Xia Jian and Wang Youdao met on a narrow road, and they had a war of words for a while.

With so many people following him, Xia Jian felt a little like bullying Wang Youdao. He turned to Chen Erniu behind him and said, "Take everyone back, remember to get up early tomorrow, let's go to the breeding factory to set off the cannon."

Chen Erniu responded, and walked away quickly with the group of people behind Xia Jian. The dim street lights stretched Xia Jian's figure very long. Wang Youdao let out a long breath, and suddenly said to Xia Jian: "My brother and they drank too much, I'm afraid that you will fight."

"Humph! Do you still think I'm Xia Jian a few years ago? Xia Jian asked Wang Youdao rhetorically.

Wang Youdao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one and handed it over and said: "I definitely don't think so, you are now the mayor of Pingyang Town, and you are also a local parent official anyway, I think you should still have this ideological awareness!" “

Xia Jian was stunned for a moment, and then took the cigarette handed over by Wang Youdao. Wang Youdao himself took one in his mouth, and then lit it for the two of them.

Xia Jian knew that this Wang Youdao was the same as him on weekdays, and he didn't smoke. During the Chinese New Year, those of them who don't usually smoke will also learn to smoke two cigarettes from those who smoke.

"How? You don't stay in the provincial capital very often! Where should not be your battlefield" Xia Jian took a puff of his cigarette and suddenly asked Wang Youdao.

Wang Youdao glanced at Xia Jian, and suddenly smiled and said: "Things in officialdom are not as simple as you think, you are now considered to have stepped into our ranks, and there are some things that you will slowly understand." It's not enough to have ambitions, you are nothing if you don't have opportunities, no one supports you."

Although Wang Youdao's words were not chewed carefully, Xia Jian could also understand them. He already knew from the ups and downs of Wang Youdao, Ouyang Hongneng and Chen Jiang that taking the road of officialdom was like walking on thin ice.

"Xia Jian! I underestimated you a few years ago. It's only now that I understand you, you are a person who does great things, so the grievances of the previous generations of our two families should be turned over, and they should not continue on us" Wang Youdao said, stretching out his big hand in friendliness.

Xia Jian was stunned, he never thought that this Wang Youdao would suddenly do this. But people took the lead in expressing this attitude, and he couldn't do without action. Xia Jian hesitated and stretched out his hand, and the two of them held each other tightly. This means that the grievances between their old Xia family and the old Wang family for many years have been turned over at this moment.

At this time, a man suddenly rushed out of the gate of the mountain temple, and as soon as he saw Wang Youdao, he shouted loudly: "Oh no! Wang Lao is crooked."

"What? Did he drink too much? Wang Youdao asked in a broken voice.

The person who ran out was none other than Wang Youcai's dogleg Chen Gui, he glanced at Xia Jian, and said with a little hesitation: "He had a fight with Youfa, but he sat on the ground and gasped for breath for a while, and then he never got up again."

"What nonsense are you talking about, how can he fight with his big brother? Is there a mistake?" Wang Youfa was so anxious that his voice was out of tune.

Chen Gui shook his head and said, "That's right, it was the two of them who hugged each other and fought just now" Before Chen Gui's words fell, Wang Youdao rushed towards the mountain temple.

Xia Jian, who reacted, also hurriedly chased after him.

In the courtyard of the mountain temple, a group of people surrounded the old man who fell to the ground and shouted crookedly. Wang Youdao pounced, and he separated the crowd. Wang Lao, who was lying on the ground, did not move.

Wang Youfa squatted on the ground stupidly, his face expressionless. Wang Youcai desperately grabbed Wang Lao's crooked collar and shouted: "Uncle Wang! Don't be scary, you're fine, aren't you? You're going to wake up, aren't you? Wang Youcai was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Xia Jian pushed Wang Youcai away, hugged Wang Lao crookedly in his arms, and then stretched out his two fingers and touched him under his neck, and found that the pulse had completely stopped beating, which meant that the person was dead.

Wang Youdao was very smart, and as soon as he saw Xia Jian's face, he understood what was going on. He said loudly: "Uncle Wang may be suffering from a sudden illness, you should quickly notify his family to come over."

Although Wang Laowei said that he did not do his job, he was also a member of Xiping Village. There are many things he has done, which makes Xia Jian remember it vividly. He couldn't die like this, because just now Chen Gui said that he died after a fight with Wang Youfa.

"Slow! This matter cannot be handled in this way, and the case must be reported. Let the police come over to check what caused Wang Lao Crooked's death," Xia Jian said, and put down Wang Lao Crooked in his arms.

The three brothers of the Wang family immediately turned green when they heard this, as long as Xia Jianyi called, this matter would definitely have nothing to do with their old Wang family. The first is drinking, and then there is a fight with Wang Youfa. Even if he was suffering from a sudden illness, fighting and drinking were the real causes of Wang Lao's death.

"Mayor Xia! I don't think there's any need to deal with this matter in this way. You are the mayor of Pingyang Town, and you can definitely handle this matter," Wang Youdao said to Xia Jian in a low voice.

If Wang Youdao didn't mention that Xia Jian was the mayor of Pingyang Town, maybe he would be moved by compassion, but when Wang Youdao said this, he reminded him Xia Jian. He is now a state cadre, and he must not do such a thing.

