Chapter 892: A serial big swindler: Sheng Sheng Shi Cai

When Guo Tiebing brought people to take the swindler away, he was still a bit confused.

How could this be, how could he not be deceived, and even send himself to the public security?

"You can't arrest me, I am a returned overseas Chinese, I have a US passport, I have diplomatic immunity!" The swindler shouted loudly while struggling.

Eh? Is he really an overseas Chinese?

"Then please take out your passport." Guo Tiebing was also a bit cautious. In these years, the hat of a returned overseas Chinese was still very useful. From top to bottom, the well-known general policy was to encourage overseas Chinese to come to the mainland to invest. Some descendants of big landlords and big warlords who had fled before, including descendants of big traitors and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, had all returned openly.

This made Guo Tiebing a bit unsure, so he relaxed his control over the swindler and looked at Li Long.

If Li Long reported a false police case, it would be quite troublesome.

"Exactly, if you are really a returned overseas Chinese, then take out your passport." Li Long wasn't in a hurry at all. If he were really an overseas Chinese, could he run to this Great Northwest to swindle him?

He had seen many safety cases later, like the one surnamed Huang in Singapore, who didn't spend a cent but acquired hundreds of state-owned enterprises in China, taking a big advantage.

If this swindler really had an overseas Chinese status, there would be many ways to make money; would he still run to him to swindle this twenty thousand yuan?

Then his vision was too low.

Seeing Li Long so certain, Guo Tiebing relaxed a bit and told his colleagues not to be in a hurry.

"My passport is in the hotel, I didn't bring it out." The swindler wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Look, I have US dollars, this is proof..."

"US dollars? Haha, this really can't prove anything," Li Long pointed to the envelope and iron box on the table:

"Do you want to open your stack of US dollars and see?"

The swindler panicked immediately.

Guo Tiebing's colleague He Xinmin wasn't familiar with Li Long, so he said: "Let's go to the hotel to see the passport first... which hotel? The county reception center?"

"Hmm." The swindler was a bit at a loss, but at this time, he was dragging it out for a moment.

"Comrade Li Long, are you..." Guo Tiebing asked Li Long when he took the swindler out.

"I'll go with you," Li Long smiled, "I also want to see his true face."

Guo Tiebing and the others walked over. Fortunately, the distance to the county reception center wasn't very far, about five hundred meters. The swindler was carrying a bag, looking very aggrieved, but his eyeballs were rolling around.

On his left and right were Guo Tiebing and He Xinmin, which was both escorting and protecting.

"I'm telling you, this is a major insult to my personality, I want to report you to your superiors!" The swindler protested while walking, "I am a returned overseas Chinese, I shouldn't be treated like this..."

Li Long ignored him. He determined that this was a swindler. Still a returned overseas Chinese? Pfft!

Are you crazy? It's just like some swindlers in later generations who, after swindling too much, really substituted themselves into the set roles. Some military swindlers really thought they were generals, and even ran to the public security bureau to bail people out... sigh, stupid and bad.

When they arrived at the county reception center, the swindler stopped and said sternly to Guo Tiebing and He Xinmin:

"I'll give you one more chance. Let me go now, and I can let bygones be bygones, but if we really go inside, I won't have this attitude anymore! By then, I absolutely won't let this matter go!"

Actually, all the way here, he had been thinking about escaping, but the two public security officers were watching too closely, and he had no chance to escape at all.

Of course, it was also because this county was too small and the population was too small. If it were in a big city, with many people on the street, he could just drill into any small alley and maybe escape.

This street was very wide, and he couldn't see a few people, so there was nowhere to hide!

"Haha." Guo Tiebing had originally had a few doubts, but now hearing this, he knew this guy was bluffing and was definitely weak on the outside but strong on the inside. He determined that this was definitely a swindler!

"This comrade, I'm telling you, even if you are a real overseas Chinese, it is reasonable and legal for us to check your identity," Guo Tiebing said seriously, "So now please take us to your room and take out your documents. If you don't have them, then please come with us to the police station!"

This swindler didn't want to go in.

"In his room, there are probably some things he doesn't want you to see," Li Long analyzed, "Maybe he isn't swindling for the first time. You should be able to check his identity normally, right? Besides, as the plaintiff and whistleblower, I reported someone, so you should have the right to investigate, right?"

