Since Shili Town has no resources, it is almost impossible to develop its economy according to local conditions. There was a lot of harmony in the town government, at least on the surface, so Xue Fei stayed very leisurely in Shili Town.

He is also happy to live such a life, he was originally assigned, and he can't make political achievements and fight every day, so it would be too tiring. However, born in the public family, it is obviously impossible to think of a bad thing that can't be encountered.

After work in the evening, Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan were too lazy to cook, so they decided to go out to eat.

There is an old Song sauce bone restaurant in Shili Town, which is famous far and wide, and after the two of them went over, they found a place to sit down and eat.

While eating, two men came in from outside the door, their appearance was very distinctive, one short was only one meter six, but they were very fat, at least two hundred pounds by sight, they looked like a tank, they looked a little funny, very much like a comedian. He is about 1.85 meters tall, very thin, like a big bamboo pole, and his appearance is not good. The short one is obviously the boss, he walks in front, with a toothpick in his mouth, I don't know if he just finished eating and picking his teeth, or if he is holding it to be cool, in short, he looks like a leather.

"Old Song come out!" The tall, thin man shouted.

The owner of the hotel, Lao Song, was busy in the back kitchen, and when he heard someone calling him, he lifted the curtain and came out of the back kitchen. ”

Lao Song is almost fifty years old, and the short and fat man looks like he is in his early thirties, but Lao Song calls him brother.

Humpty Dumpty flicked the toothpick in his hand, leaned against the cash register, and said with a smile while knocking on the counter: "I'm not here to eat." ”

Lao Song asked, "Then Brother Lin is here?" ”

The tall thin man on the side said, "We're here to collect money." ”

When Lao Song heard this, he walked into the cashier and pulled out the drawer and took out three hundred yuan. This is a protection fee, which must be paid every month.

The short and fat man didn't take the money handed over by Lao Song, he looked at Lao Song and said, "There are still three hundred." ”

Lao Song didn't understand: "Isn't it three hundred, what do you mean it's still three hundred?" ”

The tall and thin man frowned and said, "The price has risen, starting from this month, it will be six hundred per month." ”

Lao Song couldn't help frowning: "Six hundred? It's a bit up, isn't it? I'm a small business, and you've tripled it all at once, brother, and I can't afford it. ”

Humpty Dumpty didn't squeak, he just lowered his head and touched the emerald ring on his finger.

The tall and thin man looked impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get the money, we have to go to someone else's house in a while, don't delay our time." ”

Lao Song definitely didn't want to take more money out, so he bargained: "Otherwise, I don't want three hundred, and you don't want six hundred, just four hundred, how about it?" Brother Lin, we've known each other for two or three years, and you're a frequent visitor to my place, so why do you have to take care of me, what do you say? ”

The short and fat man raised his head and said with a smile: "Old Song, look at how good your business is now, how can you have thousands of daily flows, right?" Catering is a profiteering industry, you don't earn 500 if you sell 1,000, you can always earn 400, right? A month is 12,000. If someone came and caused trouble, how much do you think you have to lose? So six hundred is still a very cost-effective one, you are a smart person, don't count the big account as a small account. ”

Lao Song scolded in his heart when he heard this, who else can make trouble in Shili Town besides you, Wang Ba Lamb, you are fucking blackmail.

Lao Song only dared to scold in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say it, if he said it, it was estimated that his sauce bone restaurant would not be able to open.

Even if there are 10,000 unwilling, but in order for his business to continue to open in Shili Town, Lao Song can only swallow his anger and obediently take the money, otherwise what can he do, who can't afford to provoke others.

took out another three hundred from the drawer, and Lao Song was just about to hand over the money to the short and fat man, when a person came over, reached out and snatched the six hundred yuan in Lao Song's hand, and then threw the money into the cash register. Lao Song was taken aback, and the tall, thin and short and fat man were also stunned, and the three of them didn't know the person who suddenly came over.

This person doesn't look very old, he is in his early twenties, and he is one meter eight tall, a little shorter than a tall and thin man, but not much shorter. He has a strong physique, a perfect figure, and although he is not handsome, he has a heroic face and a sense of justice all over his body.

"This money can't be given to them!" The young man stared at the stocky man and the tall and thin man, all drunk, but he didn't drink much.

"Who the forgot to tie their belts and exposed you. Less and more nosy, you know? The tall and thin man grabbed the young man by the collar and threatened.

The young man looked disdainful and sneered: "It's illegal to collect premiums, and it's so crazy to do illegal things, you really don't have anyone anymore." Hurry up and let go of your hands, and I'll act as if nothing happened. ”

As soon as the young man's words came out, the anger of the tall and thin man and the short and fat man was completely ignited, but the short and fat man didn't say anything, he just looked at the young man angrily, and the tall and thin man looked angry and ready to do something at any time.

