Tacitus in love, Plato in trap

"The subpoena, none of the family have sent it out today..."

Putting a thick stack of materials back into the briefcase, Fang Quan sighed heavily: "At least before that, I have to..."

"before what?"

"Ah, nothing..."

Really careless, now is not the time to mention that.Although he drank too much that day, Fang Quan still remembered Brother Yan's suggestion.

It's just that I haven't found the time to say it yet.

"Oh." Without further questioning, Yi Zhongming opened the iron gate of the community and let Fang Quan go out first, "It's like this during the day, there are a lot of people going to work, and I saw you entering the yard wearing a uniform and wearing a badge If you come here, those old, weak, sick and disabled people who stayed behind will not open the door for you. And now that they are familiar with each other, they will be wary of coming at night..."

"Hey, isn't it just a few thousand yuan for the property fee... As for it?" Looking back at the words "First-class Sanshui" floating on the gate, Fang Quan curled his lips.

"The so-called 'don't steam steamed buns for breath'? I feel that the usage is not very accurate..." Yi Zhongming rubbed his chin, "But even if it is this result, I believe Manager Sun will accept it calmly..."

"Manager Sun is probably just used to it..."

The shade of the trees only covered the entrance of the community, and the two of them walked onto the sunny sidewalk. Although it was not the hottest time of the day at noon, they still felt irritable in the sun.Fang Quan took off his coat and held it in his hand, then rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned his neckline—yesterday, the cooling wind was still blowing, how can the temperature rise today?Fortunately, Yi Zhongming can wrap himself so tightly...

However, it was precisely because of this drop in temperature that Fang Quan saw Yi Zhongming wearing a magic robe for the first time: the magic robe should be the largest size, but for some reason, I always feel that Yi Zhongming wears it more like a big dress than a robe. No. cloak.

...That's why I glanced at him a few more times yesterday.Well, that's it, no problem.

As for being shaken for a moment by the decision I made, it's even more nonsense!

"What's the matter with that red spot on your neck?" Yi Zhongming said abruptly, he squinted his eyes and stared at himself, the unhappiness in his heart was written all over his face.

"Huh? Neck? Red spots?" Fang Quan touched his neck subconsciously, "Why don't I know? Could it be a mosquito bite?"

"Oh, it seems that the mosquitoes in autumn are quite powerful." Yi Zhongming stretched his neck, "and they are quite good at picking places..."

"... Isn't it just a red dot? As for being so angry?!"

"Who is angry with you, come here!" It turned out that Yi Zhongming was walking into a shop on the street, "There is no food in the courtyard at this point, let's find a place to solve it." Open the curtain and walk in , Turning around and seeing Fang Quan standing still on the road, he added another sentence, "Last time I saw that you ate the beef noodles at this restaurant, so I chose this one today. Do you have any objections?"

"Ah, that..." Fang Quan looked away, and reluctantly took two steps forward.

"Which one?"

"Yes... ah, that's right!" Suddenly remembered a serious question, Fang Quan quickly changed the subject, stepped forward and pushed Yi Zhongming inside, "Take off your coat quickly, didn't the president emphasize a lot Is it all over the place? Going out to eat and doing something in this outfit is easy to cause trouble."

"Tsk, isn't it just to eat a bowl of beef noodles, as for?" Saying so, Yi Zhongming took off his coat obediently, "Although the level of people adding oil and vinegar on the Internet nowadays is quite amazing. ..."

"The clothes...from the court?"

Hearing this urgent call, Fang Quan's body stiffened immediately.

... Oops, look at my unlucky crow's mouth...

"Are you from the court? Are you from the court?" A young girl—who doesn't look as big as Fang Quan—opened the curtain and came in. She looked left and right, and then grabbed Yi tightly. Putting Zhong Ming's clothes on, he squatted down, "My family said that your court has accepted the case, but you must not just listen to what they say!"

Fang Quan and Yi Zhongming narrowed their eyes at the same time.

*******************************************************************************

"What was the result?"

