In mid-April 2019, the case of Zhou Xiubo and others suspected of rape was formally heard in the Wushan Intermediate People's Court.

The first instance was placed in the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, naturally because the case is of serious nature, more complex problems and more widespread impact.

After three consecutive days of trial, the court did not pronounce the verdict in court and would pronounce the verdict publicly on a date.

Some media were allowed to enter the trial site, including national, provincial and local media at Wushan. Various overwhelming reports soon lost the topic of "five-day work system every other week".

In the all-round bombing report of the media, almost all the citizens of Wushan knew about it. The prosecutor suggested that the death penalty be used against the first criminal Zhou Xiubo, and also knew about the various trial details of Zhou Xiubo crying on the spot. Several defendants represented lawyers to attack each other's evil deeds.

In the afternoon of that day, Lu Zheng and Iris appeared in the Nanshan Villa Community.

After the Spring Festival, Iris returned to China for a while and just came back two days ago. Today, her clothes are very friendly and just a floral dress. But in a simple way, this green-eyed Barbie with gorgeous platinum hair becomes more elegant and cute, noble and charming.

The car was parked outside a white wooden fence villa. After getting off the car, Lu Zheng put a parasol on his hand to help Iris block out the dazzling sunshine today, but in fact, it also blocked the possible external gaze.

In the villa courtyard, Pei Xiao and Xiaohua both came out. Before the trial, in order to avoid unnecessary disturbance from Xiaohua, Pei Xiao and Xiaohua moved to the villa from the original residential area.

This small second floor was left by Wei Xiangxiu back then. It is quite close to the Municipal Finance Bureau. Xiaoshuang and Xiaoe have lived here for a long time.

After entering the house, Lu Zheng smiled and said to Xiaohua: "You performed well and are very brave."

Xiaohua's little face shined slightly, and she lowered her head.

During the trial of the Intermediate Court, Xiaohua, as a witness, appeared in court to testify in person, and she did not have to face secondary harm, because she had to insist on appearing in court.

Of course, now, even the defense lawyers of Zhou Xiubo and others dare not use cross-examination skills to attack Xiaohua and reverse the case for Zhou Xiubo and others. The social atmosphere cannot accept this practice.

The victim Xiaohua appeared in court to testify in person, bravely telling the nightmare experience and her miserable past. It is conceivable to the judges. After all, no matter how the leaders above think about disturbing this judgment, a judge with a little conscience has his own thoughts in his heart when facing this situation in court, just look at what is the dominant factor in this scale.

Looking at Xiaohua at this time, Lu Zheng was also very touched and said, "Where is your aunt, I want to invite you to a meal. After this meal, we will turn the past over. What you have to face and consider is your future life."

Pei Xiao kept looking at Iris in surprise. He heard that Lu Zheng was bringing his wife here today, but was it this little girl? She was pretty and noble, blond loli who looked like an angel?

At this time, he heard Lu Zheng's words, but it was confirmed. Pei Xiao was stunned. No wonder Liu Tie was so secretive about the mayor's marriage at home. After asking too much, he hid and said that it was a state secret. This really had to be kept secret, otherwise it would be too sensational. I won't talk about nationality. I am a little too young.

Xiaohua looked around in confusion and did not see "aunt" present. As for the beautiful and cute little foreign girl, Xiaohua thought it was the little niece brought by Uncle Lu and the daughter of her friend.

However, Xiaohua's concern was not here. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle, how will the court judge?"

Before Lu Zheng could speak, the pager rang. He picked it up and looked at it, and apologized: "I'm not going to go there, Iris, please take care of Xiaohua and Xiao for me."

Iris nodded slightly.

It was Lu Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee, who was here for the first time. When he rang the doorbell outside the half-height courtyard wall, Huo Qinqun, who saw Lu Zheng from the window on the living room on the first floor, was also surprised. The little nanny ran out to open the door first, and Huo Qinqun also came to the courtyard to greet him and shook hands with Lu Zheng.

Huo Qinqun's lover, Teacher Jia, had sex before Huo Qinqun came to Wushan. He followed Huo Qinqun to Wushan. He was a Ms. Shu Ya, who was busy making dinner with the babysitter in the kitchen. When he saw Lu Zheng visiting, he was surprised, but he was enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Mayor Lu, I have seen you on TV. Today I am fortunate to witness the true face of Lushan. You are more graceful than on TV."

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, just call me Zhengzi at home, my family calls me that.

Teacher Jia was surprised. Seeing that this person is quite friendly, it is not like the young and arrogant person who said he was young. Perhaps, his wife felt uncomfortable when she was young. However, if this person was really against his wife, his current style could be said to be sweet-mouthed and not a good person.

After looking at the two bottles of foreign wine that the nanny took from Lu Zheng, Teacher Jia smiled and said, "Why, you guys and you guys have some drinks today?"

Lu Zheng glanced at Huo Qinqun and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk to Secretary Huo for a while and then leave." Thinking about Huo Qinqun's mood for a while, it was not a good time to drink and chat with him.

When he ran to his house to find him at dinner time, Huo Qinqun estimated that what Lu Zheng brought was definitely not good news. Sure enough, when he entered the study, Lu Zheng took out a box of small tapes and said, "Come and listen. It is a recorded copy of the judge of the Intermediate Court who tried the Zhou Xiubo case in the Supervision Bureau to report Zhang Shengyu's judicial judgment to the Supervision Bureau. This afternoon, Lei Yongsheng received him and felt that the problem was very serious, so he immediately reported to me." The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau did not have the power to investigate members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Yu Ministry at the Deputy Department level and above. Lei Yongsheng naturally wanted to ask Lu Zheng what to do and whether to report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Huo Qinqun looked at the tape size and said, "There is no such recorder at home."

