What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 549 - 181: Are there still people who dig their own graves this day and age?_4

He went so far as to outright deny the existence of the sale!

As honest as the heavens and earth, this time he hadn’t set a trap, and yet the other party dug one themselves and jumped right in…

Seeing the other side finish speaking, Old Tang immediately said, "Judgment Chief, I think there’s no need to continue the trial."

Huh? Hearing this, everyone in the courtroom was a bit confused, including some villagers in the spectators’ seats.

The clerk wasn’t sure whether to record it, and Xu Shouchang also expressed his doubts, saying, "Lawyer Jiang, what is going on here?"

Jiang Zhongxi shook his head, "I also don’t know what’s going on..."

But quite quickly, he also spoke up, "Judgment Chief, I think the plaintiff’s representative is disrupting the order of the court."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Shouchang and muttered, "Just watch, if this Tang Fangjing can’t come up with a clear explanation soon, wait for him to be expelled, he’s provoking the Judgment Chief."

"I’ve been in Dongshan for so many years, and I’ve never seen such a thing."

The Judgment Chief spoke, "Plaintiff’s lawyer, what do you mean? Why is there no need for a trial?"

The tone was very serious.

Old Tang smiled and said, "Judgment Chief, could I first confirm with the defendant that the lawyer’s opinion is indeed the defendant’s opinion?"

This was purely stalling for time. Xu Shouchang impatiently said, "Enough already, who in the whole country doesn’t know that a lawyer’s opinion represents the client’s opinion? Why ask such a question!"

Old Tang immediately said, "Then, let’s sort this out, the other party has already said that the previous action was a gift and has nothing to do with the loan."

"In that case, that’s outright loan fraud, meeting the elements of the crime of fraud and involving an especially large amount, and I suggest transferring it to the public security authorities for processing."

"Not prosecuting a consumer case is just as well, I think this outcome is sufficient already."

With fraud established, the public security authorities could recover the money, and indeed, Old Tang was really wanting to laugh.

Ah... ah? The Judgment Chief finally realized what was happening. He was a civil court judge, not totally ignorant of criminal law, but he had just been led astray by the lengthy arguments of the two.

One was talking about strong correlation, the other was clinging to this correlation claiming there was none, saying it was a gift and not a sale.

He had neglected the rest, and now that he thought about it, if it was truly a gift, that was certainly fraud...

Across the way, Xu Shouchang and his group were stunned, damn it, this was what they had been trying to avoid all along! Why state it was a sale? Why go out of their way to supply products, if not to prevent being accused of fraud?

And now this lawyer…

"No, Judgment Chief, that, what I said, it was sales, not a gift, this lawyer is spouting nonsense, we facilitated the loan to purchase goods..."

Across from him, Old Tang, suppressing a smile, remarked, "Not long ago someone said that everyone in the whole country knows that a lawyer’s opinion is the opinion of the party involved."

Xu Shouchang was both angry and anxious. He turned to look at the old lawyer beside him, and unable to contain his fury, he slapped him and kicked him as well.

Another companion had also started a physical altercation, feeling that it was the lawyer who had deceived them, turning what was a fine situation into fraud!

"If you don’t understand, can’t you just shut up? And you call yourself a lawyer, damn..."

The defendant’s bench dissolved into chaos, and the Judgment Chief’s gavel pounded repeatedly to no avail until the bailiffs finally arrived to forcibly separate the parties.

The villagers in the audience were thoroughly entertained; they hadn’t expected such spectacle, and it would be a tale to tell in the village for a long time.

Jiang Zhongxi’s glasses were shattered, blood was on his face, and now he pointed at a few people across the way, saying, "Alright, you dare to hit me, do you? Just you wait, if you don’t end up in prison, I’ll write my surname Jiang backwards!"

Previously, he had been with the court. Tang Fangjing might be someone they couldn’t afford to provoke, but a few of you should be no problem!
