Oops?
Fan Chunren tilted his head and looked at Zhang Fei, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Fei said solemnly, "If we can't expose Huang Lao Er's ugliest side, our chances of winning this lawsuit will be much smaller."
This lawsuit is about extra-legal love, so the love must be in place, otherwise it will be difficult for the love to break through the boundaries of the law.
Fan Chunren paused for a moment and said, "The presiding judge must have asked the right questions. Otherwise, you wouldn't even need to appeal. The judge standing next to you would definitely overturn the presiding judge's decision."
"This is different!"
Zhang Fei shook his head.
Fan Chunren asked, "What's the difference?"
Zhang Fei said: "The Er pen is aggressive and can set traps in the questions, while the chief judge asked questions in a fair manner, which is not aggressive. He only raised his own questions based on doubts. The other party could easily guess and could have thought of a response strategy in advance, which makes it difficult to expose the ugliest side of the other party."
Fan Chunren nodded slightly and asked, "Which interrogation method do you think is more fair?"
...
...
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Needless to say, it's the former."
"Why?" Fan Chunren asked.
Zhang Fei said: "Because both parties will do their utmost to protect their clients and spare no effort to attack the other party. This is almost certain. If the questions are mainly asked by the chief judge."
He tilted his head to look at Fan Chunren and said with a smile, "Sijian Fan and I have fought two lawsuits before. You should know that many questions may seem fair, but if you ask them at different times or in different order, the results you get will be very different."
Fan Chunren frowned and said nothing.
He was the only one who felt deeply about this.
Because he had fought with Zhang Fei before, many questions that were beneficial to him had to be hidden. He had to wait for the other party to make the first move, and then bring them up to refute. If he brought them up first, he might be countered by his opponent.
If the presiding judge takes the lead, who knows what he is thinking and what is the purpose of his asking this question.
Xu Zhiqian, who was in the hall, also felt something was wrong. Judging from Liang Dong's attitude, she didn't know how much room he would give them to maneuver.
In the previous interrogation method, Erbi was also qualified to ask questions, but the main line was controlled by the judge, and Erbi could only make a defense based on the judge's questions.
As expected.
When Huang Yongli came to court, Liang Dong asked directly: "Huang Yongli, as an only son, why don't you take your elderly mother to live with you?"
Since the Song Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, there was a provision in the "Song Criminal Code" that if one had separate registration and property and failed to provide support, he could be charged with unfilial piety.
In other words, children take advantage of their parents' old age to divide up their parents' property and set up their own business, resulting in the children failing to fulfill their responsibility to support their parents.
The crime carries a maximum penalty of death.
Therefore, no matter how cruel Huang Yongli was, he dared not sell the house while his mother was still alive.
Liang Dong also had to question this point when he came up.
Huang Yongli immediately protested: "Your Excellency, I am innocent. After my father passed away, I have always wanted to take my mother to live with me, but my mother is used to living in the old house and has always refused to live with me. I have even argued with my mother several times because of this."
Xu Zhiqian immediately asked, "If you are really filial, why have you never shown up for your mother's birthday celebrations in the past few years?"
Huang Yongli looked sad and shook his head, saying, "This is indeed my negligence. I have been so focused on making money to support my family these years that I neglected my mother's birthday. I am such an unfilial son!"
As he spoke, he choked up and wiped his eyes.
Li Lei on the other side immediately said, "Regarding this, Si Lu can send someone to ask Huang Yongli how busy he is every day, getting up early and going to bed late every day, and often forgetting even his own birthday. Madam Xu has been pampered since she was a child, so naturally she can't understand the hardships of ordinary people."
Xu Zhiqian was also forced to change the subject of her inquiry and said to Liang Dong, "If Si Lu knew what Huang Yongli was doing on July 8 two years ago, he would know that what he said was all lies and could not be trusted."
These questions were originally intended to be asked to Huang Yongli, but now she could only go directly to persuade the presiding judge.
Liang Dong asked Huang Yongli, "What were you doing on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month two years ago?"
Huang Yongli thought about it and said with a guilty conscience: "It seems that day was my 30th birthday."
Liang Dong immediately looked at Li Lei.
Huang Yongli immediately explained: "It was my wife who insisted on doing this. It has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Zhiqian asked again, "Did you invite your mother to come that day?"
Huang Yongli replied: "Of course I invited her, but my mother refused to come."
Of course he didn't invite her, but that's hard to prove.
Xu Zhiqian asked, "My mother refused to come to her only son's 30th birthday. Can Uncle Huang explain why?"
After hearing this, Li Lei's eyes flashed with joy.
Huang Yongli said, "Didn't I say this before? I had argued with my mother a few times before, and she was angry with me."
Xu Zhiqian was about to continue asking questions when Liang Dong spoke first, "You are kind enough to invite your mother to live with you. It is a filial act. Even if your mother doesn't want to, she shouldn't be angry with you. Tell me the truth. Is there any other hidden story behind this?"
Xu Zhiqian thought Liang Dong's question was reasonable, so she kept silent.
Huang Yongli glanced at Liang Dong with a guilty conscience and said, "I dare not deceive you, sir. Actually, I wanted to take my mother to live with me and then sell the old house."
“Asshole!”
Liang Dong immediately scolded him: "In the final analysis, you are not trying to fulfill your filial duty, but you are trying to seize your parents' property. This is really unreasonable."
