My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 45: The second round of long-arm jurisdiction
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Although more and more skyscrapers are rising from the ground in the East, the Tower Restaurant of the Empire State Building is still the tallest restaurant in the world.
This landscape restaurant is located on the top floor of the Empire State Building, 450 meters above the ground. Looking out, there are rows of glass-curtained buildings, and further away, there is a line of blue sea and sky. Sitting here to dine, overlooking the bustling scene of the East China Sea. , it will involuntarily make people feel proud that everything is at their feet.
At this time, at a table by the window, opposite Lu Ming, there was an old gentleman with gray hair sitting in a suit and leather shoes, looking very gentlemanly.
But it was a distant visitor from Andong Province, Mr. Wang Jingren, who was a very famous general in Andong Province.
But in fact, like Lu Ming, he is a second-stage lawyer.
Because the bar associations in the five Jiangnan provinces are in name only, their assessment scores are not recognized by the judicial circles in other parts of the empire.
The bar associations of the five provinces only have the right to issue second-level lawyer certificates at best.
In the five provinces of Jiangnan, when litigating a lawsuit, it is very rare to ask for a jury trial, because in criminal cases, if the prosecutor basically prosecutes, the judge will definitely convict.
In economic cases, the administration decides everything, and it depends on who has the most energy behind it.
When foreign judges come to the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, they also follow the local customs. If their power is not supervised, who wouldn't like red and green bills and young and beautiful women?
There has never been a saint in this world.
Wang Jingren, Fang Lao’s old friend, recommended Lu Ming’s Wang Dazhuang to Li Youmei.
At this time, Li Youmei was sitting aside, pouring tea and water for the two of them.
"Twenty years ago, I came to the East China Sea. What a big change!" Looking out the window, Wang Jingren sighed with emotion.
However, it is a sigh of relief that Wang Dazhuang will not regret not coming to the East China Sea for development.
After all, he is now a celebrity among celebrities in the provincial capital of Andong. He has been specially hired by the governor to serve as an advisor to the Legislative Yuan. In terms of wealth, he is rich in wealth and has thousands of acres of fertile land.
But such a celebrity is completely powerless against Meng Xiaolou's case.
Because from the tradition of Andong and even the five provinces of Jiangnan, the word "official" is sacred and inviolable. As long as you are still wearing the official skin, even if you will be punished the next day, you are still a person the day before. A saint is a perfect character who cannot be changed by wealth or poverty. He cannot tolerate any criticism. No matter how absurd the policy is, it is only for the benefit of the people under his rule.
The city-level consuls are even more senior officials in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River. No matter what the cause of his death, the murderer must die.
Meng Xiaolou’s survival probably depends entirely on Wang Jingren’s activities.
It seems that Li Youmei is very grateful to Wang Jingren.
And Wang Jingren said that he was a huge fan of Li Youmei.
After that, he started to make more plans. After hearing that Li Youmei said that he had not seen Lu Ming for a long time, he would not hesitate to come to the East China Sea again twenty years later.
Of course he also invited this meal. In his words, he wanted to invite Lawyer Lu at "the best restaurant in the East China Sea".
In fact, for ordinary rich people, the Tower Restaurant is indeed a golden sign, but for the real upper class in Donghai, the general public has never heard of such extremely luxurious private clubs.
Watch the eyes and body language of Wang Jingren and Li Youmei when they communicate.
Lu Ming looked out the window, what if he wasn't so sensitive? You will feel that this world is very beautiful, and there are many kind-hearted and selfless people like Lawyer Wang.
"Mr. Meng's case is very difficult for Anton." Lu Ming pondered, "Although there is a military court in the East China Sea, which has recently expanded the scope of excusable acts of self-defense, and may be cited in the civil court, but in When Anton goes to court, he should not focus on precedents, especially those that embody new things."
Wang Jingren sighed: "Yes! This is the difficulty!"
