Chapter 307 You can use this to test the cadres
"Tang Xingliang, I paid a high price to hire you, and now my sentence has been extended from three years to seven years. If you don't solve this problem, I will fight you!" An Bowen shouted madly.
Zhang Hao said from the side, "An Bowen, you need to calm down. This is in the procuratorate. If you hit someone, your sentence might be increased. Of course, if it's just a couple of kicks on the buttocks that don't constitute minor injuries, then it wouldn't constitute a crime."
When Tang Xingliang heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Are you sure you are trying to persuade him instead of telling him how to beat me?"
But he couldn't care less about these things at this moment, because An Bowen was staring at him fiercely, and he couldn't guarantee whether An Bowen would really kick him in the butt.
What if he loses his mind and kicks somewhere else, wouldn't he be crippled?
He quickly said, "Mr. An, please don't get excited. This is just a sentencing recommendation, not the actual trial result. Whether you are guilty or not is not up to him to decide, but depends on the judgment of the presiding judge!"
"Are you telling the truth?" An Bowen asked doubtfully.
Before Tang Xingliang could say anything, Zhang Hao said, "I can prove that what he said is true."
Tang Xingliang looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief. How could he speak for him?
Zhang Hao continued, "However, the final verdict will most likely be based on the sentencing recommendation from the procuratorate, unless there's insufficient evidence. So there's a 99% chance you'll be sentenced to seven years in prison."
When An Bowen heard this, his eyes turned red: "You son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Three years turned into seven years, who the hell can accept this?
Tang Xingliang panicked and said, "An Bowen, calm down first. I have a way, I have a way. Give me another chance!"
Then he turned to Zhang Hao and said, "Prosecutor Zhang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered with your work. Can you change the sentence back to three years?"
Zhang Hao looked at Tang Xingliang with a smile and said, "Are you begging me?"
"Yes, yes, I am begging you." Tang Xingliang nodded repeatedly.
He gave in now not only because An Bowen was watching him closely, but more importantly, if others knew that he had reduced his client's sentence from three years to seven years, his reputation would be ruined. Who would dare to sue him in the future?
Zhang Hao said calmly, "Is this how you beg people?"
Tang Xingliang reacted immediately after hearing this, and quickly took out his wallet again, then pulled out a card from it and handed it to Zhang Hao, saying: "Prosecutor Zhang, this is a shopping card from Yida Plaza, and there is 10,000 yuan in it."
At the same time, I felt relieved. Fortunately, I usually carry a few shopping cards with me for giving gifts. Especially this kind of shopping card is in anonymous form, which is the best thing to give to public officials.
Zhang Hao took the shopping card, played with it in his hand, and said, "Lawyer Tang, you are using this to test cadres? Which cadre can't stand such a test?"
Tang Xingliang didn't expect Zhang Hao to have such a big appetite. Even ten thousand yuan couldn't satisfy him. You know, he usually just gave him a shopping card worth a few thousand yuan.
But for my own reputation.
He still took out his wallet and wanted to take out one card, but after thinking about it, he took out all the shopping cards.
I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf!
Taking them one by one would make me seem too stingy, and if the sentencing recommendation is not changed, I would lose more than just this little money.
Then Tang Xingliang handed all the shopping cards to Zhang Hao: "Prosecutor Zhang, please accept them!"
Zhang Hao looked at the shopping cards in his hand and asked, "Is each card worth 10,000 yuan?"
"Not necessarily, there are also a few 5,000-yuan notes in there!" said Tang Xingliang.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, Attorney Tang is really generous. Even if there are a few 5,000 yuan ones in here, these shopping cards must be worth about 40,000 or 50,000 yuan!"
"Almost. Prosecutor Zhang, what do you think of this sentencing recommendation?" Tang Xingliang asked tentatively.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."
Tang Xingliang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost tens of thousands of yuan this time, he could make it back by taking on two more cases.
Xia Ning looked at Zhang Hao with disgust. He didn't expect that Zhang Hao was a corrupt official who embezzled and accepted bribes. He made up his mind to drive Zhang Hao away when he returned home tonight. He would never let such a shameless person who embezzled and accepted bribes live under the same roof with him.
Then Zhang Hao walked out.
After Zhang Hao left, Tang Xingliang said to An Bowen: "Mr. An, I told you, leave the case to me, you can rest assured, how is it, is it okay?"
An Bowen snorted coldly and ignored Tang Xingliang completely. If he hadn't made things worse, none of this would have happened.
A few minutes later, Zhang Hao came in again, but besides him, there were two judicial police officers following him.
When An Bowen saw the two judicial police officers, he was shocked. Are they going to put him in jail?
Tang Xingliang was also confused. What was going on?
What are you doing with the judicial police?
He knew it the next second. He heard Zhang Hao pointing at Tang Xingliang and saying, "Catch him."
Before Tang Xingliang could react to what was happening, two judicial police officers came up and restrained him.
By the time Tang Xingliang reacted, he was already in handcuffs.
An Bowen was a little confused. What was going on?
Isn't it your own catch?
How was Tang Xingliang arrested?
Xia Ning was also full of confusion.
Tang Xingliang said in panic, "Prosecutor Zhang, what do you mean? Why are you arresting me?"
Zhang Hao said jokingly, "Why are we arresting you? It's simple. You're suspected of bribing me. I have to say, you're quite courageous. Bribing a prosecutor in the procuratorate? You're not stupid enough to do such a thing."
Only then did Tang Xingliang realize that he had fallen into Zhang Hao's trap.
Bribing public officials is punishable by imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention.
"Zhang Hao, fuck your mother, you dare to cheat me, I will kill you, you bastard!" Tang Xingliang cursed at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao scratched his ears and said, "Why don't you save your energy and tell the truth later. How many prosecutors and judges have you bribed over the years? If you confess voluntarily, you can get a lighter sentence. Take him away!"
Two judicial police officers dragged Tang Xingliang out.
Zhang Hao said to An Bowen: "An Bowen, it seems that you have changed your lawyer! Look at this sentencing recommendation. Should you wait until you find a new lawyer before signing it, or sign it now?"
As he said that, Zhang Hao handed the sentencing recommendation back to An Bowen.
