I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 137 The most ridiculous defense lawyer in history

[In the previous chapter, a reader raised an objection. I thought about the opinion and felt that what he said made sense, so I made some changes. If you can't follow the plot of this chapter, go back and read the previous chapter again.]

To be honest, it is a bit embarrassing for a county-level government office to fall to the level of a weak ninth rank.

If there were a tenth rank, or even lower, I believe that with the hundred or so people in Chen Yaozu's office now, it would be good enough to be rated as a fifteenth or sixteenth rank!
But it just so happens that the weakest rank in the imperial court during the Ming Dynasty was the ninth rank. Even the ninth rank was better than his weak ninth rank!

After reading the hint from the amulet, Chen Yaozu had some feeling that this Xuanwei Office should also have a different fortune!
So, they walked out along the way, accompanied by a group of fiercely trained guardians, and went straight to the gate of the yamen, then looked back.

[Ming Dynasty North American Xuanwei Office:, there are less than a hundred people under its command, but the structure of each position is complete and can operate normally.

Within the jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Division, the luck of all people will increase, their physical fitness will be enhanced, reading and literacy will also be helpful, and practicing Taoism, martial arts and medicine will be as if they have divine help. 】

So general?
Can't there be data display?
What does it mean to increase, enhance, help, and be assisted?
How much will it increase? How much will it enhance?
There is a number for this!

Hearing his complaints, the amulet in my mind flashed with imperceptible fluctuations along with his thoughts.

【Ming Xuanweisi Yamen (North America)
The basic official structure is complete and can function normally.

level:

There are less than a hundred people, and the government regards them as weak and of the ninth rank, which is an extremely low rank. It is suggested to find ways to increase the number of people.

(In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are all kinds of chieftains in the lands of Yun, Myanmar and Siam, many of whom have no rank, and many of whom have rank.

But if you want to have quality, you must have people.

The jurisdiction of a ninth-rank yamen should include a thousand households and more than five thousand people.

The ninth rank should have 3,000 households and more than 15,000 people.

There should be 5,000 households and 25,000 people in the eighth rank.

The eighth rank should have 8,000 households and more than 40,000 people.

A seventh-rank official should have 10,000 households and 50,000 people. During the Zhengtong period, a weak county in the Ming Dynasty had such a population.

A genuine county should have 20,000 households and 100,000 people!
This meets the lowest county-level seventh-rank standard of the Xuanweisi Yamen!

Not to mention that the Xuanweisi Yamen in overseas areas is of lower rank than that in the mainland, and has more people under its jurisdiction!)
If the people in the jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment and the people are supportive, the fortune of the government will become more abundant.

Although the current shortage of population has resulted in the government's luck being low, it is still considered to be of the ninth rank.

The people will also benefit from the luck of the Ninth Rank Yamen:

physical fitness
In the area under the jurisdiction of the Xuanweisi Yamen, the general physical fitness increased by 1% and the immunity was improved.

Reading and literacy
All learning and comprehension within the jurisdiction of the Xuanweisi Yamen will have a 1% luck bonus, and your writing will be as if inspired by God!
Practicing Taoism, martial arts and medicine
Practicing Taoism emphasizes spiritual comprehension, which is superimposed on the learning comprehension ability gained from reading and literacy. The more superior and more auspicious the environment, the better the comprehension.

Therefore, the increase in Taoism within the jurisdiction of the Xuanweisi Yamen is very large, increasing the luck bonus in the direction of Taoism by 10%.

Practicing martial arts also requires the ability to comprehend.

But it is more about body coordination and recovery ability, which are superimposed with the effect of increased physical fitness in the jurisdiction. Body coordination and recovery ability will also be superimposed, and practicing martial arts will increase the luck bonus by 10%.

Learning medical skills also requires extremely high comprehension abilities.

Due to the superior learning environment and the encouragement of the court's responsibility for people's livelihood, studying medicine in the Xuanweisi area has an 11% luck bonus.

Increase the number of people under the jurisdiction of the government as soon as possible and boost public morale.

This place will one day become a holy place for people in the Ming Dynasty to study, practice Taoism, practice martial arts, and learn medicine.

