My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder murmur of discussion.

In the countryside in the late 1970s, it was a huge disaster for the police to come and arrest people. Anyone who got involved was considered to have their family destroyed in the eyes of the villagers.

Anyone who is handcuffed by the police must have committed an unforgivable serious crime.

"Arrest him! Arrest him!" Lin Xiumei screamed, her finger almost poking Lu Qingshan's nose.

"Behave yourself and come with us to the station for questioning!"

Two police officers gripped Lu Qingshan's arms like iron clamps.

The moment their hands touched, the two police officers exchanged a barely perceptible glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Even through the coarse cloth clothing, the touch from under my palm was as hard as cast iron, the frame was solid, and the muscles were taut with explosive power.

An expert's skill is immediately apparent; this is a physique that an ordinary farmer could never possess.

The two men secretly praised him for his "good physique," but this also made them more vigilant, and they increased the force in their hands.

"Behave yourself and come with us!"

"Shanzi!"

Wang Guifen's vision went black, and her legs went weak.

"Qingshan!" Lu Changgui panicked and was about to rush forward.

"What are you doing! Trying to assault a police officer?" the lead police officer shouted sternly.

Old Master Lu gripped Lu Changgui's arm tightly with his thin but strong hand, his back straight, and said in a deep voice, "Let Qingshan go with us. If we're upright, we have nothing to fear. We haven't done anything wrong, so we're not afraid of being questioned."

When the villagers saw that Lu Qingshan was indeed being taken into custody by the police, they began to whisper among themselves.

"I originally thought he had changed his ways and settled down to live a peaceful life, but I never expected him to cause such a big disaster."

"The Lu family is completely finished now. All those 'three turns and one radio' items that we brought back a few days ago might all be confiscated."

"Poor Xiulan, she was about to get engaged, and now she's likely to be implicated..."

The villagers' chatter, Lin Xiumei's triumphant shouts, and her family's panic mingled together.

Zhao Laosan, hiding behind the big locust tree, stood on tiptoe, peering out while whispering boasts to the idle men in the village.

"See? I reported him, so he won't give me any meat! He'll get what's coming to him!"

The idler looked on with admiration: "Third Brother, you're really capable! Lu Qingshan is going to be in big trouble now."

"Peeling skin? Humph!" Zhao Laosan spat.

"Speculation and profiteering is a serious crime! Just wait and see, Lu Qingshan will spend the rest of his life in jail, let's see what he'll have left to be so arrogant about..."

The scene that everyone had expected—Lu Qingshan begging for mercy—did not occur.

Lu Qingshan first looked at his pale-faced parents in a reassuring manner, then his gaze fell on the old man.

"Father, Mother, Grandfather, don't panic."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was steady and powerful, inexplicably calming the Lu family of three. "I'll go with the police officers to explain the whole story, and I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he took the initiative to walk towards the jeep parked at the entrance of the village, cooperating with the police.

This composure stunned everyone who was watching the spectacle.

Lin Xiumei cursed viciously, "You're pretending to be innocent even when you're about to die! You'll be crying when you're in jail!"

Then he pulled Lin Yaozu along, saying, "Let's go home and tell our eldest sister the good news!"

Old Master Lu held his son and daughter-in-law down tightly and said, word by word.

"Let him go. We haven't broken the law, so we're not afraid!"

The jeep kicked up a cloud of dust and disappeared on the dirt road at the end of the village.

A crowd still lingered outside the Lu family compound, but this time, everyone's gaze had changed.

Schadenfreude, pity, doubt...

Wang Guifen collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

……

County Public Security Bureau, interrogation room.

A dim light bulb hung overhead, and the room contained only a table and two chairs.

The young police officer in charge of the interrogation was named Wang Jianguo. He slammed his notebook heavily on the table.

"Name, age, home address!"

"Lu Qingshan, twenty years old, from Hongshitun."

Wang Jianguo looked up and sized up Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan remained neither humble nor arrogant, his expression calm and composed.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Wang Jianguo slammed his hand on the table.

"Lu Qingshan, tell the truth! You only hunted one wild boar in the mountains yesterday, but today you've traded it for a truckload of 'three turns and one sound' (referring to cigarettes, watches, and radios). Where did you get this money and these receipts?"

"Speak! Were you involved in black market transactions in the city? Who were you dealing with? Who did you sell those pork to?"

Wang Jianguo bombarded him with questions like a machine gun, slamming his hands on the table with loud thuds.

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely! We've seen plenty of cases like yours! If you explain yourself now, you might get a lenient sentence!"

Lu Qingshan let him finish speaking, then slowly raised his hand and took out a few sheets of paper from his shirt pocket.

Lay them out one by one.

The first one is a handwritten receipt.

"We have received a wild boar from Comrade Lu Qingshan of Hongshitun, weighing 345 jin (approximately 122.5 kg). The price is 1.4 yuan, totaling 483 yuan. To encourage Comrade Lu Qingshan's assistance to Hongxing Machinery Factory, we are awarding him industrial coupons..."

Below is a bright red seal.

—The Logistics Department of the State-owned Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Wang Jianguo's eyes widened immediately.

A state-owned factory's seal... this thing can't be faked.

Before he could react, Lu Qingshan pushed the second sheet of paper towards him.

It was a certificate issued by the village committee, stating that Lu Qingshan was the grandson of the old hunter of the Lu family, and that he was granted permission to enter the mountains with a gun to prevent wild boars from damaging crops.

Below, also stamped with the official seal of the Hongshitun Village Committee.

Wang Jianguo's expression changed from stern to surprised and suspicious, and then from surprised and suspicious to embarrassed.

He picked up the two pieces of paper and examined them repeatedly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

It turns out they were hunting legally, and the pork was sold to a state-owned factory to support national development.

This isn't speculation and profiteering; this is clearly an advanced individual!

We also have relatives who work in a machinery factory. The factory distributes good New Year's goods, and these relatives can also benefit from it.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room became somewhat strange.

Wang Jianguo coughed twice, awkwardly rubbed his hands, wanting to say something to ease the tension, but he had spoken too confidently earlier and now had no way out, so he stood there awkwardly.

"Um...this..."

Just then, with a creak, the interrogation room door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing a uniform with four pockets walked in, the epaulets on his shoulders were very conspicuous under the light.

His face was stern, exuding an imposing presence even without anger.

As soon as Wang Jianguo saw the person arrive, he immediately stood up straight.

"Chief!"

The visitor was Zhou Zhengguo, the head of the county public security bureau.

Zhou Zhengguo grunted in acknowledgment, walked straight to the table, and glanced at the documents on it.

He picked up the receipt from the machinery factory, glanced at it, and then picked up the certificate from the village committee.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lu Qingshan's face, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Lu Qingshan met his gaze calmly.

Zhou Zhengguo stared at him for a good ten seconds, then turned to another page of the file in his hand. Suddenly, he asked, "You're Lu Qingshan?"
