Zhang Fei really went to pee.
Lu Xun once said that when people are urinating, their minds are most relaxed and best suited for thinking.
This simple lawsuit really made Zhang Fei feel troubled.
But the difficulty is not whether the lawsuit is difficult to win, he has not considered it carefully yet, but he finds that he is gradually deviating from his professional ethics.
In his original plan, he took over Fan's bookstore just to make money, not to help the weak and uphold justice, which is what a chivalrous thief would do.
He also thought that he had always been like this.
However, when this lawsuit was placed before him, he suddenly realized that his original idea had changed.
In his mind, justice of outcome comes first, rather than money or procedural justice.
There are some things that you can deceive others about, but you can't deceive yourself.
This is totally wrong.
...
...
Why is this happening?
This is actually a very scary thing.
He himself is also thinking about this issue seriously.
Was it infected by Xu Zhiqian?
Obviously not.
He may have some reservations, but they won't cause him to change his entire way of thinking.
In the evening, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian left the Bian Jing Law Firm in a carriage.
"Are you angry?"
Seeing that Zhang Fei was in a very low mood and silent, Xu Zhiqian 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 could have kept it from you, but the reason 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 so."
Xu Zhiqian asked, "Why? I think you have made progress."
"Improvement." Zhang Fei rolled his eyes. "A lawsuit is not about killing or robbing, nor is it about coercion or bribery. It is about law and reason. If it can be brought to court, it proves that there is indeed a dispute, and it cannot be determined by strength or weakness. It's like when I helped Cao Yanei to fight the lawsuit. Even if Lin Fei was innocent, I had to do my best to help Cao Yanei."
Xu Zhiqian shook her head when she heard this: "I don't agree with this."
"Why?" Zhang Fei wondered, "I'm not playing tricks. I'm a law-abiding person. As long as I follow the rules, I can win the case with a clear conscience. If I lose the case, I can also have a clear conscience."
Xu Zhiqian snorted and said, "The strong do not need to abide by the law or reason. The law is used to protect the weak. Cao Yanei's case was just a special case. But he was just afraid of the punishment of Empress Dowager Cao, not respecting the law. In the Three Yamen, there are more than one bullied coaches, but most people can only swallow their anger.
Let’s talk about the lawsuit between Li Si and Chen Yuteng. Without you, Li Si would not have won. But as for Chen Yuteng, he doesn’t need our help at all. Only Li Si needs our help.
And Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian, they hired you only to avoid being oppressed by the government, not because they were afraid of disputes with the people. Those brokers are always making trouble, raising prices, taking advantage of the situation, and fooling the people. Did Chen Maoqian ask 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 strength and weakness. If it is a lawsuit between Cao Yanei and Fu Zhishuang, then you can help anyone, but once it becomes a lawsuit between Cao Yanei and Lin Fei, she will immediately side with Lin Fei.
Zhang Fei had known about her idea for a long time, and the two had argued about it many times, but neither could convince the other.
But today, Zhang Fei frowned and fell into deep thought.
Is this what changed me?
This is not a world where everyone is equal, at least in the 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, let alone need my help.
Yes!
I am not living in a society with a perfect legal system, but in a period of legal construction.
If I want to have a clear conscience and make money happily no matter who I help in a lawsuit, first of all, I have to make them respect the law and make both ends of the law equal.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him and saw that he was silent, so she said, "I have decided to seek justice for that auntie, and this time I plan to fight myself."
Zhang Fei was startled and asked in surprise: "You...you go fight?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "The court has allowed me to fight you in court, so of course I have the right to help others fight the case myself. We agreed at the beginning that I can help people fight the case for free."
Zhang Fei asked, "Can you do it?"
Xu Zhiqian was a little nervous and asked, "Do you think I can do it?"
Zhang Fei immediately laughed: "If you don't have confidence in yourself, then 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 it, and I don't know if it will work."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to demonstrate your abilities in court, but you didn't dare to do so. Now you are forcing yourself to do something. You are really asking for trouble."
Xu Zhiqian also felt a little regretful and said, "I'm not afraid of going to class, I'm just afraid of losing the fight and hurting others."
Zhang Fei was slightly stunned, and said, "You have to understand that the most important thing for us in Erbi to fight a lawsuit is to do our best. As for success or failure, that is decided by the chief judge, and it is not something we can control."
Xu Zhiqian said: "I understand the truth, but I am afraid of losing."
