Chapter 642

However, what he didn't expect was that Ye Xianggao and Wen Qiren actually agreed.

Not only did they agree, but in less than three minutes the two were already downstairs beside Geng Miao's tiger-headed steed.

Su Yang couldn't help shaking his head; it seemed these two really presented a special image of public servants.

What is a public servant? It is the servant of the citizens.

It is someone who can truly lower their stance, lower their status, willingly bend down to listen to the suggestions of ordinary common people, and seek welfare for the common people.

Over these years, the mindset of officialdom has been constantly eroding such people; not to mention a county party secretary, even a village head, everyone sees them and nods and bows.

Yet in the grand compound of the county party committee and county government, he witnessed this scene; although he had known such things existed before, when it truly appeared before his eyes, his head still buzzed.

But how could he know? Even in Lieshan Xian, this is considered an honor; leaders in other counties don't even have the qualification to shout at them twice.

At that moment, his phone rang; it was Mingyue calling: "County Magistrate Su, you should be off work by now, right? If it's convenient, I'll come pick you up."

Su Yang said: "No need, our unit isn't far from the hotel either; I'll walk there in a few minutes."

After hanging up, he was also pondering in his mind; he estimated that the meeting just now hadn't ended yet, and Geng Miao must have already known about these things that happened at the meeting.

His shout just now might have been a demonstration against himself; if that were the case, he might have gotten the wrong idea.

At this moment, in that small courtyard in the suburbs.

The old man with white hair was also answering the phone.

"Oh, you say this County Magistrate Su actually has such boldness, daring to openly oppose Geng Miao at the standing committee meeting and even wanting to directly take back the winery."

"It seems this person is indeed somewhat interesting; originally my plan was just to sound things out."

"Let's see whether this vice county magistrate, who bears the hopes of the superiors, really has this boldness, and whether he is worthy of being entrusted."

"But now it appears he indeed has this courage and boldness, and the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau he brought, Sun Chengjun, is also a ruthless figure."

"I have had people investigate this matter all day today, clarifying how many people witnessed Sun Chengjun firing his gun in person."

"Although Geng Biao and his men indeed pointed their gun muzzles at Sun Chengjun, in fact Geng Biao never actually went forward to seize the gun; his action was merely pointing at Sun Chengjun, yet Sun Chengjun seized the opportunity to step forward, grab the gun barrel, and then it appeared as if the two were struggling together over the gun."

"Then he fired the gun; this all happened in one fluid motion. Without real skill underneath, without that boldness and courage, one would never dare to do this; this person is certainly not ordinary."

However, the person on the other end of the phone said: "But I feel that the more this is the case, the more these two are overly exposed, the easier it will be for them to be sent back early."

First, speaking of the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Sun Chengjun, although his action in this matter was relatively covert, the many people present were originally unfavorable to them.

Such a matter requires testimony; besides the criminal investigator Lao Ding and a joint defense team member from the Shuanggou Town police station, no one else, even if they truly saw Geng Biao step forward to seize the gun, would necessarily come forward to testify.

In that case, Sun Chengjun's act of firing the gun itself is a violation; people wouldn't even need to merely suspend his duties—removing him from office would be a simple matter.

Even if someone above could not suppress this matter, moreover, such a situation depends on who it is and where it occurs.

If it were outside pursuing fugitives or capturing heinous criminals, and the opposing side had weapons, then firing the gun could be justified.

Geng Biao and his men didn't fire first; they merely drew their guns, and that indeed cannot be justified.

The key is, if everyone present is favorable to him, then his action would be not blameworthy; for a person like Geng Biao, firing two shots, or even two hundred shots, would not be excessive.

I think he is simply acting on impulse, having only a bold appearance without substance.

He was suspended from duty just two days after taking office; this is likely the first in public security history.

As for Su Yang, there's no need to say more; I acknowledge his courage and boldness, but today at the standing committee meeting, he openly fired off, isolating himself is one thing, yet he also clamored to take back the entire Shuanggou Large Koji Winery.

He hasn't even figured out the situation yet. Is the Shuanggou Large Koji Winery really that easy to take back into government hands? If it were truly that easy, it would have been reclaimed long ago; why wait for him to come and do this?

As for the connections behind Geng Miao, could he possibly know nothing about them? Objectively speaking, even the relevant provincial units wanting to intervene would likely have no say, let alone him.

If he truly has this intention, he can take it slow; at the very least, let him first establish his own footing, gain support from at least two or three comrades, and then gradually look for ways to obtain relevant evidence to act upon.

I believe the Shuanggou Large Koji Winery certainly has its loopholes; over these years, especially the past two, their situation may not be as good as we see.

He insists on now openly targeting Geng Miao; just now, Geng Miao had already called away Secretary Ye and County Magistrate Wen.

I estimate Su Yang's good days are also coming to an end.

The old man with white hair shook his head: "In terms of age, you are older than Su Yang and Sun Chengjun by at least two cycles, if not more."

But when it comes to political boldness and means, you truly are inferior to these two, especially Su Yang; you really underestimated him.

This person is genuinely courageous and strategic; all this seems as if he were passive, being pushed by us, but in fact it should also be part of his plan, merely carried out earlier.

Really grasping a handle on the Shuanggou winery is not that easy; how many years have we been in this place? Have you actually obtained evidence of their illegal wrongdoing?

Even what is superficial and easily obtainable, they have long smoothed over; as for matters involving killing, they can handle them, let alone these.

Su Yang doing this is essentially forcing Geng Miao and his group to reveal their tails.

Think about it, what kind of person is Geng Miao? He has been the local tyrant in Lieshan Xian for so long that no one dares to defy him; even in his mind, all the county's cadres are his family's long-term workers, and a single word from him makes them all follow his lead.

Then out of nowhere comes a Su Yang, a 25-year-old vice county magistrate, who not only refuses to give him face, but also openly fires off; can he tolerate this?

He will definitely launch a counterattack; as soon as he takes any retaliatory action, Su Yang will surely seize the opportunity to catch hold of a handle.

Moreover, regarding Sun Chengjun, his doing this is even more justified; aside from anything else, the moment Geng Biao and his men drew their guns and aimed them at Sun Chengjun, it was already destined that he would end up eating bullets.
