Returning to Wolong Fort, Lu Ming picked up those thick books and flipped through them. They were all bought in Sand Gravel City. They were Chinese versions of local laws and customs, including some ancient laws.
Outside the window, the originally bright weather seemed to have suddenly turned gloomy, with rolling dark clouds approaching from the north.
In today's dry season, such a scene is rare to see.
Looking out the window, Lu Ming sighed softly.
At first I thought it was just a small case, but when I got here I raised my hand and solved it.
But he didn't expect that although Liu Laocai's so-called encounter with the Immortal Jump was true, the fact that he annihilated him by force also existed objectively.
Moreover, it will be Richard who will litigate.
"Da da da da" The door was knocked lightly, and Luo Er's voice said, "Sir, Mrs. Sanjin and Mrs. Papaya would like to see you."
Lu Ming agreed.
The door was gently pushed open, and two slim figures walked in.
Sanjinpo is still wearing a snow-white thin cloth dress and a gauze wrapped in Papaya red gauze. There are thick carpets on the third floor of the earthen castle. According to the custom of women in aristocratic families, neither of them wore shoes, and they had two pairs of snow-white jade feet.
Stepping on the scarlet velvet carpet, Pingting came and knelt down together, "Your noble lord, I would like to send you my regards."
San Jin Po spoke this very fluently. Although Papaya's tone was a little strange, it could be heard that she was speaking in Zhongzhou dialect, and she probably had to study hard at the last minute.
Lu Ming waved his hand, and Luo Er went out and closed the door.
Lu Ming looked at San Jin Po. Compared with the confusion he felt this morning, Lu Ming was much calmer. Looking at this silver-haired beauty, he no longer had those weird feelings. From a certain point of view, he admired her. For the honor and disgrace of the family, what?
You can accept any grievance.
I have never married in my life, but now I have to marry a kid from the East, so I won't hesitate.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "Mrs. Sanjin, you can also act as an interpreter for what I say and tell Papa Ya that there is no one now, only the three of us. What I said will not be known to the fourth person, so all honor and disgrace
, face, we put it aside and can speak freely."
San Jinpo wanted to say something, but when she saw Lu Ming waving his hand and seeing Lu Ming's eyes, she felt inexplicably shocked.
"Tell Papaya." Lu Ming smiled.
Sanjinpo started chattering to Papaya.
Lu Ming waited for her to finish translating, and said: "I was caught off guard by what happened yesterday. I may have had some problems coping with it. In addition, my sister added fuel to the fire. She lives in a different environment, so I feel that your previous life was in dire straits. She is used to helping others.
, I used to fund..."
Speaking of this, Lu Ming sighed inwardly, wondering if the scars in Nicole's heart had disappeared.
In fact, the child in the orphanage was tortured to death, which was a huge blow to her, but she never showed it.
Perhaps, being so determined to hate him has a lot to do with the fact that he almost wiped out that organization in one fell swoop.
He may give her a great sense of security.
She should have been secretly paying attention to the progress of this case.
The various interactions he had with her were so numerous and complicated that it was difficult to describe them all.
But unfortunately, what she talked to herself the least about was about that case and the children she sponsored, as if nothing had ever happened.
Everyone may encounter unbearable burdens.
I just hope that my younger sister can be happy and smooth in the rest of her life.
Lu Ming pondered, then looked at the two beautiful women, and said: "However, my sister is young and has different opinions from me. You know everything about your own life, right?"
After Sanjinpo finished speaking to Papaya, Lu Ming looked at Papaya, "First of all, let's talk about you. Actually, I read some storybooks here to understand the local values. What are the punishments in the storybooks?
What is advocated is usually very clear, and it is also the window that best embodies the values of a civilization. It is also in the form of short stories, which is easy to understand. Well, that’s a long way to go.”
Lu Ming coughed and said again: "I also inquired about local customs, so now I am sure of one thing. Although your husband, Mr. Hawkeye Luo, kept you here overnight for no reason, in fact, if I have enough status,
Gao, even if I send you back like this, it doesn't matter. If I bring great benefits to your husband in the future, no one will gossip about your husband, and no one will think that you have done anything wrong. I will only treat you
More respect.”
"So, I won't explain anything to the outside world. It's a misunderstanding. I haven't touched you or anything here, including your husband. There is no need to explain. You can just treat me as sleeping. But I can tell you
I promise, as long as your husband follows me wholeheartedly and doesn't take the wrong path, then the Eagle Eye Luo family will become more and more prosperous, and you will also be the most respected woman in the Eagle Eye Luo family now and in the future.
