Chapter 90
I don't know why, but Tao Yanbin heard strong confidence from Su Xinghui’s words. He originally wanted to call himself "I," but when the words came to his lips, they softened a bit: "I just won't let people and cars go today. Let me see what kind of results you can make me bear?"
Su Xinghui didn't argue with him for a moment of tongue-in-cheek. He turned to Lu Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, let’s go. You go and rest for a while, we will handle this matter well."
Lu Xiaoya said, "But that truck has already been driven away by them, and they still want to detain our two cars!"
Su Xinghui said, "It’s okay, are you afraid that they won't come to return the cars later?"
Deputy Manager Li also said to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, just listen to Su Xinghui. Let’s not stand here, wait..."
"...later they will come to return the cars."
Deputy Manager Li could also be considered a person in officialdom. He knew exactly what kind of status Lu Xiaoya’s father had. If those people knew Lu Xiaoya’s status, they would probably be scared out of their wits on the spot and would immediately let people and cars go.
It’s just that Lu Zhenghong had always disliked his family members using his banner outside, and saying Lu Zhenghong’s status in this place might not be believed by others, but instead would cause a bad influence. Therefore, Deputy Manager Li didn't make Lu Xiaoya’s status public.
It was Lu Xiaoya herself who didn't understand what kind of power her father’s position would have in officialdom. She only knew that the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee couldn't control the police. Therefore, among the few people at the scene, only Deputy Manager Li was the most certain.
Listening to Su Xinghui and Deputy Manager Li’s words, Lu Xiaoya had to believe it. Therefore, she left the scene with Su Xinghui.
Seeing Su Xinghui’s momentum, Tao Yanbin felt a bit uneasy in his heart. But on second thought, this should be Su Xinghui bluffing. In Shangjun County, who else could do anything to him? Therefore, he waved his hand and let two traffic police officers drive away the truck and the van.
Su Xinghui let Xu Xiaoguang drive Deputy Manager Li and the three drivers to the County Party Committee Guest House to stay first, and then turn back to pick him, Lu Xiaoya, and Zhang Cheng.
Standing on the side of the road, Su Xinghui asked the two about the detailed situation just now, and Lu Xiaoya spoke angrily.
It turned out that today, as soon as their three cars drove to this intersection, they were stopped by the traffic police. Yu Gaoshan and Deputy Manager Li thought it was just a routine inspection, so they took out all the procedures for the traffic police to check. But who knew, the traffic police looked at it a little bit and said there was a problem with the procedures and they had to detain the cars.
Yu Gaoshan and Deputy Manager Li were also people who often ran outside and knew the rules of the industry, so they offered cigarettes to the traffic police and said they were willing to pay some fines, letting the traffic police let them go. Yu Gaoshan also went to page Su Xinghui.
But the traffic police insisted on detaining the cars, and the leader Tao Yanbin also told them that all those pheasants and bamboo rats had to be confiscated, and for those bamboo weavings, he said he would let Xia Lan and Xia Zhu of the Wild Boar Gully Village bamboo weaving factory go to the county seat to solve the problem before letting them go.
Hearing this, Yu Gaoshan and Deputy Manager Li knew that this group of people was deliberately looking for trouble. In Shangjun County, they were not familiar with the place, and Deputy Manager Li couldn't just move Lu Zhenghong out, so they could only find Su Xinghui.
Paging Su Xinghui again and telling him the situation, Yu Gaoshan went to say good things to the traffic police again, hoping to use fines to settle this matter. In this day and age, general fines would not be too much, just a few dozen yuan. Being able to use this bit of money to solve this matter could be considered breaking money to avoid disaster.
But Tao Yanbin and the others were impervious to reason and wouldn't listen to anything. They let the truck drivers get off, wanting the traffic police to drive the cars away. The truck drivers were hired by Yu Gaoshan, and he didn't know what to do, so he didn't get off.
The traffic police went up to the car to pull the truck driver. The truck driver got off the car a bit slowly, and they swung their fists and beat him.
Seeing this scene, Yu Gaoshan naturally stepped forward to pull them away, and Deputy Manager Li also stepped forward to tell them that they couldn't beat people.
Tao Yanbin wore his big brimmed hat crookedly and said, "So what if I beat someone? Go and complain!"
Saying that, Tao Yanbin said to those traffic police officers again, "Beat them for me, and I will bear whatever happens."
Those traffic police officers beat people even more vigorously. Now Yu Gaoshan couldn't agree. The truck driver was hired by him, and he had the responsibility to protect him. Therefore, he stepped forward and pulled away several traffic police officers who were beating people.
