In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the construction of expressways in remote areas. The expressway from the provincial capital to Shannan has been opened to traffic. There is no longer a need to go through the bumpy mountain roads like Duan Zetao did when he first arrived in Shannan. He used to ride on a clanking rag
The minibus was also replaced by a comfortable luxury bus. Seeing this welcome change, Duan Zetao's eyes showed joy.┌ |┐
The expressway is fast. The journey that used to take seven or eight hours now takes four hours. When we got off the expressway, there was a shed set up next to the provincial road in front of us. There were a few cool young people with tattoos on their bodies.
Sitting in the shed playing cards.
The bus driver cursed "That's a bitch." He parked the bus to the side, opened the door and ran out. He ran to the shed with a smile on his face, took out his cigarette, nodded and walked around in a circle.
, and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the young man in the lead. The young man nodded and waved, and the bus driver ran back and got on the bus again as if he had been granted amnesty.
Duan Zetao looked puzzled. He happened to be sitting in the back seat of the driver, so he asked doubtfully: "Brother driver, what were those people doing just now? Why did I see you paying them!! Look!
They are not like those from government departments,...".
The bus driver spat out the window and said angrily: "They are all the Fourth Master's people. They are a group of thieves. We have to pay them 100 yuan for every bus trip, and they will rob us all."
After running away, after a hard trip, sometimes I can’t even make back the gas money,..."
Duan Zetao was shocked and asked: "Aren't you going to refuse?"
"Don't pay!! Who dares? The fourth master has hundreds of cavalrymen. If you don't pay, they will smash cars and beat people. Several of our cars have been smashed, and several drivers can still be beaten."
In the hospital...".
Duan Zetao was even more surprised. This was too shocking. He exclaimed: "Who is this Fourth Master?! He is so arrogant! Doesn't the government department just care?"
The bus driver sneered: "Government departments! Government departments are all working with them. The Fourth Master is the biggest underworld leader in Shannan. He has also set up a huge group. They will intervene in any profitable business in Shannan."
First hand, I heard that he and Ruan Jingshan, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, are brothers. They wear the same pair of pants. Who can beat him!!..."
Suddenly the bus driver became alert, looked him up and down with squinting eyes, and asked suspiciously: "What do you do! Why are you asking about this!!".
"Oh, I just came back from working in other places, and I was just curious to ask..." Duan Zetao had stayed in Shannan for so long, and he spoke Shannan local fluently, so he immediately replied in Shannan dialect.
The bus driver then relaxed his vigilance, waved his hand and said: "Young man, don't pry if you shouldn't pry. If you offend the fourth master in Shannan, you will be dead..." and then ignored him.
Duan Zetao restarted the car and hit the road.
Duan Zetao couldn't help but frowned. It seems that the water in Shannan is very deep. This fourth master is so unscrupulously engaged in illegal activities. It seems that the protective umbrella behind him must be very strong. For Ruan Jingshan, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, he rarely
I don’t know much about it, and I don’t know if it’s true that the bus driver is colluding with evil forces as he said. It’s hard for him to draw conclusions before he fully understands the situation, so he’d better find out the situation clearly before talking.
The bus drove into Shannan City. Shannan City is much more prosperous than when Duan Zetao first arrived. There are many high-rise buildings. There are more cars and pedestrians on the street than before. It is lively, but it is more chaotic than before.
, cars, bicycles, trucks, and buses were mixed together, the horns were blaring loudly, and the noise made people dizzy. The journey from the expressway into the city to the bus station, which was only a few kilometers away, took more than half an hour.
, before arriving at Shannan City Bus Terminal.
After getting off the car, it was even more "dirty, messy and bad". The originally narrow sidewalk was occupied by vendors selling goods. The road was full of peels, waste paper and other garbage. It was necessary to wear
Walking through this stretch of road to get to the bus station is simply more difficult than the 25,000-mile Long March.
There were crowds of people everywhere, and behind Duan Zetao was a middle-aged woman who was dressed in a coquettish and charming manner. Seeing that Duan Zetao looked handsome, she wanted to seduce, and deliberately pushed the two huge balls of pork belly on Duan Zetao's back, pushing her back and forth.
The smell of inferior perfume is overwhelming
Duan Zetao wanted to sneeze, but in front of him was a bearded man. This man probably hadn't showered in a few days. The strong smell of sweat made Duan Zetao want to vomit.
The torture made Duan Zetao really horny.
After finally getting out of the bus station, Duan Zetao and the three of them felt a little hungry, so they decided to find a place to eat to fill their stomachs first. Duan Zetao didn't dare to go to the restaurant next to the bus station. It tasted bad, not to mention he liked to rip off customers, so he was mainly worried.
It's not hygienic. I have the impression that there is a restaurant called "Yingchunlou" on the street past the bus station that makes good dry-pot chicken and the business is also very good. It is always crowded with customers. Duan Zetao used to go there to eat whenever he came to the city for business.
, I just don’t know if it’s still open.