, can have its own epitaph."
San Jinpo's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment. She could feel that the man in front of her was not the same one she saw in the morning.
Her eyes flashed, but she quickly translated Lu Ming's words to Papaya.
Papaya was dumbfounded, lowering her head slightly, tears falling from her beautiful eyes again, but only she knew what she was thinking and why she was crying this time.
Lu Ming continued: "So, I will take over the fish pond, but I will send you back in the afternoon. Of course, if you think that if you go back now, you don't know how to explain it to Eagle Eye Luo, and you will be criticized.
You can stay here first, and later, after Hawkeye Luo benefits from me, it won’t be too late to go back.”
After talking to Papaya, Lu Ming looked at Sanjinpo and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you, you are really a problem here."
"You seem to have fulfilled your great vows throughout your life and lived in the embrace of the Dragon God. Moreover, your everlasting beauty and strange silver hair have also added to your legend and mystery. The descendants of the Popolo family all regard you as a god.
respect."
"But in reality, you will be lonely and helpless throughout your life. I'm afraid only you know the desolation."
"When Popolo, your nephew, talks to you about me and hints at you, how does it feel in your heart?"
"Angry? Sad? Heartbroken?"
"There is a poem in my hometown: Spring silkworms will die when they die, and wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up. This is how you are. As you get older, your last bit of reserve will be torn to pieces by your tribe."
"Were you feeling very uncomfortable at that time?"
"But you, when you made up your mind, you had no regrets. After you came to me, you seemed to have my best interests at heart, but in fact, you hoped to gain my trust and use. In this way, you would devote yourself to the Bobolo family and die.
And that’s it.”
"To be honest, I admire you! I respect you!"
Sanjinpo slowly lowered her head.
Lu Ming sighed: "But, because of this, you and Papaya are different. If I send you back, your god-like ancestor will definitely become low-level in the eyes of the tribe."
"Your life's good reputation has been ruined. The vows you made before coming to me, those ideological struggles, and the struggle to endure humiliation and heavy burdens have all become worthless."
After a pause, Lu Ming looked at her: "So, this is what I think. I don't have to send you back. I can even send a letter to the city lord to confirm the ownership relationship between you and me, because I happen to be of some use."
"But you must remember that here, there are Luo Yiluo Er and my other close servants. Any one of them will always have a higher status than you. You are just one of the servants who help me, and there is no need to secretly help the Popolo family.
, If not, I believe you will understand the consequences."
"But in the same way, I will definitely give what should be given to the Popolo family, and the Hawkeye family and the Popolo family will definitely not regret following me. In this way, your biggest wish should be regarded as fulfilled. This life
, so I have no regrets.”
"Because I can also assure you that, in fact, your family will definitely be more prosperous than you imagined. It will be more prosperous than you imagined if you have the opportunity to use my career here to help your family in the future.
!”
San Jin Po raised her head and wanted to say something, but when she saw Lu Ming's bright eyes, she slowly lowered her head.
Lu Ming smiled and his tone was no longer so harsh, "Actually, you can relax in the future and treat your future life as a blessing after fulfilling your forty-five-year vow. Enjoy life and open your eyes to see the world.
Wouldn't it be nice to stop thinking about the petty gains at home and live for yourself from now on?"
Sanjin Po was silent and nodded gently, "Yes, Master, I will keep your words in my heart, I will swear to death..."
Lu Ming thought for a while and then said: "I think according to old customs, if I amend the formal letter to the city lord to confirm that you become my property, then the amount of my property now is amazing. As the ancestor of the Bobolo family, you will be equivalent to property
It’s very important. If so, am I qualified to become the Monsoon Councilor of this city?”
The so-called monsoon MP, as the name suggests, monsoon is not a common wind but only occurs in specific seasons. The monsoon MP is not one of the three-color MPs and is similar to the honorary MP from outside.
"And it seems that Congressman Ji Feng and Congressman Baiqi once had the power to pardon their relatives and friends who were sentenced to death by the court after committing crimes?"
In the court of Bate City, the judge is the city lord, who is truly the ruler of the trinity.
The four White Flag members serve as jurors, but the final decision-making power rests with the city lord as the judge.
