In the study, Boris yawned. He seemed to have lost interest in doing anything recently. Many of his old friends had returned to the southern part of the empire. Only he was still eating and waiting to die in the small county of Wu'an.
As one of the few remaining Western judges in northern Xinjiang, he actually received an invitation from the governor Qi Huaide to appoint him as a high-ranking judge. However, he did not want to do such a window-dressing job. The mascot is also accustomed to the comfortable life in Wu'an, thinking that it will be fine here forever.
The phone rang suddenly.
Boris picked up the call out of boredom. There was a slightly magnetic young man's voice on the other side, "Hello, is this the call of Judge Boris? Is Judge Boris here?"
"I am, who are you?" Boris said lazily.
"Ah, your honor, I am Lu Ming, do you still remember? The number 949447, um, the beginning of the number 949... it happened in 949, this year is 954, five years ago! "The man's voice was full of emotion, "I was twenty years old at that time, and I was eighteen years old. More than a year after I arrived in the East China Sea, in 951, my twentieth birthday...it seemed like a long time ago..."
Boris stood up in shock. For a long time, he felt that his throat was dry and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Ming, how could this young man forget?
A legal genius, I wanted to accept him as my disciple, but unexpectedly he encountered a vendetta and soon disappeared without a trace.
When I heard about him again, I found that he was already a legendary barrister in the East China Sea, but his name was changed to Lu Qianxing.
You can see his photo in a law journal, how can you hide it from yourself?
Then, this guy suddenly became a warlord of some special zone in the five Jiangnan provinces.
I didn’t pay much attention to him. I guess he came from an extraordinary family and had many old connections to support him.
But after the New Year this year, the news of the wedding of the true princess of the empire was published in all newspapers and periodicals in the four northern provinces.
The husband chosen by the princess is surprisingly that guy Lu Ming.
Subsequently, this guy was successfully elected as the provincial chairman of Zhenjiang.
Up to now, there is civil strife in Anshan, and it seems that this guy has also sent troops to participate.
It was a mess, and I didn’t pay much attention to it.
But there is no doubt that this young man is a bit scary. If he hadn't known him a few years ago, no one would have believed him.
"Your Honor, do you still remember me?" Over there, Lu Ming's voice was slightly surprised, "Your Honor?"
"Ah, ah!" Boris came to his senses in shock and opened his mouth, "Your Highness, how can I forget your heroic appearance?"
Lu Ming smiled happily, "Judge Boris is also one of my most unforgettable judges. No, there is something wrong. I thought of you first!"
Boris felt nervous and intuitively felt that things were not simple.
"Your honor, this is the case. Ma Quanyou, the warlord of Sanyuan Province in Northern Xinjiang Province, committed inhumanity and massacred civilians in Songshan Province in Ansan Province. Therefore, I am going to use my private capacity to prosecute him for committing crimes against humanity. ! ”
Judge Boris smiled bitterly, vaguely feeling something, and stuttered a little, "Then, if, if you think it is okay, prosecute..." But he couldn't help but be curious, "Crime against humanity?"
Lu Ming said: "The empire has been at peace for a long time, so there was no concept of such crimes before. But now that the war has broken out, those military commanders, or the leaders who initiated the war, wantonly slaughter civilians, torture prisoners of war, etc. If it happens, it’s very possible, right? So, what should we say about the crimes they committed? War crimes?”
"Your Honor, you and I both know that in a war, the loser will inevitably become a war criminal, and it has nothing to do with justice. So, if a demon who wantonly harms civilians defeats the whole world, is he a hero?"
“In view of this, the Eastern Alliance adopted a declaration last year that mentioned crimes against humanity.”
"Now, I personally plan to file a lawsuit against the Ma Quanyou gang for crimes against humanity."
"Your Honor, this is another opportunity to be recorded in the annals of legal history!" Lu Ming laughed.
"Don't come here!" Boris blew his beard and glared, but he didn't find it funny, and he seemed to feel a little warm in his heart.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Okay, no more joking, I will ask my most important assistant, Mr. Zhang Aming, to be my representative lawyer and go to Wu'an Court to submit the complaint. He and his team of lawyers will also fully represent me. Fight this lawsuit."
Boris had already guessed that the call was up to no good, and said helplessly: "Can't you sue him in the East China Sea or Montenegro?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Your Excellency, you should know that in today's world, the East China Sea, Montenegro and so on are as if they are in different countries from Northern Xinjiang, so the verdict will not have much impact on him." He added: "Personally, I am from Wu'an, so filing a lawsuit in my place of residence is also in compliance with legal procedures. On the other hand, in northern Xinjiang, if I sue the local governor for crimes committed, I will file a lawsuit in a different place. It’s also normal.”
Boris smiled bitterly and said: "However, the procedure is still a bit reluctant. According to the legal system of northern Xinjiang, if you want to hear cases in another place, you need permission from the higher court. If you are trying cases involving the brigade commander level, then you have to The High Court, to be precise, needs Qi Huaide's consent. Otherwise, even if I accept this case, it will be considered a violation. Regardless of the verdict, the other party's appeal process will not comply with the rules, and the trial will be declared mistrial immediately. It is different from the laws of the East China Sea and the laws of the empire. The local courts of the East China Sea dare to accept cases from all over the empire, and there are no violations..." He said with a wry smile.
Lu Ming smiled: "I will find a way for you to obtain the authorization from the Northern Xinjiang High Court. Don't worry about it." Then he said: "Of course, I still need time to prepare. This is just a preliminary idea, and you will I muttered, okay, it won’t affect your rest. Sir, welcome to Montenegro. It’s been a long time, I miss you so much.”
