Hanzhou, the capital of Hanzhou, is a transportation hub in the central region. Railway lines from east to west, north and south intersect here. Business and trade are very developed. It is the third largest city in the empire. Its ethnic groups are relatively complex, and there is also a new mixed ethnic group formed over the past millennium. This A mixed-race ethnic group, rich in handsome men and beauties, is called the Bronn. The original Western meaning was derogatory, similar to the meaning of hybrid in the Middle-earth language. However, nowadays this ancient term has lost its original derogatory meaning and is just a special name for this ethnic group. vocabulary.
The Burung people gather in the southernmost part of Hanzhou, called Burung City. Because they feel that they are excluded from the main ethnic groups of the empire, they have a sense of abandonment. In recent years, the Burung people have become more independent and demand to establish an independent country and become an empire. The call for the sixth federal body has never stopped. Almost every few years, Bronn City Council will have a similar proposal to hold a referendum on independence submitted to the council and passed. However, in the end it is always ruled by the Hanzhou High Court as violating the "Griffinian" The Kingdom's Peace Act" was ruled invalid and prohibited from holding a referendum.
Lu Ming's lawsuit in Hanzhou was in Bulong City.
The defendants are dozens of families from a natural village in the westernmost part of Bulong City. This village was formed in recent years. They were originally farmers from neighboring cities. More than ten years ago, they discovered that there were barren hills here and later reclaimed them. Relatives and friends told each other, and dozens of families moved in one after another. When several barren hills and abandoned land nearby were being reclaimed, the owner of this land suddenly came.
They were from the Bron whose family had moved to the city a long time ago. Their ancestors once had a title, but now they have lost their aristocratic status. The member of the family who came to declare their sovereignty was named Hamilton, a middle-aged man who had just lost his job.
Now, Lu Ming was wandering around in a barren mountain that was already full of fruits and vegetables. He was followed by several villagers. The leader was a spirited old man named Luo. He was also the highest-ranking person in charge of the village. The people who came to reclaim the wasteland used to be Almost all relatives and friends are named Luo, and they call this village Luojia Village.
"Mr. Lu, look at it, this place was originally a barren slope. We shed blood and sweat back then, so we planted all kinds of fruits here and opened canals to divert water for irrigation. I could still do it at that time, right? "Luo Laozhu sighed deeply and asked the person behind him.
"Yes, my second uncle's body collapsed from working day and night at that time!" A middle-aged man said angrily, "Now, that guy shows up, wants our land, and wants us to compensate for the damage. What a bully! You bastard!"
"Don't make Mr. Lu laugh with your angry words and curses!" Luo Laozhu glared at the middle-aged man.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. If it was the era of large-scale reclamation, it was inevitable that these lands would be owned by the villagers of Luojia Village.
However, the era of great reclamation re-established the social order, equalized the rich and the poor, disintegrated many aristocratic families, and resolved serious social crises. After that, the sanctity of private property became the main theme again.
Although some of the legal spirit of the Great Reclamation era has been retained, for example, in order to avoid unnecessary waste, the barren fields were turned into land that can create value and resources. Regardless of property or land, in the laws of some states, there are cases of encroachment up to The legal principle that a certain number of years will belong to the appropriator is a principle that is summarized as adverse appropriation.
But such states are still in the minority, and the city of Burung is an obviously exclusive area. It will be extremely difficult for outsiders and Burung people to file a land-grabbing lawsuit.
Not to mention, only a small part of the land in Luojia Village has been reclaimed for more than ten years. More than half of the land was reclaimed within ten years. Generally speaking, in states with legislation on adverse occupation of land today, most of the years are About ten years.
Even if a similar lawsuit is filed in those states, more than half of the land will still have to be returned, as well as part of the income from the land in the past ten years.
But as a result, dozens of families in Luojia Village have just entered the harvest season. Their hard work over the years has been wasted, and many families will be evicted. This is a fatal blow to these poor families, who will not be able to survive. .
