Chapter 1151: Mass Strike of Yechuan Minibuses!
"Yes, at the time the child's condition was very serious and symptoms of high fever and convulsions had already appeared. If we had delayed any longer, it certainly would have caused serious consequences, so we sent the person to the hospital."
Tang Ye explained with a smile, "Because we were conducting an undercover investigation at the time, it was not convenient to reveal our identities. However, I called the relevant personnel and had them urge the Police Station to handle the subsequent matters fairly. I have also been keeping an eye on it."
"You really are a kind-hearted person!" Zhang Ping realized belatedly, feeling deeply moved, "No wonder the police let me go so quickly. Not only did they not make things difficult for me, they even made the other party pay for the car repairs. So it was you helping me from the shadows."
Tang Ye waved his hand and praised, "The sense of justice you showed by standing up to confront the illegal taxi driver is commendable. What I did was my responsibility. On the contrary, the fact that such a group of evildoers exists within Yechuan County means there is a problem with my management."
Zhang Ping hurriedly waved his hands, "County Magistrate Tang, you are too modest. The problem of rampant illegal taxis in Yechuan County has existed for a long time. You have been in office for less than half a year; it has nothing to do with you."
"However, I hope you can step forward to solve it. Now, after six o'clock, taxis generally won't come to Yechuan County."
"We arrange for customers near the station, where a large number of illegal taxis gather."
"If we don't do things according to their rules, they will retaliate against us."
A grave expression appeared on Tang Ye's face, "I will definitely find a way to solve the illegal taxi problem. However, I invited you here today because I have something else to ask of you."
The County Magistrate is asking him for something?
Zhang Ping quickly stated his position, "County Magistrate Tang, you are too kind. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely do my utmost to complete the task."
Tang Ye had helped him, so helping him once in return was only fair!
"This matter requires you to proceed in secret. I will have a Liaison Officer assist you."
"Understood! I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
Zhang Ping felt his blood surging.
Being received by the County Magistrate was an honor for him.
Moreover, he now shared a secret with the County Magistrate!
Du Dalong arrived at the County Public Security Bureau to visit his younger brother, Du Xiaohu.
The two were five years apart, and since they were small, Du Xiaohu had followed behind his older brother, becoming his most reliable helper.
When Du Dalong first started running the minibus, it actually didn't go smoothly, and he often encountered provocations from rivals.
He and his brother were not afraid of trouble; whoever blocked them from doing business, they would fight them to the end.
In one dispute, Du Xiaohu used excessive force, causing someone to be disabled, and he spent two years "pedaling a sewing machine" 【in prison】.
However, Du Dalong also took this opportunity to gain a reputation.
Du Dalong's business grew larger and larger; he had eight minibuses under his name, and all the bosses running minibuses in Yechuan County followed his lead.
"Brother, don't worry about me, I'm fine. I've prepared myself mentally. At worst, I just won't go out."
Du Dalong sighed, "Don't say such disheartening things. Rest assured, I have a way to make them release you."
Du Xiaohu's eyes were full of trust, "Brother, I've caused you trouble again."
Du Dalong said in a relaxed tone, "What kind of trouble is this? That old thing surnamed Feng deserves to be dealt with. This is called killing the chicken to warn the monkey."
After leaving the County Public Security Bureau.
Du Dalong called the minibus owners he knew one by one.
"Boss Du, is something the matter?"
"Boss Gao. My brother was caught by the County Public Security Bureau. It's mainly because of the issue of raising the fare. He took action for the sake of our interests."
"I understand. What do you mean? Do you want us all to pool money to bail him out?" Boss Gao said somewhat reluctantly.
"No! I learned from Bureau Chief Zhang that the county is discussing readjusting the fares. I don't think we can sit and wait for death; we must unite. Otherwise, we will be the ones who suffer in the end."
Boss Gao secretly thought Du Dalong was probably brewing some more trouble, "If you have any requests, just say them; I will actively cooperate."
Du Dalong said, "I suggest we all stop operations together to put pressure on the Government."
Boss Gao said gloomily, "Stopping operations again? I don't really care. But I heard last time that some people were complaining because it affected their ability to make money."
Du Dalong said angrily, "Do you think I'm doing this for myself? It's for everyone. If we don't unite, we'll be picked off one by one! If anyone has complaints, tell me, and I'll have a 'heart-to-heart' with them."
Boss Gao knew what Du Dalong's so-called heart-to-heart meant; it was highly likely to be settled with fists!
He spoke vaguely, "I don't remember who said it either. Please rest assured, I will definitely keep in step with you."
After hanging up on Boss Gao, Du Dalong called all the other private minibus owners one by one.
Just as he expected, everyone agreed to his call.
Tomorrow, all minibuses from the county seat to the townships will go on strike.
This will seriously affect everyone's travel, subsequently affecting social stability, and even causing major losses.
Isn't the new County Magistrate trying to take a knife to the private minibus industry?
Now he is going to make the new County Magistrate pay the price for offending an entire industry.
The next morning.
Zhang Lei had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth when he received a call.
"Bureau Chief Zhang, something has happened. We just received news that the entrance to the County Government has been blocked by minibuses."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei secretly thought that by doing this, isn't Du Dalong playing with fire?
However, he thought again: if this move makes Tang Ye miserable, it might not be a bad thing.
Hasn't Tang Ye been constantly carrying out administrative capacity rectifications and criticizing departments at all levels?
Now let's see how his ability to handle this is!
In the end, Du Dalong was pushed into a corner by Tang Ye.
Even a rabbit will bite when pushed!
Moreover, Du Dalong is a big thug; how could he just let it go!
The officials are forcing the people to rebel!
Spreading this rumor is certainly not good for Tang Ye!
"Understood!"
The subordinate's tone was full of worry, "All the minibuses in the county have come to block the gates, which means the transport routes from the county seat to the townships have also come to a standstill. This is going to cause a huge problem."
Zhang Lei said impatiently, "That is not something for you to worry about. It isn't work hours yet, who do you expect me to find to resolve this? I will resolve it once it is time for work."
After hanging up the subordinate's call, Zhang Lei rinsed his mouth, then ate breakfast at a leisurely pace, and subsequently took out his phone to send a message to Chen Ning.
"Director Chen, in Yechuan County, the minibuses have gone on a collective strike."
Seeing this message, Chen Ning did not feel happy; he felt that this matter had dragged on for too long and could easily ferment into an uncontrollable situation.
"You must control the emotions of these people and ensure they do not commit any extreme acts."
"Based on my understanding of Du Dalong, he wants to use the blockade to create public opinion pressure and force the Public Security Bureau to release Du Xiaohu," Zhang Lei analyzed.
"Understood, keep in touch at all times; if there are any special circumstances, you must inform me immediately," Chen Ning instructed cautiously.
