Lu Xun once said that when people are peeing, their minds are most relaxed and most suitable for thinking.
This simple lawsuit really made things difficult for Zhang Fei.
But the difficulty was not that he had not considered whether the lawsuit was difficult to fight, but that he found that he had gradually deviated from his professionalism.
In his original plan, he took over the Fan Family Bookstore just to make money, not to hoe the strong, help the weak, and uphold justice. That was what a thief would do.
He also thought he had always been like this.
However, when this lawsuit was placed in front of him, he suddenly realized that his original idea had changed.
In his mind, result justice becomes the first priority, not money or procedural justice.
Some things can deceive others, but you cannot deceive yourself.
This is very inappropriate.
Why is this happening?
This is actually a very scary thing.
He himself is also thinking seriously about this issue.
Was it infected by Xu Zhiqian?
Obviously not.
He may have some scruples, but it won't make him change his entire way of thinking.
In the evening, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian took a carriage together and left the Bianjing Law Firm.
"Are you angry?"
Xu Zhiqian saw that Zhang Fei was in a very low mood and was silent, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Zhang Fei glanced at her and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Xu Zhiqian curled her lips and muttered: "How could it have nothing to do with me."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and explained: "I actually could have kept you from knowing, but the reason why I told you the truth at that time was because..."
"It's because you want me to stop you, right?" Xu Zhiqian said anxiously.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "But I shouldn't have thought that way."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why? I think you have made progress."
"Get better." Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "Litigation is not about killing people for money, nor is it about coercion and inducement. It is about talking about the law and reasoning. If you can go to court, it proves that there is indeed a dispute here, and you cannot use force.
Judgment is based on weakness. Just like when I helped Cao Yanei with his lawsuit, even if Lin Fei was innocent, I had to try my best to help Cao Yanei."
Xu Zhiqian shook her head when she heard this: "I disagree with this."
"Why?" Zhang Fei wondered: "I'm not playing evil tricks. I'm following the law and being reasonable. As long as I follow the rules and win the lawsuit, I have no regrets. If I lose the lawsuit, I have no regrets."
Xu Zhiqian hummed and said: "The strong do not need to follow the law or reason. The law is used to protect the weak. Cao Yanei's case was just a special case. But he was only afraid of the punishment of Empress Dowager Cao, rather than respecting the law.
Fa, in Sanya, more than one instructor, Lin Fei, was bullied, but most of them could only swallow their anger.
Let’s talk about the lawsuit between Li Si and Chen Yuteng. Without you, Li Si would not be able to win, but as for Chen Yuteng, he does not need our help at all. Only Li Si needs our help.
And those Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian, they hired you just to avoid being oppressed by the government, not because they were afraid of lawsuits with the people. If those arrogant people are not stirring up trouble, raising prices, fishing in troubled waters, and fooling the people, Chen Maoqian can
Have we asked you for help? Only the weak need our help, the strong don’t need it at all.”
Her concept has always been to emphasize the relationship between strong and weak. If Cao Yanei is in a lawsuit against Fu Zhishuang, then you can help anyone. But once it becomes a lawsuit between Cao Yanei and Lin Fei, she will immediately favor Lin Fei.
Zhang Fei had known about her concept for a long time, and the two of them had argued many times, but neither could convince the other.
But today, Zhang Fei frowned and began to think deeply.
Is this what changed me?
This is not a world where everyone is equal, at least in a legal sense.
This is an unequal world.
Like Wei Yushan and others
Those people can almost ignore the existence of the law. If I don't help Geng Ming, he doesn't need to be afraid of me at all, let alone my help.
Yes!
I am not in a society with a perfect legal system, but in a period of legal system construction.
If I want whoever I help to litigate, they can have a clear conscience and be happy to make money. First of all, I have to make them respect the law and make both sides of the law equal.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him and saw that he was silent, so she said: "I have decided to help that aunt get justice, and this time I plan to fight it myself."
Zhang Fei was startled and said in surprise: "You are going to fight?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "The court allows me to litigate with you, so of course I also have the right to help others litigate. We agreed at the beginning that I can help people litigate for free."
Zhang Fei asked: "Can you do it?"
Xu Zhiqian said slightly uneasily: "Do you think I can do it?"
Zhang Fei immediately became happy: "You don't have confidence in yourself, so why are you fighting?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "I don't have confidence because I have never fought a lawsuit myself. I have only seen you fight, and I don't know if it can work."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to show off in court at that time, but you didn't dare. Now you are asking for trouble by trying to catch a duck."
Xu Zhiqian also regretted a little and said, "I'm not afraid of going to court. I'm just afraid that if I lose the fight, I'll hurt others."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and said: "You have to understand that the most important thing when we are in Erbi litigation is to do our best. As for success or failure, that is decided by the presiding judge and is not within our control."
