Chapter 1065: Chapter 345: Help Ningtang County Hit the Trending Searches!_3
There was no need to choose an auspicious day; he went straight to the filing office to submit the application.
Re-opening a case based on new evidence like this doesn’t have much of an impact on the court, so even if he weren’t Tang Fangjing, the re-trial would still proceed smoothly.
In what kind of cases would a re-trial be difficult to initiate, even with new evidence? The answer is: “cases involving imdiate execution of the death penalty.”
If the person is already dead, overturning the case to declare them innocent would be a monuntal hassle. Who knows how many people would have to be held accountable.
A few days after the application was submitted, the Interdiate Court made a decision: the case would be re-tried by the Ningtang County People’s Court!
At the Ningtang County Court, Xiao Wenzheng had been in a bad mood lately.
Even though things seed calm for now, it was only because the storm hadn’t broken yet. Knowing Tang Fangjing’s way of doing things, if he said he would release sothing online, then he absolutely would. No one, not even a higher authority, could stop him.
When that happened, Xiao was 100% sure he’d lose his position—after all, he was the person in charge.
But when would Tang Fangjing finish what he ca here to do? What exactly was he doing in Ningtang County?
No one could quite figure it out. Tang Fangjing’s actions seed bizarre—had he really traveled all this way just to send a retired official to jail over a public fund misuse case?
It didn’t quite add up. While Tang Fangjing was known for doing outrageous things, frankly speaking, cases of public fund misuse used to be rampant.
If he wanted to crack down on it, he could’ve found plenty to work on right there in Handong. Why bother coming all the way to this backwater county where not even birds would stop?
Just as he was thinking about this, soone ca to report.
“You’re saying the Interdiate Court designated us to re-try Lu Jianshe’s false accusation and entrapnt case? Wait a second, that na—Lu Jianshe—it does ring a bell…”
Xiao Wenzheng imdiately recalled. He had co across this false accusation case before, but hadn’t looked too deeply into it.
Now it all made sense—everything Tang Fangjing had been doing, including sending Qin Mingsheng to prison, seed to be about this case!
Ah, it all clicked. Everything beca clear.
But considering Tang Fangjing’s abilities, if he wanted to overturn this case, it didn’t seem necessary to go to such great lengths…
After all, this was a case from many years ago. Back then, most cases heavily relied on confessions, and given the notoriety of the individuals involved, overturning it shouldn’t have been that difficult.
Or was it, as the online rumors suggested, that Tang Fangjing had an obsession—a habit of sending people to prison as part of his cases? What used to sound like a joke now seed alarmingly true!
But knowing was one thing; escaping was impossible. There was no way around it…
The re-trial proceeded smoothly; the facts and evidence were solid, and the County Procuratorate supported declaring Lu Jianshe not guilty.
And so, on a sunny day, in the Criminal Court of Ningtang County, Lu Jianshe stood at the applicant’s stand, his face visibly emotional as the verdict was read.
Finally, finally, he would be declared innocent. For all these years, carrying the burden of a criminal record had made everything he did difficult.
But after what he went through back then, he had grown timid and didn’t dare say much about it.
Why had he beco so timid? Well, everyone knew what the investigative thods were like in those years. It wasn’t surprising that his personality would change after being released.
Most importantly, his son could finally pursue what he truly loved to do!
In the gallery, Lu Jianshe’s son was equally emotional. Although he had failed the civil service background check once before, now he could try again because his father was no criminal anymore. This ant everything to him.
He had unwavering confidence in this!
As the not-guilty verdict was announced, Lu Jianshe couldn’t stop himself from crying. Even before the Judge concluded, he went straight to Old Tang, knelt down, and began kowtowing.
Because in a certain sense, Old Tang had truly changed his life.
He had only hoped to be declared innocent, but he hadn’t expected to get back every penny that had been taken from him years ago.
Old Tang quickly stepped forward to help him up, smiling as he said, “No need to get so worked up. We have to wait for the Judge to finish the procedures before you can walk out of here, you know?”
Wiping away his tears, Lu Jianshe returned to the applicant’s stand and stood tall. All the while, the Judge reading the verdict above seed to act as though he saw nothing.
It was all over. Walking out of the courthouse, the first thing Lu Jianshe wanted to do was treat everyone to a al—he had to!
The money wasn’t the point. Even though Old Tang was being paid as a lawyer for his work, in this case, he really was a savior!
Of course, Old Tang had to accept the invitation. After all, with Qin Mingsheng going to prison, they had to celebrate properly.
Early the next morning, Old Tang silently checked out of his room and headed straight back to Jingzhou.
Finally, it was ti to open the box of evidence he had gathered on this trip. He had accumulated plenty of material.
Ningtang County had likely never made it to the trending topics before, but no worries—this ti, Old Tang would help it get there.
Whether it was the retired official Qin Mingsheng or the local workplace and reform situations, there was simply too much to talk about in this video…