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming thought for a while, "Otherwise, if Mr. Meng is injured, only the big hospitals in Donghai can cure it. Bringing Mr. Meng to Donghai for treatment, and the best cost is If Mr. Meng or Ms. Li pays privately, then Mr. Meng will have a tax record in Donghai. In this case, he can try to appeal to the Donghai High Court and request that the case be reiterated in Donghai.”
"I feel that it should not be difficult to find out the points of appeal in Mr. Meng's case that are not in compliance with the imperial legal procedures, right? With Anton Ting's hasty attitude."
Wang Jingren smiled bitterly, this is indeed not difficult. It is right for the outside judicial circles to look down on Anton Justice. He really has nothing to say.
But? Is this okay?
Wang Jingren said in surprise: "In this case, is it possible that the Donghai High Court will send it to the Donghai Circuit Court for a retrial?"
Lu Ming nodded: "There is a certain chance. Although he is not a citizen of Donghai, he has a tax record in Donghai, he happens to be in Donghai, and he is suffering unfair persecution. There is a certain possibility that Donghai High Court will accept this case. The appeal petition of the case, but it depends on what the justices think. I can only say that there is a certain probability."
"But, if not, I have to litigate in Anton, and I'm afraid it will take several years. I'll make the judges miserable first, and they'll have a headache when they see me. Slowly, I'll have a chance to appeal. Opportunity for retrial ”
"I don't have the time, nor the energy. Lawyer Wang, what I say is true."
Wang Jingren nodded silently. This Lawyer Lu was very proud. It could be heard in his words that he regarded the Anton judicial community as if it were nothing. But from the cases he handled, he had studied and studied them himself. He has this pride. Capital.
As for the improvement of the imperial legal code, when did it start?
He is the top lawyer. It would be great to have such a case written into legal history in his life. He is only nineteen years old.
It can only be said that he is simply a genius born for the law, a figure destined to shine in the annals of legal history.
It seems that he has said so, and this is the only way to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
As for how Meng Xiaolou got sick, and it was a disease that could only be treated in the East China Sea, and how he got special approval to come to the East China Sea for treatment, he had to go back and find a solution. Fortunately, although the case could not be overturned, there is still room for operation. .
However, I have long heard that the judicial community in the East China Sea is becoming more and more tough, and there are more and more cases under long-arm jurisdiction.
But I didn’t expect that it has already developed to this extent.
Are foreigners who come to Donghai to buy a lollipop eligible to go to the circuit court to fight lawsuits involving other places?
"Thank you, Mr. Commissioner!" Li Youmei's face was full of gratitude.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "I just have an idea, everything depends on you."
Looking at Wang Jingren, "Lawyer Wang, do you have any acquaintances in Heishan or Longgang? I have a good friend who seems to be going to Longgang to be the county magistrate. His eyes are dark, and he is afraid of suffering from local snakes!"
Wang Jingren was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although Anton and Jiangning are neighboring provinces, Montenegro is in the easternmost part of Jiangning. I'm really not familiar with it."
Lu Ming nodded.
That Earl Richard, no matter what happens, basically, the chaos in Jiangning now is all caused by his relatives.
It is Richard's second wife, Mrs. Hu, and now her seven uncles and eight aunts are all frantically searching for her in Jiangning.
After all, the Hu family is from Jiangning's hometown. Now that one person has ascended to heaven, distant relatives who are beyond reach may take the opportunity to use her name to dominate the local area and seize mineral deposits.
Longgang is a major coal mining county, so it is impossible for no one in the Hu family to intervene.
Once old Gong leaves, I'm afraid there will be a backlash from local snakes.
Especially since I just found out that the previous county magistrate died last month, and his death was mysterious.
The law of official power in the five Jiangnan provinces has failed here.
It is very dangerous for Lao Gong to act alone.
In fact, I originally wanted him to take the lead, but looking at it now, it really doesn’t work.
Then we can only wait first, wait for him to be free, and go there with him. The position of county magistrate will be vacant for a few days.
If this Jiangning Province becomes the birthplace and base of its own steel group, it will be a wonderful prospect.
However, for this big project, I don’t know if I can achieve the goal.
As for helping Richard get rid of the control of his wife's gang, it is even more important to act according to the situation.