The heavens are bright and the day will be prosperous tomorrow! 】

God damn, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, let alone the Ming Dynasty, even the Qing Dynasty is gone!
Chen Yaozu complained in his mind, but was still shocked that a Xuanweisi government office had so many benefits.

The small square outside the government hall, which served as a martial arts training ground, was now filled with the sounds of monkeys howling and tigers howling.

Dozens of people who were practicing the Five Animals Guiding Technique in a state of unity between man and nature had entered into sudden enlightenment. They felt powerful with every move of their hands and feet, and from time to time someone even made the air explode.

Use your fists and feet... to make the air explode...

This even shocked the second generation of Tian!

Are they all ordinary people?

Tian sighed and explained to him: "Husband, you missed a great opportunity!

Somewhere deep in my heart, there was a voice telling me.

For ordinary ghosts like us, this opportunity for cultivation is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a hundred years, let alone ten thousand years.

The key points they have learned in one day are equivalent to more than ten years of practice.

For monks, this is an opportunity that is hard to come by!
After all, it is the unity of heaven and man!"

Tian Erdai sighed in his heart, turned around to look at his wife with a rosy face, and suddenly asked, "What about you?

Isn't there a chance for this epiphany?"

Tian Fangfei replied: "Yes, all colleagues who join the government office today have this opportunity.

After getting the appointment, I had an idea.

Now that I have an official body, I can try to use the official energy to cultivate the ghost body, so that I can become a ghost or god.

Therefore, I am very grateful to the Heavenly Master for giving me this opportunity.

Also because of this opportunity, we can see that the Master of the Seal really has great supernatural powers!
No wonder your father-in-law and his family asked for such a..."

Such a job, but you rejected it...

Tian didn't say the rest, but Tian Erdai knew what it meant. He took a deep breath and whispered to his wife, "Just do what you should do. Don't waste this rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years.

I'm fine!
What belongs to me is mine, and what doesn’t belong to me is useless even if I force it!
I want to talk to that Taoist priest!"

It would be a lie to say that he had no regrets, but he was a rather free and easy-going person by nature. Besides, it was too late to regret now. Since it was too late, he would not dwell on it any more but would go find Chen Yaozu openly.

"Mr. Chen, you have caused me so much trouble!"

As soon as he found the person, Tian Erdai, who had just finished bowing, started to complain shamelessly: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? It was agreed that you would give me this opportunity.

This is also my fault. I didn't know the truth and became more alert than I should have!

Missed this opportunity!"

He doesn't care about it, but he still wants to fight for it if he can.

He is thick-skinned and eats his fill. He is the son of an official who hangs out in the circle of married women all day long. If he wasn't thick-skinned, he wouldn't be able to get ahead!

After sending Audrey, who was feeling a little aggrieved, to the car and watching her leave, Chen Yaozu was also slowly practicing the Five Animals Guiding Technique.

However, his current state of mind was different from that of many of the guardian disciples inside. There were not too many sounds of deer, apes, and tigers, and even his movements were not swift. He just seemed to move and be still lazily.

It looks like tigers, deer, bears, monkeys and birds are full and are taking a leisurely walk, but everything is very natural.

He did not use this opportunity to achieve unity between man and nature. He planned to wait until he was convinced through meditation, then try to use this opportunity to see what enlightenment he would gain.

At this time, Tian Erdai came and disturbed his interest in practicing boxing, so he stopped, turned back and smiled.

“As the saying goes, a doctor doesn’t knock on the door, and the truth is not easily passed on!

I've given you the opportunity, but you don't cherish it. I can't force it on you!
In Journey to the West, it is said that the Buddha also said, "The scriptures should not be passed on lightly, nor should they be taken empty-handed." Even an ordinary monk who chanted scriptures for people only received three dou and three liters of rice grains of gold, and he thought that this price was too low.

The opportunity I give you is also like this!"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Erdai's eyes lit up: "You mean, as long as the price I offer is reasonable, there is still a chance!"

Chen Yaozu smiled and nodded: "You can understand it this way!
However, the price you have to offer cannot be money, because I still have some money, and money is not difficult to earn.

But what you give must be what I need!

So, whether you still have the opportunity to enter the government office and work with us depends on you!"

After saying that, Chen Yaozu turned around and walked back inside. It can't be the price of money...

