Chapter 640: Death Doesn't Leave
Old Man Qiao's tea room is not a night-always meeting, and there are no guests at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it closes on time at four o'clock every day. These guys are still sneaking around outside the tea room when it's dark, and they're certainly not good people. Xiao Ping didn't alarm them, kept quiet and approached quickly, and soon heard their whispered conversation.
"Do a good job in a while, move quickly!" one of them was instructing his accomplices: "The young one has been scared away during the day, and now there is an old fellow left in it." Let's go in and find the old guy and just take him away. As long as you drive people out of the ancient temple, the boss will take care of the rest, understand?"
"Zhilu said, Brother Shan. ”
"It's still a matter of seconds to deal with an old guy!"
"If you do this well, the boss will have a reward, right?"
Others said there was no problem, and some people were already worried about the bonus coming after the fact.
Xiao Ping was hiding in the shadows not far away, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard the words of these guys. Fortunately, I hurried over all the way, just in time to get to the tea room before these guys could do it. If it's an hour late, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Don't shout!" The man in the lead hurriedly stopped the others from making sounds, lowered his voice and said, "If you understand, do it, talk so nonsense...... Ouch!"
At the same time that this person was teaching his subordinates, Xiao Ping, who was hiding in the shadows, had already picked up a stone from the ground, aimed it at him and smashed it, so the words that this guy hadn't finished speaking immediately turned into a scream.
Although Xiao Ping didn't use much force, it was enough to smash the opponent's head to the point of bleeding. This guy only felt that the place covered by his hand was wet, and hurriedly took a flashlight to shine it. I found that my palms were full of blood.
"-, who did that?!" Shocked and angry, the guy couldn't bother to keep quiet. shouted inwardly at the darkness: "Come out for Lao Tzu and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!"
But the only thing that responded to this guy was more stones. Stone after stone flew out of the darkness. Accurately hit a person's head every time. Screams rang out outside the teahouse, but in the blink of an eye, six or seven people's heads were opened, and they didn't even know where the attackers were hiding.
In such a passive situation, this group of people was a little panicked. These guys are all bullies who are afraid of the hard, and when they are asked to bully a lone old man, they all act like lone heroes in action movies. However, when faced with a threat from nowhere, they immediately relented.
"Let's run first!" shouted one of the most daring fellows, clutching his head. Be the first to run down the mountain.
Since someone started, the others immediately followed suit, and they all ran down the hill desperately. The leader only hesitated for a moment, and found that his little brothers had all run away.
"A bunch of unrighteous bastards!" the leader scolded angrily, and then ran away down the hill as well.
When these guys all ran away, Xiao Ping Shi Ran walked out from behind a big tree, looked at the direction they fled and scolded in a low voice: "Idiot." ”
These people are just little minions, and Xiao Ping is not interested in what they do. After driving them away, he knocked on the door of the tea room.
After only two knocks, the door opened. Immediately afterwards, a shovel slashed down in front of him, which really startled Xiao Ping.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping reacted quickly, and hurriedly retreated to avoid the shovel, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Old man." It's me!"
Old Man Qiao, who missed the first blow, was about to launch a second attack, and immediately stopped after hearing Xiao Ping's voice. He glanced at Xiao Ping expressionlessly, threw down the shovel casually, turned around and walked towards the tea room. Just coldly dropped two words: "Close the door!"
Xiao Ping had long been accustomed to the old man's taciturn style, and hurriedly closed the door with a wry smile. Follow him into the tea room.
To Xiao Ping's surprise, Old Man Qiao, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, hadn't slept yet. Water was still boiling on the stove. When Xiao Ping entered the door, the water just began to boil. It seems that Old Man Qiao had expected that the other party would come to make trouble at night, and he was ready to deal with the other party for a long time.
The old man made a cup of tea with freshly boiled water, put it in front of Xiao Ping, and asked, "How is Ah Si?"
Although the old man was not good at expressing himself, he actually cared about the loyal and honest middle-aged man, Xiao Ping hurriedly replied: "His condition is fine, and the injury is not very serious." I had him taken to the hospital for a check-up, and then he stayed on the farm for a while, and then he came back after healing. ”
Very satisfied with Xiao Ping's arrangement, Old Man Qiao nodded silently, and held back for a long time before saying four words: "You shouldn't come!"
"How can I not come?" Xiao Ping frowned and said: "I have always regarded you as an elder, there is such a big thing in the tea room, if I don't care about it, will I still be a human?"
Hearing Xiao Ping's words, Old Man Qiao looked up at him for a while, but he didn't say anything after that, just shook his head gently. He was bent on keeping the tearoom, and he didn't care if he fought to the death, but he didn't intend to involve anyone else. In the old man's opinion, he has affected Xiao Ping and Ah Si, which is a nerve-wracking thing for him, who has always disliked to trouble others.
