Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Lu Yao couldn't stop the two burly men and watched as Gou Shengzi was dragged into the office.

Lu Yao tried to go in, but was stopped by a team member with an armband.

"You're not allowed in. The director needs to interrogate the prisoner."

It's rather hasty to label someone as a "criminal" so easily.

However, Lu Yao knew that at this time, not only was it common to hastily convict someone, but also to disregard human life.

The death of a person is really as simple as the death of an ox or horse.

Li Po Si's demanding voice came from inside the house:

"You little brat, how many times have you fished? Tell me!"

Gou Shengzi's pleading voice cried out, "It's my first time, Uncle, please let me go! I know I was wrong!"

"Release you? Fine, tell me, how many accomplices do you have? That Zhang Tiezhu guy sold fish a few times, tell me honestly, and I might consider letting you go back first."

Gou Shengzi hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Actually, Tiezhu came with me. I won't give him the money even after I sell him. This has nothing to do with him, sir, uncle, please let him go!"

"You bastard, you dare lie to me! Trying to be a hero, huh? Beat him up!"

The sound of hitting someone came from inside the house.

At first, Gou Shengzi held back his barks, but later he cried out in pain a few times.

The female attendant named Dong Lisha asked:

"Hurry up and talk! Do you have any accomplices? How many times have you bought this? Confess and you'll be treated leniently! If you don't talk, I'll keep beating you!"

Gou Shengzi then became stubborn:

"I have no accomplices. This is the first time. Tie Zhu and I have absolutely nothing to do with buying fish!"

Female attendant Dong Lisha was also furious:

"Beat them up! They won't behave unless they're beaten!"

Then came the sounds of punches and kicks.

Gou Shengzi stopped making a sound, silently enduring the beating without uttering a peep.

She only makes two "uh-huh" sounds when the pain becomes unbearable.

Lu Yao panicked.

As someone who has survived countless hardships and battles, it's truly difficult for me to tolerate my brothers being humiliated in front of me.

He's now determined to kill!

He took the rifle off his back.

There are eight bullets in the gun.

Now that all the other team members have gone home, there are only seven or eight people left in the yard and inside the house.

but……

If I really kill these bastards, I'm destined to wander the world, not only taking Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu with me, but also my mother and sister...

I have a lot of concerns.

Just then, the old gatekeeper patted Lu Yao on the shoulder:

"Young man, who are you inside?"

"Childhood friend, brother."

"Try to pull some strings, otherwise the director won't release him. Or, you could give him something nice."

When the veteran said this, he looked around nervously, as if afraid someone would find out.

Judging from his appearance, he is a kind and good person.

He spoke up to remind them because he couldn't bear to see the children suffer.

He knew Li Posi.

Lu Yao understood immediately upon hearing this.

The county gazette states that Li Posi was a master of confiscating property and looting.

Moreover, he engaged in unethical practices against female subordinates and sexually assaulted female family members of victims.

This is a complete greedy and lustful person.

So for now, I won't resort to force; if I can use gentle persuasion, I'll do so first.

"Uncle, could you do me a favor and tell the director that I have something very important to tell him?"

The veteran looked at Lu Yao: "Now? Don't lie to the director, he has a bad temper."

"Okay, you should tell him now."

"You wait."

The veteran was really a good guy.

I went back inside.

He came out a moment later: "You can go in now, but I'll keep the gun for you for now."

Li Posi had already seen Lu Yao standing outside the door from the window.

So they let him in and had the veteran take his gun first.

Lu Yao already knew how to handle it; he tossed the gun to the veteran and went inside.

Gou Shengzi was lying on the ground with his mouth full of blood.

Seeing Lu Yao go in, he quickly said:

"You little rascal, you should leave now. This isn't the place to reason."

He was kicked on the head by a big man and dared not say another word.

Lu Yao was furious.

Looking at Li Posi's long face, he thought to himself, "You're finished, kid. You'll be spending the New Year down here."

