Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Late at night.

There were constant shouting in the west courtyard, and a group of women were drinking until their faces were red and they were very coquettish. Even the usually steady Qin Huairu drank a whole bottle of red wine.

At this moment.

There was a hurried knock at the door.

Qin Jingru was about to start scolding, but she heard Yi Zhonghai shouting at the door.

"Lin Shaowen, help, come out quickly..."

"Help?"

Lin Shaowen's eyes condensed, and he rushed out immediately.

Seeing this, the others also put down their glasses and followed him.

"What's going on?"

When Lin Shaowen opened the door, the oncoming smell of alcohol made Yi Zhonghai and others slightly stunned.

"Old Lin, why are you still drinking at home?" Sha Zhu said jealously, "You don't even call me buddy when you drink, don't you consider me a friend?"

"Don't look at me, Jingru got promoted today, and she's calling her sisters to drink." Lin Shaowen spread his hands and said, "I'm just a guest at best..."

"Don't talk so much, hurry up and save people." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

"Who's in trouble?" Lin Shaowen said seriously.

"Yi Xiaolong...he was arrested."

Yi Zhonghai grabbed his hand and rushed out.

"Wait a minute." After Lin Shaowen broke free from his hand, he frowned and said, "I thought someone was sick, but this guy was arrested, what's the point of you looking for me? I'm not from the joint defense office..."

"You have a good relationship with Captain Xing, go and help say a few good words." A aunt also said anxiously.

"Auntie, are you sick?" Lin Shaowen sighed, "No matter how good my relationship with Captain Xing is, can it be better than the law? Do you think the joint defense office is Captain Xing's family? Next time someone kills or sets fires, can we just say hello and get them out?"

When he said this, everyone was slightly stunned.

Yes, Captain Xing can't just let people go after arresting them, right?

If someone investigates, will he still want to be the captain?

"What should I do?" Auntie covered her face and cried.

"No, tell me what happened first..." Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"It's all because of that damn Xu Damao." Yi Zhonghai said with a sullen face, "Xiaolong is such a kind child, but he was led astray by Xu Damao when he came to the yard..."

"Let's talk about business." Lin Shaowen said impatiently.

"They...they went to the secret door." Yi Zhonghai said embarrassedly.

"Wow."

The yard was in an uproar.

"I thought people in the city were so high and mighty, but it turns out they are worse than us country people." Yan Hua laughed,

"That's right." Yan's mother also sneered, "When city people do bad things, they are worse than us country people... They actually went to the secret door, and they will go to jail if they are caught."

"Mom, stop talking."

Yan Fengyu looked at Yi Zhonghai who seemed to want to eat people, and stretched out her hand to pull Yan's mother's sleeve.

"What are you doing? You dare to do it but dare not let people say it?" Yan's mother sneered.

"Of course you can say it, but have you found a problem..." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"What's the problem?" Yan's mother frowned.

"Where is your son?"

Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and smoked it.

"My son went out to find a job, which is different from Xu Damao and others." Yan Hua said righteously.

"Are you really stupid? How can you go out to find a job in the middle of the night?" Liu Guangfu muttered.

"Why not?" Yan's mother said unhappily, "Doesn't the train station unload goods in the middle of the night? And those porters... who doesn't work at night?"

"Porters are all regular employees. How can your kid compete with the young people in the city for work?" Lin Shaowen chuckled.

Yan Hua and Yan's mother were slightly stunned, and then they had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

At this time, Captain Xing and Director Wang came.

"Captain Xing, my son..."

"Don't talk first."

Captain Xing glared at Yi Zhonghai, then looked at Lin Shaowen, "Old Lin, come here, I want to talk to you..."

"Okay."

Lin Shaowen walked over.

"Xu Damao, Yi Xiaolong and Yan Long from your hospital have all been arrested. What is your attitude?" Director Wang said softly.

"You have to ask Captain Xing about this matter. What's the point of asking me?" Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

"Captain Xing came to me today and said that it would be better to fine them than to let the three of them go to jail." Director Wang said helplessly, "Life is hard now, and the money of the street office has run out, but there are still many poor households who can't even get a thick quilt..."

"It has come to this now?" Lin Shaowen said in shock.

He has known Director Wang and Captain Xing for almost ten years, and he naturally knows what kind of character these two people have. Now that the two have been forced to come out to "generate income" on their own, it seems that the situation is indeed very serious.

"Who said it's not?" Captain Xing also sighedHe sighed, "We don't even have charcoal on duty at night... Almost everyone is sick."

Lin Shaowen was silent for a while before he said, "Don't show up for this matter, I'll do it... Otherwise, if it gets out, it will have a bad impact on you."

"How can I let you do it?" Captain Xing was immediately anxious, "We submitted a report and the higher-ups asked us to handle it at our discretion..."

"The key is to handle it at our discretion." Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly, "It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens... the higher-ups don't agree with you to do whatever you want."

"What if it gets you involved?" Director Wang said anxiously.

"We're not from the same unit, at most our leaders will scold me a few words... What else can we do? Arrest me?"

Lin Shaowen laughed and walked towards Yi Zhonghai.

"Lin Shaowen, what's wrong?"

"Wait a minute." Lin Shaowen looked at Yan Hua with a half-smile and said, "Congratulations, your son has moved the goods to the secret door... He is now in the joint defense office."

"Ah?"

Yan's mother almost fainted because she was unsteady on her feet.

Fortunately, Yan Fengyu quickly supported her and prevented her from falling.

"Lin Shaowen, don't keep us in suspense, what should we do now?" An old lady wiped her tears and said.

"We are all neighbors, and I don't want to see this young man go astray." Lin Shaowen sighed and said, "So... each of you donate 1,000 yuan to the street office, and then the three of them will sign a letter of repentance, and we won't notify the unit."

"One thousand?"

Now it was Yan Hua's turn to faint.

He had never seen a thousand yuan in his life.

"Lin Shaowen, this thousand is too much." Yi Zhonghai said in embarrassment.

"You bargained with the Joint Defense Office?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise, "Okay, I'll go home and sleep... You figure it out yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave, but was pulled by Yi Zhonghai.

"I'll pay, I'll pay... Isn't it okay for me to pay this thousand yuan?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were red. First it was Jia Dongxu, then Sha Zhu, and now there's Yi Xiaolong. The coffins he had been saving for so long were already running out.

"Lin Shaowen, my Yan Long..."

"Don't tell me you don't have money."

Lin Shaowen stopped Yan's mother, "It stands to reason that this is illegal and cannot be compromised, but donating money to the street office is also a gesture of kindness. You can do it yourself."

Yan Hua and Yan's mother looked at each other and burst into tears.