Without Li Long saying it, Guo Tiebing and the others also wanted to go into the reception center to take a look.

The swindler didn't report his room number, but that couldn't stump Guo Tiebing and the others. Going to the service desk and asking with their documents, they immediately found the room.

"What? A man and a woman? There is a woman in the room? The registration procedure is Wang Shuigen and Lin Yinhua from Shanghai? There is a marriage certificate?"

Looking at the service attendant reporting the registered names, Li Long was a bit confused. He looked at the swindler and asked:

"Aren't you surnamed Sheng, and are Sheng Sheng Shi Cai's grandson?"

Guo Tiebing and He Xinmin couldn't be more certain that this was a proper swindler.

"Search."

The two escorted Wang Shuigen to room 116.

Knocking on the door, a coquettish voice sounded from inside:

"Who is it? What are you doing?"

The door opened, and seeing the public security officers, that person's face turned white immediately.

Seeing this, Li Long basically understood.

Next, he didn't need to do anything. He Xinmin watched the two, and Guo Tiebing used the service desk phone to call the police station to apply for reinforcements—mainly because there were too many things in the room.

Li Long returned to the purchasing station. At this time, people in the purchasing station were still discussing. After all, the public security officers came in, took someone away, and Li Long also followed, so it was likely something happened.

The specific matter wasn't clear, so they could only guess.

At this time, seeing Li Long return, a middleman who considered himself familiar with Li Long asked loudly:

"Comrade Li Long, what was going on just now? What was that person doing?"

"A swindler," Li Long smiled, "Claimed to be an overseas Chinese, came over wanting to swindle my money."

"Yo, an overseas Chinese?" Someone said in surprise, "Real or fake?"

"Probably fake. Anyway, I don't believe it. But it still needs to be said after the public security side investigates."

Because there were always people selling things, Li Long was tidying up mushrooms in the backyard, so it wasn't easy to tell Gu Bo Yuan in detail.

After getting off work and sending away the last guest selling things, Li Long told Gu Bo Yuan and the others in detail.

"You said he took out US dollars and gold bars?" Gu Bo Yuan was also a bit surprised, "Real or fake?"

"I guess they are fake. He probably bullied us for having little knowledge and used fake ones to fool me," Li Long smiled and said, "But to tell you the truth, as long as we aren't greedy, we can't be swindled."

Gu Bo Yuan was a bit surprised, but thinking about it, it was normal. So many things hidden in the cave in the mountains, Li Long didn't keep them for himself but handed them over. With this little bit in front of him, even if it were real, could it fool Li Long?

Didn't fool Li Long, what if it were him?

Gu Bo Yuan thought for a while and said:

"If it were before, maybe if it were me, I would have been swindled. Changing to now, it wouldn't be able to swindle me."

That definitely wouldn't be able to swindle him. Just in these two months, Gu Bo Yuan's net income exceeded twenty thousand.

Don't say this time, even forty years later, that was a large sum of money!

Sun Jia Qiang didn't speak. He was also thinking, if it were him, could he resist this temptation?

However, he was still a bit confused and asked:

"Boss, why were you so sure he was fake in one go?"

"If he were a real overseas Chinese, could he find me? Just go to any big city in the interior, don't say the interior, just go to Wucheng, and the official people would receive him grandly," Li Long said with a smile, "He said he came to dig for treasure. If he really wanted to dig for treasure, could he just find a stranger to cooperate? Isn't it just bullying us country bumpkins for having little knowledge, thinking we are easy to swindle?"

That's the logic.

Li Long and Gu Bo Yuan returned to the big courtyard to eat, and Sun Jia Qiang also started cooking for himself. Li Long had thought about letting Sun Jia Qiang go to the big courtyard to eat together, but Sun Jia Qiang wouldn't go; he felt uncomfortable.

After all, it was someone else's family. Even Aunt Yang had lived in the big courtyard for almost two years, so what was he entering?

It was better to do whatever he wanted to eat here. The salary and bonus Li Long gave him were very high. Although he didn't have time to go out, after getting familiar with some middlemen, he entrusted people to buy things and could cook and eat here. How comfortable?

Returning to the big courtyard, Li Long told Gu Xiaoxia and Aunt Yang about this matter.

