Chapter 189 Priest's Illusion

Hua Zhenxing: "The first point just mentioned is that law has become a professional tool, and litigation itself has become an end. Then the second point is that law has become a professional tool."

Locke: "What's the difference?"

Hua Zhenxing explained seriously: "The law is the last guarantee for the rights and interests of ordinary people. If its protection function is broken down, then order will have to give way to gangsters. If you are lucky, there will be a new alliance to rebuild, Unfortunately, it is the former port of Fiso.

The law, and more importantly, its judicial system, protects the rights and interests of all people, and the more ordinary people need it more.Law is not the same as medicine. What it deals with is the daily life of people, and it should not be so complicated that ordinary people can't understand it.

Even if it is the most complicated economic crime, after setting out all the evidence chains, the facts are simple, either he took money that should not be taken, or he defrauded other people's money.

Let's not talk about the link of case detection. Criminal investigation is another specialty, and what law should teach is the simplest truth, simple and clear.All legal logic should be understood by anyone who has received compulsory education.

How the police catch a murderer may be very complicated, but the fact of murder is clear to everyone.

However, in many places in the world, even if the legal provisions are clearly written, the judicial system to implement it has become more and more complicated, with various trap-like procedural regulations.

What does it mean when the judicial system is so complicated that an ordinary citizen who has completed compulsory education can't understand it, but only professionals can understand it?

Have the two lawyers heard of priestly hallucinations?Or to put it more generally, the illusion of monks, when everyone burns incense and worships Buddha, they must go through the monks in the temple, and the group of monks thinks that they represent the Dharma. "

At this time, Yue Gaole put his hands on the table and lowered his head and laughed out loud. Seeing everyone looking at him, he waved his hands again and said, "Leave me alone! Boss Hua, you can continue."

Hua Zhenxing went on to say: "There is an illusion in the legal profession, thinking that they represent the law or even the legal system. Because they have formed a small professional circle, the judicial process is implemented through them, and the judicial results are determined by them. They also wrote judgments, judicial theories and textbooks.

I say this not to have any opinion on people who are engaged in the legal profession, but if the judicial system is so complicated that ordinary people can't understand it, it will become a professional tool in a small circle.

Once this trend is formed, it will become more and more obvious.Because various judicial systems are also formulated by these 'insiders' most of the time. "

Speaking of this, Hua Zhenxing fell silent, as if he was still organizing his words, Yue Gaole nodded and added: "This is called professional closure, artificially setting up professional barriers, using the so-called professionalism to make the program extremely complicated, so complicated that this circle If outsiders can't understand it, then the judicial system gradually morphs into a professional tool.

If the Oldham case did not happen in Port Fiso at this time, but in Brussels.I can say that there are many links that only people like me and Lawyer Dong understand, but you don't know at all.Is this really necessary?At least it is very necessary for me and Lawyer Dong!

Whether it is the prosecution, the defense, or the judge, they are actually people in the circle.Sometimes it feels like a professional show, and we also find a group of people to come, not only to see the show but also to vote..."

Dong Zegang finally couldn't help coughing, interrupted Yue Gaole and said, "Xiaohua, I didn't expect you to like to ponder. If you are interested in law, I can recommend a group of professional books to you."

Yue Gaole subconsciously took up the conversation again: "Then Boss Hua won't speak layman's language, right? But I guess people must have read your book, but your book can't solve their problems.

The three points he wanted to say just now refer to the existing disadvantages.What Boss Hua meant was to rebuild the order here, and it must be established from the beginning, and try not to repeat the same mistakes. "

Locke: "Assistant Hua just said two points, what about the third point?"

Hua Zhenxing: "As for the third point, it is actually the result of the first two points, the industrialization of law. For the same thing, if the cost of implementing it is higher and the process is more complicated, the result will be less fair. But the judiciary itself Its purpose should be to ensure fairness, unless it deviates from that purpose."

