Tan Yang saw Li Rui at first glance and was very happy. He quickly stepped forward to shake hands with him and said with a smile, "Brother, you came really fast. I was just about to call you to ask when you would arrive." Li Rui stretched out his hands to him and acted like he was flattered. He said, "I also just arrived. Brother, you came really fast. Sorry for the trouble." Tan Yang shook his head and said, "Hey, we are all good brothers. Why are you saying such things? If you continue, I will not be happy. Haha, come, let me introduce you. This is the director of the Yong Yang Town Police Station, Hu Xiaokang. He is my old subordinate and one of us. Haha. "
Li Rui stretched out his hands to Hu Xiaokang and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Director Hu."
Tan Yang then introduced him to Hu Xiaokang, "This is the director of the First Department of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office Secretary, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Song Shuji, Li Rui! Good fellow, he is a big shot in our city. It is rare for ordinary people to meet him. Old Hu, it is a great blessing for you to meet him today. " His words were full of praise for Li Rui. Of course, it was not flattery. It was just an honest description. Li Rui did have such a status.
This time, it was Hu Xiaokang's turn to stretch out his hands to Li Rui. He acted very respectfully and said with a smile, "Director Li, I have long heard of you. I heard that your hometown is Yong Yang Town Yong Yang Village. Tsk tsk … I am very sorry that I did not get to know you. You are so young and already in such a high position. Your future is limitless. Please take care of me. "
In the officialdom, there was a saying that "people lift people up". The conversation between the three people in front of him also demonstrated this point. They were all praising and flattering each other. They were very sincere on the surface.
Li Rui said humbly, "Director Hu, you are too polite. I like what Brother Tan said. We are one of us. Haha, we are one of us. There is no need to say 'you, you, you.' In terms of age, both of you are my elder brothers, and I am your younger brother. In terms of friendship, your younger brother has asked for your help today. Since we have a relationship, we will be brothers and friends in the future. Naturally, we should take care of each other. This goes without saying. "
It was no wonder that he could be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. His ability to deal with people was really high. If it were someone else who had such a high status at such a young age, they would definitely not care about ordinary people. It was already giving him a lot of face to talk to him, but he could treat him like a friend and give him so much face in front of his superior. Tsk tsk … His ability to deal with people was really good. He wanted to make friends with him, so he smiled and said, "Well, if you say so, then I will be thick-skinned and call you Brother Li. The director has already told me about your cousin's matter. Actually, brother, you don't have to trouble our director. You can just come to me directly. As your elder brother, I will do it for you. Come, let's go upstairs. I will do it for you. "
Li Rui laughed secretly. His words were beautiful, but if he really didn't ask Tan Yang to come over, how would he know who he was? Would he recognize me as his number one? Therefore, his words should not be taken seriously. It was just a laugh. Whoever took it seriously was a fool. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it all to you, Brother Hu. But I want to see my cousin and the others first."
Hu Xiaokang naturally wouldn't refuse. He took him and Tan Yang upstairs and found the office of the security squadron. He ordered the bald policeman to take Li Rui to see Li Fugui first.
The bald policeman was the vice captain of the security squadron. When he saw that Li Rui could order the director and director around, he was shocked and scared. He carefully recalled his conversation with him just now. After confirming that he didn't offend him in any way, he carefully took him to the detention room in the backyard to see Li Fugui. On the way, he kept apologizing to him, hoping that he wouldn't stoop to his level.
As for Hu Xiaokang, he didn't have anything else to do for the time being. He invited Tan Yang to his office to drink some water. At the same time, they discussed how to solve this case. After all, it involved the excavated gold and silver treasures. It was related to the cultural relics department. It would be very complicated if it blew up.
After Li Fugui and the others were arrested and brought to the police station, they were separated into a few groups and locked up separately. There were three to four people in each detention room. Since the evidence was conclusive, there was no need to worry about them colluding.
Li Rui soon saw Li Fugui. Li Fugui was locked up with his father, Li Jianzhong, and brother, Li Fushuan. The three of them had just been locked up for a few hours, but when Li Rui saw them, he felt that each of them seemed to have aged ten years. Not only were they in a sorry state, but they were also dispirited. They were also in low spirits. Each of them had their heads drooped, as if they were criminals who were about to be sentenced to death.
When the three of them saw Li Rui suddenly arrive, they were all very surprised.
