"Uncle Cao, do you always keep your iron gate closed? Why do neighbors come to visit you like this?" Qiao Liang walked into the small courtyard and asked casually.
"No one comes to visit our family, and no one dares to come to visit us." The old man whispered to himself.
Although the old man's voice was not loud, Qiao Liang heard it clearly and asked immediately, "Uncle Cao, what do you mean by what you just said? Why do you say that others dare not come to visit?"
The old man didn't say a word. After pouring a glass of water for Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun, he said, "After you drink the water, leave as soon as possible."
Qiao Liang frowned. The old man didn't welcome them in from the beginning, and he didn't seem to want them to stay any longer. There was clearly something weird here.
After the old man put down the water, he turned around and walked towards the living room. Only then did Qiao Liang notice an old woman sitting in the living room, who was staring at the cartoons on TV and laughing from time to time.
Is this Cao Qinming's insane mother? Qiao Liang thought to herself, based on what Wei Haoyun found out in advance, both Cao Qinming's mother and wife were insane, and the old woman in front of her was most likely Cao Qinming's mother.
"Uncle Cao, we are really Qinming's friends, come here to visit you." Qiao Liang said again.
When Wei Haoyun heard what Qiao Liang said again, he couldn't help but leaned into Qiao Liang's ear and said, "Secretary Qiao, we said we were here to visit, but we didn't mention anything. This is a bit unjustifiable."
Qiao Liang was stunned. He really forgot about this. He should have bought some fruit baskets on the way here. They walked in empty-handed and told people they were here to visit. It was indeed a bit unbelievable.
"Now that you're here, you can't go in vain. At least you need to understand some of the situation." Qiao Liang responded to Wei Haoyun in a low voice.
As soon as Qiao Liang finished speaking, the bathroom door next to the living room opened and a middle-aged woman came out.
The middle-aged woman's eyes swept across the faces of Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun, and she walked to the sofa and sat down expressionlessly. Qiao Liang took a closer look and found that the middle-aged woman's face was not expressionless, but her eyes had no expression at all.
, empty and lifeless.
"She is Cao Qinming's wife." Wei Haoyun told Qiao Liang. He had already been here once and knew the situation of Cao Qinming's family members.
Qiao Liang nodded silently. He saw Cao Qinming's father holding up a bowl and feeding his wife and daughter-in-law at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang looked serious and felt very heavy. It can be said that Cao Qinming's family has become like this, which can be said to be a huge tragedy. If there is no hidden secret in it, then no one can blame it, but if it is said that there are some artificial things that have been covered up.
The truth is definitely an outrage shared by humans and gods.
"Uncle Cao, they are mentally disturbed. Have you taken them to the hospital for a checkup?" Qiao Liang stepped forward and said.
The old man glanced at Qiao Liang and still said, "After drinking the water, you can leave."
Qiao Liang frowned, it was definitely impossible to let him leave like this, but seeing that the old man was busy feeding his wife and daughter-in-law, Qiao Liang stood aside and waited.
While waiting, Qiao Liang looked at the situation in the house. The decoration in the house was very ordinary, just like most ordinary rural houses. Looking at the age of this house, I am afraid it must be at least ten or twenty years old.
About ten minutes later, Wei Haoyun walked up and said, "Secretary Qiao, if he ignores us, can he keep waiting?"
Qiao Liang was about to speak when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then he saw a group of people rushing in. Before Qiao Liang could react, someone from the group of people rushing in shouted to him and Wei Haoyun, "It's them."
Two of them, the young man at the head said, "Come on, give me a beating!"
Damn, what is going on? The thought flashed through Qiao Liang's mind. He didn't even have time to think about it. He quickly stepped aside and a man rushed up with a steel pipe and almost hit him.
"Who are you?" Qiao Liang asked loudly.
No one answered Qiao Liang's words, but one more person attacked Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang cursed secretly and avoided the opponent's attack. He turned to look at Wei Haoyun and found that Wei Haoyun had knocked down the two of them. In Qiao Liang's eyes, There was a flash of surprise, Wei Haoyun was indeed the 'master' that Zheng Guohong had found. He had always thought that he had some skills, but compared with Wei Haoyun, he was really far behind.
Wei Haoyun knocked down two of them, and quickly came over to help Qiao Liang. With his bows drawn left and right, he immediately helped Qiao Liang get out of the siege. Moreover, most of the people hit by Wei Haoyun's fists squatted on the ground and couldn't get up for a while. It was obvious that Wei Haoyun's I don’t know how powerful the punch is.
"Xiao Wei, you can do it. I think with your posture, it's not a problem to fight one against ten." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Secretary Qiao, it's not that exaggerated." Wei Haoyun laughed.
"Stop it, me." Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the side.
Qiao Liang turned his head to look, his pupils shrinking violently. He was about to fight back, but he immediately stopped and saw that the young man who had just taken the lead was pointing a gun at them...