Xu Zhiqian said: "I understand the principle, but I am afraid of losing."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "In that case, it's up to me. I've already figured out some things just now."
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "I still want to try it myself, and I don't want to beg you all the time."
After saying that, she quickly added, "I'm not dissatisfied with you, but this is what I have always wanted to do, and I also hope that I have the ability to do it."
She has been relatively independent since she was a child, and is not used to always relying on others. She still hopes that she will be able to do what she wants to do.
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and then asked: "Do you allow me to be your assistant?"
Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "You must be my assistant. After all, I have been your assistant so many times."
Zhang Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll let you try it this time."
Back at Xu's house, Xu Zhiqian informed Xu Zun of her thoughts.
After Xu Zun heard this, he looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "What? I can't get your big Er pen for this small lawsuit."
Zhang Fei wanted to die when he heard this title, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the truth is that Zhiqian will not charge for the lawsuit. I have to collect money. If the aunt can win the lawsuit, it will be okay. If
If she can’t win, she will have to pay legal fees, which she may not be able to afford.”
"That's it." Xu Zun nodded slightly: "Although it is natural to collect money, in many cases, it depends on the situation. It's okay, Qian'er specializes in helping people with lawsuits for free, and it won't ruin your business.
rules."
It can be seen that he is partial to his daughter.
Xu Zhiqian said excitedly: "Did dad agree?"
Xu Zun chuckled and said, "Dad, when did you ever stop you from helping others? But you have to do everything within your ability."
"It's better, daddy!"
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Zhang Fei with slight contempt.
Zhang Fei said with an innocent face: "I also support you, I just don't support myself doing this. Isn't this also okay?"
"Don't be complacent yet."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "When I gain experience, I will never advise you again. I will defeat you in court and make you convinced that you have lost."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "If you are ambitious, I'm looking forward to it. When the lawsuit comes, our husband and wife will make two money. It will be really happy."
Xu Zhiqian
He said, "Don't even think about it, I won't charge you."
".!"
Zhang Fei's expression froze and he rolled his eyes at Xu Zhiqian: "It's really boring!"
Xu Zun also stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm looking forward to it too."
Xu Zhiqian asked again: "What does daddy think of this lawsuit?"
Xu Zun picked up the copy and looked at it carefully, frowning and said: "The law of being close to neighbors has been around since ancient times, but in our dynasty, some changes have taken place, and some details have been added. The priority of neighbors is now close to that of close friends."
.”
Zhang Fei asked: "Really?"
Xu Zun asked, "Don't you know?"
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "I usually go and take a look when needed."
Xu Zun smiled, and then explained: "Our dynasty is still different from the previous dynasty in many aspects. Just like the citizens of Bianjing, the rich and the poor have no fixed status, and the fields and houses have no fixed owners. If you have money, you can buy it, and if you don't have money, you can buy it.
If you want to sell, you often have to rely on neighbors instead of relatives. Therefore, when our government revised the law on relatives and neighbors, we increased the priority of neighbors."
The Song Dynasty was a highly commercial society, and citizens did not have many clan ties. Everyone began to emphasize freedom and efficiency. When selling a house, it was really troublesome to go to relatives to ask first. The court also based on the needs of the citizens,
Make appropriate supplements.
In some cases, it is possible to avoid asking relatives.
In addition, in terms of price, the Song court also favored market prices, and relatives could not buy at low prices.
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "But this is not a house sale, but an inheritance."
Xu Zun nodded and said: "You are right, this is also the difficulty of this lawsuit. His mother's approach seems reasonable, but in fact it is difficult to be protected by the law. This ancestral home still has to be passed down to future generations.
Although the law of relatives and neighbors also applies to inheritance rights, sales are still different from inheritance. While her son is still alive, it will be difficult for this neighbor to obtain inheritance rights."
Xu Zhiqian said: "But his son is so unfilial, can we use filial piety to fight this lawsuit? Zhang San also used filial piety to help Fang Yun escape the crime."
"Of course you can get it, and I thought there was a certain chance of winning."
Xu Zun nodded and said: "But the government cannot only consider this lawsuit, but also consider the issue of patriarchal law. If this precedent is set, will it conflict with the patriarchal law? Therefore, even if you prove that her son is unfilial,
There is no guarantee that the government will decide that you win. Unless you can convince the government that such a decision will not affect the patriarchal clan, then the chance of winning will be greater."
In ancient times, two laws existed in parallel, the state-owned law and the village-owned clan law. In fact, there were many contradictions between the two.
During the revision of the Neighborhood Law, we actually encountered resistance from the patriarchal clan. Today's neighbors are close, but not completely equal to relatives.
yes!
This son is very unfilial, but if you make an exception for the inheritance rights, it will have a great impact on the clan and even cause social unrest.
The judge must consider this issue.
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei said: "Don't be anxious, we should still do our homework as before, we will always find flaws."
