my wife is a consul

Court No. 2, Anxi District Court, Kingdom of China.

Judge Zhao Junyu was in his early thirties, personable and extremely calm.

Attorneys representing a dozen taxpayer plaintiffs and defendants' attorneys representing City Hall are in the middle of a heated battle.

The plaintiff's lawyers are from Xinjing, while the lawyers representing Anxi City Hall are Western lawyers from the Reed Law Firm hired at a high price from Donghai.

The principal defense representing the plaintiff is Tie Xiaojia, the boss and pillar of Xinjing Hongri Law Firm, a barrister who is also Lu Ming's second disciple.

Lu Ming's three disciples, Tie Xiaojia, Tong Xiaoe, Chen Qinghua, including Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong who were later accepted as disciples.

Tie Xiaojia likes freedom the most, so she still runs the office.

Tong Xiaoe is currently a judge of the Kingdom District Court of the Zhenjiang Autonomous Dominion, Chen Qinghua is the director of the Third Department of the Public Prosecution Department of the Kingdom’s Great Prosecutor’s Office, Huang Guirong is the second chief judge of the Kingdom’s Shengjing District Court, and Cui Xiaodong works in the Legal Affairs Committee of the Beining Dominion.

It was Horford, a barrister at Rhett Law Firm, who started a fierce debate with Tie Xiaojia.

The Bar Association of the New Empire has promoted the long-overdue reform of the certification of lawyers. Today, Imperial lawyers are only divided into junior lawyers, lawyers, barristers and royal barristers.

Among them, junior lawyers, lawyers and barristers can be audited and certified by the bar associations of the confederations. Royal barristers need to be nominated by Emperor William V of the Empire and certified by the Imperial Bar Association.

Although Tie Xiaojia is young, she has fought too many high-profile lawsuits and was certified as a barrister by the Xinjing Lawyers Association.

The focus of her debate with Horford now is whether the "Public Servant Reduction Act" issued by His Majesty the King of Han when he was the Prince of Montenegro counts as the superior law of the Dominion Act.

Tie Xiaojia was at a disadvantage in arguing about this point, because Horford had no respect for His Majesty the King of Han and spoke unscrupulously.

When it comes to Master, Tie Xiaojia is extremely cautious in his language, and suffers a bit in terms of verbal expression.

Lu Ming was sitting in the back row of the auditorium at this time, and he didn't notify Xiao Jia that he was here. He was wearing big sunglasses, and although he was going to take off his hat in the courtroom, no one recognized him.

Sitting next to Lu Ming, wearing a light gray cashmere skirt, long snow-white cotton socks wrapped in slender beautiful legs, very elegant and glamorous, the fragrant and beautiful young woman is the daughter of the royal house, presented by the royal sheep, presented by the frontier clan when Baihai suppressed the bandits Yes, she used to be the queen of the false king Chen Xingchang.

In fact, she has some ancestral special ability to seduce men, so she has a good insight into people's hearts. She is the deputy director of the Anxi Secrecy Bureau of the Kingdom Security Committee.

Let's say, if the palace maids from all walks of life gather together, they will really be a very scary force in Anxi.

The queen of the palace, who hasn't been favored yet, has been assigned by Bai Naixian to work with Lu Ming, travel for research, etc. Today, she is assigned to Yang Xianrong.

"Your Honor, I request to call a witness, Lu Zhengxuan, Chief of Anxi City Hall." After arguing with Horford, Tie Xiaojia bowed slightly to the judge's bench.

Mayor Lu Zhengxuan was already on the witness list, Zhao Junyu nodded in agreement.

Soon Lu Zhengxuan sat on the witness stand. He was a fat man in his fifties with slightly bald hair.

After he took the oath, Tie Xiaojia walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Lu Zhengxuan, do you agree that the "Public Service Reduction Act" is a superior law that must not be contradicted by the policies and decrees of the Anxi City Hall?"

Lu Zhengxuan was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"No!" Horford stood up immediately, "Although Mr. Lu Zhengxuan is the head of the city hall, from the perspective of legal profession, his answer is not of any reference."

