Just half an hour earlier, a well-fed Swift had suggested a seat in the bar.

It has to be said here that the Rhodesia Hotel offers a wide range of alcohol, from brandy from France to tequila from South America, even if you have vodka, this kind of hotel can't get in, but there are bars.

Although Swift works at the Ministry of Agriculture, the situation at the Ministry of Agriculture does not allow Swift to drink brandy from France anytime and anywhere.

At the Rhodesia Hotel, all the consumption must not be paid for by Swift himself, so Swift accidentally drank a little too much, and after drinking, he had to go to the bar to have a good time, and Carlos couldn't persuade him.

When he arrives at the bar, Swift is also restless, and the variety of cocktails makes Swift simply forget about it, and accidentally touches a lady's buttocks.

In the bar, this kind of thing is actually very common, so fights in the bar are also very common, if Swift is really careless, sincerely apologize and then invite someone to have a drink, the average person does not care, they are all here to have fun and relax, if you really can't even accept this, don't come to the bar and simply go to the café, but after Swift touched it, he put his finger under his nose and sniffed it, and then whistled very loudly.

The consequences are severe.

After Louis Botha heard what had happened, he felt that the foie gras was not fragrant at all.

Roque didn't need Louis Botha to speak at all, and glanced at Zack, who had no sense of presence next to him, and Zach immediately went to deal with it.

It's much easier than dealing with Bright Hopkins crashing into a statue of Cecil Rhodes.

"Why do outsiders always make such and such mistakes when they come to Nyasaland, I now feel that they are simply mentally retarded." Xiao Si spat fragrantly, the Italian sculptor was not done yet, and the square Cecil Rhodes without the statue was like losing a soul.

"Swift used to be pretty good, he was just drunk—" Louis Botha didn't take it to heart.

"It's certainly not the first time he's been drunk, and it's not the first time he's done something like this, it's just that he wasn't in Nyasaland before, so no one dared to detain him." Roque didn't take it to heart, don't be too demanding of people in this era, quality, morality, or anything is too far away, scum is available anytime, anywhere, but the proportion of scum in this era is higher, and there are more in colonial countries like southern Africa.

Roque does not dwell on philosophical questions such as the inherent goodness of human nature or the inherent evil of human nature, Roque only proceeds from reality.

There are also many people in Nyasaland who seem to be loyal and treacherous, so Roque never talks about life with others, only uses strict laws and regulations to regulate people's behavior, and those who violate the rules will be punished, not to mention that those who don't know anything are not to blame, or the law is nothing more than human feelings, that is all an excuse.

"Why don't you dare?" Louis Botha wasn't pretending to be confused, he really didn't realize what was going on.

Or rather, Louis Botha simply doesn't pay attention to such small things.

"Because Swift works in the Ministry of Agriculture, because Swift is behind you, put this sign out, and most things can be settled." Luo Ke mocked, Hades likes to see that little ghosts are difficult to deal with, this is the reason, some people have to amplify even a little bit of power to the extreme, otherwise they will not be able to show superiority.

O feudal remnant!

"Then why is it so uneven in Nyasaland?" Louis Botha must also protect his shortcomings, which is also human nature.

"Because in Nyasaland, everybody's backstage is me, and Nyasaland is my territory." Roque's voice was not high, but it was not refutable.

The strong dragon is not that it does not suppress the ground head snake, but it does not disdain to deal with the ground head snake at all, let alone the strong snake and the ground head dragon.

"What would you do if both sides were Nyasaland?" Louis Botha did not argue and was more interested in Roque's way of dealing with it.

"How to deal with it, it's illegal to touch someone's ass casually, the lady who was violated by Swift can shoot Swift to death, can you accept the result of this treatment?" Roque was calm, and Nyasaland followed the British tradition of advocating the principle of unlimited defence.

This unlimited defense is really not the first in the United States, the ancient Rome's "Twelve Bronze Tables" stipulates that the thief who is found to be stealing at night can be killed directly, and the "Tang Law Shu Yi" also stipulates: Those who enter the house without reason at night should be punished with forty lashes, and if the master immediately kills the person, the master is not guilty.

In his 1801 book "Treatise on Criminal Law," he expanded the idea of unlimited defense to the extreme, and in the book, he believed that in order to protect one's property rights from infringement, even if it was a minor offense, the most severe means of defense, including deprivation of life, could be adopted.

Nyasaland's rules in this regard are stricter and more specific, and when the homeowner comes home, he can shoot the stranger in his home and shoot the stranger.

