Wang Da'an is bleeding heavily today. The place where he invited me to eat is called Yoshikawa Food, which is an Oriental cuisine.
Although the shop is obviously owned by a Central Asian, the decoration style and the costumes of the waiters are all in the Oriental style. The round windows, low couches, and the simple layout of the private rooms with clear lines are very authentic Oriental style.
The Japanese people, also known as the Yingzhou people, are the second largest federation of the Federal Empire. The Yingzhou Kingdom was once a vassal state of the Zhongzhou Dynasty like the Westerners. Thousands of years ago, the Yingzhou Kingdom cooperated with the outside world and stabbed the Zhongzhou Dynasty and the Westerners in the back.
Together, they destroyed the Central Continent Dynasty.
Of course, this legend still exists in the unofficial history of the four northern provinces. In the southern states and provinces, this period of history has long been forgotten.
Although the empire now has laws that allow all races to be equal and prosper together, each federal body has also maintained a large degree of autonomy.
But in fact, within the empire, various groups still have insurmountable barriers. The Westerners have the highest status, followed by the Yingzhou people, the Zhongzhou people in the third place, the Westerners of the Western Free City-State Alliance in the fourth place, and the Southern Brave Emirates collection of
Nanyang people have the lowest status.
The Kingdom of Yingzhou is located on the eastern coastal archipelago, so the Yingzhou people are also called Oriental people.
The status of each ethnic group is also reflected in their cultural identity. For example, for Central Asians, Oriental cuisine is an expensive commodity.
Now Lu Ming, Wang Daan, Chen Qinghua, and Jiji are sitting on their knees on the soft couch in the elegant room. There are mostly raw seafood on the low wooden table.
Beiguan is near the sea. The price of local seafood is not high, but the price of Oriental cuisine is relatively high. For example, salmon sashimi. The local salmon retails for 1 dime per catty, but the thin slices of fish in this sashimi may only cost 23 taels.
The selling price is 5 cents.
This table of dishes costs about 4 yuan, which is very luxurious for working-class people.
It was the first time for Jiji to eat the Japanese food in Lu Ming's eyes. Her eyes were shining, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart for fear of being looked down upon. She never forgot to take care of the meal and help Lu Ming and Wang Daan pour tea.
The person who delivered the water took good care of him, and the little girl got up from time to time to get Lu Ming condiments and the like. The pair of slender black silk legs under the dark blue uniform skirt attracted Chen Qinghua to take a peek from time to time.
"Japan's food is said to be hygienic and healthy, and it is good for the body! It is indeed light and easy to eat!" Wang Da'an looked envious, "Our ancestors did not have such knowledge."
Lu Ming smiled, picked up the water and took a sip. Although it seemed that the ancestors of Zhongzhou had a longer history of eating sashimi, after all, it was just a side dish, and the staple food still had to be steamed. From the perspective of ancient hygienic conditions, it was
the best choice.
But there is no need to engage in verbal disputes here, it is just a useless effort.
"Lawyer Wang, I disagree with your words..." Chen Qinghua suddenly raised his head and did not glance at Jiji's black silk stockings.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wang Daan was stunned.
"What's wrong with our ancestors? We Zhongzhou people have a population of tens of millions. Do the Orientals have the same? If their diet is healthier, why are their populations not as large as ours?" Chen Qinghua scratched his neck, and the young man took a shot of chicken blood.
generally.
"Yingzhou is a small island with few products and its population is certainly not as good as ours!" Wang Da'an laughed dumbly, "You are too young and too naive. It seems like it is a big mistake to say something bad about our ancestors. This is an objective fact.
Why do I seem to have forgotten my ancestors when I came here?"
"Our ancestors are not good, so they have been oppressing Westerners and Asians for thousands of years? What were they back then? Barbarians! One is a greedy white-skinned person, and the other is a capricious villain!" Chen Qinghua stared wide-eyed.
His eyes were pierced, as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"Stop talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense after reading some unofficial history!" Wang Da'an looked around and his face became nervous, "Where did you get the banned book? Burn it quickly!"
Chen Qinghua also knew that he had made a mistake, and shook his head quickly, "I, I heard other people's nonsense..." He picked up the wine cup, poured it into his mouth, and then coughed heavily.
