Great Lawyer

Chapter 51 It's really embarrassing
Zhou Yao knelt down and Qian Daoan stood aside with his hands folded.

After Fu Tao read the complaint, he said sharply, "Bring the defendant here."

Immediately, Wu Chuan, Zhou Yao's prospective father-in-law, brought him up.

Wu Chuan was in his early forties, with a long beard and rolling eyes. When he came up, he bowed down and shouted, "Master Qingtian, I beg you to be the master."

"Quiet, what are you shouting about?" Fu Tao frowned and looked at Guo Runtian, "Mr. Guo is defending him today?"

Guo Runtian took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "It's a student!"

"Okay! Since both of you have hired a litigator, let's start." Fu Tao knocked on the gavel, and then sat down on an even footing, ready to listen to the argument.

Qian Daoan stepped forward and stood side by side with Guo Runtian, saluting each other.

This is the rule.

Qian Daoan presided over the lawsuit, and he stepped forward and handed over a jade bracelet to the scribe, who handed it to Fu Tao.

"This jade bracelet was given by Wu Chuan years ago to the sons and daughters of Zhou Baoan, the master of the Zhou family. Not only does this marriage contract have this token, but also the neighbor Cai as a matchmaker, and all documents, tokens and witnesses are present. The marriage contract is indisputable. fact."

"According to the wedding date, my client, Zhou Yao, came to propose marriage on the sixth day of this month, but unexpectedly learned that Miss Wu's family had shaved her hair last month and became a nun in Yuanmei'an outside the city."

"According to the "Great Zhou Law, Household Law, Marriage, and Marriage of Men and Women" regulations, if the woman fails to perform the marriage contract, it will be regarded as a breach of contract. The dowry should be returned, and the marriage contract will be annulled, and the men and women will be safe with each other!"

"So, my lord, please prove clearly that Wu Chuan will return the dowry, and from then on each will be a marriage without interfering with each other!"

"What regrets the marriage?" Guo Runtian calmly stepped forward and asked Wu Chuan, "You have reneged on the marriage contract you made with the Zhou family's children?"

"No!" Wu Chuan shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "One woman will never marry twice, and she will never regret it."

Qian Daoan was taken aback.

Guo Runtian cast a contemptuous glance at Qian Daoan, "Wu Chuan has always been sincere. He never said that he would not marry a daughter, nor did he express that he would renege on the marriage contract! Now it is Zhou Yao who is innocently suing the government and wants to cancel the marriage contract and get back the dowry. Let me ask, who is it?" breaking the engagement."

"Mr. Guo, what you said is unreasonable. Why did Zhou Yao sue the officials? It was because the Miss Wu family became a nun privately. May I ask, who can marry a nun who converted to Buddhism? Isn't this the Wu family's repentance?" Qian Dao An frowned.

Guo Runtian cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Excuse me, which one of the "Laws of the Zhou" can be used as a basis? If a woman becomes a monk, it will be regarded as repentance of the marriage?"

"It is true that there is no law in "Zhou Lu", but there is no law, but love is there. Love and law have never been separated. If you were Mr. Guo, would you be willing to marry a nun who became a monk? What's more, Miss Wu's family is not If you are willing to return to secular life and get married, if Zhou Yao forces you to go, it will be regarded as a forced marriage, isn't this a real violation of the law."

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can children decide the marriage? As the father, Wu Chuan agrees, so the Zhou family is not considered a forced marriage." Guo Runtian said: "This is the first. The second is that the body, hair and skin are affected Parents, it is not humane for Ms. Wu to become a monk, and the Zhou family does not violate the law."

"Guo..." Qian Daoan was about to speak, but Guo Runtian interrupted him by throwing his sleeves, and said: "The above reasons are all in place, the Zhou family can go to the nunnery to get married, if the nunnery doesn't let them go, they will sue them to force the women to stay .”

"Mr. Guo..." As soon as Qian Daoan opened his mouth, Guo Runtian spoke very quickly, cupped his hands towards Fu Tao, and said: "Please also learn from me. There are two crimes in this case. crimes, in-laws do not keep their promises, and the nunnery does not abide by the rules, I ask the adults to first accuse Miss Wu of being unfilial, secondly punish Zhou Yao for regretting the marriage and being unfaithful, and thirdly reprimand the nunnery for not abiding by the temple rules."

"Wu Chuan, my plaintiff, is the real victim of all the above. He is old and infirm, and has a young son. But he still has to go to court to be the defendant and be slandered by others. It's really pitiful."

