Chapter 1087 Justice of the Peace
Wang Lin asked in astonishment: "Why did I misunderstand you?"

Tang Jixian made a fake haha: "There is a good saying that a friend in need is a friend. I heard people say that you and Wenxiu didn't have a deep relationship, and I heard that you divorced her. I thought about it, you Being hijacked, this is an excellent opportunity to help you test whether Wenxiu is sincere to you. In order to save you, she agreed to divorce you, but she looked sad and depressed, and I knew that she had you in her heart , you two are really a husband and wife!"

Wang Lin shrugged his thick eyebrows and didn't know what to say for a while.

He clearly knew that Tang Jixian was trying to quibble, but it was understandable for the other party to say that!
Tang Jixian said: "Wang Lin, I did this because I love you. Don't take it to heart. If you and her are as deep as the sea, gossip and other people can't separate you."

A person like him has long been cultivated to be invulnerable to water and fire, and his skin is thicker than cowhide.

Wang Lin was also helpless about this, and said lightly: "You said a word, you said it was a joke, and you said it was a test of people's hearts, but my stupid woman took it seriously. Fortunately, I told her, I said I can escape this time , mainly relying on self-help. Although Uncle Tang helped me, I didn't really use his money, and he didn't make any big moves to help. So, even if there is any agreement between you and Uncle Tang, Ineffective. Because Uncle Tang didn't fulfill his original promise, and you don't have to pay the price for it. Uncle Tang, when I say that, she will be relieved."

Of course, this was for Tang Jixian to hear.

Tang Jixian laughed and said, "Yes, that's the truth. Wang Lin, you saved yourself. I just raised a hand and helped raise money. What's more, what I said to Wenxiu was just joking, and I just wanted to test her understanding of the situation. Are you sincere? I didn't expect her to be serious. After you go back, have a good chat with her and enlighten her. If she still blames me, you can let her come to me and I will tell her in person. "

Speaking of this, there is no need for Wang Lin to entangle this matter any longer.

Such is the case with powerful people, turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain, the left side is justified, and the right side is also justified.

Coming out of Tang Jixian's house, Wang Lin frowned slightly, looking at the dense dark clouds between the sea and the sky in a daze.

He had no intention of meddling with Xiangjiang's affairs, but accidentally got involved.

Wang Lin put his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, got into the car and left.

Back home, Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu had a good conversation.

He didn't say much to his wife, he only said that Tang Jixian was joking and wanted to see if you were sincere to me.Although this prank is a bit insincere, it has also deepened the relationship between us, so don't you take responsibility for him anymore?Let's just let this matter go, don't you think it's okay?

Li Wenxiu was very angry, saying that Tang Jixian is a famous rich man, I respect him, that's why I value what he said, I didn't expect him to make such a joke on me!How can marriage be a trifling matter?snort!I will never go to his house again!Wang Lin, you don't associate with him too much.

Wang Lin smiled and said, we only come to Xiangjiang for a few days in a year?How many times can I see Tang Jixian again?Just treat him like a normal friend.

Li Wenxiu snuggled into her husband's arms and asked him softly, do you like Tang Yan?
Wang Lin said with a smile, like you like, but I like a lot of women, maybe I can marry all of them home?No matter how many people I like, you are the only wife I have.Always and only you.You must make me dislike women outside, and I can promise you against my will, but will you believe it?
Li Wenxiu pouted, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, you are allowed to like it, but you are not allowed to take it home!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Hey, the implication of your words is that I can take the person I like outside to play?"

"You can play whatever you want, and I can still control you? Just don't let me find out." Li Wenxiu shook her head lightly, "I can only give you my love, and I am wholehearted in my heart for you. No, you just have to express your conscience.”

Wang Lin secretly said ashamed.

If Li Wenxiu knew about her messing around outside, what would happen to her?
Li Wenxiu suddenly said: "Wang Lin, do you know? After knowing what happened to you, Shen Xue and Zhou Porridge both cried, very sadly."

"Are they the only ones crying?"

"Of course I cried too. Wenjuan and Sister Lin were crying too!"

"Hey!" Wang Lin's sigh really came from the heart.

To be loved by so many confidante girls is considered a worthy life.

But, so many beauties!
Wang Lin has to disappoint several people!

