Gao Lin's injuries looked very serious, but in fact, they were all flesh wounds, not muscles and bones, so when he arrived at the health center, he simply treated the wound, and then played an anti-inflammatory hanging bottle.

When he received a call from the police on duty at the police station, he heard that Xue Jiaqiang had been released, or Qiao Xuesen personally interrogated and released him personally, Gao Lin was first taken aback, and then he was angry.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Lin called Qiao Xuesen: "Director Qiao, what's the matter, how can you let go of the person who beat me?" ”

Gao Lin's tone was not good, and he spoke very impulsively, Qiao Xuesen was very harsh and unhappy when he heard it: "You go to the hotel to collect protection money, and people are brave in their actions, is there anything wrong?" ”

Gao Lin became even more angry when he heard Qiao Xuesen's words: "Then if he beat me, it will be considered for nothing, right?" He has to take care of the medical expenses, right? ”

Qiao Xuesen replied coldly: "You still have to take care of your own medical expenses, if you are held responsible, you should know that your behavior has constituted a crime, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time, and I am also for your good." ”

Gao Lin was very puzzled by Qiao Xuesen's abnormality, what was wrong with Qiao Xuesen, he wasn't like this before, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person.

"Qiao Xuesen, did you drink it at night? I am Gao Lin, and my brother-in-law is Jiang Junkai! Gao Lin was furious.

"Secretary Xue knows all about the matter of you going to the hotel to collect protection money, and he specially called me and asked me to enforce the law impartially. I've got something to do, so let's do it for now. Qiao Xuesen hung up the phone after speaking.

Secretary Xue? Gao Lin looked at the mobile phone in his hand, thinking in his head, could it be that Secretary Xue in Qiao Xuesen's mouth is Xue Fei, Secretary of the Town Party Committee? No wonder Qiao Xuesen is so abnormal, it turns out that he has a relationship with Xue Fei.

Gao Lin held his mobile phone vigorously, thinking that this matter is not over, let's see.

The next morning, Gao Lin went to the town government, entered the office building, and went straight to the office of the town mayor Jiang Junkai. Gao Lin didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door and entered.

Jiang Junkai was looking down at the documents, and when he saw that the office door was suddenly pushed open, he was very unhappy, and he was about to get angry, when he saw that it was Gao Lin who came in, with a blue nose and swollen face, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gao Lin came to the desk with a sad face, as if he had been wronged, and said, "Brother-in-law, I was bullied. ”

Jiang Junkai is Gao Lin's brother-in-law.

Jiang Junkai put down the documents in his hand, motioned for Gao Lin to sit down, and then said with concern: "What's the matter, you speak slowly." ”

Gao Lin didn't tell the truth, he made up a story and said: "I went to the old Song sauce bone restaurant to eat last night, a kid is very horizontal, deliberately nothing to do, I didn't do anything with him, I also deliberately told him who my brother-in-law was, but people didn't pay attention to it at all, saying that they had never heard of Jiang Junkai's three words in Shili Town, and then beat me up." He's tall and strong, and I don't have any room to fight back. Later, a well-wisher helped call the police, and the people from the police station came to take the kid away, I thought that the people from the police station would do business, but I didn't expect Qiao Xuesen to rush to the police station from home for interrogation, and he was released after the trial. Brother-in-law, do you say that there is still a way for good people to walk? ”

"What you say is true?" Jiang Junkai knows his brother-in-law very well, and knows that he usually likes to cause trouble, so he suspects that he may not be telling the truth.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you, the owner of the Sauce Bone Restaurant can testify." Gao Lin said very surely.

"Then Qiao Xuesen doesn't know that you were beaten?"

"Yes, can you not know, but do you know what he told me? He said that Secretary Xue personally called him and told him to enforce the law impartially. Brother-in-law, didn't you say that he Qiao Xuesen was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, he didn't take you seriously. Gao Lin sowed discord.

Secretary Xue? Xue Fei.

"Qiao Xuesen really said that Secretary Xue called him?" Jiang Junkai wondered, why Xue Fei was still involved in this.

"I said it, Qiao Xuesen said it himself. Brother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me, I was bullied in Shili Town, doesn't that mean you are being bullied. How many years have you been in Shili Town, then Xue Fei has only been here for a few days, originally his position should have been yours, he robbed you of your position, and now he knows that I am your brother-in-law, and he deliberately called Qiao Xuesen to play prestige, he clearly didn't take you in his eyes, if you don't give him some color, I think he will have to ride on your neck and sooner or later. Gao Lin added fuel to the fire.

Gao Lin's words touched Jiang Junkai's sore spot, and Jiang Junkai's face suddenly became ugly.