Xia Jian decisively took out his mobile phone, and made a call directly to the mobile phone of Lei Yu, the director on duty in Pingyang Town. As soon as Lei Yu heard that someone was dead, he immediately said that he rushed over.

Xia Jian's phone call angered the three brothers of the Wang family. Wang Youcai pointed at Xia Jian's nose and scolded: "Xia Jian! Don't fucking fall into a hole, aren't you just a broken mayor? Do you have to take care of such idle things? “

"The king is rich! As far as the facts are concerned, I am not only the mayor of Pingyang Town, but also the head of Xiping Village. Since this has nothing to do with your eldest brother, what are you nervous about? Police, he will not indiscriminately wronged good people," Xia Jian said confidently.

Wang Youfa only stood up at this time, he trembled and shouted, "Xia Jian! You're a fucking bastard, what do you think in your heart, you think I don't know, aren't you just looking forward to me going in? …“

"While squatting and drinking some cat urine, you don't know what your last name is?" Wang Youdao shouted, he interrupted Wang Youfa's words, he knew that if Wang Youfa continued to talk about it, he would definitely talk about Xia Jian and his wife Song Fang. This is not a glorious thing, but an ugly thing to lose the face of their old Wang's family.

But people like Wang Youfa are forced to care about nothing. Fortunately, Wang Youdao stopped him immediately, otherwise this guy would have become more and more disagreeable. He was the one who wanted to lose Xia Jian, but he didn't expect that this would also lose the people of their old Wang family.

Soon, Mr. Wang's family rushed over, and his wife and daughter-in-law fell to their knees crying. His son grabbed Xia Jian's hand and said, "Mayor Xia! You happen to be here, and you have to be the master of this matter for our family. If the murderer is not brought to justice, our whole family will die in the village council."

"Rest assured! You advised them not to move the body, I have already called the police. As soon as the police come, they will give your family a satisfactory answer," Xia Jian said with a very heavy heart. He really didn't expect that there would be dead people on this Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

Soon, someone told Zhao Hong, and she rushed over with Chen Erniu, Xia Sanhu and several cadres in the village. Zhao Hong is very experienced, she immediately asked several village cadres to maintain order and protect the scene.

I don't know who told Wang Degui, he ran over on crutches, followed by his wife Chen Yueqin, and two daughters-in-law. For such a big event, the whole family should be dispatched.

When Wang Lao's crooked son saw Wang Degui coming, he pounced, pulled Wang Degui's clothes and shouted: "My father was beaten to death by your son, and your son has to pay for his life." Don't rely on the money and power of your family to do anything wrong this time, Mayor Xia has already reported this matter to the police."

When Chen Yueqin heard this, she fainted on the spot. The two daughters-in-law were busy for a while.

Wang Degui's face was pale, his lips moved, and he walked directly to Xia Jian's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Mayor Xia!" Can we deal with this privately? This alarmed the police and made it a big problem."

"I really can't do anything about this, I have already called the police, and the police believe that they will come soon. As for what kind of result it is, it's really not up to me to have the final say," Xia Jian patiently persuaded Wang Degui. After all, he is also old, you said that this is the New Year, and his son actually had such a thing.

From Pingyang Town to Xiping Village, it is more than ten minutes' drive. As he spoke, Lei Yu had already arrived in a police car. As soon as he got out of the car, he learned a few words at the scene, he first asked people to protect the scene, and then immediately controlled Wang Youfa to the car.

What made Xia Jian feel strange was that a timid person like Wang Youfa should have escaped earlier, but he actually squatted and didn't move. In fact, Xia Jian really didn't know, as soon as this happened, Wang Youfa's legs were scared and weak, and he could run.

Chen Yueqin, who woke up, cried and made a fuss, she thought that all this was caused by Xia Jian, if Xia Jian hadn't played this drum, his son would not have caught up with the mountain temple, and Xia Jian should not have reported the case.

She kept rushing to Xia Jian's side, but fortunately, the two daughters-in-law pulled her. But her cry resounded throughout the sky above Xiping Village. On Chinese New Year's Eve, listening to such a sound always feels uncomfortable.

Lei Yu kept contacting the Dai City Public Security Bureau, and after he hung up the phone, he yelled at Chen Yueqin loudly: "Can you not cry?" Why are you in a hurry before the matter is decided? “

"What you said lightly, the person who was arrested in the police car is my son, this is all caused by Xia Jian, you join forces to clean up our old Wang family" Chen Yueqin did not give up, shouting at the thunderstorm.

Lei Yu's face changed and said, "If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude." What's wrong with Mayor Xia calling the police? Not to mention that he is a town cadre, it is also his obligation to be a villager. If you think what I'm saying is wrong, you can ask your second son! He's also a leader."

Wang Youdao was named by the thunderstorm, and he came over and said to Chen Yueqin in a cold voice: "Mom! Don't mess around, don't you think it's a big deal? Wang Youdao said, giving Song Fang and his wife a look.

The two women walked out of the gate of the mountain temple with Chen Yueqin on their feet.

Such a thing happened in the village on Chinese New Year's Eve, in fact, everyone's heart was uncomfortable. However, to Xia Jian's great surprise, Wang Lao's crooked son was very resolute this time, and he must ask the forensic doctor to autopsy his father's body and find out the real cause of his father's death. The police of the city bureau quickly rushed over and immediately launched an investigation and evidence collection on the case.