Tie Xiaojia said: "However, if Mr. Lu Zhengxuan recognizes the "Public Servant Reduction Act" as a superior law, then it is impossible for him to submit the city hall decree that is contrary to the superior law to the parliament for a vote. Otherwise, Mr. Lu Zhengxuan would be seriously dereliction of duty. "

Zhao Junyu nodded slightly: "The witness has to answer this question."

Lu Zhengxuan said without much hesitation: "The laws promulgated by His Majesty the King are of course superior laws."

Tie Xiaojia looked at Horford, "I think what we have to discuss now is whether the "City Hall Institutional Reform Act" is in conflict with the "Public Servant Reduction Act". We can continue to discuss whether the Streamlining Act is the higher-level law of the local ordinance."

Horford gritted his teeth, "Mr. Lu Zhengxuan can recognize the "Simplified Act" as the upper-level law of the local law, but in fact, when His Majesty the King of Han was the Prince of Montenegro, many temporary bills were issued. If they are all regarded as the upper-level law of the local law, here The spirit of the legal system is worrisome, and I seriously doubt whether local autonomy has been guaranteed!"

Tie Xiaojia smiled slightly: "Mr. Horford, according to the constitution of my kingdom, these bills of His Majesty the King are really superior laws that restrict the framework of local regulations. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not. It's all true. And, Mr. Horford, I don't I know where you have the courage to question His Majesty's understanding of the nature of law. In fact, we can discuss this in depth in legal journals. If you can find any interim decrees signed by His Majesty, it will not have a positive effect on the Northern Territory. I think, you There is no need to stand here and put on airs, but go to the Imperial Bar Association to express your high opinion. Others don't know, but you and I, as people in the legal profession, should know what it means for His Majesty the King of Han to be awarded a permanent honorary director by the Imperial Bar Association ?Even if your master, your master’s master, can have something to do with the matter of entering the council? Saying that they have never thought about it in daydreams, right? As for you, you have really studied the laws of our kingdom Are you here to file a lawsuit?..."

"Plaintiff's lawyer, defendant's lawyer, come forward." Zhao Junyu interrupted Tie Xiaojia.

Since Tie Xiaojia has strayed far from the subject, I want to warn her now, and let her say so much, which is more or less taken care of.

Although Tie Xiaojia was warned, Horford's arrogance suddenly became discouraged. In fact, the people in the auditorium watching the excitement may not know what Tie Xiaojia is talking about.

However, as a member of the judiciary, Horford knew that he had been buried very badly, and even returned to his seat, looking at the deputy defense as if he was laughing at himself in his heart.

I always habitually regard the king of the Northern Territory as a traditional dictator, and when I speak violently, I forget who he is.

The debate that followed was whether the City Hall Institutional Reform Act was incompatible with the Streamlining Act.

Horford has never wanted to go to this point, but the result will be obvious.

According to the "Act of Streamlining", there are strict regulations for the governments of the dominions, city halls, county and town agencies, etc., and the permanent institutions, including the red line of the proportion of civil servants and the population of the service area.

Lu Ming also had no choice, but in the Northern Territory, this was the only way to go in the early days.

Anxi's "City Hall Institutional Reform Act" has not changed the permanent organization, but there are many temporary organizations, the typical one with policies and countermeasures, but it was really taken to court and criticized by sharp-tongued lawyers. Those little tricks are completely vulnerable.

Tie Xiaojia even directly criticized the City Hall for violating Article 405 of the Kingdom’s Constitution on local autonomy. It is greatly expanding the boundaries of power. According to its temporary agency settings, it is to use a large number of civil servants to enslave taxpayers. The City Hall is simply It is to establish a dictatorship.

The defendant's representative sent by the city hall was a deputy chief, but Lu Zhengxuan, who had completed the testimony, did not leave, but sat in the public gallery. At this time, his forehead was sweating, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from time to time.

For himself, it is naturally impossible to think so much, because he feels that the chief of the city hall is a bit aggrieved, and many congressmen are bewitched, so he came up with such a bill, but it was smashed down by the opposing lawyer's hat. , I just felt that there were stars in front of my eyes, and I knew intuitively that something was wrong, and I made a big mess, and the sky was about to collapse.
