Chapter 145 That Man
Suddenly, a man stood up in the audience and claimed to be a member of the Longhushan Professional Lawyers Group.

Because some unexpected things happened in the court, I request the judge to change the defense lawyer.

Zhang Xuanqing turned and looked at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei?

When did this kid come to Tianhua City?

Zhang Wei and Zhang Xuanqing naturally knew each other.

Because when he was suing in Longhu City, Zhang Wei was his defense lawyer.

Zhang Wei was the best among the three lawsuits in Longhu City at that time. He fought against three people alone and won all three of them, which stunned everyone.

Later, Zhang Wei was specially hired by Longhushan as a member of the professional lawyer team. He directly joined the Longhushan lawyer team and became a specially hired lawyer, specializing in representing Longhushan in lawsuits.

Zhang Xuanqing had a deep impression of Zhang Wei.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Wei was in Tianhua City at this time, and he even came to the court today?
The presiding judge looked at Zhang Wei's lawyer's license and the certificate he presented as a specially hired lawyer for Longhushan.

The presiding judge looked at Zhang Xuanqing.

"Defendant, do you agree to change lawyers?"

Zhang Xuanqing: "Agree."

Zhang Xuanqing's current lawyer was someone the government randomly found for him.

If he had followed the normal process, he would not have needed to change lawyers, because he would just be cooperating with the authorities and using the lawyers selected by the authorities.

But now some unexpected things happened in the trial. People from the Buddhist sect intervened and charged Zhang Xuanqing with murder.

Naturally, Zhang Xuanqing cannot use lawyers indiscriminately.

The lawyer hired by the authorities had no prior preparation, and Zhang Xuanqing did not trust him.

Instead of using a stranger, it is better to use Zhang Wei.

Zhang Xuanqing immediately nodded in agreement.

The defendant himself agreed, and the presiding judge had no objection, so the lawyer was replaced by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei then stood up from the gallery and went to the lawyer's seat next to the defendant.

Zhang Xuanqing glanced at Zhang Wei who was sitting next to him at this time, and asked Zhang Wei why he appeared here at this time?

Zhang Wei said: "Tianshi, I heard that something happened to you in Tianhua City, and yesterday I heard that you were sued by the authorities. As Longhushan's special lawyer, I must come to see you if you are in trouble.

So I flew here overnight last night, and now it seems that I was right to come here.”

Although Zhang Wei was somewhat unreliable in the past when it came to lawsuits, he is definitely quite reliable as a person.

Zhang Xuanqing and Taoist Priest Xuanming were very kind to him. If it were not for these two, it would be hard to say whether Zhang Wei could survive in the legal profession today, let alone make a name for himself.

Now that the Heavenly Master is in trouble, Zhang Wei is also a person who knows how to repay his gratitude.

After hearing that Tianshi was officially prosecuted today, he flew to Tianhua City overnight.

I didn’t sleep the whole night and came directly to the court trial today.

Zhang Wei did not expect that the Buddhist sect would interfere, but Zhang Wei told the Taoist priest not to worry, and that as long as he was in the Buddhist sect, those people would not be able to cause any trouble.

During this period of time, Zhang Wei has been gaining experience in the Longhushan Law Firm and has fought many cases. He is no longer the fledgling new lawyer he used to be.

After joining Longhushan, he fought lawsuits for Longhushan and has never lost a case so far.

He is now very famous in the legal profession.

Zhang Xuanqing looked at Zhang Wei. He recruited Zhang Wei just for fun, but he didn't expect this guy to be so serious and dedicated.

Knowing that something happened to him in Tianhua City, he rushed here as soon as possible. He is indeed a man of affection and righteousness.

Zhang Wei sat down next to Zhang Xuanqing.

The plaintiff's lawyer next door saw Zhang Wei and his expression changed.

He said to several Buddhist temple abbots sitting in the plaintiff's seat: "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is not good. The other party has replaced Zhang Wei as the defense lawyer. We may not have the upper hand this time."

The abbots next to the plaintiff's lawyer frowned.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by not having the upper hand? Didn't you say that we have collected almost all the materials and that the chance of winning this time can reach 20%? We spent more than yuan to hire you. Didn't you say that you are a top-notch lawyer? You can only succeed, not fail."

These abbots were obviously not satisfied. They spent more than 20 yuan to hire this gold medal lawyer just to bring down the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, avenge the abbot of Huayuan Temple, and restore the face of their Buddhist sect.

When he came, the lawyer swore that he had integrated all the information and that he was 80% confident that he could win the case when the case went to court.

