(2nd Update)

"Mr. Governor, you just said that you arrested thirteen foreigners, may I ask which nationality these thirteen people are, and besides, do you have the authority to arrest them?"

When the question session arrived, the foreign reporters who had just been blamed said impatiently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Kai looked at the person who asked the question unhurriedly, then turned his head to Cai Naihuang and said, "Commissioner Cai, you can answer this question." ”

After Cai Naihuang finished speaking, Ye Kai continued: "This governor is the governor of Liangjiang appointed by the Chinese government, and is the highest governor in charge of the military and political affairs of the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, and has the greatest responsibility to protect the peace of the two rivers. ”

"But they are foreigners, according to the two countries..."The foreign reporter was about to speak, but Zhou Jinzhen interrupted him, "Your opportunity to ask questions has been used, next." ”

Ye Kai interjected: "It seems that you are not satisfied with Bendu's answer, so let's do it, for your sake, Bendu will let you say one more word, remember, there is only one chance, pick a nutritious question." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Ye Kai waved his hand, and the man said unconvinced: "Mr. Governor, according to the practice of the two countries, within the boundaries of Shanghai, if the Chinese side arrests a foreign person without the consent of the foreign party, it should notify the consul in Shanghai as soon as possible, and then extradite the person to the concession authorities for interrogation by the concession court." ”

looked at Ye Kai and said in a cold voice: "This is agreed by the two governments, even if Your Excellency is the highest local governor, you must obey the jurisdiction of the central government, by the way, when does Governor Liang plan to return these thirteen arrested people?" ”

"Rules are made by people, conventions can be broken, there is no immutable law in the world, this friend won't even know this truth, right? As for when to release the people..."Ye Kai said lightly, "This governor has no such plans. ”

After answering, the scene was in an uproar.

"Or rather, before the extradition of wanted criminals in the concession?" Ye Kai added.

"Next" Zhou Jinzhen swept the press gallery below, and ordered another gringo, and the master of Taiwan deliberately instructed that more foreigners should be selected for the questions this time, and the sharper the questions, the better.

This person apparently took the question of the man just now, and as soon as he came up, he said: "Your Excellency, you do not intend to extradite the arrested persons, do you want to try them within the Chinese boundary?" If so, with all due respect, China's judicial system, full of backwardness, corruption, personal relations and abusive lynching, I dare not guarantee that our compatriots will receive a fair trial, and I am most pessimistic about the outcome. ”

After this person finished speaking, the foreigners around him cheered quietly, as if they had pinched Ye Kai's death hole, it is true that what he said was a reality, some Chinese people caused disputes, petitioned to fight a lawsuit in the concession, and were unwilling to come to the Chinese realm.

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

Seeing Ye Kai nodding, those foreign reporters suddenly looked bright.

"However, there is a fact that you must have overlooked, since the constitutional reform, the central government has established the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Yuan, the Audit Yuan, and the local courts have established provincial courts and local courts, all of which refer to your Western systems, so I am afraid that the term backward is exaggerated, in addition, the Governor can clearly tell you that these thirteen people will be subject to the fair judgment of the Shanghai Court, not the old Chinese Yamen, nor the lord, officials and legal blind people sitting in the court to hear cases, you can hire independent lawyers, or the Governor will send a lawyer, and the whole trial will be open to the public and subject to the inspection of all citizens. Ye Kai said unhurriedly.

"I'm afraid that I can't change the soup and ignore the medicine?" The foreign correspondent who asked the question was obviously a China expert.

"Of course, China is in a phase of strategic transformation, some problems are unavoidable, and the occasional pain should not be blamed as terminally ill, but instead of sitting back and waiting, why not give it a try? I heard that the cases in the Western Middle Ages were judged by lords and religious leaders, which were far more backward than the three legal divisions in my country at that time. ”

Ye Kai's words said that the foreign reporters were red-faced, don't Oriental people all believe in Confucianism, I didn't expect to know those black family backgrounds, Ye Kai's answer won the applause of the domestic reporters, and many people felt really relieved when they heard it.

The questioning session is still going on intensely, Chinese and foreign questions are staged in turn, after a few "mutual fights", foreign reporters are a little lacking in anger, this Mr. Governor is simply a smiling tiger type, a group of angry opponents throw away their armor, and most of the questions asked revolve around Ye Kai's tough approach to the outside world, which is the most basic bottom line, and it is also the link of the spread of nationalism.

Of course, a weak country has no diplomacy, and this truth is clear, but judging from the scene, the questions asked by these foreign reporters are not as sophisticated as those cent parties.

"One last question for the day, please raise your hand." Zhou Jinzhen slapped the table, "The foreign correspondent from No. 8 in the Southern District." ”

This is the last question of the day, and the journalist seems to have seized the opportunity very well, and she said: "May I ask you, Your Excellency, whether many of your practices have been instructed by the central government of your country, and how much of an obstacle they will cause to the diplomacy of the two countries?" You know, since the Boxer War, such peace has not come easily, and that's all my question, thank you. ”

Everyone looked at Ye Kai to see how he answered this important question involving diplomatic positions.

"You ask me whether I am authorized by the central government, this question involves government secrets, I am not convenient to answer, but I am a Chinese official, you can guess, also, you said that my approach will create diplomatic obstacles, I want to say that the obstacles are not caused by me, but complex historical reasons, in any case, this is a difficult problem, to solve this problem, we must find the root cause, why don't I ask you another question: when will the extrajudicial jurisdiction of foreign authorities in China be abolished?"

"Due to time constraints, today's press conference ends here, thank you reporters for coming."

After Zhou Jinzhen finished speaking, several people on the rostrum hurriedly dispersed, and the reporters and media below were still immersed in it, and this unprecedented atmosphere may not dissipate for a long time.

....

The next day, "Liangjiang Governor Liangbi Answers to Reporters" appeared in the British "Times" in succession, not only in Chinese, but also in English, they were transmitted by telegraph, and also appeared on the streets of London that day.

The word sensation is no longer enough to describe the excitement of this press conference, and the French newspaper Charles used a unique factual caricature to satirize: a grumpy fire-breathing dragon appeared on the screen, and several oily gringos choked the dragon's throat, but the flames emitted were unrecognizable.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the article, it is also written with emotion: China's press conference system is undoubtedly genius, thought-provoking, and fruitful, and I have to admit that this time they are ahead of us. The British government has done a mess in terms of the mechanism of dialogue between officials and the people, and we don't need arrogant prime ministers, ministers in the cabinet and civil servants with straight faces, as the Chinese say, they call "niangmen"!
