People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"Old Yi, Lin Yi, you keep these small yellow croakers and Yuan Datou. This is all I can give you. When the time comes, we'll negotiate how much we can get. If it's not enough, Old Yi, I'll have to sacrifice my old face. You have to help me get through this difficult time." Yan Fugui turned around and pleaded with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Old Yan, even if you didn't tell me, I would have lent you the money. This is for emergency use only, not for poverty relief. Your family is in trouble, and I definitely can't just ignore it."

After taking a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision, Yan Fugui continued, "Lin Yi, I'll trouble you tomorrow. If this matter can be negotiated, no matter how much it is, I will prepare another fifty yuan. If it can be negotiated for a hundred yuan, the difference of eighty yuan will also be given to you."

Lin Yi pushed the small yellow croaker and Yuan Datou that Yan Fugui had put on the table to Yan Fugui and said, "Teacher Yan, I'll help you. That's for the old lady's sake. If you remember this favor, you can ask me to come to the old lady's room more often and talk to her more. When the time comes, you can talk to the other party about how much money you want. If there's any extra, you can keep it yourself. If it's not enough, Uncle Yi has also said that he will make up for it for you. Just tighten your belt and pay it back."

Lin Yi is not short of money and does not look down on such small things. Besides, these days, having money without tickets is useless.

Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng left first.

Lin Yi and the others continued to eat dinner.

"Lin Yi, will you go alone with Lao Yan and the others tomorrow? Do you want me to go too?" Yi Zhonghai asked Lin Yi with some concern.

Lin Yi thought, if you are really worried, why don't you be a bad guy and reject Yan Fugui at the beginning. However, he didn't say it out loud. He didn't blame Yi Zhonghai for this. It's really hard to refuse such a request from a neighbor.

"I'm going to go to the police station later to see if they can send someone to go with us."

Lin Yi had a plan in mind. He could represent the security department of the steel mill. After all, Yan Jiecheng was an employee of the steel mill, and this matter could also be considered within the jurisdiction of the public security team. By calling the public security station to represent the street office, all the officials would be present.

"If the people from the Public Security Bureau find out, will they make a big deal out of it? Old Yan doesn't want this to become a big deal. It can be seen that Yan Jiecheng's work is Old Yan's lifeblood." Yi Zhonghai felt that it was unreliable to call on the people from the Public Security Bureau. Lin Yi's public security team was different from the Public Security Bureau.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. If I were to come forward alone, the other commune would think that our steel mill is using its power to bully them, which would leave hidden dangers."

Lin Yi explained that he had his own plan. This matter could only be handled in the name of mediation. At that time, both parties would sign a settlement agreement or something, and it would be considered settled. If Lin Yi came alone, it would be troublesome if he turned against them in the future. Lin Yi knew that Xu Damao was also involved. Although Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng did not say that Xu Damao had cheated Yan Jiecheng, the meaning behind their words was that Xu Damao was also involved.

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Yi Zhonghai realized that Lin Yi's considerations were indeed more comprehensive than his. According to Lin Yi's handling of this matter, it could be said that it was foolproof.

The old lady naturally heard Lin Yi's plan clearly, and even picked up a piece of duck meat for Lin Yi, praising him and saying: "My dear grandson is reliable. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau must go."

After dinner, Lin Yi rode his bike out. He was going to look for Zhou Kangri. Zhou Kangri had to know about this matter as well. By then, Zhou Kangri would also have to send out people from the public security bureau.

"Why is there such a commotion in your courtyard? Didn't you come to the station this morning to have someone write a case of theft? Now someone has gone to the countryside to sleep with a widow and committed a lifestyle problem?" Zhou Kangri said to Lin Yi with a smile.

"I can't do anything about it. Now that it's done, there's no way to avoid it."

Lin Yi spread his hands to show his innocence.

In the morning, Lin Yi went to the police station and told the police about Banggeng stealing money. The clerk of the police station then wrote a case file, which was considered a temporary file. From now on, whether it would be included in Banggeng and Qin Huairu's personal files and whether it would be reported to the steel rolling mill would depend on whether the Jia family could correct themselves in the future.

"Okay, I'll tell Xiao Ning tomorrow and ask him to go with you. But don't rush to support him when the time comes. Although it sounds like a trap, the possibility of being set up is quite high, but this Yan Jiecheng is definitely not a good guy, he must be taught a lesson."

Zhou Kangri was afraid that Lin Yi would act on impulse and support the neighbors of the courtyard without principles. In that case, even if the matter was settled, there would be many hidden dangers in the future. He was optimistic about Lin Yi's future growth and did not want Lin Yi to leave any handle on these trivial matters.

"Uncle, I know this. This time I'm just going to do a notarization. I won't be biased towards the Yan family. If the other party really feels wronged and wants Yan Jiecheng to go to jail, I won't be soft-hearted."

Lin Yi understood Zhou Kangri's meaning and also made a guarantee patrol.

"Just be aware of it yourself. This incident is actually a warning bell. This rule has just been established, and there are still many evil spirits. When you do things in the future, be more careful. Don't drink too much. It's easy to cause trouble." Zhou Kangri advised earnestly.

