Office of the Chief Prosecutor of the Anxi District Prosecutor's Office of the Kingdom.
Prosecutor Gao Baozhen looked grim.
The crestfallen man sitting across from the large desk is Prosecutor Li Fan, the prosecutor who filed the defamation lawsuit against reporter Wang Jingmo.
"You have to go to this hearing!" Gao Baozhen was already a little impatient.
The lawyer representing journalist Wang Jingmo reported Prosecutor Li Fan to the Anxi District Lawyers Association, believing that his prosecution of journalist Wang Jingmo was unwarranted, violated the professional code of prosecutors, and may also involve the use of public power to suppress the human rights of citizens.
Although Li Fan has withdrawn his defamation lawsuit against Wang Jingmo from the court, he still needs to go to the regional bar association for questioning.
The unfounded behavior of prosecutors suspected of violating professional ethics is not serious enough or there is no clear evidence that it involves illegal crimes.
It is mainly supervised by the Office of Professional Responsibility of the Kingdom’s Ministry of Justice and the regional bar associations.
Regional bar associations are actually self-regulatory organizations of the legal profession and have nothing to do with the government.
However, it has the qualification to cancel the lawyer's license.
Official prosecutors are all professional lawyers. Once their lawyer license is revoked, it actually means that prosecutors will no longer be able to work.
In addition to the senior practitioners in the regional bar association, the chief judge of the district court and the prosecutor general of the district prosecutor's office also have considerable influence within the association.
Originally a legal desert, the Anxi area had few real seniors in the legal profession. The few old people were all remnants of the previous dynasty. Prosecutor Gao Baozhen had a strong say in the guild.
Li Fan just hopes to get the support of the prosecutor general without having to accept any questioning.
Gao Baozhen's face was cold. It was obvious that this guy hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet. He wanted to say something, but finally shook his head: "You go ahead!"
Li Fan had no choice but to leave.
Looking at his back, Gao Baozhen sighed deeply. He was quite optimistic about him originally, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to save him this time.
Since the Kingdom District Court began hearing a lawsuit brought by more than a dozen taxpayers against the Anxi City Hall, this case has become very directional.
I'm afraid...
Gao Baozhen walked to the window and opened it, looking in the direction of Xinjing in the northeast. The lead-like clouds weighed down people as if they couldn't breathe.
Those who study law may, to a certain extent, understand him best.
What are the intentions of the decrees he issued and the words he once said?
An ideal legal society that is more enlightened than the East China Sea.
But the powerful people in Anshan are still living in the past. This time, they are afraid that they will lose everything.
However, he is really worthy of the admiration of every legal person. He did not send out any special task force to arrest all these dead-living guys, but used legal means to solve the problem, so as not to damage the legal basis of the Dominion.
He is as powerful as an old man and can solve problems within the legal framework. How about others in the future?
Gao Baozhen looked in the direction of Xinjing and suddenly smiled. He figured out a very crucial issue. Yes, maybe he would be affected by this extremely serious storm, but Anxi, this country that had been used by everyone
The land that slave owners and warlords have oppressed for hundreds of years may actually have a bright future. What does their temporary personal honor and disgrace mean?
The sun jumped out from the lead-like clouds. The edges of the clouds reflected a dreamy halo, and the shadows covering the earth were gradually dissipating.
…
In the elegant room of a very quaint teahouse, there sat a trembling old man, wearing a mandarin jacket and black robe, very traditional clothing. He was so lean that a gust of wind could blow him away.
He is the deputy presiding judge of the local former Daoyin Office.
Because he has always been honest and self-responsible, he is willing to do good, so even though the former chief judge and other powerful people were sentenced to various prison terms, he remained unscathed and was appointed as the legal advisor of the Dominion. After the Anxi District Lawyers Association was established, he not only
Joined the guild and was elected as one of the eleven committee members by all members.
He was slowly lighting up his tobacco pipe. Sitting opposite him with a smile was Li Fan. According to his seniority, he was a grandson of his clan. He called him "Second Master".
"I don't understand the current law." Mr. Li put out the match on his dry pipe, "Didn't you say that too? The lawsuit has been withdrawn. Knowing one's mistakes can greatly improve the situation. Was it a momentary misjudgment? Even gods make mistakes.
,So, if you tell the truth, what are you afraid of?"
Li Fan was immediately overjoyed, "Yes, Second Master, I really know I was wrong! At that time, I really felt that he had just slandered someone!"
"But, things are new now. It's interesting for a young white man to sue the provincial government." Mr. Li chewed on his pipe and chuckled.
"Yes, it was better when Second Master you were in power..."
Before Li Fan finished speaking, Mr. Li's face turned cold, "Don't talk nonsense. In my era, dynasties changed. Can I still retain the head of an official from the previous dynasty?"
"Yes, yes." Li Fan did not dare to say any more.
"I, in fact, am just a decoration. I understand this, but how can this guild still be, oh, it's an impeachment? This guild, isn't it just a non-governmental organization, with no salary, no rank, and a licensed lawyer?
I automatically became a member, how can I still impeach you as a prosecutor?" Mr. Li's face was full of novelty, he really felt that everything was new.
Li Fan smiled bitterly, "That's right. If you don't tell me, would it be unreasonable for me?"
Mr. Li said: "But you also know that you are wrong. There is one thing. This little white guy is suing the government office. You arrested him? It's a coincidence, isn't it?"
Li Fan thought for a while and showed a look of shame, "Second Master, to be honest with you, I arrested him on purpose. I was so angry at the time. As you said, how could any white guy sue the Yamen?"
Mr. Li clicked his pipe and nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
Seeing the old gentleman squinting and enjoying the rising smoke, Li Fan stood up and said, "Second Master, please rest, I'm leaving!"
Mr. Li squinted his eyes and nodded, listening to Li Fan lift the door curtain and leave.
Li Erye suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Ling'er, go and hang up the phone to Gao Baozhen and tell him that this little bastard deliberately harmed others and admitted it himself! I will definitely vote to give him the severest punishment!"
That means his lawyer's license is revoked, right? And he's also dismissed as a prosecutor?"
The woman who was making Gongfu tea was amused, "Second Master, are you deceiving him? Are you trying to trick him?"
Mr. Li squinted his eyes, full of excitement, "I don't understand this new law and new world, but just listen, it's better than before. As for me, it seems it's not just for decoration. These bastards are human beings."
Damn it, I can still talk, hey, it’s interesting, it’s interesting!”
The woman had no choice but to say, "Second Master, I know you are bored, but let's take it easy and don't go around looking for trouble, but be careful of getting slapped."
Mr. Li squinted his eyes and clicked on his pipe, too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.
There is a difference of more than 40 years between the two, but they have a deep love as a couple and their relationship has always been excellent.