After all, it is obvious that his relatives and friends cannot persuade him, and they are afraid that they will be regarded by him as a bad person who alienates the relationship between the couple.
Christine, only then did she remember that she was full of messy ideas.
My mind was spinning, and I was thinking wildly, when Li Youmei suddenly whispered: "Sir, I have a distant cousin. I heard that he is working as a foreman in a coal mine in Longgang, and his development is not bad..." Then he said in shock, "I'm sorry, sir." , The civilian women have little knowledge and should not interrupt.”
This cousin is a capable person in the eyes of her relatives, but in the eyes of the young man in front of her, he is probably just a rotten fish, even if he is not polite.
When people ask Wang Jingren if he has any connections, he must at least be a celebrity in Jiangning Province, or a mayor or county magistrate.
Lu Ming smiled after hearing this and said: "Well, you write a letter to your cousin to help my friend, and I will ask my friend to bring this letter to him."
Li Youmei lowered her head and said softly: "Yes." I don't know if she is extremely well-educated and she said this because she was afraid of losing face, but no matter what, I have to write this letter carefully. That cousin likes me very much. Yes, he should listen to himself and try his best to do things for his friend, the new county chief. If he can't do anything else, he can be a tour guide and run errands. In addition, he can tell the new county chief about local people's conditions. Can.
In fact, it is also a great opportunity for my cousin.
The handsome foreman walked over and whispered beside Lu Ming: "Boss, your phone number."
Lu Ming nodded and said apologetically to Wang Jingren and Li Youmei: "I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone."
Wang Jingren looked at Lu Ming in surprise, "Lu Dazhuang, does this tower restaurant belong to you now?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's just a small shareholder." Indeed, the majority shareholder is Christine. It may be because of this tower restaurant that he became the legendary pretty girl raised by Christine.
Looking at Lu Ming's back, Wang Jingren pursed his lips, "Mei'er, do you see, this is the best person in the East China Sea, a person who doesn't show off his appearance, and I even invited him to eat at the best restaurant. As a result, The restaurant is his."
Li Youmei knew that he was laughing at himself, so she forced a smile, lowered her head and remained silent.
……
Beside the bar, Lu Ming's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he listened to the words on the phone.
It's an urgent matter and a good thing, so the call came here.
It was the person who went to Heishan City in the four northern provinces to help him find Jin Baoer. According to what he said, on the first day of the month, he published a missing person announcement with Jinbao in the Heishan Evening News.
There was no response to the missing person notice on February 1st last month, but a few days ago, the missing person notice in the evening newspaper on March 1st had an effect, and I finally contacted Jinbao just now.
It has been more than a year since we separated from Jin Bao.
Speaking of it, I have only met him a few times, but in times of danger, life and death, he was able to escape successfully all by himself, and he was loyal. It was obvious that the Lu family was finished. If he left with a huge sum of money , there will be no consequences, but he should not have such thoughts in his mind. Loyalty is already an instinct.
However, after listening to the next words of the person on the phone, Lu Ming sighed softly.
It turns out that Jin Bao was in jail last month and was released yesterday. But as soon as he was released, he found the evening newspaper of No. 1 and asked someone to read it to him, so that he did not miss the missing person notice of No. 1.
Moreover, after seeing his own person, hearing his information, and confirming that he was really the person he sent to find him, Jin Bao fainted in excitement.
I am still undergoing infusion in the hospital. My health seems to be very poor, and many old injuries have not been properly repaired.
He is now the owner of a foreign car dealership in Montenegro. The money he left for him should be used to buy this foreign car dealership.
But the coachmen also have territory, and gangs of all sizes collect protection fees. He is an outsider and has to establish a firm foothold. One fight every three days and one fight every five days.
I'm afraid that this year, Jinbao has been fighting and killing, leaving many injuries on his body.
"Well, let him have a good rest for a few days, and then you take him to the East China Sea." Lu Ming shook his head. He still thought about the 10,000 yuan, and that Jinbao could live a stable life by depositing it in the bank and earning interest. It really didn't take his character into consideration.
