What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 902: Chapter 290 Old Tang: Hurry up and start arguing!_3

The staff nodded and then left.

The same situation also occurred at the City Appearance Management Office. It had been so long since the creation of the health campaign, and they didn’t expect that it would be dug up by someone now.

During the health campaign, they had a lot of power, but after it ended, it was just as it is.

They could only send someone to attend the mediation, all with the same idea: if you can pass the buck, do so!

It’s not about the money; the key is the fear of negative impact.

Amidst this atmosphere, time quietly advanced to the next day.

Today was a sunny day with bright sunlight. Old Tang got up and looked at the calendar.

Suitable: Death penalty suspension, life sentence, divorce.

Avoid: Acquittal, no charge.

Something seems a bit odd today, as if something inexplicable has been mixed in.

Could there be a twist today?

No, I’m not a fortune teller, so things should still proceed normally.

After washing up and leaving the house, Old Tang wondered if Liu Qiaoqiao had received her compensation from the court yet. She was criminally detained for more than ten days, arrested, and then released on bail by the court after about five months.

The daily compensation amount announced by the state this year is 460.3 yuan, so it is almost seventy thousand yuan in total.

It sounds like quite a lot, but you have to know, Liu Qiaoqiao lived in the Detention Center for five months!

The conditions there were not good; after five months, one becomes disoriented, and now she has to take medication in her daily life.

With these thoughts, Old Tang took a taxi to the Anping District Court.

“Hello, Judge Liu, I’m already at the entrance. The mediation room is on the second floor, room 205, right? I’ll be right up!”

After passing the security check, he went up to the second floor and found the mediation room, which was a conference room; it appeared they had chosen this larger room due to the number of people expected today.

It doesn’t matter, he found a suitable spot to sit down, and then he started watching a movie on the system panel.

After a good while, someone finally came in.

He saw some familiar faces, like Director Hu from the sub-district office and Liu Xiaoqi, a witness he had seen in the Intermediate Court during the retrial.

There was also someone he didn’t recognize.

As soon as Director Hu came in and saw Old Tang, he smiled and said, “Lawyer Tang, you’re already here. Let me introduce you, this is our office director, Director Wang.”

“This is from before…”

“From the previous enforcement team, the grid member Liu Xiaoqi, am I right?” Old Tang interjected.

Liu Xiaoqi looked at the other party and nodded; she didn’t expect that after only one encounter, Lawyer Tang still remembered her.

Director Wang was a somewhat chubby middle-aged man, very pale, with a smile always on his face. He sat down and began to chat amiably with Old Tang.

“Lawyer Tang, it’s really troublesome for you. We actually want to settle this matter as soon as possible, but there’s no way; this money, if reported up, will make the finance department curse…”

“So we have only this choice…”

As he was speaking, the door was pushed open again, and upon seeing the person entering, Director Wang immediately stood up and said, “Director Meng!”

Director Meng of the city management bureau came in with Qi Baoyan, both of whom had the air of leadership.

“Director Wang is also here. Can we start now?”

“We have to wait a bit longer; the judge hasn’t arrived yet. This is Tang Fangjing, Lawyer Tang,” introduced Director Wang.

Director Meng actually dislikes dealing with such people, but he had no choice at the moment. He stepped forward, reaching out his hand and said, “You are Lawyer Tang, right? Hello.”

Old Tang reached out and shook his hand; he was quite good at observing protocol when it came to mediation.

Finally, the representative from the City Appearance Management Office arrived, along with the judge.

“Everyone is here, right? Then let’s start. This matter is actually not a big deal; Lawyer Tang’s demand is simply a hundred thousand yuan. You three parties see…”

Presiding Judge Wang Hao, who was responsible for the mediation today, began to speak.

Not many people want to take on Tang Fangjing’s case; they all found it to be troublesome.

In ordinary cases, what the judge says is what goes, and few dare to argue with the judge.

Even the most daring only go as far to make a few comments or raise an objection.

But Tang Fangjing is different. If the judge does not speak correctly, he can truly make you lose face!

The key is that his arguments are all legally based; there’s no arguing with him!

So Wang Hao’s idea was to try to mediate if possible, and only if that fails, then proceed further.

A hundred thousand is not a lot; none of these three organizations would take that amount seriously.

Just then, Old Tang spoke up, “That Judge Wang, I need to clarify that my demand is indeed simple: a hundred thousand yuan, and then the administrative agency that acted illegally needs to issue a public apology. Just these two points.”

Huh? Wang Hao was slightly startled, but before he could respond, Qi Baoyan from the urban management side spoke up, “I also need to clarify that although it was a joint operation, we were assisting the sub-district office. The enforcement was led by the sub-district office.”

“In the inspection team, I was the only one from the urban management bureau, all to support their work…”

Old Tang couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this; this was exactly the effect he wanted. He was not only demanding a public apology from the other side but also intending to release a video later.

He did not believe the leaders of these three units would all accept that, so there would definitely be some passing the buck.

But he didn’t expect the city management bureau to react so quickly; there was no need for him to instigate as they were already trying to shift the blame onto others.

So, Old Tang silently began to enjoy the spectacle.

Here, Director Wang of the sub-district office was feeling somewhat overwhelmed, “Comrade Qi Baoyan, it was a joint operation at that time, and we did it together. What does it mean that you were only participating? Does that imply we took the lead?”

Originally, the idea was for everyone to cooperate and settle the hundred thousand yuan, sign a mediation agreement, and let the matter rest, but who would have thought they would start passing the buck right out of the gate!

The staff member from the City Appearance Management Office spoke up, “At that time, the leader of the inspection team was Director Fang from the sub-district office, right? Then, of course, we have to listen to the leading official…”

Director Wang: “???”
