My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 80: No smoke
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
In Judge Zhu Zhenglong’s office, the plaintiff’s chief prosecutor Moxon and deputy prosecutor Lu Ming, and the defendant’s chief defender Richard and deputy defense counsel Lai Deke are all present. Lan
The night before, the night before Lu Ming and Han Anni got married, at the home of a small businessman in downtown Beining, several big men who were threatening the small businessman's wife were knocked unconscious, and then the patrol police arrived.
The spirits of several big men were greatly damaged, as if they had seen ghosts, and they confessed that they were sent by Ma Huanzhai, the master of Ma Quanyou.
The transcript written by the wife of a small businessman also stated that these murderers threatened her son and said that they would find a way to make her meet her husband, and asked her husband to be in the jury no matter what if he wanted his wife to be safe. When the jury decides, vote against conviction.
Now, all these materials have been sent to Zhu Zhenglong's head.
"This is a frame-up! Our client was originally innocent!" Lai Deke looked angry.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. His marriage with the Han family turned Beining into his territory to some extent. Before coming to Wu'an, he actually didn't think about it in the long term. Many things were just coincidences. .
Richard gently pressed Laideke's shoulder, and Laideke immediately fell silent. Lan
Richard said calmly: "No matter what the truth is, I think the detailed identities of the jurors have been leaked. Now it is just revealed that someone is threatening the jurors. What about the others who have not been exposed?" After a pause, "In view of this, I ask your honor to declare this to be a mistrial."
Moxon was stunned and turned to look at Lu Ming.
Because it is obvious that during the several court trials, Richard's legal team was actually in a state of suppression, and we have been resisting hard. Until now, hundreds of witnesses and thousands of testimonies prepared have not been able to be presented in court.
But what now? Barrister Richard instead asked for a mistrial?
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Your Honor, in fact, from the perspective of imperial legal procedures, the identities of jurors are usually public. If every trial has to worry about whether some jurors have been bribed or coerced, then The foundation of our law no longer exists. What we should do now is to work harder to create a comfortable environment for jurors and build a firewall between outside information and the jury, instead of giving up because of choking. If your honor, Declaring this a mistrial, we re-indicted, re-selected the jury, and even prosecuted again in another place, but in the end, we still have to face the concerns of Barrister Richard."
After a pause, "Attorney Richard is one of the most outstanding criminal defense lawyers in the empire, so his current worries are incredible to me, because in southern courts, Attorney Richard most of the time faces Yes, but the jury’s identity information is fully disclosed! So, I can only think that lawyer Richard’s remarks are discriminatory against us in the Northern Territory. From the people to the judicial system, lawyer Richard is discriminating against us. ! ”
Richard's face immediately darkened, and he slowly turned to look at Lu Ming, his eyes a little gloomy, "Did Lu Ming teach you these words?" Lan
The tone of these so-called President Zhang’s words is so familiar, and the offensive and oppressive feeling is also so familiar.
It suddenly seemed as if he had returned to a long, long time ago. There was only one person who had ever given him this feeling.
Lu Ming spread his hands and said to Zhu Zhenglong: "Look, your honor, what I said is right, right? Could I have predicted that he wanted to apply for a mistrial? So I still need someone to teach me to say these words? Isn't this right? Isn’t it enough to discriminate against us Northern Territory people?”
Richard sneered: "You don't have to be modest about your master's abilities, just let him do it!"
Lai Deke lowered his head in embarrassment. It seemed that every time the teacher mentioned Lawyer Lu, who is now His Royal Highness the Prince of Montenegro, he would become different from usual. He completely lost his calmness and wisdom. In private, Give yourself a few examples, and sometimes you will mention "Lu Ming", and you will immediately feel like you are gnashing your teeth. I really don't know what kind of person that His Highness the Prince is, and he has left such a big shadow on the teacher. .
Now it’s happening again. It suddenly went off topic, as if we were going to have a private duel with someone. The focus is not at all on what you just suggested.
It’s strange that this country bumpkin judge would take your advice into consideration. Lan
Lu Ming looked helpless and looked at Zhu Zhenglong, "Your honor, look at what Attorney Richard said? I have nothing to say!"
