"Sheng Yixiu was arrested by the police? When did it happen?" Xiao Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
He felt a little helpless. He had been dealing with police officers these past two days, and something happened again at this critical juncture.
Sheng Yixiu is usually careless and uneducated, so he doesn't like this person very much. If Shi Ye hadn't proposed it, and if the accounting job was not left by Sheng Wei, he would not have recommended him to do this job.
When Xia Yun heard that Sheng Yixiu was in trouble, she was immediately happy. Her face behind the mask was curved with eyebrows, and she looked gloating.
Sheng Yixiu is not her uncle. When they were in Yandu, they were the type who would not say a word to each other when they met in the compound. He was the kind of person who was always studying some small business, so it was only a matter of time before he was arrested. She was not surprised at all.
Whenever something happened in the past, her father and Sheng Wei would back him up. But this time, let’s see who can save him!
Thinking of this, Xia Yun's expression became better. She glanced at Shi Ye, then looked at Xiao Yue who was sitting at the table, her eyes flashing slightly.
There was no expression on Shiya's face. She had long guessed that Sheng Yixiu was in trouble. She looked at Wan Binbin and said calmly, "Secretary Wan, what happened? Tell us the whole story, otherwise we don't know what to do."
Wan Binbin looked at the calm and collected Shi Ye, and thought of the silent little girl who came to the office to find Sheng Wei. He felt a little sad. After losing her parents and going to the northwest, she has become so capable.
Thinking of this, he kept talking and told everyone the whole story of Sheng Yixiu.
After hearing this, Shi also sighed in his heart. It seemed that things had changed after the first chance. Sheng Yixiu was actually going to jail.
Sheng Yixiu had just returned from a business trip. He was arrested by the police before he could even sit down in the office.
It turned out that he had bought some local specialties when he was on a business trip and brought them back, but he did not bring them back to eat them himself. Instead, he sold them on the black market, becoming a "speculator" criminal and was arrested by the police.
In 1977, speculation and profiteering were severely cracked down. Sheng Yixiu bought scarce materials from another place, transported them over long distances, and sold them in Yandu. This was consistent with the crime of "speculation and profiteering" and the punishment would be very severe.
Long-term imprisonment, or even the death penalty, is a possibility.
Shi also had a headache. Although she had known that her uncle was a jerk and was obsessed with taking advantage of others, she had never expected that he would actually do such a thing. It would have been better if it had happened two years later, when the economy would have taken off and there would have been no "speculation and profiteering".
"It's speculation and profiteering. Oh, my uncle will definitely go to jail." Xia Yun touched the dining table for some reason. Her voice was full of pity, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. Shi also looked back at her, walked forward, pulled her arm, pushed her aside, and said coldly: "It's not your turn to gloat over my uncle's misfortune. Besides, stay away from him."
After saying this, Xiao Yue stood up from the table consciously, walked to Shiye's side, and looked at Wan Binbin: "Which police station was the person taken to? Secretary Wan, please take me there."
Xiao Fengnian looked unhappy: "You go back to the northwest, I'll go there."
Shi also pursed his lips, took Xiao Yue's hand and said, "You go back first, I will come back after I deal with my uncle's matter."
Xiao Yue held her hand and said calmly, "Your uncle is my uncle. I will stay and deal with it."
The legal system was not yet perfect in the 1970s, and the Criminal Law was not promulgated until 1979. The policy of conviction for speculation and profiteering is not without means of easing. There is no bail system now, but the measure of bail pending trial is adopted.
The so-called bail pending trial is a non-custodial compulsory measure. The final result may be a sentence of probationary detention, not execution. If Xiao Yue comes forward, the sentence is likely to be reduced and the person will not be detained for too long.
Xiao Yue insisted on coming forward, and Shi didn't say anything else. Seeing this, Wan Binbin's eyes almost popped out.
He looked at Shiye, then at Xiao Yue. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, he recognized him at a glance. He was the son of Chief of Staff Xiao Shen. However, things have been going on in the compound recently... Wan Binbin didn't dare to look at him again and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two followed Wan Binbin and drove directly out of the compound and headed to the Public Security Bureau.
On the way, Shi also asked some more details, and it was confirmed that Sheng Yixiu was "engaged in speculation and profiteering".
However, she was very puzzled. The black market is generally more secretive. Just like when she was selling ginseng in the black market in the northwest, she was not targeted. How could Sheng Yixiu be caught by the police so easily?
It’s not that he did something “bad” and she covered it up for him, it’s just that Sheng Yixiu is smart and he must have been to the black market a lot in the past. Otherwise, how would he have earned the money to buy so many things for her if he had nothing to do all day?
Sheng Yixiu was fine in his previous life, but was arrested in this life. Could it be that he was hunted geese all day and finally got his eyes pecked by geese?
She could only know these things when she met Sheng Yixiu. However, it was difficult to change what had been confirmed. Even if Xiao Yue stepped in and reduced the sentence, he would still be sentenced to jail. She could only comfort him by saying, "You will be a brave man again in three years."
Yandu Public Security Bureau, what a coincidence, this is the public security bureau where Zhao Huai is detained and Tian Shaoqing's family is under surveillance.
With Wan Binbin leading the way and Xiao Yue negotiating, Shi soon met Sheng Yixiu. Seeing him, she frowned: "What's going on? Fighting again? You fought in the black market? Sheng Yixiu, did a dog chew your brain?"
The question has been answered. No wonder this guy was arrested by the police. He didn't even sneak around in the black market and even dared to fight!
Sheng Yixiu stared at Shi Ye who had a sullen and angry face, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked a little funny.
"Xiao, Xiaoye? When did you come back?! You looked thinner after these few months away? Did you not eat well in the northwest? I have a lot of..." His originally excited tone immediately dropped a little, and he whispered: "I have a lot of delicious food, specially reserved for you, waiting for you to come back and eat. You know where the key to my house is, go get it later!"
He had a bruised face but was grinning from ear to ear, not showing any fear that he was going to jail.
Shi also looked at him, her heart softened. She had always known what kind of person Sheng Yixiu was, but no matter how he treated others or how he was seen by others, to her, he was a good uncle, an uncle who, although incompetent, still wanted to give her the best, her only uncle. For a moment, she could not say anything to blame him.
Shiya frowned and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened? Did you run into someone in the black market?"
Sheng Yixiu had a hot temper and would not fight unless he had a dispute with someone. However, he knew very well what the black market was like and that causing trouble would definitely lead to his own destruction, so he must have run into some "acquaintance" and was provoked.
As an accountant in a naval compound, who would he offend? Who could he offend?
