Xinshige would like to say that he has never drunk wine, but it is obviously impossible. Wine is always a necessity, whether it is for entertainment or to relax.


    He has drunk not only wine, but also good wine and strong wine.


    Under the gaze of eleven pairs of eyes, he nodded awkwardly.


    "There''s nothing to be embarrassed about, Mr. xinshige." Dooling took the initiative to solve the siege for him. "It''s well known that wine and water are indispensable in people''s daily life, so we don''t have to be embarrassed or embarrassed about these things. I noticed one thing. The alcohol ban bill originally came from the church."


    "I checked some information. It is said that the church banned alcohol at the beginning because alcohol could make people lose emotional control and self-control, so the pope at that time thought that wine came from the devil''s drink. After drinking too much of this drink, the devil''s power in the body would accumulate. Finally, the devil would come, attach to these people who drank too much and manipulate their bodies Do something that doesn''t come from their intention. "


    "Look, gentlemen, I don''t want to question whether some things in the theocracy law are correct and have evidence, but is it too taken for granted to completely move some laws and regulations from the theocracy law?", Turin smiled and said: "after all, we don''t have Peter III!"


    When he mentioned Peter III, including four residents of the imperial capital, all laughed. This is a very famous story, a story used to laugh at the church. In the early struggle between imperial power and theocracy, it was found out by the imperial power faction, and then spread out as a sharp weapon against the majesty of theocracy. Some things can be indelible from generation to generation even without deliberate dissemination and inheritance. This kind of thing is called "classics".


    Peter III was a young Pope in the period of political [jia0] unity. He was ousted after only seven years in office. It is said that when he was born, nine comets crossed the sky. He didn''t speak before he was six years old, but on the first day after he was six years old, he said an earth shaking word. He shouted the name of the holy Pope in ancient times - Rossi.


    Since then, he was trained as the next generation of Pope until he ascended the throne and became the Supreme Master of the whole western world. If the naughty fate lady didn''t joke with him, maybe his statue would still stand in the cathedral in sunrise. Unfortunately, Ms. destiny doesn''t like him.


    After a grand ceremony, people need Peter III who met Rossi to say a few words for everyone. Yes, it''s such a legend that many people believe that Peter III has seen the holy Pope himself. People looked for Peter III everywhere and finally found this guy in the temple. At that time, he was only wearing a church robe and pressed his bare ass on a maid.


    It was a disgrace to the whole church. It was also found that if Peter III was not burned, the majesty of the church would drop to the freezing point.


    At this very critical time, a cardinal stood up and "saved" Peter III. he said that Peter III was possessed by the devil, so he did such an animal thing. He was not blaspheming the saints, but tempted to fall by the devil.


    Peter III, who knew he had escaped death, suddenly became more crazy and stupid. He also peed in public. People subdued him and tied him up. After a day, he woke up. People asked him why he did such a thing. He told everyone that he just drank a lot of wine. In the end, he inexplicably lost his control over himself. Another will was controlling his body and did something sacrilegious.


    Then the cardinal who saved him asked people to "barbecue" him on the fire. It was not barbecue, but barbecue. He said that there was still a devil''s smell in his body. Next time, the devil would still follow this smell to find him again and control him. Only the sacred flame could clear the smell, so he was put a little higher above the fire, that is, the proportion of people making bacon, and roasted for more than ten minutes.


    His body hair and skin were smoked and cracked, and black smoke rose from him. He didn''t even have the strength to shout and was dying.


    At this time, the cardinal, that is, the next Pope Ryan I, told everyone that the black smoke was the smell of demons. Peter III had been saved. People put Peter III down. Every part of his skin contracted and cracked, revealing the pink and white muscles inside.


    In this way, Peter III survived and became the first "faceless" in the church. As for his future, that''s another story.


    After that, the church issued a prohibition order, believing that wine is the drink of demons. No one is allowed to make wine, transport and sell it without permission. Once caught by the church, it will be labeled as a demon waiter and purified in the fire.


    This is the origin of the church prohibition, but in fact, the reason why the prohibition was announced in the early days of the Empire was not that they had or did not have Peter III, but that the comprehensive war had just ended, all places were affected by the war, and many farmers and crops were burned by fire, so the whole empire was seriously short of food. In such an environment, the Empire issued the first prohibition of alcohol, which was to stop making wine with food that could save people''s lives and make fun for a few people.


    As people say, sometimes the truth is not what you want. Compared with the interesting story of Peter III, how can you believe that the great Yaoxing empire can starve to death? How can you say?


    Therefore, driven by the prime minister at that time, the prohibition order issued by the Empire took the name of the church, and the Empire was thriving and lived and worked in peace and contentment.


    At this time, Turin mentioned Peter III. xinshige was finally not so embarrassed, but he still asked, "Mr. Turin, you haven''t answered my question!"


    Durin smiled and continued, "if we locate a necessity in life as a prohibited product, we will never be able to completely isolate this kind of thing from people''s life. It''s like we need to breathe air. Does it make sense to locate air as a prohibited product?"


    "Whether the Empire issues the second prohibition, the third prohibition or even more stringent prohibition, I dare say it can''t stop the circulation and sale of wine, because people need it."


    "Excessive suppression of people''s nature can only play the opposite role. Even in the imperial capital, there are many bars and outlets that illegally sell high alcohol. This is the trend."


    "The trend is unstoppable. I can not be the umbrella of smugglers, so that they can not pay a large amount of taxes. Without tens of millions of taxes this year, the Empire will not deteriorate, but it will not be much better. People will still buy when they should buy, and they are smuggling all the time when they should smuggle, so what do we get What have you lost? "


    "We got the law as if it were a sham, lost a huge income, and we indulged a group of criminals in their wanton activities around us, resulting in great security risks."


    "Gentlemen, for Mr. xinshige''s saying that I am a" crime manager ", I hope I can do the best in public security and minimize the crime rate within a limited space and under management and control, and then allow them to make some money. If we make some money, people can get the life they want and need Materials, that''s my explanation. "


    In the constant dialogue, Dooling made the hearing less serious than expected with a variety of interesting views, serious or humorous ways. He needs to thank Kevin for his efforts. Without him to help him sort out the materials and write these defense contents for himself, the atmosphere might not be so harmonious.


    As time went by, the last question was handed over to four citizens of the imperial capital, who sent a young man to ask relevant questions.


    The young man was very polite. He first asked good and introduced himself, and then asked a sharp question.


    "Mr. durin, your reply is very wonderful. I find I like officials like you a little. You are different from those who only talk and do nothing. I have a small question here. I hope you can answer it for me."


    Durin nodded and said, "please."


    The young man smiled again. "I found that you have always linked the core issue of this hearing to the economy. Do you think it is acceptable as long as you can create sufficient economic benefits, even if the behavior violates the law?"


    This question is not easy to answer, because his answer is that it will have a terrible impact on his image and evaluation, because it violates universal values and morality. But if he answers no, most of his previous replies will be rejected by himself.


    Turin looked at the young man, and the young man looked at him with a smile. He didn''t seem to feel that he had asked a very difficult question.


    Fortunately, Dooling had the information of another world as his inside information. He thought for a moment, sorted out his ideas, and asked a question, a shameless and invincible question, "If a man tries to make a terrorist attack to destroy the station of the imperial capital, but he hasn''t implemented it yet. Killing those who haven''t committed a crime now can save thousands of lives, but he is still innocent. If it''s you, do you choose to kill him now to save thousands of people, or wait until he kills those people?"


    The smile on the young man''s face suddenly solidified. Before he could answer, Turin gave his own answer.
