Tacitus in love, Plato in trap

This was probably Yi Zhongming's most anxious night in the past four years.

Whether it was the night before the first trial, or the night when he learned that the appeal case had been changed, he had never been so disturbed.

Leaving early was clearly not the reason.Anyway, there is no need to check in in the court, and the president of the court has gone to the court again. As long as the guard Lao Wang does not speak, he will not be exposed.

Didn't bring the case back to write?There may be some reason for this.Since he became an assistant judge, he has spent almost every long night and even weekends and holidays writing judgments endlessly.He left in a hurry in the afternoon and didn't bring back a single case, so he was in a state of doing nothing after dinner.Although there is still an option to go to the old place to have some fun, but he can't arouse that interest at all.It's all because of Fang Quan...

... Ah, yes, Fang Quan is all to blame, it's all that kid's fault!

I have to admit that I panicked when I heard the word "homosexual" from his mouth, and what happened after that was as vague as a dream.Although he restrained his physical desires at the time, he seemed to have done a lot of things he shouldn't do and said a lot of things he shouldn't have said under impulse.

Physical injury is truly fatal, and Yi Zhongming is terrified just thinking about it; in comparison, verbal injury does not directly kill people, but has a more profound impact: yesterday he said no to If it hurts less, some of these are truths that have been held back for a long time, and some are just...

Yi Zhongming turned over and faced the ceiling.

"...Anyway, that kid is a fish, so he definitely won't remember... He will definitely forget... He definitely didn't take it to heart—ah no, we can't all take it to heart, he should always remember the things that are good for him Bar……"

Self-deception.Yi Zhongming himself knew it without anyone reminding him.

I don’t know when it started, it became his habit to deceive himself: for example, he doesn’t care about his sexual orientation, for example, he has grown into a mature judge who will not be easily shaken, and for example, yesterday he said to Fang Quan of those things...

Sighing, Yi Zhongming turned over again, facing the direction of the window.The summer sun rises really early, it's only five o'clock, and the sky outside the window has already turned white.After dawn, I have to go to work, and if I go to work, I have to see Fang Quan again.Such a thing happened yesterday, can I still face him with my usual expression?

Cut, I'm already busy with work, so I still have time to take care of him?As the judge who is directly responsible for that kid, it is enough to show a working attitude when working.No matter whether Fang Quan is the same kind or not, no matter whether he has any connection with Fang Quan in the past, work is work, as long as that kid can do the job well...

...Well, it seems that this is the only thing that can't be done...

Thinking of Fang Quan's work problems, Yi Zhongming suddenly became angry again: yesterday's appeal file and court session, he forgot to contact the plaintiff to get the verdict a few days ago, last week...

In all fairness, these problems are not completely regarded as Fang Quan's lack of ability. The key is not seeking improvement in attitude, psychological quality and other aspects.To be honest, if Fang Quan didn't realize this problem himself, then even gods and Buddhas wouldn't be able to keep him.

Fortunately, he made this kind of deal specially for Fang Quan at that time...

"Tsk, what did this kid eat all these years to become this virtuous?!" Yi Zhongming put his upper arm in front of his eyes to block the annoying light, "Really...you can't do it without teaching him a lesson! "

After rolling on the bed for a while, angry and regretful, Yi Zhongming got up before the alarm clock rang.He finished his breakfast slowly, prepared the ingredients for dinner slowly, and rode slowly to the court, and it was only after 07:30.When passing by the reception room, Yi Zhongming took a special look inside, the bedding was neatly folded.It seems that Fang Quan has already got up and went out to buy breakfast.

"...It's rare to see him work hard..." Yi Zhongming shrugged, walked slowly to the door of his office, and took out the key to open the door.

...Can't open it?

This kind of old-fashioned door does not have a built-in lock, so even if it is locked inside, it can be opened theoretically with a key.unless--

"Hey! Could it be that Fang Quan did something to my /door/door?!"

After trying a few times, Yi Zhongming angrily pulled out the key and paced back and forth outside the office impatiently.He got up early and tampered with the door. It seems that yesterday's incident did have a negative impact on Fang Quan. We will meet later, or...

"call--"

"???" Hearing a thunderous snoring from the office, Yi Zhongming stopped in astonishment.

Was that...could it be...?

After pasting the door panel, Yi Zhongming frowned and listened carefully.There was heavy breathing.The sound really came from here.

Moreover, that kind of purring sound is probably only made by men...?

The locked office door, the man's snoring, Fang Quan who woke up extra early...

A chill suddenly crawled up Yi Zhongming's back.

In case, no, it's not sure, no, no, it's very possible, this door has never been opened since he slammed the door and left yesterday afternoon, and Fang Quan is very likely...

"So there are so many demolitions in the jurisdiction, why it's not the turn of our old antique dilapidated house!"

If you take a step back, you will stick to the wall, even so, Yi Zhongming still tries to concentrate on his right leg——

boom!

There was a creak on the top of the wooden door panel, but the place where the door lock was connected remained motionless.

"Hey, Fang Quan!" Yi Zhongming shouted while continuing to kick the door, "Get up!"

