Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the San Francisco Peninsula in California, there was the largest city on the west coast of North America at this era.
The city's official name is San Francisco, and most of the Chinese who came to North America called San Francisco by its first few words.
In a few years' time, it will be called San Francisco, because of the world-class gold mines nearby.
Unlike the eastern United States, California is not dominated by Anglo-Saxons, with Indians, Asians, and Latas making up a large part of the population, making it a very ethnically diverse region.
On this day, two snow-white sailboats arrived at the port of San Francisco.
On one of the larger ships, Tian Daoquan asked, "Since San Francisco is the largest city in California, the governor's mansion should be here?"
Ji Aojian said with a smile, "I've heard Mexicans say that the self-reliance movement in California is very extensive, most of the cities have been autonomous, and the governor has been vacant for a long time, and now I can't say where the government should be. The cities of San Francisco had their own legislatures that elected their own executive officers and judiciary, and did not necessarily buy the governor's account. ”
"So what do we do?"
"Remain silent for the time being, and deal with the local forces first. ”
Just then, there was an uproar below.
Ji Aojian leaned down, "Mr. Harold, what's wrong?"
Harold was arguing with someone in the harbor when he looked up and shouted, "Your Excellency the Marquis, these policemen are going to search our ship!"
A white man in a police uniform next to him also looked up, "You're the owner of these two boats? I'm Bruce, the deputy sergeant of the city's police department." Now we suspect that there is smuggled goods on your ship, and it must be checked!"
"Smuggling?" Ji Aojian asked suspiciously. "Isn't this a free city, and there are even trade barriers?"
"San Francisco is, of course, a free port, but drugs are not allowed to flow in. Bruce shouted, "According to reports from zealous citizens, you have opium and marijuana on your boat, which is a felony!"
Ji Aojian looked at him for a while, "Then you guys come up and search." ”
The sailors on board were dumbfounded.
Harold was anxious and shouted. "Your Excellency the Marquis, this is not going to work!"
"The police are performing their official duties, how can we not actively cooperate?" Ji Aojian shook his head, "Mr. Harold, you have to abide by the law and be a model citizen." ”
Harold kept his mouth shut, thinking to himself that the Marquis was a decent man. He will definitely abide by the law, and it is useless to persuade him.
Bruce triumphantly led a group of officers onto the White Swan, and was surprised to see a green horse walking around on the deck, "You still have horses on the ship?"
Tiandaoquan said, "This is a gift from the Emperor of Mexico to the Marquis of my family. ”
Bruce scoffed. "And the marquis, it's the same as it really is. With a wave of his hand, he said to his opponent, "You go and search." ”
Soon after, several policemen rushed to the deck. Shouted loudly, "Sheriff Bruce." We've got the evidence!"
As he spoke, he looked at a bag in his hand and poured it on the ground, and suddenly there was a pile of tobacco on the ground.
Tiandaoquan was furious, pulled out half of the blade, and shouted at the sailors, "Which bastard of you dares to hide drugs in private?"
The sailors were aggrieved and shouted, "We really don't have drugs!"
"I've been following His Excellency the Marquis for half a year, and I've never had a chance to get off the ship, how can I buy drugs?"
Tiandaoquan thought about it, this White Swan had been at sea for many months, and even if a few addicts had hidden some drugs, they would have run out long ago, so how could they stay until now.
Bruce looked at Ji Aojian, "What do you have to say about this 'Marquis' gentleman?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "I have nothing to say. ”
Bruce snorted, "Don't think that by instructing a few of your subordinates to come forward and face the guilt, you can fool this matter over. I have reason to suspect that you are a drug trafficking syndicate, and you are the leader of the drug trafficking cartel, who specially planned and organized it, and is the main culprit in this drug trafficking case. ”
Ji Aojian coughed, "It's reasonable for you to be so suspicious." ”
Bruce nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, you have a cooperative attitude." In that case, you should go with me to the police station to record a confession, and then confess all your drug trafficking crimes. ”
The sailors shouted, "Your Excellency the Marquis, you can't go, those policemen will definitely beat you up!"
