The beginning was serious, and the opposite side was scared by me and called the police!

"Bah! I thought I'd dare to lock us up for a long time, but we were released in two days."

"Brother Zhao, the others are still locked up and they say they have to wait for the trial, what are we going to do now?"

"It seems that we are also going to be tried. If I didn't have high blood pressure this time, I would have been imprisoned."

"Third brother, you have been in prison before, so you have an idea about this."

"..."

After returning to the village.

After seeing their family members, these old people gathered in the yard of Zhao Dezhu's house.

Discuss countermeasures.

Everyone's face was very ugly, and they no longer had the arrogance and calmness before.

It is clear.

This time...

Those law enforcement officers are serious.

A specialized medical appraisal institution was invited to evaluate and appraise their physical health.

Those who were in better health were also left behind.

The reason why they were released...

Mainly because they have all kinds of problems.

For example, Zhao Dezhu.

He was diagnosed with cancer and was over 80 years old, so he was not detained.

"This matter..."

yard.

Zhao Dezhu looked at the crowd, frowning: "I was imprisoned a few years ago, and the process seems to be to hire a lawyer, participate in the court hearing, and then decide whether to commit a crime."

in front of people.

He recounted his personal experience a few years ago.

That time he hired a lawyer.

It's a pity that the evidence in his case is solid, and the lawyer only helped him reduce some sentences.

At last.

He was sentenced to one year in prison and assigned to the old disabled prison area.

In the old disabled prison area...

Because he was too old and had no violations, he was released after nine months of detention.

really want to say...

The life inside is really comfortable.

There is a special person to take care of him, who wakes him up every day to help water the flowers, boil the water, sweep the floor and so on.

It's the same as living in your own yard in the country, there is not much difference.

It also saves him a lot of living expenses.

"Having said that, don't go to jail if you don't want to go to jail."

After the other old people heard this, they all showed embarrassment.

While prison is pleasant, it ultimately sounds bad.

"By the way, third brother, you said that if we find a lawyer who is awesome, can we not go to jail?"

"Yeah, we didn't do anything this time, the girl at the police station must be scaring us."

"I also think that it's just a few melons, at worst we lose money."

"There's also that guy named Hu, who is so disgusting, just a few melons, and he keeps grabbing us."

"..."

The old people get together.

chat and chat.

The topic was shifted to Hu Wenning again.

This time at the gate of the police station.

That week was about to compromise and let them reconcile, but the other party refused to let go.

Never let them go.

He also said that they would be brought to justice!

If not, the other elders in their village...

It is not possible to be detained now.

and.

During their detention, the police have been urging them to pay fines and make compensation.

Rough calculation.

With fines and compensation, everyone must pay at least a thousand dollars!
If you move a lot of melons, you will have to pay thousands of dollars!
Here's to them...

Undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

Fortunately, they kept insisting that they had no money, and refused to pay anything.

In the end, the police station had nothing to do and threatened them...

If you refuse to pay the fine, you will be charged a late fee.

For each overdue day, an additional fine of 5.00% of the total fine will be imposed.

That is, if they owe 1000 yuan today and fail to pay the fine, they will owe 1050 yuan the day after tomorrow.

Rolling interest.

"These policemen must be scaring us, so you don't need to talk to them."

"I have an idea now. This surnamed Hu is really bad at being a human being. Let's find a chance at night and just destroy her melon fields."

"For such a large field, we each brought a pair of scissors at night, and cut the pumpkin seedlings directly."

"Just take her a little pumpkin, her heart is too dark, it's time to teach her a lesson!"

"..."

The more people thought about it, the angrier they became.

He was indifferent to fines and compensation, but he became more and more resentful towards Hu Wenning.

This time...

If it wasn't for Hu Wenning and the two of them, they wouldn't have come to this point.

Inexplicably shouldered the so-called fine.

There is also the risk of being sued.

And the proposal to cut the pumpkin seedlings short...

It quickly gained the unanimous consent of everyone.

The pumpkin is just the first crop now, and it will grow again later.

They originally had good intentions and just took two melons, but Hu Wenning was so cruel.

This is no wonder they.

Only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots can Hu Wenning be taught a lesson.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Zhao Dezhu took a puff of cigarette and finally made a decision.

He also kept holding his breath in his heart.

Just waiting to vent.

And the police station...

It is obviously not an outlet for venting, and the target can only be aimed at Hu Wenning.

"Okay, let's all disperse, and gather again at night to cut melon seedlings in batches."

At last.

Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, ending this "meeting".

After everyone agreed on a time.

They all dispersed.

……

six hours later.

that night.

Zhao Dezhu's home.

