"what happened?"
"Did the police solve some big case?"
"I heard that Detective Hua Lei Luo convened a press conference!"
The press conference room of the Wan Chai Police Station in Hong Kong was crowded with people. Several media reporters who received the news rushed over and were ready.
"I'm not sure, but look at this formation, something big is going to happen!"
While they were discussing, Lei Luo came out.
There was a commotion.
Lei Luo, wearing a suit and sunglasses, took the stage alone.
"Forgive me for being late!"
"Detective Lei, can you tell me something?"
"Be patient, I will tell everyone the truth soon!" Lei Luo pressed his hands to silence the scene.
"At this moment, I am standing here, not as a police detective, but as an ordinary citizen." Lei Luo said in a deep voice, "As a law enforcer, I have always hated violence, but I didn't expect what happened to me yesterday. Violence!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Is he joking?"
"Don't police always use violence to catch thieves?"
The reporter scoffed.
Lei Luo took off his sunglasses.
Wow!
There was an uproar.
One of Lei Luo's eyes was black and blue, and it looked like he had been beaten.
"Wow, no? How dare someone hit Lei Luo?"
"What happened to Lei Luo?"
It was so weird that the reporters at the scene were a little confused.
Lei Luo continued: "Everyone has seen it, my eyes--" Lei Luo pointed to himself, "The reason why I was beaten like this is very simple. I just expressed my personal opinion, and then I was beaten by a group of people. !」
"Here, I don't want to accuse those who hit me, because they have reasons to do so!" Lei Luo changed the topic, "The reason why I want to call everyone here is just to make my personal opinions public and let everyone discuss them. Let’s find out whether I am right or wrong.”
Lei Luo's words made the reporter confused, "Detective Lei, tell the truth, what opinions did you put forward?"
"Yeah, why did the other party have such a big reaction?"
The scene became curious.
Some wily reporters speculated whether Lei Luo was acting in this way?
Not far away, Detective Hua Lan Gang and Han Sen, who had just come to join in the fun, were also looking at the stage with great curiosity.
"Brother Luo was fine yesterday, why did his eyes turn blue today?"
"Even Brother Luo dares to fight. How much energy does this person have to have?"
"Tell me, who did Brother Luo offend?"
"Didn't you hear that he made some damn suggestions and then got beaten up?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Luo to have such a day? Do you think it was his sister-in-law who beat him? Or it was his father-in-law, Baifanyu!" Lan Gang held a cigarette in his mouth with a smirk on his face.
"The suggestion I made is very simple -" Lei Luo took a deep breath with a sad expression, "I'm just saying that I, Lei Luo, have decided to advocate the government to abolish the laws of the Qing Dynasty, especially polygamy!"
boom!
The scene exploded!
"What? Abolish the Qing laws?"
"Abolition of polygamy?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Not to mention the media reporters, even Lan Gang was so surprised that he almost dropped his cigarette on the ground.
Han Sen also looked at the stage in surprise.
Several Inspectors Hua next to them shook their heads: "Brother Luo, you're crazy!"
The British colonial government in Hong Kong has been pursuing the so-called "Chinese law governing the Chinese" policy since it ruled Hong Kong in 1841. Simply put, British law governs the British, and Chinese law governs the Chinese. And the United Kingdom is a so-called common law country, so It is to manage the Chinese in accordance with the "Qing laws" and continue the Manchu "customs". Therefore, the Chinese in Hong Kong can take concubines according to the Qing laws, but the British do not allow it.
It was not until almost more than a hundred years later that Hong Kong announced the status of a single husband in 1969.
The Monogamy Act made it no longer legal for Chinese in Hong Kong to keep concubines from 1971 onwards. However, existing polygamous marriages are still valid.
In other words, until 1971, concubinage or polygamy was legal in Hong Kong, and indeed a very few people did so. For example, Mr. Huo, how to be the king of gambling, etc.
It is now the end of 1967, and there is still more than a year before Hong Kong legislates the abolition of the polygamy system regulated by the Qing Dynasty. The upper-level discussions of the British Hong Kong government are intense, but the Hong Kong people are silent.
Those ghost guys who flaunt freedom and democracy really hope that a Chinese righteous man can stand up and sing with them, so that they can burn this fire even bigger.
Unfortunately, for many Hong Kong men, polygamy is a rare benefit. Everyone tacitly understands it and tries their best to protect it, so how can they take the initiative to ruin it?
For those big bosses who are in charge of Hong Kong's economy, how can they have the nerve to stand up and advocate polygamy when they all have wives with two, three, four, or even five-bedroom wives?
For those Hong Kong people who have no power, no money, and no women, it is meaningless to mention polygamy, because they have no right to speak at all! Not even the right to mate!
As a result, Hong Kong has fallen into a very contradictory state. The upper-class ghost class, which represents civilization, wants to help Hong Kong people move toward democracy and freedom and abolish polygamy.
However, the local people in Hong Kong remained silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
It was at this point in time that Du Yongxiao helped Lei Luo create a character, a brave fighter who risked his own life for democracy, freedom and women's rights!
The most important thing is Lei Luo's status. Detective Hua is a civil servant; his family is wealthy and he belongs to the middle class; there is only one wife in the family, and they love each other very much.
No matter what, Lei Luo is a perfect "role model".
"What we need is such a character!"
"Yes, the civilization of our British Empire will soon benefit the land of Hong Kong!"
"It is imperative to abolish the damn Qing Dynasty law on polygamy!"
In the closed-door meeting of the British Hong Kong government, several political figures were emotional.
"This guy named Lei Luo must be put to good use!"
"Being on our side is enough to embarrass him!"
"Yes, he wants to be enemies with so many people who support polygamy!"
"Then should we win over him and give him some benefits?"
"What can we give him?"
The ghost guys began to think deeply.
"Maybe---we can give him a nomination as Justice of the Peace!"
"Yes, just a nomination is enough to make him proud of his ancestors!"
Everyone was silent again.
A moment---
"What should we do next?"
"Of course it's to fan the flames!"
Immediately, the media controlled by the ghost took action.
The English-language "The Standard" ran a headline: "Hong Kong women's rights fighter is born, advocating the abolition of polygamy!"
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" also followed suit, "The century-old system is abolished today, and a Chinese detective awakens!"
Followed by "***": "Inspector Hua Lei Luo roars, the abolition of polygamy is right before our eyes!"
gradually---
The entire Hong Kong, from top to bottom, began to lose control because of Lei Luo's announcement.
