The two old men seemed to have understood the situation and immediately pointed at the people who had been chatting earlier.

"Old Sun, Old Li, and Old Liu, they all said so."

When the people who were called heard this, their faces instantly turned ugly and they immediately started cursing.

"You two, stop talking nonsense! We are good people and we will never talk behind others' backs."

"That's right, police comrade, these two people are really going too far. They have been slandering Comrade Cao Xing's reputation here."

Seeing these people denying everything, the two old men were so angry that they were shaking all over.

Just now everyone said they were going to report Cao Xing, but as soon as they saw that something was wrong, they immediately changed their tune and sold out the two of them.

When Zhu Tao saw this situation, he immediately spoke to the two old men.

"You two spread false information, causing damage to the reputation of the martyr's family. Now according to the law, you are arrested. Please come with us."

After saying this, he didn't give the two old men any chance to react. He just waved his hand, signaling his men to go up and grab the two old men.

Of course the two old men were unwilling to surrender and tried to resist hard.

However, Zhu Tao pulled out his pistol without hesitation and pointed it at them.

"How dare you two resist arrest and resist? I have the right to shoot you on the spot. Be smart and stop resisting!"

Faced with the black muzzle of the gun, the two old men immediately calmed down and could only be handcuffed by the police.

Neither of them dreamed that they would be sent to prison just by talking a few words.

Cao Xing laughed and said, "Two uncles, I'm right, aren't I? You will get free Wowotou when you go in. Don't worry, you will have enough of these free Wowotou to eat until you die!"

Although he spoke with a smile, his words were filled with indifference.

After hearing this, the two old men trembled all over and could not help begging Cao Xing desperately.

"Cao Xing, we were wrong. Can you please let us go? We promise not to speak ill of you again."

"That's right, Cao Xing, just ignore us two old men. I will definitely worship you and pray for you every day."

Cao Xing waved his hands and said, "The law is fair and cannot be changed according to my will. I believe the government will give you a reasonable sentence."

His words were full of cruelty. It was obvious that a simple word of forgiveness could resolve the crisis between the two people, but he said the words that neither of them wanted to hear the most.

This statement also ultimately foreshadows that the two men's future fate may be spent in prison.

This is tantamount to announcing their death sentence.

As for how long the two old men can survive in prison, they may live for ten years outside, but only one year inside.

The two old men were filled with despair and were about to curse at Cao Xing, but the police stuffed a rag in their mouths and they could only whimper to vent their dissatisfaction.

Zhu Tao watched the two old men being taken away with cold eyes, and then said: "Today I will teach you about the law. If you spread rumors and cause bad influence, you will be arrested. If you say something without any evidence and get reported, be careful not to be arrested by us."

Everyone was terrified when they heard this and kept silent. The fate of the two old men was the biggest deterrent to them.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Director Zhu, for educating us about the law."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tao smiled, completely different from the cold-faced judge before.

"Serving the people is what we should do. It is my fault that something like this happened in my jurisdiction. I will have people patrol here every day in the future."

He didn't mean it empty words.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Red Star Police Station is now the largest police station in the entire city.

The benefits are more than those at the headquarters, and countless people want to squeeze in and take up a position.

This has also led to the number of people in the police station now reaching more than 80 people, which can be said to be not much different from that of the branch.

Therefore, no matter how big Nanluoguxiang is, Zhu Tao only needs to use half of his people to patrol it.

Zhu Tao knew very well that Cao Xing had powerful connections behind him. If any news that was unfavorable to Cao Xing got to the top, he would be in big trouble.

That's why he got so nervous when he heard someone saying bad things about Cao Xing.

Although some of those rumors were true, he would never admit them, let alone let them spread.

"Haha, then I'll trouble you comrades."

"You are a family member of a martyr, and you have made contributions and received awards. We cannot let heroes suffer injustice. This is what I, as the director, should do."

After the two exchanged greetings, Zhu Tao took his men away.

Cao Xing looked at the crowd around him and a smile appeared on his face.

But at this moment, his smile was no longer a symbol of gentleness and kindness in people's eyes. Instead, it looked like the devil's hideous grin, which was frightening.

No one dared to look him in the eye. No one wanted to end up like those two old men stumbling into prison.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, my name is Cao Xing. I do work in a steel mill, but I'm not a big shot. I'm just a low-level clerk, making 37.5 yuan a month. As for my other stories, they are completely false. I hope you won't spread rumors."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Xing continued, "It is said that rumors stop at wise people. Don't fall for the evil schemes of some people."

Seeing that still no one spoke, Cao Xing sneered inwardly, thinking that these people were all scared.

"Someone may investigate the source of these rumors later. I hope everyone will actively cooperate. Failure to cooperate will be at your own risk."

After he said that, he took Qin Jingru and turned away.

Only after he walked away did the group dare to speak in a low voice.

However, they did not dare to spread rumors about Cao Xing anymore, after all, there were two policemen watching over them.

This is the largest open space in Nanluoguxiang. What happened here spread throughout the entire Nanluoguxiang in a very short time.

Moreover, with the presence of police officers on every street, this also confirms the police's attitude of supporting Cao Xing.

This also indirectly shows that Cao Xing was indeed maliciously slandered. After all, if he was really a corrupt official, he would not have received such strong support from the government.

When Cao Xing returned to the courtyard and met the women, he understood the general situation.

But he was not surprised when he saw He Yushui crying.

He had already sensed Yu Haitang's great resentment a few days ago, so it must be she who did it.

It is only natural that He Yushui is taken advantage of by others.

He immediately said to He Yushui: "Yushui, there is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. The mouth belongs to someone else. Who told others about our family affairs with your big mouth?"

Seeing Cao Xing say the same thing, He Yushui asked in disbelief.

"Brother Xing, do you also think that Yu Haitang did this?"

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Anyway, you should go back to school and study hard. You have caused all the grievances. You can talk about it when you can't bear it anymore."
