If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 218 Ask the canal how clear it is, so that there is a source of living water! (Three-in-one monthly pass plus updates)

Faced with the terrifying amount of compensation mentioned by Zhou Cheng, the old man panicked and was no longer as rogue and arrogant as before.

There was nothing wrong with his body anymore. He stood up and begged:
"I'm fine. You didn't bump into me. I just...just came out for a walk."

The old man said and wanted to go back.

Zhou Cheng stopped him:

"You want to leave now? So it turns out whether we hit you or not depends entirely on your words?"

"You don't understand the Dharma, but I understand the Dharma. This matter must be made clear today."

"Otherwise, I don't know who else you would attack!"

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, the old man had a grimace on his face. He didn't dare to leave, and he didn't dare to stay.

Seeing him like this, the audience in the live broadcast room was relieved.

"Haha, did you mention the iron plate?"

"You also said that this is the first time you have done this kind of thing. It's not like you are just pretending to be proficient."

"Judge, we recommend a strict investigation."

"No reason can constitute a reason for breaking the law. There are still difficulties, bah!"

"This is how it should be treated! Stop talking, the program team, call the police!"

"Judge Zhou is upright, but he can be manipulated by a bad guy like you? He deserves it!"

"What Zhou Cheng said makes sense. If you let him go this time, he might blackmail others again in the future. Don't let it be so easy!"

"Sit back and wait to be arrested!"

"..."

Not only the viewers in the live broadcast room felt relieved, but the four children present also smiled.

Wu Peng clasped his hands on his chest and exhaled through his nose:
"Humph, are you scared now? It's too late!"

Zhou Zicheng glanced at the old man, smiled and whispered:

"I learned it, I learned it. The two judges sang in unison and won easily."

Sun Wei looked ahead coldly and said in relief:
"Playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong - overestimating one's own capabilities."

"Now that the matter has been exposed, you are still trying to whitewash the peace!"

"It's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and why I have so many difficulties... Believe me!"

After finishing speaking, the three children looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with joy.

Only Zhang Yunshu looked at the old man's expression up and down several times and said to Lin Feng beside him:
"Teacher Lin, I think his expression doesn't look like he's acting. It might be his first time doing something like this."

When Lin Feng heard Zhang Yunshu's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Oh? How did you judge it?"

Zhang Yunshu scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

“I’ve liked dealing with people since I was a child, and I have an inexplicable intuition.”

"The old man was in a panic just now. What he said at that time was quite credible."

"Of course, teacher, I'm not speaking for him. If you do something wrong, you should be punished."

Lin Feng smiled slightly and had a deeper understanding of Zhang Yunshu in his heart.

This kid likes to do business, and he has also developed some ability to judge people. If he is well cultivated, he will be a talent that can be developed.

"How about listening to his difficulties?"

Lin Feng looked forward:
"Hateful and pitiable are often relative."

When the four children heard Lin Feng's words, they calmed down and followed him to look at the old man.

There's no rush anyway, I want to see what flowers you, old man, can come up with!
In front, Li Fengmao saw that Zhou Cheng had already grabbed the old man, took a step forward slightly, and said:

"Thanks to our slow speed today, otherwise we would kill or injure you. Wouldn't it be worth it for you?"

"Don't you just want to make some money to spend? It's not cost-effective to put your body on it, right?"

"Or are you saying that you have already calculated that our speed is slow and we will definitely not hit you?"

The old man looked at Li Fengmao and said naa:
"This is my first time doing something like this, and I was scared when I saw the speed of the car."

"I've been looking here for a long time, and I think you guys seem more suitable..."

Under Zhou Cheng's half-smiling eyes, the old man's voice became lower and lower, and finally he lowered his head and said with some self-abasement:

"If I had known, I wouldn't have looked for you. I looked for someone who drove very fast and killed me in one fell swoop. No one would know that I was blackmailing people. After all, I'm dead, and everyone will sympathize with me. "

When Li Fengmao heard this, everyone laughed angrily:
"Hey, you old man...!"

After a pause, Li Fengmao rubbed his temples and asked:

"You just said you had your own reasons. What happened that made you even risk your life?"

The old man sighed heavily and said with a slumped face:
"Old man, I am 83 this year. Half of my body has been buried in the ground. Logically speaking, I am waiting to die."

"Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, a tooth appeared in my mouth."

"There is a saying in our village that when old people grow teeth, they want to suck the luck of their descendants."

"At first, I didn't believe it, but last month, my little grandson got seriously ill."

"The doctor said the surgery would cost 3 yuan."

"My family is poor! I borrowed money from all my relatives, but only came up with 5000 yuan, which is not enough at all."

"My son and daughter-in-law both scolded me, saying that I sucked my grandson's luck, and kicked me out."

"After much thought, I realized there is no point in living, so I might as well go out and extort some money."

"In the beginning, I was running to die."

"After all, if you die, you won't suck your grandson's luck."

"But it's coming, it's coming, I'm still afraid..."

As he spoke, tears flashed in the old man's eyes, not only for his own fate, but also for his grandson's fate.

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this reason, they suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

"Who said that old people's long teeth are the way to attract children and grandchildren? Isn't this fart?"

"In what age can we still have such superstitious statements?"

"I am a dentist. In fact, the so-called 'teeth growing' in the elderly does not really mean the growth of new teeth. It may be the exposure of impacted teeth, tooth stumps or alveolar bone hyperplasia. This requires medical treatment in the hospital."

"How can this kind of thing be linked to 'absorbing the fate of descendants'?!"

"The key is that his family believed it and blamed him for the child's illness."

"From what he said, he was kicked out by his son and daughter-in-law. He is also a poor person."

"Everyone in the family has treated him like this, but what he wants is to blackmail someone and get some money for the family? Damn it!"

"Teacher Lin is right, hateful and pitiful are really two sides of the same coin."

"But you can't blackmail someone for any reason."

"Oh, one code equals another code."

"..."

At the scene, Zhou Zicheng frowned and looked at the old man:

"If what he said is true, it's quite pathetic."

Wu Peng put down the hand he was holding and said to Zhou Zicheng:
"But pity is not the reason why he broke the law."

Sun Wei and Zhang Yunshu nodded in agreement, but they couldn't bear it and looked at Lin Feng:
"Teacher Lin, this...hey, can I be given a lighter punishment?"

"If you really want to lock someone up and fine him so much, this old man's situation will be very troublesome. He is not well-liked by his family to begin with."

When the two asked this question, Wu Peng and Zhou Zicheng also looked over eagerly.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and smiled slightly, and whispered:

"The standards for conviction and sentencing for extortion are just as your Uncle Zhou just said."

"However, the old man is now a criminal offender, so depending on the circumstances, the punishment may be reduced or even not punished."

"You don't think Judge Li is just chatting with him, right?"

After the words fell, the hearts of several children were moved, and their eyes on the field changed a little.

Lin Feng sighed softly and said:
"The law must conform to the people's simple sense of justice. And everyone's sense of justice is the same. Sometimes you have to ask more about your heart."

Several children nodded in confusion.

At this moment, Li Fengmao and Zhou Cheng had finished listening to the old man's narration, and they looked at each other with a hint of complexity in their eyes.

"Old man, what is your name and where do you live?"

Zhou Cheng asked the old man.

The old man trembled and didn't want to say anything.

Li Fengmao shook his head and said:
"We are not here to cause trouble at your home, we just want to see if there is any way we can help you."

"Don't worry, we are all reasonable people, otherwise we wouldn't be talking to you here for so long."

"Besides, even if you don't say it, this is a driveway, and people come and go. There are always people who know you, right?"

The old man thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it didn't matter anymore after he said it, so he said:

"My name is Zhang Fugui, and I live in Zhangjia Village not far from here."

"I really know I was wrong, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Cheng:

"Zhangjia Village? I have the impression that you have promoted medical insurance in the village, right? It is said that the medical insurance participation rate is 100%. Your family should have purchased medical insurance, right?"

Zhang Fugui nodded, then shook his head:
"But I heard from relatives that medical insurance requires someone from above to reimburse it."

"When my grandson was seeing a doctor in the hospital, the doctor was very confused about what could and could not be reimbursed. It was very complicated." "My relatives secretly told me that if there was someone above him, he would reimburse him, and if there was no one, he would reimburse him. No repayment.”

"Besides, the money you have to pay is not a penny less. You have to deposit money first."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenggong understood. The old man was uneducated and instinctively had some stage fright when he went to a large county hospital.

