Chapter 472 The Fragrance of Chocolate
The mountains are filled with thick fog and the humidity is heavy. When the sun is not out, I feel a biting cold.
However, although the air was damp and cold, Lin Jie still got up early in the morning, put on his judge's robe, and tidied up his appearance.
Because he now represents the image of the state's public power, he must make himself look energetic. Wash your face with cold water to revive your spirit.
Stepping out of the door, he started to get busy. The first is to set up the temporary court.
This is not difficult, anyway, the national emblem was tied up yesterday, as long as there are two desks under the national emblem, put the hammer and the prepared materials. A simple circuit court would have been done.
When going out, everything must be kept simple, but the national emblem and judges' attire are meticulous.
The place where the circuit court is located is the former brigade commune in Luojia Village. All the villagers in Luojia Village knew that the circuit court was going to start the trial of Luo Jiayou's case today, so many people came early.
Because they are used to working in the city, many migrant workers feel a little uncomfortable when they suddenly return to the countryside.
In the countryside, you can't use Douyin, and you can't watch Kuaishou. For many migrant workers who go out to work, staying in the village is also very boring. The only recreational activities are probably eating, drinking and playing mahjong.
Playing mahjong and eating and drinking always cost money. Watching the trial of the circuit court is free for entertainment, and everyone should go to the temple fair to join in the fun.
And among these people who came to join in the fun, many of them were called by Luo Jiayou's father. Because he knew that Luo Zhong's mother, Wang Meihua, would definitely not let it go.
Wang Meihua is used to being aggressive, and I heard that she went back to her natal home to ask his brothers for help. She was afraid that her brothers would interfere in this matter.
But the world is always afraid of what to come. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Murphy's Law.
At 9:30 in the morning, more than 100 villagers came to Wangjiazhai. These people were all summoned by Wang Meihua's elder brother.
Wang Meihua herself is a contractor, and she can be regarded as a rich man in ten miles and eight towns. Wangjiazhai is also much better developed than Luojia Village.
At least the road from Wangjiazhai leads to the gate of their village. There are more than 2,000 people in Wangjiazhai who have given face to the boss of the Wang family.
Because many fellow villagers were taken out by the boss of the Wang family to do projects. The boss of the Wang family can always attract dozens of people casually. What's more, this time he paid 50 yuan per person, and he also included dinner and drinks.
During the Spring Festival, a lot of migrant workers are idle in the village, because there are too few entertainment programs in the countryside, and now they can earn 50 yuan, and even manage a banquet at night, so naturally they have to come out.
In fact, there are more people who want to come, but the boss of the Wang family thinks that 100 people are enough. If the scale of two or three hundred people is too large, the most important thing is that the reward fee of 50 yuan per person is not enough. few.
Although as a small contractor, he can still earn two to three hundred thousand a year. However, it cost more than 10,000 yuan to hire someone to help stand on the stage, which is a bit too much.
Even if it is necessary to help the nephew, but his own money is not just for nothing.
The old branch secretary of Luojia Village saw that more than 100 people from Wangjiazhai came to Luojia Village with poles and sticks, and knew that something must be wrong.
The old party secretary immediately organized the young and strong, and stopped these people at the entrance of the village.
"What are you doing!" Lao Zishu was in good spirits despite his age. The hand holding the Han cigarette bag did not tremble, and the words he shouted were full of air.
"It's the old branch secretary." The boss of the Luo family said to the old branch secretary seemingly very politely: "What can we do? We are here today to hear the trial."
"The plaintiff is my sister, and the one who was beaten was my nephew. I have to come here no matter whether I am an elder brother or an uncle."
Although what he said seemed polite. But he brought so many people, the old branch secretary didn't think they were being polite.
"If you want to come to listen, then you can come by yourself. What does it mean to bring so many people?"
"Well, I didn't bring these. These are from my hometown. Xiaozhong often went to Wangjiazhai to play when he was young. These are brothers and uncles who watched Xiaozhong grow up. They also care about Xiaozhong and want to Let’s see if the circuit court can judge this case fairly. Actually, I just said, it’s so troublesome to come here to try the case. Your village doesn’t have any roads. We drove three hours on the mountain road early in the morning. .The circuit court should be located in our Wangjiazhai, in that case the judge can drive there directly."
