$239, I Want to Be a Good Person 12

If this witness who had never seen anything before and the driving recorder he brought had a shocking effect on Fu Daidi and others, the witness who appeared later simply crushed Fu Daidi and others to death. The last straw.

Mrs. Xu, Fu Daidi's old neighbor and old sister, is also the old mother of the fat, middle-aged man who testified for her this time. The other party actually appeared in the court as Yan Chu's witness.

After learning the identity of the other party, not only the people in the gallery, but also the judge couldn't help but be surprised.

The son and mother testified for the plaintiff and defendant respectively. So, one of them must have perjured himself?

"That day, my son came back driving the newly bought car at home. Zhang Baozhu happened to be at home, so he forced my son to sit in the driver's seat and have a good time. At that time, we agreed that we would only drive slowly in a small alley to have a good time. Who knew? When they were driving outside Zhang's yard, Fu Daidi came down from the stairs and was hit by a car while standing in the blind spot. Although the car was going slowly, her bones were injured."

Mrs. Xu is not young, but her thinking is still clear.

These days, she was tortured by nightmares. The old lady was originally a superstitious person. She had done something wrong. In her dream, she dreamed that she would be thrown into a frying pan or go up a mountain of knives because of committing such a big sin. The kind of tearing... The pain of splitting her heart and lungs is still vivid in her mind. Not long ago, she went to the temple to burn incense and wanted to buy some sesame oil money to atone for her and her son's sins. When she came out of the temple, she met the words of the very effective master. It made her decide.

Now she and her son are guilty of great sins, and they must wash away their sins before they die. This is something she has struggled with for a long time, and finally stood up at the last moment.

"Because Zhang Baozhu was panicked at the time and didn't want to take this responsibility, so he came up with this trick and asked Mrs. Fu to go to the newly built road not far from Chengzhong Village and where there were not many vehicles. My son was kind-hearted, so That’s why I perjured myself.”

Mrs. Xu's words were embellished. In fact, her son could easily agree to help Fu Daidi perjury, just to get rid of his own responsibility.

The situation in which he borrowed a car was different from that of Yan Chu. Zhang Baozhu did not have a driver's license. In this case, he lent the car to Zhang Baozhu and a car accident occurred. He was also the person responsible for the accident and needed to bear compensation.

At that time, Zhang Baozhu didn't know this. Just seeing that he had injured his mother was so frightening that he was so frightened that all bad ideas came out of his mind.

In fact, after hearing about the case committed by Lin Fushou and others, he already regretted it. If he had bitten Mrs. Xu's son to death, he would not be in trouble now.

"Defendant witness, do you have evidence to support your testimony?"

Lawyer Jiang endured the anger in his heart and exercised his legitimate legal rights.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Mrs. Xu nodded. She was here to atone for her sins. How could she be insincere? What if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thought she had done no good and sent her to the eighteenth level of hell.

"My son's car was scratched when he hit Fu Daidi. Because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he still parked it in the garage without sending it to be repaired. Aren't you police very capable? Compare the scratches on the wall outside Zhang's building. That’s it.”

Mrs. Xu said without thinking that she had heard these words from Yan Chu's lawyer, and she had learned and applied them: "Also, Zhang Baozhu, this is not a thing, I don't know where I heard about a car." Mainly responsible for the trouble caused by the car borrower, he extorted 20,000 yuan from my son. The money was still my pension money. I took it from my social security account and transferred it to Zhang Baozhu's card. "

Lawyer Jiang glared hard at Zhang Baozhu, who felt guilty. He felt helpless in his heart. He thought that this case was all over and he couldn't bear to have a pig teammate who kept holding him back.

In fact, when these two witnesses and the evidence they carried appeared, everything was already clear. What is right and what is wrong, anyone with eyes and the ability to distinguish right from wrong should understand clearly.

Usually such cases will not be closed on the spot. There will be a period of time to add evidence and wait for the next court session.

But by the time they left the court, everyone had already concluded the outcome of the case.

Because of the popularity of this case, today's auditorium was packed. As soon as the trial ended, every scene that happened in the court appeared in detail on the Internet. I don't know who was bold enough to secretly film the video of the trial. It was uploaded to the largest video website and received over 10 million views overnight.

