Lu Bangxing's words not only made Cao Dongdong crazy, but also made Xu Zhiqian and others frown, and also caused the people outside the courtyard to talk about it.
Since ancient times, the weak plus the "victim", plus the other side is the ruling class, can always gain 50% trust for no reason.
Even if the truth eventually comes out, some people will try to excuse the weak from various angles.
"What were we busy with before?"
Wei Yingfang, who came quietly here in plain clothes to listen to the discussion, couldn't help but sigh when he heard the people's discussions behind him, "The best way to deal with the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs is actually the justice, fairness and openness advocated by the imperial court.
There are only honest officials in this world, but there has never been an honest government office. It's a pity that we always use illegal things to compete with the public security, procuratorate and courts. It's no wonder that we have been defeated one after another."
Cao Yi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He was the one who had been making all the plans before, but now he realized that his previous plans were indeed extremely wrong, and had prevented the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs from growing in such a short period of time.
If they did nothing, the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs would definitely not be as prosperous as they are now and would not have so much support from the people.
Cao Yi nodded and said, "President Wei is right. We did make mistakes before. Fortunately, it is not too late. Now we can use the law to deal with the public security, procuratorate and courts, and shake their position in the hearts of the people. At the same time, we can use the public security, procuratorate and courts to deal with the Qingmiao Law, and thus shake the court's support for the public security, procuratorate and courts."
Wei Yingfang nodded and said with a smile: "This is the solution!"
...
...
In court, since the other party opposed all the accusations, it was natural for the case to enter into the rebuttal phase.
Lu Bangxing was from Tokyo Bianliang, so he was very familiar with this set of rules. He stood up and asked Cao Dongdong, "I heard that Superintendent Cao's father is the chief superintendent of the police station and the deputy commander of the imperial guards."
Zhang Fei almost banged the gavel when he heard this, but Xu Zhiqian beside him reminded him, "You are the presiding judge now."
Zhang Fei put down the gavel and looked at Cao Dongdong depressedly, thinking, I asked you to ask for a pen, but you refused. Now you don’t even have the right to object.
Cao Dongdong still said proudly: "Not bad."
Don’t you know what tsundere is? I’m so good at reincarnation, I just want to ask you if you are envious.
But it attracted a lot of contemptuous looks.
Now everyone knows that this boy became Chief Superintendent of Police at such a young age thanks to his father.
Lu Bangxing asked again, "I heard that Superintendent Cao has many wives and concubines at home. Is that true?"
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "That's right."
At this point, the audience outside couldn't help themselves and the discussion immediately became heated.
"Look! Look! I was right. This kind of young master is always greedy and lustful. He must have robbed the woman and hurt innocent people, and then turned the tables. Those two are the good people who are truly brave and righteous."
"Luckily, the two of them invited Erbi. The others before them were really stupid for not inviting Erbi."
"Maybe there's no money."
"Judge Zhang should ask the Legal Aid Department for help!"
"It seems that the Royal Court is somewhat biased towards the Royal Police."
"We are all royals, how can we not protect each other?"
Cao Dongdong was a man of character. Upon hearing those discussions, he immediately turned around and retorted, "If you don't know, then don't talk nonsense. Although I have many concubines, they were all bought legally."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the relevant personnel from the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments present lowered their heads.
There were boos all around.
Chen Qi also realized that this guy might be the biggest loophole in the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, and said depressedly: "Why did the court let him be the superintendent of police at that time? Isn't this deliberately harming us?"
Su Che was also worried, but he said helplessly: "If it weren't for his identity, the development of the police station would not be smooth sailing. It would be difficult to move forward."
If someone else had been replaced, would the military have given the police station face and allowed them to recruit people from the camp?
Xu Zhiqian whispered, "He has been with you for so long, how come he hasn't learned anything at all."
Zhang Fei sighed: "If he is willing to learn, will he be willing to pay me a high price?"