"Lawyer Lu, the fruits here are particularly delicious. Luo Shanguo has become more and more famous in the past two years. It's no wonder that this fruit is so famous that it attracted Mr. Hamilton here!" Luo Laozhu sighed, and then Shouted: "Where have the Luo Dong family gone?"
Following his shout, a graceful figure walked quickly from the nearby orchard, a pretty young woman in floral clothes. She held several red fruits in her hands with crystal drops of water on them. She whispered: " I'm going to wash the fruit..."
He took two steps forward and handed it to Lu Ming and Jin Meiyan who was beside Lu Ming, "Sir, Miss, you two can try the newly picked mountain fruits." Then he said to Lu Ming: "I washed my hands many times. It was also washed very clean." After all, he was holding the fruit with his hands and giving it to these distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests came from a paradise city like the East China Sea. They were more likely to be particularly famous people. It was Uncle Luo who begged a judge of the East China Sea. Then The judge took pity on Uncle Luo and invited friends to help. Even if he was from Donghai, he would never see such a big shot, let alone the countryside here. I would give the fruit directly to others with my hands, fearing that they would dislike me, so I washed my hands and the fruit over and over again.
Lu Ming picked up a fruit and nodded to Jin Meiyan. Jin Meiyan also took one and tasted it.
When he came to Hanzhou to see his sister, he brought her with him, but on the plane, Lu Ming almost didn't see her presence. Because there was Pamela, the person Jin Meiyan was most afraid of, so she never knew how to hide. Where to go.
However, after getting off the plane, Lu Ming didn't scold her all the way. He was already a little sports star, and he might even be able to bring glory to Donghai next year.
What's more, she is a contracted sports star under Fifteen Tai. Little Jennifer also likes her very much. She is also Kim Meizhen's sister. She looks at Buddha's face even if she is not a monk.
It seems that she has grown much better than before. Wearing a snow-white sportswear and travel shoes, she looks very youthful and beautiful, and even the small nose studs are not so dazzling.
"Well, it tastes really good!" Lu Ming took a bite and nodded repeatedly. There was a lot of sour and sweet juice. He had never seen this kind of mountain fruit in his previous life. It looked like a pomegranate, but it tasted like a pomegranate.
After thinking about it, he said to Luo Laozhu: "I want to study this case carefully and change lawyers. I will apply for an extension."
The lawyers originally hired by Luojia Village were completely defeated. If the fight continues under the current situation, the people in Luojia Village are afraid that all the families in Luojia Village will be evicted and will be burdened with huge debts.
"Mr. Lu, I have troubled you all!" Luo Laozhu sighed deeply. It could be seen that he was still very uneasy and anxious.
…
Administratively, Luojia Village belongs to a small town called Kuisi. The town has a magistrate's court, but it only hears minor criminal cases or economic disputes with an amount of less than 2,000 yuan.
Therefore, for cases in Luojia Village, the trial court is the Bulong District Court.
The urban population of Bulong is not large, about 200,000 to 300,000 people, which is far less than that of Beiguan.
Lu Ming wandered around its best hotel and decided to stay in Hanzhou.
Fortunately, there is a private airport in Bloem, and it only takes an hour to fly to Hanzhou.
For the lawsuit in Luojia Village, Porterham has applied for a ten-day extension. As for the lawsuit against the Douglas farmer in Milton State, Douglas wants to sue the state's beef association. He will wait until the lawsuit here to start the litigation process.
The village representative Luo Xiaozhu, Luo Laozhu's son, who was originally dazzled by the splendor of the Bronn Hotel, was even more shocked when he saw that Mr. Lu was not satisfied with the accommodation conditions here.
After getting on the private plane, Luo Xiaozhu entered the Grand View Garden and was completely dizzy.
In fact, the so-called village representatives did not have to follow Lu Ming before the trial. However, regarding the life and death of the whole village, it was obviously too much torture for the villagers to wait for Mr. Lu to come back ten days later.
From the eyes of the villagers, lawyers also need villagers to be around at all times for consultation, don’t they? This is common sense.
