In this trial, the court summoned all parties to witness the physical evidence and pronounced the verdict on the spot: "Hua Min struck first, and the circumstances were egregious. He acted impulsively and compensated the other party's medical expenses. Lin Yan did not participate in the beating, but only broke up the fight, which did not constitute a crime." .”
"As the plaintiff, Yuan Hai advocated his own rights and interests, which is understandable. However, the cause of the incident was his bad words, and he should bear half of the responsibility."
Yuan Hai was dissatisfied with this result. He was obviously the one who was injured, but he had to pay half of the fault.
Some supported it, some opposed it, and there was endless debate.
In any case, the court pronounced its verdict and the matter was temporarily settled. As for whether Yuan Hai should appeal to the Oversight Council or not, that is another matter.
Hua Min and Lin Yan were able to accept this outcome, after all, the fault was their own. As for the crimes committed by Yuan Hai, it requires Yuan Zi's family to appeal to the court, which are two different things.
By the time Shui Sheng and Huang Ying arrived in a hurry, ten days had passed.
As soon as she saw the person, Huang Ying said eagerly: "The matter is very big. It has been spread in other cities. You are in a high position and cannot lead by example. The people are boiling and demanding a heavy sentence. What is going on, what is said in the letter I don’t know, tell us quickly.”
Lin Yan told the whole story in detail, and finally said: "The beating matter is not difficult to handle, and it has been tried. Yuan Zi's matter is difficult, so I came to you. Over the years, you two have been involved in countless cases. To be more clear about the law, let’s talk about it.”
Shui Sheng had a frosty look on his face and frowned slightly, "It's difficult to determine this kind of thing. There is no doubt that the person committed suicide. According to the current law, it is difficult to impose a heavy sentence."
"I know. I came to you to discuss and resolve this matter. Yuan Zi's case is very typical. Although a person committed suicide, it was other people's fault that caused him to commit suicide. How to characterize it and how to punish it according to law, these must be done by someone."
Lin Yan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I have thought about it a lot. With the existing laws, it is really difficult to convict Yuan Hai. But we know that people have committed crimes, but we go unpunished and do nothing. There will be more in the future." People take advantage of the law. I want to use this case to set a precedent and bring those who commit crimes to justice."
"This is also my wish." Hua Min said angrily, "You don't know that Yuan Hai's face. It's so abominable. The person is already dead, and he still spreads rumors everywhere. He has no guilt at all and doesn't care about human life at all."
Huang Ying: "You are still so impulsive, and you explode at the first moment. As a member of the alliance, you have been publicly tried and punished, and you have been humiliated. Don't you have any regrets?"
"I don't regret it. I just regret that the beating was too light." Hua Min angrily said, "I just can't stand Yuan Hai's face. There are many people like this, and I might not be able to bear it if I see him in the future."
Shui Sheng: "All your hard work over the years has been in vain. Now you have a different identity, and every move you make attracts attention, which will lead to unpredictable consequences."
"I know, but I can't bear it. If it were you, would you just watch helplessly?"
Huang Ying: "There are many ways to deal with a bastard, and you don't have to risk your life. Hua Min, you can't be so willful."
Hua Min knew what they said was right, and this time the defendant had a certain impact on her. But when the mood came, she just couldn't help it.
Lin Yan: "The matter is now at this point. Hua Min acted impulsively. It's useless to talk more. It's better to think about how to solve Yuan Zi's matter."
Shuisheng disagreed, "If everyone was like Hua Min, it would be a complete mess. This time, Hua Min was accused and a record was left on her file, which would have an impact on her future election for office. Look at her nonchalant look. , I haven’t fully realized my mistake yet.”
Huang Ying and Shuisheng stood aside, "Before coming here, Minglan and Baiyun looked for us."
Lin Yan was stunned, "What did they say?"
"The matter got serious, and Minglan and Baiyun had to intervene. They wanted Hua Min to keep a low profile and stop causing trouble. When she returns to Sun City, Hua Min may not be able to escape."
Hua Min gasped rapidly, "Minglan and Baiyun still want to punish me? The Yuanye Court has already sentenced it, and I accept it, so why do they still care?"
Huang Ying: "Someone went to the Arbitration Court and demanded that Hua Min be severely punished. She should not be treated specially just because she holds a high position. Rumors have been spread that those in power are shielding each other, causing dissatisfaction among the people. Hua Min hit the muzzle of the gun, Minglan and Baiyun had to show his attitude."
Shuisheng: "Hua Min made a mistake first. Her identity is sensitive and it is inevitable to cause a sensation. If she goes back this time, she will definitely not be able to escape the punishment. What I am worried about is, will Hua Min's position be affected?"
Lin Yan's expression changed drastically, "Someone is taking this opportunity to cause trouble and wants Hua Min to step down?"
Shui Sheng: "There are signs of this. Hua Min is a member of the Alliance Arbitration Court and the Minister of Science and Technology. There are many people watching secretly. This time we have caught something. If it really breaks Hua Min's muscles and bones, many people will be happy to see it. .”
Huang Ying: "The system is getting better and better, and the vacant seats are being filled. The people below are working hard to be promoted. There are only so many senior positions, and each one is important. Today's alliance is no longer as simple as it was when it was first established. Pure, the network of relationships is intricate, and every election is a game. If Hua Min can be unseated, both of her positions are crucial, and there will be two vacancies at once, and how many people will be fighting for them."
Hua Min's face changed drastically. When she hit someone, she never thought it would have such serious consequences, "Am I really going to be kicked out?"
Lin Yan's face turned ugly, "Shui Sheng, Huang Ying, what do you think is the possibility?"
Huang Ying said solemnly: "There is a half chance. Hua Min can only keep one position as a member of parliament or the Minister of Science and Technology."
"I think so too." Shuisheng said solemnly, "Hua Min is a typical example. To satisfy more people, a position has to be made available. Minglan and Baiyun also think so."
"Where are Heitu and Fenghua?" Lin Yan hasn't had a detailed discussion with them since he came back. After many years of power, he wonders if they still retain their original intentions.
There are five arbiters, Minglan is the chairperson, she has a very strong say, and Baiyun's position makes it difficult to change.
Huang Ying: "Heitu and Fenghua have not expressed their stance and are still waiting and watching. According to my observation, they will not oppose or support it. When the arbitration court votes, the difference in votes should not be big."
Hua Min is a member of parliament with a high status. If she wants to make a decision on this matter, she must go through the parliament. There are twenty-one members in total. Except for Hua Min herself, the remaining twenty have voting rights.
The difference is that Minglan alone is equivalent to three votes, each of the four arbitrators is equivalent to two votes, and the remaining members are each equivalent to one vote.
Hua Min also knew that she might be in trouble this time. She caught a glimpse of Lin Yan from the corner of her eye and suddenly smiled, "Have you forgotten that Lin Yan and Lan Yue are back? They are both over fifteen years old."
Shui Sheng and Huang Ying looked at Lin Yan at the same time, thinking at the same time: "Yeah, how could you forget such an important thing."