As he spoke, he quickly struck the gavel, "Silence! Silence!"
After the courtyard was quiet, Zhang Fei asked Lu Bangxing, "Lu Erbi, what do these questions have to do with this case?"
"Feel sorry!"
Lu Bangxing immediately stopped while he was ahead. He knew very well that if Zhang Fei was sitting opposite him, he would not let him ask a single question. Now Zhang Fei also gave him enough face, allowing him to achieve his desired goal, which was to portray Cao Dongdong as a lustful man.
He then turned to Cao Dongdong and asked, "Superintendent Cao, may I ask what was your purpose in going to South Street on the day of the incident?"
Cao Dongdong was no longer as calm as before, and replied unhappily: "What else can you do in the evening on South Street besides eating?"
I heard someone shouting: "Whoever goes to the fireworks place on South Street to eat is probably looking for fun."
Zhang Fei, who had nothing to do, started wiping his hands with a silk handkerchief, his mind racing as he thought about how to help this kid. If this continued, everything would be over!
Cao Dongdong turned around and said with disdain: "So what? Is it illegal? If you have money, you can go too!"
Bang!
Zhang Fei banged the gavel hard, "Superintendent Cao, can you be more professional?"
Cao Dongdong snorted and turned his head away, looking aggrieved.
You are still feeling wronged, I will settle the score with you later. Zhang Fei frowned and looked at Lu Bangxing, hinting, you have had enough! You bully the other party for not having an Er pen and resort to such crooked methods. You are making things difficult for me.
Lu Bangxing hurriedly explained: "Please don't blame me, Judge. I asked this question because it is very relevant to this case."
Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with worry, and he said, "Then go ahead and ask, but you must explain this point later."
"yes."
Lu Bangxing bowed and continued, "Superintendent Cao should also go to that fireworks place often, right?"
"Yes! Can't I go?" Cao Dongdong nodded and admitted it frankly.
Lu Bangxing asked, "May I ask Superintendent Cao, in this place of fireworks, is it rare or common to laugh and make out?"
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "But that was in the house, not on the street."
Lu Bangxing said: "Superintendent Cao, please answer my question."
Cao Dongdong said: "It is quite common in the house."
Lu Bangxing continued to ask, "Inspector Cao said he saw Kong Tai and Sun Sheng stop a woman on the street, smiling and touching her. Did Inspector Cao hear what they were saying at the time?"
Cao Dongdong shook his head and said, "They were standing across the street, but I didn't hear them."
Lu Bangxing asked: "You didn't hear anything, why did you conclude that they were molesting the woman?"
Cao Dongdong said: "Although I didn't hear it, I saw it, so how can I be wrong?"
Lu Bangxing asked, "Does Superintendent Cao know that the woman is a singing girl from Wanhua Tower on South Street?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar inside and outside the courtyard.
Even Cai Jing, Cai Jing and others were all shocked.
Zhang Fei turned around and looked at Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian whispered, "The woman's confession didn't say what she did."
Zhang Fei frowned again and looked at Ma Xiaoyi, shaking the document in his hand slightly, as if asking, "Why didn't you ask such a crucial question?"
Ma Xiaoyi looked innocent.
Su Che couldn't help but frown and said, "This is bad."
Cao Dongdong scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Lu Bangxing asked, "Didn't Superintendent Cao ask at the time?"
Cao Dongdong shook his head and said, "When I went up, I started fighting with the two of them. I didn't have time to ask."
Lu Bangxing asked again, "Just now, when I heard Judge Zhang hearing the case, he repeatedly emphasized the Royal Police's Code of Conduct, which included that the first step for the Royal Police to enforce the law is to reveal their identity. Did Superintendent Cao reveal his identity at that time?"
"No!"
Cao Dongdong shook his head guiltily.
Lu Bangxing's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked, "As a superintendent, can I not abide by the Royal Police's Code of Conduct?"
