Noon.
The owner of the Chess and Cards Room and Wang Mingming's family brought the money to Dong Xuebing. They had no choice but to pay. Dong Xuebing knew he should not interfere with the Station's internal affairs. He did not take a single cent of the money and gave it to Liu Dahai. "Old Liu, investigate the victims who reported that they were beaten up in the Chess and Cards Room. Give them a portion of the money. Also, Wang Mingming's dog had bitten Qing Zi's family."
Liu Dahai swallowed his saliva. "Chief Dong, I think 500 RMB should be enough for Qing Zi's family. Should we … …"
Dong Xuebing frowned and looked at him.
Liu Dahai smiled. "It's our officers' bonuses. This money … …"
Dong Xuebing looked at him in his eyes. "I had promised everyone that we will get the money and bonuses. There are still a few criminals who are not arrested. Now, we have to take care of the interests of the people first. We can't always think about ourselves. Old Liu, I'll say this first. If anyone dares to have any ideas about this fine and dares to deduct it from it, I'll be the first to not forgive them. Not to mention this time's bonus, I'll make sure they don't even get their wages! "
Liu Dahai did not say anything else. "Fine. I will supervise them personally."
Knock, knock, knock. Chu Feng knocked on the door and entered. "Chief Dong, Chief Liu. We had arrested Sun Dazhou, who had stolen from the villagers' corn fields."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Old Liu, did you see that? The fines are here again."
Liu Dahai laughed. "Sun Dazhou is very unreasonable. It's hard to get his money back."
"Can he be more tyrannical than the law? Let's go and see! "
When Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing entered the interrogation room, the dark-skinned Sun Dazhou was banging on the table and staring at the officers. "Why are you arresting me? Ah? What did I do? Call your Station Chief over! I want to speak to him! " Sun Dazhou saw Liu Dahai and Dong Xuebing entering the interrogation room. His eyes opened wide. "Chief Liu, why are you not arresting those criminals?! Why are you arresting me? Ah? What did I do to offend you? "
The officer in the interrogation room replied with a straight face. "You destroyed the Zhuang family's house and stole the corn fields … …"
"Bullshit!" Sun Dazhou points at that officer. "I will sue you for slander! I dare you to say it again! "
Dong Xuebing is furious. How dare you be so arrogant in my territory? He stepped forward and kicked Sun Dazhou's stomach, sending him flying into the wall. "Behave yourself!"
Sun Dazhou clutched his stomach and screamed in pain. "You all still dare to hit me?"
Liu Dahai shouted. "This is Chief Dong! Show some respect!"
Sun Dazhou shouted angrily: "What's wrong with the Chief? Just because you are the director, you can beat people up as you please? Huh? "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "Sun Dazhou, do you know where you are? Do you think you'll be fine just because you have connections in the bureau? Nonsense! Breaking the law! Not even the Heavenly King can save you! Did you step on the cornfield of the Lu family in the neighboring village? After that, did he steal more than a dozen corn cobs from his blind date? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Now that the evidence is conclusive, according to the regulations, you will be fined twenty thousand yuan! Give it to me within an hour! "
Sun Dazhou said, "Twenty thousand? The Public Security Bureau is robbing us! I did not steal it! Nothing was stolen! Why should I pay the fine? Huh? "
"Fine. It's fine if you don't want to pay." Dong Xuebing turned to that officer and said: "Inform Sun Dazhou's unit and tell their leaders about his theft. Let's see if they still dare to hire someone like him. Also, make a few leaflets about Sun Dazhou stealing corn. Paste them all over their unit and their village. Latrines, telephone poles, public notice boards. Paste these leaflets on any place that can be found! Get it done now! "
The officer took a deep breath and thought to himself. Chief Dong is too ruthless.
Sun Dazhou panicked. He is also someone who cares about his reputation. Even if he doesn't care about his reputation, his family members will. "What are you all doing?!"
Dong Xuebing looked at him coldly. "Sun Dazhou, this is a law-abiding society. Don't think no one can punish you just because you have connections! You dare to be so arrogant after breaking the law? Fine! I want to see who is more powerful, you or the Public Security Bureau! Chu Feng! Bring Sun Dazhou to the most conspicuous spot at the entrance of their village and cuff him! After that, paste these flyers! Let the whole village know the consequences of breaking the law! "
"Yes, Sir!" Chu Feng took out his handcuffs and walked over.
Although this move was not very in line with the rules, it was indeed too disgusting. It was similar to the "criticism meeting" many years ago, where all the villagers were watching anxiously. No matter how much face they had, they could not afford to lose this person. Sun Dazhou shouted. "I know your County Bureau's Finance Department's Deputy Section Chief Wang!"
Liu Dahai shook his head and thought to himself. Chief Dong had arrested you because you know someone from the Finance Department!
