The first two days were fine, everything went well, whether it was digging coal or carrying coal, there were no problems, but on the third day, the trouble came.

After ten o'clock that night, the stars in the sky were bright, and Hu Mingchen and several adults were walking on the path with coal on their backs.

Although it affects the light of the road at night, it is better to be cool, and the mountain breeze at night is very comfortable, so even if you carry dozens of pounds of coal on your back, you will not feel hard and too hot.

Hu Mingchen was young, so he only carried about 40 pounds, and the other adults were no less than 100 pounds each.

A group of people chatted happily while walking, especially Xu Jinnan's wife Song Chunmei, Long Cui'e and Jiang Yucai, Li Xiumei, these women, they are like a river, endless, if anyone tells a joke, the crisp laughter will resound in the valley.

It seems that as long as there is a joke, you can forget the weight on your back and the exhaustion of your body for a while.

However, just when Li Xiumei told a joke from her mother-in-law's house, which made everyone almost lean forward and backward, suddenly, a few people jumped down from the embankment in front of them, and in an instant, they turned on a few flashlights to shine on their group of coal-carrying teams.

"Stop, all stand still and don't move. Originally, these people suddenly jumped down from the sill, and they had already startled people, and when the other party shouted again, Jiang Yucai and they were even more frightened, thinking that they had encountered a thief.

It's just that if I think about it, no, if it's a thief, then this thief is bold, if one or two people are robbed at night, it doesn't seem very strange, but they are six or seven people. Even if most of them are women, it is a force to be reckoned with.

In the vicinity of Duge Township, except before the liberation, it seems that I have never heard of so many people and colleagues being robbed.

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do?" Xu Jinnan was the only big man in the team, so he stopped and asked twice.

"What are you going to do? We should be asking you what you are doing? Stealing coal, that's stealing national resources, it's a crime, do you know? Hmph, it's so bold that it's like a coal stealing gang. A person stood in the crowd on the other side, swept the flashlight on Hu Mingchen and his group of people, and said angrily.

As soon as you hear what the other party says, everyone knows that these people are not thieves and robbers. But although the other party is not a thief or robber, Jiang Yucai and they are not relieved.

It's very simple, if the other party says anything about stealing coal and breaking the law, it should be someone from the township.

"What are you doing here? Where did you come from? Don't frame you as soon as you open your mouth. Hu Mingchen put down the basket, walked to the front, and asked like a little adult.

These people were all invited by Hu Mingchen's family to help, no matter what, Hu Mingchen's family couldn't help but come forward. And Hu Jianjun was not there, Jiang Yucai was shocked by these people who suddenly appeared, and stood there in a daze. Hu Mingchen, as the initiator and funder of these actions, must come out and face the problem.

"Yo, there's a little doll, it's not easy, it's amazing to be involved in stealing coal at such a young age. He also asked us where we came from, hehe, little doll, tell you, we are from the township police station, do you understand the police station? Dare to say that we framed us, what are you carrying, take a look. As soon as he saw that it was a teenage doll who was the leader, the leader immediately laughed playfully.

After this person finished speaking, two assistant policemen looked like flashlights and stepped forward to check Jiang Yucai's back basket.

"Brother Qin, it's all coal, at least six or seven hundred catties. An assistant police officer who participated in the inspection returned and reported.

"Five or six hundred catties, a lot, there are so many of you, a few times a day, the country's thousands of catties of coal resources are gone." This case is not small, do you know that if you are arrested, you will be sentenced to prison. Brother Qin shook his head and said.

As soon as he heard that he was going to be sentenced to prison, even Xu Jinnan, who had just stood up, involuntarily took two steps back.

Help carry some coal and earn a little salt money, if you get involved in a lawsuit because of this, it is very unworthwhile, let alone a sentence as serious as imprisonment.

Xu Jinnan's big men retreated, and the other women were even more silent, looking at Jiang Yucai one by one, waiting for her to make up her mind.

They are helping Jiang Yucai's family, and if something happens, of course, Jiang Yucai's family will be responsible for settling it, and it is very unfair to ask them to take responsibility.

"Comrade policeman, just let us go, we don't know about this crime, it's okay, just let us go for a while." So many people looked at him, Jiang Yucai was one head and two big, and he didn't know how to deal with it correctly, so he could only say good things and plead.

"Hehe, that's a nice word, don't you know? It's been ordered three times, and there is a sign on the mountain prohibiting the mining of small coal kilns, can't you see it? If everyone wants us to let it go, wouldn't it be a mess? Who will protect the country's resources in the future, and how will the country's laws be implemented?" Brother Qin sneered twice and said in a high voice.

