant colony!"
Lu Ming insisted on using his own translation when asking questions, so Luo Yi translated these words very straightforwardly.
Richard couldn't sit still anymore and had to stand up.
Zhongquan Luo has already banged the gavel, "Lawyer Lu Qianxing, what exactly do you want to say?"
Lu Ming turned around and smiled at Chongquan Luo: "I just want to eliminate some of the uneasiness in the witness's heart, so that I can guide her to tell the truth."
Zhongquan Luo frowned, "I don't think so, Lawyer Lu Qianxing, if you continue to intimidate witnesses like this, I will declare the case over and I will formally make a ruling."
Lu Ming looked at him and nodded: "Actually, you little city lord, if I really want you to step down, you can't sit in this position for three more seconds."
Luo Yi translated by himself.
Zhongquan Luo immediately turned pale with anger and banged the gavel. He wanted to say something, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "This is my last warning." After hesitation, he finally did not dare to expel the Donghai dignitary in front of him from the court.
Then directly sentence Liu Laocai to death.
Ha Shan stared at this scene in bewilderment, looking at the beautiful girl who should be a native like himself. She was wearing strange clothes, but she was even more arrogant. She stood in the court and directly threatened the lord of the city who was as high as the sky.
The city lord looked so angry that he was so frightened that he just wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy right now.
But in the end, the city lord did nothing but gave another verbal warning.
Lu Ming looked at Ha Shan and smiled, "Ms. Ha Shan, you have never registered your property with Mr. Tugou, right?"
Ha Shan nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Then, in fact, according to the Bobbitt Code, you and Mr. Tugou do not have a marriage relationship."
Ha Shan was a little confused, shook his head and said: "I, I don't know."
Many civilians live like this.
Richard had already stood up, "Objection, this is a de facto marriage."
Lu Ming smiled at him: "Mr. Richard, this is Bate City. The place where we are standing is the Bate City court. So, do you want to use the laws of the East China Sea to judge the affairs here, or use local regulations?"
Richard smiled: "Of course it's local law!" He reached for a piece of paper and said, "Lawyer Lu, look at it. Do you think the laws of this country do not recognize de facto marriage? You are wrong!"
The members of his legal team were all smiling. They were obviously well prepared and the boss had already guessed that the defense would hit this point.
If it is an unmarried woman who is raped, the thugs will be less guilty and will not be beheaded. Moreover, they are more afraid that this witness will retract his confession.
Since you are not married, there is no adultery.
If a married woman recants her confession and says that the other party did not rape her and that she was willing, the two of them are guilty of adultery and may even be stoned to death.
But if they are unmarried and witness No. 1 recants their confession, their guilt will be even smaller.
Lu Qianxing would definitely try to stay single, as his boss had already expected him.
I waited by myself and started working on the train. Under the instructions of my boss, I did a lot of homework and everything was clearly arranged for Lu Qianxing.
Over there, Lu Ming took the piece of paper that Richard's affairs officer ran up to deliver and looked down.
Richard smiled and said: "One hundred and fifty-seven years ago, the powerful city lord Luo of this country once ruled that a woman's escape was an escape from marriage, and she was immersed in the river and drowned. The relationship between the woman and her husband was just like the relationship between witness No. 1 and
Witness No. 2, and they only lived together for three years, the marriage was deemed valid. Witness No. 1 and Witness No. 2 have lived together for more than ten years. According to this case, they should be considered to have a de facto marriage relationship!"
Lu Ming shook his head and looked at Zhongquan Luo, "The city lord from one hundred and fifty-seven years ago, whose posthumous name was Xiong, was your great-great-grandfather's father, right?"
Richard was slightly startled. Lu Qianxing, does he know about this precedent? Then why should he be considered unmarried?
What's wrong with this guy?
At the judge's bench, Zhongquan Luo frowned immediately after hearing Lu Ming's words. Indeed, the city lord was his great-grandfather's grandfather, that is, his great-great-grandfather's father.
