He felt that this middle-aged man must be very strong, and he could feel invincible just by looking at him.
Just listen to the middle-aged man ask:
"This one looks a bit unfamiliar, where did he come from?"
Han Xiaosheng turned his eyes to Old Man Feng and Liu Daneng.
Before Liu Daneng could speak, Old Man Feng had already spoken:
"I know this little brother. His name is Han Xiaosheng. He has done business with our Baibao Pavilion. He is a reliable and honest man. I can vouch for this. Deputy Mayor Shi can rest assured."
Han Xiaosheng was shocked, this must be the father of Mr. Shi.
He glanced at Old Man Feng gratefully and repeated what he had said to Liu Daneng. Liu Daneng also helped with the conversation.
Deputy Mayor Shi was a little doubtful and wanted to continue asking questions, but the mayor next to him spoke:
"Okay, I know this young man too. There is no problem. But it is the dead man. Someone saw him sneaking away from the scene of the fire, but he kept saying that he was your son. I don't know what your explanation is? "
After saying that, the mayor's eyes were fixed on Deputy Mayor Shi's eyes, as if he wanted to kill the other person. It seemed that the conflict between the two was very serious and it was already obvious.
Deputy Mayor Shi's eyes averted for a moment, then he quickly calmed down, turned his gaze to the thin bamboo pole on the ground, and said calmly:
"My son died in the fire, and this man appeared near the scene again and sneaked away. I think he was a slave who turned against his master."
"Oh, since Deputy Mayor Shi has concluded that this person was plotting to kill Mr. Shi, then his family is also involved. Since he is dead, his family should sacrifice their lives for Mr. Shi."
"Come here, capture this man's family, take him to Deputy Mayor Shi, and execute him in public to vent his anger on Deputy Mayor Shi's son!"
A few people walked out of the crowd, accepted the offer, and hurried away immediately.
Deputy Mayor Shi looked at the mayor with a gloomy face and said:
"Mayor Fang, this is my family matter. I can handle it myself, so I won't bother you!"
Mayor Fang smiled coldly.
"Yeah?
I heard that this thin monkey even flirted with the horse thief.
Some time ago, someone under my command saw him having a secret conversation with a young man holding a folding fan. They were obviously very close.
According to my people, the young man with the folding fan looks very much like a leader of the horse thieves.
I don’t know why Mr. Ling still re-employs such a person. I think there must be something inside.
Although he was beaten to death, his family must know something about the situation, and they should ask questions after the meeting. "
Deputy Mayor Shi's face became more gloomy, and he looked at the dead man on the ground. Han Xiaosheng clearly saw a little panic in his eyes, but it quickly turned into murderous intent.
Mayor Fang didn't care. He led Liu Daneng and Old Man Feng towards Han Xiaosheng and talked to him cheerfully.
When Han Xiaosheng saw that Deputy Mayor Shi was not paying attention, he pulled Liu Daneng away and whispered in Liu Daneng's ear:
"Brother, I personally saw Mr. Shi having a secret conversation with the third boss of the horse thief."
Seeing Liu Daneng's eyes widening, he recounted what he saw and heard again, except that Han Yu didn't mention it.
Liu Daneng had an expression of disbelief. When Han Xiaosheng nodded in affirmation, he quickly called Mayor Fang and Old Man Feng over and asked Han Xiaosheng to say it again.
When Mayor Fang heard about the collusion between the Shi family and the horse thieves, he gritted his teeth, but did not have an attack. He just said:
"I have long suspected that this guy has bad intentions, but unfortunately this guy has a backer in the county. Without conclusive evidence, I can't touch him.
Although you have witnessed this with your own eyes, you are an outsider after all, so what you say is difficult to use as evidence. Unless you are caught on the spot, it cannot be used as evidence.
Since he has colluded with the horse thieves, there must be a conspiracy in the future. We can only take precautions and remain unchanged in the face of changes. "
Upon seeing this, Old Man Feng made a suggestion:
"I think we can use the trick to lure the horse thieves into a trap and catch everyone named Shi together."
Liu Daneng rejected his proposal because Mr. Shi, who had direct contact with the third master of the horse thief, was dead, and the horse thief would definitely be vigilant.
Han Xiaosheng did have a lot of ideas, but his personal force was too weak and he was quiet, so he kept silent.
The other three knew that he was responsible for what happened this time. They valued his adaptability and invited him to discuss countermeasures in private. Han Xiaosheng agreed.
While several people were chatting privately, there was a burst of chaos from the other end of the street.
Soon, the crowd in the street separated into a lane, and several people were pushed this way crying.
Han Xiaosheng took a closer look and saw that it was a large family, a middle-aged woman with two six or seven-year-old children, followed by two old people. They looked very pitiful, with bruises and swollen faces, and stumbled when walking.
Seeing Han Xiaosheng's sympathetic eyes, Liu Daneng introduced:
"Don't think they are pitiful now, you have never seen them so rampant.
They are the family members of this thin bamboo pole. This guy's surname is Fang. He was originally the descendant of Mayor Fang and the distant nephew of Mayor Fang. He used to live in Jinlin Mansion, which is adjacent to Tianfeng Mansion.
Later, due to some reasons, the man surnamed Shi was forced to almost lose his family and his family, so he fled to Longmen Town and took refuge with Mayor Fang.
Mayor Fang saw that the family was pitiful, so he took them in and helped them settle in Longmen Town, where they settled down.
Unexpectedly, because of the hardships suffered during the escape, the family felt ashamed of the thin bamboo pole, so they began to pamper and obey him, turning him into a second-rate son who brought harm to the village.
This thin bamboo pole was nicknamed "Skinny Monkey" because it looked like a monkey.
Although this kid has a bad image, he is actually very well-spoken and good at taking advantage of the high and low. He did a lot of bad things in the name of the mayor, so the mayor expelled him from Longmen Town. For this reason, the old couple He even turned against the mayor.
I thought that Longmen Town would be able to live in peace from now on, but more than ten years later, the boy actually climbed up to the throne of his enemy's son in Jinlin Mansion, and brought back a wife and a pair of children a few years ago.
Deputy Mayor Shi came to Longmen Town at that time, bringing with him the letter of appointment from the county magistrate.
With Deputy Mayor Shi as his backer, this thin bamboo pole became more and more arrogant. Together with his parents, wife, and children, they all ran rampant in the town and caused outrage. Five years ago, the mayor finally broke one of his legs and threw him out. Out of town.
This kid was born in the year of cockroach, but he didn't die. He followed Mr. Shi to Longmen Town some time ago.
Because he was worried about the mayor taking action, he always avoided Mayor Fang and did bad things secretly. He didn't expect to fall into your hands. "
Hearing Liu Daneng's words, Han Xiaosheng's sympathy for this family disappeared immediately. He originally came from a modern society and thought that the trouble would not be brought to his family, but after hearing what this family did, his sympathy disappeared. Compassion.
