Chapter 540: Trouble at the Old City Demolition Site!

Yang Hu chose to remain silent, and the interrogation was difficult to advance for a time!

The door to the interrogation room was pushed open.

Wan Ming looked back.

County Public Security Bureau Political Commissar Cui Yong walked in.

Yang Hu's eyes lit up after seeing Cui Yong.

Cui Yong glared at Yang Hu, and Yang Hu immediately understood.

Cui Yong was signaling him not to act rashly.

"Political Commissar Cui, I am in the middle of interrogating a case. Do you have business here?" Wan Ming asked calmly.

A smile appeared on Cui Yong's face: "County Magistrate Wan, let's step aside to talk."

Wan Ming's face was gloomy as he followed Cui Yong to the office next door.

Cui Yong took out a cigarette, but Wan Ming refused it.

"Lao Cui, I won't smoke. This matter today is quite serious. This morning, when Secretary Zhou was inspecting, Dong Weiqing's family blocked the road to cry out for justice. The City Leaders attach great importance to this and have demanded that an investigation result be produced within a week. Yang Hu bringing people to cause trouble at this time makes him a major suspect."

Cui Yong advised him with a sincere attitude: "County Magistrate Wan, you have been in Suiyuan for a year now; you should know the depth of the waters here. I suggest that we make big problems small and small problems disappear; don't make things overly complicated."

"Although the Municipal Party Secretary is focusing on Dong Weiqing's case, it has already been characterized. As long as we report truthfully according to the previous narrative, the matter can be concluded; there is no need to tear it all down and start over."

Wan Ming patted Cui Yong on the shoulder: "Lao Cui, I understand what you mean. However, I am a stubborn person and only believe what I see. I will continue to investigate this case. If any subsequent problems arise, I alone will bear the responsibility."

Cui Yong was stunned for a moment and sighed helplessly: "I admire your determination and attitude. However, we still need to be flexible in how we do things."

Wan Ming waved his hand: "Lao Cui, I still have to interrogate Yang Hu. When I have time, let's have a heart-to-heart talk!"

Having said that, Wan Ming walked back into the interrogation room.

Soon, Cui Yong heard Yang Hu's wailing.

Unsurprisingly, Yang Hu had been dealt with again!

He frowned and sighed helplessly.

He returned to his office and dialed Dong Tianbao's number.

"Boss Dong, I talked to Wan Ming, but I'm afraid Yang Hu won't be able to come out for the time being."

Dong Tianbao said angrily: "With our years of friendship, will he not even give me this face?"

Cui Yong had unspeakable bitterness: "It's not that I won't give you face; I have already tried my best. This Wan Ming is impervious to reason."

Dong Tianbao was depressed and hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, a look of helplessness appeared in Cui Yong's eyes.

Cui Yong's wife's surname is Dong; she is a member of the Dong Family.

When he was able to rise smoothly to the position of Political Commissar, the Dong Family had put in a lot of effort.

He knew that Dong Tianbao's business had been growing larger and larger in recent years, and the problems were also increasing, so he had the intention of drawing a line between himself and the Dong Family.

However, since Dong Tianbao had come to him, he still had to put on a show to deal with it.

Dong Tianbao was furious in his office:

"Cui Yong, damn it, you bastard! Back then, in order to help you get promoted, my father found so many connections for you, but look at you now—you can't be counted on at all!"

……

Wan Ming subsequently arrived at Tang Ye's office.

"I arranged for people to secretly protect Dong Dawu's family, and sure enough, I caught a few social elements with impure motives."

Tang Ye handed Wan Ming a cigarette. "What is the background of this group?"

Wan Ming did not light the cigarette and said in a deep voice, "The leader is named Yang Hu. He previously served time for malicious wounding. After he got out, he owned a bar under his name. The boss behind the scenes of the bar is Dong Tianbao."

Tang Ye was naturally no stranger to the name Dong Tianbao.

He was the spokesperson for the Dong Clan to the outside world.

At this moment, the door was knocked, and Tang Ye called out, "Please come in."

Lin Heng pushed the door open and said nervously, "Something big has happened at the Old City demolition site."

Tang Ye frowned, "What happened?"

"The common people and the demolition engineering team started fighting. A bloody conflict occurred, and quite a few people have been sent to the hospital."

"Are there any casualties?" Tang Ye stood up immediately.

"There are no fatalities for now. I heard that the Director of the Demolition Office for Jiulong Town, Yan Chao, is seriously injured. County Magistrate Wu has already rushed over to handle it."

After Wu Yang was promoted to Standing Committee Member of the County Party Committee, his division of labor was adjusted. He is responsible for urban construction, transportation, and infrastructure construction. He holds real power, but at the same time, the responsibility on his shoulders is very heavy.

Wan Ming stood up abruptly.

With such a big incident occurring, the Public Security Department must also rush to the scene to maintain order.

Tang Ye also stood up, and with a heavy heart, said to Wan Ming, "Let's go to the scene immediately!"

Tang Ye vaguely felt that because of the Old City Commercial Reform project, there would inevitably be a fierce conflict with the Dong Family Ancestral Hall.

But he did not expect it to come so suddenly!

And for the matter to escalate so much!

……

Sitting in the car, Wan Ming said in a deep voice.

"I have been to the Dong Family Ancestral Hall once. Inside are enshrined the spirit tablets of their Dong Family ancestors. It covers quite a large area, but it was built over a dozen years ago, so it can't be said to have much cultural protection value. However, the Dong Family has always boasted that they have a historical origin of over a thousand years, which can even be traced back to the Ming Dynasty."

Tang Ye frowned, "Local development must also take into account folk customs. We provided a good compensation plan, allowing them to rebuild an ancestral hall at a different site, which could be bigger and better than the original one. However, the Dong Family did not agree, stating that it is their family's place of inheritance, and moving it would ruin the feng shui of their clan."

Wan Ming sighed, "The matter is indeed tricky. The Dong Family is a large clan with many members, and they are of one mind."

"Previously, a similar incident occurred in another place. A developer wanted to move the ancestral hall of a large local clan. The clan drew lots and selected three young men. These three young men tied red ropes on themselves, rushed directly into the developer's home, and seriously injured the developer's family. After finishing the deed, the three young men turned themselves in. Their parents and children were raised and cared for by the clan together, and they were regarded as clan heroes. It caused widespread heated discussion in society!"

Tang Ye had seen this news.

At the time, it felt quite stirring.

But, standing from today's perspective to view the issue, there is more helplessness in my heart.

With two or three minutes of travel time remaining until the primary scene of the dispute, Tang Ye received a call from Han Guangyao.

Han Guangyao naturally came because of this matter.

Tang Ye quickly reported the information currently grasped to Han Guangyao.

Han Guangyao's tone was grave.

"County Magistrate Tang.

The problem of the Dong Family Ancestral Hall must be resolved; if it is not handled well, it will easily ferment into a larger hot topic, causing a public opinion crisis.

The Old City Commercial Reform has already advanced to this critical stage, and we must find ways and means to continue pushing it forward.

However, you must pay attention to the methods and approaches, and prevent anyone from using this matter to make a fuss."

Tang Ye was clear that this matter was filled with the scent of a Hidden Plot.

It was not only aimed at him, but also aimed at Han Guangyao.

"Secretary Han, although the situation is not yet clear, I can guarantee to you that I will do my utmost to resolve the problem."

Han Guangyao's tone softened, and his tone was firm, "I believe in your ability; you will certainly be able to resolve the matter."