Yue Gaole shook his head and said: "Who said that the purpose of justice is to ensure fairness? The purpose of justice is to ensure order. It depends on what kind of order you want to maintain. Of course, order is better than no order. The difference of a few miles."

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "Yes, you are right! What I want to maintain is a fair order. Many things in this world have already been industrialized, but there are a few things that cannot be, first of all, the law.

The judicial process cannot be a business. Under the premise of order, the higher its cost, the greater the internal friction in society, and the more unfair it is.

I often see some remarks that doctors and lawyers are the most envied professions of ordinary people, representing the goals they are fighting for.I really want to ask why?This is obviously not normal.

If we look at the economic data of a city or a country, if the output value created by the medical profession and the legal profession accounts for a large proportion, what does it mean?

It means that a large part of the income of all people and a large proportion of the wealth created by the production of the whole society are consumed in the medical and legal fields, so how sick are people's bodies and behaviors? "

Yue Gaole was happy again: "It may not be people's bodies and behaviors that are sick... Boss Hua might as well just talk about the United States! I got my doctorate in law in the United States."

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "I'm not just referring to the United States, but many places."

Yue Gaole: "Boss Hua is from the Chinese ethnic group in Dongguo. I know you like Dongguo very much, but what you said just now has signs in Dongguo today."

Hua Zhenxing: "So I hope that there will be no signs of this here. The order we rebuilt in Port Fiso is first of all the judicial system. Who does it serve and what is its purpose? Lawyer Dong, do you understand?

As for the Oldham case, it is a legacy of the previous period of history, a history we must face, and a special case in a special period. I hope it will not happen again in the future. "

When returning to work after lunch, Dong Zegang was still a little dazed.Hua Zhenxing said so loudly, could it be that his child has the final say on the matter of Feisuo Port?

But in a flash, Dong Zegang had another understanding, thinking that this was what the three old people meant, and they just said it through Xiaohua, a child, to beat him and remind him to pay attention to the new principles of work today.

In a sense, Lawyer Dong's guess is not completely wrong, Hua Zhenxing's idea did not appear out of thin air, he was taught by three old men.

Locke and Dong Ze had just left, but Yue Gaole was still sitting there drinking tea, but today he was a little more self-conscious and took the initiative to use magic to clean up and clean the dishes.Hua Zhenxing asked, "Why is Lawyer Yue still sitting here? Aren't you very busy?"

Yue Gaole: "This is what I'm busy with. I've heard you say it for a long time, but my problem is still not resolved. If the Prosecutors of Feisuo Port don't enter into a plea agreement with the client, they have to be frank and lenient, right?

I just want to get an early sentencing as my client is trying to escape while being escorted to jail.I am a conscientious lawyer and I have to try to help him achieve his goals.The judiciary must also pay attention to efficiency, and the lack of efficiency cannot guarantee fairness, right? "

Hua Zhenxing was almost annoyed: "Don't worry, it will be soon."

Yue Gaole: "I would also like to suggest that you pay attention to the terms of the bail money. Don't return the bail money and cancel the joint guarantee after the judgment is pronounced in court. It is stipulated that it will be returned when he goes to prison to serve his sentence."

Hua Zhenxing: "You are really thoughtful, thank you! You are the legal counsel of Oldham, but you should be hired through Oldham Pharmaceutical Group, and you receive the fee from the pharmaceutical group."

Yue Gaole: "That's right, my consulting fee is not paid by Oheim privately, but by the pharmaceutical group, and there is no problem in terms of procedure."

Hua Zhenxing: "Then your task this time is almost complete. If the three magicians are also hired through Auheim Pharmaceutical Group, then they will not need to be bodyguards for Auheim soon."

