Chapter 871

The next day, Yang Xiaobao fulfilled his promise and went to Weijia villa on the Bank of Swan Lake to visit Weizhuang.

When he saw Yang Xiaobao, Mr. Wei was still as smiling as ever and took the initiative to reach out to Yang Xiaoshe.

Yang Xiaobao sat down on the sofa as if he hadn't seen it. Accompanied by the side of Wu Yuanqing face a little ugly, in the heart gave birth to a kind of not very good premonition: today's meeting is not so easy to stop.

Wei Zhuang didn't show any embarrassment and annoyance. He waved his right hand and asked the servant to come and replace it with warm tea.

"Xiao Yang, listen to Wu Yuanqing say that you've been hurt a little, don't you mind? Are you better now? " As an elder, Wei Zhuang was concerned about Yang Xiaobao's injury in the first sentence.

Yang Xiaobao said lightly: "it doesn't matter."

Wei Zhuang sat up straight with a serious expression: "Gao Sihai is a vicious criminal who has committed many crimes against the people. Twenty years ago, the Zhongzhou massacre made him escape from the net, which has always been one of my worries. The net of heaven is large and wide, but it lets nothing through. On behalf of the people of Zhongzhou city and the eight victims who have been brutally killed, I would like to thank you

Yang Xiaobao nodded his head slightly and said, "OK. In private, you have expressed your concern to me as an elder. On behalf of the people of Zhongzhou and the eight victims, you have already expressed your thanks to me. Both public and private are finished, so now we can get to the point? "

Wei Zhuang stood up and paced a few steps, went to the window, turned his back to Yang Xiaobao and said, "the reason why I invite you to meet me at home this time is to let you know that I didn't treat you as an outsider. I've always been a person with a clear distinction between public and private. Many loyal old subordinates who have been with me for decades have never come here to have a cup of tea. "

These are true facts. I met Wei Zhuang two or three times before, either in the ward of the army hospital or in the suite of the Hilton Hotel. This is the first time I have visited his home.

"Do you mean I should be honored to be invited here for a cup of tea?" Yang Xiaobao said lightly, "I'm sorry. I'm a rude man. I've never understood these empty headed things. I can only talk straight. "

With this remark, Wu Yuanqing's face changed slightly. He dared to be so rude and impolite in front of Wei Zhuang. He never saw it before, but he never thought it would happen.

Wu Yuanqing was about to open his mouth to make a round. Wei Zhuang waved to him not to interrupt.

Because of Gao Sihai's arrest, Wei Zhuang is in a good mood. He doesn't mind Yang Xiaobao's tone. He smiles and shakes his head: "I mean that I don't treat you as an outsider. Originally, I want you to have something to say and don't need to worry about it."

"That's good." Yang Xiaobao slowed down his tone and asked, "did you take that bead?"

Asked this, Yang Xiaobao stares at Wei Zhuang, paying attention to his reaction, "do you know what I'm talking about?"

"I took it." Wei Zhuang didn't pretend or try to cover up. He nodded his head and admitted it.

"How did you get it?" Yang Xiaobao continued to keep up with him.

"How to get it" is more important than "take it or not", which determines how bad the nature of the matter is.

"Young man, since you have already asked these two questions, you should have the answers in your heart. Why do you have to ask me?" Wei Zhuang pauses for a moment, stares at Yang Xiaobao and says faintly: "I'm old. Do I have to be judged by you?"

In Wei Zhuang's status, even if it was half a joke, it was very serious. His voice is not big, and he doesn't have a straight face, pretending to be dignified, but naturally exudes a kind of intimidating momentum that the superior controls everything.

An old and a young, two people with cockfighting like big eyes staring at small eyes, although has not patted the table, but the atmosphere is frozen to a dangerous point.

Wu Yuanqing can't sit any longer. He doesn't want to see Yang Xiaobao make Wei Zhuang angry and hurt his body. He doesn't want to see Yang Xiaobao fall out with Wei Zhuang. It contains not only his duties as Wei Zhuang's secretary, but also his selfishness as Yang Xiaobao's friend. He likes this young man very much. Although he is not popular with others, he has a kind of frankness and stubbornness, which is the most appreciated.

"Chief." Wu Yuanqing stood up and put in a word. He asked Wei Zhuang, "Xiao Wu hasn't eaten all day. Why don't you let her out? She has been banned for three days, and she knows that she is wrong... "

Wei Xiaowu was severely reprimanded by Wei Zhuang for hiring social gangsters to collect debts from Yang Xiaobao. He recruited her from school and banned her from going out. Wei Xiaowu thinks that his mistake is wrong, but obviously the credit is greater - it's not the two social gangsters sent to report to her, and the news that Yang Xiaobao was kidnapped won't spread so soon, so he's gambling on not eating these two days.

