Hearing this, Su Mingyue did not feel uncomfortable but rather a little happy.
"Does Chief Justice Song mean that this case is a success?"
There was urgency in her tone. She had really fallen out with the Sun family and there was no room for easing. She could only win this lawsuit and not lose.
"It's almost done. The county magistrate has accepted the case and a public trial will be held tomorrow."
"It's worthy of being the top case in the county."
Su Mingyue smiled and said, "You and Magistrate Feng have a teacher-student relationship. Whatever the law is, in the end, it's still people ruling people, and it all comes down to a word."
"I'm really impressed by you."
Song Chi didn't expect Su Mingyue to see things so clearly and get to the heart of the matter. So, was she looking for him just because of his relationship with Magistrate Feng? And not because of his talent?
Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but get angry.
I am obviously very talented, but you are only interested in the connections behind me.
"Madam Su, you're overthinking it. Magistrate Feng and I are not close."
"That doesn't matter. Case No. 1 Song is extremely talented. With you as my lawyer, I'm sure we'll win this case."
This woman is really smart.
"It's not that simple... The magistrate can't just say it and leave it at that."
"No, this case must be won!"
Su Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "I listened to you and... seduced Sun and his son. If I can't win, I will be at a huge loss."
"Are you the one who suffers the loss?"
Song Chi asked back, "If you sold the father and son, they would probably have to count the money for you."
"I don't care."
Su Mingyue said directly: "If you don't help me win this case, I will spread what you taught me and let everyone know how dirty you are as the county's top judge..."
This woman doesn't look like a good person.
Song Chi was too lazy to continue chatting with her, "Come closer, I'll teach you what to do tomorrow..."
Near noon, a big news spread in the county government office. The magistrate will hold a public trial tomorrow to try the case of Sun Cheng, the head of the Sun family, who broke into a private house and took people's lives.
This was the first time the new magistrate tried a case, so it naturally attracted attention. They all knew that the second master and the first master of the county government were not on good terms, and even more people were watching the joke.
Since the matter was made public, the chief secretary of the Criminal Office, Lu Wen, the clerk of the Criminal Office, and the head of the third shift and the servants under him also took sick leave one after another. The county magistrate Dong Weimin approved these people's sick leave and allowed them to rest at home for two days.
It has only been three days since the new magistrate took office, and the two masters have already made their conflict public. Just when you need people, I have dispersed them. What can you do?
This is a slap in your face!
In the county magistrate's office, Dong Weimin had a gloomy face. He didn't want this to happen, after all, it would have a bad impact, but there was really no other way.
"Master, Magistrate Feng has gone to the Sun family in person."
In front of Dong Weimin, a burly man with a full beard, a bumpy face and a fierce look reported.
He is Wang Bao, the head of the county police squad, also known as Captain Wang. His duties include arresting criminals and searching for witnesses.
In addition, he was also the head of the county government's Zhuang Ban. The Zhuang Ban was roughly equivalent to the current armed police. Daily patrols, prison guarding, and guarding the county government were the duties of the Zhuang Ban.
There are three shifts in the county government office, and Wang Bao is the head of two of them. He is not only the bully of the government office, but also the bully of Ji County.
He called Dong Weimin "Master" more affectionately than anyone else. Wang Bao was originally a servant of the Dong family. Later, when Dong Weimin became the county magistrate, he brought Wang Bao into the county government and gave him important power.
"Did he really go?"
Dong Weimin frowned, "It seems I really underestimated this county magistrate."
"If you ask me, just deal with him directly."
Wang Bao said directly: "People are bound to fall when walking at night, and fires are inevitable at home. Isn't this a common thing?"
“Nonsense!”
Dong Weimin angrily scolded, "Do you know the background of this new magistrate?"
"What's the background?"
"Ji County is the hometown of the Prime Minister. The fact that he can be the magistrate here shows that he has a strong background. He can leave here without achieving anything, but he must not die here."
"I'm dead, what else can I do?" Wang Bao was simple-minded but strong-limbed.
"Stupid! If he dies in Ji County, the people behind him will have more reason to send people here, and then more people will be involved. In short, don't touch him!"
Dong Weimin issued a stern warning.
The magistrate was an official appointed by the imperial court, how could he die in obscurity?
Furthermore, the Great Zhou has no tradition of taking drastic measures against political opponents.
"This is a very strange thing. It's definitely not a coincidence that so many lawyers are suing the same person at the same time. You should investigate it. There must be something fishy behind this."
Dong Weimin didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.
"yes."
Wang Bao responded and said, "I heard that Song Chi took on Madam Su's case that day, and then this matter was reported the next day."
"Song Chi? The one who topped the county case?"
"right."
Dong Weimin frowned and murmured, "If that's the case, then it makes sense."
"Master, what you mean is that Song Chi was behind this? Does he have the ability to do that?" Wang Bao was a little unconvinced.
"He even dared to make Young Master Han kneel down. What can't he do?"
Dong Weimin said in a low voice, "Song Chi and County Magistrate Feng already have a master-disciple relationship. It seems that these two have joined forces..."
"No matter what, we must not let Feng Yuan make the final judgment on this case tomorrow."
He stood up and said, "Come with me to the Sun family. I need to explain everything."
…
The next day, early in the morning.
A lot of people have gathered at the gate of the county government office. Today is the day when the new county magistrate will hold a public trial, and the people heard about it and came early to watch the fun.
The so-called public trial is a trial held in public. It is also the best time for the county magistrate to publicize his reputation. Many stories about his impartiality and upright judgment have been spread from this.
