Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

This is a very sad thing to say. Under the premise of the democratic representative system, the members of the city council were already out-and-out big shots in Johannesburg, but they died so unclearly and quietly. The newspaper

An obituary the size of a matchbox was given on the Internet, but it did not attract any attention.

Not even Adam Stephen's family made any sound. After Adam Stephen's death, his family did not show up at all. Only an old housekeeper came forward, hoping to take away Adam Stephen's body from Ziwei Hospital, saying that it was

To be transported back to his hometown for burial.

It is definitely impossible to take away the body. Although Colin Bellamy is dead, the body can still tell a lot of things, so some people asked Ziwei Hospital to cremate the body and then give the ashes to Adam Smith.

family.

Colin Bellamy didn't dare to make the decision himself, so he came to Roark.

Roque would not pity Adam Stephen's family. It's just a dog biting a dog's mouth. In this matter, Roque can't offend the royal family. He will be cremated. What is Caesar's belongs to Caesar, and what is God's belongs to God.

On the other hand, when Owen came to see Rock, he said some disrespectful words.

"Don't think too much. Many things cannot be changed by the democratic representative system. Many times, the status of a member will become a talisman. It depends on the person you are facing. Sometimes, the status of a member can also be a talisman. Unfortunately, many people cannot understand this."

Rock is reasonable. Both the British Constitution and the Bible emphasize that everyone is equal. Can they really be equal?

Just listen to these words, don't take them seriously.

If Adam Stephen were to be his general manager honestly, and stop trying to make a presence felt in the Mining Alliance, and stop getting involved in those messy things in the Parliament, he might not be overturned now. It’s just because he had to look forward to Shu, and his morality was not suitable for him, so he fell down.

To this end today.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people who don't know the inside story, the death of Adam Stephen is also the reason for Rock. After all, Adam Stephen and Rock have not opposed each other twice.

Rock doesn't care, and he certainly won't explain it. If someone really thinks so, then it doesn't matter.

"How could I not think about it? Being a member of parliament is something that countless ordinary people dream of. For many members of the parliament, what they have worked hard for all their lives is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people. After all, I

Isn't the Speaker worth mentioning and might die quietly for some reason at any time?" Owen thought a little too much, but this worry was also very reasonable.

"How is it possible? You are Owen Matilda. In Johannesburg, no one can take you away easily." Rock was still sure of this.

As a member of the Matilda family, anyone who wants to deal with Owen must consider the strength of the three barons Philip, Roque, and Henry. Philip is the mayor of Johannesburg, Roque is the commander of the Johannesburg garrison, and Henry is

The ultimate boss of the entire Transvaal police system, even if the royal family wants to deal with Owen, they still have to weigh the consequences.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Adam Stephen was killed was because Adam Stephen himself had no strength. All the power came from the royal family, but he still wanted to join the National Party for an illusory status as a member of the parliament. The leader of the National Party, Arnold, was also Mattie.

Members of the Erda family, even if Adam Stephen did not cheat, Adam Stephen's boss would not allow this to happen.

"You know that's not what I meant." Owen's expression was not much lighter.

"I know what you are thinking, but I want to remind you that Johannesburg, as well as the Transvaal, and the entire southern Africa, even if they implement a democratic representative system, they will still be part of the Commonwealth. Unless one day, southern Africa is completely independent, maybe

It can reduce part of the influence of the royal family on southern Africa. Note that it is only part of it. These are the rules of the game. If you don't accept it, then you don't have to participate. As long as you participate, it means that you have accepted the rules, unless you can change the rules.

." Roque knew what Owen wanted to say, but that was unrealistic. People lived with too many last resorts. Wherever there were people, there were rivers and lakes. Even the rights of the royal family were now restricted by the parliament, the government, and the entire aristocratic group.

It is also for this reason that Roque values ​​noble status so much.

If Adam Stephen is also a noble, then even the royal family cannot kill Adam Stephen so easily.

To kill a noble, one must consider the counterattack of the entire noble group.

The reason why Owen complained to Rock was because he was stimulated by the death of Adam Stephen and complained that the parliamentary group was not respected.

If the royal family can easily kill a noble, then the entire noble group will be in danger and worry about whether this will happen to them next moment. Charles I was killed because he offended too many people.

His own citizens were guillotined.

From 1642 to 1651, a series of armed conflicts and political struggles occurred between the British Parliamentarians and the Royalists, which was called the English Civil War.

