"This situation just calls for a warning and a fine of a hundred or so yuan. If we're talking strict measures, the worst would be detention for a few days."
"Now, the folks at the police station are exploiting their ignorance of the law, intimidating them, making them fret for a while. Later, they'll find an excuse, like the New Year festivities, or someone pleading on their behalf, give them a warning, and let them go."
"Of course, Old Baldy will probably be detained for a couple of days. Although this guy didn't accept many bribes, who told him to betray his principles!"
"Then there's his distant relative, a habitual gambler, who couldn't stand staying home without any money for New Year, so he thought of coming over to Sancha River, which is wealthier than his place. He sneaked over and tried to tempt Old Baldy with a share of his gambling winnings to earn some New Year's money."