Moreover, the medical insurance policy is not 100% reimbursed, and there will be a self-pay part.

When the doctor explained to the old man, the old man didn't understand, and because of stage fright, he didn't dare to ask in detail, which led to a misunderstanding.

As for medical insurance reimbursement, you have to pay money first and get it back later. The old man had never been to the hospital and didn't understand. He thought it was because the medical insurance didn't work.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng sighed and told Zhang Fugui:
"Old man, today's society is different from before. Now it is a society ruled by law. As long as you comply with the regulations, you don't need to rely on favors or have connections."

Zhang Fugui was a little surprised by Zhou Cheng's words. Why is it different from what my relatives said?
Facing Zhang Fugui's surprised and confused look, Zhou Cheng continued:

"Your grandson's illness can be covered by medical insurance."

"The things you say about what can and cannot be reimbursed are not imposed by the doctor, but are based on regulations."

"Actually, you don't need to understand it, because now the reimbursement process is very simple. You don't need to ask, it can be done through one window."

"Don't be afraid. Just tell the doctor clearly that your family is in difficulty and try to use the drugs covered by the medical insurance. The doctor will understand and help."

“Alternatively, you can go to the county officials and the Women and Children’s Protection Agency, explain the situation, and ask them to coordinate with the hospital to see if you can apply for medical treatment funds.”

"Although your family is in difficulty now, in today's society, a disease is no longer a disaster for the entire family."

"You don't have to use your life to fill it."

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, tears flashed in Zhang Fugui's eyes and he choked up:

"Young man, is everything you said true?"

Zhou Cheng nodded and said firmly:

"It's true. Once you do these things, you will know that they are not as complicated as you think."

"And your teeth. Old people don't grow teeth. If this happens, you are sick. You also need to see a doctor."

"Don't worry, your medical insurance can also be used."

"It's all nonsense that old people grow teeth to absorb the luck of their descendants!"

"If I want to put it somewhere else, I'm over 80 years old. I'm lucky to still be as tough as you!"

"It depends on which one you believe!"

Zhang Fugui thought he had underestimated the warmth and warmth of human relationships, but now he saw that the person he wanted to blackmail was showing him the way, and tears fell immediately.

"So that's it...you are such a good person!"

Zhang Fugui pulled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears casually:
"Now I will take my grandson and go to the doctor boldly. I will tell the doctor that my family is in trouble and ask him to take some medical insurance medicine, right?"

"Also, you just need to go to the official, child protection agency, and apply for medical treatment money, right?"

"My teeth have sucked the luck of my descendants, right?"

Three "yes or no"s in a row represent Zhang Fugui's expectations and hopes.

Zhou Cheng nodded solemnly.

"I remember! I'll go back and tell my family right now!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fugui turned around and ran away, but before he could take two steps, he fell back again and looked at Zhou Cheng uneasily:

"I had no intention of running away. I told my family that I would come back."

"I've done something bad, and you can still help me like this. I won't run away!"

"Young man, remember, my name is Zhang Fugui, and my family lives in Zhangjiazhuang just ahead!"

In Zhang Fugui's uneasy eyes, Zhou Cheng shook his head and said:

"It's true that you broke the law, but if you can make up for it, I won't hold you accountable."

After the words fell, Zhang Fugui's eyes burst out with the light of survival:
"As you say, I will definitely do it!"

Zhou Cheng stretched out two fingers:
"Two things."

"First, you go back and tell everyone in Zhangjiazhuang, as well as your relatives and friends, that blackmailing people is illegal, and they will be jailed and fined. Tell them not to do this."

"Second, we still need to tell these people that it is useful to pay for medical insurance. There is no need for someone to be reimbursed by medical insurance. If you are sick, you should go see them."

"can you do it?"

When Zhang Fugui heard this, he nodded fiercely:
"I'm old, not confused. I will do as you say!"

"Okay, you go, you don't have to come back."

Zhou Cheng waved his hand and let Zhang Fugui go.

After Zhang Fugui thanked him profusely, he ran all the way and wanted to go home and tell his family these things.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room gave Zhou Cheng a thumbs up.

"Actually, such a result is much more meaningful than arresting people and putting them in jail."