Lu Ming understood their thoughts, so he brought along the village representative Luo Xiaozhu. In addition, Luo Laozhu's nephew-in-law Luo Shufen was the pretty young woman who once picked mountain fruits for Lu Ming and Jin Meiyan. She was originally entrusted by the village. She is serving Mr. Lu, serving tea and water, etc. He is pretty and knowledgeable. It was her idea to ask Uncle Luo of the East China Sea at the beginning. Now serving him with Mr. Lu may gain extra points and help me. The clumsy-tongued Luo Xiaozhu said that she knew the situation in the village better.
But when I actually arrived in Bronn with Lu Ming and his entourage, and then got on the plane, I realized why Mr. Lu needed the services of outsiders. There are a bunch of young, beautiful and well-trained maids, and all of them are indescribably exquisite from clothing to temperament, and they can be big stars.
Village beauty Luo Shufen, compared with these girls, immediately turned into a bumpkin.
When the plane landed at Hanzhou Airport, a long motorcade picked up the plane in front of the apron, then went to Times Tower and took the VIP elevator to the top floor.
Mr. Lu lived in a two-story luxury penthouse apartment, and the various things inside made the two representatives of the Luo family completely feel that they had entered a paradise in a dream, the world had been turned upside down, and reality no longer existed.
Times Tower is not far from Hanju University, separated by Hanju’s famous Central Park.
The penthouse apartment in Times Tower offers stunning views of downtown Hanzhou and Central Park. The two-story apartment is nearly 1,000 square meters, with an extremely spacious outdoor terrace, gorgeous decoration, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and garden. Wait, there's even a pool table and bar.
The interior of the apartment is decorated in a bright style, mainly in snow-white tones, covered with hardwood and marble floors, and there is a beautiful marble spiral staircase.
It was also the first time for Lu Ming to visit the penthouse apartment he bought in Hanzhou.
Hanzhou is the third largest city in the empire. Many groups controlled by Lu Ming have business development here, so it is inevitable to have a foothold here.
Nowadays, Lu Ming feels more and more unaccustomed to living in hotels. It's not that the conditions are good enough, but that he feels comfortable living in his own place. For example, in the small 60-square-meter apartment on Changning Road in the East China Sea, living in it is also very comfortable and peaceful. Still down to earth.
As for the penthouse apartment in Hanzhou Times Building, I have only seen photos of the interior and photos of the outside scenery from the inside.
Nowadays, the refreshing feeling of being there and overlooking the magnificent scenery of Central Park is far from the feeling that photos can bring.
"The day after tomorrow is Sunday, right? Let's go see your sister together then." Standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Lu Ming smiled as he glanced at Jin Meiyan who timidly walked up.
But I don’t know why, I feel a bit indescribable, maybe even stage fright.
Although the other person is just a little bean sprout, after "breaking up" with him, he will always think of the scenes when he and she watched an outdoor movie together, the joy and innocence of turning into a teenager.
In fact, I hesitated whether to see her when I came to Hanzhou, until I asked Jin Miyan how her sister was doing. I heard Jin Miyan said that little Meizhen is studying hard now and her grades are very good. It seems that there is nothing left. Talking to Jin Miyan When I was talking to myself, I also said that I would buy some gifts for myself and take them there during the summer vacation.
This is good news, it means that she is really relieved, which is good.
Looking at Jin Meiyan, Lu Ming said again: "You didn't tell her that I was coming, right?"
Jin Meiyan was startled and quickly shook her head, thinking that you didn't explain things, how dare I say nonsense, am I not afraid of being scolded by you?
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "You call her to make an appointment tomorrow and tell her I'm coming."
Jin Meiyan nodded hurriedly.
Lu Ming stretched and said, "It's time to get down to business!"
I turned around and entered the study room. In the study room, there were also floor-to-ceiling windows, and I could see Central Park. Viewed from a high altitude, the green trees and lawns of Central Park were beautiful square pieces, and the artificial lake in the middle was like a round circle. The blue mirror has a dreamy beauty.
Lu Ming picked up the books on the table and looked through them. There were local legal provisions, historical books, etc. of the Bron people. Lu Ming gradually became fascinated by them.