Boris smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I am an old man. To be honest, I am afraid of seeing you!"
Lu Ming smiled happily and hung up the phone.
……
Putting down the phone, Lu Ming picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.
In fact, Boris's character is not very good, he is greedy and lustful, but because of his previous relationship, he is completely serious about the law.

Going to Wu'an to fight this lawsuit is quite interesting and exciting.
If you want to go, you must make a big fanfare and communicate directly with Qi Huaide, so that Qi Huaide also has to protect the safety of "Commissioner Zhang" and his party.
As for getting permission from the Northern Xinjiang High Court to authorize the Wu'an Court to hear this private lawsuit, we have to think of a way.
Ma Quanyou is arrogant and domineering, and he respects his own troops. He has many political enemies in northern Xinjiang, and many people want to see his jokes.
You can start from this point.
And..., Lu Ming's eyes flashed.
Go to Wu'an, then, the dark force that killed the entire Lu family and hunted him down.
Using the identity of Commissioner Zhang and changing the perspective, I wonder if I can find out any clues?
It's also time to take a look at the opponent's cards.
Lu Ming was just thinking about it when someone reported outside, that is, outside the door of the RV: "Master, a man named Kan Santai asked to see the two Miss Kans. He was searched and he did not bring any weapons." The voice was unruly and wild, so he was naturally a wolf-riding guard. .
Although the hall was silent, the Kan sisters and Bai Narcissus were actually there.
Xue Zihan went to the city to collect evidence under the protection of the wolf cavalry guards.
Shangguan Yusuo went to walk his horse again.
While Lu Ming was thinking about something, Bai Shuixian and the Kan sisters sat quietly without making a sound.
At this time, after hearing reports from outside, the Kan sisters all looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming hummed, "Ask him to come up!"
With a cough, an old man in his fifties came up from the car door. He looked very kind, but his temples were slightly white and his face was a little haggard. It was Kan Santai.
He was startled when he got in the car. Naturally, he could not have imagined that there was something special inside the car. This milky-white living room, with its snow-white sofa, blue crystal coffee table, and transparent glass desk, had a particularly metallic and sci-fi feel.
Then, they saw the Kan sisters, who were wearing a light blue dress with a butterfly collar and looked even more graceful and graceful.
He immediately bowed deeply: "Two Bodhisattvas, Santai, thank you for saving me from the sea of fire!"
In fact, the Kan sisters used to be superior. Although Kan Santai was an uncle according to his seniority, how could he fawn over these sisters?
In particular, the two sisters married An Shuai's young master not long ago. In Anshan Province, they are like princesses, maybe even crown princesses.
That's why Kan Santai called her sisters "Bodhisattva Empress".
But for some reason today, the Kan sisters felt extremely friendly and a little sad when they saw this distant uncle.
The two sisters greeted each other: "Third uncle, don't be too polite."
Kan Shouxi is the elder sister. She reacted quickly and gently wiped the corner of her eyes and said: "Third uncle, come here, this is my sister's favor, Mr. Zhang, and it is the third uncle who was rescued by Mr. Zhang. My sister is like duckweed now. How can I help Third Uncle?" As he spoke, he thought about his current situation and felt ashamed to be seen by his tribe.
Kan Santai looked at Lu Ming and bowed deeply again: "Master Zhang! Thank you for your great kindness!" Then he knelt down and kowtowed.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Don't be too polite. You have sent us a lot of valuable information for the Montenegrin Army. Besides, you have no choice but to serve in the puppet regime, and you have not really served them. You have also served the people many times." Speak up. So, I didn’t help you, you helped yourself, but your temporary investigation is still necessary, and you were not treated rudely, right?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" Kan Santai said repeatedly, but his mood was extremely complicated.
I have never known what happened to the Kan family in Anshan City. Looking at it now, I am afraid that the situation is not good.
The two nobles who were respected as princesses now seem to have become the slaves of this Mr. Zhang. They don't even count as side chambers, so how about the rest of the Kan family?
Lu Ming smiled again and said: "I'm here. It's not a big secret, but I didn't know the location, so don't tell anyone that you saw me. Of course, even if the news gets out, it won't be a big deal. It won't be shocking. Secret, don’t be nervous!”
Huh? Kan Santai was slightly startled.
Kan Shouxi then said to the side: "The benefactor is General Zhang Aming, Commissioner of Southeast Appeasement and Commander-in-Chief of the Anshan Front."
Kan Santai was startled and quickly took off his hat and bowed: "Sir, this villain is rude, please don't take offense!"
It's him?
Indistinctly, this is Montenegro's second-largest figure.
But he has always been mysterious, his photos have never appeared in newspapers, and his job changes have been erratic.
In terms of real official position, he is certainly not the second most powerful person in Montenegro, but depending on where he needs to be moved, he must be the most trusted person of His Royal Highness the Prince of Montenegro.
The two Bodhisattva Empresses followed him, which is a blessing among misfortunes. At least, life will still be very superior. You can tell it by looking at this car. I have never heard of it. It is a car, but the inside is like a big hotel. The splendor is truly eye-opening.
Moreover, as long as she can please Commissioner Zhang, no one will dare to bully her sisters in the future.
It’s just that I have wronged the two Bodhisattvas.
Kan Santai was thinking wildly when he saw Commissioner Zhang waving to him and said: "Santai, come here, I just want to talk to you. You are the leader here. Tell me about things here, and Ma Quanyou." Crimes committed by gangsters here."
Kan Santai's heart trembled, he hurriedly took two steps and stood aside politely, "Sir, Santai knows everything you want to know."