Yue Gaole gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss Hua is clever, so you are waiting here! Your old friend Rothschild has almost controlled the Oldham Pharmaceutical Group." Speaking of this, he changed his tone again, "But I After helping you so much, do you want him to fire me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "How can someone like a lawyer be fired? I don't know how long you have signed the contract. In short, it is impossible for Oldham Pharmaceutical Group to unilaterally break the contract. You should continue to provide legal services, but not necessarily It is to serve Oldheim again."

Yue Gaole: "Start well and end well. This is my duty and Oldham's right. Even if Oldheim Pharmaceutical Group wants to transfer me, it will have to wait until the verdict is pronounced."

Hua Zhenxing: "Okay, I promise you. In short, Auheim will leave the port of Feisuo, no later than when I offer Chun Rong Dan."

Yue Gaole: "60 billion Dongguo currency, converted into Luo yuan, I can call it to your account right now."

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't worry, wait until January, anyway, there are only a few days left."

At this moment, Hua Zhenxing's cell phone vibrated, and when he took it out, he saw that it was from Charles.Charles has been very busy recently. He has to host various meetings, deliver various speeches, and sign various documents in public, and he has to learn various knowledge and receive various trainings in private.

Shire is the new mayor of Port Fiso and the leader of the local people. The three old people, including Hua Zhenxing, did not intend to treat him as a puppet. They are really cultivating and building him, hoping that he can be competent for this role.

The reason why Hua Zhenxing chose Shire at the beginning was because there was really no other more suitable candidate.But it turns out that this choice is very correct, and Charles's ingenuity has also been brought into full play, as if he was hanging out.

Hua Zhenxing thought he was in a hurry, but ended up talking on the phone for a long time.Shire claimed that he hadn't seen him for a few days, expressed his concern and greetings, and said when he would go to brush noodles together. Recently, a new barbecue restaurant opened in Feisuo Port, Dongguo Northeast-style barbecue, where you can go to have a skewer and drink beer .

Then Shire asked about Manman's situation, and asked Hua Zhenxing to say hello on his behalf, and finally mentioned Locke, expressing his gratitude and admiration for Locke.Locke has already served in the city government, and he has indeed done a lot of things recently, and he has performed very well.

After Hua Zhenxing hung up the phone, he frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.The two have been playmates since they were young. Although Hua Zhenxing felt more and more that he had underestimated Shire, he still knew this person's temper very well.

Although Charles sometimes talks a lot, and talks endlessly when he is excited, he will never be bored, let alone beat around the bush.The phone call today was very strange, and it was unnecessary to greet Manman and praise Locke.

Although the two haven't seen each other much recently, it's not like they haven't had the chance to meet each other. If you really miss him, wouldn't you be here in two steps?Even if you want to make an appointment to brush noodles or barbecue, let's talk about a specific time!

This is obviously not Shire's style. Shire should have something to say but didn't say it.Hua Zhenxing thought for a while, and asked nonchalantly, "Lawyer Yue, you have also been released from isolation recently. I also heard that you often go to brush your face. What is the topic that everyone talks about the most recently?"

Yue Gaole: "Boss Hua has been practicing in seclusion recently, so he really doesn't hear anything out of the window! In the streets and alleys, the topic that everyone is most interested in is not what the city government has done. Everyone is talking about Locke these days.

There are no newspapers or TV stations here, in fact, it’s useless, most people don’t have TVs at home, and they can’t receive a signal if they have TVs, and they don’t know how to surf the Internet..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Let's just say it, most people here are illiterate! What are you talking about about Locke?"

Yue Gaole: "Because everyone is illiterate, street talk is very important, and it is the most important way for local people to spread and receive information.

The new alliance is very smart. It has set up those residents' cultural life squares, and broadcasts Charles' speeches every day, making Charles a household name.

But is there another such person in Port Fiso?The people here may only know a few hundred people around them, and only a few hundred people know him, except for Shire.

But now there is a second one, and that is Locke.Now the locals are familiar with Youpo noodle restaurants, and recently some people have been promoting that these noodle restaurants are all run by Locke... This is true, but there are still people who are promoting Locke's deeds. "

Hua Zhenxing: "What happened?"