Li Lei immediately said, "Si Lu Mingjian, in fact, these two things are not contradictory. Huang Yongli really wants to sell the old house because for him, this is actually killing two birds with one stone. He can fulfill his filial duty and get some money to take his business to the next level."
Liang Dong said, "You are just making excuses. If you don't sell this old house, can you not fulfill your filial piety?"
Li Lei remained silent.
Huang Yongli also lowered his head guiltily and remained silent.
Liang Dong slammed the gavel and shouted, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
Huang Yongli said, "I want to take my mother to live with me. I do have some selfish motives, but I do want to take my mother to live with me."
Li Lei explained, "Si Lu, it is normal for mother and son to have some disputes. Although Huang Yongli acted unfilially, he still respected his mother's wishes in the end and did not force her to sell the house."
Liang Dong nodded slightly.
Xu Zhiqian was completely dumbfounded. After Liang Dong asked her these questions, she didn't even have a chance to interrupt. Her rhythm was completely disrupted by Liang Dong.
Liang Dong's questions seemed fair, but in fact he was just following the other party's answers rather than raising doubts.
It seems to be very unfavorable to Huang Yongli, but in fact it has proved from the side that Huang Yongli really wants to take his mother to live with him. No matter what the reason is, at least he has this plan.
Although filial piety is mixed with interests, who can calculate what proportion is filial piety and what proportion is interests?
And he could use quarrels with his mother to explain many of his unfilial behaviors.
If a mother and son are angry with each other, it is unfilial. The son should give in to his mother. For scholars, this will definitely be criticized, but for ordinary people, it is also human nature.
It is definitely not a heinous crime.
We can tell something from the attitude of the people watching the trial at the door.
No one showed much anger.
Some people even thought that the old woman was too stubborn. It was not easy for her son to do business. It would be good for both you and her son if she lived with him.
Xu Zhiqian was immediately a little flustered. This situation was already very unfavorable to her. Liang Dong had already made a decision on whether Huang Yongli would invite him to be the current head of the family. If it could not be reversed, it would be very troublesome.
However, Liang Dongcai
As the chief judge, he would not give in to these accusations. He just waited for a while, and when he saw Xu Zhiqian remained silent, he said loudly, "Call Liu Wu."
Xu Zhiqian was startled and asked quickly, "Si Lu, I... I haven't finished asking?"
Liang Dong smiled and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Xu Zhiqian hadn't thought of a solution for a while.
Liang Dong said very tolerantly, "The person is here. Ask him later if you think of him." He then instructed, "Call Liu Wu first."
Fan Chunren, who was watching from the sidelines, saw Zhang Fei sweating profusely from anxiety, and couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe you were right before, but this also proves that as long as we change the interrogation method, your method will not work."
Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea and laughed, "I can't do it? If Fan Sijian can guarantee that I won't be beaten, I can immediately turn the situation around and nail Huang Yongli to death."
Fan Chunren was very curious and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei said calmly, "I just shouted a few words. That's enough."
Fan Chunren really didn't believe it. You can turn the tables by just shouting a few words. Do you think you are a god? He thought that shouting a few words was not a big sin, so he nodded and said, "Okay! If you only shout a few words, I guarantee that you won't be beaten."
"Watch this! Don't blink!"
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he rushed over, jumped up, and angrily cursed: "Huang Yongli, you are a beast worse than pigs and dogs! In order to sell the house, you did not hesitate to kill your mother. You are a murderer, a murderer of your mother."
Everyone was shocked by his shout.
Murderer?
Killing the mother?
Is this true or false?
One of the officials was the first to react and quickly ordered the yamen runners to "Stop him, stop him quickly!"
Immediately, two yamen runners rushed over and stopped Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei struggled and shouted, "Huang Yongli, you beast, your mother has been suffering from illness and pain for the past two years, but you turned a blind eye and didn't even hire a doctor. It turns out that you just want your mother to die sooner so that you can sell the house earlier."
Huang Yongli panicked and subconsciously retorted, "I didn't! You are wronging me!"
You idiot. Zhang Fei shouted, "Did I wrong you? Have you ever taken your mother to see a doctor? Have you ever spent money on your mother's medical treatment? You are really a beast worse than pigs and dogs. For money, you can even kill your mother. But you didn't expect that Granny Huang had seen through your mind a long time ago. She would rather give the house to someone else than to you. You must be so angry. Haha, retribution, retribution! Hahaha!"
Liang Dong also reacted, and was furious. "How did this guy get in? Hurry up and catch him. It's really unreasonable. He dared to act like a jerk in my court. I must punish him today!"
“Sorry! Sorry!”
Fan Chunren suddenly ran over and panted, "Liang Silu, I brought him in. I'm so sorry for disturbing Liang Silu's trial. I'll take him away now."
Liang Dong looked at Fan Chunren and thought, "Sijian Fan, take him away from here quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes! I will come to your house to apologize some other day."
Fan Chunren bowed repeatedly, feeling very guilty, then pulled Zhang Fei outside, lecturing him as they walked.
Zhang Fei wasn't listening at all. He turned around and secretly winked at Xu Zhiqian.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Fan Chunren said excitedly, "You are wrongly accusing me."
Zhang Fei argued, "How am I wrongly accusing someone? Didn't Fan Sijian hear it just now? He himself admitted that it was for money. Then Fan Sijian should think about it. His mother died of illness. Who is the biggest beneficiary? He can finally get the house he wanted."
Fan Chunren said: "You are just speculating, there is no evidence."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I am just guessing. Liang Silu won't listen to me! Haha."