"Then those of us who want to listen don't have to work so hard and the judge is not so tired, right?" The words of the boss of the Wang family made many people who came with him echo in unison.
But the old branch secretary can see that if the circuit court is really allowed to try the case in Wangjiazhai, then the Luo family will not be sentenced heavily, and the judges of the circuit court will not even think about getting out of Wangjiazhai.
Villagers who have never read any books are sometimes very simple, but sometimes they are very unreasonable. They are also good, and they are also evil.
If these more than 100 people are allowed to come in now, if the judgment of the circuit court does not meet the psychological expectations of the boss of the Wang family and Wang Meihua, they will definitely encourage more than 100 people to make trouble.
The old party secretary is over 60 years old, and he has been the village party secretary for so many years. He has dealt with many people in the villages in the town and outside the village.
He also knows what kind of mentality those who are officials often have now. Stability is the most important thing.
If it is true, more than 100 people will make a fuss here. Let's not talk about whether Luojia Village is afraid of them, but Lin Jie of the circuit court must consider not to let the conflict expand. Otherwise, it is a mistake in his work.
Once he has such an idea, his judgment may not be so fair, and no one knows what the final reconciliation will be. I don't know what kind of verdict Luo Jiayou will receive.
As the leader of Luojia Village, the old branch secretary still favors Luojiayou. To say something he shouldn't have said, he himself felt that Luo Zhong deserved the beating, but he couldn't say that. Otherwise it would be unfair.
The most important thing now is that these more than 100 people cannot be allowed to enter the village directly.
"Observation is fine, but there aren't that many places in the circuit court. You can go in for a dozen or twenty. It won't fit more than 100 people, so let's go back first."
"Old party secretary, what you said is not decent. We walked the mountain road for more than three hours just to attend the court case. If you tell us to go back, we will go back? How can there be such a reason?"
Before the circuit court could hear the case, the relationship between the villagers of Luojia Village and Wangjiazhai was already very tense, and it seemed that the conflict was imminent.
"Why are you arguing?!" Suddenly, a heavy pressure fell on these people who were arguing. Everyone seemed to be carrying 50 kilograms of cement, and suddenly felt their bodies sink.
Jiang Hua, who was wearing a uniform representing the state's public power, shot at the people present majesticly: "It's okay to observe, but no trouble is allowed."
As he spoke, Jiang Hua removed the gravity from everyone's body, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
The boss of the Wang family swallowed his saliva, and found that today's matter was not as simple as he thought.
Jiang Hua, on the other hand, was a little worried. It seemed that if Lin Jie didn't handle this well, it might really turn into a collective conflict.
Although I have not personally participated in it, I also know from some internal textbooks that many times, villagers in the mountains will fight between two villages because of quarrels, water sources, electric wires, and even the ownership of a chicken.
Maybe it was just a fight between a few or a dozen people at the beginning, but it may develop into a fight between hundreds of people in the village. And if the scale develops like this, it will be impossible to suppress it.
No wonder Lin Xiao said that her eyelids were twitching. Lin Jie's case was indeed not easy.
No wonder he found himself before and asked himself to quietly remind Luo Jiayou. This matter is best mediated out of court rather than actually entering the legal trial process.
It sounds like another reconciliation, but in fact it is really not easy to reconcile this muddle.
Although I can temporarily suppress the problems between them. But it doesn't mean that he can keep suppressing it, after all, he only stays here for one day, but he will leave at night. It would be best for Lin Jie's method to take effect and let the two groups mediate out of court, but seeing the aggressive appearance of the boss of the Wang family, it may be difficult for him to calm down and listen to the mediation.
Jiang Hua thought a lot. But after thinking about it, she was seduced by a strong chocolate scent in the air.
Damn Zhang Tong! Knowing I can't eat hot chocolate and still making so much. Look back at Shuangqing, how can I deal with you!