Jokole: "All kinds of beautiful praises you can think of, including those super rich people who don't covet glory and enjoyment, but devote themselves to public welfare.

His net worth alone exceeds the sum of the net worth of all the people in Port Fiso.He has taken root in Port Fiso, loves this place, loves everyone here, so many gratifying changes in Port Fiso have his investment support behind the scenes.

If it wasn’t for being honored and commended by the Belly royal family recently and being reported by overseas media, people still don’t know what he has done here…”

Chapter 190 Despised

Locke had lived in Port Fiso for nearly ten years, but few people paid attention to him.He lives in seclusion on weekdays, just an unobtrusive bald inspector behind the counter of Jindianhang.

No more than two palms know that he is the big boss behind the Golden Gang, and these people are either dead or impossible to tell.The Golden Gang is long gone, a buried history that has never been made public.

The Locke that people are talking about today is the name used locally by Mr. Awaji Fogan, one of the standing committee members of the People's Committee of Port Fiso.

He has beautiful short blond hair. Compared with half a year ago, not only is his figure thinner, but even his wrinkles have disappeared, and his temperament is even more radiant.

Even those who have met him before would not associate him with the original inspector of the Jindian Company, and feel that he is a different person, even though the change in appearance is actually very small.

If someone now stood up and pointed out Locke's former identity, not only would no one believe it, but he would be scolded, or even beaten.

Of course, those who promote Locke's deeds will not mention that period of history, and they don't even seem to know that period of history. What they praise is Lord Fulgan.

Charles is a representative of the local aborigines. His identity is very convincing. He was born in the poorest and most chaotic neighborhood, raised by his mother and several aunts, and grew up with a group of brothers, sisters and cousins.

He joined gangs and was the boss of gangs for a while, and then he revolutionized himself, formed a new alliance and became the president, created the Kelin District, completely changed the face of the city, and became a leader admired by everyone.

Charles' experience is not only legendary and inspirational enough, but also very immersive. He is like himself that people are familiar with, so people's support for him is also a sincere empathy.

But Locke's identity is another kind of symbol, which is dreamlike or even totemic.

The history of Port Fiso is a history of colonies. Lanxi, Beli, and Yin were all the suzerains of Jili, and they still leave various indelible traces here.

The local people's mentality towards this kind of history is very complicated, which may not be understood by many Dongguo people.

On the one hand, they have a sensitive self-esteem, like to brag, wear gold chains, and dress well, even if they have no money in their pockets and are still hungry.

They don't like to be belittled, and if they hear such remarks, they will feel angry and say they are hurt.But on the other hand, this is also a very low self-esteem, and they strongly desire to be recognized.

This is contradictory and reasonable.Because they do live in the most impoverished, chaotic, backward, and dangerous places in the world, the overseas people they can get in touch with are basically tourists who are either rich or expensive, or celebrities who come to do charity.

Those people from overseas are knowledgeable, well-spoken, and their every move is enviable.The feeling that Charles met Princess Ketia for the first time when he was a teenager should be the most typical representative of it.

With such a contrast, the locals also aspire to be that kind of person.Many people in Jili Country basically want to immigrate overseas as long as they earn money and receive higher education. In short, they are not willing to stay here.

When locals see those outsiders, they often wonder if they are living in paradise.And people who leave here will lament that they once lived in hell without knowing it.

This deep-rooted sense of envy and even flattery is often unconscious.They have never been strong since ancient times. What is the self-confidence of the nation and culture?I don't know, I have no idea at all!

Those who are truly strong can often achieve inner strength.For example, Hua Zhenxing, if someone looked down on him because he was just a boy in a grocery store, he would never care.

But to put it another way, if the owner of the grocery store is not Yang Tehong, Hua Zhenxing is really just a boy in the grocery store here.If someone ridiculed his status, it would be difficult for him not to be angry and feel hurt. He also has sensitive self-esteem and hidden inferiority complex.

