Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

At this moment, Liu Haizhong's mind went blank. Wasn't this a normal transaction? Why were the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau here? And were they related to Xu Damao?

"Li Huaide, explain yourself! What does this have to do with Xu Damao? Aren't your paperwork all in order? Why are the Industry and Commerce Bureau officials here? Comrade, I'm innocent!"

"Injustice? Take your words back with you. Take them all with you!"

With a command given, everyone, including the television and the vehicle, was seized. As You Fengxia watched the departing crowd and heard Li Huaide's last words, she thought of Xu Damao's old face and wished she could kick that guy to death!

"No, I have to go back to Yuezhou right now!"

You Fengxia muttered something, turned and left. There was still a safe at Li Huaide's residence in Yuezhou. If she could get that batch of cash, she could make up for some of the losses. Damn it, God is blind!
trial room

"Name!"

"Li Huaide!"

"age!"

"50!"

"Li Huaide, former director of the committee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, was later dismissed from his post for violating discipline. Am I correct?"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Li Huaide, you have fabricated false materials and are operating a private television station. Is this acknowledgment?"

"I admit it, I admit it!"

"Very good, sign and put your fingerprint on it!"

"Boss, I have to report that the first batch of trading partners was Xu Damao, a projectionist at the Red Star Cinema. He lives at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang!"

Li Huaide knew the principle of leniency for confession and severity for resistance, so he had a good attitude in admitting his guilt. The rest could only be handled by his father-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although his father-in-law had retired, he still had connections.

However, he couldn't let Xu Damao, who had caused his downfall, get away with it. With his father-in-law's help, he could get out soon, but Xu Damao was different. Once he went in, he couldn't get out, as Li Huaide had said!
"After investigation and verification of the documents, there is no one named Xu Damao in your transactions. However, the first batch of traders was Wu Yong. You must know that, right?"

Before the interrogation, the staff had reviewed the relevant documents and evidence, and found that Wu Yong was the only person involved in the first batch of television transactions!
“Comrade, Wu Yong is Xu Damao’s cousin, and the real mastermind behind it all is Xu Damao himself. There is no mistake about that. I have deeply realized my mistake and I confess to the organization!”

Li Huaide wanted to report Xu Damao to gain merit and reduce his punishment. With his father-in-law's help, he could be released soon!

"Understood, we will investigate!"

"Name!"

"In bangs!"

"Liu Haizhong, 66 years old, lives at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, a seventh-level worker in a steel rolling mill, captain of the workers' disciplinary team, and spent five years in a labor camp, right?"

"Yes!" "Comrade Liu Haizhong, before the transaction, did you know that this batch of televisions was smuggled?"

"Report: I didn't know. When Li Huaide contacted me to conduct the transaction, all the paperwork and documents were complete, and they even had the official seals of the relevant departments. This can't be faked!"

"Didn't you ever think about verifying it?"

"Report: I'm just an ordinary citizen. I believed it because I saw such a big official seal. I never thought about it and had no way to verify it!"

"Yes, the television you were involved in the transaction is a smuggled item. According to regulations, we will confiscate the television and the funds involved. Sign here!"

In the first batch of television transactions, Li Huaide only had Wu Yong's contract, while the transaction contracts of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were in Xu Damao's hands. Therefore, the Industry and Commerce Bureau was unaware that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had participated in the transactions.
In other words, the first batch of televisions was received by Xu Damao from Li Huaide, while Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui received the goods from Xu Damao.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui did not participate in the first batch of transactions with Li Huaide. Unless Wu Yong is arrested, the two are still safe!
"What? Confiscated?"

Liu Haizhong felt dizzy. Almost all the money he had earned over the years was here. He had even used the little money he had left to buy an apartment. Now, his 200,000 yuan had been confiscated by the Industry and Commerce Bureau. What was the point of him now? He had gone from being a millionaire to a penniless pauper.
"That's right. According to the *** regulations, both the television and the transaction funds will be confiscated. Although you were unaware of the transaction, you did participate in it. Therefore, you will be subject to a one-month detention. Sign here!"

"Comrade, ignorance is no excuse. We didn't know the documents were fake, I..."

"A violation is a violation. If you hadn't shouted those things on the spot, do you think this matter would have been so easily resolved? Sign it!"

After investigation, Liu Haizhong and the others confirmed that they did not know that the television was a smuggled item. Furthermore, the transaction was not completed. Therefore, under existing laws, they cannot be convicted.
However, a transaction is a transaction. This time, there was an insider who reported it. Even if there wasn't, wouldn't these people have profited? Therefore, they still need to be punished!

"Okay, okay!"

Subsequently, Liu Guangtian and his brother, along with Yan Jiecheng and his sister, were all given the same punishment!
Courtyard house

Early the next morning, Yan Bugui waited at the door for the group to return, hoping to offer advice on how to sell the television as soon as possible.

"Excuse me, do Yan Bugui and Liu Qianshi live in this compound?"

Before his own son returned, the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau arrived. Yan Bugui looked at the two men in work clothes, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. Something bad had happened.
"Yes, yes, I am Yan Bugui. Ruihua, go and call Old Liu's family!"

Yang Ruihua didn't dare to utter a sound and turned to go to the backyard. They were preparing to move out of the courtyard house. They thought they could leave safely and smoothly, but now it seemed that something might have happened!

"Yan Bugui, Liu Qianshi, Liu Haizhong, and six others were involved in smuggling. The evidence is conclusive. They are sentenced to one month of detention and their transaction funds are confiscated. Sign here!"

"what?"

When Yan Bugui heard the words "confiscate the transaction funds," he swayed. He had given 50,000 yuan, and his children had scraped together 50,000 yuan by selling everything they owned. They thought they would rise to great heights, but now it was all gone. What should he do?

As for the month of detention, it doesn't matter, a month will pass quickly. But, 100,000 yuan is gone. How long will it take to earn it back? Thinking of this, Yan Bugui's heart ached and he sobbed. Damn it, it came true.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have participated. My premonition was bad to begin with, but it just so happened. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!

As for Liu Qianshi, her eyes rolled back, she felt dizzy and fainted unsurprisingly. Not only Yang Ruihua, but even the two comrades from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were dumbfounded, realizing that something bad was about to happen.
They immediately scrambled to carry the person out the door and hailed a tricycle to take them to the hospital. Human life is of paramount importance; if they had died, their punishment would have been lenient!

When He Yuzhu returned and heard the news, he was stunned. Xu Damao, Xu Damao, is so vindictive. It seems he needs to make some preparations.
Since we're going to use Xu Damao, we can't restrict him, but we still need to take precautions; this guy has a backlash attribute! (End of Chapter)