However, that ancestor actually did a lot of ridiculous things and provoked a civil uprising, which gave him a very bad reputation. Originally, there were only three White Flag members at that time, and they were all from his own family branch. Then, after the civil war, there were four White Flag members.
The status of councilors and city lords is also much lower than before.
Therefore, the ancestor’s posthumous name is the bear, which is considered the ugliest animal in the local area.
Lu Ming turned to Richard again, "Lawyer Richard, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of the laws of the Western Regions. In fact, the laws of many city-states in the Western Regions focus on written documents rather than precedents. Previous precedents, let alone
Authoritative, even if it has no reference significance at all, Bate City is exactly such a city-state."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nonsense!" Richard frowned.
Many lawyers from my law firm have come to the Western Regions to litigate cases, and it is common for them to learn from case law.
Lu Ming smiled: "That's the fact, Lawyer Richard. It may be because most city-states in the Western Region respect the authority of you and your law firm, so no one has refuted you before."
"Furthermore, because our Kingdom of Grifenni is so powerful, almost all lawyers have accepted the education of previous cases from the first law class, and believe that these are universal truths and legal principles that are taken for granted. Therefore, almost no lawyers
People would think that there are still legal systems in this world that do not value precedents."
Indeed, if I had not experienced it in my previous life, but had grown up in the East China Sea and been involved in its legal circles, I would not have felt that there was another reasonable legal system.
Lu Ming shook his head as he spoke: "Lawyer Richard, many of our lawyers are too arrogant and will not study the essence of other confederacy's laws at all, but I never thought that you are one of them."
He added: "The late Lord Xiong City actually did a lot of ridiculous things, and the cases he judged were considered to be more ridiculous than wise. How can you take it as the truth? Thank you for finding this one
Judgment, but don’t know much about his personality?”
Richard frowned and looked at Chongquan Luo. Seeing his embarrassed look, he knew that Lu Ming was right.
Looking at his team of lawyers, the smiles on the faces of the assistants had long since froze, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
Lu Ming added: "Although the Bobbit Code is a thousand-year-old law, since it has not been abolished, it is the supreme code of this country. It clearly requires both parties to the marriage to legally register before they can obtain the protection of the Blood Dragon God."
"Lawyer Richard, you must not know what kind of god the Blood Dragon God is. In fact, it is similar to the legendary Guanyin that gives birth to children in the legend of us Middle-earth people."
"So, what the code says, it also implies that if a man and a woman have not registered their property, even if they live together for ten thousand years, they will not be protected by the Dragon God and will not have legal heirs. In other words, the two parties are not in a legal relationship as husband and wife.
"
As Lu Ming spoke, he looked at Zhongquan Luo: "City Lord, according to the code, Ha Shan is an unmarried woman, right? Or does the City Lord think that the Bobbitt Code is no longer authoritative?"
Zhongquan Luo's face turned blue and white. He looked at the chieftains who were gradually quieting down in the auditorium, and finally nodded: "Yes, Lawyer Lu is right. According to the laws of this country, Ha Shan is an unmarried civilian."
If the authority of the Bobbitt Code is not recognized, the extremely conservative and paranoid chieftains are afraid that they will riot immediately.
"Your Honor, I ask for an adjournment and we will continue in the afternoon!" Richard stood up again.
"There is still enough time, I hope the trial will continue!" Lu Ming pointed to the clock on the wall with a smile, "It's only past eleven now."
In February, near the city-state of Bate, it doesn't get dark until eight or nine o'clock, and the court opens at ten o'clock, and lunch is usually at two or three o'clock.
Richard bowed slightly to Chongquan Luo: "Sir, I just came here, and I'm not used to day and night. In my hometown, it's lunch time now. I didn't eat anything in the morning, and now I'm very hungry."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, hunger is a problem. Let's do this. I have bread to provide to lawyer Richard. I think it is okay to adjourn the court for ten minutes. Although, my inquiry has been interrupted.
