Twins from the 1970s, if you disagree, I'll slap you.

Chapter 14 Wait till I get out, I'll make your whole family pay!

Liu Bin strode over and said to Lu Ye in a low voice, "You told me to go see Director Zhou before, how about it? I came at the perfect time, didn't I? Fatty didn't get the short end of the stick, did he?"

"Hmph, perfect timing." Lu Ye curled the corners of his mouth. "If we had come any later, Yu San would probably have been slapped to death."

When Chen Dachuan saw Director Zhou arrive, he became even more enthusiastic, deliberately raising his voice to stir up trouble: "Your Majesty! You are the sky over our village, whatever you say goes!"

"Even the village chief has to listen to you; you're the most powerful person here!"

"I've already delivered my family's food coupons and work points to you, please don't kill me! Your Majesty, have mercy!"

Yu San was furious!

You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting!

How did I become the Emperor?!

When did I ever take your family's food coupons?!

You're such a great actor!

"You...you...you just now you..."

Yu San was so angry that he trembled all over, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence while pointing at Chen Dachuan.

At this moment, Director Zhou strode over, pointed at Yu San, and angrily said, "Yu San! Look what you've done! In broad daylight, you led a group of people to beat up a civilian, and you even dared to say you wanted to kill him?"

"You say you'll take responsibility, but if someone dies, can you really bear that responsibility?"

"I...I didn't! Chief Zhou, he...he...this kid is making false accusations!"

Yu San hurriedly tried to explain, his face turning pale.

"You still dare to argue?" Director Zhou's eyes were icy cold. "I saw and heard everything when I came over just now!"

"You're the one who led people to beat him up, and even threatened to kill him! I'm not deaf or blind!"

"Director Zhou, that's not how it is! Look at my face..."

Yu San covered his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, trying to prove that he was the one who had been beaten.

"What are you looking at?" Director Zhou glanced at him, his tone mocking. "You really are the village tyrant! In these famine years, you can still eat so well and live a pretty comfortable life! Yu San, you're something else!"

"No! My face is swollen from being slapped by Chen Dachuan..."

"Stop talking! Yu San, let me tell you, the joint defense team is there to cooperate with our village and town authorities and maintain village security, not for you to bully and oppress the people!"

"That's really not true..."

Yu San tried to explain, but was interrupted by Director Zhou.

"Yu San, effective today, your position as captain of the joint defense team is revoked! Furthermore, you will be detained for seven days to reflect on your actions! Take you away!"

At Director Zhou's command, the two staff members behind him immediately stepped forward and restrained Yu San.

As Yu San was being escorted past Chen Dachuan, his eyes turned cold, and he threatened through gritted teeth in a low voice, "When I get out, I'll make your whole family pay!"

Chen Dachuan chuckled, his tone smug: "My whole family is already quite good-looking, so there's no need for 'Your Majesty' to go to such lengths!"

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, staring coldly at Yu San's back.

He sneered inwardly: You still want to come out?

You're dreaming!

Lu Ye clearly remembered that in his previous life, Yu San was later arrested for corruption, and one wall in his house was filled with stolen money.

Although it's still early in the timeline, there's definitely money hidden in that wall; it's just a matter of how much.

This money is either taken from the hard-earned money of ordinary people or from bribes received from people like Wang Xia; it's all filthy money!

Thinking of this, Lu Ye stepped forward and said loudly, "Director Zhou, I want to report this!"

Director Zhou stopped and turned to look at him, asking with a puzzled expression, "Young man, who do you want to report? What do you want to report?"

Lu Ye smiled slightly, pointed at Yu San who was being held captive, and said, "I'm reporting this Emperor Yu. There's a wall in his house that's full of stolen money! Chief Zhou, send someone to investigate, and you'll know everything!"

Upon hearing this, Yu San's face turned deathly pale. He panicked and blurted out, "How did you know?!"

Director Zhou frowned. Judging from Yu San's reaction, he had already made a judgment.

He immediately summoned two staff members and instructed them, "You two, go and thoroughly search Yu San's house, paying particular attention to whether there are any abnormalities in the walls!"

"Don't go there! Don't touch my house!"

Yu San panicked completely and shouted hysterically, "My family has no money! You're trespassing! I'm going to sue you! I'll make you pay!"

The more agitated and resistant he became, the more certain Director Zhou was that what Lu Ye said was true. His face grew increasingly gloomy as he coldly stared at Yu San without uttering a word.

Not long after, the two staff members who went to search returned, carrying two heavy iron boxes.

The moment the box was opened, everyone was stunned.

It was filled with cash of various denominations, as well as stacks of grain coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons, piled up to the brim.

Even if you worked for ten lifetimes, you couldn't earn that much money as the captain of the three-way defense team!

Caught red-handed, Yu San's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

This stolen money is enough to keep him locked up behind bars for the rest of his life, never to come out again!

Director Zhou looked at the box full of stolen money, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He said coldly to Yu San, who was lying on the ground, "Yu San, I thought you were just oppressing the people and abusing your power, but I didn't expect you to have embezzled so much money!"

"Looks like you'll be eating cornbread in there for the rest of your life!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Ye, his tone softening considerably, and said approvingly, "Young man, you have done a good job in reporting this, helping us to expose Yu San, this parasite among the people!"

"I'll send someone to deliver the reward to you later, thank you!"

It wasn't until she saw Director Zhou and the others escorting Yu San away that Wang Xia snapped out of her shock, and the smug look on her face instantly froze.

She muttered to herself, "What? Director Zhou wasn't brought in by Captain Yu? Captain Yu got fired?"

She paused for a few seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Shouting at Director Zhou's retreating figure, he cried out, "Hey! My money! The money in the box is mine! That's what I gave to Yu San! Give me back my money!"

Upon hearing Wang Xia's shout, Yu San immediately reacted and yelled at Chief Zhou, "I want to report this too! It was Wang Xia who gave me the money last night!"

"She paid me to get her son, Zhao Qiang, promoted to deputy captain of the joint defense team! It was her!"

Wang Xia froze instantly, her face turning deathly pale. She quickly waved her hands in denial: "Don't talk nonsense! That's not true! My son... my son got the vice-captain position through his own exam!"

Director Zhou paused, turned to look at her, his eyes icy: "You got in through an exam? The deputy captain of the joint defense team has never had an 'exam'; they are all ordinary villagers who assist us in our work."

"I remember the previous deputy captain was Liu Bin, when did it become your son Zhao Qiang?"

"Also, you just said that some of the money in the box was yours. What does that mean? Did you give money to Yu San?"

Wang Xia was speechless when asked the question, stammering and unable to utter a single word, her face turning pale and then flushed.

Upon seeing this, Yu San shouted even louder, "It was Wang Xia who gave me the money! Last night she gave me over a hundred yuan, along with grain coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons. Later she added another two hundred yuan, asking me to promote her son to deputy team leader!"

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, wishing he could rush up and tear Wang Xia apart: "Password! I'm ruined today because of you, you jinx!"

"If you hadn't insisted that I stand up for you and cause trouble for Chen Dachuan, I wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state! I have to drag you down with me!"