Jiang Junkai is a native of Shili Town, he has survived step by step from a middle school teacher to today, he is over forty years old, he thought that he would be successfully elected as the secretary of the town party committee last year, but he didn't expect Xue Fei to parachute in to grab his position, although Xue Fei is not lazy in this matter, but he is still angry in his heart. Xue Fei is so young, he doesn't know how long he will have to stay in Shili Town, if he stays for two years or three years, his desire to go to the county will probably be completely disappointed.

However, Jiang Junkai is still very sober, he didn't plan to fight against Xue Fei, because Xue Fei is the number one anyway, and Xue Fei has been getting along well with everyone during the time he has been in Shili Town, if he has nothing to do to provoke Xue Fei, he will definitely not have any good fruit to eat. So after listening to Gao Lin's words, Jiang Junkai was not angry, let alone promised to be angry for Gao Lin.

"I know about your business, aren't you okay, this matter will end here, don't mention it again in the future." Jiang Junkai didn't want to tear up his face with Xue Fei because of Gao Lin's trivial matter, he felt that it was unnecessary and he couldn't do it.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of that Xue Fei? Gao Lin still expects Jiang Junkai to save face for him, if Jiang Junkai doesn't care about him, where will he put his face, how will he mix in Shili Town in the future.

"Okay, don't say it's useless, I still have something to do, if you're okay, let's go." Jiang Junkai issued an eviction order.

Although Gao Lin was very unwilling, Jiang Junkai said so, so he couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave obediently, but he didn't listen to Jiang Junkai, he was still thinking about how to save the face he lost last night.

At the door of the town government office building, when Gao Lin walked out, he met Xue Jiaqiang who came in, he was already angry, and when he saw that Xue Jiaqiang was safe and sound, Gao Lin was even more angry, so he glared at Xue Jiaqiang fiercely.

Xue Jiaqiang completely ignored Gao Lin and walked directly past Gao Lin's side, which made Gao Lin angry. Looking at Xue Jiaqiang's back, Gao Lin said fiercely in his heart: "You wait for me, there will be a day when you cry!" ”

Xue Jiaqiang came to find Xue Fei, and when he entered Xue Fei's office, Xue Fei was quite surprised to see him.

"Hello Secretary Xue." Xue Jiaqiang said respectfully, seeing that Xue Fei was so young, not a few years older than himself, Xue Jiaqiang was shocked.

"Hello, are you here?" Xue Fei got up and walked out of the desk and asked Xue Jiaqiang to sit down.

"I'm here to thank Secretary Xue. If I'm not mistaken, it was Secretary Xue who greeted Director Qiao from the police station last night, right? "Xue Jiaqiang wants to confirm.

"Hehe, I called Director Qiao, because I was in the Sauce Bone Pavilion at the time, and I saw the whole process, although your behavior was a bit excessive, it was still commendable that you could stand up. By the way, what's your name? Xue Fei poured a glass of water for Xue Jiaqiang, and Xue Jiaqiang hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it.

"I have the same surname as Secretary Xue, and my name is Xue Jiaqiang." Xue Jiaqiang replied.

"yes, so we were one family five hundred years ago, what do you do?" Xue Fei asked with a smile.

"I'm still unemployed, I've been in the army before, I just left the army at the end of last year, and I don't know what to do." Xue Jiaqiang felt very confused about what he should do next, his parents were farmers, he didn't want to farm, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't have any goals at all.

"Won't you be resettled when you come back from the army?"

"I was given a placement fee, and I had to find a job on my own."

"Oh. Then when you were in the army, what kind of soldier were you? ”

"Scout. I have made two second-class merits and four third-class merits. Whenever Xue Jiaqiang talks about his military exploits in the army, his face will be full of pride.

Xue Fei has never been a soldier, but he knows that scouts are a particularly great type of troops, not special forces, but they are better than special forces, and those who can be scouts must have extremely excellent military quality, psychological quality, and physical quality, and are known as special forces in conventional forces.

Xue Jiaqiang has been a scout and has made many military exploits, Xue Fei feels that he is a talent.

Thinking of last night's incident, Xue Jiaqiang asked, "Secretary Xue, do you know who the person I beat last night was?" ”

Xue Fei shook his head, he didn't know anything about Gao Lin.

Xue Jiaqiang introduced: "His name is Gao Lin, he is notorious in Shili Town, he is rampant and domineering, and he makes a living by collecting protection money and opening casinos, Shili Town did not dare to provoke him, if anyone accidentally provokes him, he will definitely not end well, and the people in the town dare not speak out against him." It is no exaggeration to say that he is the tyrant of Shili Town. ”

If he hadn't seen Gao Lin, Xue Fei would have thought that he was exaggerating when he heard Xue Jiaqiang's words, and through last night's incident, Xue Fei knew that Xue Jiaqiang was not lying, and Gao Lin's ability to do such a thing as collecting protection money means that he is already a scourge of one party.

"Is it because he can run rampant in the countryside because he is ruthless?" Xue Fei wanted to know what Gao Lin's reliance was.