Guo Runtian said loudly: "Therefore, this engagement is still valid. If the Zhou family regrets the marriage, the dowry will belong to the Wu family. If the Zhou family does not regret it, then please go to the temple and marry Miss Wu!"

"I beg your lord to judge!" Guo Runtian's momentum was like a rainbow, and he was confident.

This small case was not as big as the Hua family's case, but he still accepted it.For no other reason, just because he knew, Zhou Yao went to Sanchitang.

The face lost in the Hua family's case last time, he must get it back in court.

It's a pity that Du Jiuyan is not here today... It's a pity, Qian Daoan has no ability, it's really boring.

Outside the yamen, there was a burst of applause, and someone shouted: "Mr. Guo, you played well!"

"It's one-sided, Mr. Qian has never seen it before, so it's impossible!"

Qian Daoan's face was pale, he had prepared a lot, thinking that after going to court, all the reasons would be on his side, but he didn't expect that when Guo Runtian opened his mouth, he wouldn't even have a chance to speak.

How could this happen? Qian Daoan shook his head, his mind buzzing.

"Brother Qian." Zhou Jichang tugged at Qian Daoan's clothes, "Speak up."

Zhou Yao was also in a hurry. He glanced at the gray-faced Qian Daoan, and was immediately disappointed. He simply yelled to himself, "Why are you going to sue the temple? You asked me to marry a nun, why don't you?"

"Mr. Zhou, you are the one who has a marriage contract!" Guo Runtian said: "Now the right is in your hands, and Anmiao innocently accepts your fiancée. You should sue Anmiao instead of pestering my petitioner!"

Zhou Yao said angrily: "Miss Wu is his daughter, of course I want to sue him."

"What did Ms. Wu do wrong? What did the Wu family do wrong? What reason do you sue?" Guo Runtian knelt down and looked at him, changing his mind, "Let me ask you, if Ms. Wu returns to vulgarity, will you still marry her?" ?”

Zhou Yao blurted out: "Don't marry!" It is impossible for him to marry a nun back home, even if he returns to vulgarity.

"That's right."

Guo Runtian stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone heard it. Even if Ms. Wu becomes a vulgar, he will not marry. This means that he has the intention to break the contract at all, and it has nothing to do with whether Ms. Wu is a monk or not."

"It's him who really regrets the marriage!" Guo Runtian stared at Zhou Yao, "It's you who wanted to regret the marriage, but you beat him back. Don't talk about retiring the dowry, if I ask the litigant to sue you for regretting the marriage now, according to the law, you have [-] responsibilities, and the dowry Return to the Wu family."

"You, think it over!" Guo Runtian snorted, and returned to Wu Chuan with a flick of his sleeves.

Wu Chuan secretly gave a thumbs up, and he said, it was right to invite people from the southwest, and it was worth the money!
That lawyer Qian has no part to speak at all.

"This case is very clear." Fu Tao said, "Zhou Yao, if you think you obey the law, I will not make it difficult for you. If you don't regret it and don't sue, I will send someone to go with you to the nunnery and arrest Miss Wu. Take it back. If you want to regret the marriage and continue to sue, then your reasoning doesn't make sense. At that time, the dowry will belong to Wu Chuan, which is reasonable."

Zhou Yao just didn't want to marry, even if Ms. Wu became vulgar, he wouldn't marry her.

He looked at Qian Daoan with a disappointed face.

This litigator was crushed to death by Guo Runtian without saying a few words in court, it was really useless.

Outside the door, the people watching the excitement made buzzing noises, and discussions continued one after another.

"Mr. Qian is too useless, he was trampled to death by Mr. Guo."

"Sanchitang is the litigation firm that handled the case for the Hua family last time. Why didn't Mr. Du come, maybe she still has something to see."

"Yes. This kind of defense is not interesting at all. It's boring."

Qian Daoan was like falling into an ice cave, and Du Jiuyan's words suddenly came to mind, "If you don't investigate this case, you don't need to accept it!"

Shouldn't he pick it up?He is wrong?
What to do, Qian Daoan looked at Zhou Xiao in a panic, and Zhou Xiao frowned in thought, unable to do anything, he looked at Dou Rongxing and Zhou Jichang in despair.

"Brother Qian, you forgot something." Dou Rongxing suddenly stepped forward, waving the things in his hand.

"What?" For some unknown reason, Qian Daoan immediately had an inexplicable hope. Dou Rongxing ran in, slipped a note to Qian Daoan, and said in a low voice, "Jiuyan gave it to me."

Qian Daoan couldn't wait to open the note, which read: Suspended, retrial at another day.

　Brother Qian is very depressed!

　　Happy holidays everyone, remember to sunscreen when you go out!