Ji Aojian asked Bruce, "You say we are a drug trafficking gang, do you only need me to go to the police station alone?"
"You're the main culprit, just open a gap in you, you don't have to go to so many people. ”
"That's right. Ji Aojian turned back to the sailors and said, "This sergeant doesn't need you to go to the police station, which means that you have not committed a crime." When I get off the ship, you will sail out of San Francisco. ”
"No one is allowed to leave!" Bruce heard that it didn't taste right, and hurriedly shouted, "All the people on your two boats, go to the police station with me!"
Ji Aojian smiled and said, "There are a total of three hundred and twenty-six people on our two boats, Mr. Sheriff, please prepare food." ”
One of the officers pulled his boss and said, "Mr. Bruce, there's no place for so many guys in the police station." ”
Bruce said angrily, "I always come up with a solution, no matter how many criminals are caught, I'm afraid I won't be able to take them in!"
Ji Aojian reminded, "Before the court formally convicts, please call us suspects, we are not criminals at the moment." ”
Bruce glared at him fiercely, "You know the law well, don't you?"
"Since I am a decent person who abides by the law, how can I not seriously study the spirit of the law?"
His Excellency the Marquis had great prestige on these two ships, and since he had decided to cooperate with the police, more than three hundred stout sailors followed the dozen policemen honestly.
An armed fleet that could have swept through the navies of many countries in the Americas collapsed.
The San Francisco police department is a two-story house that obviously can't accommodate a few hundred people. Bruce told the sailors to stay outside, and asked Ji Aojian to go in alone.
Tiandaoquan shouted, "Master!"
Ji Aojian turned around and said, "Don't worry, Quan'er, I am also familiar with Western law, and I will not suffer." ”
Tiandaoquan gritted his teeth and said nothing.
A policeman walked up to her and said, "You can't come to the police station with a weapon...... You can't break the knife, leave it to me. ”
Tiandao Quan shouted angrily, "Get out!"
The policeman's face turned red, and he shouted angrily, "What are you talking about, you can't refuse the police?"
Tian Dao Quan pulled out his knife and pointed at the policeman in front of him, and a chilling murderous aura immediately locked on him.
The sailors craned their necks one by one, gloating at the scene in front of them, waiting for Tiandao Quanbiao to cut off the policeman's head with a knife.
Ji Aojian walked over and said, "Quan'er, give me the knife." He reached out and took the long knife.
The police chief breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a chill on his back, he was intimidated by the murderous aura in a short period of time just now, and he was already sweating.
He forced himself to calm down and said, "It's better for you to know the law and abide by the law, give me the knife." ”
Ji Aojian smiled, "Who said they were going to give you the knife?"
Throwing the broken knife to the ground, the blade of the knife slammed into the stone floor like tofu, and in an instant only the handle was exposed.
"When this case is over, Quan'er, I will pull out the knife and return you. ”
After Ji Aojian spoke, he raised his feet and walked into the gate of the police station.
Deputy Sheriff Bruce was annoyed and yelled at his subordinates, "What are you doing here, why don't you pull out the murder weapon quickly?"
brought the criminal over for interrogation, and he was actually stabbed at the door of the police station to stand up, which is simply the opposite!
Several policemen came up and pulled the handle of the knife up vigorously, sweating profusely, but the handle of the knife still did not move.
Harold laughed, "That's probably the legendary Sword in the Stone, do you think you're King Arthur's reincarnation?"
The sailors shouted together, "Dear Mr. Harold, you have a point. ”
Bruce grimaced, "Who the hell is you shipowner?"
Harold said, "He is a prominent man in the East, and he is also a great wizard with infinite mana. "I racked my brains as to how to describe the majesty of the Marquis," ...... And the most outstanding pirate captain in the Pacific for 500 years!"
Seeing that he had vented his bottom, Tiandaoquan said angrily, "You are a pirate, and your whole family is a pirate!"
Harold said aggrievedly, "Your Excellency the Marquis said that he was born in a pirate family, and his whole family is really pirates. ”
Bruce took a deep breath and said to the policeman beside him, "This Oriental is very mysterious, quickly find the sheriff, maybe only she can deal with this kind of guy." ”.