But now the other party has just changed a lawyer, and he says he might lose this time?

These hosting masters were naturally dissatisfied.

The plaintiff’s lawyer said: “This Zhang Wei from Longhushan is not an ordinary person. He has been very popular in the legal profession recently. Although he failed in his first few cases, he has never lost a case since he joined Longhushan.

So far, he still has a zero-loss rate. I have seen several of his cases, and they are very well fought, and the angles are very tricky. I can only try my best. "

Today, Zhang Wei is no longer the fledgling new lawyer he was back then.

Even such a top lawyer couldn't help but feel a little afraid in front of Zhang Wei.

After all, the three lawsuits that Zhang Wei had previously fought for Tianshi were truly terrifying. He won all three battles, and each one was at a disadvantage.

The lawsuit fought for Tianshi at that time has been regarded as one of the top ten classic cases in the legal profession.

The abbots of these Buddhist temples didn't care about all this. They spent money and demanded that the lawyers win the case.

The plaintiff's lawyer could only nod and say he was doing his best.

Zhang Xuanqing changed his defense lawyer.

As the presiding judge struck the gavel, the trial continued.

Next, the plaintiff's lawyer will provide the prosecution materials.

The plaintiff's lawyer then submitted his indictment materials, stood up and said: "We have obtained a chain of evidence that can prove that the defendant deliberately murdered 127 monks from Huayuan Temple and destroyed an important Buddhist temple!
Request the court to convict the defendant of intentional homicide, abetment of homicide, and serial murder! "

After the plaintiff's lawyer provided the information, he stood up and added their charges.

The presiding judge looked through their files.

Then he said to the defendant: "Defendant's lawyer, the information provided by the other party shows that the dragon that destroyed the entire Huayuan Temple was indeed released and resurrected by the defendant Zhang Xuanqing. Do you have any objection?"

Zhang Wei stood up and said, "Your Honor, of course we have objections. I would like to ask what evidence the other party has produced to directly prove that the dragon was resurrected by my client?"

The defendant's lawyer looked at Zhang Wei and said, "What evidence do you need? When the defendant Zhang Xuanqing resurrected the dragon on the Yalong Bridge, there were thousands of passers-by who witnessed it with their own eyes, and countless live broadcast rooms broadcast the scene.

If you want to find witnesses, there are many on the street, and we have video footage, do you want to see it? "According to the defendant's lawyer, there are both witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?
After all, Zhang Xuanqing was the dragon that was resurrected in public.

But when Zhang Wei listened to what the plaintiff's lawyer said, he just laughed.

The plaintiff's lawyer looked at Zhang Wei and laughed, but he didn't understand why.

"Lawyer Zhang, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Wei said: "I'm sorry, I lost control of myself for a moment. I want to ask, my client only appeared on that bridge, so you say that the dragon was resurrected by my client?

There were so many people around the bridge at that time, why didn't you say that someone else was resurrected? Couldn't our client have just appeared on the bridge at that time, and the dragon just happened to be resurrected? "

Zhang Wei directly stated: What I want is evidence. You talked about the situation at that time, but you still haven't produced any evidence.

The defendant's lawyer was confused.

What does this mean?
Didn't I already produce evidence? When the dragon was resurrected, the Heavenly Master was on the bridge, and in full view of everyone, everyone saw that it was the Heavenly Master who used magic to resurrect the dragon. Isn't this evidence?
Zhang Wei: "Of course this is not evidence. It was purely a coincidence that our client was at the Yalong Bridge at that time. He just wanted to see the scenery. Is that not okay?"

Plaintiff's lawyer: "Look at the scenery? Are you kidding? At that time, in full view of the public, everyone saw the defendant use talismans and spells, and even threw his Heavenly Master Seal into the river.

After he threw his Heavenly Master Seal into the river, the dragon floated up and resurrected not long after. How do you explain this?"

Zhang Wei: "Then what evidence do you have to prove that the magic used by our client at that time was a magic to revive the dragon, not a magic to fry the fish?"

Zhang Wei directly stated: You can either produce evidence to hammer me to death, or you can directly prove that the magic used by the Taoist priest at that time was the magic to revive the dragon, otherwise everything will be considered as fried fish.

After hearing what Zhang Wei said, the plaintiff was confused.

The presiding judge also looked at the plaintiff at this time.

Although the objections raised by Zhang Wei were indeed somewhat rogue, they were indeed valid from the perspective of litigation.

Because if you want to sue someone, you must produce evidence that is 100% true and can stand up to scrutiny.

Now that Zhang Wei has raised doubts, do you have a way to prove that the spell is the one that can revive the dragon?

