Lawyer's character

"The lawyer's fee is easy to say. If I ask you to provide litigation guidance, how much will it cost?" Secretary Wu said.

"If we only provide litigation guidance, it would be 30,000 yuan." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

He had never done litigation guidance, so he didn't know how much he should charge, so he gave an estimate based on the lawyer's fees for entrusted cases.

"Then what if I entrust you with the second instance of this case?" Secretary Wu asked.

"The lawyer's fee is 50,000 yuan." Fang Yi knew that the other party could definitely afford the lawyer's fee. He dared to hold a case seminar in the hotel conference hall for the "canary". How could he have no money.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll make a call." Secretary Wu got up and came to the window of the tea room, making a phone call in a low voice.

About ten minutes later, Secretary Wu put away his phone and returned to the tea table.

"Lawyer Fang, as you said, the legal fee is 50,000 yuan. This case has been entrusted to you. Early tomorrow morning, I will bring Ms. Liu's family over to go through the entrustment procedures." Secretary Wu said.

Fang Yi didn't expect that the other party would decide so quickly.

As soon as the law firm went to work the next day, Secretary Wu walked into the conference room with a thin old man in his fifties. The old man seemed a little restrained. Fang Yi chatted with him for a few words. After reading the household registration book to confirm his identity and relationship, Zhou Ying helped the old man go through the entrustment procedures.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi went to the detention center to meet with the "canary" Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu's name was Liu Qianqian and she was quite pretty. The incident she described was basically consistent with what she learned at the previous seminar.

"Lawyer Fang, I was wrongly accused. The old woman didn't receive proper treatment and suffered minor injuries. You can't blame me for that." Liu Qianqian cried so hard that she was so touching.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I have already understood the facts of the case and read the verdict. Legally speaking, you did commit the crime of intentional injury.

If you don't want to stay there for a year, then listen to my plea and accept punishment. I will defend you as a minor crime. This is an appeal. Please read it.

If you don't cooperate, there's nothing I can do about it. It's very likely that you'll be squatting there for a year. "To deal with such a woman, Fang Yi will not hesitate to scare her, otherwise she will not cooperate with her work.

"I listen to you, I will definitely listen. Do you really have a way to save me?" Liu Qianqian looked at Fang Yi with longing eyes as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"I can't promise you anything, I can only give it a try." Fang Yi said expressionlessly.

After coming out of the detention center, Fang Yi submitted the appeal materials to the court.

After Fang Yi came out of the court, Secretary Wu came over and said, "Lawyer Fang, what should we do next? I will cooperate with you throughout the process."

"Can I get the victim's letter of understanding?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's difficult. We went to see the victim once before, but he was scolded by the victim. The middle-aged woman's husband had some rights in the county and didn't care about our compensation at all. He claimed that only by letting Ms. Liu go to jail could she get out of her heart. You have a bad breath." Secretary Wu said with a troubled expression.

"Have you ever heard about her husband's situation?" Fang Yi rolled his eyes and looked at Secretary Wu.

The two of them stood on the side of the road. Secretary Wu took out a huazi and handed it to Fang Yi: "I learned before that her husband's surname is Jiang, and his name is Jiang Quan. He is one of the kind of people in the county who is not popular, but has some real power. .”

"What does the victim do?" Fang Yi asked after taking the cigarette and lighting it.

"The victim is a retired employee of a state-owned enterprise. He has nothing to do all day long. He is either going to the beauty salon or walking the dog." Secretary Wu said.

"Such a person actually lives in a high-end residential area? Where does his family get the money?" Fang Yi asked doubtfully.

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Secretary Wu was startled: "Are you saying there is something wrong with her husband's income?"

"I just have suspicion, reasonable suspicion. But I do have an acquaintance in the county you mentioned. I can try to ask about the victim's husband."

Fang Yi suddenly thought of Yu Mantang. Old Yu seemed to have a construction company in the county that Secretary Wu mentioned. It was said that he came to attract investment from the county and specialized in undertaking some government projects.

"Great. Then I'll trouble Lawyer Fang." Secretary Wu said in surprise.

In the afternoon of that day, Fang Yi called Yu Mantang. Lao Yu happened to be in the city and had nothing to do in the evening, so Fang Yi asked Lao Yu to have dinner in the evening. Firstly, he hadn’t seen each other for a long time and wanted to get in touch with him. Secondly, he asked him about his feelings about the county. The situation is familiar or not.

In the evening at a private restaurant, after drinking for three rounds, Fang Yi asked about the victim's husband, Jiang Quan. Yu Mantang actually knew this man, but they didn't have any friendship.

"Brother, why did you remember to ask him?" Yu Mantang said and poured himself another drink.

"Hey, it's nothing actually. There is a friend who wants to get to know him. I want to see if there is anyone I can get on the line with." Fang Yi felt a little disappointed. It seemed that this road would not work.

"Oh, that old Sepi is not easy to talk to. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to handle this matter." Yu Mantang said smoothly.

"Brother Yu, have you ever dealt with him?" Fang Yi asked.

"How come you haven't dealt with him before? His nickname is Jiang Bapi. He is not a thing. Even if an iron rooster passes in front of him, he will still have to scrape off two taels of iron filings. It's so cruel!

It was said that the guy had a mistress in the county and was flirting with several old ladies in the county, but the tigress at home didn't know about it. "After Yu Mantang finished speaking, he continued to drink and eat.

"Brother Yu, you don't know how to frame me, do you? How powerful is Jiang Bapi?" Fang Yi said half-jokingly.

"This is all true. His driver bought him medicine." Yu Mantang said seriously. Apparently he misunderstood Fang Yi's meaning.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Jiang Bapi's incident is something that Yu Mantang talks about after dinner, but for Fang Yi, it is rare good news.

Fang Yi was not a pedantic person. After returning to his residence that night, he called Secretary Wu and told him in a tactful way what he heard today about Jiang Bapi's hidden beauty in the golden house. Fang Yi believes that Secretary Wu is a smart person and knows what to do next.

Although Liu Qianqian and Jiang Bapi are not good friends, Fang Yi took Secretary Wu's legal fees, and the victim did a bit too much, so he didn't mind revealing the news to Secretary Wu and letting Secretary Wu Heijiang take advantage of him. .

In Fang Yi's mind, the criterion for what should be done and what should not be done is actually very simple, that is, whether it will be condemned by conscience. Fang Yi thought it was okay to deal with Jiang Bapi because he had a clear conscience and would not be condemned.

A week later, Fang Yi received a call from Secretary Wu. The daughter-in-law of the victim Jiang Papi would come to the law firm to sign a letter of understanding the next morning.

After putting down the phone, Fang Yi was shocked and thought to himself: Secretary Wu is so efficient!

At nine-thirty the next morning, Liu Qianqian's father and Secretary Wu arrived, and soon after, Jiang Bapi's wife did come.

Jiang Papi's wife has short ear-length hair, a short figure, a slim waist, and a slender face. It's obvious at a glance that she's not easy to deal with. After entering the conference room, she sat down on the chair opposite Fang Yi, quickly pulled out a thin lady's cigarette, raised her head half-way, and started smoking in a posture that she thought was very silly.