"Sin!!" The judge finally arrived, and when she saw Yi Zhongming kicking the door aggressively there, she ran over quickly on her high heels, "Xiao Yi, what's wrong with your door this early in the morning?" of?! If the kick is broken, the yard—”

"I don't care what the compensation is in the courtyard!" Yi Zhongming raised his foot and kicked the door lock, "Life is at stake here!"

"Human life is at stake??? Wait! Could it be——or call a master lockpicker???"

"That's too late!"

boom!

"—and no more."

Pushing open the somewhat deformed door panel, Yi Zhongming walked into the office in a panic.The person in the office is indeed Fang Quan. He is still wearing the uniform he wore during the court session yesterday, rubbing his eyes and getting up from the table. He seems to have just woken up.

"I always felt like I had a very noisy dream—oh, Yi Zhong...Judge Yi!" Fang Quan stood up abruptly, "Reporting to Judge Yi, a total of 32 case files were cleaned up and the covers were printed during the confinement period yesterday." , the drilling electric drill is not in this office, so it has not been bound yet; and there are still 5 books that are not cleared in some places, and you have to go through them first. Then, although I have not opened the beginning of the court transcript for the case that will be held recently, I have I read it all carefully, the case file is here, you can pick one at random, and I can repeat it to you in detail from the aspects of the indictment, the statement of defense, the evidence, and the key points. And then—"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to report one by one." The chief judge waved Fang Quan to stop, and then turned to Yi Zhongming, who was also covered in circles, "Xiao Fang just said 'closed confinement', you just now You also said something like 'human life is at stake', what's the situation? What did you guys do after I went to the courtyard yesterday?!"

"I'm sorry, President," Yi Zhongming took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses, "I have something to say to Fang Quan alone, and I will report to you after we have clarified the matter, okay ?"

After sending away the suspicious-looking chief judge, Yi Zhongming closed the door that could no longer be closed tightly, and turned to Fang Quan——no supper, high-intensity work, and not lying down to sleep properly, the boy's expression It looked pale.Realizing that Fang Quan was also looking this way, Yi Zhongming quickly turned his head and sat back in his seat.

"Say, what's going on here?"

"What's the situation?" Fang Quan tilted his head slightly, "After being locked in the office by you, you realized your mistake and worked hard?"

"What do you mean 'locked up in my office'?!" Fang Quan was as annoying as ever, "No matter what I do, I won't do something that is suspected of being illegally detained!"

"But you were very angry yesterday," said "you" and "you", did this kid intentionally disgust him, "After all, you did even attempted murder, insult and... that kind of thing... so I have every reason to believe that you will also place me in detention."

"There is a good reason for that! Don't you look at the antiques of which dynasty the doors of our courtroom are!" Yi Zhongming rolled his eyes, "If this happens, you need to call for help, do you know? There is no phone, Lao Wang will come up to check after work, right? If you tell him, you won’t be trapped until now!”

"I have the mobile phone, and Lao Wang also came up to ask," Fang Quan said with a calm face, "but I didn't call, nor did I ask Lao Wang for help."

"Huh? Why?!"

"Because I chose to put myself in confinement." Fang Quan turned his face, not knowing what his expression was, "I just said that you were very angry yesterday, so I took this opportunity to reflect on myself. Behavior, and then an overtime class by the way, that's all."

"Ah..." Yi Zhongming sighed heavily, then walked to the window and looked out the window.

Things didn't develop in the worst way I expected, but the current situation is definitely not satisfactory, not to mention the fact that he has unintentionally caused damage.

...the result is still causing damage...

Since that is the case...

"What happened yesterday... I'm sorry... I left you with bad memories..." Yi Zhongming stared at a little ant crawling around the window frame, "The door was an accident, except In addition, what I did and said to you yesterday was excessive, and I need to review you deeply. At the beginning of yesterday, I just wanted to give you a certain degree of education, but the result was far from It's beyond the scope of 'education'. My education method, as I said before, and you have also experienced it. To put it bluntly, it is 'remember with your body'. To put it bluntly, it is moderate corporal punishment. Yesterday's kind is not 'moderate corporal punishment' ', it was the loss of my personal emotions and the violation of your personal rights. Although I can’t remember the thoughts in my mind at that time, I have a very clear understanding of the external behavior—as an adult People, even if they are angry, can’t act impulsively like that, hurting the body and dignity of others. The judge is right, I am always impatient, and once I am impatient, the result is... so I will treat you in the future You will pay more attention to this aspect in your education. You also said that you have been introspecting and have done a lot of work, so if we work together, this kind of thing will probably not happen again in the future..."

...Say it out...

I also said a lot...

But it was all nonsense.The key question is not touched at all, I basically just said a meaning upside down, the content is very empty, if this is put in the time of studying and playing debates, I guess I will be booed by my teammates and the audience, right? !

"Is this... an apology?"

After a long time, Fang Quan asked suspiciously.

"You!" Feeling that all his hard work was in vain, Yi Zhongming turned around angrily, "Isn't this an apology?! This isn't an apology. You gave him a name?!"