Although Yu Gaoshan didn't inherit his father’s mantle, he had learned kung fu after all. He pulled away those traffic police officers one by one.
As a result, Tao Yanbin shouted that Yu Gaoshan was attacking the police and let several traffic police officers arrest Yu Gaoshan.
Afterwards, Tao Yanbin let people drive away the other two cars. Now Lu Xiaoya certainly wouldn't agree, so she stepped forward to block it. This was the scene Su Xinghui saw when he arrived at the scene.
While talking, Xu Xiaoguang’s car turned back. The three of Su Xinghui got in the car, and Xu Xiaoguang drove to the County Party Committee Guest House.
Xu Xiaoguang had already opened several rooms at the County Party Committee Guest House. Su Xinghui, Zhang Cheng, Lu Xiaoya, and Xu Xiaoguang entered Deputy Manager Li’s room together, and several people discussed what to do about today’s events.
It was already almost four o’clock in the afternoon. Even if this matter was solved, they couldn't return to Jiangcheng today, so they could only stay here for one night. Therefore, this matter must be known to Lu Zhenghong.
Of course, the inside story of this still had to be known to Deputy Manager Li and Lu Xiaoya.
Therefore, Su Xinghui talked about Tao Yanbin’s status, as well as Shan Xiaolong behind him, and Shan Xiaolong’s father Shan Guozhi’s status in Shangjun County.
After saying their status, Su Xinghui told the story of the conflict he had with Shan Xiaolong’s group last time. This was the origin of the whole matter and had to be said.
Lu Xiaoya asked naively, "Then Xia Lan and Xia Zhu didn't offend them, why did they want Xia Lan and Xia Zhu to go to the county seat to solve the problem?"
Su Xinghui gave a bitter smile. Lu Xiaoya was too simple and didn't know many of the ugliness of the world!
He could only vaguely say, "Isn't it because Xia Lan and Xia Zhu are too beautiful."
Lu Xiaoya was not stupid. On the contrary, she was also very clever. Although she didn't understand the world, she knew what was going on after hearing this sentence. She couldn't help but be so angry that her willow eyebrows stood up: "This lecher!"
Deputy Manager Li had a relatively deep understanding of these ugliness in officialdom, but he was also a bit strange. Shan Guozhi was just a county magistrate, could he cover the sky with one hand in Shangjun County? Didn't he have a County Party Secretary above him?
Regarding Deputy Manager Li’s question, Su Xinghui explained, "Our County Party Secretary was transferred from the region and didn't come long ago. He is not a local, while County Magistrate Shan is a local and has been a county leader for many years."
Saying this, Deputy Manager Li understood everything. It turned out that in Shangjun County, the county magistrate was strong, while the County Party Secretary was weak. He frowned and said, "It seems that this matter must be solved by the province."
Su Xinghui said, "Manager Li, how about this, let Xiaoya call home first, tell the family about the situation here, and we will find someone to solve this matter here, trying to solve it in the county, so as not to have too much influence. If we can’t solve it, then let the province solve it?"
Deputy Manager Li thought about it and felt that this was a relatively good method. This matter was not big, not small. If Lu Zhenghong had to speak for everything to be solved, wouldn't he be exhausted? And Lu Zhenghong didn't like to make the influence big. If the influence could be controlled in the county, that would be the best.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoya called home in the room. It was Song Qiaoli who answered the phone. Lu Xiaoya told her mother about the things she encountered in Shangjun County and told her that it was not early now, and it was estimated that it would be quite late when this matter was solved, so she would just go back tomorrow.
Lu Xiaoya also let Deputy Manager Li say a few words to Song Qiaoli. Song Qiaoli asked Deputy Manager Li how the matter was solved. Deputy Manager Li said that Su Xinghui was finding someone to solve it. Therefore, Song Qiaoli told them to pay attention to safety outside, and then hung up the phone.
Then, Zhang Cheng called home again. At this time, Zhang Kaishan had already returned home. As soon as he heard about this matter from Zhang Cheng, he attached great importance to it. He asked several people to wait at the County Party Committee Guest House, and he would rush over immediately.
The County Party Committee compound was not far from the County Party Committee Guest House. It took less than ten minutes, and Zhang Kaishan rushed here. After chatting with Deputy Manager Li and Lu Xiaoya in Deputy Manager Li’s room, he listened to Su Xinghui tell the story of what happened today.