The young man holding the gun walked towards Wei Haoyun, raised his leg and kicked Wei Haoyun, cursing and saying, "What the hell, are you really good at hitting? Give me another try."
As the young man spoke, he kept kicking Wei Haoyun. Wei Haoyun's face was ashen, but he did not dare to move. The other party actually had a gun. This shocked Wei Haoyun, but he was more worried about Qiao Liang's safety. Zheng Guohong asked him I worked as a driver for Qiao Liang just to protect Qiao Liang, but this driver had only been working for less than half a month, and something happened to Qiao Liang.
"What do you do?" The young man at the head stared at Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun.
"This is exactly what I want to ask. What are you doing? Breaking into private houses, illegally attacking others, and possessing firearms. What you are doing is already a serious violation of the law." Qiao Liang said coldly.
"A serious violation of law? Who the hell are you trying to scare? In this Redwood Township, I am the law." The young man laughed and looked at his companions, "Brothers, don't you think so?"
The room burst into laughter, and everyone else laughed in agreement with the young man. A cold light flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes, "What a loud tone."
"I'm not only loud, but also brave. Believe it or not, I can kill you with one shot? The young man laughed wildly, turned around and walked towards Qiao Liang, and asked again, "Tell me, what do you do?"
"Brother Yu, I recognize him. This man has only been here during the day. I saw him being very sneaky during the day." A man pointed at Wei Haoyun and said suddenly.
If Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun had paid attention when they first entered the door, they would have noticed that the man was the person who just walked out of the next room.
After the young man at the head heard what the man said, he snorted coldly, "They are sneaky and definitely not a good thing. Take them away first."
When Qiao Liang heard what the other party said, he almost vomited blood. When he saw that these people were really not good people, he actually said that they were not good people.
"Come on, do you hear me?" Someone behind Qiao Liang pushed him and yelled.
"I am Qiao Liang, the newly appointed secretary of Daguan. I want to see who of you dares to make trouble." Qiao Liang's eyes were stern. At this time, he could only reveal his identity, otherwise these people would not know where to take them. Qiao Liang I don’t want to face unknown dangers.
Qiao Liang thought he could calm these people by revealing his identity, but he didn't know that these people didn't react much after hearing his words. The young man at the head was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You are the new kid in the county." The secretary here? Haha, I am also the new mayor in the city."
"..." Qiao Liang was speechless. He introduced himself to his family and his true identity, but the other party thought he was joking.
"Take this person away, why the hell are you still standing there?" the young man at the head shouted again.
"I'm warning you, I am County Secretary Qiao Liang. If you dare to mess up again, you will be responsible for the consequences." Qiao Liang said angrily.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm still the mayor." The young man grinned, walked towards Cao Qinming's father, and said harshly, "Old man Cao, let me tell you, if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of your house catching fire. "
The old man nodded dullly and said nothing.
Qiao Liang saw all this scene, but he was already pushed out of the house at this time. After the young man warned the old man, he also walked out. There was a large van parked at the door. Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun were both Pushing him into the car, Wei Haoyun did not dare to move because the other party had a gun. He was mainly worried about Qiao Liang, otherwise the young man's posture when holding the gun was loose and the other party turned his back to him to warn the old man. Wei Haoyun had every chance. He escaped and counterattacked, but Wei Haoyun did not dare to take this risk after all. If he was the only one, Wei Haoyun would never sit back and wait for death, but with the addition of Qiao Liang, Wei Haoyun was really trying to avoid danger.
"Where are you taking us?" Wei Haoyun asked.
"Shut your mouth." A man reached out and slapped Wei Haoyun on the back of the head.
Wei Haoyun was so angry that his face was livid, and he was bullied by dogs. Normally, he could fight five of these people around him, but now he didn't dare to act rashly because of worries.
Looking at Qiao Liang, Wei Haoyun looked worried. He was very worried about Qiao Liang's safety, and he didn't know what this group of people were doing and where they were taking them at this moment.
When Qiao Liang saw Wei Haoyun's expression, he couldn't help but cast a reassuring look at Wei Haoyun. Although the origins of these people were not known yet, Qiao Liang bet that these people would not dare to do anything to them. In the bright world, he did not believe in these people. People dare to kill people at every turn.
Qiao Liang and Wei Haoyun had their hands tied one after another, and the van started to drive away. When the car drove away, Qiao Liang saw that the young man holding the gun did not get into the car, but got into a white small car next to it. Car, because it was dark, Qiao Liang couldn't see the make of the car for a while.
In the car, the young man got in and took credit for a young man who was a few years older than him, saying, "Brother, it's all done. I don't know where these two strangers came from. I asked them to detain them." I'm ready to take them to the brick factory for questioning, and I'm sure I can find out their origins."
Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly and said, "Cao Qinming has been missing for more than a year, and I don't know who is still paying attention to his affairs."