On the surface, the British Civil War was a war between the emerging bourgeoisie and old interest groups. In fact, many aristocrats at that time also supported the bourgeoisie, and everything was at work.

"No one can change the rules." Irving believed that he could not change the rules and made an arbitrary conclusion.

Rock just smiled and said nothing. Owen can't change the rules, but it doesn't mean that others can't.

When Rock came to Cape Town, Chinese people could not even serve as police chiefs. The ceiling for Indians was inspectors, and it was basically impossible to go higher.

Before the Chinese came to Johannesburg in large numbers, everyone thought that people of color would never have the right to vote.

When Rock began to build Nyasaland, everyone believed that the construction of Africa was inseparable from the Zulu people.

Roque did not argue with those people, but changed these existing facts bit by bit. Facts have proved that the rules are made by people, and of course they can be changed by people.

But there is no need to say these words to Irving, they are a bit too shocking.

"Take your time. Now Johannesburg has just begun to implement the democratic representative system. Even if you want to clear up the royal family's rights, it will always take a process and it cannot be done overnight." Rock still comforted Owen and always wanted to give Owen some hope.

"Can't Steven Hewlett be held accountable? Even if the mastermind behind the scenes can't be held accountable, then it would be fine if Steven Hewlett could be held accountable. At least the public can be given an explanation." Irving still said.

Not reconciled.

"It has already been explained that Adam Stephen committed suicide!" Rock pretended to be stupid.

"You know what's going on, so don't say such self-deceiving words." Owen was angry, thinking that Rock was perfunctory.

"It's useless. Holding Steven Hewlett accountable will not change the facts. Instead, it will lead to accidents in the democratic representative system in southern Africa. Don't forget that the democratic representative system in Johannesburg is just a trial." Rock reminded Owen not to do this.

So optimistic.

Don't think that the democratic representative system is now a certainty. Adam Stephen's death may just be the royal family testing whether the royal family's interests will be affected after the implementation of the democratic representative system in Johannesburg. So in any case, Adam Stephen can only commit suicide.

Irving finally remained silent. In front of the democratic representative system, Adam Stephen is really insignificant.

Although Rock firmly opposed holding Steven Hewlett accountable in front of Owen, looking back, Rock still told Sam to monitor Steven Hewlett. If Steven Hewlett

Hewlett just forget it. If Steven Hewlett commits other wrongdoings, Rock will find a way to make Steven Hewlett pay the price.

Like Adam Stephen before him, Steven Hewlett is also the "house dog" of the royal family. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, but not to teach the dog a lesson. He can even teach the dog a lesson through the owner.

If the owner does it himself, there will be no problem.

In April, Arthur's photo suddenly appeared in a newspaper in Johannesburg. Although the black and white photo could not tell the color of Arthur's hair and eyes, the black and white words on the newspaper clearly confirmed that Arthur himself was

Has obvious oriental ancestry.

It's just that it's not explicitly stated that Arthur is Roark and Ada's child.

Sadly, when Roark learned the news, Phyllis had already read the newspaper. Although Phyllis didn't say anything, she took Gavin back to the mayor's residence that day.

"The Star, very good, let's get rid of this trouble." Rock didn't talk nonsense and didn't care why the editor of the Star got Arthur's photo. He directly threw the newspaper with Arthur's photo to Xia.

Nine, let Xia Jiu figure it out.

Xia Jiu's method was simple and crude. That night, a fire broke out in "The Star". Although there were no casualties, the printing press, ink, and paper used to print the newspaper were all burned.

This was not over yet. Early the next morning, "The Star" was seized due to safety hazards. The newspaper had to make rectifications and pass the police inspection before it could continue to be published. The newspaper owner also had to compensate for the losses caused to two nearby merchants due to the fire.

.

One of them suffered particularly serious losses. It was said to be a carpet merchant's warehouse. Because the fire spread, carpets worth 100,000 pounds were burned. The carpet merchant filed a lawsuit with the Johannesburg court on the same day, demanding compensation for all losses from the owner of "The Star".

The total direct and indirect losses amounted to 150,000 pounds, which is definitely a huge sum of money. It is estimated that the owner of "The Star" will go bankrupt.

It was only then that Rock learned that Arnold was actually a shareholder of "The Star".

However, Roark couldn't care about Arnold at this time, so he had to find a way to bring Phyllis back first. The Baron's Mansion couldn't live without its mistress.
