Chapter 1152: I Do Not Agree to a Single One!

After Yang Guoxiong arrived at work, he made an appearance at the Municipal Government, then went to his long-term hotel room.

Not long after, Jin Baoling swiped her card and walked in; she walked to Yang Guoxiong's side and kissed him on the cheek.

Yang Guoxiong smiled, put on his glasses, and approved several documents.

While Yang Guoxiong was handling official business, Jin Baoling acted very quietly and made coffee for Mayor Yang.

After finishing the urgent matters, Yang Guoxiong received a phone call.

It was from Chen Ning, the director of the City Transportation Bureau.

"Mayor Yang, I have a matter to report to you: the Yechuan County Government has been blocked by minibuses. Furthermore, all minibus routes have been suspended, and all the minibus drivers are on strike."

Yang Guoxiong frowned, "What is going on?"

Chen Ning explained, "The cause was a citizen who was dissatisfied with a price hike while riding a minibus, which led to a verbal altercation. The minibus owner injured the citizen and was arrested and detained by the County Public Security Bureau. The minibus owners have gathered to demand that the County Public Security Bureau release the person immediately."

Yang Guoxiong felt a bit confused, "If the County Public Security Bureau releases the person, wouldn't the matter be over?"

Chen Ning sighed helplessly, "The County Public Security Bureau stated that they will not release the person and will also pursue legal responsibility for the perpetrator."

Yang Guoxiong said angrily, "Who gave this order? Isn't this deliberately creating conflict and opposition?"

Chen Ning snorted, "Who else could it be? It was an instruction issued by Tang Ye."

Yang Guoxiong slapped the desk in anger, "Some people are afraid the world won't be in chaos. If this blows up, it won't be a good thing."

Chen Ning said in confusion, "Mayor Yang, if it blows up, it will also be because the Yechuan County Government handled things poorly!"

Yang Guoxiong shook his head, "The minibus owners have gathered to cause trouble several times over the past month or so.

Perhaps the government will appease and maintain stability for now, but this also exposes significant problems.

If you were the leader in charge, would you let people hold you by the throat again and again and be constantly threatened?

You hurry up and notify Zhang Lei; tell him to get people to disperse immediately and let the minibuses resume operations."

Yang Guoxiong's perspective on the issue was higher than Chen Ning's, so his analysis of the situation's trajectory was more cautious.

Chen Ning had originally intended to add fuel to the fire and smear Tang Ye in front of Yang Guoxiong.

He did not expect that Yang Guoxiong would not approve of letting this matter ferment.

Chen Ning hurriedly dialed Zhang Lei's number.

"You hurry up and contact Du Dalong; order him to withdraw everyone!"

Zhang Lei said helplessly, "Director Chen, I've said nice things to Du Dalong a thousand times, but he isn't buying it. This guy is completely out of control."

Chen Ning said coldly, "It is already 8:30. If the Yechuan County public transport continues to be suspended, it will definitely affect the public's travel. Someone will definitely have to take the blame for this!"

A cold sweat broke out on Zhang Lei's back.

Who would take the blame went without saying.

He felt some regret now.

He shouldn't have added fuel to the fire and made insinuations.

Otherwise, Du Dalong wouldn't have blown the matter up to this extent.

In his helplessness, Zhang Lei walked toward Du Dalong and said in a low voice, trying to persuade him, "Boss Du, the County Government leaders already know your demands. They are currently holding a meeting to discuss them. You should hurry up and drive the vehicles away and start working. Everyone hanging around here won't make any money, and it's not a solution!"

Du Dalong said indifferently, "Director Zhang, I have no issues with you. I demand to communicate directly with County Magistrate Tang."

Zhang Lei had a headache; he was just preparing to go persuade Tang Ye to communicate properly with Du Dalong.

At this moment, Tang Ye walked out of the Government Compound.

Zhang Lei hurried to meet him.

"County Magistrate Tang, Du Dalong wants to have a chat with you."

Tang Ye gave a grunt of acknowledgment and walked toward Du Dalong.

Du Dalong's face was filled with hostility, "County Magistrate Tang, if you want us to leave, you must agree to three things."

Tang Ye remained calm, "Let's hear them!"

"First, immediately release my younger brother, Du Xiaohu.

Second, promise not to change the minibus fares.

Third, do not open the Huimin Bus routes."

Tang Ye looked at Du Dalong without revealing any emotion.

There was not only provocation in Du Dalong's eyes but also a hint of smugness.

In his view, Du Dalong was far too arrogant and overbearing.

He could be so contemptuous even when facing him.

How much more so toward the ordinary common people?

"I do not agree to a single one of these three demands!" Tang Ye refused him point-blank.

Du Dalong was stunned.

Was Tang Ye not afraid of the matter blowing up?

Wasn't the government most afraid of mass incidents?

"County Magistrate Tang, if it's useless to talk to you, then our next step will be to go to the city to find the Mayor and the Party Secretary."

Tang Ye said in a low voice, "Du Dalong, I advise you to pull back from the brink, stop here, and call it quits. You have already broken the law."

Du Dalong said disdainfully, "How have I broken the law? I am just defending my rights. If the common people have grievances, can they not ask the government to solve them?"

Du Dalong decided to increase the pressure on Tang Ye; he turned around, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Release the person immediately!"

The others followed suit one after another!

"Release the person immediately!"

"Release him! Release him!"

For a time, the sound of protest reverberated in a cycle at the government entrance.

……

Han Zhengyi sat in his office, his expression gloomy.

Deputy County Party Secretary Shi Guangrong sat opposite him and sighed, "Secretary Han, why don't you give an order to Tang Ye to release Du Xiaohu first? I just received news that the entire Yechuan County, from the county seat to the townships, has come to a complete traffic standstill."

Han Zhengyi frowned and said, "Haste makes waste. Tang Ye's intention to change things is good, but the method used is wrong. It shouldn't be so direct; instead, he should seek more subtle strategies."

Shi Guangrong said worriedly, "I'm afraid it will spiral out of control. Many of these minibus owners have criminal records; will they act recklessly?"

A cold look appeared in Han Zhengyi's eyes, "If they dare to take action, that is going against the Government. This is an absolutely intolerable act."

Shi Guangrong sighed helplessly, "Yechuan is going to become the laughingstock of the whole city."

……

Accompanied by waves of protests.

The minibus owners began to attempt to approach the Government gate.

Zheng Shaokang's expression became extremely grave.

He knew this incident today was very thorny, so he had mobilized a lot of manpower in advance.

He held a megaphone and shouted sternly, "Please calm down! If you continue to move forward, we will have to make arrests!"

"Release him! Release him!"

The people opposite did not listen to Zheng Shaokang's warning at all.

A Police officer was pushed to the ground!

Others seized the opportunity to start inciting trouble and began making physical contact with the human wall formed by the Police.

Tang Ye cast a glance at Zheng Shaokang.

Zheng Shaokang seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and with a wave of his hand!

"You have some nerve, daring to assault the Police! Arrest them!"

To capture the bandits, first capture the ringleader.

Zheng Shaokang locked eyes on Du Dalong and charged straight toward him!

Du Dalong had not expected the Police to make arrests directly.

At this moment, he was also stunned.

Before he could react, he only felt a sharp pain in his arm!

Looking up, he saw Zheng Shaokang had rushed in front of him and used a grappling hold to pin him to the ground.

Du Dalong was subdued directly, and this scene left the others stunned.

This was the instruction Tang Ye had given to Zheng Shaokang.

Once a conflict arose, Du Dalong had to be taken down first.
