Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

   Chapter 421 0420 [Go down to the grassroots and do charity! 】

  In the early days of Hong Kong’s occupation by the British, there was social unrest, street riots one after another, and the police station under the jurisdiction of the British was also struggling to cope.

   Especially in the police station at that time, the first-class policeman was a foreign devil, and the second-class auxiliary policeman was the third Indian brother. These people can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, and they can't quell the riots when they go to the streets. They will only fight each other with the local people.

   Therefore, those who have the ability to maintain social peace and calm social anger can only be local prestige squires. Moreover, the squires generally had business or interests with the British, and the British Hong Kong government was able to move them.

   So in 1908, the then Governor of Hong Kong, Luard, in accordance with the 1886 Hong Kong Conservative Law and Order Ordinance, gave the Justice of the Peace the power to "dissolve gatherings, arrest prisoners, and search houses".

   Since then, Justice of the Peace has become a veritable civil official title with certain powers in Hong Kong.

   Of course, there is another reason why Shi Zhijian suggested that Lai Luo work hard and find a JP to do it. As long as you get a JP, you will have a gold medal for avoiding death.

  Because the Justice of the Peace not only has the right to arrest and investigate, but also has certain immunity. If you are not guilty of heinous crimes, you can be exempted from punishment.

   Lai Luo's future ending Shi Zhijian knows, and this suggestion at this moment is just to help him.

   In the study at this moment, Lai Luo was already shocked by Shi Zhijian's bold proposal, which was something he didn't even dare to think about, JP.

   "A Jian, I heard right, you mean I can be a Justice of the Peace?"

   "Why can't you?"

   "Justices of the Peace need civilians who have made great contributions to society to serve. I'm the Inspector, what should I do?"

   Lai Luo looked puzzled, and even Lai Hao looked at Shi Zhijian very curiously, thinking that this was impossible.

Shi Zhijian smiled, took a sip of the sober soup with one hand and put it down, looked up and said to Lai Luo: "When did British law say that public officials cannot serve as justices of the peace? Justices of the peace must come from the people? Also, Brother Luo, you Although she is a public official, Sister Chang is not!"

"Uh? What do you mean? Ajian, don't hide it anymore, I know what you're saying, I'm so impatient!" Lei Luo couldn't help it anymore, Shi Zhijian's words were scratching him. itching.

"It's very simple, Luo Ge." Shi Zhijian sorted out his thoughts and said, "Recently, my three pillar industries, Shinhwa Food, Shinhwa Real Estate, and Golden Harvest Entertainment are going to jointly launch a 'focus on people's health and prevent epidemics and flu'. The event, to put it bluntly, is free to go to the places where the flu is most violent, and distribute masks, cold medicine and other medical items for them."

   "This may require a lot of money, Brother Luo, you have to be willing first, at least come out with one million!"

   "Ah, a million?" Laidlaw hesitated.

   Next to him, Hao Hao hurriedly encouraged him: "One million trivialities, Brother Luo, you can't come up with me to help you!"

Lai Luo looked at Lame Hao gratefully and said, "Why is this so embarrassing? I just thought that if I took out so much money, wouldn't I be gossiped? A detective's monthly salary is 35,000, and he can give out 1 million. ?"

  Shi Zhijian smiled: "That's why you need Sister Chang to help! Everyone knows that Sister Chang's old beans are fish with rice, and they are rich and powerful. If you ask Sister Chang to help you, those gossips will be self-defeating."

   "You mean to let Grandma do it with me?"

   "Yes! To be precise, Sister Chang will give you the money and you will contribute, and Sister Chang will give you one million. As for you, just focus on getting down to the grassroots!"

   "Lower the grassroots?" Laidlaw was very interested in these fresh words.

"Of course you have to go to the grassroots level! If you don't go to the grassroots level, the other will see you doing things? If you don't go out to serve the people, the other will thank you? In short, in this 'caring about people's health, preventing epidemics and flu' activity, you must Take the lead and risk your life to go to the front line of the fight against the epidemic and distribute masks and medicines to the people in person."

   Lai Luo rubbed his fists: "Is it the kind of drama? I post things here, take pictures of me there, and then publish them in the newspaper, I can do this!"

   "No! It's not a show, it's for real!" Shi Zhijian was firm, "Even if it doesn't work, you will die if you catch the flu!"

   "Ah, what?" Laidlaw was taken aback.

   Hao Hao was also taken aback. Just now, he almost asked Ying to do charity work for Brother Luo, and immediately shut up when he heard this. He is a disabled person, and it is also possible not to go to the grassroots level.

Shi Zhijian observed his words, and when he saw Lei Luo's hesitant expression, he said, "In short, I have said everything I have to say. This time, if you want to get a JP, you have to pay for money and take risks; but only in this way can this title fall to on you!"

   "Brother Luo, I've finished speaking, you should think about it!" Shi Zhijian stood up and said, "It's almost time, I have to say goodbye, Brother Hao, do you want to join us?"

  Laohao immediately stood up with a cane, "Of course we'll be together!" He turned around and said to Lai Luo, "Brother Luo, I also have to say goodbye! In addition, if you are short of money, just tell me, and I will definitely help you!"

   Lai Hao is ready to invest.

   The last time he invested in Lai Luo as the Chief China Inspector, it can be said that the return was huge.

   Investing in him as a Justice of the Peace this time, maybe it will be a huge dividend.

  Laylo nodded and got up to take them downstairs in person.

  …

   After Shi Zhijian and Lai Hao left, Lai Luo was still standing at the door of the villa with his hands behind his back, frowning and looking confused.

   At this time, his wife Bai Yuechang took the clothes and came out, put the woolen coat lightly on Lai Luo and said, "It's cold at night, wear an extra layer of clothes."

  Laylo turned around and hugged his wife's shoulders, "Aunt, if I were a Justice of the Peace, would you support me?"

   "Of course support!"

   "But what if I need to take a risk this time?"

   Bai Yuechang was stunned for a moment: "What kind of dangerous method?"

   Lai Luo told Bai Yuechang what Shi Zhijian said.

  Bai Yuechang laughed after hearing this~www.readwn.com~ What kind of danger is this? It is a great act of kindness to help those helpless people give medicine and medicine, and distribute masks and anti-epidemic items for them! "

"Brother Luo, you also know that I respect you very much. You have always been a hero in my heart. Others say that you are cruel and greedy for money, but I know that you are involuntarily. If you are not greedy, how can you treat those How can you control those desperadoes if you are not ruthless? If you were not in the middle, supporting the rivers and lakes and the police, I am afraid that Hong Kong would have been in chaos by now. Have a great time!"

"Now, you take out the money and go to rescue those people in person. How can this be a risk? This is what you must do and what you should do! If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will help the world! Although I am The generation of female streamers also understands this truth.”

  Laylo was stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Well said! I didn't expect my Laiduo to be inferior to you Bai Yuechang! I will reward you tonight!"

After    finished speaking, Lei Luo stretched out his arms and hugged Bai Yuechang's waist and said, "Don't worry about the children tonight, go to my room and sleep, can't you?"

  Bai Yuechang gave her husband a blank look and pretended to be shy: "What are you going to do?"

   "Of course it's 'Noon on the Day of Hoe Harvest'! I'm so hardworking, you'll know tonight!"
