On March 27th, the finals of the joint competition between the four houses of Huating Academy were held.
The lawyer competition of the First Branch was held in the morning. At that time, Lin Zhongchun, Sun Zhaozhou and Dong Siyue had already heard the rules of the finals explained and were quietly queuing up to draw lots.
The rules of the final are different from the previous two competitions. The method of the final is public debate. After the selection of the first two competitions, there are only three groups in the finals. They are divided into three games in the morning and fourth in the afternoon.
A game to determine the champion.
"What did you get? Why do you look so ugly?"
The person who participated in the lottery this time was Dong Siyue. As soon as she was drawn, she immediately opened the note inside and checked the information given inside.
Upon hearing Sun Zhaozhou's question, Dong Siyue sighed heavily and handed over the note.
Sun Zhaozhou took it and read the contents while reading it.
This is a loan case.
A and B have been friends for many years.
However, not long ago, A suffered a family tragedy, and after being inspired by C, A went to the casino to gamble with the only money he had left.
Unexpectedly, he lost more and more. After losing, he thought about getting back the money he lost. Unexpectedly, the money he owed was getting more and more, and he couldn't afford to pay back the money.
It happened that B's home was being demolished and he received a lot of compensation. After A learned about this, he immediately went to B to borrow money. However, although B lent him the money, he charged a high interest rate.
Although A felt that this method was not appropriate, he made up his mind when he thought about the money he had borrowed, and continued to borrow money from B at extremely high interest rates, and also issued an IOU.
B restricts A to repay the loan within three years, with principal and interest.
A also agreed and signed and stamped his signature.
But for some reason, B asked A to repay the money one month before the loan period expired.
A cannot afford to pay back, so B takes A to court.
There are two roles in this case, one is the lawyer of Party A, and the other is the lawyer of Party B.
Because the roles on paper were already assigned, Lin Zhongchun and his team were assigned the role of Party A’s litigants.
Lin Zhongchun looked down at the words on the paper. Party A proposed to use his sister as collateral for the loan, and asked B to return the IOU and pay ten taels of silver in exchange. In exchange, he would sell his sister D to B as a concubine.
Lin Zhongchun sighed and then closed his eyes.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in this world, and this case is not an isolated case, but something that really existed in this dynasty and around her.
This is a dynasty where people can be treated as objects to be bought and sold.
The person's sister in the case can be regarded as an object, bought and sold to the other party like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
She knows that this world is cruel, but when she comes into contact with it, she still feels a bit sad.
Sun Zhaozhou didn't think there was any problem: "Why do you feel uncomfortable? I see that everyone has started to prepare. Should we also..."
"I want to quit." Lin Zhongchun opened his eyes and looked at Sun Zhaozhou, "Although this is a competition and I don't know if the case is real, I don't want to use my identity as a litigator to fight for benefits from this perspective."
"I don't want to either." Dong Siyue had the same attitude as Lin Zhongchun, "This case is real and it is something I have been exposed to. At that time, she cried and asked me to help her tell her brother not to sell her to others. But I
There was nothing I could do at that time, and my parents asked me not to have contact with them and to draw clear boundaries with them. Just a month ago, she hanged herself."
Having said this, Dong Siyue sniffed and felt a chill in her heart: "When I saw this case, I immediately thought of her. Her name is not the letters ABCD, but Fuli, the pear of Lihua."
Sun Zhaozhou fell silent.
To be honest, he doesn't think such a thing is possible, because he lives in this era and is at the highest position in this era.
His father is the prime minister, and everything he comes into contact with is what others let him see. Everyone is willing to follow him and protect him, unlike Lin Zhongchun who traveled here from another world, let alone the one who has been here since he was a child.
Dong Siyue is at the bottom.
Everyone's perspective is different, and Sun Zhaozhou's perspective is extremely superior and different from others.
He will think that slaves are slaves and can be bought and sold at will.
He can spend a lot of money on eating, drinking and having fun, even if the money he pays for a meal will be the living expenses of the lower class people for several years.
The clothes he wears are also made of custom-made fabrics and cost a lot of effort.
This is the gap between rich and poor, this is the so-called gap, the gap that cannot be bridged.
Sun Zhaozhou said: "Isn't it just a case? If you two withdraw from the competition now, then we won't be able to get the first place in the finals. If we can't get the first place, what's the point of us participating in this competition? Let's participate
It’s just to add elegance to Huating Academy, isn’t it?”
Lin Zhongchun shook his head: "Although I also want to get the first place, I don't want to argue from the perspective given by this case. We have a choice. We can choose where to stand. Why?
What kind of people should debate and what kind of things should be debated, instead of being forced to choose to debate from a place that I don’t want to stand like now, so I will withdraw from the competition. In this matter, I am very sorry, but my
I'm sorry for you, for not getting first place in the competition, not for giving up arguing for the people in this case."
Dong Siyue bowed to Sun Zhaozhou: "I'm sorry."
Lin Zhongchun and Dong Siyue looked at each other, and then walked towards the audience at the same time. Sun Zhaozhou looked at the note in his hand, then looked at the two people who had already walked away, and finally chose to chase after them.
Sun Zhaozhou: "Although I can't understand what you two are doing, I will support all your decisions. After all, we are a team. Since we are a team, we will advance and retreat together."
Although, it is indeed a pity for him not to get the first place, but he will have many first places in the future.
Isn't it just a small competition? If you can't win first place, you won't win. There will be many opportunities in the future.
Moreover, he is not in the mood to continue playing now, as yesterday's matter has not yet been properly resolved.
Sun Zhaozhou ran up and walked side by side with Lin Zhongchun and Dong Siyue: "Wait a minute, young master!"
Lin Zhongchun knew that Sun Zhaozhou would make the same choice as them.
Sun Zhaozhou is different from others. Although he was indeed a playboy at the beginning, his heart is not bad. From the moment he helped him, Sun Zhaozhou has been doing good things. He is also a person with a strong sense of justice and will take care of his partners.
Will make plans.
She firmly believed that Sun Zhaozhou would make such a choice. After all, he had always been someone she wanted to trust and be friends with.