It's very unreasonable." As he spoke, Lu Ming looked at Zhong Quanluo, "Your honor, I hope you can uphold justice."
Zhongquan Luo glanced at Richard and the others, probably never dreaming that Donghailu, the lawyer, had been listening to the plaintiff's fierce accusations all yesterday afternoon and seemed powerless.
But he didn't expect that when he really stood up to speak, Fila Petroleum, which was said to have paid a lot of money to hire the empire's legendary team of lawyers who are best at handling criminal cases, was directly suppressed by him and had no power to fight back, and could only rely on adjournment.
Steady ground.
There is even nothing I can do. If I don't follow Lawyer Lu's ideas and admit that he is right, I am afraid that most of the three-color congressmen present will stand up and directly rebel against themselves.
"Adjourn the court for ten minutes!" Zhongquan Luo banged the gavel hard.
…
Temporary rest room.
Richard was losing his temper and just threw a thick stack of files on the ground.
Ha Shan and the native dog were so frightened that they trembled in the corner.
The lawyers were even more silent.
Although Richard did express his temper at the assistant lawyers, the more important thing was to scare the monkeys. He turned to look at Hasan and Tugou, and was about to speak.
There was a sudden noise outside, and then the door was pushed open, and Lu Mingshi walked in. Richard's affairs officer and bodyguard who were blocking the door were pushed aside by several burly men.
"What are you doing?!" Richard's face suddenly sank.
Lu Ming smiled: "Nothing, I'll bring you bread. In addition, according to local regulations, it doesn't say that lawyers from both sides are not allowed to visit during the adjournment, right? Of course, you can file a complaint with Chongquan Luo after the trial is over, maybe
, I will be fined 10 yuan? 50 yuan?" As he said that, he threw a paper bag in his hand on the table.
Richard's face was as dark as water, "Lu Qianxing, I used to respect you..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I have lost respect for you since Renault's lawsuit was a child. I remember I told you this a long time ago."
Richard nodded slowly, sat back in his chair slowly, and looked at Lu Ming with a cold look in his eyes.
Perhaps, from this moment on, he had regarded the arrogant and domineering young man in front of him as his real mortal enemy.
Lu Ming was completely unaware, leaning against the wall, twirling his fingers and playing with them with his eyes.
There was silence in the room.
Those assistant lawyers really didn't know how to react.
Now, I deeply realize that this Lu Qianxing is really on the same level as Richard. Moreover, he behaves erratically and is eating up Richard to death.
The clock on the wall was ticking.
Richard suddenly smiled, tore open the paper bag, took out the bread and ate it.
The assistant lawyers looked at this scene in surprise.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "It's time."
Lu Ming smiled and stood up straight against the wall, "Okay, Lawyer Richard seems to have filled his stomach. I went to the powerful Lord Luo to ask for this bread. I haven't opened it yet. It should taste good."
Right? There can't be impurities or someone drugged it, right? Lawyer Richard, if you get upset later, I'm going to have a serious breakup with Chongquan Luo. Could it be that he is working with you and wants to kill me?"
Richard snorted coldly, "The heart of a villain!"
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
…
In the court, because Lu Ming had not finished asking questions, Ha Shan sat on the witness stand again.
Lu Ming walked to the witness stand and bowed slightly to Zhongquan Luo. "Your honor, this court recognizes the authority of Bobbitt's Code. This is good. However, before that, I request that Hasha, the native dog, be pardoned."
The crime of living together without marriage is a crime in the Bobbitt Code. I heard that it was a custom two hundred years ago that if you lived together without marriage, all your property would be confiscated. However, in recent decades, because the Four City Guards were relatively lax, many of them
People no longer register their property, but secretly give some benefits to the guards, so as to avoid being levied fair property fees. Speaking of which, this is also caused by the indulgence of several generations of the city lord's ancestors, so I hope this court will forgive me.
