Chapter 1160: Drink This Bottle of Dichlorvos!

Time rewinds to one month ago...

"Leader, can you reduce the fine? It's not easy for us to make money driving, and our external debts haven't been paid off yet..."

The law enforcement officer felt a bit sympathetic.

The couple had borrowed money to buy a dump truck and came to Yechuan to haul freight, but not understanding the "unspoken rules" here, they were caught by the Law Enforcement Bureau and faced a heavy fine of 20,000 yuan.

In 2009, 20,000 yuan was a huge sum for a fine.

The law enforcement officer sent a text message to Bureau Chief Zhang Lei: Bureau Chief Zhang, why don't we let them off this time?

In a moment's time, Zhang Lei arrived directly at the law enforcement hall and ordered loudly, "Illegal vehicles must be dealt with strictly. Whoever lets them off, don't bother working here anymore!"

Subsequently, Zhang Lei ordered the security guards to chase the couple out of the hall and issued instructions, "If you don't pay the fine within a month, your dump truck will be disposed of."

At this time, Tang Ye and Li Yongan happened to be conducting an undercover investigation at the Transportation Law Enforcement Bureau hall,

focusing on the administrative management work of the transportation system.

That couple, right under their noses, knelt before the law enforcement officers, weeping and pleading bitterly.

Li Yongan took out equipment and filmed this scene!

Because the two were undercover and did not know the specific situation, they did not stand out on the spot to intervene in this matter.

Later, they verified and learned the details of this matter.

This couple was indeed very wronged.

Someone was using rules they had formulated themselves to force them onto a dead end.

A Transportation Bureau chief could be cold-blooded, ruthless, and act willfully.

It made Tang Ye realize that the problems in the transportation system were already terminally ill.

He chose to split his forces into two paths to solve the problems of the County Transportation Bureau.

On one hand, he had Li Yongan conduct an investigation in secret to collect evidence of Zhang Lei's illegal and undisciplined crimes.

On the other hand, he used the Huimin Bus "village-to-village" connection as an entry point to address the transportation chaos from the front.

Sure enough, just as Tang Ye had analyzed.

Zhang Lei incited Du Dalong and other minibus owners to strike and run to the Municipal Government to block the doors!

The Municipal Government leaders paid attention to the chaos in the Yechuan County Transportation Bureau.

This also gave Tang Ye the opportunity to eradicate Zhang Lei, this malignant tumor!

When Zhang Lei incited the minibus strike and used it as a bargaining chip, thinking he could "teach Tang Ye a lesson,"

Li Yongan also successfully obtained a great deal of evidence of Zhang Lei's illegal activities.

Secretary Zhao held a pile of evidence,

and had a showdown with Zhang Lei!

"Under your planning and organization, 9 freight company owners contributed capital, and with a registered capital of 1 million, a non-governmental organization called the Yechuan County Cargo Transportation Association was established.

All truck drivers were forced to join the association, pay tens of thousands of yuan in membership fees annually, and accept the association's standardized management.

Take dump trucks for example; the national standard height limit is 4.2 meters, and the weight limit is 49 tons;

yet this association privately formulated a set of standards for modified overloading.

The ground height limit is uniformly set at 1.5 meters, while the weight limit is adjusted at any time.

For instance, if today's weight limit is set at 55 tons, drivers are notified to tie a towel to the front of the truck,

and once the driver receives such a text message, they know the rules for the road today.

As long as the right sign is hung, they can travel without hindrance.

The association notifies every member driver of the rules via text message each time.

And those who don't know the rules are in for a streak of bad luck.

As soon as they enter Yechuan territory, what awaits them is harassment, obstruction, and even heavy fines."

Tang Ye added, "To ensure orders are followed, social personnel stake out various intersections, set up private checkpoints and weighbridges, and inspect passing vehicles.

And the drivers don't know that those law enforcement officers wearing uniforms are actually thugs hired by you, Bureau Chief Zhang.

