I really don't want to be so crap!

Although Xu Rupeng knew very well that there were accomplices who felled ancient trees in his village, he couldn't say it directly. The four of them finally discussed and gathered the whole village after lunch to ask about the situation and see if anyone had seen anything.

After the meal, the old secretary impatiently notified all the villagers on the loudspeaker to gather at the head of the village.

When the four of Xu Rupeng arrived, a large group of people had already gathered. Xu Dashan, who arrived early, saw the policemen on both sides of Xu Rupeng, his hair stood up in fright, and he rushed to Xu Rupeng with an ugly face, his legs trembling, "You bastard, what did you do wrong, comrade policeman, my son is a good boy, what mistake did he make?"

Tang Jiahe quickly stretched out his hands, "Uncle, don't get excited, brother Xu didn't do anything wrong, don't worry, we are all his friends."

Xu Dashan's legs softened, Xu Rupeng immediately supported Xu Dashan, "Dad, what are you doing, do I look like someone who did something bad? I look so good all day long, you keep worrying about it!"

The two Tang and Chen next to each other were crazily complaining in their hearts at this time, "Fuck, why do you have the face to say that you are good? You don't know what you did two days ago?"How about being a person?Shameless.

Xu Dashan held Xu Rupeng's arm tightly, "It's fine for a few days, as long as it's fine."

Not long after, all the men, women and children in the village came to work together, and the old village party secretary and two police officers, Tang and Chen, stood at the forefront.

The old branch secretary said: "Folks, I think everyone should know what is going on. These two are policemen from our county, who are responsible for the illegal logging of the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Next, Officer Tang will give us a report. Say it."

"Hello folks, I am Tang Jiahe, a policeman from the County Public Security Bureau. After our preliminary investigation, we found that the ancient pagoda tree in our village is 300 years old. This is a national second-class ancient tree and should be protected by the state. But what? , Now this precious ancient locust tree has been felled by criminals, we must bring these criminals to justice as soon as possible, folks who found anything last night, you can come up and make a record now."

The village names below immediately exploded, "My God, this tree is 300 years old, it's amazing, it's amazing", "Damn it, this is the spirit tree of our village", "This group of logging people should be killed They were all shot," all kinds of discussions were clamoring.

Xu Rupeng walked around the villagers before he realized that Zhao Si was at the end of the crowd.

In his previous life, Zhao Si was sentenced to three years in prison because he was an accomplice in cutting down ancient locust trees, leaving two children under four years old and a silly daughter-in-law to be taken care of by his elderly parents.

Xu Rupeng patted Zhao Si, "Fourth brother, what are you doing behind the cat, come on, smoke a cigarette, we two brothers will have a chat."

Zhao Si showed a particularly awkward expression, half crying and half smiling, and took Xu Rupeng's cigarette, "Little Xu Zi, when did you come back?"

Xu Rupeng put his arms around Zhao Si's shoulders, pointed to the corner behind the wall, "Come on, fourth brother, let's go there and have a chat."

Zhao Si was a little puzzled. Did Xu Rupeng know what he could talk to him about?Impossible, my group is an ancient locust tree that I secretly sawed in the middle of the night, and there were three of them just on guard, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to see it.

When the two walked to the corner, Xu Rupeng stared at Zhao Si and said directly: "Fourth brother, tell me, who of you participated in the harvesting of the ancient locust tree last night, and who ordered you to do it, and how much did you give each of you?" money."

Xu Rupeng's series of questions made Zhao Si stiff and sweaty, "Xiao, Xiao Xu, Xiao Xuzi, you... you... what are you talking about? I don't understand it. You cut down trees and gave money."

"Fourth brother, don't quibble, I know everything, not only you, but also Ren Jun from the next village, Chang Mao from Xiaohou Village, etc.", I'm not wrong.

The names of Ren Jun and Chang Mao instantly broke Zhao Si's luck.

With a "plop", Zhao Sipan sat on the ground, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face, "Xiao Xu, please, don't tell the police if it's okay, brother please, you know there are two children in my brother's family, Your sister-in-law is lame again, if I am imprisoned, then this family will be over."