In his previous life, he lived for thirty years before gradually hearing about some fraud cases, so his awareness of prevention in this regard wasn't strong.

Mainly because he didn't run into them. Now he knew that it wasn't that there weren't any, but that swindlers also had targets, swindling those rich people, not swindling people like him who didn't have much money at that time.

As for later, when the young people in the village contracted land and had money, those people set up games to gamble, which wasn't swindling.

Swindling was too slow and troublesome. Gambling was fast, right? Hundreds of thousands in one night!

Those young people in the village worked hard for a whole year, and in one night, it was gone.

Getting off track.

Gu Xiaoxia was better. In the Education Bureau, she heard many things. Although there were no swindler cases, she wasn't very surprised.

Aunt Yang was a bit surprised. She had also saved some money in these two years. If you really want to talk about it, she was also a target for swindlers.

Although she hadn't run into one, Aunt Yang immediately became vigilant. Money still had to be held in her own hands; there was no free lunch in the sky.

The next day, Li Long didn't go into the mountains. He was waiting for news from Guo Tiebing. He was the whistleblower in this matter, so naturally, he wanted to hear how it followed up.

Before noon, Guo Tiebing came over.

"It really is a swindler, a big swindler." In the reception room, Guo Tiebing gestured with both hands: "Do you know? This one called Wang Shuigen swindled from Gansu, swindled six, and you are the seventh. The first six were swindled out of two hundred and ten thousand!"

Two hundred and ten thousand in these years, in the Northwest, that was truly a huge sum!

A courtyard in the county seat was only one or two thousand. Even in Wucheng, a courtyard in the city couldn't be sold for ten thousand yuan.

How many courtyards could two hundred and ten thousand buy?

The price of gold this year was tens of yuan per gram. Twenty thousand could buy several kilograms of gold!

"In Gansu, he claimed to be a descendant of the two Mas, that is, a descendant of Ma Bufang, and swindled many people, including one Han Chinese and four Hui people. After arriving in our Northern Xinjiang, he swindled one in Wucheng, swindling over thirty thousand yuan.

He swindled one in Beiting City, but didn't succeed, mainly because the other party's ancestor was killed by Sheng Sheng Shi Cai. When this person said he was a descendant of Sheng Sheng Shi Cai, the other party wanted to find him for revenge, so he was scared and ran away, and came to us here."

"Hey! He even knows how to adapt to local conditions and change? Where was he originally from?" Li Long asked.

"Shanghai person, originally an educated youth, didn't find a job after returning to the city, his family wasn't a rich household either, he was idle, and started swindling. This matter also pulled out a big case!"

"Big case?" Li Long was startled, "What big case?"

"You saw the map he took, right?"

"Saw it."

"That is a real military map. He got it from a waste purchasing station. Through inquiry, we found that the map hadn't been declassified, and then we notified the military. According to the situation at the purchasing station, this is likely leaked after a certain armed department's equipment warehouse was stolen."

This surprised Li Long. This was indeed a big case!

However, in these years, to tell the truth, the warehouses in some places were managed very loosely, and even guns were lost, let alone maps.

But no matter what, it was considered a leak.

"That woman is an unemployed youth Wang Shuigen met in Shanghai. At first, she was also swindled by Wang Shuigen to come over, but later she really regarded herself as the wife of an overseas Chinese," Guo Tiebing smiled sarcastically, "When we took her to the police station for interrogation, she even said she wanted to protest... sigh, really, swindling and swindling, she swindled herself."

Guo Tiebing didn't say more, and Li Long didn't ask in detail. He just asked one sentence, whether they wouldn't look for him later.

"You reported it with merit. Now the case has been taken over by the Autonomous Region Public Security Department, a big case. Our side has leaders joining, and by then you will be rewarded. This isn't an ordinary swindling case. It is said that similar cases have occurred in several places across the country."

Li Long nodded. This was also normal. After all, reform and opening up had started, the spring breeze had blown over, everyone was working hard to get rich, and some monsters and demons would also come out to make waves.

Since he was fine, he could go into the mountains. As for that reward, to tell the truth, Li Long didn't care at all. Now he had a representative, an advanced individual, and the hats on him were enough. This was just icing on the cake; it didn't matter if he had it or not.

After tidying up wild mushrooms and skins for another afternoon, Li Long planned to go into the mountains the next day.

