Lu Tao saw that the three bald heads were clasped with fists, and what they said was more polite, so it was not good to keep a straight face anymore, so he let go of the right hand that was pinching the "Gu Niu", a smile appeared on his face, and he also hugged his fists and said: "Third brother, I was really busy with work some time ago, so Director Zou didn't have time to ask me to eat a few times. In this way, in two or three days, when I am done with the matter of visiting and condolences to poor households, I invite you to drink with Director Zou. ”

The three bald heads hurriedly agreed, and saw that Gu Niu was still standing in front of Wu Liangmin, staring at Lu Tao with both eyes, with an unconvinced expression on his face, and hurriedly shouted: "Gu Niu, put down the knife." Looking at Section Chief Lu's face today, let's let go of the good crutch first and let him slowly raise money to repay the debt. ”

Then, he pulled Lu Tao outside and asked in a low voice: "Section Chief Lu, what is the relationship between you and Wu Liangmin? Are you a relative or a friend? If you have a very good relationship with him and are ready to protect him, I must give this face, and when the time comes, you will propose a solution to me in front of him, and I will definitely promise you, even if you say that you don't have to pay me back, it doesn't matter, just when my tens of thousands of yuan of principal were lost in the casino." Taking a step back, I lost tens of thousands of dollars, but it was worth it to make a good friend like you, right?"

Lu Tao didn't expect him to be so righteous, so he believed that Zou Xianghong's evaluation of him was indeed more pertinent, and he smiled and said: "Third brother, Wu Liangmin and I are neither relatives nor friends, today I am accompanying Mayor Huang to send him condolences money." Just now, it seems that you really want to cut off one of Wu Liangmin's fingers, so come out to persuade him, it's not that I want to protect him. ”

The bald head also laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother, in fact, we are just to scare him, how dare we really cut his fingers! I just told you that I am less than 40 years old and have been in prison for 20 years, in fact, I am also bragging, thinking that you are also on the road, so I want to raise the 'qualifications' of imprisonment to scare you, in fact, I only spent three years in prison when I was 20 years old for fighting and fighting. However, I said that we should either see money or blood when collecting debts, which is true, and if you don't dissuade him just now, Gu Niu may cut a cut in Wu Liangmin's finger or beat him. This scoundrel can only be dealt with by this means. ”

Lu Tao nodded and said, "I understand, today you will give me a face, let Wu Liangmin go, and I will ask him an important question later." After today, you'd better force him every three or four days, so that he can't live in peace, and you can only find a way to make money to pay off his debts, but you still don't really hurt him, that will not be good for you. ”

Seeing that Lu Tao instigated them to force Wu Liangmin every few days, the three bald heads asked in surprise: "Brother, has Liangzhu offended you? If that's the case, then I will definitely give you anger." ”

Lu Tao shook his head with a smile and said, "No, it's the first time I've seen him today." However, I will come to him for important things in the future, but he will not necessarily agree to help. If you push him and force him to be cornered, then I will come forward to solve the problem for him, and maybe he can agree to help me. ”

Only then did the bald head understand his intentions, and he didn't ask him what he wanted Wu Liangmin to help with, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do what you ask." ”

After the two of them discussed it, they returned to the bedroom. The three bald heads glared at Wu Liangmin, who was still trembling, and shouted: "Liang kidnapper, for the sake of Section Chief Lu's face today, I will give you a few days of grace and let you go to raise money, and we will come back in four days." If you haven't raised the money yet, don't blame us for being ruthless. ”

After saying this, he arched his hand to Lu Tao and said, "Section Chief Lu, let's leave first, and then invite you and Director Zou to drink after you are busy in a few days." ”

Lu Tao said with a smile: "Third brother, Wu Liangmin already owes you so much money anyway, and he doesn't care about a few hundred yuan, why don't you please return the 800 yuan condolence money sent to him by the town! Looking at him like this, it is estimated that he really has no money to eat, in case he starves to death, it is not a good thing for you creditors, right?"

The three bald heads also laughed, took out the envelope containing the money from his bag, threw it on Wu Liangmin's bed, and shouted: "Look at Section Chief Lu's face today, I am a good person to the end, you can take this money to eat." But I warn you: you can't use this money for gambling, and if I or my brothers see you at the table again, not only will your money be confiscated, but your legs will be discounted, do you hear?"

Wu Liangmin hurriedly nodded and said, "I heard you!" Thank you, Third Brother, Section Chief Lu, and thank you, brothers!"

Lu Tao tucked the briefcase under his armpit and followed behind the three bald heads and the others, ready to go outside. But as soon as he took a step, Wu Liangmin suddenly grabbed his hand from behind and said in a pleading tone: "Section Chief Lu, can you please sit down for a few minutes before leaving?" ”

Lu Tao turned his head to look at him, deliberately muttered, and said, "Okay, I'll send the third brother and them outside, and I'll be back soon." ”

Subsequently, he sent Sanbald and the other four to the commissary about 200 meters away from Wu Liangmin's house, and asked the proprietress to take four packs of "He Tianxia" cigarettes, and gave each of the four of them a pack, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you and a few brothers have worked hard to make a trip, because I didn't get a penny to save face, I feel a little sorry not to go, you take this pack of cigarettes to smoke, talk about my apologies, next time I will invite Director Zou and my brothers to drink together!"

Gu Niu was still a little dissatisfied and dissatisfied with Lu Tao, but at this moment, seeing that he sent them out with a few thoughtful manners, and gave each person a pack of cigarettes of 100 yuan, and invited them to drink with Director Zou, he felt that this cadre of the Local Taxation Bureau was indeed more righteous and respectful, and the little mustard in his heart was eliminated at once, and he took the initiative to go up and hug Lu Tao and said: "Section Chief Lu, although I suffered a little loss in your hands just now, I admire your martial arts and character very much." Next time, if I'm lucky enough to have a drink with you, I'll be sure to toast you a few times. ”

Lu Tao also smiled and said a few kind words, then said goodbye to them and returned to Wu Liangmin's house.

As soon as Wu Liangmin saw him return to the bedroom, as if he had seen a great savior, he suddenly grabbed his hand and begged with tears: "Section Chief Lu, you must save me! You have a good relationship with Director Zou of the police station, and the third brother respects you very much, as long as you are willing to help me and guarantee my arrears, the third brother will not force me anymore." Otherwise, in three or four days, they will come back to force the debt, and then I will have only a dead end!"

Lu Tao shook off his dirty black hand, pointed to the bed and said, "You sit down first, let's have a good chat." ”

Wu Liangmin hurriedly climbed into bed, wiped a handful of tears and snot, and asked, "Section Chief Lu, what are you talking to me about first?"

Lu Tao was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "What is the matter between you and your wife? Just now we visited all the way, and many villagers reported that your wife lives in Songshan with two children, and her life is very nourishing, but you are so poor that you have no food to eat, and you still owe a lot of debts, how do you explain this?"