The rest of the old people came one after another with scissors and machetes.

but……

After just a few hours, their emotions have changed greatly.

He looked very depressed.

because……

from conversations with family members.

They learned that the surrounding villages all called their Zhao family village the village of stealing melons.

For their surname Zhao...

Open and shut, they are all called "stealers".

It is said that when their family members went to the market in the town and were recognized by others, they all poked their backs and complained.

"Third brother, the reputation of our village has been completely ruined. The vegetables grown in my field are sold in the market, but no one comes to buy them."

"Yeah, my daughter-in-law went to buy fish today, and the boss saw her and said he wouldn't sell it to her."

"My small three-wheeler broke today, and I went to the town to repair it, but the owner of the repair shop said in a daze that he would not do my business."

"Who is slandering our village?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Zhao Dezhu, their faces were livid with anger.

This afternoon.

They were all pissed off.

Some people went to the town and experienced the "discriminatory treatment" of their village by other people.

It is said that their village specializes in thieves.

Some people even covered their wallets and mobile phones tightly when they saw them.

Fear of being stolen.

Although they are very thick-skinned, they don't care much about reputation or anything.

but……

Now the reputation of their Zhaojia Village has seriously affected the daily life of their village.

Occasionally buy a vegetable, the boss will not sell it to them.

The vegetables they grow are not bought by others.

The electrical appliances and vehicles at home are broken, and the repair shop will not repair them.

Everyone mentions them anyway...

The first reaction is a thief!

"This matter... must have been done by those two girls!"

Zhao Dezhu listened.

Gritting his teeth tightly, his expression was gloomy.

In the countryside and towns, gossip travels the fastest.

And writing bad things about their village...

It must be one to ten, ten to a hundred.

Now almost everyone in the town knows that their village is a village of thieves who specialize in stealing melons and look at them with colored glasses.

"Third brother, you don't know, my grandson came back from the primary school in the town and told me that the students in his class stopped playing with him."

"My granddaughter does the same. If she says she doesn't want to play with people from Thiougua Village, she will exclude him."

"My grandson cried there when he got home, saying that he didn't want to go to school anymore."

"What's wrong with this? How can we restore our reputation?"

"..."

Everyone raised their heads and stared at Zhao Dezhu.

to this moment.

They all realized the seriousness of the problem.

If you want to continue living in Zhaojia Village...

They had to restore Zhaojiacun's impression in other people's minds.

There are dozens of villages in the town.

Say big or not, say small or small.

If it's a big deal, the whole town may know it the next day.

This is just the beginning.

Let it ferment for a few more days...

People in the surrounding villages probably won't be next to them anymore.

after all……

Everyone is afraid of being stolen.

Now when they go out and see people from other villages, their faces are red and irritable, and they can't lift their heads.

Just steal a melon.

Things turned out like this, completely beyond their expectations.

"Third brother, let's...do we want to cut melon seedlings today?"

suddenly.

Several old people looked at each other in blank dismay and asked a key question.

Now I want to restore Zhaojiacun's reputation...

The only way is to win Hu Wenning's forgiveness and let her make a public statement to speak for them.

If I cut the melon seedlings again...

Maybe there will be some ugly words in the town.

"This……"

Zhao Dezhu was stunned for a moment, and he also figured out this part.

No matter who is behind it.

Now cut the melon seedlings short...

I can only vent.

It doesn't help.

The situation in their village has not changed.

thought here.

He squatted on the ground and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.

In fact.

He didn't care about the so-called court hearing.

But Zhao Family Village's reputation...

But it made their whole village unable to lift their heads.

Unless they relocate with their families, which is obviously unrealistic.

"How about... Let's apologize to that Hu? Ask her to forgive us?"

Then go on.

Another old man made a suggestion.

But it was instantly rejected by everyone.

The attitude of Hu Wenning and the two of them was very clear in the police station.

There is no plan to go to reconciliation at all.

"Why don't we find a lawyer. I heard that this kind of bad news about others constitutes a crime of defamation. They defamed our entire village, and we can sue them back!"

At last.

Some people put forward new suggestions based on their half-understood legal knowledge.

As soon as this suggestion came out...

Immediately won the approval of everyone.

"That's right! Let's do it. We're going to court anyway. We should hire a lawyer."

"They slandered our village so much that we were treated differently by others. I want to sue them!"

"Who knows a lawyer? Shall we go to the city and find a lawyer?"

"Who will be troubled these two days, go to the city to inquire about it?"

"..."

After some discussion.

Everyone put down their scissors and machetes.

Prepare to use "legal weapons" to protect yourself.

from their perspective.

This kind of behavior of slandering their entire village is seriously suspected of crime, which is much more serious than stealing a few melons.