Wang Daan looked at him and said to himself that such a dangerous person should be fired, otherwise it would cause big trouble to the law firm.
But in reality, although Chen Qinghua is an employee of a law firm and he is one of the two bosses, Chen Qinghua's salary is paid by Lawyer Lu, so it is difficult for him to propose to fire him.
Lu Ming looked at Chen Qinghua and thought that it was rare for the younger generation to remain respectful and proud of their ancestors without being overwhelmed by Western culture.
"Brother Wang, I see you have taken on a lot of cases recently? Is there anything new?" Lu Ming asked with a smile, changing the topic.
"There's nothing else..." Wang Daan hesitated, "There's just a murder case, which is a bit troublesome."
Murder case? Lu Ming was startled for a moment. It stands to reason that when the court assigns legal aid cases, it still depends on the lawyer's ability. Wang Daan's reputation and status in the Beiguan legal circle means that even if legal aid cases are filed, murder cases should not be assigned to him.
.
"The main reason is that the other party does not agree to the plea agreement and must go to court. However, my client is determined not to admit that he committed rape and murder. He will be sentenced to the gallows. How could he agree?"
Wang Daan sighed: "If I go to court and lose the case, if I deduct another 10 points, I'm afraid my lawyer license will be revoked."
Wang Daan's assessment score is minus 87 points. If he loses a lawsuit, he will be deducted 10 points. With minus 97 points, he is only one step away from having his lawyer license revoked.
The lawyer assessment score is based on 300, which is increased by three times.
A score of minus 100-300 is a junior defender; a score of 300-900 is an intermediate defender; a score of 900-2700 is a senior defender, and so on, with new lawyer levels being approved every summer.
Because scores are relatively dangerous, Wang Daan never goes to court when he files lawsuits. He always resolves them in court. Legal aid cases are all about providing legal advice.
Then came the mid-year assessment day. He had worked hard this year and received a lot of legal aid. He would receive extra points in the comprehensive assessment and be able to get out of the danger zone.
But he didn't expect that he would now be charged with a serious crime that required him to go to court.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, maybe we will win? I'll help you look for doubts later."
Wang Daan smiled bitterly, "Forget it, don't drag you into this. This time the prosecution lawyer is hired from outside, not the prosecutor. He is hired from outside for our biggest case in Beiguan."
Lu Ming was startled, "Liu Hanxuan? No way, he personally took action?"
"That's him..." A wry smile appeared on Wang Daan's face, "It seems that he will have a perfect ending. After the summer, he will advance to the fourth stage."
Liu Hanhuan, the assessment is divided into 2697 points. He is now a third-level advocate. As long as he gets 4 points and exceeds 2700 points before the Bar Association assesses the new lawyer level in the summer, he can advance to the fourth level after the summer.
Duan, senior lawyer.
"I want to get the last drop of blood from you and harvest your head..." Lu Ming smiled, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Actually, you want to harvest mine, right?"
Wang Daan didn't understand that Lu Ming was talking about game terms, but he agreed with his bloody description, "Qianxing, don't interfere, this matter is over, let Liu Hanxuan vent his anger, and he won't stare at us in the future.
Already."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "If you want to vent your anger, wouldn't it be better to harvest mine? In this way, after dinner, I will go back and look at the case files." Seeing that Wang Daan still wanted to persuade him, Lu Ming said solemnly: "Brother Wang, leave it to me.
Let me tell you, your score is too dangerous, and it was me who caused the incident. I let him vent his anger, so that he can relieve his anger and won't find trouble with us in the future, right?"
Wang Daan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, you are right."
This young partner scored more than 31 points in the assessment. If he loses, he will be deducted 10 points, which is nothing. In this way, the holiday with Liu Hanxuan Law Firm is over, which is good.
Jiji listened to the conversation between the two and breathed a sigh of relief. My cousin drank too much yesterday and was crying and making trouble. This case tortured my cousin quite a lot, but he couldn't beat three farts with one stick.
With that kind of character, he keeps everything in his heart.
Although the big boss is young, he seems to be much more powerful than his cousin. With the big boss helping him, he should be fine, right?
Jiji secretly glanced at the young boss.
Once my cousin fails to become a lawyer, he will be driven back to the countryside where cow dung is everywhere. After these days of life, if he thinks about going back to the past, he would rather commit suicide!
