"Laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes?" Xia Meng raised her eyes and looked at Yang Heng.

"What does Assistant Yang think of himself?"

Facing Xia Meng's aggressive gaze, Yang Heng subconsciously looked away.

"What do you care what I think of myself as? In this era, the rich are the boss!"

"Without money, people will really starve to death."

Xia Meng, "I've read Assistant Yang's profile. Your family isn't poor. Your parents are both working, and although they're retired now, they have a very good pension. And you're very capable. Your salary isn't very high, but at least you don't have to worry about food and drink, and your benefits are very good. Anyway, you're all living a very good life."

When Yang Heng heard Xia Meng's words, he laughed disdainfully.

"Governor Xia, you are so naive," Yang Heng looked at Xia Meng with a loud, deep, and insightful look, as if Xia Meng was a child who knew nothing.

"Governor Xia, what worries us most is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of its distribution. Isn't that human nature?"

“Since I can get more and enjoy more, why shouldn’t I enjoy it?”

"If you don't accept what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences!"

"Aren't people born equal? ​​Why can they be high and mighty, do whatever they want, and enjoy a life of wealth and glory, while I can only be an obedient slave?"

Yang Heng spoke with great confidence, his voice resounding, as if this was the way the world should be.

Xia Meng's eyes were always cold, as if she didn't take Yang Heng's words to heart.

Yang Heng noticed it and he was very happy.

"Did I say something wrong, Governor Xia?"

Xia Meng, "Can you please stop saying such shameless things with such a high-sounding face?" Xia Meng looked at Yang Heng with an indescribable expression.

“I feel like throwing up!”

As soon as Xia Meng said this, the expression on Yang Heng's face froze.

"The reason why I asked you to follow me now is that I think you know what's going on."

Xia Meng has no people of her own in Tangzhou. Although Yang Heng is shameless, judging from his words and deeds, he is not completely leaning towards either side. He is a bit of a fence-sitter.

Xia Meng had no roots in Tangzhou, and did not dare to conclude that if he got rid of Yang Heng, he would recruit someone better than Yang Heng, so he just let Yang Heng exist.

But this does not mean that Xia Meng has taken a fancy to Yang Heng or anything. Xia Meng has not found any evidence of their crime yet. Once she finds the evidence, no matter whether it is Yang Heng or Li Heng, she will put them in jail.

Although Yang Heng and Xia Meng are not of the same mind, he has been in Tangzhou for many years and knows the situation in Tangzhou very well. Xia Meng can also learn some about the situation in Tangzhou through him.

"Governor Xia, do you think you have a chance of bringing down Boss Fan?"

"Not to mention that Boss Fan is a local and has a wide network of contacts in Tangzhou, even if you catch him, what can he do? They have plenty of ways to exonerate themselves, just like this time."

“They don’t care!”

Xia Meng looked at Yang Heng, "I know," after thinking for a while, Xia Meng said,

"I will try to find evidence of their crimes."

"Don't dream," Yang Heng disagreed, "Governor Xia, you know nothing about their abilities. You won't be able to find them."

Xia Meng crossed her arms over her chest, "What if I can find it?"

The look in Yang Heng's eyes when he looked at Xia Meng was clearly filled with distrust.

"Governor Xia, do you think you are extraordinary?" Yang Heng stared at Xia Meng with a serious gaze.

Xia Meng pulled the corner of her mouth, "I don't think so. Don't impose your ideas on me. You can't guess what I think, and you don't need to guess. As for what you think, I don't care."

"As for you," Xia Meng said, "if you still want to stay by my side, then do your job well. If there is any mistake in your work, I will not cover it up for you, and I will not show mercy to you."

Yang Heng pursed his lips, "...I know!"

As soon as Yang Heng left, Xia Meng's face immediately darkened.

Thinking of Fan Wei's recklessness and arrogance, the anger in Xia Meng's heart rose uncontrollably!

Damn!

She must find evidence of Fan Wei's crime and bring them to justice.

In the evening, Xia Meng got off work and got in the car to go home. Not long after the car drove out of the compound, Xia Meng found someone following her.

Xia Meng glanced at Lao Wei, but Lao Wei didn't seem to notice.

Xia Meng looked out the window and saw the street stalls. She suddenly said,

"Old Wei, stop!"

Old Wei slowly parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at Xia Meng.

"Governor Xia, what's up?"

Xia Meng smiled at Lao Wei and said, "I smelled the fried rice and suddenly felt like eating it. Lao Wei, can you accompany me to get off the bus and eat some?"

Lao Wei hurriedly said, "I'm not hungry!"

Xia Meng didn't force it, "Forget it, wait for me in the car for a while, I'll go downstairs to have a meal."

Old Wei hesitated for a moment, "Governor Xia, the security in our Tangzhou is not very good at night, I'd better go with you."

"It's okay," Xia Meng waved her hand, "No need, I'm not a child anymore, you wait for me in the car."

Despite Xia Meng's persuasion, Lao Wei did not get out of the car, but sat in the car waiting for Xia Meng.

After getting off the car, Xia Meng found a roadside stall with more customers.

There were a lot of people at this fried rice and fried noodles stall. There were more than a dozen tables placed on the roadside, and only the last table was unoccupied.

Xia Meng was quick to act and quickly sat over.

