Chapter 903: Party Secretary Tang Likes Unannounced Visits!
The man had his hair tied in a bun and wore a long beard; he wore a white shirt-robe on his upper body, dark blue trousers on his lower body, cloud-patterned socks bound at his calves, and black cloth shoes on his feet.
He was dressed like a Daoist priest!
The Daoist pointed at the people blocking him and cursed loudly: "I have lived on this mountain for decades, and I went down the mountain to travel for two years. I have walked this path countless times; how can you not let me go home? Are you bandits?"
The person blocking him wore a red armband on their arm and a work ID card hanging on their chest.
"I suggest you ask the Government about the situation. This area has been bought by a developer, and they are preparing to build a scenic spot here. If you have any opinions, go tell the local Government. We are just working for a living; it is meaningless to struggle with us here."
The Daoist said angrily: "Don't try that on me. I want to see who can stop me today."
After saying this, the Daoist prepared to force his way up the mountain.
The staff naturally would not allow it and shouted: "Drive him away."
As soon as the words fell, two men stepped forward, and one of them grabbed his arm.
"Damn it, you dare to lay a hand on me?" the Daoist sneered.
He did not look tall and was somewhat thin, but the power he erupted with was truly astonishing.
He gave his shoulder a shake, pulled his arm in one motion, and in the blink of an eye, he flipped both men to the ground.
The people opposite saw that the situation was not right, picked up their walkie-talkies, and began calling for people.
"Someone is here causing trouble! Come over and help quickly, and remember to bring weapons!"
A grave look appeared in the Daoist's eyes.
He was very confident in his own skills, but he also had his own misgivings.
This was now a society ruled by law.
Once it involved fighting or injuring someone, that was a crime; the light penalty was a fine, and the heavy penalty was "treading the sewing machine" (prison labor).
A group of people rushed toward this side, holding stick-like weapons in their hands.
The Daoist's face became increasingly grave; the other side had many people and great momentum, and if he did not use some ruthless moves, he feared he would suffer a great loss today.
And the people opposite also knew deep down that the Daoist had remarkable skills, so they did not dare to act rashly for the moment.
Both sides were deadlocked.
At this moment, a voice broke the stalemate: "Daoist Master Feng, stop immediately! Don't be impulsive!"
When Branch Secretary Niu saw it was Daoist Master Feng, he felt a shock in his heart and hurriedly shouted to dissuade him.
Daoist Master Feng was the abbot of Baiyun Temple on the mountain; since Baiyun Temple was built, it had continued for many years.
Most of the Daoists in the temple lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living a self-sufficient life, but they also had occasional contact with the villagers.
When villagers were sick, the Daoists would help diagnose and treat them with traditional Chinese medicine.
The Daoists would also occasionally exchange some supplies with the villagers.
After the old abbot passed away, Daoist Master Feng sent him off and went down the mountain to travel with several fellow disciples.
Baiyun Temple had therefore been vacant for two years.
He did not expect that when he suddenly returned today, he would find that the road leading to Baiyun Temple had actually been blocked by someone!
Branch Secretary Niu was very sympathetic to Daoist Master Feng's feelings.
Daoist Master Feng had lived in Baiyun Temple for more than ten years, and this mountain road had been built by the villagers and the members of Baiyun Temple over several generations; now that he found someone occupying the road like a magpie taking over a dove's nest, it was hard for anyone to accept.
Daoist Master Feng turned around and saw that the person who came was Branch Secretary Niu of Heiniu Village, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Branch Secretary Niu, judge this for me! This group of people won't let me go home, and they even started fighting at the first disagreement; isn't this too much!"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Branch Secretary Niu's mouth: "Daoist Master Feng, you went down the mountain to cultivate and don't know the situation here. Let alone you not being able to go home, even our villagers aren't allowed to enter the mountain to pay respects to their ancestors. A dispute occurred because of this a while ago, and several villagers were beaten and injured, but after the Police Station came, they didn't arrest these people, but instead arrested our villagers."