Zhu Zhenglong nodded: "The trial will continue, but Barrister Richard can rest assured that we will strictly cut off the jury's contact with the outside world, and the trial will also be accelerated to avoid unnecessary complications."
Inside and outside the words, I still have great respect for this prestigious barrister, although Richard, the barrister, suddenly became a little neurotic.
Richard snorted and stopped talking.
……
The antique study room of the Lu family mansion has pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, and there is a wooden couch by the carved paper window where you can lie down and rest. It is very reminiscent of Lu Ming's previous life in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
"Richard wants the trial to be invalidated?" Han Anni was also a little surprised. Lan
Lu Ming smiled: "This old fox is aware of the danger. From the time I married your Han family to the success of naming Qi Huairen as the 40th defendant, he naturally smelled something unusual. He should have realized it soon. We are about to counterattack, and the offensive will be very fierce. Everything has deviated from the track he originally expected..."
Han Anni nodded: "It must have suddenly given him a familiar feeling. I have seen the file records of his fight with you. He used to fight with you, and he was inexplicably brought into your rhythm. Now , gave him the same feeling, right?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Honey, it turns out you have studied the lawsuits I fought. Am I good at it?"
"It's just a political marriage, you said it yourself just now!" Han Anni snorted.
Han Anni has a tall figure, looks like a prosecutor standing proudly in a dark blue skirt, is dignified and beautiful, and has an indescribable charm.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I also said that we are destined for three lives and three lives!" He had already stood up and walked to her, gently hugging her slender waist.
Han Anni was unprepared and subconsciously covered her chest with her arms, but Lu Ming had already kissed her forehead gently and let her go. He smiled and said, "The tape video projector that our Huaxia Company has a patent for just came out. There is one sent from Donghai. It is still in the experimental stage, but it will definitely sell well in the future. Let’s give it a try first and watch the video tapes. They are all old movies that my film company has the copyright to. We don’t need to go to the cinema to watch this video tape! It's not mass production, but special production. It's a few films that I requested, and they were specially pressed. So, in the world, except for front-line R&D personnel, we are the first people to watch cassette tapes and videos! Annie, we can be counted! History has been made!" Lan
"Huaxia Company belongs to you?..." Han Anni was startled.
In fact, this has never been a secret among the upper class society in the East China Sea. Huaxia Group is one of the group companies publicly held by Lu Ming.
Han Anni is not sensitive to this information, otherwise, she would have access to this information.
Lu Ming coughed: "It seems that my husband has to tell you about our family's background!"
Han Anni snorted, followed Lu Ming and took two steps out, saying, "Call Zihan, I haven't seen her in several days!"
Lu Ming was startled: "Is that okay?" He chuckled again: "This is just like watching an indoor movie. You have to close the curtain, otherwise you can't see clearly."
"Call her. After this lawsuit is over, you don't know what to do. I made an agreement with Zihan a few days ago and asked her to follow me to the Donghai Prosecutor's Office. She is very good. Qualifications, being your servant is such a waste!" He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "You don't agree, do you?" Lan
Lu Ming was startled and said: "Return to the East China Sea? Annie, actually I thought this lawsuit was over and you were going to Beiheishan to be the High Court Judge! Zihan would have no problem following you then." He added: "I hope that when Maimang and Richard confront each other, you will fight against him and win the case. There will be no obstacles in inviting you to be the judge of the Northern Montenegro High Court."
Annie Han was stunned: "Am I fighting against Attorney Richard?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Don't be afraid, I can also look at the situation. Let's talk about it when I am at an absolute advantage. If I am always at a disadvantage, of course I can't let my dear wife take the blame!" He smiled again: "Now, I still want to Don’t you want to be called Zihan? Or should we live in a world of two?”
"I'll call her!" When Han Anni opened the door, she turned around and said, "You are already a god, so of course you deserve to be treated like a god, let's have a threesome!"
Lu Ming was startled. Although in later generations, Western non-marriageists were mostly open to sex, Anne wouldn't be so exaggerated.
Then he noticed the teasing in Han Anni's beautiful eyes. Lu Ming had no choice but to make fun of himself again.
I really have to live a ridiculous life often before I can really take it seriously. In fact, if I think about it, I should know that I am definitely kidding myself. Lan
