Chapter 237: Attempting to overturn the verdict?
The courtroom was filled with excitement, and everyone was waiting for Gu Xiaojiao to ask the last question.
The little green-eyed boy saw that things were going badly and almost lowered his head to the table.
She felt that everyone in the court was pointing fingers at her, and she wanted to escape from the court several times out of shame.
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Xiaolu's lawyer was sweating profusely. He quickly stopped Gu Xiaojiao from talking and said:
“Please don’t ask questions that are irrelevant to this case, Ms. Gu. What you said is just your thoughts and cannot be used as evidence to be submitted to the court.
Please provide sufficient evidence to prove that your article was written earlier than my client's. Words are inherently coincidental, and what you said cannot serve as a legal basis. ”
Gu Xiaojiao certainly knew that these things could not serve as a strong chain of evidence, but could only serve as a partial chain of evidence to acknowledge the fact that she created the work.
Of course, she had other things to say. She glanced sharply at the other lawyer and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I haven't asked my last question yet. My last question is that the plaintiff Xiaolu claims that you wrote the original article about 꺘눁 months ago.
So let me ask you, why is there an excerpt from my essay published in October two years ago in your article? Are you plagiarizing me, or are you deliberately paying tribute to me? ”
This was the question that Gu Xiaojiao wanted to ask in the end. She searched through the documents in her hand and submitted the evidence enclosed in the book to the presiding judge.
Her evidence was a magazine from two years ago, which contained an article she had published two years ago.
Gu Xiaojiao found the repeated paragraphs in the two articles and showed them to the presiding judge.
At this moment, the other party had nothing to say. This evidence was more convincing than the sample magazine provided by Xiaolu.
It was also thanks to Gu Xiaojiao that she was lazy occasionally. She was busy enough at the magazine, and she also had to participate in various essay competitions according to the school's requirements.
Most of the time she creates new content, but occasionally she extracts some essence from some of her previous articles.
Anyway, they are all her works, so it doesn't matter if you quote them without citing the source.
After Xiaolu couldn't come up with any rebuttal, Gu Xiaojiao launched her final attack of the day:
"Plaintiff Xiaolu, I don't know who leaked my manuscript to you. Your behavior of stealing the manuscript and falsely accusing me has seriously violated my creative rights and my reputation.
I will appeal to you again, but you are still young. If you can find me and tell me who asked you to do this, then maybe I will reconsider it. ”
This is a direct threat and hint in court.
But no one present felt that Gu Xiaojiao had gone too far, because she was the one who was plagiarized and wronged.
The facts were already very clear, and the final decision of the court was naturally without suspense. Gu Xiaojiao won the case.
This plagiarism incident eventually became a one-man show directed and performed by Xiaolu himself.
Outside the court, Gu Xiaojiao waited for Xiaolu at the door for a long time before she came out. When Xiaolu entered the court, she was crying pitifully.
Now that he has lost the lawsuit, he looks thin and pale, and appears to be increasingly frail.
After a few days, all the information about Xiaolu's plagiarism and false accusations will be published in the newspapers, and Xiaolu will face a situation of total disgrace.
She went out and saw Gu Xiaojiao waiting at the door. She deliberately walked away and avoided Gu Xiaojiao.
This action made Gu Xiaojiao even more certain that someone was instructing Xiaolu to do this.
Ever since Gu Xiaojiao left the magazine, Xiaolu has become the new darling of October magazine.
If no one instructed her to do so, with her status in the magazine, she would not have done anything that might get her scolded by everyone.
Now Gu Yujiao has made it clear that she is willing to give her a chance to make amends. As long as she tells the truth, she will not sue her again for this matter.
But Xiaolu doesn't even want such an opportunity.
Gu Xiaojiao leaned against the wooden fence at the entrance of the court. The long branches cast several shadows on her face. She looked at Zheng Yunsheng casually and said lazily:
"It seems that the person behind her is not simple. Even when I threw out the bait that I would not sue her as long as she told the truth, she did not dare to betray the person behind her.
