my wife is a consul

Office of Judge Sharif.

In front of the desk, on the other side of Lu Ming, sat a middle-aged man in a suit with a bumpy face. He was the deputy director of the Montenegro Public Law Firm. His name was Wang Youren, and his nickname was Wang Dazi. He was wearing an expensive suit. Wearing it on him, for some reason, it feels aggrieved and rustic.

In the law firm of Heishan, Wang Youren is the deputy director of business. He used to be a teacher of the law major of Heishan Mining School. It is said that his theoretical level is very solid and he has a high prestige in the law firm.

Nowadays, if someone dares to sue the public, it is natural to send an authoritative lawyer from the firm to crush the other party.

Sharif summoned lawyers representing both the plaintiff and the defendant for a pre-trial exchange.

Lu Ming observed that Wang Youren didn't know his true identity, otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant that he didn't even bother to look at him.

Obviously, Sharif did not disclose his true identity to the Mining Bureau.

As for the calculations, there are many possibilities.

For example, if you don't want to give yourself an excuse, the judge and the defendant have close contact in private. This is a good reason for appealing the lost case.

Another example is worrying about attracting the attention of the media in the core area of ​​the empire.

Or, exposing my identity will make me use all resources and strength to fight this lawsuit. After all, I am now in the East China Sea and maintain a proud court record. Then, if my identity is exposed, I will use my entire body to protect my face. The strength of the law firm came to Montenegro to die.

He even launched a public opinion offensive in the East China Sea, and then exerted political influence. After all, he was the leader of a local branch of the Grand Duke's Party.

Etc., etc.

In short, in Sharif's view, it may be more beneficial to pretend that he does not know himself.

"Now, both of you can reveal the evidence." Sharif said with a smile.

Lu Ming smiled: "According to the local law, there is no evidence exchange before the trial, right?"

Sharif said with a smile: "Local laws must also keep pace with the times. One day, they will be synchronized with federal laws. It's just that the people's wisdom is not enlightened, so we can only take it slowly."

Lu Ming frowned, and said, "However, even under the federal law, you don't need the judge to preside over the discovery of evidence. Instead, I communicate with the defendant's attorney in private."

Sharif smiled: "So, let's take it slowly. According to the revised draft of the Montenegro District Litigation Regulations promulgated by this court yesterday, from the date of promulgation of the draft, both the plaintiff and the defendant in a civil lawsuit must be under the auspices of the presiding judge. , to conduct evidence discovery before the trial."

Lu Ming nodded: "The regulations promulgated yesterday, the regulations that took effect from yesterday, and the Montenegro court promulgated?"

Sharif smiled: "Yes, Lawyer Lu, this is the advantage of the local system, it is very efficient and fast."

Wang Youren frowned at the side. Chief Judge Sharif, it is usually difficult to see him by himself.
This old bastard, how much kickback did this guy eat?

It has always been the case that the plaintiff eats up the defendant, but this time, it is definitely not whoever pays the highest price wins.

The old bastard, he must be judged to win, so the attitude towards this guy is so good.

What a pure bastard.

Over there, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I've always been fully prepared for a lawsuit. I also thought, if I go to a lawsuit here, I have to exchange evidence? So, I'll bring it with me. On the rickshaw outside, five A rickshaw, more than 100 boxes of documents, Your Honor, you can ask the bailiff to go outside and let my assistant bring people in."

The various data and reports of several coal mines over the years are simply the best smoke bombs to interfere with the other party's finding their own intentions. Moreover, they are not illegal, and they are all documents related to the other party's ban on several coal mines.

Sharif frowned slightly when he heard Lu Ming's words, but he still rang the bell on the table, and the clerk came in, and he gave some instructions.

Not long after, Cui Xiaodong took the rickshaw pullers and began to move documents inside.

Soon, in the corner of the office, boxes were piled up like a hill. If Sharif's office wasn't big enough, it might not be able to fit them all.

Wang Mazi stared at Cui Xiaodong with a sullen face, and sneered even more: "Traitor, you came into the office, didn't you want me to take care of you, tell me what, your teacher was taught by me, am I your master?"

Cui Xiaodong didn't dare to look at him, and didn't say anything.

