Chapter 1073 1071【Do you believe there is justice in this world?】
Boom!
There were bursts of thunder.
The weather was gloomy, and when Shi Zhijian rushed back to his mansion, the sky was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
The large living room was lifeless, and there was no sign of the elder sister Shi Yufeng and others.
The maid handed Shi Zhijian a wet towel to wipe his face, and Shi Zhijian asked: "Where are my sister and the others?"
"They were visiting Papaya. After what happened last time, Papaya was afraid that he was frightened and always had nightmares. Madam was kind-hearted, so she went to Wong Tai Sin Temple to ask for a talisman, and now she goes to comfort Papaya."
Shi Zhijian nodded after hearing this and wiped his cheeks vigorously with a towel.
Problems will always arise when a girl's family encounters such a change. Besides, Papaya has always been heartless and pure at heart, so it would be difficult to accept this sudden situation.
At this time, the housekeeper Wangcai came in and reported that Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao were coming.
Every time something happened to the Shi family, these two good brothers Shi Zhijian would come to visit as soon as possible, which made Shi Zhijian extremely grateful.
"Third Young Master, Young Master Huo, are you coming? Do you want to have dinner together?" Shi Zhijian waited for the two people to enter and greeted them proactively.
"We heard about Shaqiang and Papaya. How can we help you?" Xu Sanshao was not polite to Shi Zhijian and got straight to the point.
"I will solve this matter, you are interested!" Shi Zhijian invited the two of them to sit down on the chairs and asked the servant to bring tea.
"Where's Sister Yufeng?"
"She and Yongqin and the others are upstairs - Papaya has been having nightmares these days."
"It would be weird if you don't have nightmares! Seeing a ghost jumping on the street in front of you, even grown men like you and me would be scared!" Xu Sanshao said, taking out cigarettes from his arms, popping two out and handing them to
Huo Dashao and Shi Zhijian.
Young Master Huo waved his hand. His upbringing was very strict. Huo Daheng recently asked him to quit smoking and drinking. He listened to the old man's words and was using practical actions to prove that he was a filial son.
Shi Zhijian took one and bit it in his mouth.
Xu Sanshao took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for Shi Zhijian: "I think it's hard for you to quit smoking! You don't even have any concentration!"
Shi Zhijian took a puff from the cigarette and said, "Take one more puff while my sister is away!"
The servant next to him saw his young master smoking, and thought of the reward order issued by Shi Yufeng. If he complained, he could get hundreds of dollars. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. The young master only smoked because he felt uncomfortable! Every family has things that are hard to remember.
Yes!
"To be honest, A Jian, I think this matter is quite difficult to handle! The guy who was shot by Silly Qiang was a ghost guy or a British soldier. You also know that these ghost guys in Hong Kong are always lawless and never take us Chinese seriously.
, they will definitely not give up after encountering such an accident this time!" Xu Sanshao analyzed.
"Yes, I heard the news that Colonel Philip has been supported by that old fox in Bailiqu. He will definitely fight the lawsuit to the end. It will be easy to arrest Silly Qiang and put him in jail. I am afraid that you will be implicated too!" Mr. Huo
Seriously.
Shi Zhijian flicked the ashes of his cigarette and thought quickly: "I knew Bailiqu was going to drag me into trouble, and if you want to take advantage of this case to smear me, it would be best to ask Her Majesty the Queen to remove me as a baron, and then don't tell me that I am going
The British have awarded me a medal, maybe they will be charged with cover-up!"
"Since you know this, why not leave the matter to others!"
"You want me to stay out of the matter?" Shi Zhijian glanced at Xu Sanshao, "If something happened to your family, your friend, Third Master, would you stay out of the matter?"
Xu Sanshao hesitated for a moment, "No!"
Mr. Huo said from the side: "I have told you before that it is useless to come here to persuade A Jian!"
"Try it, you're right!" Xu Sanshao sighed.
"Okay, you have finished what you have to say, do you want to leave some food?" Shi Zhijian asked.
"If you can't eat it, how can we eat it?" Xu Sanshao said, "To be honest, do you have the worst plan now?"
"Worst plan?" Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, "What I'm most afraid of now is the reaction from the Hong Kong government. If there is any movement there, it proves that Philip doesn't want peace talks at all and wants to make things worse!"
"Hong Kong government? No, Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi has such a good relationship with you!"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, especially when Dai Lingzhi will step down next month. What would you do if you encountered such a thing?"
"this---"
"The Governor of Hong Kong is also a ghost after all!" Shi Zhijian said softly.
Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao fell into silence.