Lu Zheng put the small tape on the table and said, "Then you listen back. Wei Jiye said that Zhang Sheng talked to him several times, implying that he was lightly sentenced. He also said that in order to improve the professionalism of judges, the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice jointly organized a provincial and municipal-level judge training class. Students who can obtain further study qualifications will be the backbone of local professional judges. Zhang Sheng said that in Wushan, the power to recommend students is in the Political and Legal Committee."

Huo Qinqun frowned slightly: "Zhang Sheng is too unreasonable. I know that he and Zhou Liren, an old party member, have always been able to negotiate, but they didn't expect that they would go to plead with each other."

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "This is not just a matter of slander, it is simply a coercion and temptation. Of course, this is just interpreted according to Wei Jiye's statement. Moreover, the same passage can be interpreted in different environments, so we cannot arbitrarily think that Comrade Zhang Sheng uses his power to judge judicial cases. However, this is also a dangerous signal for him. I hope he can take it as a warning and pay more attention."

Huo Qinqun nodded: "I will listen to what he said tomorrow."

Lu Zheng also said: "There is also the power issue of the Political and Legal Committee. The Political and Legal Committee reflects the Party's leadership over the public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs, but it is just an organizational guidance relationship. Our Wushan Political and Legal Committee has a deep involvement in public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs in administration. For example, the Political and Legal Committee must hold personnel and administrative issues such as the judge's further study class recommending local students. This is inappropriate."

When Lu Zheng was in power in Wushan, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee was just a false statement, and later it was revoked according to the pace of the central government. After the turmoil, the Central Committee restored the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Huo Qinqun was in charge of Wushan. Naturally, he followed the central government's tone. Not only did he re-establish the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, but his authority became increasingly heavy.

At this time, Lu Zheng raised this question, Huo Qinqun looked at Lu Zheng deeply and nodded: "After listening to Zhang Sheng's statement, let's have a meeting to discuss it."

Lu Zheng then stood up and said goodbye. Huo Qinqun sent him out of the yard. After returning, his face was very low. Even the little nanny saw something strange and hid in the kitchen, not daring to wander in front of him.

After leaving the Standing Committee, Lu Zheng drove home directly, but he didn't expect that after he got home, he realized that Iris had not come back yet, and it should be his dinner with Pei Xiao and Xiaohua.

Iris was not at home, and Lu Zheng immediately felt that the sky was wide and he was relaxed. Louise came to ask Lu Zheng what to eat. She waved her hand lazily against Lu Zheng who was lying on the sofa: "Let's eat steak, fry a few more pieces." Louise's fried steak is very delicious.

Who knew that Louise brought a menu, which was divided into set A and set H and set Louise said: "Miss told me that if you don't have dinner, choose from this menu, because you have eaten meat at noon, so it's best to be lighter for dinner."

Lu Zheng took the menu and looked at it. The most delicious meal was the set menu, including scrambled eggs with black truffles, vegetable salads, drinks, etc. Maybe he went to too many places this afternoon and was hungry and wanted to eat some meat. In addition, Iris was not there, Lu Zheng was very brave and waved his hand and said, "If you ask you to fry steak, fry steak."

"But..." Louise wanted to say it, and Lu Zheng frowned: "Don't, listen to me, and when Iris comes back, just say the fruit set I eat."

Louise's deep light blue eyes with mixed-blood characteristics showed surprise. Naturally, Lu Zheng would ask her to lie to the lady. After a while, Louise said softly and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at her graceful back, Lu Zhengxin said that it seemed that he had bet the right treasure. His mother is Chinese and has lived in the East for a long time. Louise can inherit some of the traditional idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority. In this family, her status as a male master can still be affirmed in her eyes. If the maids who have been following Iris, they are afraid that after they finish speaking, they will have to call Iris to report to Iris.

Just as I was thinking, the pager suddenly rang. Lu Zheng picked it up and saw it was stunned, "Uncle: I live with Sister Chunzi now, right downstairs, Apartment 1407, hehe." The signature is "Ms. Bai".

Xiao E? Live with Chunzi? Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, picked up the phone and dialed the number of Chunzi's apartment. The phone number there was soon answered. It was indeed the sweet voice of the little girl: "Uncle, Sister Chunzi and I have found a lot of houses, but it is not good. I think it's too expensive for the Mingzhu Hotel. I can't stay for a few nights a month, and I have to pay the whole month's money, which is too wasteful. Later, Sister Chunzi said that her home is very big and she lives alone. I happened to move here to be her company. I can still learn something from Sister Chunzi during the vacation, so I moved here."

Lu Zheng was stunned and stunned. Since he accepted the fact that the little girl became his lover through ideological struggle, Lu Zheng could feel in his heart that he seemed to have gone through some shackles. Not only men and women, but many things seemed to have returned to the mentality of his previous life. He was also not a saint, but he devoted himself to this world of fame and fortune. In order to promote good, he seemed to have to learn evil first. In the repeated power competitions, from a certain perspective, he had done a lot of evil things. Thinking about his ambition when he was just reborn, he could only sigh in his heart.

However, although he calmly accepted the fact that he was still not a good person after he was reborn, his little lover lived downstairs in his house. Thinking about this, Iris was actually very guilty of being kind to him.
