my wife is a consul

Chapter 194 Right and wrong black and white
The weighty city lord Luo is very young, he has just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and looks like he is in his 30s.

The official residence of the city lord is a majestic stone building complex, in sharp contrast to the thatched and earthen houses in Bate City.

The water source of Bate City is extremely precious, but in the garden, the water curtain sprinkled by the fountain is as tall as half a person.

Beside the stone table, Zhongquan Luo, Sherlock, Lu Ming, and the economic and trade group were eating rare melons and fruits and chatting casually.

There are several native translators in the economic and trade group, who were hired in Sand Gravel City. Now the two heads of the group who came to see the city lord are the most outstanding ones.

But even so, Zhongquan Luo was very interested in the East China Sea, and the content of the chat was varied, involving many uncommon words. Sometimes, it was difficult to translate for the native.

Sherlock tried several times to bring the conversation back on track.

Zhongquan Luo then lazily opened the briefcase and took out the official letter to read, but his eyes suddenly focused.

At this moment, a guard hurried in, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhongquan Luo, and muttered something.

Zhongquan Luo smiled at Lu Ming: "Mayor Lu, your servants are here, and they are urgent, so they must see you now."

Lu Ming smiled: "Okay."

There are so many things to do, I have been sitting here for almost two hours, and I have arranged for people to come at a similar time to give myself a chance to escape.

Many people chatted about business affairs, but they couldn't talk about any substantive content.

After taking a look at Wen Liangyu, seeing Wen Liangyu nodding his head slightly, Lu Ming got up and walked out.

……

There were several carriages outside, and Lu Ming got into one of them.

Although the United Matrix has an open-top off-road jeep, there is no problem with the road conditions here.

I can also requisition this jeep just like taking a helicopter, and Sherlock's excuse is to pay for the rental by himself.

But gasoline is expensive, so we should save it. Otherwise, the nearest place where you can buy gasoline counted in barrels is a city-state more than 200 miles away.

If there is a sufficient supply, it is even a gravel city thousands of miles away.

Therefore, here, honestly, the carriage is king.

However, after entering the carriage, Lu Ming was slightly taken aback.

In the carriage, besides Luo Yi who had arranged to report the news, there was also a woman in traditional local clothes, the extremely gorgeous Papa Ya.

She didn't dare to look at herself, there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, and she whispered something in a low voice.

Luo Yi translated, "Master, Mrs. Papa Ya said that Hawkeye Luo sent her a secret letter..." After a pause, Luo Yi said: "The old captain Catfish told me to read that letter first." But this news, the letter instructs Mrs. Papa Ya to tell you personally."

Lu Ming nodded.

Luo Yi continued to translate, "The letter said that a barrister named Richard Hanson arrived in Nicholas City early this morning. It seems that people from the Fila Petroleum Company picked up the station. Mr. Hawkeye Luo thinks that maybe It has something to do with you, sir."

Hearing Richard Hansen's name, Lu Ming's eyelids twitched slightly.

This summer is likely to become an eighth-rank senior barrister, a legendary giant in the legal world, and has he become an opponent he has to face?
In the case of Little Renault in the East China Sea, he once had a brief confrontation with him. Taking advantage of the right time, place and people, he defeated him technically.

It's just that he ended that disgraceful journey with a speech criticizing the legal system in the East China Sea.

I had also expected that one day, I could fight him again under completely fair conditions.

He also has the same idea, right?
And the decision-maker of Fira Petroleum here has spent thousands of miles to invite him from the imperial capital, which naturally cost a lot of money.

Similarly, he is willing to come to this place where no shit is done, and there is no such thing as an uncivilized place where there is no law to fight a lawsuit.

Apart from money, the most important thing is because the main character to be confronted is himself.

Neither I nor him thought that this day would come so soon, right?
It's not bad, in this city of Bate, he and I can't even call it home. Moreover, it would be very interesting to think about using local laws to fight a possibly lame lawsuit.

But fun is fun, what if you lose?

If the opponent is him, this possibility is still very high.

Lu Ming's heart sank slightly, then Old Liu was in danger.

Because he and he are both blind men and elephants, in a short period of time, they have to study the local laws and regulations from ancient times to the present, looking for terms that are beneficial to themselves and terms that suppress the other party.

It may be similar to opening a blind box, but after all, Richard has decades of rich legal experience in this world, and he has also litigated in the city-states of the Western Regions before.

Not to mention, he has a great law firm's support, and the elite lawyers in this law firm's experience in litigation in the Western Regions can be transformed into help for him.

Compared with himself, he has an innate advantage.

Moreover, he is also a litigant.

