"Jiang Li, after get off work, go out to eat. This is a good opportunity to toast to the leader."
The person who invited Jiang Li was Jiang Li's college classmate named Xiang Liang. After graduating, he directly joined the work force and became prosperous.
Jiang Li has a high degree of education. After joining the job, his position and rank soon exceeded his level.
Jiang Li looked away from the case file and said, "No, I just received new evidence materials. I need to review them carefully tonight. It is related to the interests of the parties concerned and cannot be careless."
"I haven't finished reading this month's law journal."
"If you toast to the leader, you may get a promotion and a salary increase." Xiang Liang continued to persuade Jiang Li. If Jiang Li gets promoted, the vacant position will be his.
Jiang Li wondered: "Does promotion and salary increase depend not on performance but on drinking capacity?"
Seeing this, Xiang Liang had no choice but to attend the drinking party by himself.
…
"Jiang Li, the higher-ups have spoken. The parties involved in this case have a special relationship. Please take care of them." Xiang Liang winked at Jiang Li. If you do this well and leave a good impression on the higher-ups, your promotion will be around the corner.
"Okay, let the higher-ups change the law." Jiang Li said with a smile, "Whatever the law says, I will deal with it."
Xiang Liang immediately shut up.
Jiang Li said again: "Xiang Liang, you shouldn't accept any benefits from others, right?"
Xiang Liang was worried that Jiang had left the recording pen and shook his head vigorously: "How is that possible?"
"That's good. Don't forget that the law pursues fairness and justice, not promotion and salary increase." Jiang Li reminded kindly.
He has been working for several years, and the more things he comes into contact with, the more he discovers that theory is theory, and practice does not seem to care what the theory says.
Jiang Li looked at Xiang Liang and remembered the time when he and Xiang Liang attended classes together and studied law to the best of their ability. At that time, Xiang Liang was still a man who wanted to become a legal worker who upheld fairness and justice.
After ten years of not seeing each other, Xiang Liang has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Xiang Liang who used to talk about his ideals with me is no longer there.
Xiang Liang looked at Jiang Li with the same complicated expression. He had been working for ten years and had seen many young people who entered the society with enthusiasm and displayed their ideals and ambitions. However, those people soon lost to reality and became the same as himself.
people.
Only Jiang Li remained unchanged from beginning to end. He was as stubborn as a child who had just left school, and was not afraid of being beaten by society at all.
It's so enviable.
He can't. He has a wife, children, and a mortgage to pay. He wants to make his life better.
He couldn't do what Jiang Li did.
…
A few years later, Jiang Li touched a lot of interests and offended a lot of people.
He was framed and taken to court.
The other party's evidence is conclusive, enough to prove Jiang Li's guilt.
Although Jiang Li has never committed a crime.
The doctoral supervisor became Jiang Li's attorney. He came to the detention center and saw Jiang Li wearing prison uniform with a complicated expression.
He did not expect that after so many years, Jiang Li's character has not changed and his bottom line has not dropped one point.
"Jiang Li, you are better than me. At first, I was like You, wanting to enter society and speak out for justice, but I soon found that I was defeated by reality, so I fled back to school and concentrated on studying theory."
Jiang Li said expressionlessly: "Professor Kong, I am right."
Professor Kong felt heartbroken when he saw Jiang Li, who had always smiled happily, ended up in this situation.
How big a blow should this incident cause to Jiang Li?
Anyway, today is just the right time to clarify the matter and let Jiang Li recognize the reality.
Professor Kong sighed: "I know you are right, but this society does not regard right from wrong, and you are incompatible with this society."
"Why do you think the law always pursues fairness and justice?"
"Why?"
"Because I can't pursue it. After so many years, I have figured out that fairness and justice are simply impossible to achieve. I wrote a paper on this but never dared to publish it or tell anyone. Now I want to tell you
explain."
Jiang Li listened quietly to Professor Kong.
"Humans are profit-seeking animals, but interests are limited, and human desires are unlimited."
"You also know that energy is conserved, and interests are also conserved."
“Man is a bottomless pit and limited interests cannot fill it up at all.”
"As long as the hearts of the people are insufficient, fairness and justice will not be achieved."
Jiang Li thought thoughtfully: "If energy is infinite and interests are infinite, can fairness and justice be achieved?"
Professor Kong saw something was wrong with Jiang Li's expression, so he did not discuss this topic too much, but said: "Don't worry, even though the other party's evidence is solid, I am also prepared and I will definitely be able to rescue you."
Jiang Li fell into deep thought and kept mumbling the words "energy", "conservation" and "non-conservation".
…
In the court, Professor Kong exceeded everyone's expectations and proved that Jiang Li suffered from mental illness and was suffering from mental illness during the crime.
The judge knew that Professor Kong must have used his connections, but he had no evidence.
According to regulations, mental illness is not a crime.
The judge knocked the hammer: "Jiang Li is not guilty, but he needs to be treated in a mental hospital."
…
Professor Kong came to the mental hospital and wanted to rescue Jiang Li, but the words of the attending doctor shocked Professor Kong.
"This patient does have a mental illness."
Professor Kong looked at Jiang Li, who was chatting and laughing with the nurse, and his smile had returned to his former self.
He asked angrily: "How could he be sick?"
The attending physician explained helplessly: "He does look like a normal person. He himself thinks he is not sick, but only if he does not talk about energy issues."
"Energy issue?"
"He believed energy was infinite."
"So what? Who would talk about whether energy is conserved or not?" Professor Kong gradually realized that something was wrong. This was different from what had been agreed before.
The attending physician received orders from above and was determined not to let him go, and Professor Kong's relationship didn't work here either.
Professor Kong tried every means but failed to bring Jiang Li out. In the end, he had to give up this plan and visit Jiang Li regularly.
Jiang Li's position became vacant, and Xiang Liang took over Jiang Li's job.
The old dean took the children to visit Jiang Li. The old dean looked at Jiang Li in the mental hospital and regretted letting Jiang Li study law.
The old dean cried: "It would be better if I didn't let you choose law."
Jiang Li put down the novel about cultivating immortals he was reading and shook his head with a smile: "I am very glad that I chose law."
Jiang Li likes to read novels about cultivating immortals in his spare time.
But now, he is very free.
The superiors felt that Jiang Li knew too much and was always a hidden danger, so they used various means to kill Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked distracted and gradually lost consciousness.
His lips trembled and he murmured: "What a pity. In the end, I didn't realize my ideal."
The will of all sentient beings in Kyushu found Jiang Li's soul, led him to Kyushu, and asked him to become the human emperor to fight against the demons outside the territory and save Jiuzhou.
After that, the envoy Du Ye provoked an arms race and triggered a world war.