I used to sympathize with Fu Daidi, a kind-faced old lady, and feel sorry for Zhang Baozhu, a filial and good son, but now netizens' faces feel so painful.

This case is no longer just an ordinary case of helping an elderly person who was falsely accused. From beginning to end, it was a premeditated and planned "pandemic" that completely ruined today's society and left little conscience.

Perhaps because they were scolded too harshly, netizens now can't even say an apology and can only express their attitude in silence.

****

"sorry."

The middle-aged man who had just testified for Yan Chu in court struggled for a long time and walked up to Yan Chu and said to him.

Before, he was not prepared to get involved in this muddy water. He was just an ordinary company employee. He and his wife carefully raised a daughter. They had decades of mortgages and car loans. Occasionally, they could not make ends meet. Not only could they not honor their parents, but they also needed subsidies from the elderly.

In this situation, any twists and turns were not affordable for men.

He was afraid of provoking people like Zhang Baozhu, which would cause him to lose his job. He was also afraid that because of his so-called sense of justice, he would eventually harm his daughter. After all, you can't guarantee what kind of means such a person without bottom line would use.

If it weren't for the anonymous email he received in his mailbox a few days ago and the 100,000 yuan that appeared inexplicably at his doorstep, he might not have come to be the witness.

You can call him selfish, but in today's society, they prefer to call themselves rational.

The man didn't know how the person who sent the email to him knew that he had a dashcam video of Mrs. Fu falling to the ground. There is no privacy in today's society. He panicked for a while and let it go.

What moved him was the 100,000 yuan. His daughter was about to go to junior high school. She couldn't get into a good public school, and the tuition for private schools was high. With the 100,000 yuan, at least he could ensure that the family's expenses would not be so tight for the next three years. So even though he knew that testifying would offend people, he still came.

I don't know why, in the witness stand, looking at Yan Chu's cold eyes, he actually felt inexplicably ashamed, especially after learning that the hit-and-run was the result of the Zhang family's careful planning.

He couldn't help but start to think, if it was his daughter who encountered this, what would he feel as a parent.

He couldn't help but start to think, as a father of a child, if he didn't stand up today, if there was no 100,000 yuan, a young man who did good things but was falsely accused was convicted like this, would this sense of guilt haunt him for the rest of his life? Is he really worthy of being a father of a child? What qualifications does he have to educate his daughter?

In life, besides living, there should always be something else to pursue, but they are all numb.

"I will pay you back that money."

The 100,000 yuan was either given by Yan Chu or by someone around him. The man felt that he was not qualified to accept the 100,000 yuan.

After saying this, the original sense of guilt disappeared for the most part, and he felt that he had freed himself.

*****

After Fu Daidi's case came to a temporary end, the next case to be heard was that of Xu Shufen and others.

In this case, Yan Chu was the plaintiff, and he sued Xu Shufen and others for extortion, defamation, insult and other crimes.

In court, Xu Shufen bit Du Juan and others that she knew her son Yan Tian had a history of drunk driving, in order to prove Yan Chu's negligence in borrowing the car. If this was established, the various charges filed by Yan Chu would naturally not be established.

In contrast, Yan Chu took out several recordings and other auxiliary evidence.

The first recording was recorded on the day when Yan Tian had a car accident. The background sound was a bit noisy, and it could be heard that Xu Shufen was talking to her son on the phone during the interval of square dancing.

During the call, Xu Shufen's voice was a little sharp, questioning her son whether he was driving after drinking. Because the broadcast volume of the square dance was a little loud, some of the conversations were not clear. At the end of the recording, Xu Shufen ended with a high-pitched "son".

Based on the recording time, combined with the autopsy report of Yan Tian and others, it is estimated that Yan Tian was driving after drinking and talking to Xu Shufen while driving, which was a double violation and caused the car accident.

As the last person to talk to Yan Tian after the incident, Xu Shufen herself should have known this, but she said nothing.

The second recording is a phone recording between Du Juan and Xu Shufen.