"Section Chief Wang?" Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Deputy Section Chief Wang, who is in charge of the Finance Department. "Hello, Section Chief Wang? I had just arrested a criminal. His name is Sun Dazhou. Haha … he said he knows you. Is this true?"
Deputy Section Chief Wang had received news of Sun Dazhou's arrest and knew Deputy Section Chief Liu's relative was also arrested by Chief Dong. Dong Xuebing did not even give Deputy Section Chief Liu any face. Although Deputy Section Chief Wang is furious, he did not call Chief Dong or Station Chief Liu. He knows they will not give him face. But before he called, Chief Dong called. Deputy Section Chief Wang replied. "Oh, he is the son of an old friend of mine. Chief Dong, he was drunk during the cornfield incident. You should also know about alcohol."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Section Chief Wang, I must reprimand you. As the government's leaders, we must set an example and not let our friends and family do whatever they want. This is not helping them but harming them. Don't you think so?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "Chief Wang, I must reprimand you.
Deputy Section Chief Wang was furious and did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing continued. "Section Chief Wang, your computer had just broken down, and you still have a lot of work to do. I know you are busy, and I will not waste your time. Let me handle Sun Dazhou's case. That's all. You carry on with your work. The Finance Department is more important."
Sun Dazhou immediately understood what Dong Xuebing meant and lowered his courage.
Dong Xuebing looked at Sun Dazhou. "Tell me. Who else do you know?"
Sun Dazhou could tell Dong Xuebing was determined to arrest him. "I … I … I will pay the fine."
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. It's better if they did this earlier.
After a while, Zheng Xiaozhong, who was involved in the fight, was brought to the interrogation room. Zheng Xiaozhong knew there was no turning back, or someone from the higher-ups had called him. Before Dong Xuebing even interrogated him, he confessed everything. He promised his family would send the 20,000 RMB fine to Dong Xuebing as soon as possible.
News of Chief Dong arresting a few well-connected local bullies and fined them a large sum of money spread in the village. The villagers who were bullied by these bullies in the past also received compensation. This was shocking news, and no one can understand why the Station, which had been ignoring these bullies all this while, would punish them so harshly. Many villagers heard about this and cheered. Some of the victims' family members even bought gifts to visit Chief Dong's relatives at Luan Xiaoping's house. Da Qingzi's family, who was bitten by a dog, even went to look for Luan Xiaoping to express their gratitude.
4.30 Pm.
It was less than 7 hours since Dong Xuebing issued the mission, and all the targets were achieved. The station had collected a total of 91,000 RMB from gambling fees and fines. After deducting the victims' medical fees and psychological damages, Hui Tian Village Station had collected a total of over 60,000 RMB. This amount might not be a lot to other provincial police stations, but to a poor village like Yan Tai Village, this was a huge amount!
Liu Dahai and Instructor Li Sanmiao were jealous of this amount of money. Almost 100,000 RMB per day. How much money would they get if they carried on like this for a month? It should be enough to equip the station with a few more cars!
Dong Xuebing immediately asked Liu Dahai to gather everyone for a meeting.
"Comrades, I have witnessed the power of our Hui Tian Village Station today. Thank you all for your hard work." Dong Xuebing continued. "I know all of you do not want to hear a long speech, and I will cut to the chase. Now, it's time to give out your bonuses. Those whose names are called, come up and collect your money!"
Liu Dahai, Deputy Station Chief Chen Fa, and the rest had prepared envelopes.
"Da Leng!" Liu Dahai called out to the Assistant Officer who had contributed the most to the station.
Da Leng got excited and walked over excitedly to receive the envelope. He turned around and opened the envelope. Both he and his brother were simple peasants, not scheming, and did whatever came to their minds. But when Da Leng saw the thick stack of money in the envelope, he was stunned. He turned to Dong Xuebing and asked. "Why is there so much money?"
Liu Dahai laughed. "This is Chief Dong's reward for everyone's performance today."
Dong Xuebing shouted. "I had never been a frontline officer before, but I know all of you had worked hard. I had discussed with Station Chief Liu and Instructor Li about this bonus. On top of your 2 months' bonus, everyone will get an extra 1,000 RMB. This is what you all deserve!"
Extra 1,000 RMB???
The rest of the officers were excited. Many of them did not even get 1,000 RMB for their 2 months' bonus! This amount of money is not a small amount to them, especially for Da Leng and Er Leng, who are from poor families. This is a life-saving amount!
Da Leng's eyes turned red. He finally got his sister's allowance. "Thank you, Chief Dong!"
Clap … clap … clap … everyone clapped excitedly. "Thank you, Chief Dong! Thank you, Station Chief Liu! Thank you, Instructor Li! "
That night, many people with connections to Dong Xuebing gave up and stayed at home. They do not know if they will be the next victim. It's no wonder they are worried. Chief Dong had led the officers to arrest people and fine them in the morning. His ruthless behavior made many people feel like the wolf is coming!
