Try opening and closing your mouth.

Sure enough, that damn feeling was gone.

After regaining his mobility, the old man dared not show any disrespect to Chen Li.

He first smiled awkwardly at Po Meng, then looked at Chen Li, and said:

"Little brother, what did you ask just now?"

Chen Li repeated the question again.

Hearing this, the old man subconsciously looked towards the mountain road.

"Well... there should be no difference."

Hearing this, Chen Li nodded slightly.

This point is exactly the same as he guessed.

As the most prestigious temple in Yongning County, if there is a decrease in tourists at Baoen Temple.

The other temples are naturally worse.

At the same time, this also shows another point - the situation has not completely developed to the point of no return.

After thinking about it, Chen Li asked again:

"By the way, I have another question. How did you know Zhou Hao?"

When he was in the village before, the old man's state when he heard Zhou Hao's name was obviously not right.

There is no doubt that he is lying.

The only thing that Chen Li couldn't figure out was how he met Zhou Hao, who was the investor's representative.

The two seem to have no intersection.

Hearing Chen Li's question, the old man hesitated.

Taking a peek at Granny Meng, out of desperation, she replied:

"People along the coast have the habit of offering incense and asking for a visa before starting work. I told the county."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Li couldn't help but bulge his eyes.

"You said that?"

When he was at the police headquarters before, he asked Fang Lei, who said that people along the coast have the habit of praying to God and worshiping Buddha before doing business.

It never occurred to him that he had already seen this person before.

"Hey, isn't that right!"

Luo Yang said suddenly.

"Why do you lie to people in the county, saying that people along the coast have this habit? It shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

"I didn't lie!"

The old man immediately retorted.

"That's what the tourists from the coast said before."

Hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help laughing.

"Old man, as a seasider, I can tell you responsibly that not all seasiders have this habit."

The old man looked over.

"Then what do those tourists say, are they all lying to me?"

Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, Chen Li smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

At this time, Shen Taiping said:

"Old man, I think you may have made a mistake. Those people should be talking about their own habit."

"Yes."

Sister Min also chimed in.

"Brother, think about it, since those people traveled thousands of miles to come here to offer incense, they must believe in such things very much."

"And those who don't believe in these things don't come here specifically."

"Maybe all you hear is exaggeration from some tourists, but in fact, not all coastal people believe this."

Seeing so many people contradicting himself, the old man also began to feel unconfident.

Frowning his sparse eyebrows, he kept trying to recall what he heard back then.

At this moment, Chen Li waved his hand and said:

"Okay, let's not talk about whether coastal people have the habit of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, let's continue with the previous topic."

"Old man, you said that you told the people in the county that Zhou Hao and the others had this habit, and then what? What did you do? What's the purpose of doing this?"

Chen Li believed that the old man must have other purposes for doing this.

He is the kind of person who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't cast an eagle.

Sure enough, the old man was silent for a while, and said:

"Hey, it's all said here, and I'm not afraid to tell you."

"I specifically told the county about this matter, and indeed I have my own calculations."

"By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ning Sheng, and I am the village chief of Hesheng Village."

After speaking, Ning Cheng pointed to the foot of the mountain.

He signaled to everyone that the place where they came before was Hesheng Village.

Then, Ning Sheng continued:

"I have acquaintances in the investment promotion bureau in the county, so I naturally know that there has been a project to attract investment in the county."

"Originally, this project has been silent since it was proposed."
