The amount of alcohol allowed him to drink to a large extent. After Meng Jinxing came to Sangyu, he got drunk several times and gradually became accustomed to alcohol. This time he woke up after not sleeping for long.

"Drink less in the future, it's not good for your health!"

Lei Yunyao was taking a hot towel to wipe his face. Seeing him open his eyes, he immediately retracted his hand and tried to persuade him with a blushing face.

"I'm not talking nonsense, am I?" Meng Jinxing patted his head and sat up.

Lei Yunyao shook his head, then thought of something, and suddenly laughed: "Ha, you don't even talk when you are drunk. Your threat last time was just a lie to me!"

Meng Jinxing was stunned for a while before he remembered that what she was saying was that he used her pretense to threaten her cooperation, and then he laughed and said, "You are talking nonsense. When did I threaten you?"

"Oh, you are full of lies as soon as you wake up..."

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and whispered: "Thank you for what happened today!"

"I didn't do anything, so why thank you!"

"Comfort me?" Lei Yunyao said, "You said a lot of things against your will in front of these bandits, I can see it!"

Meng Jinxing waved his hand and got out of bed, put on his shoes, went to the table to pour water, drank it down, and then said: "If you don't talk about this, why did you lose the document?"

Lei Yunyao also walked to the table and sat down, and explained the reason for the loss. He noticed that Meng Jinxing had been frowning, so he asked: "Do you also think that someone did this on purpose?"

Meng Jinxing did not express his position, but asked: "Apart from the conflicts you had with the villagers because of Xiaofengshan, have you ever offended anyone else?"

Lei Yunyao shook his head directly and said no.

"Is it too late to make up for the formalities?"

"Excluding the two days of round trip, it should be done in three days."

Meng Jinxing looked at the sky outside, stood up and said, "I'll take you to wait for the bus. It's still too late to catch the last bus."

The two walked in tandem. Lei Yunyao looked at Meng Jinxing's tall back and asked him in a low voice: "You really don't want to tell me, what are you thinking of?"

Meng Jinxing turned around and smiled at her: "If you know too much, you will be unhappy. If a girl is unhappy, she will get wrinkles easily."

"Nonsense." Lei Yunyao gave him a stern look, "I know even if you don't tell me, there is probably someone who wants to monopolize Xiaofeng Mountain, and this person is probably related to the Liang family!"

Meng Jinxing sluggishly stopped, turned around and looked at her, and asked probingly, "Are you going to tell me about Liang Xiaoshan?"

Lei Yunyao's eyes suddenly turned gray, and the corner of his mouth trembled slightly. Meng Jinxing saw this and sighed secretly, "If you don't want to say it, just say it."

"Are you doubting?" Lei Yunyao suddenly looked at him with disbelief.

"No."

"You have!"

Meng Jinxing frowned and turned around to move forward. Lei Yunyao caught up with him and grabbed him and said, "You suspect that I was responsible for his death!"

"You think so, right?"

Lei Yunyao pulled him blankly, his expression extremely ugly.

Meng Jinxing looked around and saw that there was a stone at the entrance to the village where people were waiting for the bus. It was probably where people usually rested while waiting for the bus, so he dragged Lei Yunyao over, leaned over and wiped it with his hands before pulling her to sit down together.

.

"I remember that the first time I asked you about Liang Xiaoshan, you were very vague. Later, every time you mentioned him, you always made comments." Meng Jinxing looked at Lei Yunyao and said, "I

That time when Mu Tian came back from falling into a pit, it seemed that he was so frightened that I couldn't understand it at the time. Later I found out that Liang Xiaoshan had taken someone up Xiaofeng Mountain the night before he died and also fell into a pit. The difference was that I

He’s not crazy, he’s crazy.”

"Stop talking!" Lei Yunyao covered his ears with his hands and shook his head desperately.

Meng Jinxing lowered his head and looked at her and said, "He went crazy because of you, but his death was not entirely because of you!"

Lei Yunyao suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened in astonishment and said, "How do you know?"

"I visited Grandma Luo and found out that on the day Liang Xiaoshan died, you accompanied her to the county for medical treatment and did not come back until the next day."

Lei Yunyao finally lowered his head and said, "If he hadn't been frightened crazy, he wouldn't have gone to the game reserve and been thrown downhill by a wild boar to death."

"Did he fall to death?"

"you do not know?"

Meng Jinxing said, "I have vaguely heard something about it, but I am not sure. People in the village are very taboo about talking about Liang Xiaoshan's death."

"That's right. When Liang Hu and his son found him that day, he was naked. Naturally, the Liang family wanted to silence everyone."

"Do you think that even though I didn't kill Boren, Boren died because of me?" Meng Jinxing asked.

"I lived alone in the graveyard, and I set up a fake grave just for self-defense. Unexpectedly, it scared him crazy, and even caused him to slip and die in the end." Lei Yunyao spoke softer and softer, "Even though I knew he would not be able to climb the mountain that night.

I have good intentions, but after all, it is a human life, and I feel sorry for my conscience."