"Are you really apologizing? It doesn't sound like it..."

Couldn't get past it.This kid is surprisingly not slow at this time!

"If this is an apology, then I don't accept it." Fang Quan raised his head with firm eyes.

"Varied--"

Sure enough, just dealing with the parties cannot comprehensively improve one's interpersonal communication skills!

"Not only will I not accept your apology, but I will remember what you did and said to me yesterday!"

"!!!"

"I did reflect on myself yesterday, but Yi Da/Judge, you seem to have misunderstood the content of my reflection." Fang Quan took a step in Yi Zhongming's direction and lowered his eyes, "I am always lacking in doing things. Coordination ability, once you are doing one thing, you will ignore other things at hand, so you often lose sight of the other, and even forget the purpose of doing the thing at hand." For some reason, Fang Quan, who suddenly started talking about his own story, let Yi Zhongming Somewhat surprised, "For example, I am busy with you every day, but I have forgotten the reason why I chose this job."

Yi Zhongming frowned and continued to listen to Fang Quan.

"I've always wanted to be a judge, but I'm not a graduate student, and I can't get into the positions that courts offer to undergraduates. It just so happened that the Court of Erbing District, where I had practiced before, had the opportunity of being a stenographer. I thought I could be a judge. It's also a good transition job if you come to learn at a close distance, of course, as you can see, I quickly get lost in the trivial daily affairs, and I don't do anything well. Those things happened yesterday," Fang Quan paused, as if trying to calm down his emotions, "I almost wanted to resign, but I remembered, I came here to be a judge in the future! And in order to be a judge, I have to be closer and longer and to study these matters closely and for a long time, I must stay; in order to stay, I must satisfy you; in order to satisfy you, I must do all the work at hand. good."

Not bad, not bad, as expected, he came from a major, and his logical thinking ability is fairly passable.Yi Zhongming crossed his arms and continued to listen to Fang Quan.

"The coordination ability can't be improved in a short time. Apart from taking notes and other methods, I can only rely on time to pile up. I tried it last night and the effect is really good. Anyway, this door was also broken by you. , it will be convenient for me to come in and work overtime in the future." Fang Quan smiled smugly, "In this way, you won't say that I can't do anything well, so arrange me to practice/police!"

"Oh, that's right." Yi Zhongming nodded, "It's a blessing for you, me, and the entire court that you have such awareness. But I still don't understand, your introspection and your refusal to accept What does my apology have to do with it?"

"It has a lot to do with it! Since I want to be a judge, I must be a good and competent judge, and you—" Fang Quan stretched out a hand, pointing at Yi Zhongming's nose, "will become a classic negative teaching material !"

"Huh?" Yi Zhongming raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, I will still do the tasks you entrusted to me honestly; I will endure what you do to me as long as I can guarantee that I can still live. But at the same time, no matter whether it is official or private , as long as you have done, I will remember them firmly: remember those public affairs you did not do well, in order to prevent the same situation from happening to me when I become a judge in the future; remember your dirty private affairs, It is to let me not forget the hatred for you—although this will not help my future work, but it can remind me to pay attention to the cultivation of my own character. All in all, in order to expose all your ugly faces, no matter what How much you hate me, no matter how wronged or difficult, from now on, I will follow you closely like a dog's skin plaster, and be a capable clerk that you can't dismiss easily!"

"Oh, I really have you." Yi Zhongming couldn't help laughing, "'Follow closely'? Are you sure you want to do this? Are you afraid that I will beat you, scold you, pinch you or even... violate you ?”

Hearing Yi Zhongming throw out words that the two of them had avoided talking about, Fang Quan's face turned red instantly, but he still tried to maintain a serious face: "Judge Yi, Judge Yi is a judge of the civil court, and probably doesn't know about the criminal law of the Ninth High School. The targets of coercive WX and insult crimes now include men, right? If the same thing happens again, I will definitely leave evidence!"

...Fang Quan is really interesting...

"Don't worry, whether you accept it or not, since I have apologized, I have fully realized my inappropriate behavior. As a responsible adult, of course I will not make the same mistake again." Yi Zhongming tilted his mouth , walked to Fang Quan's side, reached out and ruffled his hair, "Besides, you are a precious clerk, how could I let you be wronged twice?"

"Ugh, faggot don't touch me!!!"

Although the introspection is only half-hearted, but if Fang Quan really improves from now on, then yesterday's, no, including the previous things, are all as Fang Quan himself said, so it's okay to let them pass.

If the president of the judge talks about this kid, he should insist on keeping him...

"Ah, by the way," Fang Quan said as he straightened his hair touched by Yi Zhongming, "Didn't you be locked up here yesterday? So you couldn't go to the bathroom, and then you said 'Sprinkle Pee and take care of yourself' or something, so I pissed on the floor..."

"Hey!!!!!"

"Don't worry, it's already been done. And it's not clear at all! Where did the person who invented this slang pee?!"

"I don't care where he pissed!!! Where you pissed, take a mop and mop it up!!!"

... The matter of keeping him, as expected, you should think about it again! ! !