Unlike in Donghai, the roles of himself and him were reversed.

The last time he was the prosecutor, he was the defendant.

This time, he is similar to the prosecutor, and he himself is the defendant's agent.

More importantly, in terms of the circumstances of the case, it is also extremely unfavorable to one's own side.

According to Liu Laocai, he did have a relationship with Nahashan, and it was indeed a semi-forced one.

These things, Liu Laocai was coy, and he was forced to ask him out. He also knew that if he didn't tell the truth to himself, he would die.

Liu Laocai said that Hashan is not beautiful. She is a woman in her 30s who lives at the bottom and her skin is a bit rough.

But gentle and kind, hardworking and simple, Liu Laocai said that he has never seen such a good woman in his whole life.

Hazan is often abused by her husband, but she doesn't know how to resist.

For the guest Liu Laocai, Ha Shan also listened to her husband's words and served her carefully every day.

Looking at her, Liu Laocai always felt distressed.

She secretly gave her a gift, but Hashan took nothing away, only once, when Liu Laocai picked a handful of wild flowers, she turned around and found a half-broken earthen bowl, put soil and water in it, and placed the wildflowers in her room.

But the next day, he was beaten up by a local dog and threw the "flower pot" into pieces in the courtyard.

It seems that the earth dog is fascinated by the earth in the "flower pot".

Afterwards, Hashan cried secretly for a day, looking at Liu Laocai's eyes, according to Liu Laocai, it seemed that he hoped to be forgiven by Liu Laocai for not guarding the gift he gave.

On the day of the accident, the day after the flowerpot incident, Hashan's husband, Tugou, took Liu Laocai to the home of the extremely beautiful and coquettish woman who had arranged for a drink.

But that woman teased and seduced Liu Laocai, Liu Laocai felt disgusted, but he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses.

Back at the residence, Hashan was the same as usual, gentle enough to help Liu Laocai take off his shoes and cover the quilt, and help Liu Laocai wipe the dirty things from his mouth.

Liu Laocai drank too much wine, and also got angry because of being seduced by a beautiful woman. At that time, he hugged Hashan and pressed her under his body.

Liu Laocai regretted it when he said this, saying that Hashan did resist, and the resistance was very fierce.

At that time, Tugou drank too much and slept soundly in his own room. After Mr. Liu's fortune was settled, Tugou found out about the two of them.

Lu Ming sighed softly, and recalled the scene when Liu Laocai talked about it. He closed his eyes and muttered, his face full of remorse, and said that now thinking of Hashan's eyes at that time, he really deserved it, maybe he deserved to beheaded Bar?

How can Liu Laocai be exonerated in such a lawsuit?

In fact, it can be heard that Hashan may not really hate Liu Laocai. Moreover, compared with her husband, Tugou, who often abuses her domestically, she may have a vague liking for Liu Laocai.

If Liu Laocai hadn't had the illusion, there would be some ambiguous feelings between the two of them.

But this is definitely not the reason why Liu Laocai forced her.

Even if Hazan did have a crush on him, it was he who brought a glimmer of light to Hazan's miserable life.

Even if in fact Hazan's resistance is just an instinctive reaction brought about by confusion about the unknown and deep-rooted customs.

But Liu Laocai, according to the laws of his previous life, did violate the will of women.

Not to mention, if it was adultery, both of them would be more guilty, and both of them would be beheaded.

Perhaps, I really have to make a plan to rob the prison.

In case I really can't deal with this lawsuit, if Liu Laocai is convicted, I will take him away forcibly.

If Hazan is willing, he can also bring her with him. After all, if she stays here, her future fate may be even more miserable.

It's just that if this is the case, I'm afraid I will become a wanted criminal in the Western Region Alliance.

The high-level officials in the East China Sea will also be furious, and there will be a fierce game between protecting their own and getting rid of their own.

Moreover, the chance of being screwed may be very high.

Even if you don't go to prison, it is inevitable that you will no longer be suitable for politics, and you will be impeached from positions such as parliamentarians and city councilors.

It is not even insurance that the lawyer's license will be revoked.

In the future, you can only do business?
As for the benefits that he originally wanted to get in the Western Regions, and Liu Laocai's oil fields, he didn't even need to think about it.

Moreover, it is clear that the earth dog knew when Liu Laocai forced Hashan.

The beautiful woman I was looking for should have seduced Liu Laocai, slandered Liu Laocai and raped her.

However, Liu Laocai was not interested in that woman, but he didn't want to have feelings for Ha Shan, so the local dog simply paid for Ha Shan.

This case is really a headache, right and wrong, black and white, it is difficult to tell clearly.
