Dajing female litigator

Chapter 28 Women's Lawsuit: Losing the Lawsuit (8)

After waiting for a few seconds without Master's response, Lin Zhongchun continued: "Is it true that I can't know the list of the group in advance? What's the difference between knowing today and knowing in the future? I just want to get this identity in advance. Master can't be flexible once." ?"

"You are a student of my first branch, so you naturally understand that sometimes rules are more important than anything else. The state owns the law, the family has family rules, and Hua Ting College has the rules of Hua Ting College." Master Shen said, "I see you are in such a hurry, the current situation It should be leaning towards others. It doesn’t matter if you lose for the first time, you still have a chance.”

The Dajing Dynasty had a system of three prosecutions and three trials.

Under normal circumstances, people can sue officials by beating drums. The first three times can be handed over, and more than three times, they need definite evidence or witnesses before they can sue officials. If there is no evidence, it will not be accepted.

This regulation, to a certain extent, limits the unnecessary necessity of the common people to sue the government for nothing, and improves the government's administrative efficiency and enthusiasm for serving the common people.

After all, no one wants to investigate repeatedly because of trivial matters, or investigate n times and still get the same result.

Those who need to sue the officials will naturally cherish the opportunity of three lawsuits and three trials.

If you don't need it, you probably don't even bother to come to the gate of the government.

The Master's words reminded Lin Zhongchun, yes, there is still a chance.

She nodded, thanked her master, and left in a hurry.

She wants to see the follow-up and discuss countermeasures with Dong Ying's mother and daughter.

Seeing Lin Zhongchun leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Shen smiled helplessly. After all, he was still just a child.

In the courtroom, the county magistrate listened to Zhang San's testimony and asked him several questions related to the case.

At present, the defense of Dong Ying's mother and daughter is very weak.

Compared with the testimony of witnesses, there is no directional evidence to prove the facts of Meng Xibao's actions, and the answer has a clear tendency.

"Snapped--"

"Dong Ying, Zhang Ruyi, do you have any rebuttals?"

Dong Ying's palms were sweating, she couldn't think of it, and now her heart was beating suddenly.

"My... my lord..." Dong Ying's whole body was trembling, "The miner wants to sue Meng Xibao for committing misdeeds against the miner!"

The county magistrate's face was not obvious, but he was really surprised.

Meng Xibao is really a cancerous existence!
In fact, this is not the first time he has accepted the case against Meng Xibao, but the Meng family has done everything seamlessly, so far no one has succeeded.

"One case, one lawsuit, needs to be sued separately."

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the pleadings of civil cases are called Fu Bie, and the pleadings of criminal cases are called "Ji".

Now Dong Ying is involved in suing Meng Xibao for the deceased, so he submitted the prescription.

Although Meng Xibao had offended her, it was still a criminal case, but the pleadings were different, and the facts of the case were also different. Except that the defendant was Meng Xibao, there was no similarity.

The county magistrate continued: "Dong Ying, is there any other evidence, or arguments that can prove or refute Meng Xibao?"

"Go back to your lord, the girl has nothing to say." While speaking, Dong Ying burst into tears.

Sure enough, is it useless to sue the officials?

Not only did she fail to avenge her father, she also revealed the fact that she was offended.

useless!
Dong Ying's heart was frustrated, her body trembled violently, as if she had suddenly fallen into a bottomless dark abyss, and she couldn't see the sky above, except herself, it was the cold outside world.

Aunt Ruyi saw her daughter's fear, and stretched out her hand to pull her into her arms: "My lord, what Meng Xibao did is unreasonable. This candied haws vendor must have been threatened and intimidated by him. I hope my lord can thoroughly investigate..."

Before Aunt Ruyi finished speaking, the peddler immediately climbed forward and turned up the volume to cover Aunt Ruyi's voice.

The peddler selling candied haws: "My lord, what Cao Min said is true, and I have not been threatened!"

Meng Xibao was very satisfied, "My lord, the facts of the case have been clarified, let's close the case as soon as possible, and don't waste your precious time, my lord."

The onlookers who watched the excitement outside also left in twos and threes to go home for dinner. It was noon and they were starving to death.

The county magistrate was a little helpless, but the situation was exactly as Meng Xibao said. Now that the facts of the case have been found to this point, it is time for a trial.

He glanced at Dong Ying's mother and daughter sympathetically, and then took a picture of the gavel.

"Snapped--"

The county magistrate said: "After my investigation and evidence collection, Dong Ying and Zhang Ruyi sued Meng Xibao for intentional homicide, and the case ended. The lawsuit of Dong Ying and Zhang Ruyi against Meng Xibao was dismissed. Retire!"

"Snapped--"

Another gavel, the county magistrate withdrew and left.

When Lin Zhongchun arrived, Dong Ying's mother and daughter had already left, and only Sun Zhaozhou was still waiting for her.

Sun Zhaozhou said: "They have gone home."

It's also embarrassing, knowing the truth, but being unable to get the culprit caught and imprisoned.

Lin Zhongchun sighed, and immediately went to the south of the city, planning to find Dong Ying's mother and daughter.

Sun Zhaozhou held her back, "They look very sad, and they probably don't want to see you."

"The group list will be released in the future, I want them to sue again." Lin Zhongchun looked back at Sun Zhaozhou, "Which way are they going?"

"Are you an idiot? The county magistrate dismissed the prosecution, and you let them continue? Lin Zhongchun, not everyone has the courage to overcome obstacles. When Dong Ying and her mother passed by me just now, they cried and burst into tears. Even ignoring the girl who belongs to Hua Ting Academy like us, what do you think you can do?"

Sun Zhaozhou didn't deliberately hit Lin Zhongchun either.

This is the case.

Ordinary people can't accept the setback of losing the lawsuit, not to mention that Dong Ying's mother and daughter don't have enough money to sue the government.

They lost their main labor force, and with the suppression of the Meng government, the family was already impoverished, to the point where even a mouse would dislike it.

Prosecutors need to pay litigation fees. In civil litigation, both parties need to pay "shusuo", that is, one hundred Wen.

Both parties to the criminal proceedings must pay "Jun Jin", which is three hundred Wen.

If the plaintiff fails to pay the litigation fees in advance, he will be deemed as "self-contained", or the case will not be accepted, or he will be sentenced to lose the case.In some areas, in order to prevent the defendant from not paying the money, the plaintiff will be charged twice the litigation fee in advance.

Dong Ying's mother and daughter have already spent three hundred Wen to sue Meng Xibao.

One penny can eat two steamed buns, and three hundred pennies is almost their living expenses for a year.

Lin Zhongchun wanted to help, but what Sun Zhaozhou said made sense.

At this point, she didn't want to give up: "Then I can't just do nothing, right? Sun Zhaozhou, if I let the truth be buried forever because of this failure, wouldn't it be a shame for me to still aspire to be a lawyer? "

"Do you think that if you defend Dong Ying's mother and daughter as a trainee litigator, you will definitely win?" Sun Zhaozhou understood that Lin Zhongchun's starting point was good, but he had to look at it in light of reality.
