Lu Ming woke up very early in the morning, sitting by the phone and reading the newspaper delivered by Qing'e 20.
Qing'e is twenty, and from now on she will be responsible for the safety of the house here.
Han Anni and Xue Zihan both got up a little late after a long journey.
Lu Ming is naturally waiting for Wu An's call. Today is the day when Zhu Zhenglong will rule on the punishment of Ma Quanyou's officer group.
Because Lu Ming was sitting in the middle of the sofa, Han Anni and Xue Zihan sat next to him on the left and right. They also took books or newspapers to read, but they glanced at the phone nervously from time to time.
"Ring ring ring" the phone rang suddenly.
Han Anni was close and hurriedly handed the phone to Lu Ming. Lu Ming smiled: "It shouldn't be so early."
Picked up the phone, but the man's slightly older voice came from inside, "My dear son-in-law, it's me, Han Renwang!"
"Oh, father-in-law!" Lu Ming greeted with a smile.
With today's telephones, Han Anni naturally heard Han Renwang talking and curled her lips.
"Son-in-law, where is Ma Quanyou's case? I'm afraid we won't be able to judge today. Zhu Zhenglong has entered the hospital." Han Renwang smiled bitterly, "I tried my best, but I can't help you."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I would be very grateful if my father-in-law could ask about this matter!" Han Renwang was never asked to participate in it. This case is too sensitive and involves the foundation of the Qi Huaide Group. Therefore, although Zhu Zhenglong belongs to Han Renwang He governs the judge, but if he and he are in a different place, he will have a headache no matter how he sentences him.
Then we can only delay and wait and see how the situation in northern Xinjiang changes.
In fact, I could have given him a way out. For example, after the verdict, he could seek asylum from the Principality of Montenegro. Of course, many benefits would have to be promised.
But such a verdict is meaningless, and it further humiliates my intention of fighting this lawsuit, so I decided to wait and see what happens.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming glanced at Han Anni and said, "We can't decide today, and it should take a long time."
Han Anni's pretty face darkened slightly and lowered her head: "Oh."
Lu Ming said softly: "Actually, we have already won, but the sentencing process is just short of that. Instead of letting it go lightly now, I think it may not be a good thing to delay it. The Ma Quanyou Group has been sentenced in the court in northern Xinjiang If you are convicted of crimes against humanity, many evil deeds can be reported by the northern Xinjiang media. Look what Qi Huaide did!"
Lu Ming took Han Anni's hand: "Regardless of the sentencing or not, we won the lawsuit and we should celebrate. What do you want? Tell us."
Han Anni still shook her head, her face filled with gloom and heartache.
Lu Ming couldn't help but gently hug her into his arms.
Han Anni didn't struggle, she had no strength in her body and needed a warm embrace to rely on.
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't call you a bastard..." Lu Ming gently hugged her soft body and whispered.
The horrific collective atrocities in the war are nothing compared to the actions of any perverted murderer. Han Anni is just a girl in her early twenties, she has to face those cruel **** scenes, and she has to After knowing it thoroughly and telling it to the jury, it can be said that she is very strong.
"Look forward in the future and prepare to take over new jobs, okay."
Han Anni nodded slightly, but hugged Lu Ming tighter.
Lu Ming turned around and saw that Xue Zihan was no longer there.
……
January 1, 1955.
A grand ceremony was held in front of the General Building in the Black Mountain Special Administrative Region (formerly Black Mountain Special City).
Lu Ming took the scepter from the Archbishop of Blackshanbao Diocese and the golden map of Blackshanbao area, which also represented the official demarcation of the boundaries of the Principality of Blackshanbao, the territory of the Prince of Blackshanbao.
In fact, under the pressure of the imperial royal family, the archbishops of this world are more like the ceremonial officers of the royal family, mascots used to represent the divine right of kings.
For example, the archbishop of Black Mountain Castle was appointed by Lu Ming, who was originally a priest of Princess Alice's Privy Council.
The archbishop does not have a church, but is more like a priest accompanying the powerful.
When the principality was established, the original Montenegro headquarters no longer existed, but the principality's cabinet was formed.
At the same time, the Prince's Privy Council was formally established, and the main members of the cabinet, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Principality, the speaker, etc., were appointed as privy ministers.
The various ceremonies of the day are grand and solemn.
Representatives from all the members of the Eastern Alliance, the four northern provinces, and even the Kingdom of Japan came to watch the ceremony.
