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

Chapter 138: Wenzhou Fish is a little caught off guard

Since his wife said so, it would be stupid if Tian Erdai didn’t seize this opportunity.

But since I have decided to take on this job, I obviously cannot be careless.

Because from the performance of his wife, that Chen Tianshi, and those who have become minor officials or yamen runners, it can be seen that this official position has its benefits, but obviously one must be competent.

After all, this is the foundation of enlightenment. Obviously, there are certain rules for each person’s position. If you do not follow these rules, you may not be able to benefit from them.

This lawyer, who I don't know where he came from, was called a lawyer in the Ming Dynasty. Although he was not an official, he should have some benefits.

Therefore, we must never be careless.

With an idea in mind, he hurried forward and bowed slightly like the others, clasping his fists: "Since the envoy has given the order, Tian Hao, it is better to obey than to be respectful!
Since Tian Hao has accepted the job of a lawyer, he must fulfill his duties!

First, I want to make three things clear.”

Everyone present was very satisfied when they saw his serious expression. Even the Mexicans felt more relieved after seeing his serious expression, although they could not understand what he said because it was not in English.

But the judge in the court just now heard my defense and allowed and even assigned a lawyer to me. Obviously, he was a reasonable man.

This made them feel much more at ease, even though this lawyer was not hired by them.

Chen Yaozu's mind at this moment was not on Tian Erdai, but on the official seal in front of him.

Because, above the official seal, four small words suddenly appeared: [Procedure Compliant].

Then I felt that the color of my official seal looked a little better.

In other words, the novel idea of ​​assigning Tian Erdai as the defense lawyer to the suspects in front of him just now happened to meet the main conditions for the trial.

Since even the trial has to follow procedures, it would be difficult for him to refuse Tian Erdai's request now. After all, your defense lawyer has already put forward his opinions, so you have to listen to what he has to say!

"Lawyer Tian, ​​please speak!"

Tian Hao got the permission, smiled, and finally asked the first question: "Envoy, what I want to ask is whether my status is temporary or formal.

Is it for temporary use now, or may it be used in the future?

After all, as you know, temporary workers and regular workers sometimes have different authorities!

And this authority sometimes has a great impact on the outcome of the case! "

Chen Yaozu nodded, he understood, this kid was taking advantage of the situation to ask for his identity!
Of course, there was no such formal position in the Ming Dynasty’s government offices. In fact, like the three shifts of yamen runners, they were not official employees of the court.

However, in ancient times, there was of course a role similar to that of a lawyer in lawsuits, that is, the lawyer.

This role also requires an identity, and it also needs to be recognized by the government. Not every scholar is qualified to do this.

The duties of a lawyer include drafting lawsuits, interpreting the law, assisting the parties in their defense, etc. They played an important role in ancient judicial system, providing legal knowledge and professional assistance to the parties so that they can better safeguard their rights and interests.

“Since you asked seriously, I’ll give you an identity!
From today on, you are the lawyer in charge of defending criminals in the Xuanwei Office of the Ming Dynasty.

This is your identification document!"

So Chen Yaozu wrote a document of recognition with great fanfare, acknowledging Tian Hao as a lawyer within the jurisdiction of the [Ming Dynasty North America Xuanwei Office] and stamped it with his official seal.

If before this, Tian Erdai had no idea what his wife meant by official aura, now he knew.

From the moment the document fell into his hand, he suddenly had an illusion that within the lobby of this yamen, a majestic, solemn and dignified atmosphere began to approach him, falling on the document in his hand, and by the way, on himself.

Although this breath was small, it brought him peace of mind and a sense of heaviness on his soul. It helped him reduce a little the oppression he had felt since entering this courtroom, and even helped him fight against the oppressive feeling that this place had brought to his soul.

This is what is meant by right and proper, right? "So what is your second thing?"

After giving him his identity documents, Chen Yaozu gestured for him to make his second request.

After his soul was blessed with his identity, Tian Erdai, who had confirmed his thoughts, became less cautious in his words and spoke more seriously:

"Envoy, the second thing is that I want to confirm whether the laws applicable to these prisoners are the laws of America or the laws of the East, or just the Eastern Criminal Code in your hand!"

Chen Yaozu had only one answer to this question: "Within the jurisdiction of the Ming Xuanwei Office, the current regulations are being enforced according to the criminal code you brought from the East.

Maybe there will be more in the future, but obviously not now!"

In fact, we could have added a Public Security Punishment Law, but when the little Taoist priest came here last time and escaped from the Tian family, the Public Security Administration Punishment Law was confiscated by the FB I.

Maybe after some time!
Anyway, there are not many people now and it is not necessary. We can make up for it slowly when the time comes!

After getting his answer, Tian Erdai continued to put forward his third request: "Envoy, this is it!

I was not a law major before, and this time I was assigned this position temporarily.

If you want me to defend these suspects in this court with such unprofessional skills, you might as well just sentence them directly!

Most importantly, I have not yet understood the ins and outs of this case and the various details, so I cannot defend myself.

If I am not given the time to familiarize myself with the case and ask for details, it would be a great disrespect to the suspect's legal rights.

How about this, let's adjourn the court for an hour, let me review the law and understand the situation, and then resume the court session!
This request is not too much to ask, right? "

This made perfect sense, and Chen Yaozu was speechless and had to agree!
"Okay, your request is reasonable. I'll adjourn the court for now. I'll give you two hours!
We'll be hearing the case in two hours!"

Tian Erdai bowed slightly: "Thank you, envoy!"

Chen Yaozu also smiled and nodded, but he did not nod to Tian Erdai, but gave himself a nod of approval.

Because on the official seal, the four words "procedural compliance" appeared again, and the way of being an official was easily mastered by me!

Be proud!
However, he finally remembered to take a closer look at his official seal.

At first glance, it seems that there are rivers on the seal of the yamen.

When looking more closely, there was no river at all. There was clearly only a government office with some people and an empty construction site, and the luck of this area was so thin that it was almost invisible.

Wenzhou Yu was a little puzzled: "Master Zhangyin, it is legal to shoot and kill these bandits who trespassed into our private territory with guns in America.

Why do we have to make it so cumbersome and complicated!
To a not-so-professional defense lawyer?"

The other people in the court probably thought the same thing. Since the result would be the same, why bother?
Just collapse!

As for releasing those Mexicans, that's impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, the fate of these old Mexicans was doomed, either they were killed or imprisoned.

Chen Yaozu thought about it and asked everyone except Wenzhou Yu to leave.

I decided to reveal a little bit of my thoughts to him: "Perhaps, the path I am practicing now carries the cause and effect of your accomplishments.

It is to enforce our laws on the land of America!"
