But now, there is no sound.

Zhao Erlaizi couldn't help but turn his head to look. The crowd was still there, but he didn't know what they were doing.

He felt a little uneasy, but... he was already here, and he had already seen the house.

With a heavy heart, Zhao Erlaizi quickened his pace and rushed towards the house.

Officer Cui was surrounded by villagers, and even took off his hat, managing not to be noticed by Er Laizi.

Seeing him quicken his pace, Officer Cui was secretly alarmed; this man was indeed agile. He then immediately darted out of the crowd and followed.

Unexpectedly, the villagers and the brigade leader followed. Everyone remained silent, but the disordered footsteps were still quite noticeable in the quiet mountain forest.

Officer Cui told everyone not to follow, and they nodded in agreement, then stopped and stood still.

Maybe we can even see the police arresting bad guys here, everyone thought. Why not watch the excitement?

Just as Zhao Erlaizi pulled out a package, Officer Zhang pinned him to the ground.

"Let me go!" Zhao Erlaizi struggled.

"Finally caught you! Don't move!" Officer Zhang was overjoyed; it was such a great achievement!

This Zhao Erlaizi is the most cunning. They raided him several times but he always managed to escape. This time, they finally caught him.

The villagers heard a scream and followed out of curiosity. They saw Erlaizi, who was usually a wicked man, being pinned to the ground and screaming.

Li Zhuang and his brothers also arrived. Upon seeing this scene, Li Zhuang turned around and tried to push through the crowd to leave.

Sometimes being too tall isn't good either.

First, people who were just there to watch the excitement crowded to the front, and to escape, they had to push through many layers of people.

Secondly, someone so tall is easily spotted.

Sure enough, he was spotted by Zhao Erlaizi at a glance.

Holding the belief that he would drag others down with him even if he died, Zhao Erlaizi shouted, "Li Zhuang, stop right there! You often gamble with us too, why don't you get arrested?"

Li Zhuang's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Aunt Li knew perfectly well that Li Zhuang usually gambled with that group of hooligans in his spare time, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard the shout.

Then, his mouth ranted faster than his brain, "You heartless convict, you got arrested and you're dragging my son down with you!"

“My son works hard in the fields every day, how could he have time to gamble with you? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

Zhao Erlaizi had been a scoundrel since childhood, and the number of people who cursed him could stretch from the Zhao Family Village brigade to the commune. He would never be afraid of a stinky old woman cursing him.

Although his body was being pressed down, his mouth wasn't gagged. "Whether I'm lying or not, you can find out by looking. Didn't you two argue about where the bride price went yesterday? It's right here, the third brick under the broken window by the door. It can be moved; just pull it out and you'll see it."

He's been arrested, and nobody knows when he'll be back. It's a crackdown right now, so he'll probably be sent to a farm for decades. By the time he gets out, everything will have changed drastically.

He spent the best years of his life on the farm, and that's how his life will be.

He would never leave that money to any other swindlers. Li Zhuang was one, and Sun Laosan from the next brigade was another... He calculated in his mind that none of them would escape.

Aunt Li rushed over to stop them, using her frail body to block their way. "My son didn't gamble. He's talking nonsense. Why do you believe a scoundrel?"

Officer Cui advised, "We may not believe what he says, so we're here to investigate. Get out of the way, or you'll be obstructing official business, and we'll arrest you."

Aunt Li knew that if she moved aside, her son Dazhuang would be doomed and would definitely be arrested, so no matter what Officer Cui said, she just raised her head and refused to leave.

Officer Cui turned to ask the captain to find someone to bring her over, but as soon as he turned, he saw Li Zhuang's figure move.
