This was the first battle of the all-powerful queen of law, Tang Xiao. However, it was not a high-profile case that could be written into textbooks. It was just a small case in which some lawyers even disdained to take on a lawsuit against the other party for spreading rumors and defamation.
The defendant is an unemployed middle-aged man who makes a living by earning some small orders for playing games online. He occasionally asks his parents who are farmers in the countryside for some money. He had a wife but they were divorced and he has no children.
There were only two or three of his friends who were also unemployed vagrants. Tang Xiao thought about it and decided to sue them all.
A greasy middle-aged man who was playing games in the small house he rented was suddenly summoned by the court and was stunned.
Then not long after, he received calls from several of his "good brothers".
Several people finally pooled together enough money to hire a lawyer. Tang Xiao refused private mediation and went straight to court.
"Lawyer Tang, why are you doing this?"
The lawyer on the other side was completely puzzled. It's not that he thought his client had done nothing wrong. If he really had done nothing wrong, he would never have proposed private mediation and would have just gone straight to court.
He just thought why bother.
With the Internet so developed today, there are countless rumor-mongers and troublemakers like his client, and there are also many who make things even bigger.
For example, a man who spread rumors about a woman who went out to pick up a package, a man who spread rumors that a grandfather and his granddaughter were lovers, a man who stole a group photo in a dormitory from someone else's homepage and said it was a 10 yuan dowry for his own daughter, seven men collectively known as the "Seven Fairies" who pretended to be women and spread rumors about boxing online after the death of a veteran (not a typo, those who understand will understand) and were arrested, and a 30-year-old unemployed man who attacked firefighters online using a female identity and was arrested.
But there are many more people like his client who spread rumors and create trouble but don't cause any big trouble. At most, they report it online, and the people in charge will see it and block their account. People like his client will keep quiet for a few days and then change their account to continue doing this kind of thing.
There are also cases where the other party is too serious and the matter escalates to the point where it has to go to court, but most of the time it can be resolved through private mediation because, to be honest, even if most people go to court, the most they can do is ask people like his client to write a letter of guarantee, apologize, and be detained for a dozen days at most.
The plaintiff's efforts and the defendant's punishment are not proportional at all, so most plaintiffs will choose to take some compensation and apology and then settle.
So he didn't understand what the client of the lawyer on the other side was thinking, and why make things so complicated?
Tang Xiao didn't answer.
Does Tang Anning care about the financial cost?
will not.
Tang Xiao looked at the information, evidence, screenshots, etc. in his hands, and felt confident of winning.
The opposing lawyer overlooked one point.
That is, other habitual rumormongers generally will not repeat and persevere in spreading rumors and slandering one thing or one person like his client.
As long as Tang Xiao puts in a little effort, the other party will have to stay in prison for at least a year.
At the end of March, the greasy middle-aged man who spread the rumor was sentenced to one year and three months in prison, and several of his cronies each submitted a gift package of an apology letter + a fine + 15 days in prison.
------
Let’s go back to early March.
The new year has passed, and Tang An Ning, who is tired of staying in the Magic City, takes Duan Jinghe on a private plane directly to the ancient capital of Luoyang.
Shanghai is synonymous with fashion and luxury, while Luoyang is a gathering place for ancient style and charm.
It was still a little cold in Luoyang in March. Tang Anning, wearing a camel-colored knee-length sweater skirt and sheepskin high heels of the same color as the skirt, stepped into the nanny car driven by Tang Lan, the housekeeper of the property.
Tang Anning's travel has always been of the same standard: a top-of-the-line nanny car is standard, with a Bentley escorting him in front, behind, and on both sides.
Duan Jinghe sat quietly next to Tang An Ning. The two of them did not bring any luggage because everything they were used to had already been prepared here.
At present, Tang An Ning has unlocked a large courtyard house in Luoyang. Different from the garden mansions in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the courtyard house here covers an area of only about five acres and is a six-entry courtyard.
The courtyard house in Luoyang is located in Baofeng Hutong, Baofeng Road.
Baofeng Hutong is the oldest of all the hutongs in Luoyang, with a history of a thousand years. However, Baofeng Hutong was only named in the past hundred years.
There are eight large courtyards in Baofeng Hutong, which was previously known as the Road of the Eight Princes' Palaces. This was because in a dynasty with Luoyang as its capital, eight princes who were brothers from the same mother had a very good relationship and built eight princely palaces together, which are now the eight courtyards of Baofeng Hutong.
Seven of the courtyards have had many owners over the past few hundred years, and the family that has lived there the longest has only lived there for more than 70 years.
Only one of them was respectfully called the Little Tang Palace by the other seven families, and it had not changed owners for hundreds of years.
Tang An Ning is naturally the owner of this house.
Early in the morning, the "Little Tang Palace", where almost no one came in or out except for shopping, became unusually lively.
Even the housekeeper Tang Lan, who rarely showed up except during the New Year holidays, took off her usual plain blue or yellow long cheongsam, changed into a solemn and exquisite purple-red cheongsam, got on the nanny car, and headed to the airport.
After a little inquiry, the other families found out that the daughter of the owner of the Xiao Tang Palace would be staying in the Xiao Tang Palace for a period of time.
Xiao Tang Palace was not called this name. The courtyard houses here only have numbers but no names. Later, the developer who was temporarily in charge of this area followed a trend and named it after the titles of the princes who had lived here. For example, Xiao Tang Palace, its official name is Prince Jin Palace.
However, because the owner of this family is named Tang and has survived the transition from feudal dynasties to modern society, it is called the Little Tang Palace.
The reason why it is called the Little Tang Palace is because most of these families know that the "Tang Garden" in Suzhou and Hangzhou is the Tang Palace.
Previously, news came from the Prince Tang’s Mansion that a daughter of the Tang family had moved into Tang Garden, and some people here speculated when someone would move into the Prince Tang’s Mansion.
Look, the Tang family is back.
When Tang An Ning got off the car, he keenly felt that many eyes were quietly falling on him. Because he didn't feel any malicious intent, Tang An Ning didn't care at all. He looked up at the words "Tang Mansion" inscribed on the courtyard and stepped into it.
Compared with the gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the courtyard houses in Luoyang were more classical and exquisite. Tang An Ning was extremely satisfied with the various supplies that had been prepared in the main house, and that evening he dragged Duan Jing and Hu to have some fun.
The next morning, Duan Jinghe was still sleeping soundly, with a faint smile on his brows and eyes.
Tang An Ning walked out of the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table in the inner hall.
