Lu Ming also did not participate in the selection of jurors. In fact, for this case, the differences in individual cognition of the jurors cannot affect and influence the verdict. It is mainly a matter of how they view what happened in Anshan as a whole. war mentality.
During the selection process, the Montenegrin legal team was led by Barrister Gao Zengbao, with lawyer Han Anni as an assistant. The main purpose was to exclude warmongers and people who lacked sympathy from the jury.
Lu Ming went to Beining City.
…
Han Renwang was once known for his cruelty, but as he has aged, his temperament seems to have become much docile, and he is not so strict in controlling his subordinates.
In a very elegant garden teahouse, Lu Ming met Han Anni's father.
The old man is very old, with wrinkles on his face and a stooped back. He is very different from the image of the "Korean King" in the rumors.
"In the past two years, you have taken care of her mother and daughter in the East China Sea?" When asked, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Han Renwang's originally cloudy eyes.
Lu Ming shook his head and said, "This is out of the question. Han Jian is very independent and his income is not low. However, when Aunt Tang first arrived in Donghai, I just helped her find a house to live in."
Han Renwang let out a long breath, "How are you, Yan'er?" Obviously, although he is a powerful hero, surrounded by warblers and swallows, he still has a special feeling for the Tang family that is unforgettable.
Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, my aunt is very adaptable to life there." When I mention this aunt, I get a headache.
He became the Prince of Black Mountain Castle, and even called her. After a while of compliments, he told her that when he returned to the East China Sea, he must have tea with her.
Han Renwang twisted the handle of the tea cup for a while and said, "Originally, I was supposed to go to Wu'an to visit you, but I didn't expect that you are here now!"
It was originally about talking about family affairs, but when the topic reached this point, Han Renwang gradually lowered his stance.
Lu Ming smiled: "That's right, you're too polite."
"Brother-in-law, when are you going to marry my sister?" A handsome man in his thirties interjected with a smile.
He is Han Renwang's youngest son, named Han Anlin. Han Renwang has seven sons, and he is the seventh.
Han Anlong and Han Anhu were not here, but Han Renwang asked his seventh son to accompany him, which shows his preference for this seventh son.
Lu Ming smiled: "It depends on whether Han Jian agrees or not."
I have read relevant information before. Han Anlin studied at a Japanese university and married a Japanese wife.
Five years ago, Ssangyong would riot because of their own case.
Han Renwang's old enemy, Linshi Brigadier General Zheng, believed that Han Renwang had lost control of Wu'an and launched a war.
Li Mingxuan's family was apparently killed by stragglers because of this war.
In the end, Qi Huaide was furious and the two sides negotiated a peace. Brigadier Zheng returned Wu'an to Han Renwang, but he also received generous compensation.
From that time on, Han Renwang's seven sons gradually became favored, and Han Renwang secretly began to have contact with the Japanese.
But after all, the Northern Xinjiang people and the Haixi people are mortal enemies, and they have an instinctive resistance to the Japanese people.
Han Renwang probably hasn't made up his mind yet, and his nominal successor Han Anlong is also firmly opposed.
Han Anlin and Han Anlong are actually secretly fighting for succession, which is no secret among senior officers in Beining.
At the same time, judging from the intelligence in the northern Xinjiang provincial capital, Qi Huaide was already prepared. If Han Renwang wanted to fall to the Japanese, he would kill Han Renwang with lightning speed.
In this lawsuit in Wu'an, why didn't Qi Huaide think it was an opportunity to intervene in Beining's affairs and bring Beining into the directly governed area?
For example, if an infantry battalion is officially sent, then if there are any changes or emergencies, more direct troops may be sent into Beining.
Therefore, in the end, the lawsuit was able to be heard in Wu'an because of the various considerations of several parties behind the scenes.
"Brother-in-law, I'll see you off when you leave. I haven't seen my little sister for a long time. We have the best relationship!" Han Anlin said with a smile.
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay!"
…
Han Anlin's statement that he had the best relationship with Han Anlin was obviously an exaggeration, as Lu Ming learned. In fact, the relationship between Han Anlin and her seven brothers and five sisters was not very good. According to Tang, none of Han Anlin's brothers and sisters were even good. Good people.
However, Han Anlin sent Lu Ming back to Wu'an, and Han Anlin and Han Anlin sat down together to have dinner.
The dining hall of Sanyuan Hotel is a bungalow structure with two small private rooms.
Lu Ming, Han Anlin and Han Anni were sitting in one of the small private rooms.
Listening to what Han Anlin and Lu Ming were talking about, Han Anni's pretty face looked so helpless, but she didn't say much.
"Mr. Zhang, I understand. You must think that I am pro-Japanese..." Han Anlin let out a long breath, "There are no outsiders here. I can speak my mind. What about kissing whom? That's all nonsense! We, the seven of the Han family, Brothers, obviously none of them have the talent of my father. To put it bluntly, the old man will leave tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Marshal Qi will turn Beining into a direct jurisdiction. Do you believe it?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Maybe."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely!" Han Anlin drank the wine in the glass, "And Zheng Butu Gou, if my old man was in his heyday, his tail would have been tucked up long ago. Now that the old man is old, he will do it again and again. Provocation. If the old man is gone, you can imagine what he will do!"
Han Anlin sighed deeply: "I just want to find a way out for our Han family!" Looking at Lu Ming, "I also understand that interacting with Japanese people is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and it will only make Marshal Qi regard us as inferior. A loyal person, but at worst, that's all. What's more, what if the Japanese can protect us?" At this point, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, Mr. Zhang, if it weren't for you Montenegrins, I don't think my judgment would be correct. It’s wrong, but now that you Montenegrins have intervened in the Northern Territory and curbed the expansion of Japanese power, it seems that the idea I gave to my father has turned into a moth flying into the flame."
Lu Ming took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Han Anlin looked at Lu Ming, "What a pity, Mr. Zhang, you and I both know very well that His Royal Highness Prince Heishanbao will not tolerate an independent kingdom under his rule, just like Gao Baoshan, the brigade commander of Nanping Road, treated the prince His Highness's troops entered the Northern Territory and made great contributions, but in the end, didn't they just stand aside?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Gao Baoshan is now a rich man. Isn't it good? The wheel of history is rolling. The rule of large and small emperors in the Northern Territory has long been outdated and is destined to be swept into the garbage of history. Heap, if we don’t take the initiative to make changes, and when the people wake up and some people raise their arms, they may not be able to become rich even if they want to, but they will end up miserable and have a reputation that will last forever, so why bother?”
Han Anlin nodded, "In other words, even if your brother-in-law is here, our Han family is willing to fully help His Highness the Prince. In the end, is it to become a rich man?"
Hearing Han Anlin call "brother-in-law" directly, Han Anni frowned. Seeing the atmosphere of their conversation, she did not interrupt.
Lu Ming smiled: "Then have you ever thought about it, if Japan finally achieves their goal in the Northern Territory, will you brothers be able to continue to be local emperors? I am afraid that this will become a luxury for rich people!"
Han Anlin was silent.
