Chapter 43: Cover-up
Xiao Ping was confused by Lao Zhou's words, and asked puzzledly: "What's so bad about catching thieves? Look what these guys have ruined the vegetables! The loss of the farm is very great!"
"Actually...... I know who stole it. Lao Zhou stumbled: "It's Zhong Yuanxiong and Wu Ming's gang." ”
Xiao Pingxi said: "It's best to know who stole it, go, go to them now!"
Lao Zhou panicked: "Boss, you must not go! Usually no one dares to provoke these people in the village, even if they are bumping into them stealing vegetables, I advise you to treat it as if you didn't see it, don't stop it, otherwise...... It's going to be beaten by these people!"
Xiao Ping was surprised: "Stealing things and still dare to hit people?
"They are all relatives of the village chief, and they have the support of the village chief, so it's so great to beat someone. Lao Zhou is a timid and afraid person, and persuaded Xiao Ping again: "Boss, we can't afford to mess with these people, just bear it if you can." ”
Seeing Lao Zhou's nervous appearance, Xiao Ping didn't want him to worry, so he nodded casually and said, "I know about this, you go and get busy first." ”
"Boss, then I'll go to work. Lao Zhou really didn't want to deal with Zhong Yuanxiong's gang, so he hurriedly walked away with a hoe.
Xiao Ping is not the kind of person who is knocked out of his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, since he knows who stole the vegetables, he will not give up easily. He went directly to the village committee of Xiaozhou Village and found Zhong Shengli, who was drinking tea in the office.
Seeing Xiao Ping walk into the office, Zhong Shengli put down the teacup unhurriedly and said lukewarmly: "It turned out to be Mr. Xiao, what a rare guest." You haven't been here since the farm opened, so why did you think of looking for me this time?"
The reason why Zhong Shengli said this was because he had a little resentment towards Xiao Ping in his heart. This kid built a farm on the boundary of Xiaozhou Village to do business, and the business was still doing so well, he didn't even come to express his gratitude at all, he really didn't know how to be a man.
In fact, Xiao Ping is not unsympathetic, but when the two sides dealt with each other before, the greedy Zhong Shengli greed left a very bad impression on him, so Xiao Ping deliberately avoided contact with the other party. But this time the loss of the farm was not small, and Xiao Ping could only come to Zhong Shengli Theory.
"Village Chief Zhong, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Xiao Ping said lightly: "Recently, someone entered the farm to steal things, which made me suffer a lot of losses, and the security in your village is too poor, should you be in charge as the village head?"
Knowing that Xiao Ping was not here to give gifts but to find trouble, Zhong Shengli's face immediately sank and said: "Mr. Xiao, you are joking, our villagers in Xiaozhou Village have always been honest and honest, and they usually don't even quarrel and fight, how can anyone steal your food!"
Zhong Shengli put up the village chief's shelf, which was really a bit of official authority, and this appearance was enough to scare the villagers of Xiaozhou Village. However, Xiao Ping is a person who has eaten with the governor, where will he eat him?
Xiao Ping didn't have the slightest intention of flinching, and smiled faintly at Zhong Shengli: "I saw with my own eyes the vegetables stolen by Zhong Yuanxiong and Wu Ming, villagers of Xiaozhou Village, how can they talk nonsense? If Village Chief Zhong doesn't believe it, you can go to their house with me to have a look, my jade vegetables are very easy to recognize, and there must be no problem in catching thieves and catching stolen goods!"
Xiao Ping's words made Zhong Shengli frown, and he knew that this young man was really a little difficult to deal with. Zhong Yuanxiong is Zhong Shengli's nephew, and Wu Ming is his nephew, both of whom are close relatives. In fact, Zhong Shengli is also very clear about the fact that the two of them went to Xiao Ping's farm to steal vegetables in the past few days, and now he has the jade vegetables that these two boys respect at home.
Whether it was for the sake of the village chief's face or the two relatives, Zhong Shengli had to cover up this matter, and he looked at the aggressive Xiao Ping with great dissatisfaction and said: "Go to their house to see? You say it easily! You don't know that it is illegal to break into people's houses without permission? If you want to go to their house, you can go to the police station to report the case first, and wait for them to issue a search warrant! Although I am the village head, I have no right to break into the villagers' homes casually, anyway, I can't control this matter!"
Xiao Ping sneered angrily at Zhong Shengli's unreasonable attitude. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Ping didn't want to make the relationship with Xiaozhou Village very stiff, otherwise he would not have come to Zhong Shengli, but directly to Wang Chun from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The theft case worth nearly 10,000 yuan is enough for Zhong Yuanxiong and Wu Ming to go to prison for several years.
Xiao Ping came to Zhong Shengli, just to ask him to restrain his relatives and stop going to the farm to make trouble. I didn't expect Zhong Shengli to be so arrogant and push all the blame away. Xiao Ping didn't want to talk to the unreasonable Zhong Shengli anymore, so he slowly stood up and said, "Since Village Chief Zhong feels that this matter can't be managed, then I'll take care of it myself." If anyone dares to enter the farm to steal anything in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
After dropping this sentence, Xiao Ping left without looking back, leaving Zhong Shengli, who was so angry that his face turned pale, in the office alone. Xiao Ping had just left, and Zhong Shengli dialed a phone call with a gloomy face: "Yuanxiong? You and Ah Ming will transport those vegetables away as soon as possible! What are you doing? People have come to the door, what do you say it is for? Don't go there anymore recently, if something happens, it's always trouble, do you know what Lu Dao?"
Zhong Shengli then called his son again: "Yuanlong, do you want to know what happened to the owner of the farm?
After hanging up the phone angrily, Zhong Shengli came to the window and looked at the newly built farm and said to himself: "In Xiaozhou Village, Lao Tzu has the final say, even an outsider dares to come to make trouble, and when the time comes, you will look good!"
After leaving the village committee, Xiao Ping did not immediately return to the farm, but went directly to the flower and bird market in the city center. Those vegetable thieves all came at night, and Xiao Ping couldn't stay awake all night, so he decided to adopt the biological anti-theft method that has been passed down for thousands of years - to put it bluntly, he bought two dogs to watch the farm.
Although today is not the weekend, the flower and bird market is quite lively. Xiao Ping was not interested in anything else, and was bent on finding a stall selling dogs. There are many dog dealers in the market, some selling small toy dogs, and some selling large dogs like sleds or Su Mu. According to the stall owner, the car was full of Tibetan mastiffs, and the cheapest one cost more than 40,000 yuan.
Xiao Ping felt that these dogs were not suitable, especially the Tibetan mastiffs that could be sold for tens of millions at every turn, and he was even less interested. In Xiao Ping's opinion, the Tibetan mastiff is so expensive now, most of it is the result of speculation, so he will not spend that unjust money. Xiao Ping continued to walk a short distance, and saw a dog stall in front of him, this time his eyes lit up, and he finally found the dog he wanted to buy.