Lu Ming smiled: "Lawyer Wang, did you ignore Xiaodong at the time? Why are you putting on airs as a master now? Besides, Xiaodong followed your sister's advice to find you. Do you think he would like to recognize a gardener?" Is the guy who suddenly changed careers and became a law teacher a teacher?"

Wang Mazi suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Ming, his eyes narrowed slowly.

He knew that many people talked about him behind his back and made fun of him, but this little bastard was the first one who dared to say it in person.

Facing his fierce eyes, Lu Ming shrugged indifferently, looked at the box in the corner, and said with a smile: "There is still half, Lawyer Wang, take your time when you go back, and try to finish it before the trial the day after tomorrow!"

Wang Mazi focused his attention on those boxes, and immediately frowned. When he heard Lu Ming say that there was still half of it left, he became even more impatient, "No need, I don't need it! Our administrative punishment is justified, how you like to play tricks, You can't win either! Move these boxes back quickly!"

Sharif was startled, and looked at Wang Mazi in disbelief.

He seldom presided over cases, and he was even less lazy to deal with these so-called "lawyers", and he didn't understand their real professional level at all. But this deputy director of business, an authoritative lawyer of the law firm, is that all?Don't have any basic professional qualities of a lawyer?
Although, this Lu Ming is really a headache, as if he guessed what he was going to do, he was able to play such a big trick with the regulations he improvised yesterday.

It can only be said that the preparations are too comprehensive. Lu Qianxing is Lu Qianxing, even if he is facing these idiots like pigs and dogs, he is fully prepared.

Looking at Wang Mazi, a pig teammate, Sharif let out a long breath. It seemed that he was not only fighting alone, but he might also be held back by these guys.

Fortunately, I am a magistrate, and there is no jury here. In the end, I still have to make a final decision.

It is a completely unequal battle between myself and him.

Therefore, the result is still in a controllable state.

Sharif shook his head helplessly.

Over there, Lu Ming smiled at Wang Mazi: "Lawyer Wang, whether you need it or not, I have given you all my evidence. Then, I need you to give me your evidence. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Later, my name is Cui Xiaodong. , and you go to the law firm to get it."

Wang Mazi rolled his eyes, "The law firm doesn't have what you want, so you can just read the inspection regulations of the Mining Bureau. If your coal mine violates the inspection regulations, it is illegal, and the inspection team can seal you up according to the regulations!"

Lu Ming listened to what he said in a daze, and was a little distracted for a moment. What he said seemed to make sense.

Sharif couldn't stand it any longer, and coughed, "Lawyer Wang, I think what Lawyer Lu means is, how do you prove that the coal mine represented by Lawyer Lu violated the mine safety management regulations?"

Wang Mazi said: "People from the inspection brigade, they can testify!"

Lu Ming nodded: "In other words, you only have witnesses. Even so, I have to see their testimony in advance."

Wang Mazi said: "Is it necessary? During the trial, you just listen!"

Lu Ming coughed, Cui Xiaodong, did he really graduate from the law school where he was a teacher?

"Lawyer Wang, according to the regulations Judge Sharif issued just yesterday, you need to give me these testimony in advance." Looking at Sharif, "Your Honor, am I right?"

Sharif had no choice but to nod to Wang Mazi. "Lawyer Wang, you have to prepare these testimony before tonight."

Wang Mazi's face was as dark as water, and he said in his heart that you are an old bastard, you took his money to do things, pretended to be biased towards him, just wanted to sentence him to lose in the end, and let him stop complaining about you, you did your best right?
Standing up, "Your Honor, I'm leaving. I'll do my best to testify or something!"

He turned around and left, and when he left the office, he slammed the door shut with a bang.

Lu Ming was startled, looked at Sharif and shook his head, "Why bother!"

Obviously, you, a judge who knows how to collect money, won't get real respect from the officials here.

Moreover, because of your status as a Westerner, they never regarded you as a member of their own circle, but as an outsider who was greedy and needed money to pay off, a rogue old beggar.

Although Wang Mazi didn't dare to speak out against Sharif, his performance was obvious.

If you are the chief judge of the city who is well behaved and sits well, let alone a middle-level official at the deputy county magistrate level like Wang Mazi, even the mayor in front of you, wouldn't you have to smile to accompany you?

Sharif's face turned green and pale, looked at Lu Ming, shook his head and sighed, and walked out.