"As always, you know."

When he returned to the courtyard, he was about to go to work, and the corridor was very busy with people coming and going, so Yi Zhongming answered the judge's question loudly without hesitation. Yi Zhongming glared inward with some viciousness.

"Ah, that's really the case." The judge leaned against the door of the temporary office, not surprised at all, "Speaking of which, we brought in a few more cases this morning—"

"Is there such a case in it: the son of the owner of Shaxian Snacks and the son of the owner of the braised pork trotter rice beat each other, and the son of the owner of Shaxian Snacks beat the son of the owner of the braised pork trotters and rice into the hospital and escaped. The people from the Sha Xian Snack Shop expressed their unwillingness to compensate for the damage, so the people from the Braised Pig’s Trotter Rice Restaurant sued the kid who ran away—is that so?”

At this moment, the chief judge was finally surprised. She opened her mouth and blinked her eyes: "Why do you—"

"Oh, the daughter of the braised pig's trotter and rice boss came to look for us just now when we were having lunch outside." Yi Zhongming shrugged, "So, President, can you assign this case to me? I promised that girl named Zhu Liye to take notes for her, and she will come in the afternoon—maybe she will be here soon..."

"No problem, originally this case was assigned to you, but—"

jingle bell~~~~~

The caller was the bailiff in charge of the security check at the gate.

"Is it a first-class court? There was a young woman who smelled of gasoline and said she wanted to find you. Because it was too suspicious, we detained her first."

Putting down the phone, Yi Zhongming and Fang Quan exchanged glances.

"...I think it's Julie Ye..."

"I also suspect it's her...but she's just here to take notes. Is it necessary to fight us like this?!"

"Alas, don't guess what the party is thinking." The chief judge shook his head and said with emotion, "The only good thing is that the security check in the courtyard is very strict, if it was still in our own court, Brother Hou would definitely not have discovered this matter. "

"Hey!!!! I'm still here!!!" Brother Hou, who was taking a lunch break in the temporary office, protested loudly.

*******************************************************************************

"One, two, three, four... people are almost all here. Boss, please close the glass door. It's not good for your business if those onlookers come in, right? ——Really, no one comes to the court usually, today There are so many people watching a case... Then Fang Quan, we are now—hey, what are you giggling about?"

"It's great, now it's like this..." After a few days, Fang Quan sat in his favorite beef noodle shop again. Even if he didn't come to eat, he couldn't help looking around excitedly.

"??? Where is it?" Yi Zhongming narrowed his eyes and pushed his glasses.

"Although we are dispatched to the court, there are a lot of times when we go out to check evidence, send subpoenas, etc., but when we deal with the case formally, it feels like we still spend more time sitting in our own office and in our own court, like It seems that this is the first time for us to go deep into the fields like this!"

...and can experience this, the past three months are not in vain...

"...Where did the 'field' come from? Where did the 'land' come from? Sanshui is a provincial capital city with a history of hundreds of years, and Erbing District is also a central city, right?! Seriously," Yi Zhongming Helplessly, he glanced at Zhu Liye who was huddled next to his father, "If it wasn't for fear of causing trouble, would it be necessary for us to go to such a place to mediate the case?"

"I said, can you stop treating my daughter as a terrorist?" Boss Zhu of the stewed pork trotter rice finally couldn't hold back when he heard the conversation between Yi Zhongming and Fang Quan. That's why you did that, didn't you want to express your anger at the fact that your brother was injured by the jerk from the restaurant next door?! Isn't that right, Li?"

"..."

Zhu Liye sat there silently, neither affirming nor refuting her father's words.Yi Zhongming and the others, who had already heard her unilateral report, could more or less understand her situation.

"Huh, it really is a family." Boss Sha Xian Snack Luo, who was sitting diagonally from Boss Zhu's family, sneered.