I don't know who it is, but they are targeting me. ”
No matter what, since the other party doesn't even dare to betray Xiaolu, he definitely won't be a small character like Bai Shengli.
Although she couldn't be sure of the other party's identity, Gu Jiao was not worried.
A person with a clear conscience fears no slander. For example, Zheng Yunsheng is no longer a small fry that can be easily manipulated.
As long as the people behind the scenes still want to bring down Gu Xiaojiao, they will make a move sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time before they are exposed.
When enemies come, we can stop them with soldiers; when water comes, we can block it with earth.
The two walked along the road to where Zheng Yunsheng parked his car, and drove back to the courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, Xie Jinxiang took a brazier and lit charcoal, and insisted that Gu Xiaojiao step over it to avoid bad luck. In Xie Jinxiang's eyes, going to the court or the government office was the same, both would bring bad luck.
Although Gu Xiaojiao didn't really believe this, she still obediently followed Xie Jinxiang's wishes.
As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, Gu Xiaojiao felt that she could compromise, and her parents were happy.
And regarding this aspect, it would be wrong to say that she didn't believe it at all. After all, she was a person who had special experiences.
뀞 felt that these superstitious things were somewhat subtle. Sometimes she even went to the temple to ask for a blessed charm to wear.
Gu Xiaojiao discovered that this time the parents were also different from the previous ones.
When my parents first followed Gu Xiaojiao to the city, they stole vegetables from other people's homes, climbed other people's fruit trees, and even stole other people's shoes that were drying on the wall.
He caused a lot of trouble for Gu Xiaojiao.
This time, my parents never did these things after moving to the city.
Or maybe they were too poor before. After Xie Jinxiang and Gu Dagan moved to the city, they relied on Gu Xiaojiao for support, so the old couple did those stupid things that made people angry.
Now that living conditions are good, Gu Xiaojiao has a stable job and a fixed income, so she has no time to think about those crooked things.
Gu Xiaojiao was already very satisfied with her parents' current state, so she was willing to follow their decisions on some small matters.
It’s just that after crossing the brazier, you have to put it away quickly, so that no one can see it and say that they still believe in old ideas.
After returning home, Gu Xiaojiao hurried to feed the child, and only after feeding the child did the family sit down and start eating.
On the first day, the news that Xiaolu plagiarized and was blamed for it was spread wildly in large and small paper media.
Because of Gu Xiaojiao's fame, Xiaolu instantly became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted at.
It was just another interview news published in the Yanjing Daily, which was just as popular as the Xiaolu plagiarism incident.
At noon, Gu Xiaojiao and Zheng Yunsheng were in the magazine's office, discussing this interview with the Yanjing Daily.
The person being interviewed was Lin Kai, Bai Anquan's brother-in-law and Bai Shengli's uncle. He was the one who arranged for Bai Shengli to enter Yenching University.
In the interview, he revealed a lot of information, saying that Bai Anquan was set up by Zheng Yunsheng and Wan Chongjiang and sent to prison.
It was also said that Zheng Yunsheng replaced Bai Shengli's college entrance examination scores and entered Yenching University.
Fearing that Wan Chongjiang would continue to embarrass Bai Anquan, Bai Shengli chose to say nothing, continued to study silently, and was admitted to Yenching University again.
Lin Kai said that they gave in step by step, but they didn't expect Zheng Yunsheng to press on step by step. After Bai Shengli was admitted to Yenching University again, Gu Yujiao slandered and defamed Bai Shengli again.
This time, he did not want to back down and decided to stand up and expose the crimes of Zheng Yunsheng and Wan Chongjiang colluding to embezzle land, framing Bai Anquan, and Zheng Yunsheng replacing the college entrance examination scores.
At this moment, Gu Xiaojiao and Zheng Yunsheng understood why Bai Anquan dared to send Bai Shengli to Yanjing University. Zheng Yunsheng's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and his tone was faint:
"Are they trying to overturn Bai An'an's verdict?"
