Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 194 Speculation 2

The village chief followed behind, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard him directly hinting that Lin Qingyan was speculating.

"Captain, please be careful with your words. You said before that someone reported that someone in the village was engaged in speculation, but you didn't say it was Lin Zhiqing.

How can you now say that Lin Zhiqing is speculating? Besides, we didn’t find any prohibited goods or large amounts of supplies from Lin Zhiqing just now.”

The village chief directly and rudely reprimanded Li Genshu, but Li Genshu seemed determined to teach someone a lesson today.

Li Genshu directly told the leader, "The materials that are being traded for speculation are sold by this company."

The leading man said to Hu Zi's mother:

"The county is strictly against speculation. Are you illegally reselling substances?"

Hu Zi's mother looked at the village chief, not knowing how to answer. The man in charge had come here early this morning, and he felt like he had been tricked. He was very angry.

He just said loudly, "I'm asking you a question. Why are you looking at others? Is he an accomplice?"

This was really rude, and it frightened Hu Zi's mother, but she still gritted her teeth and said:

"Lin Zhiqing did not engage in speculation."

When Hu Zi's mother said this, Lin Qingyan and Gu Yizhou had just arrived at his house and naturally heard her words. Lin Qingyan felt a little warm in her heart, at least the person she helped was worthy of her help.

She and Gu Yizhou did not move forward, but stood back and watched the situation develop.

"Whether Lin Qingyan is engaged in speculation or not is not up to you to decide. If we go to your house and check, we will know whether there are a large number of materials that should not be there."

This time, the captain brought his men into Hu Zi's house himself.

Hu Zi's mother thought of the money the family had just earned, and hurriedly tried to stop them, "You can't just come in, what right do you have to just come into my house?"

The village chief now walked to the front and had someone stop Li Genshu and said to him directly:

"Li Genshu, don't forget that you are the captain of Xishui Village. Don't forget what your responsibilities are."

Li Genshu seemed to be crazy at this moment. He didn't care about anything else. He had to find Lin Qingyan's flaws and use it to bring down the village chief who allowed his daughter to be close to Lin Qingyan. Only in this way could he completely control Xishui Village.

"I didn't forget that I am the leader of Xishui Village, so I personally brought people here to check. If there is nothing wrong, then it is of course my good management.

If there is, we can drive these bad guys out of Xishui Village, which will make the village safer." Li Genshu's crazy look made the village chief frown.

The village chief called a few people behind him,

"You guys go check and see if there's anything that shouldn't be in the village, and make sure they don't damage other people's things."

After the village chief finished speaking, he turned to the leading man and said with a smile:

"These are our ordinary villagers. They have been farmers for generations and have good backgrounds. I don't think the county would want you to just go into the homes of ordinary farmers and rummage through their boxes, right?

After all, we haven't caught anyone in the act of speculation, so we can't just point at something at someone's house and say they bought and sold it at will, right?"

The leading man cursed the old fox in his heart, and cursed Li Genshu's ancestors.

"This is natural."

Then he turned to the person behind him and said, "Go in and see if there are many objects in plain sight."

His men understood what he meant, so they led their men in with the people sent by the village chief.

Li Genshu was unwilling and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the village chief.

"Captain Li, just let them handle these things. It's not good for a captain like you to go to someone else's house to investigate."

The village chief smiled and spoke to him for the sake of appearance, but in fact, many thoughts had already come to his mind. At least, Li Genshu could not continue to be the team leader.

At this time, Gu Yizhou also secretly made up his mind that Li Genshu could no longer be the captain of Xishui Village.

Not only is Lin Qingyan here, but his uncle and teacher are also here, and he must ensure their safety.

It was already daybreak at this time. The noise here had awakened the entire village. More and more people gathered around. Some saw what Li Genshu did, while others thought he was right. The crowd was whispering, and soon they understood the whole story.

When the searchers came out, they took a few bamboo baskets and went to the leading man and said to him:

"Captain, the house is normal, except for a room with a lot of bamboos and bamboo baskets over here. It seems that their family is weaving bamboo baskets."

It seemed like Li Genshu had grasped something.

"They are reselling bamboo baskets. This is speculation. We can arrest Lin Qingyan and interrogate her to find out who is behind her and whether there are other people in the village who support her. How can she have the courage to buy things in the village?"

The leading man's eyes jumped when he saw the bamboo basket. Most of the speculators they caught were those who sold daily necessities and raised prices. It was obvious that these bamboo baskets were mostly used in rural areas and there were very few of them in the county town.

Moreover, this was not considered daily necessities; it was something woven by someone else using his own craft. He was now a little unsure whether he should follow Li Genshu's words and capture Lin Qingyan.

When Lin Qingyan heard her name, she walked in from behind the crowd, with Gu Yizhou beside her.

Lin Qingyan walked up to the captain and asked him:

"Captain Li, since I went to the countryside, I, Lin Qingyan, have never stolen anything from your family or dug up your ancestral graves, right? Do you have to be so unreasonable and force me to accuse me of a crime that I don't have?"

"Lin Qingyan, don't go too far?" Li Genshu was angry.

Lin Qingyan interrupted him before he could continue.

"I'm going too far? I'm a well-educated youth who went to the countryside to support rural construction, but your daughter snatched away the person that the family had expected to develop into a potential partner in the future.

I don't want that kind of garbage anyway, so just take it. I don't mind.

But recently your niece's wife accused me of being a vixen who seduced men. I just taught her a lesson, and you called the county patrol team to report me for profiteering?

What? Do you think the county patrol is your personal revenge tool? Are they your subordinates? Do what you tell them to do? "

Lin Qingyan's series of questions made the captain very angry. He didn't expect that this weak female educated youth could be so sharp-tongued now.

However, the person leading the patrol team narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Genshu.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that you were speculating and profiteering. You ordered bamboo baskets and other things from Hu Zi's family. This is a fact and many people know it."

Li Genshu felt something was wrong and hurried to explain.

"I ordered bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets from General Hu. Can't I just buy these for my own use?"

When Li Genshu heard her admitting to ordering the bamboo baskets, he hurriedly said, "See, she herself admitted to ordering the bamboo baskets."

Hu Zi's mother was also very anxious. What happened to Lin Zhiqing today? How could he admit it?

Lin Qingyan looked at the village chief with a smile.