Silent all night.

Because Wang Lin delayed his sleep and drank a lot, he slept very soundly at night.

The next morning, as soon as he woke up, he heard someone talking in the yard outside.

Judging from the voices, Wang Lin could recognize the voices of Li Jiaxin, Tang Yan, and Zhou Huimin.

They are all here!
Wang Lin got up and came downstairs.

"Wang Lin is up!" Li Wenxiu smiled, "Miss Tang, Miss Li, and Miss Zhou have all come to see you."

"Hehe, hello." Wang Lin walked into the yard with a smile, and shook hands with them.

Tang Yan looked at him carefully and made sure that there was no injury. Then she felt relieved and said softly, "You are so lucky. Go out to a party and become a hero!"

Wang Lin snorted, "I'd rather not be such a hero. What happened to your brother's company?"

"About the wharf." Tang Yan's face became a little melancholy when she mentioned work. "Recently, disputes at the wharf are not chaotic, especially at night. Many cargo ships of our company have been affected. One day There was a delay in the shipment, which had a huge impact on us."

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Lin thought, no wonder Tang Jixian was worried about the wharf dispute. It turned out that this matter has really become a big deal!

It's just that ordinary people don't know what happened in the dark at all, and their business will not be affected, so they won't pay attention.

Tang Yan said: "It's been going on for a while, and it won't stop for a while. How I wish there was a hero like you who came out to save the pier!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Isn't your father such a hero?"

"My dad, he's old." Tang Yan said, "The last time I dealt with Liu Dahai was already very difficult, and I didn't really defeat Liu Dahai. I heard that Liu Dahai is back again."

"Liu Dahai came out again? If he dared to come out, he must have found a new backer, right?"

"Well, I heard it is. But his power has been greatly damaged, and he can only make money in other industries in the future. It will be difficult to compete with my father. After this battle, my father is also a little discouraged Leng, I don't care much about the affairs of the Jianghu recently."

Wang Lin thought, you still don't know your father well enough.It's not that your father is disheartened, nor is it that he doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the Jianghu, but the situation in the Jianghu is complicated. Other associations can't see that your father's family is the only one, so they want to jointly suppress it.In order to avoid his sharp edge, your father retreated to advance.

"Mr. Wang!" Zhou Huimin said softly, "Thank you so much for what happened yesterday. Jiaxin and I would like to invite you to dinner."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Just treat me to dinner alone?"

Zhou Huimin said quickly: "Please have dinner together."

Wang Lindao: "Then we have a lot of family members, you have to prepare two tables, it will cost money!"

Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Thanks for saving my life, I can still afford two tables of meals."

Wang Lin looked at Li Wenxiu: "What do you think?"

Li Wenxiu said: "I listen to you."

Wang Lindao: "If there is something to eat, of course I will eat it."

Zhou Huimin smiled sweetly: "Then it's settled, we'll have dinner at Cuihua Restaurant at noon."

Wang Lin has been to Xiangjiang many times, and he has a certain understanding of the good restaurants and restaurants here.

Like the Regent Hotel and Cuihua Restaurant that I went to eat yesterday, they are all top-notch restaurants.

In order to repay Wang Lin's life-saving grace, Zhou Huimin could be said to have put his heart into it.

Wang Lin immediately agreed.

In the morning, everyone chatted in the villa, and didn't think about going down the mountain to play.

Near noon, Wang Lin and others were preparing to leave.

At this time, the sound of a car came from outside.

Wang Lin looked outside.

Good guy!
A dozen cars came.

Wang Lin asked the servant to open the courtyard door.

Because he saw that the car in front was Peng Jiakang's car.There is a police car guarding the back.

Wang Lin thought of what Peng Jiakang said last night, he said he would give Wang Lin some kind of award.

Could it be that they are here to present this award today?

What kind of award?

Reviewed so quickly?

Is it like giving a signed and stamped certificate like the three good students in the mainland?

That would be too much fun, right?
Peng Jiakang and others got out of the car and smiled at Wang Lin: "Mr. Wang, congratulations!"

Wang Lin smiled and shook hands with them: "Mr. Peng, where does the joy come from?"

Peng Jiakang said: "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, you have been awarded the title of Justice of the Peace."

"Justice of the Peace?" Wang Lin was both familiar and unfamiliar with this title.

