under the foggy mountain

Chapter 117
For two consecutive days, Liu Ronghui talked with Yuan Wuhua at home during the day to learn about the situation, or went to Huangqiao Market Town to drink tea, eat, and rest at places such as Yixing Tea House, Lequn Building, and Ruyi Inn; Wandering around the bay and returning home twelve minutes later, Yuan Wuhua drove Liu Ronghui to Huangqiao Ruyi Inn for accommodation.

On Lunar New Year's Day, Liu Ronghui led Yuan Wuhua to the Huangqiao Police Station, where Liu Ronghui's die-hard brother Xiao Yilong worked as the deputy director of the Huangqiao Police Station.Yuan Wuhua knew Deputy Director Xiao, and he didn't have much contact with him.Xiao Yilong was very happy to see Liu Ronghui, and the two chatted for a while after entering the police station.When it was lunch time, Yuan Wuhua invited Liu Ronghui and Xiao Yilong to dinner at the Lequn Building. During the dinner, they drank some wine and the atmosphere was very harmonious.After drinking, director Xiao told Yuan Wuhua not to play cards during the Spring Festival, and the police station will use Zhangshuwan and Jiangwan as key areas to carry out gambling bans.

After dinner, Liu Ronghui went back to the county seat.Before leaving, Liu Ronghui told Yuan Wuhua that he had a way to deal with the matter, but after the matter was completed, he would charge [-] to [-] yuan for legal services, and asked Yuan Wuhua to discuss it with his family after returning home, and send him a text message to tell him the result.

After Yuan Wuhua returned home, he told Yuan Guishan and Tang Qinglian that Liu Ronghui wanted to charge legal service fees.At the beginning, everyone felt that the amount was relatively large, and Yuan Guishan complained that Liu Ronghui didn't talk about family affection and only had money in his eyes.After discussion, everyone believed that if the conflict in the paper mill was not resolved as soon as possible, the tangible and intangible losses would be huge, so they agreed to accept Liu Ronghui's quotation, but only made a request to ensure that the paper mill would start work as scheduled on the eighth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year. .Yuan Wuhua sent a text message to Liu Ronghui about the result.

Yuan Wuhua asked Yuan Guishan to inform the owner of the paper mill and the people in Zhangshuwan and Jiangwan that the police station would come to catch gambling in the past few days, and he also said that Director Xiao of the police station had said it.Yuan Guishan was skeptical, but still asked some village cadres to send a letter asking everyone not to play cards and gamble.

Yuan Wuhua knew that Pan Jianbing liked to play cards, so he drove to Jiangwan after dinner.Pan Jianbing's son who was studying in college came back, and the family of three was having dinner.When Yu Shuiying saw Yuan Wuhua coming, she quickly got up and moved a chair, made a cup of tea, and Yuan Wuhua took it.

Pan Jianbing asked, "Wuhua, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Jian, I came here for a special purpose." Yuan Wuhua said, "I went to the police station today, and a police officer I knew told me that Zhangshuwan and Jiangwan will be regarded as a key area in their station every year. Grab the bet."

Pan Jianbing asked nervously, "Really?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "It's true. Fourth Uncle Jian, it's best not to play cards during the Chinese New Year."

Yu Shuiying said happily: "That's it. Your Fourth Uncle Jian is good at everything, but he likes to play cards. He often comes back at one or two o'clock at night, so I can't sleep well!"

Pan Jianbing smiled and said, "I'm pretty good, and I'm not addicted yet. Some paper factory owners and salesmen feel uncomfortable if they don't play cards for a day. Now they will suffer."

Yuan Wuhua asked with a smile: "Uncle Jian, who do you usually fight with?"

Pan Jianbing said: "There are not as many people in Jiangwan who like to play cards as you in Zhangshuwan. I usually play more with Peng Jianwu and Zuo Dongxing. Oh, Wuhua, Zuo Dongxing also has a serious addiction to playing cards. He sometimes likes to play cards." Fight those paper mill owners."

Yuan Wuhua looked at Pan Jianbing and said, "Uncle Jian, I don't like Zuo Dongxing and Peng Jianwu. But they are employees of our paper factory, so you tell them, don't play cards and gamble."

Pan Jianbing said, "I'll go tell them later."

The next morning, Zhangshuwan and Jiangwan seemed to have exploded. Everyone was talking about the police station's arrest operation in Zhangshuwan Jiangwan last night.Last night, the police station caught three tables of cards in Zhangshuwan, one of which was the owner of a paper mill and a salesperson. I heard that more than 2 yuan of gambling money was seized at the scene. The card players Zou Xingguo, Wang Youliang, Peng Zhiping, and Li Xinfei were also brought to the police station. I went to the police station.The other two tables are some old customers from Zhangshuwan, including Zuo Dongxing and Peng Jianwu.They were not taken away on the spot because they only had more than 2000 yuan to gamble on the spot. The police station asked them to go to accept the punishment after breakfast.

