What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"I've thought it over, and I still need you to hold down the fort, I don't trust anyone else." Of course, Old Tang had to hold down the fort, Only with Old Tang in charge could he spend more time there, and it made swinging the hoe all the more convenient. Marital disputes, huh? Old Tang thought for a moment. Well, that might work. After all, he had been thinking that once he finished these thirty-one cases, he would take some time to relax and take on some minor cases to clear his head. Handling a few marital disputes wouldn't be too bad, dealing with criminal cases all the time could drive a person insane. Criminal cases are actually interesting too, but marital disputes are a different kind of interesting. For example, during a court hearing, the couple might argue about sexual performance, with the woman claiming the man was inadequate, supporting her claim with a series of detailed descriptions. At that point, the man would cross-examine, also giving detailed descriptions to prove he was more than competent... Then the perpetually single dog judge would be chased down with questions about who was making sense, and the similarly perpetually single court clerk would be dumbfounded, wondering whether this was something they should even be recording? How could the scene be adequately described with just the word 'interesting'? So, after thinking it over, Old Tang quickly replied, "I don't have an issue with that, but I can't come early, I have to finish up some things here first." Han Chengli said it didn't matter, "Whenever you can come is fine, We have an agreement then, remember to contact me once you're done with your things on your end. Otherwise, I'll come looking for you at Tengda!" After chatting about other things for a while, Old Han hung up the phone and then made another call: "Hello, President Cheng, yes, it's me, Han Chengli. I wanted to discuss something with you. I've noticed that marital disputes are occurring more frequently, so shouldn't our lawyers association take some initiative here?" At the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association, President Cheng's face was all dark lines. What was Han up to this time? What did the frequency of marital disputes have to do with our lawyers association? And besides, weren't marital disputes good for lawyers? As ugly as it might sound, that was the logic: no prey, no hunter. If there were no disputes during a divorce, what would you need a divorce lawyer for? But since it was Han, President Cheng merely said, "Director Han, feel free to make your suggestion directly." Han Chengli laughed, "Here's the idea: I have a friend at the women's federation, and I plan on reaching out to her. I want our lawyers association to collaborate with them on a legal advice public service initiative. What do you think?" To a proposal as perfectly correct as this one, what else could President Cheng think? Obviously, he agreed. "But it won't be easy to find a lawyer, will it? Although issues in the field of marriage law are not big issues, the lawyer going to offer legal advice must be experienced to hold the fort. Young lawyers wouldn't command any respect there." It's said that even fair officials have trouble resolving domestic matters; young people sitting there wouldn't be taken seriously. Yet experienced lawyers are always busy, and although the lawyers association could ask them to participate, and they would come, this was Han Chengli's initiative, and President Cheng didn't want the hassle. Hearing this, Han Chengli smiled and said, "No problem, the lawyer has already been found. Old Tang will be back after a while to take charge!" Hearing this, without a moment's hesitation, President Cheng quickly responded, "Director Han, I think the lawyers association really ought to actively participate in this..." In Lincheng City, Old Tang's life had resumed its routine; he booked a hotel room for an entire month straight away. And believe it or not, a high-class hotel can actually be more comfortable than renting an apartment. Not having to clean up every day on your own was a particularly nice perk. Maybe it was because the mediator was indeed capable, but after that, the cases progressed very quickly. The second case went to court, the third case went to court... Back in Jingzhou, things naturally moved faster; as Old Tang's home turf, they had to show him some courtesy. In between court sessions, Old Tang began to run around again; if he was going to do something, he was going to do it thoroughly! Just like with the Huang Licheng case, where the village committee demolished property on their own, they might be responsible for not only civil but also criminal liability! There are similar precedents from the Supreme People's Court; civil entities or grassroots autonomous organizations have no right to demolish property. If they do so without proper authority, they may face both civil and criminal liability. For example, a resolution from the villagers' representative assembly is evidence, which would prove that your demolition was not carried out by a governmental authority... And the Supreme People's Procuratorate has also had similar cases of prosecutorial supervision. So now, Old Tang had come to Shanfeng County, curious to find out whether it was the village committee itself that had done the demolition, or if they had done it under the direction of relevant departments. And considering it had been almost ten years, the limitation of liability for the crime of intentionally destroying property was seven years, with a statute of limitations of ten years. Which meant if it exceeded ten years, there would be no way to pursue it. The public security organs of Shanfeng County now felt the same pressure that Changlu County's organs had felt before. The evidence they had used to put Liu Shangjin away ten years ago had now become the evidence for Old Tang's police report... How could they refute that, claim there was an issue with the evidence or that it required further investigation? Fortunately, many years had passed, and the officials involved had retired, so Old Tang filing a report went surprisingly smoothly. On the morning of the third day, the Shanfeng County public security informed him that a case had been filed! Old Tang wasn't surprised by the outcome, after all, the example set by Changlu County was glaring; rather than prevaricating and ultimately having to deal with it themselves, it was better to take charge right away. After sorting things out in Shanfeng County, Old Tang began to travel to other places, one by one, not missing a single one. ... Despite having been away from Jingzhou for some time, Jingzhou was still the same old Jingzhou.
