What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1066 - 346: Old Tang Likes to Spread the Wealth Fairly

"Hello, everyone. I’m your friend Lao Tang. I know I’ve let a lot of people down. At least as of today, I’m still alive."

"For the case I’m bringing you today, let me start by saying this: everything I’ve done has been for the purpose of helping the litigant seek justice. It’s just that someone happens to be standing in the way of that justice, and I have to get him out of the way. Only then can the litigant’s case move forward for a retrial."

"So, to the people online badmouthing me—please stop. I don’t enjoy sending people to prison. I’m not interested in it. Now then, let’s start with the case introduction…"

Lao Tang proceeded to narrate the entire case in a structured, assembly-line style, accompanied by videos and audio recordings he had captured.

What Lao Tang emphasized heavily was the 200,000 spent on food and drink during Qin Mingsheng’s tenure over a decade ago, the dozens of kilograms worth of IOUs, and the restaurant that had been driven into bankruptcy.

He also focused on the rectification measures implemented over time by the Ningtang County Court, as well as his self-described "shit-stirring" method of supervision."

"Originally, I thought, if the Ningtang County Court’s rectification was truly done well, then I wouldn’t upload anything online."

"But to my surprise, while they kept apologizing to me and promising stern rectifications when facing me, what happened in reality? They just sent someone else over, and the same old behavior continued. If they could delay something, they did…"

"And then, they tried to ask me for an apology and begged me not to post the video online. If you dare to do something, why be afraid of public criticism? So I decided, let’s give them a three-year package deal—over the next three years, I’ll conduct random inspections."

"The kicker is, one of their staff members actually said to me: ’Why target us? Aren’t other places just as bad?’ Fine. Out of the fifteen counties in Luze City, I made sure everyone gets their fair share of exposure."

"I also brought in a bunch of lawyers from Handong to handle cases locally. Sure enough, the staff member was right; other places weren’t much better either…"

In the video, Lao Tang introduced the situations in each individual county one by one, exposing an array of issues. Things like tardiness or leaving work early were now just considered the norm.

It was commonplace for them to fail to file cases promptly or to refuse to issue decisions of non-acceptance altogether.

So Lao Tang exposed it all at once. Honestly, I didn’t want to do this, but there was no other way. Tell me, why are so many people these days so eager to "jump into the fray"?

Old Wen, there are too many people copying you now!

After finishing the video and double-checking everything, Lao Tang dialed Old Yang’s number.

Since this kind of video was relatively sensitive, Lao Tang wanted to discuss it first to avoid issues like upload restrictions or outright censorship, which would be bothersome later on.

Although Lao Tang himself wasn’t afraid of trouble, such issues would delay viewers from seeing the video.

Plus, his collaboration with the Handong region had always been solid; Handong had given him considerable support on sensitive issues.

Upon hearing about the video, Old Yang asked Lao Tang to send it to him first. Shortly after receiving it—within twenty minutes—Old Yang replied.

"Why bother worrying over something like this? Just upload it directly. The government discovers dozens of people like this every year, and announcements and videos are always released about them. This is nothing; there’s no need to fret."

"Besides, this is all related to Hanbei Province..."

The distinction between local cases and cross-regional ones is significant. Generally, if it’s not a major issue, it’s rare for people to be arrested outside their province—it’s inherently more troublesome.

With Old Yang’s assurance, Lao Tang clicked upload right away.

In Modu, Wang Jing had already completed her thesis defense and was now relaxing in her dorm room. In just a short while, she would graduate.

Yesterday, a relative of her senior brother had called to say that Director Tang had already managed the case. So when Wang Jing woke up today, she started checking for new videos.

A case like this would definitely result in a video from Director Tang!

Sure enough, as she scrolled, Wang Jing saw Lao Tang’s newest update and clicked on it immediately. The title left her stunned.

"Sending Someone to Prison for Justice, Rectification Without Follow-Up!"

Honestly, with a title like that, average people wouldn’t bother watching, but Lao Tang’s videos don’t care about titles.

Wang Jing clicked in without hesitation, and soon Lao Tang’s distinctive voice emerged, accompanied by a sweeping shot of an impressively grand courthouse building.

When Wang Jing heard Lao Tang say that he was still alive, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Back then, people thought he was nearing his end, as if he was burning through his last reserves of energy. But that "last reserve" stretched on for three years. Earlier this year, some people even joked he wouldn’t make it much longer and was spending extravagantly before his death.

But that "spending spree" extended for six months, and he seemed to be getting more energetic than ever.

Ironically, the lawyer who claimed Lao Tang wouldn’t last long was hospitalized with pneumonia this year and barely survived. After that, he never dared to talk recklessly again...

At this point, who knows? Maybe Director Tang will outlast them all.

The further Wang Jing watched, the more dumbfounded she became. Holy crap, holy crap—can this even be aired?

The retired official probably never imagined that the reason he ended up being sent to prison was because he obstructed Lao Tang’s efforts to help someone else seek justice.

Of course, that’s nothing new. Lao Tang is all too familiar with this "blocking from both sides" approach of his.

But seriously, what the heck is this "shit-stirring supervision" method?

Wang Jing could vividly picture the Ningtang County Court staff’s stunned expressions. This tactic was absolutely brutal.

Regular inspections to check whether rectifications were properly implemented, while simultaneously hiring various lawyers to investigate? That’s just… just way too satisfying!

Ordinarily, they’d moan about how tough their jobs are, but now they’ll truly have something to complain about.

In the comment section, netizens were absolutely ecstatic, celebrating like it was New Year.

"Panama’s Consequences": Holy crap, I’ve wanted to see what those so-called rectifications truly result in for ages now. They talk about rectifications all the time, but there’s never been much follow-up. If they’re going to do this for three more years? Yes, that’s exactly how it should be done!