"I can't read, and I can't read the signs. Jiang Yucai muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph, then if you can't read, you can break the law, and if you can't read, you can kill people and set fires? Brother Qin snorted coldly and raised his voice and shouted.

"Don't talk about these evil things, since you are a policeman, then speak more civilly, you just say it directly, how to deal with this matter today?" Hu Mingchen really couldn't listen to it, and asked seriously with a frown.

Hu Mingchen asked, that is a foundation. In Hu Mingchen's memory, there are almost no people around here who have been sentenced to prison for stealing coal and carrying coal home.

In the vast majority of cases, if the circumstances are not serious, it is just a matter of evaluation and approval, after all, the villagers and the common people also have to burn coal.

Even if it is the kind of coal that is secretly dug up and sold, and the situation is a little more serious, there are two ways to deal with it, one is a fine, and the other is to detain at most those who refuse to cooperate.

After all, the kind of situation where there is really a large-scale investment in recruiting people to mine on a large scale has not happened.

Because of this, Hu Mingchen was not intimidated by the other party's threatening words. People in several surrounding villages will carry coal home to burn every year, which is almost an open secret, but the common people do not do it publicly, do not carry it during the day, and choose to do it at night.

"You little doll, just flash to the side, how to solve this matter, that's the matter of adults. Brother Qin glanced at Hu Mingchen impatiently and said.

"These relatives are the ones I invited to carry coal for my family, and they are my business, and I will handle them. Hu Mingchen didn't really flash aside because the other party despised him.

"You invited it? You all invited it by this little doll?" Hu Mingchen's actions made Brother Qin stunned for a moment, and he rushed to Xu Jinnan and asked.

No one answered yes, and no one answered no,

The person who invited them was Hu Jianjun, but after two days, they also learned that it was Hu Mingchen who wanted to invest in Jiang's business, so this was also equivalent to Hu Mingchen's invitation.

But they can't admit it, after all, Hu Mingchen is still a child, if they admit that it's him, then who knows if it will have a bad impact on him, not to mention, Jiang Yucai is still there. No matter what you want to say, you have to wait for Jiang Yucai to speak, so as not to offend his family.

"They are tantamount to acquiescing, so ah, this matter has nothing to do with them, how do you deal with it, I will follow you to deal with it. Hu Mingchen turned his head and glanced back.

"It has nothing to do with them? You say it's okay, it's okay, you little doll, you said you invited it all to help you carry it, who will believe it? What about your family? Call your family. And you, don't think that if you don't speak, it doesn't have anything to do with you, I tell you, there's no such thing as a cheap thing. "Brother Qin can't do what Hu Mingchen said, otherwise, then where did he come from when he took a few brothers to this mountain?

To be more direct, I don't sleep at night, and I run to this mountain in the dark, just to get some money, which is the main purpose.

Brother Qin, they are not idiots, Hu Mingchen is a teenager doll, take him to deal with it, so can there be any other choice but to criticize and let go? This little kid is a fool who knows that he is underage at a glance, let alone saying that he has not broken the law, even if he has broken the law, he does not need to take responsibility.

Besides, if they let go of a vote of adults and catch a doll, it would be strange if they would not be laughed to death.

"He's my doll, the little doll is not sensible, it has nothing to do with him, it really doesn't matter, these people are indeed invited by my family to carry coal. Comrade, we just carry some coal and go home to burn it, so you can raise your noble hand and let us go. Jiang Yucai, who was anxious to protect her son, was worried that Hu Mingchen would cause trouble, so she had to stand up and take on and plead.

"I just said it can't be a little doll, if you don't ask me, it's useless to beg me. Since there is a mastermind, then this matter will be easy to handle, all of you, carry your coals on your back, and go to the police station with us to be dealt with, if you don't get it right, you will be sent to the detention center tonight, waiting for the court's trial. As soon as Jiang Yucai jumped out, Brother Qin laughed proudly.

As long as you catch the leader, then this matter will be easy to do.

"Oh, you still have to go to the police station and detention center, no need, Jiang Yucai, tell the comrades at the police station quickly, we are just here to help, who knows that it will be so serious." Li Xiumei said scaredly.

Ordinary people are reluctant to go to the police station, let alone the detention center, because they are guilty. For Li Xiumei, she is also worried that this matter will have an impact on Tong Bailiang, who teaches at Huangni Primary School.

So Li Xiumei hurriedly cleared up the relationship and put pressure on Jiang Yucai at the same time. Not to mention that you have to carry the coal on your back to the police station all the way to torture the dead.