Yes, even if Shi Zhijian is good at dancing and has a harmonious relationship with Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi, after all, the other party is a ghost, and they will of course safeguard the interests of their own clan when encountering such a thing.
As if to verify these words of Shi Zhijian, the phone rang!
The housekeeper Wangcai hurriedly ran over to answer the phone. After a long time, he said to Shi Zhijian with a look of astonishment on his face: "Master, there is a call from the Hong Kong government, asking you to go there now!"
…
Shi Zhijian was sitting in Xu Sanshao's car. At this time, he turned his face and looked at Xu Sanshao with worried eyes and straight ahead. The expression on his handsome face changed several times in succession, and he exhaled: "Third Master,
Actually, you don’t have to send me there!”
"I also want to go to the Hong Kong government to see something!" Xu Sanshao held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead and laughed, "Hey, it's not because I'm worried about you!"
The Hong Kong Government House is right in front of you, and you can see the lion flag flying on the top of the building from a long distance away.
Shi Zhijian took a few deep breaths, reached for the car door, and when he spoke again, his voice had become very calm: "Wait for me, let's drink together when we get back!"
"Copy that! I'm with Lao Huo, your treat!" Xu Sanshao waved his hand towards Shi Zhijian.
"Definitely!" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
As soon as I entered the hall, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky outside, and then raindrops fell like beans, and in the blink of an eye, the outside world was wet.
…
"I'm sorry, dear Congressman Shek! I'm sorry to have you come here in such heavy rain! The Governor of Hong Kong already knows about the murder of Ding Yongqiang, but he is busy talking on the phone with London right now. You also know that he
I will leave office next month, and there are many things that need to be reported to London!" Megan, the secretary of the Hong Kong Governor, said to Shi Zhijian very politely while sitting on the large red chair in the living room of No. 4 of the Hong Kong Governor's House.
Dai Lingzhi did not want to see him, but sent his secretary to receive him. It was obvious that he wanted to distance himself from Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian thought of the close relationship between the two when he helped Dai Lingzhi in the past. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but laugh. After all, a ghost guy is a ghost guy, and he can't raise him well. As long as his own interests are involved, his face will change immediately.
"Then I would like to know the attitude of the Governor of Hong Kong after he learned about this matter?" After the Chinese servant who was responsible for serving coffee bowed and left, Shi Zhijian finally asked.
Meghan, the confidential secretary of the Hong Kong Governor, smiled, and then lowered her voice and said: "Of course the Hong Kong Governor takes it very seriously! After all, this is a murder case, and it happened in public. What is even more embarrassing is that the police and the British Empire army still
There was a confrontation at Wan Chai Police Station! If you tell me, this is an international joke!"
Meghan is considered one of Dai Lingzhi's inner circle in the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Many times when Dai Lingzhi encounters matters that cannot be escaped, Dai Lingzhi will ask Meghan to help deal with them.
Originally, as Dai Lingzhi was about to step down, Meghan could take a break and consider whether to continue to stay in the Hong Kong government or return to the UK with Dai Lingzhi in the future. Unexpectedly, something like this happened halfway through.
Although Mai Lihao has inherited the power of Dai Lingzhi as the Governor of Hong Kong, Dai Lingzhi is still the official Hong Kong Governor on the surface. When encountering this kind of thing, Mak Lihao will not force himself to do anything, so he has to throw the hot potato to the old Hong Kong Governor.
However, Dai Lingzhi, the old Hong Kong governor, was not a vegetarian. Since Mak Lihao passed the blame, he was not stupid. He also directly passed the blame to the confidential secretary, Mr. Megan, and asked him to beat Shi Zhijian.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Megan! Please apologize to Mr. Governor of Hong Kong on my behalf! If time could go back again, no one would want this to happen!" Shi Zhijian's attitude seemed very sincere.
Megan is very satisfied with Shi Zhijian's performance at this moment. You must know that Shi Zhijian is very famous in Hong Kong. Even Bailiqu was defeated by him, and he has a close relationship with Mai Lihao. All this is enough for Megan to think that Shi Zhijian is a special person.
A big shot! But for such a big shot, he apologized to himself at this time, and Meghan's vanity was fully satisfied.
"You can't say it like that, dear Congressman Shi!" Meghan took a high stance and gently stirred the coffee. After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he took a deep sniff of the aroma of the coffee and said slowly: "This is
The nature of the matter is bad, and it cannot be solved with just an apology! Do you know that in order to suppress those chaotic public opinions, the Governor of Hong Kong has done a lot of work, and he has not even slept well these days!"