At the same time, we will pardon the sins of all the unmarried people living together in this city, and give them a few days to go to the four city guards to register."
Zhongquan Luo nodded: "Tonight, this city will issue an amnesty order." The law does not blame everyone. Originally, Zhongquan Luo was still having a headache about this matter, but Lawyer Lu happened to give him a chance.
Lu Ming nodded: "The city lord is very open-minded and believes that Bate City will be extremely prosperous in the future."
Zhongquan Luo didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably relieved to be praised by this extremely arrogant young powerful man from the East.
Moreover, Lawyer Lu and Mayor Lu now feel completely different from when they first met him.
On the contrary, it was Richard and his legal team, why... Well, I can only say that the strongest among the strongest.
Lu Ming walked to the witness box, looked at Ha Shan, and smiled: "Miss Ha Shan, you are an unmarried woman now, so you have complete freedom. Even if you marry Mr. Liu Shoufu, no one can interfere. Moreover,
Don't worry, after you marry Mr. Liu Shoufu, I promise to protect the safety of you two. No one will persecute you if there is a chance. Do you believe me?"
Luo Yi was translating beside him.
Richard had already stood up suddenly, "Objection, what the defendant's defense lawyer said has nothing to do with this case!"
Lu Ming smiled slightly at Hashan: "Don't pay attention to him at all. As I said, he is a local chicken and a wag."
Ha Shan was dumbfounded and confused. Apparently he had no idea what was going on. What did the lawyer mean when he suddenly said these words to him.
But since the court started this morning, from his attitude towards the people of the Imperial City, his attitude towards the city lord, and his arrogance in going to the resting room of the Imperial City people during the break in the court hearing.
There is no doubt that he is not bragging, he is indeed a powerful man.
Even the lofty and heavenly city lord was pointed at and scolded by his native maid, and he only dared to give a verbal warning.
Lu Ming looked at Ha Shan and said slowly: "Now, I ask you, you only need to answer me, are you willing to marry Mr. Liu Shoufu? Even if he ends up being jailed for rape, I think he will
I won’t blame you. You know how he treats you. So, even if he is convicted, will you marry him? He is about to be sent to the guillotine, waiting to be beheaded. Are you willing, as his wife, to marry him?
Will he see him off? Send him the last meal, let him eat well and go on the road. This is the most sacred ceremony before death for us people in Middle-earth!"
Richard had already stood up, "Objection, Witness No. 1 does not need to answer this question at all, because even if Witness No. 1 retracts his confession, the crime of rape has already existed objectively. If Witness No. 1 retracts his confession, we will charge Witness No. 1 with perjury."
!”
But after listening to Lu Ming's words and seeing Zhongquan Luo's expression of not knowing what he was thinking, Richard frowned slightly and sat down.
"So, are you willing to be the one who sends Liu Shoufu, a lonely ghost, on his last journey?" Lu Ming asked Ha Shan softly, "For that bouquet of flowers? Or that ray of light?"
With tears in her eyes, Ha Shan looked at Liu Laocai, who was sitting in a daze with a pale face in the dock.
She suddenly nodded vigorously: "I do!...I do! I, I don't want him to die either!"
Lying on the witness stand, he burst into tears.
Lu Ming could understand what she was saying without Luo Yi translating.
Turning around, Lu Ming looked at Zhongquan Luo, "Your Honor, I now ask you to pardon Liu Shoufu for the crime of rape and allow Mr. Liu Shoufu and Ms. Hashan to get married, because according to Bobbitt's Orchard Hadith, when a man forcibly asks for
If the woman is willing to marry him afterwards and he agrees to marry him, then there is no crime! In other words, the crime of rape and annihilation should be forgiven."
"Although some of the hadiths of the sages of Bobbitt were not written into the Bobbitt code, various stories circulated locally reflect the great wisdom contained in the hadiths!"