They just took a few melons.

But the other party spread rumors and slandered their village, which has made them unable to live normally.

Up to their seven or eighty-year-olds, down to the left-behind children of a few years old.

They were all treated with cold eyes and contempt.

Both in life and in spirit, I suffered a great blow.

Just hire a good lawyer...

It is absolutely possible to make the other party pay the price, and to rectify the name of the village by the way!

……

The next day.

Jincheng.

In the nursing home.

While fishing at work, Qin Mu received another message from Qing Lan.

"Up, your method is really effective, they really didn't do anything to the pumpkin patch anymore!"

in the news.

With deep joy.

Qin Mu also smiled when he saw the news.

prior to.

Qing Lan has always been worried that after reporting the melon seller to the police, it will arouse revenge from the elderly.

It was like this last time.

After calling the police, the old man chopped up the pumpkins in the field.

Hu Wenning suffered a huge loss.

And this time.

It was he who spread the "scandal" of Zhaojia Village in the town.

The best way to deal with this kind of shameless old man...

It is to let them intuitively feel what it means to be malicious from the people around them!
in the country.

A town often covers dozens of villages.

These villages are adjacent to each other and communicate closely on weekdays.

Previously intermarried...

Most of them marry from one village to another.

If it is known that the old people in Zhaojia Village are collectively stealing melons...

It is bound to scoff at Zhaojiacun and despise it.

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking.

No one has such a big heart, dare to be friends with a village that is "rich" in thieves.

Maybe one day my home will be stolen.

And obviously.

His approach has achieved results, and these old people know the pros and cons.

Don't dare to retaliate wantonly.

The economic and living contacts in the village are obtained from the town.

Once the people in the town treat Zhao Family Village differently...

These old people who steal melons will know what it means to suffer for themselves!
"The next step is to wait patiently for the court hearing."

Qin Mu thought for a while and replied.

In seconds.

Qing Lan replied: "Zhou Suo specifically called my girlfriend and said that the case has been reported, and it will reply within two days at most whether to file the case."

"I hope these elderly people can find a reliable lawyer to get them a suspended sentence, and don't enter the prison for the disabled."

Looking at Qing Lan's "expectation".

Qin Mu smiled helplessly.

to be frank.

For these old men who steal melons...

Jail is the best treatment.

There is no excessive labor, food and housing are included every day, and I feel comfortable.

Everything is fine except that there is no freedom.

Probation is different.

No matter how old you are, you need to be corrected in the community, and you must also report on your daily work and life.

For these old people...

Probation is the real punishment.

……

Jincheng.

Legal Pioneer Law Firm.

"This month's performance... fell again."

Zhang Wei is sitting in the office, staring at the computer and frowning
on the computer.

It is the financial statistics, the revenue of his law firm this month.

Cases received by their law firm...

There were only more than [-] cases, which was more than ten cases less than last month.

Performance is declining.

Want to return to the peak of hundreds of cases a month...

Nowhere in sight.

"There are fewer and fewer cases in various industries in Jincheng."

He sighed again.

Some helpless.

as a lawyer.

He knows well which industry in Jincheng has the most disputes and lawsuits.

But ever since Qin Mu appeared...

There are significantly fewer disputes in those industries.

For example, the intermediary industry, the banking industry, lottery disputes, auto parts, and the pharmaceutical industry.

The crime rate has dropped significantly.

The number of criminal cases has become increasingly rare with the naked eye.

It is said that Jincheng is currently running for a civilized city.

There is still a high probability of being selected.

This also leads to...

It is getting more and more difficult for them to open a law firm.

go on like this...

Many lawyers will be forced to change careers.

"Jingle Bell--"

suddenly.

Zhang Wei's cell phone rang.

He lowered his head, picked up his cell phone, and connected the call.

caller...

It's Wang Dahammer.

"Hey, I just got inside information that there is indeed a big case here."

Once connected.

Wang Dachui couldn't wait to say: "This case involves a lot of people, but it is still in the preparation stage for public prosecution."

When Zhang Wei heard this, his expression suddenly brightened.

He arranged for Wang Dachui to go to Zizhou.

It was because he was keenly aware that there might be a case in Zizhou.

In Zizhou.

He knew many classmates who happened to work in departments such as public security, procuratorate and law.

as a lawyer.

These necessary connections still need to be available.

Only in this way can we have a way to obtain the cases that may be taken over in the first time.

"How many people were involved?"

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and asked.

"I heard it's... a village."

Wang Dahammer paused, and said hesitantly.

The voice did not fall.

Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he swallowed subconsciously.

"How many?"

