Chapter 166: Who ends up being embarrassed by this?_4
It's something people wouldn't even consider. Tang Fangjing would never be intimidated by threats. That's a commonly accepted fact online; whoever doesn't value their own life!
Someone whose hands were just chopped off went straight to Lincheng to sue the public security authorities. Such a person could definitely not be scared off.
Even though he was clearly in the late stage of cancer, and seemed frail, after much thought, there was just no way to intimidate him. As the saying goes, "How can one threaten those who are not afraid of death with death itself?"
Old Tang was naturally unaware of others' thoughts on the matter, and it wouldn't have mattered to him if he were. The country is large, and a Changshan District doesn't have the power to do much.
This case was simple, so he edited the video himself, too lazy to make another report. Public opinion oversight is also a form of supervision.
When it comes to the judicial process, he wouldn't use public opinion to sway judgement; he relied on his own abilities.
However, for administrative oversight, public opinion supervision is a legally prescribed method, and that definitely had to be utilized.
All his materials were real, without adding any personal commentary of his own. He was curious to see if he would be arrested for picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
If he were to be arrested, that would be even more interesting. To tell the truth, Old Tang had never been in custody before.
Anyway, since he had cheated death, either his head would be gone, or his whole body would be crushed beyond recognition. Otherwise, once he started, he would not compromise... he just wouldn't yield.
As time passed day by day, Old Tang spent each day editing videos in the hotel. Zhou Zhixing's days were not easy, as the matter of his public accusation had been revealed, and now some colleagues would avoid him at work.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, he received a call from the Lincheng Intermediate Court, saying that a verdict had been reached.
Soon both parties arrived at the Intermediate Court, and Yu Niandong from the branch was also there, sitting at the defendant's bench without saying a word.
Presiding Judge Sun waited for both parties to be present, and then began to read the verdict.
"This court finds, the witness testimonies from the property company provided by Changshan Branch, as well as the approval forms..."
The Lincheng Intermediate Court directly dismissed both new pieces of evidence, citing the reasons that Tang Fangjing had pointed out.
"Therefore, the defendant, without adding any effective new evidence, issued a punishment that is almost identical to the previous one that was revoked, clearly violating the relevant regulations of the 'Administrative Litigation Law.'
"To sum up, according to 'Administrative Litigation Law' Article 70 Paragraphs 1 and 3, as well as 'State Compensation Law' Article 3, the judgement is as follows:"
"First, Changshan Branch's administrative punishment decision document number... issued on... is hereby revoked."
"Second, Changshan Branch is ordered to pay the plaintiff Zhou Zhixing compensation for the violation of his personal liberty in the amount of 4,103.4 yuan within thirty days after this judgement takes effect."
"Third, Changshan Branch is ordered to publicly apologize to plaintiff Zhou Zhixing within thirty days after this judgement takes effect, to eliminate the impact."
The case acceptance fee of 50 yuan is to be borne by the defendant, Changshan Branch.
Listening to the result of the judgment, Zhou Zhixing let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally won. There were no unforeseen circumstances this time. The court had revoked the previous punishment and ordered compensation to be paid directly.
Old Tang, however, thought that this outcome was only to be expected. The amount of the compensation was calculated based on last year'saverage daily wage across the country.
Daily it was just over four hundred, so ten days rounded up to that amount.
This judgement was significant; it directly issued a decision for revocation and compensation, making clear that the court would not muddy the waters this time.
Yu Niandong didn't speak, took the verdict, and left without a word, showing no intention of appealing.
He was likely well aware that appealing at this stage would definitely not yield a good outcome. Although the public security, procuratorate, and law are interrelated, even they must clearly distinguish their roles at times.
Zhou Zhixing was already hugging his wife in the gallery, overwhelmed with emotion, continuously shouting, "Wife, I didn't break the law, I didn't break the law!"
He had been under tremendous pressure. Experience exclusive tales on empire
Now, he felt as if clouds had parted to reveal the moon, a sense of relief washed over him, and the ordeal could finally come to an end.
Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, Old Tang picked up his briefcase, feeling what was perhaps the greatest accomplishment a lawyer could have at that moment.
Helping innocent suspects get acquitted, successfully defending the rights of those who received unfair punishment, watching them celebrate— that feeling was very comforting.
The system's missions were one aspect, but that feeling was another.
After the excitement passed, Zhou Zhixing started calling to book a hotel. He wanted to get thoroughly drunk that evening and invite colleagues from work and neighbors to show them that he hadn't broken the law!
The state has to pay me compensation, you understand!
The news had already reached the property management company. Liang Pei was expressionless as he began to consider seriously what they would do if Tang Fangjing helped the community establish a homeowner's committee.
All they could do was sabotage it—the community had property company employees in it.
But surely the other side wouldn't take such a case, right? The community residents wouldn't possibly have the funds to hire such a lawyer.
In the evening, Old Tang took part in the celebration but didn't drink. He was always cautious when outside.
After the euphoria, Zhou Zhixing's life returned to normal. The administrative case sparked by "ten-day detention" came to a close after two rounds and three trials. A conclusion had finally been reached.
The compensation was over four thousand yuan, which, after Old Tang fought for his rights to the end, returned most of his fees, ending up charging only two thousand yuan.
Otherwise, with a case like this, if another lawyer had taken it on, given the lengthy litigation and the immense pressure, it would have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