"Yes, although the crime of extortion is punished with a heavy sentence, it is based on the premise of success. This old man did not succeed, and the harm is relatively small. Moreover, if he is imprisoned, the matter has not been resolved. He may do this again after he comes out."

"Now, letting him go back is actually letting him go back to popularize the law and popularize medical insurance knowledge."

"Yes, in the mountains, people are not open-minded, and cognitive biases will inevitably occur. Just like Zhang Fugui's relatives, they misinterpreted the doctor's words as seeking a relationship. This is a misunderstanding and cognitive limitation. With Zhang Fugui The publicity may be able to change this situation.”

"This is actually a win-win situation, and Zhou Cheng has quite a lot of experience in handling it."

"There's nothing wrong with it, I'm convinced."

"..."

At the scene, the four children looked at Zhang Fugui's leaving figure and were filled with emotion.

"Teacher Lin, my simple sense of justice tells me that this way of handling it is better than locking this person up as I thought before."

Zhou Zicheng said to Lin Feng.

Zhang Yunshu also nodded:

“I seem to have a little more understanding of the concept of ‘law popularization’ that Uncle Zhou Cheng mentioned.”

Lin Feng smiled slightly when he heard what the two said:
"Law, ethics, fairness and justice, these things cannot only be achieved by arresting and imprisoning people. You will see more and more of them in the future."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Wei stared at Zhang Fugui's back, took out the drawing board and started drawing.

Wu Peng, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically silent. Not only did he not speak, he also showed a pensive expression.

At this time, director Liu Yong waved to everyone:

"It's okay, get in the car and let's continue."

Until everyone was done and the car started, Wu Peng was still thinking.

Why do some judges say things like "You didn't hit the person, why did you help him?"

Do you think that the existence of law must judge and punish people?
On the other hand, Uncle Zhou Cheng, after these two days, in his eyes, the law is to solve the problem, and it is best to achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

It's all the same law, so why are there such big differences in the hands of different judges?

Wu Peng couldn't understand, so he asked Zhou Cheng:
"Uncle Zhou, I'm a little confused and want to ask you some questions."

When Zhou Cheng heard Wu Peng's voice, he smiled slightly and said:
"You ask."

"Teacher Lin just told us the story of Zhang San..."

Wu Peng said:
"In that story, the judge used the law as a tool of punishment, and his actions must be effective."

"But I think you are different from Grandpa Li. You do not use the law as a tool of punishment, but you try your best to persuade people to be good."

"I don't know if I'm right to feel this way."

Facing Wu Peng's question, Zhou Cheng thought for a while and replied:
"In my opinion, the most important thing for the interpretation of the law is to conform to the people's simple sense of justice and our fairness."

"So, the law is not defined and confirmed by judges and experts. The people have a say."

"Based on this concept, I will think more and do more when dealing with problems."

"As for Zhang San's case..."

"As the saying goes, a crime only pollutes the water, but an unfair justice pollutes the water source."

"This incident has directly set back our people's moral standards and trust in the law by 50 years."

At the end of the sentence, Zhou Cheng's voice became deeper.

Wu Peng scratched his head and asked:

"Is there any way to remedy this?"

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said:
"For an elderly person who blackmails someone, if it is subjectively confirmed that he did it intentionally and maliciously, then he must be severely punished."

"This kind of behavior constitutes the crime of extortion."

"Unfortunately, in reality, because the old man is old and is nominally weak, when it comes to court, some law enforcement officers will choose to work together."

"This kind of behavior, in turn, exacerbated the impact of the Zhang San incident."

As he spoke, Zhou Cheng sighed:

“You must speak with facts, raise the cost of malicious actors, and balance rights and responsibilities, so that you can have the light of justice.”

After Wu Peng heard this, his heart moved and he couldn't help but say:
"Is it true that as more and more discordant law enforcers become involved, the impact of the Zhang San incident will gradually be smoothed out?"

Zhou Cheng didn't need to answer, he continued:
"In that case, this matter still falls on young people, for example, our generation..."

Speaking of this, Wu Peng felt his heart suddenly light up.

The dream that I once couldn't figure out or touch gradually emerged——

In fact, I can be a discordant judge in the future!

Wu Peng's eyes lit up immediately.

Teacher Lin, I seem to have found my dream!
