Chapter 659 Capture Sassoon (fourth update, please subscribe)
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building, like most Ming government buildings, has a strong Chinese architectural style.According to another world, there is a layer of big eaves. Of course, it is not just that. Now Daming is combining traditional architectural styles with modern architectural science to form its own architectural features. It is not just about learning from the West. After all, as an influential civilization, it must have its own characteristics.

Although it was late at night, many rooms in this building with a strong Chinese architectural style were still lit.

"Have you found any evidence?"

Zhu Guozhong, Ming's "top uncle", was sizing up Zhao Kai who was sitting opposite the desk with his hands on his knees in a somewhat cautious manner.

Zhao Kai is the first generation of international students trained by Nanhua. He once studied in the UK to study law. When he came to Nanhua, he was born as a scholar and felt that his future was bleak. So when he learned that he could be admitted to study abroad, he hugged it and gave it a try. I took the exam with a mentality, and then became the first batch of international students to study in Europe.

Although Zhao Kai studied law in the UK, he did not enter the Ministry of Justice of Ming Dynasty, because he specialized in international law when he was in the UK, and he was able to make the best use of him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However.

In this world, international law is what big countries say. For weak countries, under normal circumstances, everyone will not abide by international law. Well, sometimes they will try their best to find some loopholes in international law.

In this regard, Zhao Kai can be regarded as a master. For example, in the international mediation of the "Los Angeles Incident", Daming relied on some provisions in international law on the protection of expatriates to "investigate the legal responsibility of the culprit" and directly distorted the legal provisions—because There is no provision in the terms of who will judge. Since there is no provision, then of course it can be handled by Daming.

In the end, the Americans had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and watched as Deming brought their people from the United States to Deming for trial.

In the end, 57 people were sentenced to death, and more than 150 people were sentenced to life imprisonment.This is true fairness and justice!

The reason why Zhao Kai, an expert in international law, was called here this time was to legalize the issue of "long-arm jurisdiction".

"Master Shangshu..."

Zhao Kai spoke seriously.

"At present, there is no international public law that can legalize "long-arm jurisdiction"! However, it is not impossible to use it flexibly."

His answer almost choked Zhu Guozhong who had just picked up his teacup to drink water.

"Use it flexibly? Although I don't know how to use it flexibly, I don't think there is any problem. However, how do you plan to implement it?"

After clearing his throat, Uncle Zhu Guo resumed his calm expression and said,
"If you want to be legal, then negotiate separately, that is, let Peru and other neighboring countries agree to allow us to enter their country for law enforcement."

"Enter their country for law enforcement?"

"That's right,"

Zhao Kai nodded vigorously, and then spoke.

"It is to sign a targeted "Anti-Drug Treaty" with them, and let them agree with our people to go in and arrest those drug traffickers. I think as long as we express our strong will, they will definitely agree."

What is strong will?

Of course... I have used my strength to talk to them, but if they don't accept it, I have to think about the consequences.Well, of course, this is also a friendly negotiation!

If they don't accept it, uh...well, just put more pressure on it.

"Your suggestion is good, but you can't quench your thirst far away,"

Uncle Zhu Guo continued,

"Now His Majesty is very angry, so you need to use something to calm His Majesty's anger, don't you think so, so, you want to find a way for me?"

"There is no way..."

Zhao Kai said.

"Actually, I have a crazy plan, but it doesn't seem very reliable..."

"How crazy, you might as well talk and listen."

"If it's possible, you can actually send people in to arrest it. If you catch it, it will become a fait accompli. As for the public international law, it doesn't matter so much,"

Zhao Kai was willing to go all out, he clearly broke the law knowingly.But as long as it doesn't violate the laws of Ming Dynasty and violates the laws of other countries, what's the big deal?
Of course, this isn't just breaking the laws of other countries.It is a violation of the sovereignty of other countries.

But the rules of the game in this world are like this, if the strength is not as good as others, then you can only swallow your anger.

"Anyway, public international law, that's what it is. It's just drawn as a banner, and used when needed. Strong countries bully weak countries, and they don't care about violating any public laws."

"Not necessarily all weak countries,"

Zhu Guozhong said,
"There are British people among those drug dealers. If we directly take people, it may cause diplomatic disputes. After all, we are not the only ones who know how to protect overseas Chinese."

Uh... Even Midi's "long-arm jurisdiction" only cares about weak countries!Of course, it is still a friendly negotiation with a powerful country.

"There are always loopholes to find, you just have to figure out a way!"

……

"Sassoon!"

Opening the document on the desktop, Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"Since the opium imported into Peru comes from his Sassoon firm, let's bring him here!"

Sassoon, this name is not too familiar!
In another world, the Sassoon family is the most famous foreign family in Shanghai. Almost from the day Shanghai was opened as a port, they continued to sell opium in Shanghai, while selling their own cotton textiles, and began to expand their business into the real estate industry.They bought opium from India and sold it in China. After making profits, they built textile factories in India, produced textiles and dumped them in China. After making profits, they invested in real estate in Shanghai, forming their own closed-loop economy.

In this business chain, opium trafficking is still the main source of funds. Just from 1880 to 1911, the Sassoon family made more than 7 million silver dollars from opium.

Moreover, with the rapid prosperity of Shanghai, the land and housing prices in Shanghai continued to rise. They even used the huge profits obtained from selling opium to buy a large amount of land and buildings, and the number of real estate properties under their names reached thousands.

Emperor Zhu did not know how rich the Sassoon family was in the other world, but what is certain is that every penny their family earned was stained with Chinese blood.

In this world, even after Shanghai was recovered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and became a military port of the Kingdom of Heaven, they could not stop Sassoon—they just transferred their business from Shanghai to Haizhou, the Haizhou in northern Jiangsu, which is the birthplace of later generations. Lianyungang has implicitly become the Shanghai of this time and space.

As in another world, they continue to earn wealth in that adventurer's paradise and continue to capture the blood and sweat of the Chinese people.

Maybe decades later, facing the anti-drug trend, they will turn their backs and not become legal businessmen, but this will not change their nature as opium dealers.

And what is more intolerable?

After they turned into legitimate businessmen, they continued to enjoy the glory and wealth they gained by poisoning the Chinese.

There is no way to change the Great Emperor Zhu in another world, but for the Sassoon family in this world, at least he has the ability to guarantee that they will no longer be able to build their family's glory and wealth on the blood and tears of the Chinese people.

"Your Majesty, he is English!"

Minister of Justice Zhang Zhaoyu reminded.

"And what about the English?"

He is just a Jew from British India. His ancestors earned their fortune by being a dog for the Turks in Baghdad, and now he is an opium dealer.
"No matter who they are, as long as they dare to transport opium to Daming, we will catch them back and use our laws to sanction them, the British..."

Emperor Zhu said with a cold smile.

"What's the big deal!"