Cao Dongdong glanced at Zhang Fei secretly.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he turned his head away, he felt like vomiting blood, "Brother, this trial I am doing is teaching the people a lesson and promoting the Royal Police's Code of Conduct. And you are doing this to me? You are still a superintendent of police, are you here to mess things up?"
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, "The court was closed at that time, and I was resting, not on duty. I didn't even wear a police uniform. I just went there to do what was right. Why should I reveal my identity?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had learned something.
Lu Bangxing frowned slightly. "Superintendent Cao shouted loudly without revealing his identity and knowing the truth, and directly slandered Kong Tai and Sun Sheng. Didn't Superintendent Cao think that this might cause misunderstandings and conflicts?"
Cao Dongdong blinked and said, "I am always good at doing good things, but I am never afraid and I don't think too much. I am not blaming them for fighting back, and the police station is not going to sue them for assaulting police officers, but for molesting women and provoking trouble."
Lu Bangxing asked, "If they already knew each other and were just fooling around on the street, but they were beaten up by Inspector Cao for nothing, how does Inspector Cao think we should deal with this?"
Cao Dongdong yelled, "Stop talking nonsense here, you bastard. Can't I see that they were just teasing and playing around? If they were just playing around, I would resign immediately."
"Superintendent Cao."
Zhang Fei quickly stopped him and said, "This is the imperial court, not a gambling house. Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Bangxing immediately said, "I beg Judge Zhang to summon the victim, Han Dongniang."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown.
Cao Dongdong also shouted: "Let it spread. This police chief is upright and upright. I am not afraid of you. If they didn't molest that woman, I don't care about my head."
You idiot, the victim becomes the defendant's witness, there must be something fishy going on! Zhang Fei cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do but summon Han Dongniang to court.
Su Che could not help but say to Chen Qi and Wang Shen: "We still have a long way to go!"
The two nodded.
They can hold their ground, but that doesn't mean the others won't be caught by the other side.
After a while, a young woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a veil, came into the court.
Zhang Fei said: "Han Dongniang, if it is convenient, please pick
"yes."
Han Dongniang chose the Northern Song Dynasty, and she must not choose people based on their appearance, because the talented men in the Northern Song Dynasty preferred singing girls with excellent talents, and appearance was only secondary.
Lu Bangxing asked, "Han Dongniang, are you married?"
Han Dongniang shook her head.
Lu Bangxing asked again: "Then how do you make a living?"
Han Dongniang said: "I am a singing girl in Wanhua Tower."
"Do you know them?"
Lu Bangxing extended his hand to Kong Tai and Sun Sheng.
Han Dongniang's curved eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced at Kong Tai and Sun Sheng. A hint of guilt flashed in the eyes of Kong and Sun.
"I know him." Han Dongniang nodded slightly.
Lu Bangxing asked again: "I wonder how you know them?"
Han Dongniang hesitated for a moment and said, "I felt unwell the day before yesterday and wanted to go home to rest, but as soon as I got to the street, I was stopped by these two people. They insisted that I accompany them to drink, and even spoke frivolously to me and tried to hold me back with their hands. Fortunately, I was saved."
As she said this, she glanced at Cao Dongdong and said, "Fortunately, this good man came to our aid."
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "Of course, of course. I told you, can't I tell the difference between teasing and playing around?"
What's going on? Zhang Fei opened his eyes and looked at Lu Bangxing again.
Lu Bangxing looked stunned. After a moment, he suddenly asked excitedly, "Didn't you know them before?"
Han Dongniang shook her head. "I don't know them."
Lu Bangxing said hurriedly: "But they have been to Wanhua Tower, how could you not recognize them?"
The tone seemed to be a reminder.
Han Dongniang said coldly: "I just play the piano and sing. There are so many customers in the store every day. How can I know all of them? But they seemed to recognize me. When they stopped me, I remember that person called out my name."
As she spoke, she pointed at Kong Tai.