The presiding judge asked the plaintiff: "Plaintiff's lawyer, do you have any evidence to prove it?"

The plaintiff's lawyer was dumbfounded.

He is a lawyer, not a wizard. How could he have any evidence to prove what magic the Taoist priest used at that time?
He listed this evidence at this moment only because everyone saw everything that happened on the Yalong Bridge at that time, and he felt that it was almost ironclad evidence.

Who could have thought that the result was overturned by Zhang Wei in just a few words?
What’s more, what Zhang Wei said was well-founded and just outrageous.

Zhang Wei: First of all, you have no way to prove that the magic spell used by our client at that time was a spell to revive the dragon, not a spell to fry fish.

Secondly, you have no way to prove that the dragon did not just happen to be resurrected at that time, but was resurrected by our magic. Maybe our client was just looking at the scenery there at the time and happened to see this scene.

For example: If I chat with someone on the street and then that person turns around and starts robbing someone, would you label me as an accomplice of the robber?

The presiding judge nodded.

The words are rough but the logic is there. Although it is a bit helpless, it does make sense.

Evidence without substantial evidence cannot be considered as evidence.

There is no way to prove that the dragon was indeed resurrected by the Heavenly Master, unless the plaintiff's lawyer can produce direct evidence.

In order to verify the accuracy of the evidence, the court may need the plaintiff's lawyer to practice it personally and resurrect another dragon for them.

Plaintiff's lawyer: What am I going to do? If I had that ability, would I be a lawyer?
Zhang Wei continued, “Moreover, the plaintiff’s lawyer said that after the dragon was resurrected, it followed our client to Huayuan Temple. We also disagree with this.

What evidence does the plaintiff's lawyer have to prove that the dragon was guided to Huayuan Temple by our client? If I drive on the street and have the same destination as the car in front of me, can you say that the car in front of me guided me to a certain place?

Please ask the plaintiff's lawyer to produce evidence. If there is no evidence, we will file a lawsuit, accusing the plaintiff's lawyer of distorting the facts and fabricating evidence!"

The plaintiff's lawyer was even more dumbfounded after hearing what Zhang Wei said.

He was sweating profusely in an instant.

"Ah? This..."

What evidence do we need? At that time, the dragon behind Master Tian was in full view of everyone. Everyone could see that the dragon followed Master Tian's car.

Where does the Heavenly Master go? Wherever it goes.

After the Heavenly Master arrived at Huayuan Temple, the dragon lurked at the bottom of the river, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Does this also require evidence?
The presiding judge looked at the plaintiff's lawyer and said, "This does require evidence. Do you have any evidence?"

From the presiding judge's perspective, this does require evidence.

You said that the dragon was instigated and led to Huayuan Temple by the Heavenly Master. You have to produce evidence.

What if the dragon and the Taoist priest have the same destination?
Don't say things without evidence.

The plaintiff's lawyer wiped his sweat on the spot.

Evidence, he has no evidence at all.

Where would he get the evidence? Could he go into the river and ask the dragon?
The plaintiff's lawyer said: "I have no evidence, but I have the aerial video of the time, and the dragon was indeed following the Taoist priest throughout the whole process."

Zhang Wei: "That kind of thing can't be used as evidence. Why don't you invite that dragon over and ask about it? That's what counts as evidence."

The plaintiff's lawyer shut up.

Zhang Wei continued, "Your Excellency the presiding judge, I also want to sue the plaintiff's lawyer and his client."

After hearing Zhang Wei's words, the presiding judge and several monks and abbots in the plaintiff's seat could no longer sit still.

The presiding judge was stunned.

what?
Do you want to hear what wolf-tiger words you are saying?
Even the presiding judge had never seen such a wild way of conducting a lawsuit.

At this moment he really wanted to say: Defendant's lawyer, please calm down, you are the defendant.

Didn't someone sue you today? Why are you suing someone while we're chatting?

The presiding judge wiped his sweat and said, "Defendant's lawyer, what are you going to sue the plaintiff for?"

Zhang Wei said: "I am going to sue the plaintiff's lawyer for fabricating facts without any evidence, suing my client and trying to distort the facts to get my client sentenced to death.

The plaintiff is charged with serious false accusations and intentional homicide, and the presiding judge is requested to sentence him to 20 years in prison and revoke his lawyer's license.

Presiding Judge: “Ah?”

Audience members and reporters watching this trial: “Ah??”

The abbot of the plaintiff's temple and the plaintiff's lawyer: "Ah??"

Official leader: “Ah??”