Therefore, Locke's deeds seem like legends in myths. He is a super rich man with a long history of noble origin in Bailuozhou and admirable character.

More importantly, he chose Feisuo Port. Not only does he live here, he is now an official citizen of Jili State, and he has given huge investment support to the transformation and development of Feisuo Port.

Locke's deeds were spread by interested people, and immediately became the topic of most interest to the locals... This is simply a saint, as if God bestowed on Port Fiso!

Hearing Yue Gaole's answer, Hua Zhenxing immediately called Cui Wanhe, director of the Propaganda Department of Huanxiang Industrial Headquarters.The Cultural and Propaganda Department not only creates and controls public opinion, but also tracks and pays attention to public opinion at any time. Such things should not be hidden from them.

The news from the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda is indeed true, and Cui Wanhe also introduced more detailed information. Recently, almost everyone in the whole Port of Fiso is talking about Locke's deeds.

If you regard it as a trend, it means that you have carried on the activities of brushing up some time ago. The brushing is material, and the discussion and dissemination of Locke's deeds is spiritual.

It first started from various noodle restaurants. Someone asked other people in the noodle restaurant, do you know who opened these noodle restaurants?After saying the answer, he went on to promote Locke's other deeds.

Hua Zhenxing asked Cui Wanhe if he found someone behind the scenes to promote this public opinion in an organized way?Cui Wanhe said that she didn't know, but she had suspicions in this regard, and she is currently investigating, but nothing has been found for the time being.

But one thing is for sure, this matter was not led by Huanxiang Industrial Culture and Propaganda Department.It seems that someone has seen various relevant reports from overseas media, and then excitedly relayed them to people around them, thus setting off a wave of public opinion.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while.The former boss behind the gangster was declared a saint in a blink of an eye. This matter is really indescribably paradoxical.

Although the former Locke had no obvious bad deeds, he was by no means a good thing. His real transformation began on that rainy night, and everything he did later was a kind of self-salvation in Hua Zhenxing's view.

As for his being honored by the Belly royal family, so many admirable deeds were reported, all of which were deliberately arranged for misunderstanding...

"Boss Hua, why do you have such a dignified expression? Is something serious going on?" Yue Gaole interrupted Hua Zhenxing's meditation again.

Hua Zhenxing turned his head and asked: "Mr. Yue, I believe that many things cannot escape your eyes. In your opinion, is this incident organized by someone behind the scenes?"

Yue Gaole replied bluntly: "Of course! Multi-point outbreaks, mutual linkage, rapid formation of hot spots, and use of various methods to continue to maintain popularity, it is not organized and planned to be damned!"

Although you are very smart and you are also in the Internet age, the disadvantage is that you live in Port Fiso.If you live in a country with well-developed news media and Internet information, you will be able to react immediately, and there is no need to ask me. "

Hua Zhenxing: "Did you do it?"

Yue Gaole exaggeratedly shook his head and said: "Without evidence, how can people be innocent? I am just a spectator and have nothing to do with this matter. I can even swear that if I did it, I will be struck by lightning!"

Hua Zhenxing looked up at the sky, and Yue Gaole said awkwardly again: "Boss Hua, don't scare me, I really didn't do it."

If it were a local who likes to run trains with his mouth full, Hua Zhenxing would only treat him as farting when he made such an oath.But Hua Zhenxing believed what a great magician said, and he asked again: "Mr. Yue, who do you think did it?"

"I'm just a spectator and have nothing to do with this matter." Yue Gaole said exactly the same words as before.

Hua Zhenxing: "Ask a lawyer, I can pay your consulting fee."

"Without evidence, how can you defile someone's innocence?" He said the same thing as before.

Hua Zhenxing frowned and said to himself, "You didn't do it, could it be Lian Na?"