"Who likes to resort to violence? If it weren't for your fault first, I wouldn't bother fighting with him?!" Like Yi Zhongming a few days ago, the son of Boss Zhu, whose head was wrapped in gauze, Zhu Tiye, Hearing Boss Luo's words, he slapped the table and stood up, "Your son is sneaking eyes at my sister all day long, warning him but not listening, and now he hits someone and hides from us. Hey, he has the ability to beat people Why don't you have the ability to go to court? Today the judge came and sentenced that bastard to ten or eight years!"

"What kind of tutor is this, you!" Boss Luo couldn't sit still anymore, he got up from his seat and walked towards the seat where Boss Zhu's family was sitting, "I really think that even if my family Luo Miou beats you to death, it will be regarded as doing justice for the heavens. Woolen cloth!"

"Hey, sit down, sit down!" Without a gavel, Yi Zhongming could only tap his pen on the table, "Really, what are you doing, you guys, the premise of agreeing to mediation is for the convenience of sitting together Fighting? Aside from anything else, this is someone else’s shop after all, can you pay attention to the impact?!” Wearing uniforms, coupled with Yi Zhongming’s terrifying face, the plaintiff and the defendant quickly met each other. To be honest, seeing that Fang Quan finally wiped off the grease on the table and put the manuscript paper away, he continued, "Since it is in someone else's shop, we can't delay other people's business too much, so I don't care about the cause and effect of the matter." I said it. Now the defendant can’t be found. Theoretically, according to the procedure, we have to announce the delivery, but no one can afford it in three months, so everyone here can adjust it! Please maintain it well if you can. Communicate frankly under the premise of order, and strive to reach an agreement before the dinner peak of this restaurant—the plaintiff first.”

"My request is very simple." It was obvious that Zhu Tiye was suppressing the fire in his chest, "To pay me a total of 30 yuan for medical expenses and mental damage."

"Then what we can accept here is also very simple." Boss Luo rolled his eyes, "I'm only willing to pay for medical expenses. I don't think you have any mental damage that deserves to be compensated by my family."

"This matter about your family made my sister so angry that she poured gasoline and ran to the court. Isn't it considered a mental loss?"

"Then I'll probably pay you a little more to send her to a mental hospital..."

"What do you mean?! What do you want to express?!"

……

…………

………………

Unsurprisingly, the scene was soon on the verge of getting out of control again.Anyway, the mediation is not a court session, and there is no record of pressure. Fang Quan, who is used to it, simply moved to Zhu Liye's side quietly at this moment: "Miss Zhu, don't you plan to take this opportunity to explain your words clearly to everyone? The facts you said It will completely change the direction of the whole situation!"

"I..." Zhu Liye took a peek at her father and brother, and said in a low voice, "As you can see, my family has not had a good relationship with Boss Luo's next door. If I want to tell them about this, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, from the court!" Although Zhu Tiye was busy arguing with Boss Luo, he was still able to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. "Why are you sneaking around with my sister? Did you treat my sister too? What's the plan?"

...Is this the so-called overprotective desire?Even if it wasn't for Luo Miou, Fang Quan would more or less want to beat him up now.

But now is not the time to think about it.

"Miss Zhu Liye, since you have come here, you must have the courage to say what you have to say!" Ignoring Zhu Tiye, under Yi Zhongming's slightly surprised gaze, Fang Quan stood up and said to Zhu Liye Said, "You don't even have to die, so what if you announce your relationship with Luo Miou? Maybe you can help him!"

"The relationship with Luo Miou...? What did the court person mean?!" Boss Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at his daughter suspiciously.

"I..." Zhu Liye's whole face was flushed red after being so excited by Fang Quan. She took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "Actually, I have already argued with Luo Miou..."

"Crap... proof...? Ah???" Zhu Tiye and Boss Zhu were startled from ear to ear by the shocking news, while Boss Luo who was opposite seemed to have just heard the news, and his face turned blue.