"Even so, you have repeatedly used fake graves to achieve your goals."

Meng Jinxing didn't want to say this at first, but Lei Yunyao's uneasy conscience made him feel that it was a bit fake, so he couldn't help but say it anyway.

"Is it okay if I don't do this?" Lei Yunyao looked up at him, "Except for you who really want to solve the problem and really think about the villagers, who among the village committee and the people in the township is not trying every means to drive me away?"

She held her head and said: "Not a day goes by without them trying to drive me away. Liang Xiaoshan's death gave them more reason to blackmail me and drive me away! The morning after his death, Liang Dashan took people

He went up the mountain and smashed the excavator and diesel generator, and then he came here almost every day during the day, sometimes in a group of people, sometimes alone, and even tampered with him when he was drunk. If it weren't for the people who helped with the work on Xiaofeng Mountain, he would have said

Maybe I’ll be early…”

She suddenly choked up, "I regret it sometimes, why do I have to suffer this!"

When Meng Jinxing saw her in this state, his heart immediately softened.

What Lei Yunyao said is also true. Everything is connected by cause and effect. Why didn't Liang Xiaoshan die in his own hands?

"Do you know why Liang Xiaoshan went up the mountain that night when he went crazy?" Meng Jinxing asked knowingly.

Lei Yunyao laughed with a hint of sarcasm, "Why? Of course you don't want me to contract Xiaofengshan! When I contracted it, the family named Liang didn't agree with it, but they didn't object either. However, as soon as word spread in the county,

After the news that Sangyu was included in the tourism development plan, they began to obstruct the relocation of the tombs, and then they often went to the mountains to cause trouble. Isn't this Sima Zhao's intention?"

"How did you get the development news?" Meng Jinxing asked.

Only then did Lei Yunyao realize that he had made a mistake, and quickly covered it up by saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to develop it? I guessed it based on the situation in other townships."

"You are very brave."

Before Meng Jinxing finished speaking, a puff of dust and smoke rolled up, and the creaking minibus stopped in front of them. Lei Yunyao quickly waved and got on the bus to avoid this topic.

Meng Jinxing continued to sit on the stone, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.

Regarding Liang Xiaoshan's death, he believed that Lei Yunyao was telling the truth, but there were still some doubts.

If Liang Xiaoshan’s series of actions were a reflection of the Liang family’s struggle for interests, then Liang Jingzong should be well aware of the cause of Liang Xiaoshan’s death, so why did he keep urging himself to investigate secretly?

Meng Jinxing carefully recalled the few instructions given to him by Liang Jingzong, and combined with the various situations after he arrived in Sangyu, the only judgment he could make was that Liang Jingzong wanted someone to take responsibility for Liang Xiaoshan's death, but who exactly did he want?

Bear on it, he still can’t figure it out.

If you want Lei Yunyao to take responsibility, then the purpose is self-evident.

If it were anyone else...

Meng Jinxing felt that if Liang Jingzong had not wanted to make Liang Xiaoshan's death play a role in the Jiang-Liang dispute, the responsibility of secret investigation would not have fallen on him.

Thinking of this, his fingers trembling while holding the cigarette.

After staying in Sangyu for three months, what I saw and heard the most was the prosperous future of the Jiang brothers and the declining trend of the Liang family name day by day.

Even Xu Li once secretly said that Mayor Liang is now a strong man on the outside but a capable man on the inside.

Under such circumstances, if Liang Jingzong wants to use Liang Xiaoshan's death to make a fuss, it will only be for money. If he has other political intentions, I am afraid that whoever helps him will become a scapegoat!

He stubbed out his cigarette, hurried back to the village committee, and called his father. He needed some advice.

Meng Qingping had not received a call from his son for more than a month. When he heard his hesitation, he sighed and said, "Xiaohang, this is the second lesson of your career!"

"Second lesson?"

"Yes. What you need to develop without dignity is your face, but if you want to become a successful politician, thick skin is not enough. You also need two major elements to complement each other!"

"What two?"

"Cruel and ruthless!"

Meng Jinxing's heart trembled violently. He could hardly believe that these words came from his always gentle father.

"Hard to accept?"

Meng Jinxing needed advice, but when his father really taught him the lessons of failure as experience, he suddenly discovered that his father was fundamentally just a politician.

Meng Qingping sighed again and said: "Xiao Xing, my failure is your best mirror. If you don't have a strong enough heart, you will make the same mistakes as me."

"Isn't there a better choice?" Meng Jinxing asked awkwardly.

"Why do you think He Qifeng has never been able to make a breakthrough in Sangyu? Why is he still at the grassroots level at his age?"

"There is a lack of opportunities."

"Wrong! In addition to his lack of opportunities, the main reason is that he is not ruthless enough!" Meng Qingping said, "One of Jiang and Liang must fall before Sangyu's pattern can be completely broken. If you don't do it, someone else will do it sooner or later! What's more?

, according to what you said, Liang Jingzong is not a kind person, and you are just using this opportunity to attack him in your own way..."
