"If you want to obtain first-hand information, you must conduct an on-site investigation." Chen Qingyun looked at Zhang Xing and the governor who were puzzled: "It would be time-consuming and laborious to send the comrades below to investigate. We can make a decision on the spot if we go there in person."
"What does Minister Qingyun mean, let's pay a private visit incognito?" Zhang Xing understood that Chen Qingyun was really interested in Liu Meng's affairs. He deliberately reminded Chen Qingyun, but he still swallowed his words.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Chen Qingyun is young and energetic. If he doesn't speak well, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect.
The governor's thoughts were not much different from Zhang Xing's. He also acted like a gourd and followed Chen Qingyun into the clothing store. The three of them all changed into the characteristic clothes of the local mountain people.
"I never thought I would dress like this." Zhang Xing's belly was slightly bulging, which made her feel a little awkward.
The governor smiled and said: "Secretary, you are not like a mountain person. If you carry a burden, you will look like a mountain salesman."
Zhang Xing scolded: "Looking at your dark appearance, you are not much different from a savage."
"Don't you want to drive?" The governor is a local, but is not familiar with Datian Village.
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "It's two or three miles away, so let's go for a walk." He didn't tell the truth: if he went on the Qingfei ship, it would be better not to change his clothes.
Ma Tou Town is very small, and it takes about ten minutes to leave the town. After walking for a distance along the county-level road, turn onto a gravel road, and then walk on a country road for about ten minutes. At the foot of the mountain in front of you, there is a long
slippery house.
"Minister Qingyun, have you been here?" The governor still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked as tactfully as possible.
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "I passed by and saw the road signs on the side of the highway."
"I have such a good memory." The governor just sighed when two young people appeared under the big tree on the roadside.
"Three old customers, you are really lucky. Our village is holding a happy event today, and we invite three old customers to join us."
Chen Qingyun turned to the governor and asked: "Is there a custom in Ma County of inviting strangers as guests?"
The governor shook his head: "Maybe there are some in the mountains."
The young people blocking the road understood. One of them, a young man with a harelip, laughed loudly in a voice that leaked from the wind: "Custom, this custom is in Datian Village. It was decided by our boss."
Zhang Xing stepped forward and wanted to scold the young man, but Chen Qingyun stopped him. At this time, Chen Qingyun already believed the note.
"Since it's a treat, let's go and join in the fun."
"Qingyun Department..." As soon as Zhang Xing said a few words, Chen Qingyun interrupted him: "Brother Zhang, it is our luck to do as the Romans do."
Zhang Xing and the governor didn't know what kind of medicine Chen Qingyun was selling in his gourd, so they had to follow Chen Qingyun with their heads covered.
Datian Village lived up to its name. The group of people walked for about thirty minutes before crossing the endless fields and arriving at the foot of the mountain with houses.
The three of them had their own thoughts, no one spoke, and they quietly looked at the situation in front of them. This was a rolling hill, with a clear stream at the foot of the mountain. The villagers' houses were built at the foot of the mountain beside the stream.
A long stretch of residential houses was built following the trend of the mountains.
Most of the private houses in Datian Village are short bungalows built of mud bricks, and occasionally a few two-story red brick buildings are seen.
Two young men led Chen Qingyun and others to an open mountain col. When they turned around the foot of the mountain, they saw a very grand courtyard and a three-story small foreign-style building in front of them.
The open ground in front of the small foreign-style building was filled with Eight Immortals tables. People came and went, and from time to time there were voices calling children and girls, making it very lively.
On the right side of the open space, several large golden stoves were filled with steamers, steaming out. A dozen masters were waving ladles and shouting non-stop.
In front of the gate of the small foreign-style building, a man with a beard wearing a big red flower on his chest and a red face stood with his hands on his hips, constantly greeting the villagers who came to congratulate him.
The young man waved to Chen Qingyun, came to the long platform covered with red cloth, and said in a leaky voice: "Our boss is celebrating a happy event, please invite three old guests to join us."