Seeing the guests coming, a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old came over to ask Xia Meng,

"Beauty, what do you want to eat?"

Xia Meng asked the girl, "What do you have here?"

The girl found a menu and handed it to Xia Meng.

Xia Meng glanced at the menu, looked up and asked the girl, "Is the barbecue stand next to you also yours?"

The girl nodded with a little pride, "Yes, it's mine too!"

Xia Meng said, "Give me two servings of spicy chicken fried rice, two servings of fried noodles, add two more eggs to each serving, and two servings of shredded pork, with more chili..."

The girl glanced at Xia Meng and said, "Beauty, are you alone or waiting for a friend?"

Xia Meng, "I'm alone!"

The girl hurriedly reminded, "Beauty, my family has a big appetite, I'm afraid you can't finish all these by yourself."

Xia Meng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I have a big appetite and can finish it."

Seeing that Xia Meng was so confident in what she said, the girl was no longer worried.

Xia Meng ordered a lot of barbecue.

After Xia Meng finished ordering, the girl looked at Xia Meng hesitantly, and finally confirmed it again out of concern.

"Are you sure you can finish all of this?"

Xia Meng nodded, "Don't worry, we can finish it all!"

The girl then said, "Okay, wait a moment!"

Xia Meng quickly added, "Get me two bottles of juice."

Girl, "Okay!"

After a while, the girl came over with two bottles of juice and put them on Xia Meng's table, and also gave Xia Meng two paper cups.

Fried rice is faster.

The spicy diced chicken is fried in advance, so just add it in when making fried rice.

However, the spicy diced chicken was fried very fragrantly, and the chili inside was also very fragrant. Xia Meng scooped a large spoonful of it into her mouth, and the spicy taste immediately filled her entire mouth.

The taste is really good.

Xia Meng enjoyed the meal very much.

Xia Meng finished two servings of fried rice quickly.

Maybe it was because Xia Meng ordered too much, so the girl was afraid that Xia Meng would not be able to finish it and it would be wasted. Or maybe she was curious whether she could really finish so much as she said, so the girl kept staring at Xia Meng intentionally or unintentionally.

The girl's eyes widened when she saw Xia Meng finished two servings of fried rice in a very short time.

The fried rice is finished and the fried noodles are almost ready.

The fried noodles were filled with extra eggs and meat, so each portion looked like a lot.

Although the fried eggs were a bit overcooked, they were very fragrant. The meat was very tender and not overcooked at all, and the taste was excellent.

After Xia Meng finished two servings of fried noodles, the barbecue was almost done.

The little girl brought a plate and placed the barbecue in front of Xia Meng, then took away the four large bowls.

Xia Meng was eating happily when she suddenly saw a group of young people walking towards her in a nonchalant manner.

Xia Meng saw those people from afar and didn't pay much attention at first. However, Xia Meng noticed that the girl who served her the food changed her expression the moment she saw those people. It was a mixture of fear, panic, disgust, yet helplessness.

Xia Meng turned sideways and looked at the group of people while eating lamb skewers.

The group of people walked to the first stall. When the vendor saw them, he immediately stuffed two bills into the young man’s hand.

It’s two hundred!

The young man nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and led the people to the next store.

Who is this...?

As far as Xia Meng knew, setting up a stall here was free.

Because of the massive reduction in employment opportunities, the country also encourages people to set up stalls. No matter what, as long as they can find a job to survive, it's good.

Therefore, the state has reduced many restrictions on ordinary people setting up street stalls.

Then, Xia Meng saw that no matter which stall those people went to, the vendors would pay them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of commotion not far away.

Xia Meng noticed that the group of people came to a street stall. The stall was set up by a gray-haired old couple who looked to be around sixty years old.

They started quarreling with the young man who was leading the group.

The rest of the people who were eating were also attracted by the commotion.

But the distance is a bit far, and there are so many people, many people can't hear clearly what is going on over there?

But because Xia Meng had sensitive hearing, she could hear it clearly.

"We...really have no money," the old man looked at the young leader with a sad face.

"Besides, this is our first day here, selling some vegetables grown at home. We only have so little, and even if we sell it all, it only makes a few dozen yuan, but you're charging 200 yuan as a stall closing fee. This... is too much!"

"A lot? If you think it's too much, don't set up a stall here?"

"Don't know? Are you idiots? Don't you even ask around before setting up a stall?"

"What? I didn't hear that I had to pay? If you didn't hear that, it's your problem. I'm warning you: if you want to set up a stall here, you have to pay me."

"Who are we? You don't care who we are, you have to pay anyway."

"No money? If you don't have money, don't leave!"

The two elderly men were surrounded by a group of thugs, and the leader of the thugs even grabbed the elderly men's electric tricycle.

"Although this broken tricycle looks shabby, it can still be sold for some money even if it's just scrap. If you don't pay, I'll let someone take it away."

"No! Please, we really have no money! Without this electric tricycle, my wife and I are in poor health, how can we go out in the future!"

"I don't care how you go out. If you don't pay, you can forget about this broken tricycle."

The two old men kept begging the gangster to return the tricycle to them, and their voices were even choked with sobs, helplessness and despair.

Many people gathered there to watch the fun.

Some people can't stand the behavior of these gangsters, but no one dares to go against them.