A few days after Huang Lei left, now there were almost two hundred kilograms of wild mushrooms collected.

Once this market opened, the enthusiasm of the common people to get rich really couldn't be stopped.

Looking at the mushrooms sent by these people, and then thinking about the ones sent by Shaokelaiti at the beginning, Li Long made up his mind. If he went into the mountains this time, and the mushrooms sent by Shaokelaiti were still that dirty, don't say two yuan, even if he bought them for one yuan, it would be cheap for him!

Li Long going into the mountains was more to see the situation of Yushanjiang and the others driving tractors to harvest grass. Newly bought tractors usually didn't have big problems, but it didn't exclude the possibility of Yushanjiang and the others not paying attention when driving, pulling the cylinder, or having other accidents.

He had to go see it every day to be at ease.

For Li Long going into the mountains, his family definitely had no opinion. He brought a basket of chili and a basket of tomatoes on this trip into the mountains.

Tomatoes had just hit the market, and the price was quite expensive, but for Li Long, it didn't count for anything.

The onions and potatoes he brought last time were still there, so Li Long didn't buy many. Originally he had thought about buying some wine, but later thought about it and gave up, avoiding mistakes.

When the jeep drove past Qingshuihe Village, Li Long found that there were already many wheat straws piled up on the threshing floor, and many people were winnowing wheat in the middle of the threshing floor, which meant that the wheat harvest had completely ended and now it had entered the second stage of harvest.

In the harvested fields, some people were herding sheep, some were picking up wheat, and some tractors had already entered the fields and started plowing.

The land in Northern Xinjiang was basically planted once a year. After this wheat field was plowed, it was left there until October. If they wanted to plant wheat, they would continue, and if not, it would be left until next spring to sow other crops.

Someone had planted sixty-day yellow soybeans in this plowed wheat field, but the harvest was unsatisfactory. At the moment, the sixty-day yellow variety hadn't come out yet. Occasionally someone would plant Chinese cabbage or something, but very few.

There was a lot of land, and now everyone's energy was basically thinking about harvesting the wheat first—after all, the first big thing after harvest was to pay the public grain.

No one could avoid it.

He didn't see Meng Hai, so Li Long drove the jeep into the mountains.

The summer heat dissipated after two layers into the mountains. Although the ultraviolet rays in the mountains were stronger, places where the sun couldn't shine would be better.

When he arrived at Yushanjiang's winter shelter, he didn't see Shaokelaiti.

He didn't know if he would come later or if he wasn't coming today.

However, there were two more people at the winter shelter today. Talihar and Bieke were skinning a roe deer by the water pool, and there was also a wild mountain goat beside them. It seemed they had a good harvest today.

Shaokelaiti was called over by the captain of the Animal Husbandry Team early in the morning and was severely criticized.

At this time, he remembered the task the captain had given him. He had finished talking with Li Long, but he only cared about collecting wild mushrooms and forgot to reply to the team!

After being scolded by the captain, as for the price of one point five yuan per mu, the captain thought it was too expensive and wanted to lower it, but he didn't want to let Shaokelaiti go.

Shaokelaiti gave the captain two packs of cigarettes, and after much persuasion, he took on the job, saying he would definitely be able to lower the price.

So he rode his horse to Yushanjiang's winter shelter again with two sacks of mushrooms.

If it were someone else, following him would expose him.

It was better to go and say it himself.

The two sacks of wild mushrooms were collected when he returned yesterday afternoon. In the evening, his whole family processed these wild mushrooms well.

These two sacks of wild mushrooms weighed over eighty kilograms. If they could still be calculated at two yuan, then he could earn one hundred and sixty today!

Even if the cost of rice and flour was removed, this trip could earn dozens or even over a hundred!

If this work wasn't continued, it would be a disservice to himself!

When Shaokelaiti rushed to Yushanjiang's winter shelter, he could see the jeep, but didn't see Li Long.

But seeing the meat boiling in the big pot, Shaokelaiti knew he was going to have a feast again.

However, having eaten for three consecutive days, Shaokelaiti was a bit embarrassed. He hurriedly went to help Talihar and the others who were cleaning the offal, saying that he would definitely bring some delicious food tomorrow.

Whether he could bring it was another matter, at least he had to say it first, otherwise how could he be embarrassed to eat this meat?