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "In that case, let me do it. I have figured out some things just now."
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, "I still want to try it myself. I don't want to beg you all the time."
She quickly added, "I'm not being polite to you, it's just that this is something I've always wanted to do, and I hope I can do it."
She has been relatively independent since she was young, and is not used to always relying on others. She still hopes that she has the ability to do what she wants.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then will 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 smiled: "Okay! I'll let you try it this time."
After returning to the Xu family, Xu Zhiqian told Xu Zun her thoughts.
After hearing this, Xu Zun looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile, "Why? We can't hire a great writer like you for this small lawsuit."
When Zhang Fei heard this address, he wanted to die, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, that's not true. In fact, Zhiqian doesn't charge for the lawsuit, but I do. If the aunt can win the lawsuit, it's fine. If not, she will have to pay the litigation fee, which she may not be able to afford."
"I see." Xu Zun nodded slightly: "Although it is natural to collect money, in many cases, it depends on the situation. This is also good. Qian'er specializes in helping people with lawsuits for free, and it will not break the rules of your industry."
It can be seen that he favors his daughter.
Xu Zhiqian asked excitedly: "Did Daddy agree?"
Xu Zun chuckled and said, "When has Dad ever stopped you from helping others? But you should always do things within your ability."
"Daddy is still the best!"
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Zhang Fei with a little disdain.
Zhang Fei said innocently, "I support you, too. I just don't support myself doing this. Is that not okay?"
"Don't get complacent yet."
Xu Zhiqian snorted, "When I have accumulated experience, I will never advise you again. I will defeat you in court and make you admit defeat sincerely."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "You have great ambitions. I am looking forward to it. When the time comes, my husband and I will earn two fortunes from a lawsuit. It will be a pleasure."
Xu Zhiqian
"Don't even think about it. I won't take any money."
".!"
Zhang Fei's expression froze, and he rolled his eyes at Xu Zhiqian: "How boring!"
Xu Zun also stroked his beard and smiled, "I am looking forward to it too."
Xu Zhiqian asked again, "Dad, what do you think of this lawsuit?"
Xu Zun picked up the document again and looked at it carefully, frowning and saying, "The law of neighborliness has existed since ancient times, but in our dynasty, some changes have taken place and some details have been added. The priority of neighbors is almost equal to that of relatives."
Zhang Fei asked, "Really?"
Xu Zun asked back, "Don't you know?"
Zhang Fei said awkwardly, "I usually go and see when I need it."
Xu Zun smiled and explained, "Our dynasty is different from the previous dynasty in many aspects. For example, the citizens of Bianjing are not rich or poor, and their land and houses have no fixed owners. If they have money, they buy, and if they don't have money, they sell. Many times, they can only rely on their neighbors, not their relatives. Therefore, when our dynasty revised the Neighborly Law, it raised the priority of neighbors."
The Song Dynasty was a highly commercial society, and the citizens did not have too many clan ties, so everyone began to emphasize freedom and efficiency. It was too troublesome to go and ask relatives first to sell a house, and the court also made appropriate adjustments based on the needs of the citizens.
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 were not allowed to 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 it is actually difficult to be protected by the law. This ancestral home still needs to be passed on to future generations. Although the law of relatives and neighbors also applies to inheritance rights, buying and selling is still different from inheritance.
It would be difficult for the neighbor to obtain inheritance rights while her son was still alive.”
Xu Zhiqian said, "But his son is so unfilial, so can we use filial piety to fight this lawsuit? Zhang San also used filial piety to help Fang Yun escape punishment."
"Of course I can win. I think I have a good chance of winning."
Xu Zun nodded and continued, "But the government cannot just consider this case, they also have to consider the clan law. If this precedent is set, will it conflict with the clan law? Therefore, even if you prove that her son is unfilial, there is no guarantee that the government will rule in your favor. Unless you can convince the government that such a verdict will not affect the clan law, then your chances of winning will be greater."
In ancient times, there were two laws running in parallel: the state had its own laws, and the villages had their own clan laws. In fact, there were many contradictions between the two.
The revision of the Neighborhood Law actually encountered resistance from the patriarchal system. Today’s neighbors are almost equal to relatives, but not completely equal to them.
yes!
This son is very unfilial, but if you make an exception for the inheritance right, it will have a huge impact on the family and may even cause social unrest.
The judge must consider this issue.
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, we should still do our homework as before, and we will find the loopholes eventually."
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly.
