Chapter 1139: Large-Scale Mob Brawl!

Jiang Jing and Tang Ye came outside.

Mayor Jiang's mood was extremely terrible: "I never expected the Wharf to be hiding such filth and corruption. In such a terrible environment, how can we revitalize the economy?"

Tang Ye echoed: "It is thanks to your suggestion of an undercover visit that I was able to see this scene. I have heard of road tolls and bridge tolls, but this is the first time I have heard of a river-crossing toll."

"These people are too unscrupulous. If there is any profit to be made, even if a bird flies overhead, they would pluck a feather from it."

Jiang Jing looked toward Cai Lin not far away, whose emotions were running very high.

"What are they doing? Why do I feel like there is a bad sign?"

"How about we follow them and see?"

"Hmm, follow them!" Jiang Jing was also somewhat curious.

……

Cai Lin ran to the Wharf and called over a group of workers.

They boarded several vans and drove off in a swarm toward the southwest.

Tang Ye sat in the car and instructed Ma Ran: "Drive, follow them."

Jiang Jing sat in the car behind, following closely.

After driving for about ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the scene of the incident.

Two groups of people were confronting each other, their mouths full of foul language.

In the center sat a taxi, its front windshield smashed into a spiderweb pattern, and the car body was surrounded by several black Santana cars.

Further out, four or five more taxis were parked.

A woman was holding an infant, hiding in a corner, her face full of helplessness.

The infant was frightened and was crying loudly.

"County Magistrate Tang, I will get out of the car and see what exactly is going on."

"Alright, go. Remember, we are on an undercover visit, do not reveal our identities." A look of gravity appeared in Tang Ye's eyes.

"Hmm, I know!"

Ma Ran walked into the middle of the crowd.

Two men were grabbing each other's collars, neither willing to let go.

"Damn it, you dare to come under my nose to pick up passengers? Are you looking for death, kid?"

"I was just giving them a ride on my way. I would have let it slide, but the child is only two years old and running a high fever, rushing to the hospital, yet you were demanding an exorbitant price. I couldn't just stand by and watch."

"What, you think you're a messenger of justice? You don't follow the rules, so today I must teach you a good lesson."

Ma Ran understood the cause.

The illegal taxi driver and the taxi driver had a conflict over snatching passengers.

The illegal taxi drivers were a clique, so they immediately called people to surround the taxi driver who had stood up for the passenger;

This taxi driver was well-liked, so he also called over nearby fellow drivers.

Originally, the two sides were evenly matched.

With Cai Lin bringing the Wharf workers over, the balance was broken.

The illegal taxi driver gained confidence and swung his fist toward the taxi driver's face.

The taxi driver had good skills and easily dodged it.

Following the momentum, he pulled, and the illegal taxi driver lost his balance, his right cheek slamming hard against the hood.

"You smashed the car, you must pay for it," the taxi driver said coldly.

The illegal taxi driver roared: "Pay your mother! Let go of me!"

"Your mouth is filthy, you uncultured thing. I will teach you how to be a person on behalf of your parents."

As soon as he finished speaking, the taxi driver slapped the illegal taxi driver with a loud sound.

Seeing that the taxi driver had good skills, Cai Lin's eyes showed a look of gravity, and he immediately signaled to a few henchmen beside him:

"This guy has definitely trained. Pay attention to coordination when moving. I will count three, two, one, and we all use our weapons."

The taxi driver suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind and instinctively raised his arm to block.

A dull thud was heard, and his arm instantly went numb.

He kicked out and sent the attacker flying.

On the right side, another person swung a steel pipe; his eyebrow was grazed, and blood splattered.

Cai Lin seized the opportunity, swung his steel pipe, and smashed it hard onto his back.

The taxi driver only felt his mind go blank……

Several people swarmed up and pinned the taxi driver to the ground.

Cai Lin stomped on his wrist and said viciously: "Damn it, you dare to cause trouble in Zhaojiang Town? You didn't even bother to find out whose territory this is!"

