1333: Chapter 650: Push-Up Style Education 1333: Chapter 650: Push-Up Style Education Xu Changsheng rode the motorcycle back to the police station, where the first arrivals had already locked people up in a room.
Seeing him return, they gathered around.
He parked the motorcycle, casually pulled out the keys, and tossed them to Dang Wenzheng, “Wenzheng, here are the keys…
Riding a motorcycle in winter really isn’t pleasant!”
Dang Wenzheng took the keys, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I was in such a hurry earlier that I forgot my gloves were in my pocket.
I only rembered after I left, forgetting to leave them for you!”
“No worries, no worries,” Xu Changsheng said with a smile.
Though he claid it was nothing, he stamped his feet and rubbed his hands together, never stopping these actions as he spoke.
“Everyone’s been brought back, so let’s get started.
As for the onlookers here just for the spectacle, we’ll just educate them and have them hurry ho.
Dragging them to the station will probably make them think twice about showing up next ti…”
“One of them is Boss Yan, who ca as a witness,” Xiang Changqing said, “Let’s have him co over first and tell us the details.”
“Good, you start with him.
And the rest of you, don’t just stand there, get them all out for questioning too, let’s not waste ti,” Xu Changsheng arranged without a second thought.
When Da Gui ca over and gave a full account of the situation, the group ca together to discuss it and the work went even faster.
It really wasn’t much of an incident.
Just Old Baldy, who was blinded by greed, believed the persuasion—or rather, the temptation—of a so-called nephew who was in reality a distant relative barely connected to him.
He then dragged a few people over for a gambling ga.
Old Baldy was still adamant in his innocence, “I had no idea the kid wanted to go so big.
He just said he wanted so spending money for the New Year.
Later, when Da Gui brought his savings book, I advised against it, you can ask him…”
So, people at the station went to ask Da Gui again.
Da Gui was quite upset, raising his voice loudly, “He and his partner scamd .
Who knows if he was genuinely advising or just trying to egg on to bet more!”
Old Baldy heard it all from the next room and shouted back, equally loud, “Da Gui, we’ve been neighbors for so many years, have I ever scamd you?”
Da Gui retorted just as loudly, “You cheated out of twenty bricks when you built that drain in front of your door!”
Old Baldy refused to admit defeat, “But the water from your house also flows through my front door.
If it were only my house’s water, I wouldn’t need to build a drain…”
The interrogating Dang Wenzheng slamd his hand on the table, “Stop arguing, focus on the issue at hand.
Do you even want to go ho for the New Year?”
This finally stopped the two from yelling at each other through the wall.
Leaving Da Gui out of it, there were five people at the scene gambling, including Old Baldy and his so-called nephew.
Two genuinely ca to watch, while two couldn’t resist the temptation and bet on the side.
The ga was Landlord, and those two would place their money in front of one of the three players.
If that person won the hand, they would get a cut.
You can imagine, these two didn’t dare join the gambling themselves, and the bets they placed were also small, just one, two, three, or five yuan each to join in the excitent.
But now that they were caught, this was also considered participating in gambling.
The two spectators proved their innocence and instantly felt it had nothing to do with them.
One nonchalantly requested, “Can we go ho now then?”
The other, slightly proud, added, “When they were betting big, I even tried to dissuade them.
I should get so credit for that, right?”
A temporary worker, unimpressed by their attitude, said, “You were aware but didn’t report.
The officer in charge just ntioned you need so education.
Why don’t you do push-ups in the yard?
Once you’ve done five hundred, you can go ho.”
The two tried to bargain but Xiang Changqing’s face turned stern, “If you’re told to do it, do it.
Any more back talk, and it will be a thousand!”
That’s what they get, being honest about their mistake wasn’t enough, they even felt they had reason for their actions.
They deserved to go squat in the yard doing push-ups.
The two bettors cried foul, “We were just joining the excitent.
They were betting several yuan each, and we only bet a few yuan…”
One officer, who knew more about the law, inford them, “Once involved, it counts as gambling.
You will at least have to write a pledge that you won’t gamble ever again.”
Old Baldy felt even more wronged, “Landlord is a ga for three people.
Can those two betting on the ga be counted as gambling?”
The legally knowledgeable officer educated him as well, “You shouldn’t have let them place bets.
If they hadn’t and it was just three people gambling, it would be different.
But with their bets, it beca more than three.
Organizing a ga of more than three players is different than a ga of exactly three.
And regarding your nephew, there’s also the matter of fraud.
The kid doesn’t have a proper job, and we’ve already called over to Hongshan Town.
He’s a hardened gambler that can’t seem to change his ways…”
Old Baldy’s face turned pale as he listened, nearly on the verge of tears, “Comrade, I was really led astray by him…”
“That’s not an excuse,” Xiang Changqing cut in.
“You provided a place for gambling, right?
Anyway, you’re in trouble this ti.
Just wait and see what the officer in charge decides!”
Really, this was just as Officer Xu had instructed— to scare them a bit.
If you talk about education—giving them a lecture is not as effective as making them do push-ups in the yard.
If you were to punish them by the law, the case is too minor; it wouldn’t teach them a real lesson.
Although they were from the town, they were actually farrs with land and didn’t have much money.
They weren’t habitual gamblers; they just wanted to have so fun.
But as they played, they got carried away and raised the stakes—not by much because the intervention was quick.
Including last night’s tally, the total gambling funds were just a few thousand yuan.