"Really? It seems that the Governor of Hong Kong is really worried about this matter! I really don't know what to do except apologize!" Shi Zhijian said while doing Tai Chi.
"You know what to do!" Meghan then realized that Shi Zhijian had been playing guerrilla, but did not talk in a practical direction.
"Oh, really, but I really don't know. If you know, Mr. Megan, I would like to hear the details!" Shi Zhijian deliberately tested the other party's tone.
"It's very simple!" Megan showed an arrogant look, "The Governor of Hong Kong has personally met with the Chief Justice of the Internal Affairs Tribunal and carefully inquired about the details of this case, so he came to the conclusion that it is best for Congressman Shi to give up his car to save the commander-in-chief!"
"Abandoning the car to save the handsome man? What do you mean?" Shi Zhijian pretended not to understand.
Megan smiled, "Congressman Shi, did you do this on purpose? Now is your last chance. If you can't seize it, the Governor of Hong Kong will be very angry, and the consequences will be serious!"
Shi Zhijian took a sip of coffee, put down the coffee cup, looked up at Megan, and said: "I still don't understand!"
"Mr. Shek, are you kidding me? Do you think I can ignore me because I am just a confidential secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong? If so, then I can tell you that I don't like your kind of joke, it will kill people.
!" Megan was so angry at Shi Zhijian's rudeness that her tone became a little vicious.
From Megan's point of view, Shi Zhijian was simply ungrateful. The whole case had made it obvious that that damn third-class Chinese had killed a noble British soldier. For this reason alone, even if he was hanged, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would be hanged!
If Shi Zhijian was smart, he should avoid suspicion and no longer pay attention to this matter. In order to show his loyalty to the British guys, he should personally make the Chinese who jumped on the street plead guilty and be punished, so that everyone would be happy!
But Shi Zhijian pretended to be confused and pretended to be confused. Wasn't this ignoring him as a confidential secretary?
"Mr. Meghan, what is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's stability and prosperity?" Shi Zhijian did not change his attitude because of Meghan's threat.
"Of course it's the huge influence of our empire on which the sun never sets!" Meghan said with a cold face, arrogantly, "If there was no British Empire to support you in Hong Kong, not to mention prosperity and stability, even security would be threatened!"
"Wrong! The cornerstone of Hong Kong's continued stability and prosperity is the rule of law!" Shi Zhijian said firmly, "An open, fair and just legal system is more powerful than any army and more convincing than any words! And this time,
What I want to pursue is a fair legal system and an open and fair trial!"
Meghan originally didn't want to listen to Shi Zhijian's theoretical nonsense, but Shi Zhijian's last words stunned him: "You want this matter to be tried in public?"
You know, after this incident happened, the Hong Kong government immediately covered it up to prevent it from fermenting! In order to prevent this incident from becoming an international joke and becoming big news!
But now, Shi Zhijian has actually stated that he wants to spread this matter and hold a public trial?! Isn't this going against the Hong Kong government?
"Speak slowly and let me explain it carefully -" Megan seemed a little at a loss and looked at Shi Zhijian, "You are saying that you want to expose this matter and let the man named Ding stand trial in public.
?”
"Yes, that's it! I think the law is fair and just, and I am willing to accept the outcome of any trial!" Shi Zhijian spread his hands toward Megan and said firmly.
"God, are you crazy? You can't even cover up this matter, but you want to make it public?" Megan asked in disbelief: "Don't you know the reason why the Governor of Hong Kong called you here so late?
What do you mean? I'm just afraid that you will expose this matter, so I hope you can resolve it privately with that Colonel Philip! But what about you? You really think that as a member of the Legislative Council, you can do whatever you want, and you don't need to take the honor of the Governor of Hong Kong into consideration.
, can it go against the British Empire’s garrison in Hong Kong?”
"I have never thought about it this way," Shi Zhijian stood up and said, "but in my mind I have always adhered to one principle, that is - justice! I believe that the law will tell everyone what justice is, and will also tell the Hong Kong Governor
, what does it mean for a gentleman to do something and not do something? Finally, please say hello to the Governor of Hong Kong on my behalf!"
Shi Zhijian nodded slightly towards Megan, then turned and left!
"you--"
Megan, who was being ignored, was so angry that he almost jumped up from his chair. He never thought that Shi Zhijian would dare to be so bold and unbridled!
When Shi Zhijian had just left the drawing room, Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi came out of the inner room with his hands behind his back. Looking at the roaring rain outside, he asked Megan: "My dear, do you believe there is justice in this world?"
Meghan looked confused and didn't know how to answer.