Before, Yan Chu had just returned from a business trip, and Du Juan called Xu Shufen on time. At that time, Xu Shufen thought that Du Juan was worried about her family's new car and was stingy and didn't want to lend it to her son. Therefore, she made all kinds of good promises on the phone. In the short four or five-minute recording, she had promised Du Juan countless times that her son drove carefully and never drove under the influence, and promised to return his car safely. This recording also indirectly confirmed that Yan Yinsheng's family did not know that Yan Tian had a history of driving under the influence.

In court, as long as the recording is not obtained by wiretapping, coercion, etc., it can be used as evidence. However, due to the limitations of the recording itself, it is difficult to make it a complete piece of evidence, and other auxiliary evidence is often required.

Therefore, the first recording was accompanied by a video shot by someone in the square that day. In the video, the scenes at Xu Shufen's location were clearly captured, and the video screen was aimed at her front. The authenticity of the recording can be completely proved by her mouth shape in the video.

Of course, the recording was also obtained legally. At that time, a band was preparing to record their own songs there, and recording the conversation between Xu Shufen and her son in it was purely coincidental.

In addition, Lin Fushou and others had once made a big fuss about the Yan family and Yan Chu's company, as well as their home video recordings threatening Yan Chu to pay huge compensation, all of which were presented as evidence.

Seeing the thick pile of evidence, Lin Fushou and others couldn't help but feel scared. Where did the other party get so much evidence? Forget about the evidence later. For example, the last phone call between Xu Shufen and her son, how could it be so coincidental that someone took a video and someone recorded it. It was so coincidental that all those people were found by Yan Chu.

Of course, no one thought that this was planned in advance by Yan Chu. He was not a prophet. Could it be that he knew that his cousin would have a car accident that night, and knew that his aunt would push him out later to clear herself of the relationship?

Isn't this a daydream?

Therefore, except for Xu Shufen and others, everyone present sighed in their hearts, is this the so-called justice of heaven?

*****

After removing the two most difficult cases, other trivial online defamation and insult cases were just a small matter for those famous lawyers. At most, it would take some time. Their assistants alone were enough to complete these cases.

This sensational online farce lasted for four months from the beginning to the end. In addition to the large number of people involved, it was also inseparable from the complicated judicial procedures today.

Without exception, Yan Chu won every case.

Fu Daidi was convicted of attempted extortion and only needed administrative punishment. Because she was over 70 years old, she was exempted from administrative punishment for public security. Zhang Baozhu was sentenced to two months in prison, a fine of 5,000 yuan, and compensation for Yan Chu's mental damages of 20,000 yuan.

The worst was the son of Mrs. Xu, who was sentenced to three months for perjury, which was higher than the two culprits Fu Daidi and Zhang Baozhu.

As for Xu Shufen and others, their crimes were lighter than those of Zhang Baozhu and others. As Lawyer Jiang said before, they extorted money but did not receive any money. At most, it was an attempted extortion. The sentencing in the law was not high. In addition to the leaders such as Xu Shufen and Lin Fushou who were sentenced to six months in prison and fined, the other accomplices were sentenced to two months and one month respectively. There were even some smart families who called the elderly in their families when they made trouble. Now, like Fu Daidi, they were exempted from all punishments.

It seems that the law has lightened their punishment, but in fact, this is the effect that Yan Chu wanted. At least, as he expected, the online public opinion exploded.

Originally, this was a case that attracted a lot of attention, not to mention the netizens who were caught up in the wave of online wars at that time. After half a year of fermentation, a case was sentenced from time to time, and the news about Yan Chu never left the public's sight. In the end, as long as they were not out of touch with society, they knew about such a case, including many law majors, who used this case as a case and mentioned it in class.

How many people on the Internet misunderstood Yan Chu at the beginning, and how many people now feel guilty, especially after the truth came out, netizens who realized that they were deceived by Fu Daidi and others wanted to make them explode on the spot every minute.

They had been looking forward to the trial for so long, just to see the ending of those people, but the result was good, such a light punishment was passed, and some were even worse than those sentenced for online defamation.

You know, thousands of online defamation cases were involved in other cases because of the defendant's identity as a professional water army. The highest sentence reached the maximum sentence stipulated in this type of punishment and was sentenced to a full three years.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Originally, in their opinion, Fu Daidi and others should be punished more severely, so as to warn those who have the same idea as them.

