The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

The short guy was in the wrong, but he was stubborn.

"Who knows if you've already finished processing them all? There are only a few pieces left."

Li Tian continued to probe for information with a cold face.

"Can't we have just bought these few pieces?"

The short man stood with his hands on his hips and waved his hands.

"You don't need to nag me about these things. Anyway, if we find any contraband, we'll deal with it."

"If you want to go back, you have to pay a fine."

Li Tian rolled her eyes.

"Will you issue a receipt?"

The short man's smile had long since vanished, replaced only by impatience.

"What receipt? I don't have one."

Li Tian was somewhat surprised; this was blatant robbery.

"Since you're conducting the raid on behalf of the government and representing the government in imposing penalties, why isn't there a receipt? Are you trying to show favoritism?"

The short man was speechless, then immediately twisted his face and stretched out his hand to slap him.

Li Tian put on a wronged expression.

"What, you're in the wrong and you still want to hit me?"

Liu Wei pulled Li Tian behind him.

Reasoning can be left to Li Tian, ​​but if it really comes down to taking action, he will definitely be at the forefront.

Li Muchen and Shen Yi stood on either side of Li Tian.

Although Shen Yi was a weakling, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he also grabbed the itching powder for self-defense.

When the short man saw Liu Wei step forward, he naturally didn't dare to fight him, and didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

They were shouting as they retreated.

"Fine, fine, fine, so you're openly defying law enforcement, aren't you?"

"I was thinking of doing some good deeds since it's almost the end of the year, but I can't do good deeds in this situation."

The short man hid behind the leader.

"Boss, don't show them any mercy. Just do what needs to be done and lock them up for a few days first."

The man in the lead stepped forward.

He ignored the short man's explanation.

Actually, he would let these people go if they just gave him some money.

People of all ages who dare to venture into the mountains are clearly not to be trifled with, and he didn't want to confront them head-on.

But since these people were so disrespectful, he couldn't let it go.

Otherwise, how will I be able to lead my subordinates in the future?

Besides, who wouldn't want to have a prosperous New Year?

The leader looked up at Liu Wei, whose face clearly showed he was not to be trifled with, and then at the wary young man.

In the end, I decided to have a talk with Mr. Shen.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but an old person has more experience and more concerns.

"Old man, since you refuse to accept the punishment, then come with us."

If it were just Grandpa Shen and his grandson, he might have silently accepted the fine.

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he should consider it a matter of paying money to avoid disaster.

Because seeking help through connections to solve a problem also requires reciprocating those favors.

However, he was accompanied by the Li siblings.

This needs to be discussed.

See what they think and how they hope to resolve the issue.

"We'll discuss it and get back to you."

The man in the lead stepped back a few paces and gestured for them to proceed.

As long as there is some room for maneuver, that's fine.

They only bring the person back to collect a fine; they can't really do anything to the person.

Old Shen looked directly at Li Tian.

Although she was the youngest, she was the backbone of the three of them.

"How do you plan to resolve this?"

Li Tian patted her pocket.

With the evidence in hand, she was very confident.

Moreover, it was clear that those few were purely greedy for money and had no other evil intentions.

Beating them up is just a way to vent your anger; it's pointless. When you try to get someone to handle the situation later, it just makes it seem like they're in the wrong.

In the end, no matter how powerful they are, they are just outsiders, not local bullies.

Unnecessarily causing trouble will only put you in a passive position.

Totally unnecessary.

"Pay up and leave, then we'll find someone to deal with them."

Once we get to the city, using family connections to deal with these people would be giving them credit.

If you get taken away and then wait for someone to come and bail you out, you'll be indebted to them.

Why owe favors when you can gain credit for your work?

Even if these relationships are with the elders of the family who were once subordinates, they will still have to be repaid with benefits in the future.

People don't do things for you for free.

Since Li Tian had made up his mind, Old Shen did not try to dissuade him.

Liu Wei was listening attentively.

Seeing that Mr. Shen had no objections, he took out 25 yuan.

Just as the leader reached out to take it, Li Tian walked over and pressed her hand on the money.

"Uncle, which department are you from? You should at least let your family know after handing over such a large sum of money."

"We can't let the uncle who accompanied us take the blame."

25 yuan, a month's salary.

The leading man was determined to win.

At this point, they stopped worrying about Li Tian's problem.

"We are from the forest law enforcement team, and we are legitimately investigating and seizing stolen goods."

Li Tian released her grip and stepped back.

Liu Wei clutched the banknotes tightly, unwilling to let go, even though he had helped his fellow villagers, he was unwilling to feed the parasites.

Seeing this, Li Tian asked another question.

"Will no one check ahead anymore?"

The man in the lead patted his chest.

"If there are any more checkpoints ahead, just mention my name, Wang Datou, and no one will dare to cause trouble."

Li Tian smiled and turned off the recording.

All done!

Liu Wei reluctantly let go, for when you're traveling, safety is paramount.

After packing their luggage, the group swaggered through the checkpoint.

Once we entered the county town, we first found a guesthouse to stay in.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Li Tian went to the service desk to borrow a phone.

Of course, I didn't lend it for nothing; I gave the waiter a dollar.

Li Tian dialed the phone number her father had told her to memorize.

"Hello, are you Uncle Duan? I'm Li Tian, ​​and my dad is Li Yuanchao."

"Li Tian? My dear niece, where are you now?"

"We've arrived in your county and just checked into the guesthouse. Uncle Duan, would it be convenient for us to have lunch together?"

Li Tian had no intention of complaining over the phone, much less mentioning the punishment she had received.

Because we're not familiar with each other.

"Okay, you wait here at the guesthouse. We'll meet and talk in twenty minutes."

Goodbye, Uncle.

Li Tian didn't foolishly wait at the door; instead, she went to the washroom to do laundry.

Duan An is here; you can find her by asking around.

After Li Tian finished washing her clothes, she called Li Muchen over to help her wring them dry.

Before the clothes were even hung on the line, a middle-aged man, not very tall but very energetic, walked in.

Li Tian asked tentatively.

"Uncle Duan?"

The man quickened his pace, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

After stopping, he first sized up Li Tian a few times.

"They look alike, so alike, like they were cut from the same mold as Li Yuanchao."

Li Tian smiled.

Duan An saw her undisguised joy and probably saw more of Li Yuanchao's image in her face.

This is the bond forged through shared experiences of fighting together.

"Hello, Uncle, this is my brother, Li Muchen."

Li Muchen stepped forward to greet him.

Duan An smiled and patted Li Muchen on the shoulder.

The courtyard wasn't a good place to talk, so Duan An looked at Li Tian.

"Is anyone else here? Pack your bags and come home with me. How can you stay outside when you're here with your uncle?"

Li Tian didn't want to stay at the Duan family's house. She wasn't familiar with it, didn't have much to say to them, and would expect to be treated so hospitably.

uneasy.

"Uncle Duan, there are five of us in total. We've just settled into the guesthouse, so we won't trouble your family any further."
