Bron District Court.
There were four people sitting in the defendant's seat, Bertram, Lu Ming, Han Mary, and village representative Luo Xiaozhu.
The plaintiff's seat is occupied by the Hansis team and the plaintiff Hamilton and others.
Judge John Han is an old man in his fifties with gray hair.
After the trial began, Portlem stood up first and said, "Your honor, I request to summon the plaintiff's witness, Ms. Han Hiddink."
Han Hiddink is the mayor of Kuisi Town. In the old archives of Kuisi Town, there is a document that the Hamilton family owns the land in the Triangle Ao in the northwest of the town. The land reclaimed by Luojia Village belongs to the Triangle. Col area.
This land was part of the land given to the nobility of Bronn by the Duke of Hanzhou during the Great Reclamation Period. The Hamilton family got it. In fact, it can be seen that the Hamilton family was a very weak family at that time, because this land It was originally worthless. Of course, the title of Duke of Hanzhou has long since ceased to exist.
Now that he heard that Bertram was going to summon Hanhiddink, Hansis immediately stood up and said, "Objection. Ms. Hanhiddink has been cross-examined many times, and the document has also been proven to have legal effect! Although the defendant has changed We have hired a lawyer, but we can clearly know from the trial records which stage the court proceedings have reached. If we keep lingering and procrastinating, it will be a waste of court resources."
Judge John Han nodded: "Defendant lawyer, what is your purpose of summoning Ms. Han Hiddink? If it is to entangle Ms. Han Hiddink's character or the legality of Exhibit No. 1, unless there is new conclusive evidence. , otherwise I will not allow you to cross-examine Ms. Hiddink again."
Portlem smiled and said: "Your Honor, we do have new evidence, because the museum documents come from the Great Reclamation Period. Ms. Hanhiddink's family has been the night watchman of Queth Town since the Great Reclamation Period. We hope to cite the legal provisions of the Great Reclamation period and whether they are still applicable today. We need Ms. Hans Hiddink to testify."
"Objection..." Hansis stood up again.
Judge John Hans waved his hand. This is indeed a new perspective. It would be unreasonable to not allow the defendant's lawyer to continue. "It is allowed to summon Ms. Hiddink to come to court again to testify." He asked Hansis again: "Ms. Hiddink today. Can you come to court?"
Hansis nodded: "We are already prepared for the defense to entangle randomly, so Ms. Hanhiddink and the main witness are both here."
The jurors in the jury box all smiled. Obviously, they already knew who would win the case.
Soon, Han Hiddink took the witness stand. She was an elegant woman in her early fifties.
Portrait took two steps to the witness stand, smiled and said hello, and then said: "Ms. Hiddink, can I start?"
Han Hiddink nodded slightly.
Portraim said: "Ms. Hiddink, in the previous sessions, you proved from a historical and legal perspective that Exhibit No. 1 is still legally valid today. We all know that Exhibit No. 1 comes from the Great Reclamation Period. So, Ms. Hiddink, do you think the free farming law, which also comes from the great reclamation period, still has legal effect?"
Han Hiddink shook his head: "I am not a legal expert, so I am not qualified to answer your question, but what I know is that the Free Farming Act is a federal-level law. Most of the empire now has It has been clearly abolished. There was a case in Hanzhou more than ten years ago that regarded the free farming law as a forgotten law from the old era that was not in line with the spirit of the current law, and ignored it. I also know that there are many ancient laws that have not been expressly repealed. The law is completely inconsistent with life in the new era, seems ridiculous, and will not be recognized by the court.”
Over there, Hansis had a smile on his face, which he had obviously prepared for a long time ago.
Portraim asked a few more questions, and Han Hiddink answered them all flawlessly.
"So, Ms. Hanhiddink, do you think that the "Lord Bronn's Law" kept in the Quithtown Museum has full legal effect?" Potram finally asked.
Han Hiddink considered it and said: "Let me say it again. What I want to explain is that the land grant and inheritance rights based on the "Law of the Lords of Bronn" are still legally valid now, not that " "Lord Bronn's Law" also has legal effect. Just like, if Lawyer Bertram's ancestor was once rewarded with a piece of jewelry by the Great Emperor, then as long as the jewelry was not sold by the lawyer's ancestor, but was passed down to the present, Of course it’s still yours, the lawyer!”
Over there, Hansis had a victorious smile on his face.
Botelem nodded: "So, the premise is still that the "Lord Bronn's Law" has legal effect when it is promulgated."
Han Hiddink thought for a while and nodded slightly.
"Your Honor, I have no other questions!" Portrait bowed slightly to the judge's bench.
……
After Hans Hiddink stepped down from the witness stand, Portraim made a few more moves with Hanssis, but did not take any advantage.