In the morning, Lin Yi first went to the steel rolling mill and found Zhang Bing, the director of the security department.

Fortunately, Zhang Bing was there.

Lin Yi told Yan Jiecheng roughly about his plan to go to the countryside to help him solve the problem.

Zhang Bing considers more than Lin Yi.

"You ride that tricycle later. By the way, you can ride a tricycle, right?" Zhang Bing asked.

Lin Yi nodded. Tricycles are all similar. He had ridden a three-wheeled motorcycle before, but it was a three-wheeled tricycle. He had never ridden one before, but he thought it would not be difficult.

"This matter should be settled privately as much as possible. This is such a shameful thing that everyone in the factory will be embarrassed about."

Zhang Bing explained a little to Lin Yi, and then said: "You have a gun, don't you? Take it with you when you go today. The clan power in the countryside is quite strong, so it's good to have a deterrent."

After hearing this, Lin Yi understood and said, "Director, I will definitely get it done."

Lin Yi took the note given by Zhang Bing, went to the transport team, and found the tricycle.

There are several tricycles parked in the steel mill's transport team parking lot.

"No one usually uses this car. It is only used when your security department has a factory mission."

The worker in charge of maintenance of the transport team introduced these three-wheeled motorcycles to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi found a bike that didn’t look that shabby, took the key, turned the accelerator on the handlebar, and then tried to push it with his foot. It didn’t start, so he just kept twisting the accelerator on the handlebar without stopping his foot. After pushing it more than ten times, the motorcycle started with a rumbling sound and black smoke.

"Awesome." The maintenance worker gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.

If the engine is not used for a long time, air will enter the oil circuit, and the engine will have to be started several times before it can start.

Many people don’t know this.

After getting on the car, Lin Yi didn't dare to ride fast at first. After all, it was an unfamiliar car. Moreover, the shock absorbers and steering of the cars of this era were not so good. The stability was not as good as those produced in later generations, and it was easy to stall.

I rode the motorcycle carefully out of the factory.

Only then did Lin Yi dare to speed up.

These days, there are not many motor vehicles on the road, so there is no need to honk the horn. When people hear the sound of an exhaust pipe, some people will automatically move out of the way. Some who react slower will look to see what kind of car is coming, but no one will stand in the middle of the road blocking the way.

Lin Yi rode his bike to the public security office first. As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Ning, whom Zhou Kangri mentioned, was already waiting at the door.

Xiao Ning's full name is Ning Yi, the same as Lin Yi's. It is easy for ordinary people to call the two names wrong.

"Brother Ning, get in the car." Lin Yi called out.

"Xiao Lin, you are great. You can even ride this three-wheeled vehicle." Ning Linyi was quite envious. There were also two three-wheeled vehicles in their security station, but they were reluctant to use them usually because the fuel was insufficient. Moreover, these vehicles were old and broke down easily. There was no one in the security station who could repair them, so they had to go outside to find a technician to fix them.

"It's from the factory. Our director knew the journey was long, so he approved it specially." Lin Yi explained.

With Ning Linyi, both of them were wearing uniforms. Just looking at their clothes, there was no difference, except for the hats and armbands on their heads.

One is written as "Public Security" and the other is written as "Public Security". The patrol team of the Security Department is called "Security".

I went to the courtyard to pick up Yan Fugui, and Yan Jiecheng was next to him.

"Who is this?"

Seeing Lin Yi bringing an unfamiliar person over, Yan Fugui asked.

"Police officers from the Public Security Bureau, come with us."

Lin Yi didn't say much, and gestured to Yan Fugui to get on the motorcycle. As for Yan Jiecheng, he sat backwards on the sidewalk where the spare tire was placed, which was quite bumpy.

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to go to Changping by himself or take a tricycle.

Yan Jiecheng now has no money on him and can only rely on his own two legs. He doesn't know when he will be able to return to the countryside.

Yan Fugui wanted to ask why they had to bring people from the Public Security Bureau, but when he saw Lin Yi's serious expression, he stopped asking.

The road was not good, it was all dirt roads, very bumpy, and the shock absorbers of the motorcycle were really rubbish. Yan Fugui could hardly bear the bumps. Even worse was Yan Jiecheng, who almost fell off the tricycle several times.

Fortunately, there are very few cars on the road these days, so there is almost no sand raised by passing vehicles, and the people in the cars don’t get much sand in their mouths.

Even so, we arrived at our destination at noon.

As soon as I entered the village, someone came to ask me questions.

Lin Yi and Ning Lin Yi were both wearing uniforms and riding military green tricycles. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

"Is your captain here?"

In the car, Lin Yi asked condescendingly.

His trip was to help Yan Jiecheng settle the dispute. He had to put on airs, otherwise he would be looked down upon by the villagers. Moreover, Zhang Bing's intention was to try to settle the matter privately. How the factory dealt with Yan Jiecheng was its own business, but it involved the commune. Even if Yan Jiecheng was right, it would ultimately bring shame to the steel rolling mill.

"The captain is in the brigade meeting room. I'll take you there." The villager who spoke hurriedly led the way.

Lin Yi rode for a while and many villagers saw them. Someone recognized Yan Jiecheng and quickly went to communicate with the widow.

"Comrade, what business do you have?"