"To be honest, I have been in love with Luo Miou for a long time." Zhu Liye lowered her head and told the ins and outs of the matter, "But because the underground work was done well, no one found out. When something happened—— It was the incident where my brother was injured by Luo Miou—the day before, Luo Miou and I both stole our household registration books and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a certificate. Then that happened the next day... Luo Miou It was indeed wrong for Miou to hurt brother, but brother, what you said at the time was too aggressive! You threatened to seek revenge on Luo Miou afterwards, so of course he has to hide!"

"Crush? You say I'm rushing? Isn't the conversation between our two families always like that?" Zhu Tiye said, and glanced at his father, Boss Zhu, "Since his family opened a restaurant next door to us, Just keep making trouble for us, don’t the father and son do less slander and insult? If we do this, it’s considered—”

"Is it justified?" Yi Zhongming, who had been watching from the sidelines, raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Oh, the relationship between your two families is unexpectedly 'harmonious'." He turned to Zhu Liye and raised the pen in his hand, " Since you have such a close relationship with Luo Miou, do you know where he is now? You know, it is very troublesome for us to find the person involved..."

"I really also..."

"It's okay, we won't do anything to him." Boss Zhu assured his daughter with some lack of confidence, and then added, "For the time being, we won't..."

"But I really don't know..." Zhu Liye sounded like she was about to cry, "He turned off the phone after he left that day, and even I don't know how to contact him... If it wasn't for being/pressed, I'm not going to pour gasoline on me either!"

"Even so, pouring gasoline is too..."

"All right, all right, stop arguing! I, Luo Miou, are right here!"

"what?!"

Hearing a male voice coming from the kitchen behind the beef noodle restaurant, everyone turned their attention.

"Don't blame the proprietress, I just came here yesterday. I'll tell you where I went before." Quickly walking past Zhu's family, the tall and thin young man hid behind Yi Zhongming and the others, "You guys I heard what I said just now. It is a fact that I hit Zhu Tiye, and it is also a fact that Zhu Liye and I have obtained a license. No matter how you look at it, our Zhu family and Luo family are actually a family now, as the saying goes If you can admit the relationship between me and Zhu Liye, then my father and I can still discuss the matter of compensation."

"You don't / want / face, you still want to talk to us-"

"Sit down!" Boss Zhu scolded his son severely, and then covered his forehead in frustration. After a long time, he sighed, "I don't care about the affairs of you young people. I can't control it anymore! Let's talk about the money first, and then you can do whatever you like!"

"Huh? What's the matter with you?! You don't want to take responsibility at all," Boss Luo seemed very unhappy, "You just casually treat your little one—"

"dad!!!"

"I really gave birth to a white-eyed wolf!" Boss Luo crossed his arms angrily, "Forget it, your wings are stiff, and I can't control you anymore. Anyway, let's talk about money first..."

Yi Zhongming gave Fang Quan a wink, and he immediately picked up the pen to enter the final agreement recording state.

*******************************************************************************

"I really admire you!"

After working all afternoon, everyone returned to the courtyard and everyone hadn't finished get off work yet. After listening to Yi Zhongming's report, Chief Judge Gong was not only not happy, but became furious.

"It's fine if Xiao Fang doesn't understand, why do you, who have been working for several years, fool around with him?" The judge stood up with his hips akimbo, obviously she was not tall, but her aura always made Fang Quan feel that she was inferior, "How can you encourage the parties to speak out about that kind of thing? Where did you put the judge's position?!"

"Aiya, President, you are making a fuss over a molehill. This is mediation, not a formal court session. How can there be so many positions and rules?" Yi Zhongming calmly returned to his seat and sat down, "Besides, everything is fine in the end. OK, isn't it?"

"Heh, your attitude towards your superiors is still so bad, but your behavior is farther away from a qualified judge. Is this your 'growth' as ​​a trial assistant?" The judge turned to Fang Quan, "Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang, I didn't expect Your influence is so far-reaching, you will work here for three to five years, can this first-class court survive?!"

"Well, actually..."

Now is the so-called right time...?

Very good, seize the opportunity, or you will have to wait for the next time!

"Actually, I have been preparing for this year's postgraduate entrance examination...so, I want to resign from here...."