In a case in which Fila Petroleum is involved, if it is obvious that you have lost in court, you cannot expect the city lord to rule in favor of you.
So, looking at the old customs, there is an amnesty power that can be used.
For example, the four White Flag members can exercise the power of amnesty if their relatives or friends are sentenced to death after the city lord's ruling, but the remaining three members need to vote to make a final decision on whether the right of amnesty is established or not.
Congressman Monsoon seems to be able to propose amnesty, but there are no clear provisions.
Moreover, because relatives and friends are relatives or close friends that everyone really needs to know, otherwise, the power of amnesty will inevitably be abused, not to mention it will cause too many problems, and in the end, the power of amnesty may become worthless.
Therefore, I cannot expect Hawkeye Luo or Popolo to propose pardon for Liu Laocai.
I can only do it myself first as a last resort to save Liu Laocai's life.
Of course, if you really use this, it means that your lawsuit has been completely lost.
Over there, Sanjinpo sighed softly. "Master, in just three days, I have surrendered. You have more knowledge than me."
Obviously, she doesn't care much about these things, so she doesn't know.
Lu Ming nodded: "Your Zhongzhou dialect is better than in the morning, and the sentences you can speak are getting longer and longer." He pondered, "If you have no objection, I will revise the book and give it to Zhong Quan Luo to confirm.
Are you becoming my property?"
Then he said: "Please teach me how to write this kind of document."
I shook my head inwardly. The marriage was confirmed here, but the property was notarized. The status of women was, in essence, appallingly low.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Ming's mind, "Sanjinpo, look, my property exceeds a certain amount and needs confirmation from the city lord, right? Those serfs are poor civilians who are confirmed by the head of the family to start a family.
Register with the Four Cities Public Security Bureau.”
"If there are two civilians who have never registered but have lived together for more than ten years and strictly abide by local laws, is there any crime?"
Sanjin Po shook her head blankly again. The life of the poor was once again a blind spot in her knowledge.
Lu Ming nodded, feeling that although Tugou and Hashan were not registered, they had lived for more than ten years without being affected and no one reported anything. It seemed that de facto marriages were also recognized in this area, just like Donghai.
"Okay, come and teach me how to write this kind of official letter that turns you into my property..." Lu Ming said, shaking his head inwardly. This was too ridiculous even in the East China Sea, let alone in his previous life.
Looking at Papaya again, Lu Ming said: "What about you, are you leaving now, or in a few days?"
But Papaya had been in a daze. After Sanjinpo finished translating, seeing that she didn't respond, she turned to Lu Ming and said: "Master, she needs time, she is mentally shocked, it's too big..."
Lu Ming nodded. At this time, there was a knock on the door and Luo Er's voice said: "Sir, this is an official letter from the Council of Government."
San Jinpo hurriedly opened the door and smiled apologetically at Luo Er. Luo Er quickly walked in and handed the official letter to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming opened it and frowned slightly, but it was said that the case of Ha Shan suing Liu Shoufu for rape and annihilation was scheduled to be heard in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.
Richard had just arrived in Nicolo, a thousand kilometers away, in the morning, but he had already asked people here to file a lawsuit.
Obviously, he didn't want to stay in this remote mountainous area for more than a day. He just wanted to start the lawsuit as soon as he came and leave after the lawsuit.
The case was solved in a day or two.
It is true that unlike in the East China Sea, the court in Bate City, for example, will open tomorrow afternoon, and then there will be continuous trials, which will be completed in two or three days at most. After all, there will not be too complicated cases here, and the trials will
For such a big case as that of Donghai citizens, other small cases will naturally have to be put on the sidelines. Moreover, there may not be one case that needs to be heard by the city lord's court here in a month. Most of the disputes are resolved by the patriarchs of each family themselves.
Richard seems quite confident. After all, his team has fought several lawsuits in the Western Region, not to mention the support brought by the law firm.
Presumably, any lawyer from his law firm who had fought lawsuits in the Western Regions would offer advice and even form a team of lawyers to accompany him.
In this regard, lawyers working alone or small and medium-sized law firms can never compare.
When will my own law firm reach this scale?
Lu Ming sighed with some envy in his heart.
However, for this case, I had just been inspired, and I gradually had a preliminary idea, but I still needed to look at the information again.
Since you must fight, then fight.
Let’s see if the young lawyers in my small law firm can knock down the overwhelming team of lawyers led by a giant like you with one punch.
Lu Ming looked out the window, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