Seeing this scene, the taxi driver's friends could no longer hold back and started fighting back.

For a time, the two groups began a brawl!

The onlookers were so scared that they scattered and hid.

"Sigh, the taxi driver is being beaten too miserably."

"The illegal taxi drivers are too hateful. It's one thing to demand exorbitant prices, but they are even beating people up."

"Before, a taxi driver was beaten into a disability. Since then, not many taxi drivers have dared to come to our Zhaojiang Town."

"They are doing it on purpose, forcing the taxis away so that when we go out, we can only take their illegal taxis and let them slaughter us."

"That child doesn't seem to be moving anymore."

"I'm afraid the high fever has caused the child to faint. Why haven't the Police arrived yet?"

"The child is innocent, it's too pitiful!"

The two groups of people were seen fighting fiercely.

The woman's heart completely collapsed.

Time ticked away minute by minute, and the child's vitality was slipping away bit by bit.

Her husband worked in another city, and she was raising the child alone; at this moment, she felt as if heaven would not answer her cries and the earth would not hear her pleas.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter from Ma Ran, Tang Ye walked to the car behind and reported to Jiang Jing:

"A woman wanted to take a taxi to the County Hospital to treat her child who had a high fever, but she encountered an unlicensed taxi driver who demanded an exorbitant price.

A passing taxi driver couldn't stand it and took the initiative to let the woman get into his car.

The unlicensed taxi driver immediately called his accomplices and blocked the taxi driver.

The taxi driver refused to be outdone and called over a few friends who also drove taxis.

Later, Cai Lin brought wharf workers over to help the unlicensed taxi driver, and the crowd on both sides grew larger and larger."

Jiang Jing's expression was grave: "A brawl with so many people, the impact is terrible! Has anyone called the Police?"

Tang Ye nodded: "Xiao Ma has already called the Police, but over ten minutes have passed, and the Police still haven't arrived. I will call Zheng Shaokang now."

……

Tang Ye took out his mobile phone and dialed Zheng Shaokang's number.

"County Magistrate Zheng, there is a matter that requires your urgent handling."

Zheng Shaokang rarely had free time on the weekend and was playing Chinese chess with his daughter.

Receiving Tang Ye's call, he vaguely guessed that something must have happened.

"Please go ahead, County Magistrate Tang, I will arrange it immediately."

Tang Ye said: "Mayor Jiang and I are conducting research in Zhaojiang Town and encountered a mass brawl; it has been over ten minutes since the Police were called, and no Police officers have arrived on the scene to handle it yet."

Zheng Shaokang's scalp tingled instantly, and he hurriedly said: "Understood, I will certainly handle this matter seriously!"

Tang Ye instructed: "Do not tell anyone else that Mayor Jiang and I are here; it is not appropriate to reveal our identities for the time being."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shaokang only felt his scalp go numb……

Jiang Jing liked to conduct unannounced visits.

Encountering trouble during an unannounced visit in Zhaojiang Town, who knew who would be unlucky!

He dared not delay and dialed the number of Cai Guobiao, the Police Station Chief of Zhaojiang Town.

"County Magistrate Zheng, what are your instructions?"

"There is a large-scale mass brawl in Zhaojiang Town right now; why hasn't the Police Station dispatched officers yet?"

Cai Guobiao was startled and hurriedly defended himself: "Ah? County Magistrate Zheng, we have already dispatched officers and will be there immediately."

"The county is currently cracking down hard on administrative conduct; your efficiency in dispatching officers is so low that it has seriously violated regulations! Once the matter is handled, you must provide the county with a clear result of the handling!"

"Yes, yes, yes, County Magistrate Zheng, I will urge them immediately; we will definitely arrive as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Cai Guobiao was completely stunned, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

How could County Magistrate Zheng know that a mass brawl had occurred in Zhaojiang Town?