"Of course not. Secretary Xue has been in Shili Town for a short time, and he may not know much about the situation in Shili Town. The reason why Gao Lin can be so domineering is because he has a good brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law's name is Jiang Junkai. Xue Jiaqiang looked at Xue Fei and said.

Hearing Jiang Junkai's name, the expression on Xue Fei's face remained the same, without the slightest change, but he was somewhat surprised in his heart, but it was only a flash, because it was normal to think about it, if Gao Lin didn't have a strong backer, how could he dare to collect premiums in Shili Town? Jiang Junkai, as Gao Lin's brother-in-law, is not surprising when Gao Lin's umbrella is his umbrella.

Xue Jiaqiang and Xue Fei mentioned the relationship between Gao Lin and Jiang Junkai, the purpose was to seek protection, last night after listening to Fang Hui's words, he came home and thought about it again, he felt that he was indeed a little nosy last night, but the matter had happened and could not be reversed, so he had to seek Xue Fei's protection. He thought that Xue Fei would react violently when he heard his words, but he didn't expect Xue Fei to react at all, which couldn't help but make him a little worried.

Xue Jiaqiang didn't know anything about Xue Fei, but he had heard of the word gilding, Xue Fei became the secretary of the town party committee at such a young age, and he suspected that Xue Fei was a person with a deep background who came to Shili Town to gild. If this is the case, Xue Fei is afraid that he will not really care about Gao Lin's affairs, in that case, he will not be far from bad luck.

Xue Jiaqiang didn't give up, he wanted to try again, if it really didn't work, he would leave Shili Town and go out to hide for a while, anyway, there was nothing to do in Shili Town.

"Secretary Xue, do you have time at night, I want to treat you to a meal." Xue Jiaqiang asked with his heart, he was afraid that Xue Fei would not agree.

Xue Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I have time at night." ”

Seeing that Xue Fei agreed, Xue Jiaqiang felt that there was a play, and his heart instantly became a lot more steady.

After Xue Jiaqiang left, Xue Fei picked up the phone and called Chen Feng, director of the Party and Government Office, to the office.

"Secretary Xue, you are looking for me." Chen Feng entered Xue Fei's office and said.

"How many people are driving for the town government now?" Xue Fei asked.

"It used to be two, but last week one quit, and now there is only one left, and I'm preparing to hire another one."

"I know a guy who is very good, a veteran, how about letting him drive to the town hall?"

Xue Fei said this, how dare Chen Feng say no, he said: "Okay, you can come over at any time, and you won't have to recruit me again." ”

Xue Fei said with a smile: "Then I'll ask him to report to you tomorrow." ”

In the evening, Xue Jiaqiang invited Xue Fei to have a meal at the best restaurant in Shili Town.

Xue Jiaqiang is not a particularly talkative person, he thought in his heart that he should show favor to Xue Fei and pat Xue Fei's ass, but the reality is that he can't say it at all, he always feels that that kind of thing is not something that a person like him can do, and he has never done it in the past, so at the dinner table, he didn't say much to flatter, just drank vigorously.

Xue Fei knew the purpose of Xue Jiaqiang's invitation to dinner, he thought that Xue Jiaqiang would slap him at the dinner table, but he saw that it didn't happen, but Xue Jiaqiang had been pouring himself all the time, Xue Fei had a little more affection for Xue Jiaqiang, thinking that this kid was not bad, more realistic, not the kind of sleek and sophisticated person.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xue Fei asked, "You should be able to drive, right?" ”

Xue Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Yes, the recruit will learn to drive in three months, and I can drive all kinds of cars." ”

"Do you want to go to the town hall to drive?"

Xue Jiaqiang was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Xue Fei to let him go to the town government to drive, because of the suddenness, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he didn't answer at the first time.

"Why, you don't want to go?"

"Think, think, I want to go." Xue Jiaqiang hurriedly said.

Although driving to the town government is only a temporary employment, not everyone can go if they want to, and in the township, it is also a very decent job to be able to drive in the government. For Xue Jiaqiang, not only does he have a job, but most importantly, in his opinion, this is Xue Fei's performance of treating him as his own, and with Xue Fei's protection, he no longer has to worry about Gao Lin and Jiang Junkai finding him trouble.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the town government to report to Director Chen of the Party and Government Office, remember, don't be late." Xue Fei has always wanted to find someone who can stay by his side, make him trustworthy, and only use him, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate. He felt that Xue Jiaqiang was a usable person, but he was not really usable, and he had to observe and observe again to see Xue Jiaqiang's specific performance.

"I'm sure I'm not going to be late, thank you Secretary Xue for helping me arrange work, I'm stupid, I can't say anything, I'm done with this glass of wine." Xue Jiaqiang was very excited and very felt, he poured a whole glass of wine and dried it in one gulp.