"I won't let go of what? You little, you're tired, aren't you? Whom do you talk to like that? Believe it or not, I'll you now! The tall and thin man did not let go, and he pointed another finger at the young man's nose and cursed.

Lao Song was very anxious when he watched from the side, he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say. I want to separate the two people, but I'm worried that I'll be beaten, so I'm a bit of a dilemma.

The guests in the hotel all looked at the cash register at this time, and they all looked like they were watching a good show.

When Xue Fei saw that he was going to fight, he wanted to get up and go over to stop him, Qu Yuanyuan saw this, reached out and pressed Xue Fei's hand, she said, "Don't forget your identity, let's eat with peace of mind." ”

Qu Yuanyuan knew Xue Fei's temper, she was not afraid of Xue Fei pulling the fight, she was afraid that she would move her hands if she pulled it, Xue Fei was the secretary of the Party Committee of Shili Town, if she started fighting in Shili Town, it would not be a good thing to spread it.

Xue Fei listened to Qu Yuanyuan's reminder and hesitated, but still sat down again.

"I don't believe it!" As he spoke, the young man grabbed the wrist of the tall and thin man, and saw that the tall and thin man's face suddenly became ugly.

"Ah...... You let go...... You let go......" The tall and thin man felt that his wrist was about to be pinched off, and the pain was heartbreaking, but he didn't dare to move, for fear that if the young man tried harder, his hand would be useless.

"Just these two moments, don't come out to pretend to be the underworld and collect protection money." The young man let go of his hand and said disdainfully.

The tall and thin man took a few steps back and stood aside, enduring the pain, and hurried to see how his wrist was doing.

The short and fat man saw that his subordinates were cleaned up so easily, and the people who were eating in the restaurant were still watching, and he felt very shameless, so he didn't say a word, raised his foot and kicked at the young man.

The young man had already noticed the short and fat man, and with a flash of his dexterity, he dodged the kick from the short and fat man, but then raised his hand to hit a heavy punch, the short and fat man was not so dexterous, because the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to react, and his right eye was firmly punched, and he was suddenly full of gold stars.

Although the young man didn't drink much, because of his strong blood and the effect of alcohol, he didn't stop there, and then went up to punch and kick the short and fat man, Lao Song didn't dare to hesitate anymore, he was afraid that the short and fat man would be broken, and he couldn't escape what happened in his shop, so he went up to stop it. There were also those who came to eat with the young man, and they also went up to fight, but unfortunately neither of them could stop the young man, he was too fierce, like a mad tiger, and beat the short and fat man not only without the power to fight back, but also looked for teeth all over the ground.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man knew that he was also beaten when he went up, so he didn't get on, but ran out of the hotel while people were unprepared.

It didn't take long for a few policemen to come to the hotel, and when they saw the young man beating someone, they used to be a few electric batons, flashed their police cards, and then took the young man away in uniform. The short and fat man was taken to the town health center to treat his injuries, and he was seriously injured.

"He is too reckless and too ambitious, I think he will definitely suffer when he enters the police station." Seeing that the young man was taken away, Qu Yuanyuan said worriedly.

"Why do you say that?" Xue Fei asked.

"Anyone who dares to collect protection money has a protective umbrella behind him, otherwise he would not be so bold. He acted bravely, ruined other people's good deeds, how could people let him go. ”

Xue Fei heard this, got up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

When he arrived at the bathroom and closed the door, Xue Fei took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiao Xuesen, the director of the Shili Town Police Station. On the phone, Xue Fei learned what happened in the Sauce Bone Pavilion with Qiao Xuesen, and told him to let his subordinates enforce the law impartially and never mess around.

Qiao Xuesen was at home when he received Xue Fei's call, and after listening to Xue Fei's story, he didn't have to think about it to know who was collecting protection money, although he didn't know what the relationship between Xue Fei and the person who beat people was, but Xue Fei called him personally, and he had to pay attention to it. After hanging up the phone, he was about to call the police station, but after thinking about it, it was better to go in person, anyway, his home was not far from the police station. However, he still made a call to the police station, because he was afraid that his subordinates would use force, and it would be difficult for him to explain to Xue Fei at that time.

The young man's name is Xue Jiaqiang, if it weren't for Qiao Xuesen's timely call, he would have been almost beaten, because the police at the police station asked him to admit that he was picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and if he didn't admit it, the police wanted to torture him to extract a confession.

