As soon as Lin Jianguo finished speaking, two sturdy militiamen emerged from the crowd.
The two militiamen followed Lin Jianguo's order and went forward to capture Lin Huowang.
There was a sudden sigh at the scene, but no one dared to say a word to help Lin Huowang.
Firstly, they had no personal relationship with Lin Huowang, so there was no need to offend the captain for him.
Secondly, in Linjiagou, the production team leader Lin Jianguo has great power and basically has the final say.
No matter who tries to intercede for him, it will be useless.
"Alas! This Lin Huowang is really unlucky. He is guilty of speculation! I heard that he can be shot for that."
"I finally found two wild rabbits. If it were me, I would hide in my home and eat them quietly. How wonderful!
Lin Huowang has been involved in so many things, and now he is in trouble, right? He deserves it. "
“If you mess with the captain, you’ll have to pay him back.
In my opinion, Liu Zhiqing is a beauty who brings disaster. Whoever gets involved with her will suffer misfortune..."
…
Some people laughed at the joke, some felt sorry for Lin Huowang, and some people set their eyes on Liu Rumeng...
"Don't catch my brother!"
Lin Xiaoxue immediately stood in front of Lin Huowang and shouted at the two militiamen, "Why are you arresting my brother? If you want to arrest him, take me with you..."
The same went for Liu Rumeng. She and Lin Xiaoxue protected Lin Huowang on both sides, and their lips were a little purple from the cold.
The scene before her reminded her of what happened a few years ago.
Those young soldiers wearing red armbands rushed into their home and knocked their father, who was as tall as a mountain, to the ground.
The men were given shaved heads and paraded and criticized everywhere.
Liu Rumeng was trembling all over. She was so scared. She was afraid that Lin Huowang would be taken away like her father, and she would never see him again.
Why was God so cruel to her?
She had finally found someone to rely on, but were they going to be separated in the same way again?
Perhaps, just as what the villagers said, I am really a disaster?
When her father was taken away a few years ago, she was still young and was so scared that she hid aside and trembled. She didn't even have the courage to stand up and stop it.
This has always been her heart knot and regret, and today, facing two fierce militiamen, Liu Rumeng will never allow herself to regret it for the rest of her life.
She stood firmly in front of Lin Huowang and said resolutely:
"Catch me if you want!
It's me who's speculating!
I am also the eldest daughter of the capitalist roader!
It has nothing to do with forest fires.
It was my idea to exchange the two rabbits for food."
"Mengmeng! You..."
Lin Huowang widened his eyes in surprise that Liu Rumeng actually took the initiative to step forward and take all the "blame" for herself.
"Awang! You are a good person.
Good people should live well.
Last night, it was you who continued to give me hope of life.
If I can exchange me for your safety now, it's worth it. I don't want to live anyway."
These words immediately touched the softest part of Lin Huowang's heart.
Then, Lin Huowang snorted coldly and gently protected Liu Rumeng behind him.
Faced with the two militiamen rushing up, he was not at all panicked.
He directly confronted the captain Lin Jianguo and asked:
"Captain Lin, since you said I committed the crime of speculation.
Then could you please come with me...Oh no!
We should talk in detail with everyone present about what the country’s regulations are regarding the crime of speculation and profiteering!
In this way, you can use me as a warning case to prevent others from breaking the law again!"
After asking this question, Lin Huowang threw the question back to Lin Jianguo.
The villagers and educated youth also looked at Lin Jianguo.
After all, what Lin Huowang said just now touched their hearts.
The person arrested today is Lin Huowang. If we don't make it clear what the crime of speculation is, they might be the ones arrested someday.
If you, as the leader of the production team, cannot even clearly explain what speculation and profiteering is, then on what basis can you arrest Lin Huowang for the crime of speculation and profiteering?
really……
Lin Jianguo was stumped by Lin Huowang's question. After all, he had not even graduated from elementary school, and he became the team leader by relying on his innocent identity as a poor peasant and his own strength.
How would he know the specific definition and terms of speculation?
But he also has his own way and is not troubled by the problem of forest fires.
I directly used my own superficial understanding and said it very straightforwardly:
"Lin Huowang! You sold two rabbits in public. Isn't this speculation?"
Seeing that he was beginning to fall into the trap, Lin Huowang immediately began to refute: "How could you see me selling for money? I was exchanging it for food and eggs, everyone could see it.
The only fifty cents was used to pay for the food that the two educated youths did not have enough to eat.”
"What are you talking about! Selling it for money or exchanging it for food or other things, isn't it the same thing?
In short, you are guilty of speculation! I have the final say."
Lin Jianguo didn't intend to listen to Lin Huowang's further explanations, and he immediately made a judgment and asked him:
"Just tell me whether you plead guilty or not!
Leniency to those who confess; severity to those who resist.
I advise you to confess your crime honestly, so that you can suffer less in the commune."
"Okay, Captain, if this exchange is considered speculation, I admit it!
But at the same time, I want to report and expose…”
With a sly smile on his face, Lin Huowang began to give a series of reports:
"Zhong Yuejin and Tian Jinbu, two educated youths, exchanged cornmeal with me for rabbit meat. This must be speculation.
Your brother, Lam Kin-ye, traded my eggs for rabbit meat and was also engaged in profiteering.