I am familiar with it because I often watch Hong Kong movies. In many Hong Kong movies, such a title will be mentioned.

The stranger is that he doesn't know much about this so-called Justice of the Peace.

Justices of the peace can be said to have a long history in Xiangjiang.

Even after the reunification and the rebirth of the honors, the system of justices of the peace has been implemented in Xiangjiang for more than 150 years.This is a supervision and inspection system, the English name is: JUSTICES of THE PEACE, referred to as JP, originated in England in the 16th century.

Justices of the peace are divided into two categories: official and non-official justices. The former are automatically revoked when they leave office, while the latter are appointed by the government to the public. For example, Liu Tianwang is a non-official justice of the peace.

No matter who it is, it is proud and proud to be awarded such a title.

Before the reunification, the title of Justice of the Peace was appointed by the governor to make "significant contributions to Hong Kong society" to assist the government to maintain social order.It provides an independent channel for people in need to lodge complaints and allow relevant parties to investigate and follow up.Relevant decision-making departments can also use the opinions of justices of the peace to improve issues related to facility and service management.

With the stability of social governance, the scope of functions of justices of the peace only leaves symbolic powers, such as supervising the lottery lottery and listening to complaints from prison inmates.

Like in "Prison Storm", Fat Gor complained to the justice of the peace about the prison guards.

"When a justice of the peace sees a nuisance, he can order the nearby citizens to cooperate in countering the rebellion and arrest the criminals." The Hong Kong Government Administration of Hong Kong during the British period described the duties of a justice of the peace in this way, which sounds cool.Today, this creed still applies. As a symbol of social status, justice of the peace, honors, and awards should also be the conscience of society.

People who have obtained this title will be added the title of Justice of the Peace after their names when they attend formal occasions.

For example, if Wang Lin attends a certain event in Xiangjiang, the host will not say that Mr. Wang Lin is invited, but will say "Wang Lin, a JP, is invited."

Adding a title after a name is very un-Chinese, apparently a legacy of colonial times.

A justice of the peace, a gentleman is easy to understand, is a person with power and prestige in the local area, similar to the country gentry and member outsiders in ancient my country.The word "Taiping" shows that they are noble citizens who are authorized and rewarded by the government to maintain the local legal order and maintain social peace.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Xiangjiang society was mixed with good and bad people. All the powerful and influential people set up ports and opened shops here, and the public security was not good.The police at that time couldn't manage it, so they needed to rely on local gentlemen to assist in governance.

Especially in the police station at that time, the first class was foreign devils, and the second class was the third elder brother from India.These guys can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, and they can't calm down the riots when they go to the streets, they will only fight with the local people.

Therefore, those who have the ability to maintain social peace and calm social anger can only be local prestigious gentry.Moreover, the squires generally have business or interest contacts with the British, and the British Hong Kong Government can still manipulate them.

However, that was a century ago.Today the world is peaceful, and a justice of the peace has already become a symbol and an honor.Wang Lin, a justice of the peace, no longer needs to work as a community security officer like his predecessors a hundred years ago.

Non-official justices of the peace are generally selected by members of the selection committee for non-official justices of the peace, and then appointed by the governor. There are no special requirements for the appointees, and they are generally enthusiastic about public welfare or have contributed to Hong Kong society .

Generally speaking, the appointment is based on the terms and conditions that the relevant officer of Xiangjiang thinks is suitable for him to decide.

Wang Lin never expected that he would be awarded such a title!
Do you want to accept this title?

The reason why Wang Lin hesitated was because he was from the mainland.

He does not have a great sense of identity with this so-called title like Xiangjiang people.

If it was the Great Bauhinia Medal after the handover, then Wang Lin would definitely be very happy to accept it.

Li Jiaxin and other Xiangjiang people were extremely happy about this, they clapped their hands and applauded, cheering for Wang Lin to receive this honor.

Li Wenxiu saw her husband's hesitation, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Lindao: "Wenxiu, we are all mainlanders. This is a medal from the Hong Kong British Government Administration. Tell me, can I receive it?"

Li Wenxiu pursed her lips: "Isn't it just an honor? If you want it, you want it, if you don't want it, you don't want it, don't worry about it."

Wang Lin nodded, thinking about it.