Tian Erdai felt that this was a bit difficult for him, so he pondered for the whole morning. It was not until noon when some people woke up from the state of unity between man and nature that he had some ideas.

Although the boxing and kicking skills of some people who have woken up may not improve too terribly in a short period of time, after all, the physical condition needs to be trained slowly and imperceptibly to become stronger in an orderly manner.

But the understanding of the Five Animals Daoyin Technique is not limited to physical conditions, so their gains may be deeper than what one would gain from studying it for five to ten years.

But the consequence is...exhaustion and hunger!
Chen Yaozu was well prepared for this!
He had already asked the Fuqing Gang to prepare lunch for 200 people and send it over. These fifty or sixty people had practiced for the entire morning and had improved their kung fu skills, but now they were probably so hungry that they could eat a cow.

Yesterday’s leftovers are obviously not enough!

What gave Tian Erdai an idea was that the pickup truck full of lunch driven by the Fuqing Gang's younger brother whizzed past the side of the road outside, then turned back a few times in confusion, but couldn't find the place.

Finally, a call was made to the person who had woken up from the state of unity between man and nature. After that person found Chen Yaozu, the delivery boy finally found this place.

Hiss... It's right in front of me, but I can't see this place without calling?

Tian Erdai then remembered that someone had mentioned something like that yesterday. A few Mexicans came to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of steel bars and cement and the machines he had purchased for Mr. Chen. As a result, three vehicles circled the construction site for an entire night but were unable to get out...

The standard feature of the legendary mythological world, barrier?
Peach Blossom Spring?

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that he had found his blind spot.

Besides, he remembered something else.

He used to think that Chen Yaozu opened a feed factory and provided 200 jobs in order to invest and get a green card.

But now he knows that it is not for the green card, but for practice.

He wanted to provide jobs for his believers who were about to go bankrupt due to natural disasters.

Believers, Work...

Maybe this is my breakthrough point!
For many people, even if they know the breakthrough point, they may not be able to come up with a satisfactory solution.

But, he, Tian Hao, can!

Behind him is his father, and behind his father is a mountain, a mountain higher than Mount Everest.

So he picked up his phone again and woke up his sleeping parents. After all, it was noon here, but it was night in China.

Knowing that there was a time difference between the two places and that the son was his own, his father did not get angry when he got up.

However, when Tianda II told him everything he had seen and heard in detail, he fell silent.

In the end, all he could say was, “Don’t worry, let me find someone to research it first!
The bigger the matter, the more cautious you need to be. You have already lost one chance, so you can't mess it up the second time!

Since we have chosen you to contact us, we must give you enough help!
Even if it's just an advisor!
Okay, your task now is to watch more, talk less, and wait for our research results!

By the way, if you have any information, please provide us with it in time, so that the research results will not be inappropriate!"

Why should he sleep at this time? He just got up and called someone in the middle of the night without caring about the fact that it was related to his son's future, so he just had to forget about sleeping.

After Tian Erdai finished his meal, his wife Tian also woke up from her understanding of the unity of man and nature, and came to his side with a happy face.

“My dear, the sudden enlightenment in the state of unity between heaven and man is really useful!
I have now completely integrated the official energy in my body into my ghost body. If I encounter any demons in the future, as long as their strength is not several times greater than mine, I can suppress them and defeat them!"

Then she carefully looked around, and then quietly leaned close to Tian Erdai's ear and said mischievously: "It's good to practice with the government behind your back, husband. When the people under our government reach a certain size, maybe you will sleep with a ghost fairy in the future!!!"

This kind of natural charm made Tian Erdai feel half numb. Fortunately, she was his wife and was not here to harm him, otherwise he felt he could not control himself.

But in the midst of the tingling sensation in his heart, he suddenly caught a bright spot!
"You mean, the number of people under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Office, that is, the number of common people, will affect your cultivation strength or results, right?"

Tian nodded obediently: "This is the way of ghost immortals that I have realized!
The more people the government manages within its jurisdiction, the stronger their sense of belonging will be, and the more beneficial it will be to my practice.

If there were a hundred or a thousand times more people here, I'm afraid it wouldn't take long for my ghost immortal cultivation to show results."