And the current result obviously did not meet everyone's expectations.

However, the law stipulates that, and it is definitely not as simple as public opinion to change the legislative rules of a country.

*****

The case is over, but the influence he brought is far more than that.

Yan Chu invested nearly 20 million yuan in this case, but because he was good at stock trading, his current wealth was far more than that. He took out 10 million yuan in his name to help those good people who were also falsely accused of doing good things but were unable to refute. Similarly, this money was also used to subsidize ordinary people who suffered from school violence and cyber violence. As long as they are willing, they can get help at any time to defend their rights.

Although the law may not necessarily give you the best protection and cannot let bad people get the punishment they deserve, at least this is an attitude. Yan Chu wants to tell everyone that doing good things is right, and being violated should also be brave to resist.

Perhaps the current laws are not sound, and the improvement of the judiciary also requires a long period of time, but who knows whether their current efforts will accelerate this process.

At first, no one dared to stand up until a little girl appeared in the charity foundation established by Yan Chu holding her father's portrait.

She came here secretly. Her father was blackmailed by the old man he helped because of doing good deeds. Because he could not bear the harassment of the old man's relatives, he also did not want to drag his family down. With endless grievances, he jumped into the river and committed suicide.

However, those who forced her father to death had no guilt at all and still forced those who were still alive to demand huge compensation.

The girl didn't believe that her father would be the villain who dared to do things but not take responsibility as those evil people who smashed their house said. She didn't want her father to die in an unclear way. Even if there was only a little hope, she still skipped class and came here quietly.

This case was the first case accepted by the foundation. Because it happened a long time ago, it was very difficult to collect evidence, but the result was good. They finally found a tourist who witnessed the incident. The tourist did not know what happened afterwards and only thought it was an episode during the trip. He regretted that he had killed a person because of his carelessness.

Because of the appearance of the tourist, more and more bystanders who were afraid of the scoundrel and viciousness of the family stood up.

The man who died in vain finally got the belated justice.

Gradually, more and more people began to trust this foundation that suddenly emerged, because more and more cases were posted on the foundation's website. Seeing the tragic end of those who did good deeds, the bystanders who used to be a member of the prudent self-protection could not help but start to reflect on whether their original behavior was correct.

It is true that the redress of every case cannot be successful, and the judgment of the law on the evil is often unsatisfactory.

But everyone sees a bright future. I believe that in the near future, the law will hear their voices and become more perfect, so that the evil will not dare to do evil and the good will be safe.

*****

Fu Daidi lost the case. Although she didn't go to jail because of her age, her fate was not much better.

Because Zhang Baozhu was sentenced, her daughter-in-law resented her and drove her out of the house. The other children were ashamed of her because of her bad reputation. If she hadn't gone to court, they would probably not even be willing to give her the lowest alimony.

Because there was not enough medical expenses, Fu Daidi's injured leg was not well maintained. In her later years, the pain in her legs and feet accompanied her for the rest of her life.

Yan Chu founded a foundation and was respected in China. In contrast, she, who had tried to frame him, was despised.

She wanted to pick up garbage and was excluded. She wanted to beg, but as long as she showed her face, she would only get spit and stones and mud on the ground.

Fu Daidi thought that the ending of her dream was already a nightmare, but she didn't expect that the reality she really experienced was more frightening than a nightmare.

Later, Fu Daidi closed her eyes in hunger and cold, enduring the pain in her legs and feet. When she died, she asked herself, was she wrong?

In addition to Fu Daidi, the rest of the Zhang family was also not doing well. They all participated in the original incident. Except for hiding in the ravines, as long as they walked on the road, there would always be people who could recognize them. Their careers were frustrated and they were despised in life. The brothers and sisters of the Zhang family all had mediocre development in the end, and even dragged down their children.

I don’t know if they regretted their choices in their hearts every night of suffering.

*****

When Xu Shufen was in prison, Yan Jinsheng proposed to divorce her, because Xu Shufen participated in most of these things from beginning to end, and he was almost an invisible man, but Xu Shufen, who only had this last straw, how could she let him go? Even if the court finally sentenced Yan Jinsheng and Xu Shufen to a forced divorce, after coming out of prison, seeing Yan Jinsheng who remarried, Xu Shufen did what she did, which was to insert herself into the newlyweds with a domineering attitude.