However, in Xiao Ping's opinion, when Old Man Qiao encounters such a thing, it is incumbent on him to come forward. On the way, he thought of a countermeasure, and said to Old Man Qiao with a smile: "Old man, why don't I send you to the farm to live for a few days?"
Xiao Ping's tone was relaxed when he said this, and he didn't take the guy who wanted to drive away Old Man Qiao seriously at all. The relationship between Old Man Qiao and Old Chen is so iron, and he still has to worry that he will be swept out of the house by those rich and unkind landlords? Even if he doesn't alarm Old Chen, relying on Xiao Ping's current relationship alone is enough to settle this matter. The reason why Xiao Ping invited Old Man Qiao to live in the farm for a few days was just that he was worried that if there was a conflict, it would not be good to hurt his old man.
However, Xiao Ping obviously underestimated the degree of Old Man Qiao's stubbornness. The old man just glanced at Xiao Ping coldly, ignoring him at all.
Xiao Ping also knew the old man Qiao very well, and at first glance, he knew that he was unwilling to leave, so he could only smile helplessly: "Yes, if you want to stay, I will give up my life to accompany your old man, let's stay, see who can force us to go!"
Satisfied with Xiao Ping's attitude, the old man stood up and dropped the sentence "I'll lie down", and went back to the room to sleep. The old man hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, and he is indeed tired, but now that Xiao Ping is here, he can finally sleep peacefully.
Of course, Old Man Qiao can sleep in peace, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Ping can also rest, he has to think of a way to completely solve this matter.
Although Old Man Qiao is Chen Lao's life-saving benefactor, and the two can be said to have a fateful friendship, Xiao Ping does not intend to alarm Chen Lao because of this incident. After all, a big cadre like Chen Lao has countless national affairs to deal with every day, and it is really not a wise choice to disturb him just because of such a trivial matter.
In fact, the leader closest to Xiao Ping is, of course, Zhang Guoquan. However, Hangzhou is not a city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it is not appropriate to find Zhang Guoquan.
Xiao Ping thought about it, he was familiar enough with him, and he could manage the big leader of Hangzhou, and the only one who was Lei Yunlong's brother's father, Lei An.
Now that he had determined who to ask for help, Xiao Ping immediately began to act. It's late now, and it's not appropriate to call Lei An, but it's not a problem to call Lei Yunlong.
Xiao Ping quickly dialed Lei Yunlong's phone, and he could hear that he hadn't slept yet, and shouted loudly on the other end: "Ho, you kid finally remembered to call me, you didn't contact me last time you went to the capital, but you are really not enough friends!"
Xiao Ping smiled and said, "I heard that Qianlong said that you have been enjoying the two-person world realm recently, I am embarrassed to disturb you." ”
Speaking of this, Lei Yunlong was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "There must be something wrong with calling me so late, let's talk about it!"
"Does my uncle have any acquaintances in Hangzhou?" Xiao Ping was not polite, and cut straight to the point: "I have an elder who has something to do here......
Xiao Ping told Lei Yunlong all the causes and consequences of the incident, and said to him seriously: "This matter is very important, you must help your brother!"
This was the first time Xiao Ping opened his mouth to ask Lei Yunlong for help, and he also attached great importance to it and said in a deep voice: "I heard the old man at home say that the secretary of the political and legal committee in that place in Hangzhou used to be his old subordinate. However, it will definitely take time for this kind of thing to be pressed down and investigated, and I am afraid that during this time, your elder has already been forced away by the other party. ”
Xiao Ping smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm in Lion Rock right now, unless the other party sends a bulldozer up, it's not so easy to drive us away!"
Hearing Xiao Ping say this, Lei Yunlong was also a little surprised, knowing that this elder had a high status in the hearts of his friends. Thinking of this, Lei Yunlong was not ambiguous, and immediately agreed: "I will call the old man early tomorrow morning and ask him to tell the old subordinates about this matter immediately and handle this matter as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Lei Yunlong helping so much, Xiao Ping was also very moved, and decided that it would be better to remind him, so he lowered his voice and said: "Brother Long, as far as I know, this elder of mine once worked with a leader who was sent to the countryside, and he also saved other people's lives, and now that is already a national-level leader!"
The third generation of Hong, who was born into a family like Lei Yunlong, naturally knows the experiences of several major leaders very well. Lei Yunlong only thought about it for a moment, and he remembered which one had worked in the suburbs of Hangzhou, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
This news was so unexpected that Lei Yunlong asked Xiao Ping with some uncertainty: "Which one are you talking about?"
Xiao Ping replied affirmatively: "That's right, that's the one!" (to be continued......)