Of course, if you drink too much and go to the wrong door, but kill someone in someone else's house, this is murder, and you will also have to bear legal responsibility.

For this result, Louis Botha was obviously unacceptable, so Louis Botha did not speak.

"That's why Swift is so unscrupulous." Xiao Si chuckled, the law of Rhodesia is exactly the same as the law of Nyasaland, the law of Nyasaland was written by the professors of the Law School of the University of Nyasaland organized by Roque, Xiao Si thought it was very good, so he simply used it.

Save money!

"It's too harsh to touch your ass and shoot it directly." Louis Botha felt overkill.

"When the Nyasaland **** will legislate, I have only one request, I said to Professor Constance, think about what you want to do if the crime happened to you? Then there was the current Constitution of Nyasaland. "Roque made the best use of the people, and Professor Constance's daughter died in the escalation of crime, so you can imagine how jealous and hateful Professor Constance was.

The vast majority of the Virgins who call for human rights and advocate the rights of criminals do not have a backache when they stand and talk, they live in high-ranking residential areas with good security, and work in deep mansions with strict security, and people at the same level are at most tax evasion, and the crimes of theft, robbery, and rape are too far away from them, and the criminals who will commit these crimes cannot approach them at all, so they have no immediate pain.

This is also the reason why although the requirements of English law for tax evasion are strict, the penalties are not severe.

For these low-level crimes, the punishment in Britain is very heavy, and it does not even give a chance to repent and reform.

The fundamental reason is that the people who make the law are rich people, so they don't make mistakes that can be solved with money.

"What if it wasn't meant to?" Louis Botha still disagrees.

"Don't find faults, if you really don't mean to, then you will apologize sincerely, not a dirty whistle, not to mention that not everyone can shoot and kill, if you really want to meet a guy who kills like hemp, then you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you may choke to death when you eat." Roque is not soft-hearted, the law is meant to protect the interests of the majority, not the minority, and in Nyasaland's upcoming Traffic Act, the death penalty for driving while intoxicated can be carried out.

Too heavy a penalty?

Don't drink and it'll be fine, don't touch the car when you drink, you have to drive after drinking, you will shout injustice if something happens, and the emotional law can be changed casually.

"You're right, we can't skip eating because we might choke on it." Louis Botha only agrees with this part, and will reserve his opinion on the others: "Carlos, send Swift back to Orange and hand him over to the police station." ”

Roque endured it and didn't speak, this face still has to be given, and it didn't cause serious consequences anyway, even if the police in Nyasaland deal with it, in the current situation, most of them are fines and compulsory labor.

In fact, this kind of compromise is a harm to the law, but politics is the art of compromise, and it is important not to go on the line, and an insignificant Swift cannot affect the already weak friendship between Roque and Louis Botha.

Of course, the main reason for this downplay is that the consequences of Swift's actions are not serious, if Swift commits serious crimes in Nyasaland, then Roque will definitely not compromise, and whether or not to cause the relationship between Roque and Louis Botha to deteriorate because of Swift is a question for Louis Botha to consider.

"It seems that we are going to print the law in a book and give it to every out-of-towner who comes to Nyasaland." Xiao Si is very relaxed, no matter what Roque and Louis Botha do, Xiao Si doesn't care who dies or lives.

"They have to understand it." Roque was helpless, he needed a relatively high level of literacy to understand the law, and it was not enough to be literate, let alone the miserable literacy rate in southern Africa.

"There is no way, the ten states in southern Africa, plus the federal government and the local government, have more than a dozen constitutions, and there are dozens or hundreds of criminal laws, civil laws, commercial laws, and tax laws, and those professionals can understand them." Louis Botha was also helpless, if it weren't for the complexity of the legal system, the lawyer profession would not be so fragrant.

Considering that the specific legal provisions are all made by people in the industry, it is really scary to think about it.

Roque and Xiao Si did not speak on this issue, the legislative capital of southern Africa is Bloemfontein, although the legislative capital is of little significance, but this pot can be thrown at Bloemfontein.

At this moment there was another commotion at the door, and Louis Botha's face immediately became ugly.

Roque and Smalls couldn't hear it, but Louis Botha could certainly hear it, and it was Swift who was making noise outside the door.

"Sorry for the housekeeping." Louis Botha didn't mean to let Roque and Xiao Si interfere, and he could politely apologize when he got up.

Housekeeping!

No wonder Louis Botha had such a high reputation among the Boers.