Of course, this is not the end. Yan Chu and others can't get their money. Not only that, Lin Fushou and others are also burdened with high compensation, so they turned their attention to Xu Shufen and Yan Jinsheng. It was Yan Tian who drove drunk at the time, and the old house of the Yan family where the couple now lives was registered in the name of the grandson Yan Tian when the ancestor of the Yan family passed away.

It was originally to save a round of inheritance tax, but now it has become the most powerful weapon for Lin Fushou and others to obtain compensation.

As the party at fault in the car accident, the house under Yan Tian's name should naturally be distributed as compensation to the families of the other three victims.

Several families are in a mess, because because of the previous case, all of them lost their jobs and their futures. Only after disguise can they dare to walk on the road.

It is estimated that they will have to wait until the day when Yan Chu is no longer active in the public eye, and these former bugs will be forgotten and see the light again. Therefore, the only thing they can hold on to is the old and dilapidated house of Yan Jinsheng's family.

In the end, Lin Fushou and others certainly got what they wanted, but this also angered Xu Shufen. After being released from prison, that home was her only hope, a hope more reliable than Yan Jinsheng.

Lin Fushou, who ruined everything, naturally became a thorn in her eyes.

I don’t know where she bought a few bottles of sulfuric acid from. She rushed to the Lin family and poured all the sulfuric acid on the other party. After that, she ran away amid the screams of Lin Fushou’s little wife, and wanted to find Yan Chu, whom she hated the most, with the remaining sulfuric acid, but this time she was not so lucky. She was caught before she took action.

This time, she was not so lucky and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

As for lawyer Jiang, who was always interspersed in these two cases, his lawyer license was revoked because he incited and instigated the parties to take illegal means such as disrupting public order and endangering public safety to resolve disputes. At the same time, the network water army under Yan Chu’s Weibo was also confirmed to be hired by him. The lawyer’s license can also be revoked for making remarks that endanger national security, maliciously slander others, and seriously disrupt court order.

Because of these actions, he was held legally responsible and sentenced to two years in prison.

His means of livelihood was gone, and his reputation was completely ruined. After being released from prison, Lawyer Jiang disappeared from the public eye. No one knew where he went or what he was doing.

*****

Over the past fifty years, the foundation founded by Yan Chu has grown bigger and bigger. The people of China humorously call it the Good Man Fund.

This name comes from the post-trial interview when Yan Chu ended the case of helping the elderly that affected his entire life. At that time, the reporter asked him if he would help the elderly who fell to the ground in the future.

Yan Chu said: Yes

The reporter asked him: Why

Yan Chu replied: Probably because my parents taught me to be a good person.

This answer seemed controversial at the time, because he sued too many people at once. Among those people, some were indeed just men and women who were bored and just cursed people on the Internet to show their presence. The criminal lawsuit filed by the other party obviously had a fatal impact on the future of those people.

No one can give an accurate answer to whether this is considered a good person.

But in the following fifty years, Yan Chu proved this with his actual actions.

He has been committed to promoting the improvement of the judicial system throughout his life, and his foundation has helped many people in need.

No matter how much criticism there is on the Internet, and how many people think that his behavior is just for fame and reputation, he has indeed been a good person all his life, and he is also a good person who has helped countless good people.

On the day he died, people who came to mourn filled the entire long alley outside the Yan family's old house. Many children who were still ignorant heard about the deeds of this old man from their parents.

It turns out that more than 50 years ago, helping the elderly was a very scary thing; it turns out that being a witness once required so much courage; it turns out that slander and insults were once such a cost-free thing on the Internet...

They can't say that such changes were brought about by this old man named Yan Chu, but he did play an indelible role in it.

He is a good person!

The author has something to say: The ending has been changed for a long time, and I also know that the ending of my short story is always criticized, so every time I post the ending, I am all kinds of nervous. This is the best version after I have revised it several times. I will get up tomorrow morning to read the comments and continue to be nervous.