When Daoist Master Feng heard this, fire spewed from his eyes: "Damn it, it's too infuriating! Is there still any rule of law?"
The lead staff member saw Daoist Master Feng cursing and said without backing down: "This area has already been rented by our boss, and development is going on inside. If you want to go up the mountain, hurry up and take a detour."
When Daoist Master Feng heard that he still had to take a detour to go home, he was instantly furious!
"You bunch of dogs, you are truly bullying people too much!"
Tang Ye saw Daoist Master Feng's beard-blowing and eye-glaring appearance and was somewhat surprised.
Generally, Daoists and monks gave people the feeling of being masters from outside the world.
Yet Daoist Master Feng was exceptionally down-to-earth.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it could be explained.
Daoism emphasizes quietude and non-action, and living in harmony with the world, but it also advocates repaying hatred with hatred and grievances with grievances, never delaying!
Just as everyone was deadlocked.
A man wearing an administrative jacket walked over from not far away, followed by a group of people.
"Old Niu, haven't I already talked to you?" the man said, "Heiniu Village wants to develop, and it must seize the historical opportunity. You must lead the villagers to support the Government's decision. As long as the resources of Heiniu Village are utilized well, in the future, everyone's life will become more and more prosperous."
Tang Ye recognized this person.
Guo Yi, the Township Head of Jinshan Township.
He had met Guo Yi several times during meetings.
His impression of Guo Yi was that this person spoke well and had a bit of cleverness!
How could Guo Yi have imagined that Tang Ye would be hiding among this group of people?
Tang Ye was wearing a tracksuit today, which was completely different from his attire at work.
He thought that this group of people, including Daoist Master Feng of Baiyun Temple, were all reinforcements called by Branch Secretary Niu.
Guo Yi whispered instructions to the person in the police uniform behind him: "To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader. This Daoist just hit someone; take him to the Public Security Bureau and do some good ideological work on him!"
That person nodded slightly and walked toward Daoist Master Feng: "Please cooperate with our work and come with us."
Daoist Master Feng was instantly burning with rage: "You bunch of Government staff are just the lackeys of the developer! I refuse to go, and I want to see what you can do to me!"
"If you refuse to cooperate, we can only take mandatory measures!" The Police took out silver handcuffs and headed toward Daoist Master Feng.
Just at this moment.
Han Jing took out a digital camera, aimed it at the two, and pressed the shutter frantically.
Guo Yi saw the camera flash, was startled, hurriedly looked toward Han Jing, and shouted sternly: "What are you doing? Hand over the camera!"
Han Jing's heart tightened, and she subconsciously shrank back.
Guo Yi rushed up, snatched the camera away, immediately pried out the memory card, and then a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I will keep the camera for the time being. After I check it and there are no issues, I will return it to you."
Having received intelligence, Guo Yi concluded that Han Jing must be the Reporter invited by Branch Secretary Niu.
He was just preparing to turn and leave.
However, his shoulder was pressed down by Tang Ye.
Guo Yi was furious and was about to push back, but his expression suddenly froze.
"Tang... are you... Tang..."
Secretary Tang, have you come to Heiniu Mountain for an incognito visit?
I had long heard that Secretary Tang likes to conduct unannounced visits!
It really is a case of fearing something and then having it happen!
A cold sneer flashed across Tang Ye's mouth: "Township Head Guo, I thought you didn't recognize me!"
"How could I not recognize you? Why did you come so suddenly?" Guo Yi forced himself to calm his emotions.
"What? To come to Heiniu Mountain, must I report to you first?" Tang Ye sneered.
Large beads of sweat broke out on Guo Yi's forehead, "Secretary Tang, if you had told me in advance, I would certainly have made preparations for your reception."
Tang Ye mocked, "If I had told you in advance, how could I have seen such a good show?"