"The first sentence in the opening chapter of Bobbitt's code is that the hadith is the law! It is even more clear that every hadith passed down by the sages of Bobbitt has legal effect."
Some chieftains, big and small, in the auditorium have already agreed. They are all conservatives and attach great importance to the Hadith.
Lu Ming continued: "Now, Miss Ha Shan has agreed to marry Mr. Liu Shoufu, and my client, Mr. Liu Shoufu, is single in Donghai. His wife has passed away a long time ago. He is willing to marry Miss Ha Shan. Therefore, your honor, I request
You immediately dismiss the charges against Mr. Liu Shoufu!"
Richard's legal team has already exploded, and they are all studying what is going on. Some are flipping through books, and some are arguing with each other.
Richard said nothing and just sat quietly.
Zhongquan Luo hesitated for a moment, but looked at the messy and headless team of Richard's lawyers, shook his head, picked up the gavel and knocked hard, "This case is withdrawn! Withdraw from court!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Laocai opened his eyes suddenly, almost thinking he was dreaming.
Unlike in Donghai, when the lawsuit was won, no one gave him a warm hug. Only Luo Yi took Ha Shan's hand and led Ha Shan to Liu Laocai.
The chieftains in the auditorium were a little surprised to hear that Liu Laocai was still single and willing to marry Ha Shan.
Looking at Ha Shan, she is just a lowly peasant woman, but she will become the wife of a wealthy businessman from the East China Sea? It is simply unbelievable.
Richard walked up to Lu Ming, his eyes filled with contempt.
"These terrible and ridiculous bad habits? You have also studied them, brought them up in court, and confirmed their rationality in court. Do you know what you are doing? Do you know how many women there will be in this city-state in the future, because of you?
Do you encounter a hellish nightmare because of your competitive spirit?"
"Although I lost, I am very calm and I am proud of it! And you, after returning to Donghai, can you still sleep well? If you can, then I admire you!"
"When the news spreads back to the civilized world, I think, even if I lose, I will face it with my head held high; if you win, you will be criticized verbally and in writing by the conscientious media!"
Richard sneered.
Lu Ming looked at him calmly: "Take back your hypocrisy! If you lose the lawsuit, you have to stand on the moral high ground and seek self-comfort. Don't you think you are very pathetic?"
"Although I can't tell you, what I can tell you is that things will change here. The chieftains who are applauding this verdict will soon discover that this is not the restoration of the old tradition as they imagined, but a new era.
The beginning of!”
"An eagle and a sparrow never have an intimate conversation, so, Lawyer Richard, I think our conversation can end."
"In addition, in this lawsuit, you did not lose because of some ugly stereotypes that you don't understand and are not willing to understand, but because you never really understood your client and did not know your client at all.
Shan, what is in her best interest."
"You just want to defeat me and wash away your shame. You even want to send my client to the guillotine and get a generous reward. Therefore, it is inevitable that you will lose the case."
After saying that, Lu Ming spread his hands and said, "Well, let's see you next time?"
Richard stared at Lu Ming, nodded, turned around and walked out.
Looking at his back, Lu Ming let out a long breath.
To be honest, if it weren't for my previous world, which is already in the 21st century, and there are still such ridiculous and terrible laws in some places, it would be difficult for me to find even a few clues from those hadiths, and then understand that hadith.
What does it mean.
No matter how strong Richard's legal team is, even if the Hadith is placed in front of them, they will not be able to imagine the mystery inside.
These stereotypes and customs have actually always existed in nearby city-states, but they have never been brought to court, nor do they need to be brought to court.
The tribunals of the city lords of several nearby city-states that enforced the Bobbitt Code and had such stereotyped practices originally knew that such laws were not popular, so they would not hear such cases and kept them private.
Today, I have pierced this layer of window paper.
The conservatives still applauded and thought they would dream back to the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing them all clapping around him in a friendly manner, Lu Ming also smiled and regarded it as the honor he deserved as a gravedigger.