The police on duty at the police station at night were very surprised when they received Qiao Xuesen's call, and it was very strange how Qiao Xuesen knew that they had just arrested a person and returned to the police station? It's even more strange that Qiao Xuesen actually came to the police station for interrogation in person, it is impossible for him not to know who the person who collects the premium is. Although it was not clear, Qiao Xuesen spoke, and the police on duty at the police station naturally did not dare to act rashly, so they could only wait for Qiao Xuesen to come over to deal with it.

After Qiao Xuesen arrived at the police station, he personally interrogated Xue Jiaqiang, and after learning Xue Jiaqiang's name, he decided that Xue Jiaqiang must be Xue Fei's relative, and both of them were surnamed Xue, which was definitely not a coincidence. Xue Jiaqiang's narration was exactly the same as Xue Fei's, Qiao Xuesen listened to Xue Jiaqiang's words, and released Xue Jiaqiang after making the record.

Qiao Xuesen let Xue Jiaqiang go, and the policemen who arrested Xue Jiaqiang all stared at him, expressing incomprehension. Qiao Xuesen, what's wrong with today, he actually let go of the person who beat Gao Lin, it's too abnormal.

The short and fat man who was beaten by Xue Jiaqiang is called Gao Lin.

Coming out of the police station, Xue Jiaqiang was also a little puzzled, why did he beat him before, why did he let him go again? And he didn't even let him pay for the medical expenses, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Xue Jiaqiang!" A voice came from behind Xue Jiaqiang, and when he turned around, it was Qiao Xuesen who had just interrogated him.

Qiao Xuesen walked a few steps quickly to Xue Jiaqiang's side and said with a smile: "I am the director of the police station, my name is Qiao Xuesen, you can go directly to the police station to find me if you have something in the future." In addition, I greeted Secretary Xue for me. After speaking, Qiao Xuesen left.

Xue Jiaqiang scratched his head, who is Secretary Xue? He didn't know any Secretary Xue.

At this time, Xue Jiaqiang's friend came over, his name was Fang Hui, and he was the one who ate with Xue Jiaqiang at the Sauce Bone Restaurant. He and Xue Jiaqiang grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is like brothers, Xue Jiaqiang was caught at the police station, he was anxious, but he didn't know what to do, because he knew Gao Lin's background, he couldn't afford to provoke him at all, he felt that Xue Jiaqiang entered the police station, he must have suffered, but the result was just the opposite.

Seeing that Xue Jiaqiang was safe and sound, Fang Hui was a little incredulous, he looked up and down and asked, "You weren't beaten inside?" ”

Xue Jiaqiang shook his head and said, "No." ”

Fang Hui frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, you provoked Gao Lin, how could you come out without anything." ”

Xue Jiaqiang was a little unhappy to listen: "Why, I have to be beaten, right?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I meant that you beat Gao Lin, how could Gao Lin let the people from the police station let you go. You don't know who Gao Lin is, who dares to provoke him in Shili Town, the police station is the same as his family, that is, you dare to touch him. But if you beat him up and disgrace him, will he be able to let you go? ”

"Actually, I wondered too." Thinking of what Qiao Xuesen said to him just now, Xue Jiaqiang said: "I was released by Qiao Xuesen, the director of the police station, and he told me just now that I would find him if I had something to do in the future, and also said that I would take it to Secretary Xue for him." You say I don't know him, so why should he be courting me? Besides, who is Secretary Xue? There is no official in our family, not even the secretary of the brigade. ”

"Secretary Xue?" Fang Hui's mind turned around and said: "As far as I know, there is only the town party secretary surnamed Xue in the town, his name is Xue Fei, do you know him?" ”

"I don't know, I've never seen it." Xue Jiaqiang had never heard of Xue Fei's name.

"This is strange, you don't know Xue Fei, why did Qiao Xuesen mention him?" Fang Hui couldn't figure it out.

"Are you sure Secretary Xue is the secretary of the town party committee?"

"I think it must be him, otherwise think about it, who can Secretary Xue be in Qiao Xuesen's mouth."

"You said that I was released, can it have anything to do with Secretary Xue?" Xue Jiaqiang felt that Qiao Xuesen would not mention Xue Fei for no reason.

"Quite possibly, otherwise I can't explain why you were released unharmed. I think you should go to the town government tomorrow to find Secretary Xue, thank you in person, and take this opportunity to have a relationship with Secretary Xue, otherwise Gao Lin is likely to trouble you again. Fang Hui suggested.

"I'm not afraid of him, and if I were afraid of him, I wouldn't beat him." Xue Jiaqiang said indifferently.

"It's hard for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, you're a good person, but sometimes you like to be too willful, this must be changed, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. Besides, you will have to mix in Shili Town in the future, you offended Gao Lin, if you don't have a backer, how will you mix in the future. Listen to me, go to the town government tomorrow to find Secretary Xue, and it's best to invite him to a meal. Got it? ”

"Okay, I got it."