Chen Qingyun simply pretended to be stupid and said generously: "Okay, the three of us will take the gift of one hundred yuan."
"Old customer, you don't know how to play tricks on me, do you?" Haru Chuan shouted angrily: "We brothers have been waiting for you for a long time, so we finally gave you a hundred yuan, but you couldn't afford it."
Zhang Xing and the governor realized something was wrong and stepped forward to identify themselves. Chen Qingyun glanced at the two of them, and both of them felt huge pressure rushing towards them at the same time. When the two experienced it carefully, the pressure felt strangely
Disappeared without a trace.
"That's okay, just two hundred." Chen Qingyun said boldly.
Tu Chuan was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Chen Qingyun in the face, cursing in his mouth: "Little bastard, looking at your tender skin and tender flesh, you must be the son of a wealthy family in the mountains. You came here to make us cry about your poverty."
If Chen Qingyun was slapped in Daejeon, not only would his skin suffer, but what's worse, the impact would be so bad that it would even affect Chen Qingyun's reputation.
Zhang Xing was about to step forward and scold Hachai, but he didn't expect Hachai's hand to hang down softly as soon as he waved it halfway: "It's really weird, I didn't catch the cold."
It turned out that at the moment Tulip waved his hand, Chen Qingyun blew out a trace of true energy from his mouth and hit Tulip's arm silently. It would not take a year and a half for Tulip's arm to return to normal, which was considered rude to him.
punishment.
"Brother, what do you think is appropriate for us?" Chen Qingyun hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only continue to perform.
Hare Lip kept stroking his arms, and his voice became even more leaky: "How much, how much? One thousand is never too much, and two thousand is never too little."
Someone nearby reminded Hare Lip: "Brother Rabbit, one thousand is never too little, and two thousand is never too much."
"Go, go, go away. You don't need to worry about the guests I brought here."
Chen Qingyun readily took out two thousand yuan bills. Zhang Xing and the governor watched anxiously and did not stop him. They also realized that the so-called happy event must be Liu Meng's opportunity to make money.
If it is just an opportunity to make money, the problem is not very serious. I am afraid that Liu Meng will not understand and do something more outrageous.
The more you fear something, the more likely it will come. Before Zhang Xing and the governor could finish their thoughts, another embarrassing scene happened before their eyes.
A peasant woman in shabby clothes, carrying a small bamboo basket with more than ten eggs in her hand, walked timidly to the red cloth platform.
"Brother Rabbit, congratulations to the branch secretary for being elected as the provincial representative. This is a little bit of my thoughts. Please help me register."
Hare Lip grabbed the peasant woman's bamboo basket and threw it to the ground: "***, Brother Rabbit is also what you called me. If you're going to mess around with a few eggs, you should at least catch a big hen."
"Rabbit, this old lady is obviously messing with you, you think you are a devil." Several young people sitting in front of the platform to receive gifts couldn't help laughing.
Hare Lip pulled the peasant woman away angrily: "You bastard, you're a disgrace."
Chen Qingyun whispered a few words to Zhang Xing, and Zhang Xing reluctantly walked out of the open space and came to the creek.
It was estimated that the villagers had almost arrived, so Liu Meng shouted loudly: "Brothers, start playing tricks."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen young people shouted in unison: "Hey, let's have some fun."
A young man with a strong spirit stood up first, made a circle bow in all directions, and then performed a set of Southern Fist, with ups and downs of moves, which were fierce and fierce.
Then there was a two-person sparring, with fancy fists and kicks, which was much better than the boxing skills just now, but Chen Qingyun knew that the one who really had some skills was the young man just now.
One after another, Chen Qingyun paid attention to the reactions of the villagers. Many people grinned heartlessly, more villagers had sullen faces and said nothing, and a few villagers were expressionless, but Chen Qingyun probed
Look, what these people are exuding is actually strong resentment. Only a dozen people are really happy.
Before the move was over, there was a sudden commotion on the open ground. When Liu Meng saw the newcomers, he rushed in front of them without hesitation, swung his fist and grabbed the leading girl in front of her chest.