The reason why Duan Zetao was so impressed by the "Yingchun Building" restaurant was not only because the food there was delicious, but also because the proprietress there was a beautiful woman with a very charming appearance and a skin as white as cream. She always smiled when she saw everyone.
, showing two deep dimples when he smiles, which makes people uncomfortable
She was fascinated by her, and she was also very easy-going. Normally, she would take the initiative to give discounts to customers when they paid the bill, and sometimes she would even give them a dish or something. Business was so good that many people came here because of her. Duan Zetao still remembered her name.
, called Tian Yingchun, and the hotel was named after her.
I remember the first time Duan Zetao brought Fang Dongming here for dinner, Tian Yingchun enthusiastically called him "little brother" one after another. Finally, Fang Dongming couldn't help it anymore, "This is our County Magistrate Duan, not your little brother."
." Tian Yingchun blushed and was surprised that Duan Zetao became the county magistrate at such a young age. However, he remembered Duan Zetao from then on and would treat her with extra enthusiasm every time he came. Now that so much time has passed, he was afraid that she
Already forgotten.
Following the path in my memory, I quickly found the "Yingchun Building" restaurant. The appearance of the hotel has not changed much, but there are not many guests eating inside. Tian Yingchun is still there, but he is always smiling.
She was standing at the door to greet guests, but now she was sitting behind the cashier in a daze with a sullen expression on her face. Even Duan Zetao and the others didn't notice when they walked in.
Duan Zetao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the restaurant had changed chefs and the taste was not good, so the business had also deteriorated. But since he was here, it was hard to turn around and leave. At this time, Tian Yingchun also woke up and squeezed out a smile to greet him.
When she came up, she actually remembered Duan Zetao and said in surprise: "Isn't this County Magistrate Duan? You haven't been here for a long time. I thought you were transferred. You are a noble person, so you can sit in the box...".
Duan Zetao didn't expect that Tian Yingchun actually knew him. He couldn't help but admire her good memory. He laughed and said: "Boss Boss, you have a really good memory. I was transferred away and now I am transferred back. I have been thinking about your dry pot chicken."
Well, no, as soon as I come back, I will come to your place first. There are only three of us, so we can sit in the lobby..."
Tian Yingchun smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen you as a young county magistrate. Can you not remember..." He enthusiastically led Duan Zetao and the others to their seats. After ordering the dishes, they went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
There were not many customers, and the food was served quickly. Duan Zetao took a bite and found that the taste was still delicious. He became more and more puzzled as to why the business in the store had deteriorated.
At this moment, several burly men with tattoos came in from outside the store. When Tian Yingchun saw them arriving, Tian Yingchun's face immediately changed and he stood up nervously.
The leader was a tall middle-aged man with a blue dragon tattooed on his arm. He slapped the bar with his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Tian, I'm here to collect the protection fee."
Tian Yingchun looks soft and easy-going, but in fact has a strong temper. She said angrily: "You have come here three times this month, and you have scared away the customers in my store. Without business, how can I give you money? Do you want any money?
It takes a life."
The man with the green dragon tattoo said with a sinister smile: "Boss Tian, don't hold on, our fourth master has taken a liking to you, that's your blessing, as long as you nod your head, you can immediately follow our fourth master's popular drink
It’s so spicy, why bother opening a restaurant here?…”
Tian Yingchun bit her lower lip with her teeth until it turned white, and angrily said: "You let the man named Li give up on this idea. Even if I die, I will not do such a shameless thing."
The man with the green dragon tattoo said fiercely: "Since you don't drink wine as a penalty for toasting, don't blame me for being rude." Then he waved his hand to the few horses behind him and said: "Smash it for me, remember not to do it.
If you hurt this little girl, otherwise the fourth master will blame you...".
When the horsemen were about to take action, Duan Zetao on the side couldn't sit still anymore and shouted, "Stop." He came over with Hu Tielong and Wu Yuejin, and angrily yelled at the man with the green dragon tattoo: "In public."
Under this situation, you dare to damage personal property and interfere with the legitimate operation of the hotel. Is there any law against this?"
The man with the green dragon tattoo looked at Duan Zetao and the other two people up and down, and said angrily: "Hey, where did you come from? Stay off your own business, or I will make you regret having been born in your mother's womb."
Tian Yingchun said anxiously: "County Magistrate Duan, don't worry about this. There are people above them, you can't fight them..." He took out a few hundred dollars from the drawer and handed it to the man with the green dragon tattoo: "
There’s only so much, do you want it or not? Forget it if you don’t want it.”
The man with the blue dragon tattoo was also shocked when he heard that Duan Zetao was the county magistrate, but he was still very arrogant and sneered: "It turns out that he has climbed up to the county magistrate's high branch. No wonder, let me tell you, our fourth master's backstage is better than his
The official is high and the county magistrate is not easy to use." After all, he did not dare to use force anymore. He took the money handed over by Tian Yingchun and walked away with his men.
