"You...were promoted?" Bai Ying asked in surprise.
Zhuang Yongliang smiled helplessly, "This is all thanks to Bai Mo."
"What's the meaning?"
"Hmm... well."
Zhuang Yongliang did not explain to Bai Ying immediately. Instead, he brought her a glass of water and placed it in front of her. "Sit down first and talk slowly."
After Bai Ying sat down, the anxiety on her face did not dissipate at all.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yongliang didn't keep the secret any longer and said truthfully, "It's like this. Because I assisted the troops in cracking the case of enemy spies, and after returning, Bai Mo confessed his accomplices in the smuggling. In the past two days, I have led people to arrest the suspects one after another, so... I was promoted."
Zhuang Yongliang spoke very calmly, without any boasting in his words. It was obvious that in his opinion, promotion was not a big deal. On the contrary, there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"Congratulations to the Zhuangju."
Bai Ying briefly congratulated him and got straight to the point. "Since my second brother turned himself in first and confessed everything he should, can he be given a lighter punishment?"
"That's what I think."
Zhuang Yongliang tapped the table with his index finger. "It's just that now is the critical moment to catch smugglers. Once caught, they will be treated as typical cases, so the sentence will be very severe."
"If it was another crime, maybe Bai Mo could just get out of jail after his merits and demerits were offset, but it's different when it comes to smuggling."
"However... considering that Bai Mo performed meritorious service in his battles with the enemy spies, our bureau has already discussed adjusting his sentence to one year of forced labor on a farm, and confiscating all his illegal gains."
Bai Ying's eyes lit up, "A fine? That's easy!"
After this incident, she finally knew where the 500 yuan her second brother gave her came from. It turned out that it was really obtained illegally!
Fortunately, she felt something was wrong. The money had never been spent and was kept for her second brother. Now it is being used, isn't it?
"My second brother only made 500 yuan, and it's all here!"
Bai Ying took out a bulging bag of banknotes from the inside pocket of her clothes and pushed it to Zhuang Yongliang.
Zhuang Yongliang wanted to laugh, but held it back.
"Well, don't worry."
After collecting the money, he reassured Bai Ying, "Your brother will be fine. The bureau will send someone to send him to a labor camp tomorrow."
"Which farm is it? Can you tell me?"
Bai Ying asked cautiously.
If the farm was closer to the commune's troops, she could go there more often to deliver some things to her second brother.
Zhuang Yongliang smiled and said, "There's nothing to hide. It's on the farm of Hongqi Commune."
Hearing this, Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the farm where her second brother was doing forced labor was not in the Heping Commune where the army was located, the Hongqi Commune was not far away. She could get there in an hour by bicycle, which was not very difficult.
"Then...can I meet my second brother today?"