The eldest prince also sent a special envoy to sign a territorial contract with the Prince of Montenegro on behalf of the eldest prince, the king of the Kingdom of Grifenni.
The prince of Montenegro was given the privileged treatment of being exempted from any kingdom taxes for fifty years.
Of course, the territory granted to Prince Heishanbao by the eldest prince is only the Jiangnan area of Zhenjiang Autonomous Province and Heishanbao Special Administrative Region.
Part of the land in the Heishan Autonomous Territory in the north of Jiangbei (formerly Wanzhou Road and Nanping Road) and the Northern Heishan Autonomous Territory belong to the territory developed by the principality itself and have nothing to do with the kingdom.
These lands originally belonged to the Four Provinces of the Northern Territory.
In fact, the contract was originally only symbolic. Even the emperor had no right to grant any territory to the nobility.
But it was originally a place ruled by the Prince of Blackshank. The people voted in referendum to form the Principality of Blackshank. The series of ancient processes that followed were just the icing on the cake.
……
In the General Building, opposite Lu Ming sat an old Western man with a stern face, Barrister Federman Gao, Vice Chairman of the Imperial Bar Association.
Today, most "imperial" affairs institutions are actually at a standstill.
However, the operation of the Bar Association was not affected at all.
Because the Bar Association has always been an independent organization, although the headquarters is in the imperial capital, the eldest prince has no influence on these senior barristers.
Although the Kingdom of Sonia, whose second prince is king, has become independent from the Kingdom of Grifenni, the barristers of the Kingdom of Sonia still accept the Imperial Bar Association as the ruling body for their code of conduct.
However, not to mention the Four Provinces of the Northern Territory, the Five Provinces of Jiangnan and other Northern Territory areas, the Bar Association has never regarded it as a place ruled by law. Lawyer licenses obtained in the Five Jiangnan Provinces will not be obtained. Recognized by the Bar Association, if you want to litigate in the core areas of the empire, you must obtain a local lawyer's license.
It was naturally the first time for Senior Barrister Federman to come to the Northern Territory.
"Before I came here, I met Wenhua in the East China Sea and said that His Highness the Prince should have been a landmark figure in our judicial history. His Highness the Prince's future brilliance will definitely be incomparable to us old men!", Fede Old Man Man's face was full of pain.
"Wenhua" naturally refers to Li Guan.
Feldman has been saying similar things over and over again for a while. He is too old, and it may be true that no matter how good he was once, his brain will become dull one day.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Uncle Federman, I actually think that promoting the rule of law in the Northern Territory is more meaningful than being a lawyer in the East China Sea. Don't you think so?"
Feldman was startled, and then sighed deeply: "Richard, that kid, shouldn't have taken the job of defending barbarians!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Uncle Federman, others don't know, but you still don't understand after reading the files? At that time, our Montenegro lawyer team was about to blow the horn of counterattack. We had a high probability of winning the case. Why assassinate him?"
Feldman sighed, "Wenhua also said a lot of things, and he didn't think you could do that kind of thing, but what about your subordinates? Have you ever thought about it? They don't know that you are going to have the upper hand. ?"
Lu Ming waved his hand: "No, if it was my people who assassinated lawyer Richard, why did they choose the time when the head of my legal team drank tea with him and died of poison? This was not intentional. Do you have any clue? Uncle Federman, please rest assured that I will get to the bottom of this matter."
Feldman nodded: "Then you must hurry up. Many people in the Bar Association are asking for a statement to condemn you, and at the same time, your lawyer license must be revoked."
"I don't care about the ignorance of the world. Time will tell us all the truth!" Lu Ming sighed, "But what I regret most is that I didn't send anyone to protect lawyer Richard. This was my negligence. ."
Feldman said in confusion: "Didn't the warlords there send soldiers to protect them?"
Lu Ming knew that the old man did not know what he really meant by "protection", so he nodded lightly: "I will send some of my most trusted and capable subordinates to the Northern Territory recently. I hope to urge and assist them to investigate as soon as possible. The truth behind the death of Lawyer Ming Richard."
Federman nodded: "I hope the truth can be revealed! There, alas..." Obviously, he didn't have much confidence in finding out the truth, but he did believe that Lu Ming was not the instigator.
Glancing at Lu Ming, Federman shook his head helplessly: "If I persuade you to follow me to the Imperial Capital now, others will think I'm crazy! Alas, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, it's just such a pity!"
Lu Ming could only smile and say nothing.
