The old cobbler obviously had a guilty conscience. He smiled at Xu Yishan and begged: "Mayor Xu, I was taken advantage of, so I did such a stupid thing. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please forgive me, this old guy, for once."

Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Old Wang, you don't have to be so nervous. Since I invited you here, I should ask you clearly. You just said that someone else sent you here. Who is this person? Why did you ask you to do this?"

The old cobbler looked behind him to make sure no one was there, and then said in a low voice: "Mayor Xu, you don't know. There are many people who want you to leave Hongshan Town. They say you are a soft-spoken person.

Sociable.”

Xu Yishan was taken aback. He thought to himself, how come he has such an image in the minds of others?

"There is another theory..." The old cobbler hesitated and hesitated.

Xu Yishan encouraged him, "Old Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The old cobbler chuckled and said, "They said you are a prodigal. You blew up the Hongqiao Bridge and dragged Hongshan Town into the quagmire. Now that the bridge is being built, you stand up to dig into the pockets of the people. It's very bad."

Xu Yishan couldn't laugh or cry, he was angry and angry.

He thought, if he didn't blow up the bridge, would Hongshan Town still be there today? There was originally free assistance for building the bridge, but who refused the assistance and insisted on building it by himself in order to save face? Just build it by yourself. Who arranged for him to collect funds?

?

All of this seems to be aimed at him.

"Who are you talking about specifically?" Xu Yishan asked pretending not to care.

The old cobbler smiled slyly, "I can't tell who it is specifically. Anyway, this is what is being spread outside now."

Xu Yishan knew that if he continued to ask questions, the old cobbler might not be able to pour beans out of a bamboo tube and tell him everything.

The old cobbler is half a man, and is very tactful in his words and deeds. This time he sent his family to the town government, so there must be someone behind him to support him.

Otherwise, with Duan Yanhua's way of doing things, even if you lend the old cobbler three courages, he would not dare to stroke Duan Yanhua's beard.

Duan Yanhua has always attached great importance to the image of cadres and the majesty of the government. He does not tolerate any behavior of contempt or slander. For example, when Xu Yishan was splashed with urine and feces by Wang Meng, Duan Yanhua became furious after hearing this. He slapped the table and wanted to send Wang Meng to jail.

go.

So, who instigated the old cobbler to cause trouble?

Duan Yanhua is not at home, and the mayor Liu Wen is basically in the village checking work during this time.

Xu Yishan originally wanted to scare the old cobbler. If the old cobbler was not afraid, he would be ruthless and send the old cobbler to the police station. After all, what the old cobbler did made everyone angry.

Now that the old cobbler said such words, Xu Yishan no longer wanted to make the old cobbler uncomfortable.

He wanted to find out who was behind it.

No matter how he made insinuations, the old cobbler would grit his teeth and not reveal any useful information at all.

But one thing Xu Yishan is sure of is that this matter has nothing to do with Duan Yanhua.

Sure enough, after sitting for more than an hour, the old cobbler couldn't sit still.

His eyes were rolling, and he asked Xu Yishan tentatively: "Mayor Xu, if there is nothing else, can I leave?"

Xu Yishan shook his head and said: "Old Wang, where are you going in a hurry? Sit down for a while. I just called Meng Suo. Meng Suo said that he has a few questions and wants to discuss the situation with you."

When the old cobbler heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said in a panic: "What did the police station want to do with me? I didn't break the law."

Xu Yishan comforted him and said: "If you haven't broken the law, what are you afraid of? Just wait here with peace of mind. Meng Suo may not arrive for a while."

Xu Yishan said that he called Meng Liang, which was completely false.

He wanted to use this to test the old cobbler. Sure enough, when the old cobbler heard that the police station was looking for him, he immediately showed a guilty conscience.

Xu Yishan comforted him and put pressure on him. He pretended to be careless and said: "I heard that Wang Meng gave a very thorough explanation to the institute this time and told him everything."

The old cobbler asked cautiously: "What nonsense did my stupid son say?"

Xu Yishan smiled and said: "I didn't say anything else. It was probably just some trivial matters in your family. Wang Meng locked Ali up with an iron chain. I heard there are many stories in it."

The old cobbler was completely panicked.

He is not a person who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, he understands the stakes better than the average person.

Take the matter between him and his daughter-in-law Ali as an example. This matter can be big or small. If it is magnified, he may be put on a hat of shame for a lifetime and have to go to jail. In small terms, it is a family matter.

, at most it is a lack of moral aspects.

He obviously guessed Xu Yishan's thoughts. He asked tentatively: "Mayor Xu, if I tell you who asked me to come, can I go home?"

Xu Yishan smiled uncertainly. He knew that for a cunning person like the old cobbler, the more you wanted to know, the more secretive he would be. He would even use this as a bargaining chip.

The more Xu Yishan downplayed it, the more uncertain he became.

"Mayor Xu, I am an old fool. I shouldn't listen to him." The old cobbler said with a bitter look on his face: "He said that as long as you leave Hongshan Town, nothing will happen to you."

Xu Yishan said nothing, waiting quietly for the old cobbler to reveal the answer to the mystery.

The old cobbler had no intention of hiding it anymore. He told Xu Yishan in a low voice that it was Honghuang who asked him to bring his family to the government to make trouble.

Hong Huang said that after Xu Yishan came to Hongshan Town, his restaurant business plummeted. In the final analysis, it was all because of Xu Yishan.

One day when Xu Yishan was here, he always felt uneasy. Although Xu Yishan was just a small deputy mayor, Honghuang always felt that Xu Yishan was like a mirror or a sharp sword, able to shine through his soul and cut him off.

The desire for profit.

When the old cobbler said this, Xu Yishan was a little confused.

He has not been welcomed since he took office. He ate and drank in Hongshan Restaurant in Hongshan Town and he never said anything.

Although he had friction with Honghuang's younger brother because of Chunhua's sister-in-law's fried dough sticks stall, this did not affect his Honghuang's status in Hongshan Town.

The street vendors are still paying their dues. The young man from Honghuang is still walking sideways on Hongshan Street.

Honghuang told the old cobbler that one day when Xu Yishan was in Hongshan Town was the day everyone had nightmares. He threatened the old cobbler that judging from Wang Meng's crime, he might spend his whole life in prison.

The old cobbler was not worried about where his son would spend the rest of his life. What he was thinking about was when Ali would come home.

The old cobbler's reason was very good. Ali left behind two children who needed someone to take care of them.

Xu Yishan saw the old cobbler fidgeting and thought to himself that he already knew what he needed to know. He didn't care about taking care of the old cobbler for a while. So he said to the old cobbler: "Old Wang, take this person back and don't be confused again."

.If you are confused, you will suffer the consequences."

The old cobbler nodded hurriedly and smiled flatteringly.

After waiting for Xu Yishan to ask him to leave, he jumped downstairs like a rabbit, called his family to the car, and ran away with him.

Bai Yu came in, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mayor Xu, you are so awesome. You convinced the old cobbler with just a few words."

Xu Yishan smiled and said: "It's not that I can speak, but that I'm reasonable."
