As soon as he finished speaking, two strong men came in carrying a huge wooden box and placed it heavily on the ground.
Everyone was startled and gathered around to guess what it was. As soon as Mei Changyuan saw the box, his calves felt weak.
Isn't this the container where he hid the medicine? How could Xu Wangtang discover it? Could it be that Han Baihang betrayed him?
As soon as the idea came up, Mei Changyuan denied it. There would be no benefit to Han Baihang by betraying himself.
How did Xu Wangtang discover this thing? Mei Changyuan was puzzled.
"Mayor Mei, this thing should look familiar to you!" Xu Wangtang looked at Mei Changyuan with a half-smile, and the pride in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
At this point, Mei Changyuan had no choice but to deny it to the end, squeezing his neck and saying: "I have never seen this thing before!"
Xu Wangtang seemed to have already expected that Mei Changyuan would deny it, so he did not panic at all and said slowly and leisurely: "Mayor Mayor Mei is busy with things, so it is normal for you to forget some things. I will help you recall it!"
Then Xu Wangtang said what he had made up, and the truth was mixed with falsehoods. Everyone was doubtful and looked at Mei Changyuan with a bit more anger.
Mei Changyuan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hands.
"Mayor Mei, you are secretly possessing banned drugs and smuggling them. I wonder how many years you can be sentenced for such a crime? And you know how to break the law, so you must be guilty of a higher penalty!"
In fact, there is more than one person secretly hiding banned drugs. The war is raging, the price of drugs has skyrocketed, and rich people are hoarding them. It is not strange.
It's just that there are some things that can't be done openly, and they're over as soon as they are revealed, and they can't be made explicit.
Seeing Mei Changyuan dripping with cold sweat, Xu Wangtang could not help but raise a smile and said: "Mayor Mei, from the first day you came to Yongcheng, I knew that you were wholeheartedly working for the welfare of the people of Yongcheng. It's just that.
That Han Baihang is so vicious that people have to be afraid of him, don’t you think so?”
Xu Wangtang's words hinted at Mei Changyuan, throwing all the blame to Han Baihang, and I will protect you from now on.
Mei Changyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had already forgotten all about the things he had promised Han Baihang last night, and he had already forgotten about any other hostages.
His officers were almost out of control and his life was almost gone, so how could he have the energy to care about the hostages?
After thinking about it for a while, Mei Changyuan rolled his eyes, squeezed out a few tears, and cried: "It's all that damn Han Baihang! After he came out of your place last night, he crawled into my house and not only robbed
He spent a large sum of money and took away my favorite concubine! I really had no choice but to speak for him!"
Mei Changyuan burst into tears, and everyone expressed pity and sympathy, and began to hate Han Baihang. No one asked anymore what happened to this batch of medicine.
Seeing Mei Changyuan's betrayal, Xu Wangtang was still very happy. After all, Han Baihang was now charged with one more crime, which was really great.
At that moment, Xu Wangtang slapped the back of his chair, stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, if Han Baihang is not eliminated, Yongcheng will not be peaceful for a day. In this way, I will compile a letter, you will sign your names, and we will give it to Wu Peifu and see what he does.
If Wu Peifu dares to protect his subordinates, we will publish it in the newspaper! Let the whole country see what kind of rotten people he has under Wu Peifu!"
Everyone cheered loudly, and the scene became lively. Xu Wangtang walked towards the inner hall to prepare documents. Before leaving, he secretly winked at Mei Changyuan.
Mei Changyuan understood and followed Xu Wangtang in. As soon as he reached the inner hall, Mei Changyuan's tears stopped immediately.
Xu Wangtang asked with a gloomy face: "Where is Han Baihang hiding now?"
Mei Changyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know this. He took my medicine and left the city."
Xu Wangtang frowned and said, "He didn't leave you any clues or contact information?"
Mei Changyuan sneered: "Do you think he will believe me?"
Xu Wangtang was at a loss for words. Even if he were to be himself, he would not be able to believe Mei Changyuan. Facts also proved that Han Baihang's choice was not wrong. Mei Changyuan was not worthy of belief at all. He would fall to whichever side was more popular.
"You, Han Baihang, won't fall into the hands of a bandit, will you?" Mei Changyuan really can't think of any other way out for Han Baihang. After thinking about it, it seems that the only way out is to fall into a bandit.
Xu Wangtang shook his head and said: "Impossible, Han Baihang is not a fool. If he really falls into the trap, there will be no way for him to survive. Without me taking action, Wu Peifu will kill him!"
When Wu Peifu was mentioned, Mei Changyuan felt a chill in his heart and said tremblingly: "You said we framed Han Baihang in this way, Wu Peifu won't trouble us, right?"
Xu Wangtang snorted coldly and said: "Wu Peifu is so busy now that he has no time to take care of an insignificant boy. So what if he comes, can he still destroy my Yongcheng city?"
"Then what are you going to do next?" Mei Changyuan looked at Xu Wangtang curiously, but his eyes were spinning, wondering what he was thinking about.
Xu Wangtang was about to speak, but when he saw those eyes, he immediately swallowed his words and said in a deep voice: "You should go back first. Remember, if Han Baihang sneaks in to find you, be sure to stabilize him. I will bring someone to the door.
Block him! Make it impossible for Tan to escape!"
Mei Changyuan was a little dissatisfied for not getting the plan out of Xu Wangtang, but he didn't show it. He nodded and responded: "I know what to do. But Han Baihang finally escaped from the city, isn't he looking for death when he comes back?
"
Xu Wangtang looked sideways at Mei Changyuan and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about it, just do as I say!"
Mei Changyuan was angry for a while, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, the control was in someone else's hands. After calming down, Mei Changyuan walked straight out of the house and returned home angrily.
As soon as he entered the house, Mei Changyuan became furious and smashed everything in the study.
The servants didn't know what was going on, so they stood aside tremblingly, not daring to step forward.
Mei Changyuan looked at the crowd of people standing there like quails, and became even more angry and cursed: "Get out! Get out of here!"
As if they were pardoned, everyone ran away in a hurry.
Mei Changyuan sat down angrily, but before he could sit firmly, a ghostly voice sounded.
"Mayor Mei, why are you so angry?"
Mei Changyuan's heart skipped a beat and he said in a trembling voice: "Han... Han Baihang?"
When Mei Changyuan turned around, he saw that familiar figure standing behind him, looking at him playfully.