At ten o'clock, Judge John Han announced that the court would be adjourned for twenty minutes, which was actually time to go to the toilet.
Lu Ming and others returned to the lounge and were discussing something in a low voice when the door of the lounge was knocked and Hansis came in with a victorious smile on his face.
"Lawyer Lu! This is our new settlement agreement!" Hansis sent a letter to Lu Ming. Apparently, he investigated his opponents and identified the big and small kings.
Lu Ming smiled, and the man next to him, Mary, picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Our client rejects your agreement."
Hancis's face immediately sank, "What do you think you do?!" Although she is a school belle-level beauty, which is very pleasing to the eye, she is still a student girl. It is too contemptuous to use her to entertain herself.
"We have read the agreement you proposed, and we did not reject it in violation of the rules, but we are not satisfied with your conditions!" Mary Han raised her pretty face unyieldingly.
Hansies's face darkened. After being so ignored, the good mood just now disappeared and he said to Lu Ming: "Lawyer Lu, it's because of you that I worked hard to persuade my client to propose such a generous settlement agreement. You should know that you will lose this lawsuit!"
Portraim stood up and said, "When you are finished, please leave, otherwise we will file a complaint with the court!"
I originally came here to show off my power, but I didn’t expect that Lu Qianxing, a famous young genius in the East China Sea and a geek, would actually come here to pick up his wife. He was so sure of it that he won the case and was promoted to the third rank next year. There was hope, and he was able to leapfrog and defeat him. This was much more fulfilling than defeating a fifth-level lawyer like Bertram.
But I didn't expect that I hit a soft nail. From beginning to end, Lu Qianxing didn't speak to me.
With a cold snort, Hansis turned and left.
Looking at his back, Potram shook his head helplessly: "I don't even know if I'm going to die." He was even more grateful in his heart. Sure enough, when he was standing opposite his young boss, he usually didn't know how to die until the last moment. Don't know.
If I were him now, he would think he has a chance to win.
It is really a blessing to not have to be the boss's opponent in court.
Thinking wildly, Potram said: "Boss, do you really want me to continue?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Well, you go ahead. I can't speak it all in Western."
Portraim was very grateful, knowing that his boss gave him a chance. Otherwise, how difficult would it be to prepare a translation for the court? Zhongzhou language is also the official language and can be used in court, not to mention that Hanzhou is still a state where Zhongzhou people make up the majority.
Lu Ming thought about it. It seemed that his study of Western languages must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. After all, portable translation is not as convenient as being able to listen and speak.
I looked at Hansis again, and now I see that although she does not have the qualifications of several of her apprentices, she may not be able to become a qualified or even excellent lawyer. From the moment she took the initiative to deal with Hansis, she showed a little... She is sharp and has a quick mind. She knows that she will not read the so-called settlement agreement, but it is against the rules if no one on her side goes to see it. She is just a little assistant, just right to send Hansis away.
I am still a student in school, so I still have flexibility.
"Mary, you did a good job." Lu Ming nodded to her.
As soon as Mari Han was stunned, she felt a huge joy filling her heart. She never imagined that she would be praised by someone, not just a compliment, but just a polite word of recognition. She would be so flattered and excited that she wanted to sing. , as if the body is light and weightless, as if drunk.
……
The trial will continue soon.
Portlem stood up and asked again for Ms. Hanhiddink to be summoned.
Before Hansis could cry out his objections, Portrait said: "Your Honor, we have doubts about the legal validity of the Bronn Lords Act when it was promulgated, and we hope to get an answer from Ms. Hiddink."
This is another new point. Judge John Han pondered for a moment and nodded: "I hope you won't waste our time."
A few minutes later, Han Hiddink sat on the witness stand again.
Portraim walked up to her and said with a smile: "Ms. Hiddink, have you heard of the Oriole Movement?"
Including the auditorium, everyone in the court was startled, and the atmosphere became a little strange. The jurors in the jury box, who were already drowsy, suddenly became energetic and looked at it in surprise. To Portrait.
The Oriole Movement is the Burung independence movement.
Han Hiddink hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "I've heard of it."
Portraim stared at her. In fact, not only had this lady heard about it, she was also a key member of the Oriole Movement in the northwestern region of Bronz.
Portrait continued: "We all know that the Oriole Movement is a movement that takes the territory of the Duke of Hambron as its legal basis and demands the establishment of an independent country. At least, this movement hopes to win for the Bron area the same rights as the duchy. Autonomy! ”
In fact, Hanbulon was just an earl, but he bribed the religious leaders of Hanzhou at that time and crowned him as Grand Duke.
It was a very chaotic era. Religious power was once very important, but with the brutal suppression of the imperial power, in the current era, the empire has no religion that can be recognized by the majority of people.
