Chapter 71 Prohibition
Subtitle of this chapter: If it is big or small, then Master Yuan will definitely choose big.
………………………………………
"Mr. Neo Yuan, we are the Fort Myer Police Department, you have been arrested!"
“WTF?!”
"What are you guys doing?!"
"Yes, yes, why do you catch Neo?"
Before our Master Yuan could speak, the people around him were in a panic.
Mr. John McCall immediately asked, "Gentlemen, what's going on? I am Mr. Yuan's lawyer. What crime did my client commit?"
"Gentlemen, isn't this very obvious?" said the sheriff who only heard the lead, coldly, "Mr. Yuan violated the prohibition of alcohol in the first place..."
As soon as I heard the words "Prohibition" and everyone present suddenly became silent.
As we all know, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, officially came into effect in January 1920. According to this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport beverages with alcohol content of more than 0.5%.
The prohibition of alcohol is very strict. It is not illegal to drink at home by yourself, but drinking with friends or holding a banquet is illegal. You can be fined up to US$1,000 and imprisoned for half a year.
Yuan Yanshu and the others were drinking openly in front of tens of thousands of people, and they were drinking strong alcohol with an alcohol content of more than 40%. If this is not considered a violation of the prohibition, then what kind of behavior is considered a violation of the order?
Our Master Yuan is also a secret and never thought about this problem. The reason is that he has been staying in the circle of upper-class people in New York. Will NYPD and the Prohibition Commissioner go to find trouble for gentlemen like Louis Baker and John McCall?
The fairy water produced by his Baisuishan company made a legal loophole, which was considered a drug. In addition, Chinatown is simply a lawless place, so as long as you stuff enough money into the notes, no one will care about it.
So, when he formulated the "Yuan Family Rules", he would never have thought of this drama.
The sheriff continued: "Mr. Yuan is also suspected of intentional injury. He must go back with us for investigation."
FDR on the side pondered for a moment and whispered to Yuan Yan: "Mr. Yuan, I think you have to go with them. But please rest assured, I guess the problem is not big. It should be that some people in the Republican Party want to give an explanation to their voters who support the ban on alcohol."
Franklin Roosevelt is worthy of being the top political elite in America and can see through the truth of this matter at a glance.
In fact, these policemen were found by Mr. Charles Evans Hughes. Compared with the frivolous President Harding and the "Ohio Gang", this famous American lawyer has a much more serious attitude towards politics.
His father was a Southern Baptists pastor. Baptists, also known as Baptists, were a major denomination separated from the Puritan independence faction in the seventeenth century. It was named after the baptism method of immersion in the whole body in water.
In 1845, the Baptist Church in the United States split into the Southern Baptist Church and the Northern Baptist Church. The Southern Baptist Church (SBC) was still the largest Christian Protestant denomination in the United States until the 21st century.
This sect is quite conservative. In 2004, because it was dissatisfied with the World Baptist Alliance tolerate homosexuality and establish female pastors, the Southern Baptist Church officially left the World Baptist Alliance. However, what I heard was that Bill Clinton, who was not conservative in his work style, was a registered believer of the Southern Baptist Church.
You should know that one of Mr. Hughes's great achievements in his tenure as governor of New York was the ban on horse racing gambling.
Even horse racing cannot tolerate it, let alone duels.
The Secretary of State originally came to the Fort Myer police to use legal means to stop the duel, but when he heard the duel rules invented by Master Yuan, he changed his mind and asked the police to arrest the two duels on charges of violating the prohibition order after the duel.
For him, this matter is related to the seriousness of American law. Even if it is done in a formal manner, it must be expressed as the attitude of the law enforcement authorities.
But now Lieutenant Colonel Alexander has gotten into the ambulance, so he has to arrest Yuan Yan.
FDR is right, if the Republicans could so easily let Master Yuan offend the blatant violation of the prohibition order, it would really offend their mainstream voters.
There is no big problem... After hearing this statement, Yuan Yan was not very good at all. Since there is no big problem, I will make a big deal.
He suddenly raised his hand and sang: "Everyone, be quiet! Please don't worry, even if I really violate the prohibition order, it's no big deal."
At worst, he would just be fined and jail, and the money would not be too big or too long. Now that the United States has deported him out of the country, he is confident of getting his PhD from New York University... so there is really nothing to worry about.
"Mr. Police Officer, I'll follow you. But..." Our Master Yuan pointed to the emotional audience around him and the eager reporters, "You always have to let me say a few words to you. Otherwise, the audience and reporters here would think I had committed some serious crimes."
The police officers also looked at the surrounding situation. If the cavalry who maintained order were not stopped by them, the reporters would have rushed into the stadium, and perhaps the good audience would have gathered to watch the fun. Then the matter would be very big.
After discussing a few words with the people around him, the police officer nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yuan. You can say a few words to everyone first and go with us."
Yuan Yan was waiting for this sentence. After nodding to the police officers and gentlemen, he put on his coat and walked towards the speakers...
"Listen, the Fort Myer police entered the duel arena just now. They had a little dispute with Mr. Yuan. But we don't know what the content of the dispute is. Wait..."
"Mr. Yuan is going to make a speech. Please note that Mr. Yuan is going to make a speech!"
"Ladies and gentlemen. Let us pray to the gods we believe in, and wish that Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander would not have any other problems in his body except when he wakes up tomorrow and will have a headache. May Amitabha and the Sanqing...well, there is also the Feitian God bless him."
The United States is such a quasi-religious country. You say you are Taoists, Buddhists, Shintoists, White Lotus, Zoroastrians, Flying Pasta... are better than saying that you are atheism.
Master Yuan said this naturally reflects his gentlemanly demeanor and chivalrous spirit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to make a statement, I don't know why you are here. I can only guess that the weather is good today and it's Sunday again, so you all came to Fort Myer for an outing."
"Is this how everyone is?"
President Harding on the viewing platform asked his attorney general: "Harry, what does this Chinese mean?"