Li Fugui said in surprise, "Xiao Rui, you're here to save us, right?" Li Fushuan exclaimed, "Hey, Xiao Rui, how did you know that we were arrested and brought here?" Li Fugui scolded, "Idiot, it must be the family who told Xiao Rui. Do you still need to ask?" Li Fushuan said excitedly, "Xiao Rui, since you're here, hurry up and get us out of here. This really isn't a place for humans to stay. We can't even drink a sip of water …"
Li Ruixin said, "If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place." He turned around to look at the bald policeman. Seeing that he was just looking on as if nothing had happened, Li Ruixin said, "Comrade, I'd like to have a few words with them in private. I'm not sure if it's convenient for you …"
The policeman understood and smiled, "Of course, of course. You guys go ahead. I'll wait outside." After he finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Li Rui walked in front of the three of them. He first greeted Li Jianzhong as Uncle, then said to Li Fugui in a serious tone, "Big Brother, if you guys want to get out of here, you have to listen to me."
Li Fugui and Li Fushuan nodded in unison. Their faces were full of urgency.
Li Rui said, "Alright, then I'll make a decision. The gold ingots that you guys hid will be divided into two portions. One portion will be handed over to the police station and the District Cultural Relics Branch. The other portion will be divided into smaller portions and used as gifts. This time, I came all the way from the city to save you. I asked a lot of friends for help. I even asked the Chief of the District Public Security Branch to help. These are all favors. You have to thank them. You can't let them come for nothing. In addition, the leaders of the police station also have to be sent away. Otherwise, you guys won't have a good life in the future. They'll send people to target you every day. Do you understand? "
Li Fugui's expression changed when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Li Fushuan had already shouted, "What? You mean, you want us to hand over all the treasures that we hid and leave nothing for ourselves? "Li Rui looked at him impatiently and said," What, do you have a different opinion, little brother? "Li Fushuan said angrily," Of course I have a different opinion! Why should we hand it all over? Even if not all of the treasures that were dug out from our old house belong to our Li family, at least half of it should. Why should we hand it all over? "
Li Fugui said unwillingly, "That's right, Xiao Rui. No matter what, we can't hand it all over. We can't work for nothing. We'll be worried and scared. Can't we hand over half of it? Can't the friends that you asked each get a smaller share of the benefits? If not for this matter, they wouldn't have gotten a single cent. "
Li Rui looked at him with an unhappy expression and said, "You just agreed to listen to me. Why are you changing your mind now? You have your own ideas, right? Alright, I won't interfere in this matter. You decide on your own. I'll see if you can handle those people in the police station. "
Li Fugui heard this and quickly said with a smile, "Aiya Xiao Rui, I don't mean anything else. I just feel bad …"
Li Rui said coldly, "You're not feeling bad. You're being greedy! If you weren't so greedy, you would've listened to me and given the benefits to the police station. Would you have ended up like this? "
Li Fugui was about the same age as Li Jianmin. Now that he was being lectured by Li Rui in front of everyone, he couldn't bring himself to do it. However, he had no choice but to ask for help. He could only say awkwardly, "Speaking of which, the country's laws are too f * cked up. The treasures that I dug out from under my house should belong to me. Why should I hand it over to the country? The country is being unreasonable …"
Li Fushuan chimed in, "That's right. They're being unreasonable."
Li Rui didn't even look at him. He earnestly advised Li Fugui, "You said that you'll only hand over half of it. That's right. For the time being, you can handle those people in the police station. But what about after that? You have the other half of the treasures at home. It's impossible that you won't spend it, right? As long as you spend it, you'll reveal your wealth. Once you do, you'll be targeted immediately. Do you believe me? When the time comes, the people in the police station will be jealous and target you. You won't be able to run away. Don't be so short-sighted. I'm thinking for the long term. "
Li Fushuan said, "Xiao Rui, what you said is wrong. How can we reveal our wealth? Can't we just spend it secretly? "
Li Rui gave him a cold glance and said, "Secretly spend it? How can we secretly spend it? There's no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. As long as you use those treasures, people will definitely know. "
He had something else he didn't say. "Just based on your greedy nature and vanity, once you have the treasures in your hands, you'll definitely exchange them for cash to buy cars, houses, and appliances. You can't wait to let everyone in Yanyang Village know that the Li brothers are rich! Isn't that the same as courting death? "
At this moment, Li Jianzhong interrupted, "Forget it. Let's listen to Xiao Rui. I've long known that the treasures we dug out aren't a blessing. They're a disaster! It was a disaster from the beginning. Now, it's a big disaster. The three of us have been arrested. Sigh, hurry up and hand over those scourges. Let's hurry back home and live our lives. "
Li Fugui felt that Li Rui's words made sense. After hearing his father's words, he immediately lost his temper. He said listlessly, "Alright, then we'll listen to Xiao Rui and hand them all over. Don't leave a single one behind."