The current Oriole Movement regards Count Khan Brom as the pioneer of the independence movement.
Count Hanbronn spent his whole life pursuing the goal of becoming a duke recognized by the emperor of the empire. However, he died young and in an unknown manner. It is generally said that he was assassinated from the imperial capital.
Of course, there are also many rumors and unofficial histories saying that the Duke of Hanzhou assassinated him.
This is also a national shame in the hearts of many Broon people.
Botlem now calls Hamblen "Duke", and from the auditorium to the jury box, his impression of him suddenly improves.
Although this guy is a foreigner, he looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Over there, Potram looked at Han Hiddink and continued: "The territorial map on the Oriole flag does not include most of the western part of Quesi Town, including the triangle area we mentioned in court. , isn’t it?”
Han Hiddink nodded solemnly.
Hancis stood up: "Your Honor, this article has nothing to do with the independence movement. Although the Oriole Territory's territorial claim does not include the Triangle Colony, that is another issue. If our Oriole Territory is recognized by the Federal Empire in the future , the Triangle Ao area can be regarded as a territorial dispute between the Huangying Territory and the Hanzhou Territory! It does not mean that this court has no jurisdiction over the Triangle Ao area." He also suddenly realized that the other party was actually trying to play political manipulation.
These foreigners are indeed despicable and shameless, whether they are Westerners or Central Asians.
Botelem smiled and said: "Lawyer of the plaintiff, you have already spoken without hesitation. Of course, this court has jurisdiction over the Triangle Col area. Otherwise, why would we be standing here arguing? However, if this court finally As a result, we lost the case, which means that the Bron court recognized that the "Lords of Bron Law" had legal effect in history."
"As for the "Law of the Lords of Bronn", the largest lords of the enfeoffed land were the nobles of Zhongzhou from Hanzhou. In this law, the children of the Duke of Hanbulon were deprived of their land. The so-called The Huangying Territory no longer exists. According to this law, the land in Bulong was undoubtedly owned by the Duke of Hanzhou at that time, and it was divided into the territories of multiple counts, so the geographical concept of the Huangying Territory did not exist. "
Portrait looked at the jury box: "So, the Huangying independence movement completely violated the federal peace law. You will personally judge how absurd the Huangying movement is. Based on this precedent, in the Hanzhou Assembly, it is possible that It will pass the law, not to mention the power to hold a referendum. Any relevant proposals in the Bronn Assembly are illegal and there is no chance of getting a vote in the Assembly. I think the members of the Hanzhou Assembly have been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. You will provide them with the most powerful weapons with your own hands."
There was sudden silence in and out of the court.
After a while, Potram said: "Of course, if our civil courts must involve political leanings, it would be sad."
“When we look back at this story, the focus should not be on the Law of Lord Bronn.”
Portraim returned to his seat, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and continued: "Actually, according to the jurisprudence of the Ninth Circuit of the East China Sea regarding Pearl Island, we have determined the law known as adverse appropriation. Principle, later, Donghai lawyer Mr. Lu Qianxing, Donghai High Court Justice Christine and other legal professionals published articles on this principle in legal journals, reflecting on and improving the legal thought of adverse appropriation, and gradually formed Mainland China in our legal profession."
“In this case, the barren land has not been cultivated for more than a hundred years, which itself is a serious waste of social resources.”
"Lawyer Fan Dehei in Mainland China mentioned that if such desolate land exceeds a certain period of time and is reclaimed by others, it will be occupied by the reclaimers. The time limit for desolate land can be set at twenty to thirty years. ”
“Lawyer Lu Qianxing proposed that land tax be levied on deserted fields. If the owner of the land refuses to pay, he will automatically lose his ownership rights.”
"Wait."
"In short, our elite decision-makers in the legal field have put forward various discussions on this. Its essence is a call for social fairness and a restraint on the rich's waste of social resources. In a deeper sense, It’s like a rich man throwing away a piece of bread and it being picked up and eaten by a poor man who was about to starve to death. The nature is the same.”
Botlet looked at the judge's bench and the jury's bench, "So, this ruling may create a landmark demonstration for the Bloom Court and the jurors in the historical process of creating a fair society. , I will write down a lot, your honor and jurors, the future lies in your thoughts!" They bowed slightly and turned around to walk to the dock.
But I secretly admired that the boss didn’t even bother to use political correctness to win this lawsuit, and proposed the paradox of political correctness, which only **** the nationalistic fanaticism and xenophobic tendencies of the Bronn people from judges to jurors. The chain was broken, forcing them to think calmly about the possibility of this chain in another direction.
In just one session, there is no doubt that the situation will be reversed.
You can tell by looking at the ashen-faced Hanssis in the plaintiff's seat.