Sometimes, these thugs even conduct joint enforcement with the Transportation Law Enforcement Bureau.

Buses and freight transport have both fallen, and tourist charter buses are not spared either.

Yechuan's tourist charter bus drivers must either cooperate with the company in Qiu Family Village or be kicked out.

Some compliant vehicles that refuse to join the association are harassed, intercepted, or even smashed by social personnel, making it impossible to operate normally.

Those who submit to me prosper, those who resist are fined!

This is your logic as an official, Bureau Chief Zhang."

Zhang Lei was terrified, realizing he had fallen into a meticulously laid trap.

Even so, he still refused to be captured without a fight and was still trying to make a final struggle!

"Tang, you are deliberately targeting me and framing me.

I won't admit to things I haven't done!"

Tang Ye frowned, "The facts are right in front of you; it's useless even if you don't admit it. That's all I have to say, think it over carefully!"

For Zhang Lei, everything happened too suddenly.

Human nature being what it is, he would not plead guilty for the time being.

But Tang Ye's appearance was enough to cause Zhang Lei's psychological defenses to collapse.

Tang Ye went to another room and dialed Li Yongan's phone.

"Zhang Lei has been caught... help that couple who were harassed solve their problem immediately!"

Li Yongan nodded and said, "Alright, I will contact that couple right now."

The dump truck driver is named Zhang Jiashan, and both husband and wife are from out of town.

During this period, they have had to come to the Transportation Law Enforcement Bureau every day to ask if there are any results!

The result is always that they must pay the fine in full before the vehicle can be released!

Zhang Jiashan's wife took a bottle of pesticide out of her pocket, a look of determination appearing in her eyes, "If they don't give us the vehicle today, I will drink this bottle of pesticide."

Zhang Jiashan was also helpless, "Don't actually drink it, just putting on a show is enough."

Zhang Jiashan's wife nodded, "I know, just to scare them a little!"

At this moment, the mobile phone rang.

Zhang Jiashan saw it was an unfamiliar number and answered the call.

"Who are you?"

"May I ask if this is Zhang Jiashan?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"My name is Li Yongan, and I am a staff member of the Yechuan County Government. Do you have a vehicle that was impounded by the Transportation Bureau?"

"Yes, that's right, they are demanding a fine of twenty thousand! Good heavens, how could we have that much money?"

"County Magistrate Tang knows about this matter and attaches great importance to it, requesting that I help you handle it. Is it convenient for you to head to the Transportation Law Enforcement Bureau?"

"I am here!"

"Very well, we will see you shortly!"

Zhang Jiashan hung up the phone and said excitedly to his wife, "There is a turning point in our situation. A staff member just called me and said the County Magistrate knows about our situation."

His wife was skeptical, "Could it be a scammer? We don't know the County Magistrate, how would he know?"

Zhang Jiashan took a deep breath, "Perhaps, since we come here every day, we just happened to be noticed."

After waiting for about ten minutes, a group of people walked into the lobby.

The person in the lead was wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, and he found Zhang Jiashan in the crowd at a glance.

"Hello, Master Zhang, I am the one who just called you."

The Liaison Officer beside him explained, "Master Zhang, this is our Deputy County Magistrate of Yechuan."

Zhang Jiashan widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Deputy County Magistrate Li, hello!"

Li Yongan said to the person in charge of the law enforcement team beside him, "You have impounded Master Zhang's dump truck for nearly a month; return the vehicle immediately. Because it has been such a long time, delaying them from earning money, you must also pay compensation."

The person in charge nodded quickly and said, "Alright, I will arrange it immediately!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Jiashan's wife had tears welling up in her eyes.

She took out the pesticide she had prepared in advance,

"Deputy County Magistrate Li, thank you so much.

We have been driven crazy with anxiety during this time!

If it weren't for you, we would have prepared for the worst and just drank this bottle of Dichlorvos at the entrance of the Transportation Bureau..."