After Yuan Wuhua heard the news, he thought that Pan Jianbing hadn't told Zuo Dongxing and Peng Jianwu, so he went to Pan Jianbing's house.When Yu Shuiying saw Yuan Wuhua, she thanked Yuan Wuhua repeatedly, saying that Pan Jianbing was going to play cards with Zuo Dongxing last night, but did not play after hearing Yuan Wuhua's message.Pan Jianbing smiled and said that he went to Zhangshuwan and told Zuo Dongxing and Peng Jianwu the news that the police station would come to arrest gambling, and they were arrested because they didn't believe it.

After hearing this, Yuan Wuhua felt relieved and went home.As soon as he sat down, Yuan Guishan came in and asked Yuan Wuhua to take him to the police station.

Yuan Wuhua asked: "Master, what are you doing at the police station?"

Yuan Guishan stared, and said, "So many people have been called to the police station, why don't we take them out and let them celebrate the New Year inside?"

After Yuan Guishan arrived at the police station, he approached the director and made a self-criticism, saying that he and other village officials had not fulfilled their responsibilities to educate and guide the villagers.After hard work, the leaders of the police station agreed to give lenient treatment according to law, but asked Wushan Village to strengthen the education and management of villagers, so that similar gambling phenomena should not happen again.Yuan Guishan nodded in agreement.

At noon, when Yuan Guishan and Yuan Wuhua returned home, Liu Meihui had already prepared the meals, and the family began to eat lunch.

At this time, Hu Chuntao, Zuo Dongxing's hall guest, came.

As soon as Hu Chuntao entered the door, she smiled and said, "Secretary Yuan, Aunt Gui, Wuhua, hehe...Qinglian, I'm making a fuss for you to eat! Please go to the police station to intercede for Dongxing."

Liu Meihui got up quickly, smiled and beckoned Hu Chuntao to sit down, ready to make tea, but Hu Chuntao stopped her.

Yuan Guishan smiled and said, "Chuntao, last time Dongxing wrote a letter of guarantee at the police station and stopped playing cards. This time he called someone to play cards at your house..."

Hu Chuntao interrupted Yuan Guishan, and said with a smile: "Yes! Just now Brother Dongming came back and said that if you hadn't come forward, Dongxing would really have spent the New Year in the detention center this time! And you also helped him to say goodbye I paid a fine, thank you very much!"

Yuan Guishan said: "Chuntao, yesterday I asked the village cadres to send a message, and then Wuhua told Jiansi again, and Jiansi came to your house specially to ask you not to play cards, why didn't Dongxing believe it?"

Hu Chuntao also complained: "Exactly! Jiansi repeatedly asked him not to fight, but he just didn't believe it, and said that Jiansi was bluffing. Thank you very much, Secretary Yuan!"

"Chuntao, neighbors, don't be polite." Yuan Guishan waved his hand and said, looking at Hu Chuntao, "Is Dongxing back?"

"No! Secretary Yuan. The police station said that if the fine is not paid at three o'clock in the afternoon, they will send Dongxing to the county detention center!"

"Hurry up and hand it in! Chuntao, why are you still coming to me to thank me for what I have done!"

"Oh, Secretary Yuan, it's not like you don't know that Dongxing likes to play cards, and all the money is spent on playing cards! I came here to... I want to ask Qinglian to pay Dongxing a month's wages in advance to pay the fine, Qinglian Boss Lian, do you think it's okay?"

Before Tang Qinglian could react, Yuan Wuhua yelled: "Aunt Dongxing, Uncle Dongxing still beat me up last time! Let him speak for himself!"

Hu Chuntao said with apology on his face, "Wuhua, your Uncle Dongxing has such a bad temper. I told him the same thing after he came back last time, so I won't do it next time!"

"Wuhua, one matter is one matter, don't talk about it together." Seeing Yuan Wuhua wanted to talk, Yuan Guishan stopped him, looked at Tang Qinglian, and said, "Qinglian, this matter really cannot be delayed, you just pay a month's salary Give it to Hu Chuntao!"

Tang Qinglian smiled and said, "Okay, since you have sent a message, let's pay Uncle Dong Xing a month's salary in advance! Aunt Dong Xing, I will go to withdraw the money after I eat, okay?"

After Hu Chuntao took the money, she went to the police station to pay the fine.After Zuo Dongxing came out, he asked where he borrowed the money, and Hu Chuntao told him.After hearing this, Zuo Dongxing had a look of uneasiness on his face, which disappeared after only a moment.

Hu Chuntao looked at Zuo Dongxing, and whispered, "Stop meddling in the affairs between their shareholders!"

Zuo Dongxing looked at Hu Chuntao and said, "Hey, when is your turn to speak! You will stink if you keep your mouth shut! Dongming is my dear brother, you know it! Qianjin Paper Mill is owned by several of their shareholders! It's not Tang Qinglian's!"

Hu Chuntao muttered: "Why are you so vicious! Didn't you say that your wages have increased by more than half compared to before? You can just take care of yourself. Why do you care so much!"

After hearing this, Zuo Dongxing felt irritable. He raised his hand and shouted, "Hu Chuntao, if you say it again, be careful that I will slap you in the mouth! Go, go home!"

After hearing this, Hu Chuntao immediately shut up and followed Zuo Dongxing to Zhangshuwan.