At this moment, Wu Yuanqing was worried that Wei Zhuang's anger did not ease, so he was furious. Although he won't do anything to save Wei Xiaowu, it's too ugly.

However, Wei Zhuang was not distracted by the fact that his granddaughter didn't eat. Instead, he gave a cold hand and motioned him to go out. Wu Yuanqing had no choice but to get up and go out and wink at Yang Xiaobao.

Yang Xiaobao just didn't see it. He gazed at Wei Zhuang and said faintly, "I'm not worthy of being tried. I just want to know the truth. "

Wei Zhuang sighed, softened his face, and shook his head: "not all things have the truth. Even if there is the truth, it is the truth twenty years ago. What's the significance?"

"No, it's not." Yang Xiaobao shook his head: "the truth is meaningless to you and meaningless to me. But for the dead, it makes sense. "

Wei Zhuang gazed at Yang Xiaobao for a long time without saying anything. His eyes showed a very complicated meaning, including some appreciation for his adherence to principles, and some complaints about the young man's obstinacy. After all, in some cases, sticking to principles and stubbornness are the same thing.

Yang Xiaobao is very patient, sitting on the sofa, holding the teacup in both hands, sipping gently.

"Good!" Wei Zhuang finally opened his mouth: "let me tell you, Gu Da gave it to me. I have a good personal relationship with him. He came to me with that bead in private and asked me to do him a little favor... "

Gu Da was the head of Zhongzhou circus in those years, and his family was killed by Gao Sihai.

Yang Xiaobao nodded: "Gu Da found Gao Sihai's switch, went to the door to expose him, and then promised to help him cover up the past. He's kind-hearted and generous, but he doesn't have the ability to return things himself - he's just the head of the circus, not the curator of the museum. It's as risky to repack things as to steal them. "

Speaking of this, he looked up at Wei Zhuang and said faintly.

"You're not the same. You're the mayor of Zhongzhou city. Whether it's a circus or a museum, you can't listen to your orders. As a leader at your level, even if you want to appreciate a cultural relic, the museum will send it to your home as soon as you make a phone call. As long as you return it in time after the appreciation, even if you don't return it. "

"As for changing a bag, it's even easier for you - what's more, it's good for the country and you don't have to suffer from conscience. Gu Da thought that you would not refuse such a fair and private thing without much effort. He must have asked you for help at that time, otherwise he would not have rashly promised to help Gao Sihai cover up the matter. "

Wei Zhuang was silent for a long time. He nodded his head slightly and sighed: "you're right. At that time, Gu Da came to me with the bead and told me something about someone who was found by him. He didn't say who did it, but I know it was the magician who performed at the opening ceremony of the cultural relics exhibition - I didn't know his name was Gao Sihai at that time, and I can't remember the name of an ordinary Magician - only he had this chance. "

He stopped for a moment, looked up out of the window, with a bitter smile on his face: "Gu Da asked me to help him and change the bead back quietly. You know what? As like as two peas, you were trying to convince me of the same reason as you said now.

"You promised him and left the bead." Yang Xiaobao said lightly, "but you didn't do it."

If Wei Zhuang, after agreeing to head Gu's request, uses his privilege as mayor to return the real goods. Then the next massacre that shocked the whole country will not happen. Gao Sihai may even change his mind, reflect on his greed and be a good man again.

Just from the above, Wei Zhuang is responsible. He didn't kill anyone, but an innocent family died because of him.

But Yang Xiaobao also understands that these are not important now. What matters is why?

Why does Wei Zhuang break his promise?

"Can you tell me, for what?" Yang Xiaobao gazed at the old face of Wei Zhuang, "as far as I know, you are not a money greedy person. Although an ancient large pearl unearthed is rare, you were already the mayor at that time. Your vision should not be so low that you would not be lost by such a little thing. "

Wei Zhuang turned his back to Yang Xiaobao and looked out of the window without saying a word.

"Then I'll take a bold guess." Yang Xiaobao laughed, "I think that bead must be very special, very special. Otherwise, Gao Sihai would not be able to pursue that thing even now. If it is really an ordinary precious cultural relic, with Gao Sihai's present wealth, let alone an ancient pearl, even a room will not be taken seriously. "

Wei Zhuang suddenly turned around, his eyes shining: "you come with me!"