Tian Erdai caught the inspiration and quickly asked: "Wife, are other people like this too?
For example, Mr. Chen, the Master of the Seal, does he also need people to practice?"

Tian smiled and shook his head:

"I am only saying that the way of Ghost Immortal that I have realized is to practice in this way. As for whether other people practice in the same way, I don't know!
Husband, what's wrong, what did you think of? "

As soon as the question came out, Tian Erdai, who was stunned in front of him, suddenly stood up, picked her up and spun her around: "You have a good wife at home, you have a good wife at home!

Thank you, wife!"

He remembered this, but did not harass the old man at home. He was sleeping well in the middle of the night, so why was he kept being woken up by himself?

He specially went to find a pen and paper, wrote down the questions that came to his mind, and kept them in his pocket very carefully.

In the afternoon, after everyone had woken up from their epiphany and had eaten and drunk their fill, the court officially began and the Mexicans were brought to the court.

Chen Yaozu decided that there was no need to make the criminals kneel down, and just let them stand.

As the prefect, Wenzhou Yu was responsible for prosecuting the six Mexicans in front of him.

"Report to the Envoy:

Six Mexicans, including Reese Haalands, Moff Gesiare, Juan Perez, etc., armed with guns and grenades, drove a car, a truck, and a truck equipped with a loading crane, broke into our warehouse illegally, and stole machines and steel bars and cement worth millions of dollars.

The following is evidence including guns and grenades seized from six suspects, as well as three vehicles and machines worth nearly a million that had been loaded into the vehicles.

Now, our prosecutors have filed public prosecutions against six suspects for violating serious criminal laws, namely, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, illegal possession of explosives, and theft of a large amount of property from others.

Illegal possession of firearms is stipulated in Article 128 of the Criminal Law. Illegal possession of firearms shall be punished by imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control; in serious cases, imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.
Illegal possession of explosives is stipulated in Article 125 of the Criminal Law, which is punishable by fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; if the circumstances are serious, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment or death penalty.

Stealing other people's property in huge amounts falls under the provisions of Article 264 of the Criminal Law: If the amount of theft of public or private property is huge or there are other serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.

According to relevant judicial interpretations, theft of public or private property worth more than RMB 30,000 to RMB 100,000 should be considered a huge amount.

The three crimes are punished together and the circumstances are serious.

We will now bring charges against the six suspects and request that they be sentenced to life imprisonment!"

life imprisonment?

Some old Mexicans were dumbfounded!

They are veterans. How can there be such severe punishment in America? There was no injury, no theft, so how could the sentence for illegal possession of firearms be so severe?
Tian Erdai couldn't help but shake his head. It was unprofessional, too unprofessional!
This is clearly the work of a makeshift team!

How can there be such a prosecution?
you do not say!

For Wenzhou Yu, asking a knifeman to do the job of a prosecutor, what's the difference between this and forcing Zhang Fei to embroider?
"I disagree. Purchasing a handgun without a safety certificate is a misdemeanor in California, punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $6, or both.

Even if I had a rifle and grenades, it wouldn’t be a life sentence!
No matter how serious it is, it will not last more than ten years, and may not even last more than five years!
I want a defense, I want a lawyer, I want to apply for legal defense..."

The oldest Mexican man suddenly raised his shackled hands and started yelling.

Legal defense?

lawyer?

To be honest, according to what is shown in the TV series, if there was a suspect in the Ming Dynasty who was so stubborn, shouldn't he be picked up and beaten with twenty sticks first?

To be honest, this is Chen Yaozu’s first time trying a case, and he’s feeling very excited!
Moreover, it seems that according to convention, if the defendant in court does not have a defense lawyer, he or she must provide free assistance lawyer to the other party.

He looked left and right, and suddenly his eyes fell on Tian Erdai who had just sneered.

"Tian Hao, I now declare that you are the first lawyer in the jurisdiction of the Ming Xuanwei Division.

Now, this parish appoints you to defend the six suspects in front of you!"

what!
Tian Erdai never thought that he would have anything to do with a defense lawyer.

Is this such a child's play?

I'm not a legal professional at all!
Tian suddenly reached out and poked him, whispering, "Hurry up and agree to it. You've missed it once, do you want to miss it a second time?"