"It seems to be a village. I don't know the details. It involves stealing melons. There are videos on the Internet, but they have been deleted now..."

Wang Dachui gave a wry smile, and told the truth about what he knew.

The thing about this case...

There was a lot of trouble in that Zhaojia Village.

Today's Zhaojia Village...

It is well-known in Zizhou.

Many people are spreading the story of stealing melon village, saying that a group of old men went to steal pumpkins from other people, and they continued to steal pumpkins after being caught.

"The case of the elderly?"

Zhang Wei frowned again after hearing the simple situation.

Old people steal melons.

If it is not very serious, grassroots law enforcement officers will generally not go online.

These old people dare to be so lawless.

but……

This case may be related to Qin Mu.

Those old people, or this village, are definitely going to be unlucky.

"Okay, you stay in Zizhou now, pay close attention to the development of the case, and go to Zhaojia Village after the prosecution, and try to get the agency right."

"As long as you can get the power to represent you in this case, it will be a great achievement for you!"

"By the way, at this time, we must keep it secret, and don't let the wind out!"

After some thought.

He explained to Wang Dachui carefully before hanging up the phone.

this case...

It's a big case at first glance!

Fortunately, he discovered it by accident, otherwise he would definitely have made the group of lawyers in Zizhou cheaper.

If you can take over the agency of this big case...

Their law firm might be able to radiate from Jincheng to Zizhou!

Take this to open up the market in Zizhou!
"With Qin Mu in Jincheng, it is estimated that there will be fewer and fewer cases."

Zhang Wei smiled wryly and shook his head.

Want to take the case...

Now I can only find a way from other places.

Follow the news he knows.

The number of civil disputes and civil dispute cases in Zizhou is more than three times that of Jincheng!
It was a sea of ​​red!
With the help of this case of stealing melons...

Their law firm has every chance to enter Zizhou!
of course.

The premise is still confidential.

If these wolf-like lawyers in Jincheng find out...

It is inevitable that a group of agency rights will be taken away!

……

the next day.

Zizhou.

Zhao Family Village.

The news of the public prosecution hearing spread back to the entire Zhaojia Village.

Elderly villagers gathered at Zhao Dezhu's home again.

"Third brother, the people from the court came this morning and sent me a summons."

"I also received it, saying that the court hearing will be held in five days, and I must go there then."

"On this subpoena, it is also stated that we have committed several crimes, which looks quite scary."

"Where is the lawyer? Third brother, didn't you say that you are responsible for finding a lawyer?"

"..."

In the hands of these old people...

Both had a subpoena, and a copy of the complaint.

The situation of each of them is written on it.

People from the court personally went to the door and went door-to-door to ensure that the distribution was delivered to them.

among them.

There are even sentencing recommendations.

Some demanded that they be sentenced to four years in prison.

Some demanded a sentence of three years in prison.

Some demanded a one-year prison sentence.

It looks serious.

"Don't panic, everyone. I have already contacted the lawyer, and he will come in a while."

Zhao Dezhu looked at the crowd, quite calmly.

in his hand...

There was also a summons for five years in prison.

But he was not flustered.

Just go to jail.

It's not that he has never ridden before, he is already familiar with driving.

"Is the lawyer you're looking for reliable? I called my son and my son said, maybe you don't have to go to jail if you find a better lawyer."

"Hey, what is this trouble called? My granddaughter found out about it two days ago, and said that if I go to jail, it will affect his postgraduate entrance examination, and she cried to death."

"My grandson is the same. He said that he is taking the public examination. He has been studying for several years, and he will go to the political trial soon. He also told me not to go to jail."

"I hope the lawyer will be better and don't go to jail."

"..."

Everyone sat around the yard.

He kept his head down and sighed.

Things have been going on for so long.

Everyone in their family knew about it.

The most beloved grandchildren even want to sever ties with them because of this, saying that they have affected their future.

At this moment.

Some regrets in their hearts.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been greedy for petty gains to steal melons.

just now……

They, their families, and Zhaojia Village have all been greatly affected.

Prison is not scary to them.

But it has a great impact on their family and their village.

After half an hour.

A lawyer in formal attire and holding a briefcase rushed to the scene and walked into Zhao Dezhu's yard.

"Hi everyone, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

As soon as we meet.

He showed a gentle smile, and introduced himself: "My name is Wang Dahammer, and I am a lawyer at Legal Pioneer Law Firm."

talking.

Then he took out a stack of business cards from his briefcase and distributed them to everyone.

After filing the case.

Immediately, he used various methods to recommend himself.

Zhao Dezhu was contacted.

The first came to Zhaojia Village.

At this time, more than 50 people gathered in the yard.

They are all elderly people awaiting trial.