But his face was all smiles:

"Director Li, I need to speak with you privately; it's a very important matter."

As he spoke, Lu Yao gently patted the inner pocket of his chest.

Li Posi immediately understood.

He sneered, "I could tell you two were here to bail someone out when you came with that guy surnamed Zuo. You're pretending to be investigating a case. Come here, I want to ask you some questions privately."

He led Lu Yao to the inner room.

Turning back to look at Lu Yao, she said, "Just say what you have to say, I don't have time to waste with you."

After saying that, he stared at Lu Yao's chest.

Lu Yao reached into his robes and took out the two gold bars he had found on Zhang Mazi:

"Director Li, here are two small yellow croakers as a token of our respect. Please release those two children."

Li Posi's pupils dilated.

"Where did you get these little yellow croakers?"

Lu Yao smiled mysteriously: "Director Li, we're both armed, is there any need to spell it out? I'll never forget Director Li whenever I get any benefits in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Posi smiled knowingly.

Needless to say, it was confiscated.

Never mind where he came from. Since this young man is so sensible, whether or not to deal with the two vendors is entirely up to him.

"No problem."

Li Posi reached out and took the gold bars.

Little did he know that from that moment on, he had already stepped into the gates of hell.

He messed with the wrong person.

Li Posi and Lu Yao came out of the inner room with smiles on their faces.

Two hundred grams of small yellow croaker, at eight yuan per gram, would cost 1,600 yuan.

His monthly salary was only 42.5 yuan, so this money was a windfall.

He waved to his two subordinates:

"Let those two boys go. It's a misunderstanding. His fish were caught with permission from the commune, and he wanted to take them to the supply and marketing cooperative. These two brats just got lost and went astray!"

In short, the charge of speculation and profiteering was wiped off.

Lu Yao immediately realized that this guy was a seasoned veteran, and had probably done this kind of thing many times before.

The two burly men were also Li Posi's trusted confidants, so they naturally understood their leader's meaning.

He bent down and loosened the rope binding Gou Shengzi:

"Go with your friend and wait in the yard. We'll go and release that guy named Zhang Tiezhu too."

Gou Shengzi was completely dumbfounded.

What did Lu Yao say when he followed Li Po Si into the house? How come he came out in less than two minutes? Why did Li Po Si, who was usually so fierce, become so kind?

They followed Lu Yao into the courtyard.

The veteran returned the gun to Lu Yao.

Seeing how efficient Lu Yao was, they admired him greatly.

He offered Lu Yao a cigarette and chatted with him for a while.

Not long after, Tiezhu was also brought out.

Not only were the people released, but the bicycle was also returned.

There were no fish left; they said they'd already been shared among everyone.

Lu Yao didn't mind this small matter and said goodbye to these people with a big smile.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Yao's face fell.

I wouldn't smile at someone like that if it weren't to save them.

Tie Zhu knew that Lu Yao had saved him, and he apologized with great shame.

"Tuwazi, we were wrong. We've caused you so much trouble."

He turned around and smacked Gou Shengzi with a stick:

"You bastard, kneel down before that country bumpkin!"

Gou Shengzi was filled with regret and was about to kneel down when Lu Yao stopped him.

Seeing his bruised and swollen face, I didn't want to blame him.

Although this kid was greedy for money at the time, he was quite loyal when it mattered.

Even when being beaten up, he always wanted to take the hits alone.

"You two should head back before it gets dark. Leave the car with me; I have some things to do."

Tie Zhu quickly asked, "What's wrong? Can we help?"

"No need. Go back and report to Uncle Ba, get your signatures, and I'll take you hunting in the mountains the day after tomorrow!"

The two of them were overjoyed to hear this.

Knowing that Lu Yao was destined for great things, she stopped following him.

They left the bicycle with him and headed home.

Lu Yao pushed his bicycle to the corner, hugged his gun, squatted in the corner, and stared at the command post compound.

Waiting for Li Posi to come out.

I can't just let my two little yellow croakers go like this.