Seeing Zhao Si's pitiful appearance, Xu Rupeng couldn't bear it, but if he didn't turn himself in now, then Zhao Si would be sentenced to three years in prison.

Xu Rupeng said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, do you think you will be able to escape in the end? Even if such a big ancient tree is cut into several sections by you, is it really that easy to hide? Do you think the police are all vegetarians? Yesterday From midnight to noon today, where can you pull the tree in such a short time?"

Zhao Si looked at Xu Rupeng with tears in his eyes, "Also... Maybe the police can't find it, even if they find it, they can't find me. Xiao Xu, you can let the fourth brother go, okay?"

Xu Rupeng squatted down, "Fourth brother, brothers are all for your own good. Firstly, if the police check carefully for such a big thing, it is impossible not to find it. Secondly, if they find the main logging thief, they will definitely confess you. , After all, confessing to you can reduce their sentence, think about it for yourself, you still have a wife and children, if you go in and stay for a few years, what will your wife and children do, are you counting on Uncle Zhao's two-acre orchard?"

Zhao Si sat on the ground silently, Xu Rupeng sighed, "Fourth brother, think about it carefully, for your wife and children, how do you choose, you think about it yourself, I'll go first, I hope you don't get confused."

Zhao Si was still sitting on the ground numbly, struggling violently in his heart.

Xu Rupeng walked to the side of the crowd, quietly waiting for Zhao Si's decision.

"Xu Mutou, why did you find my brother-in-law just now?" Wan Ling'er's voice rang.

It was only then that Xu Rupeng realized that Wan Ling'er had come to him at some point, and he was a little entangled. Xu Rupeng decided to tell the truth, "I found out that the fourth brother looked wrong, so I cheated on him. I didn't expect him to be involved in this matter." .”

Wan Ling'er turned pale instantly, with tears in her eyes, "Xu, Xu Mutou, what should I do then, please, save him, okay? Aren't those two policemen your friends? Tell me, let him go, okay?" it is good."

Xu Rupeng said seriously: "Ling'er, the fourth brother broke the law, he must accept the punishment, so I just persuaded him to turn himself in and try to get a lenient sentence. He will be sentenced to a few months. If he is stubborn, it will take at least a few years. Do you understand?"

Wan Ling'er covered her mouth, tears fell down her pale cheeks, "I'll go persuade him", Xu Rupeng stopped him and said, "No, let him think for himself first, a man needs to have the courage to do something wrong Bear the consequences."

At this moment, Xu Rupeng noticed that Zhao Si who was sitting in the corner stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and then strode towards the front of the crowd with meteoric strides.

Zhao Si also completely gave up his chances, knelt down on the ground with a "plop" facing all the village names, and shouted loudly: "All the young and old in the village, I, Zhao Si, made a mistake. I participated in the harvesting of ancient locust trees." , Then wept loudly.

Old Zhao saw his son kneeling in front of everyone to apologize, his dark face turned black and purple with anger, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground, stepped forward and hit Zhao Si fiercely, "You little bastard, I beat you to death , let you harm, let you harm."

Tang Jiahe and Chen Wei hurried forward to grab Lao Zhao, "Zhao Si will be punished by law for his mistakes, don't get excited."

Lao Zhao burst into tears and begged: "Comrade policeman, my son is not sensible and made a mistake. For the sake of his surrender, I beg you to give me a lighter punishment. I beg you."

"Master, we will definitely consider it as appropriate, don't worry." Tang Jiahe also feels relaxed now. If someone surrenders himself, then the case will be much easier.

Xu Rupeng also came over at this time, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, the fourth brother is surrendering himself, if he can take the crime and make meritorious service, then the punishment will not be heavy, you have to trust the government."

The people in the village talked a lot, and the old people hated him for not fighting, beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Tang Jiahe and Chen Wei took Zhao Si away, and the progress of things must be much faster than in the previous life.

In front of Wan Ling'er, Xu Rupeng also called Li Yue and asked him to say hello to Director Wei. He would visit Director Wei himself in two days.

Li Yue agreed with all his heart, one word, it's human, and he would be a fool if he didn't do it.
