Chapter 194 Lin Manjiang was beaten
Chapter 194 Lin Manjiang was beaten
As the saying goes, if you endure for a moment, you will get angrier; if you take a step back, you will suffer more.
The murderous spirit of the villagers in Lone Eagle Town was aroused again.
You have to know that a few years ago, armed fights were common among them. Since the town didn't give them justice, they came to ask for it themselves.
If you want to make others afraid to bully you in a poor and remote area, you have to fight for it.
If they give in this time, they will have to avoid the people in Longkou Town in the future. Who would like to be inferior to others?
A large number of people were organized from each village, armed with guns and long sticks, and gradually gathered in Tianxi Village.
The town's tourism industry has been greatly affected.
Tourists took out their cameras to capture this scene.
Lin Manjiang was shocked when he heard the news.
He knew that if he didn't handle it well, his career would come to an end.
Looking at the villagers gathered in the town committee compound, Lin Manjiang quickly sent someone to call Xiao Long and came out to appease them.
"I understand everyone's problems. I will call the county party committee and government right away and seek justice for everyone. Okay? Let's go home first."
The villagers refused to give in. “We don’t believe you. Where is Secretary Qi? We want to see Secretary Qi!”
"Secretary Qi has gone to the city to study for a month. Can you wait for me? I will give you an explanation. Can I call the county now?"
As he spoke, Lin Manjiang rushed into the temporary town committee shed, picked up the phone and made a call.
As a result, the county told him that Secretary Wu of the county party committee had gone to the countryside for investigation.
What a coincidence! Lin Manjiang cursed inwardly.
Then he called the county magistrate Ma Zhiyuan, but Ma Zhiyuan scolded Lin Manjiang directly, "As the mayor, can't you handle such a small matter?
If you cause a riot, I'll take your hat off!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Why would he come out to help? He actually hoped that Lin Manjiang would cause unrest in Guying Town, which would deal a severe blow to the secretary's faction.
Lin Manjiang had no choice but to ask the villagers to go back and wait for news, but no one bought it.
"Don't try to fool us. If you can't help us, we'll do it ourselves!"
"I've finally figured it out. You're just a kid who hasn't fully grown his hair yet. You can't do anything big. You're a worthless mayor!"
"Shit mayor!"
"Okay, stop talking to him. Let's go and show the people in Longkou Town that we are not to be trifled with."
"Let's go."
The villagers called their friends and began to leave the town in groups.
Xiao Long knew that it was time for him to take action, otherwise not only Lin Manjiang would be affected, but even Qi Tongwei would be implicated.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and Xiao Long shouted from a high place, "I am Xiao Long, the chief of the police station. Everyone listen to me!"
Thanks to the prestige he had accumulated over the years, Xiao Long shocked everyone.
Everyone stopped moving.
Xiao Long said loudly: "Why do the people in Longkou Town dare to bully us? It's because they know Secretary Qi is not here. If we all make trouble, Secretary Qi will definitely be punished.
Even dismissal!
By then, the good situation of our town will be completely ruined.
So, now Mayor Lin will go to the county party committee and county government immediately to give everyone a result. If he can't do it, I will go to the city to find Secretary Qi and let him make the decision for us!
"Is it possible?"
When everyone heard this, they realized it was true.
If Qi Tongwei fell, they would probably not be much better off.
"Okay, Director Xiao, we trust you. We'll wait here until Secretary Qi comes back."
Seeing that Xiao Long had calmed the villagers down, Lin Manjiang did not dare to delay and immediately asked his secretary to drive over.
Instruct Xiao Long to do the on-site work well.
The car drove away under the expectant eyes of the villagers.
The car was still the brand new Santana that attracted attention, but the person inside was not as high-spirited as before.
The shadows of the trees rushing past made him wonder whether he was moving forward or backward.
Just like his career.
He didn't understand why Jiang Chengtao was so malicious towards him.
After all, I am Wu Chunlin's man, so I have to give face to the Buddha.
...
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye the vehicle had unknowingly driven into Longkou Town.
"Bang." The car suddenly made a loud noise and moved at a zigzag speed on the road.
The car crashed into the woods nearby.
Lin Manjiang was violently shaken and hit the front seat. He groaned in pain, "What's going on? How do you drive?"
"Mayor, the tire is flat."
"Didn't you get checked before you went out?"
“…I’m sorry, Mayor.” The secretary was unable to explain and could only apologize repeatedly.
At this time, Lin Manjiang noticed that the other person's forehead was broken and blood was flowing.
It was not good to continue scolding, so he said anxiously: "Okay, let's get off the car and take a look."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lin Manjiang rubbed his head and got out of the car. He looked around. The nearby earthen brick houses and the yellow mud on the ground told him that this was no longer Guying Town.
"Where are we?"
"We have entered Longkou Town for about thirty miles."
"Is this where drivers say their tires are flat?"
As soon as Lin Manjiang finished speaking, he saw a few people walking towards him from a distance.
"Hey, it's still a nice car."
"Everyone, is there a telephone in the nearby village? Can I borrow one?" Lin Manjiang was stunned and asked.
The bearded man in the lead said with a smile: "Your car is broken, but the phone can be repaired."
"I'll call someone to fix it."
The bearded man smiled and said, "Don't bother. My brother can fix it."
Lin Manjiang asked: "How much?"
The bearded man patted the hood of Santana and opened his palm, "This is a good car, five hundred per tire!"
"What! Five hundred! Why don't you just go and rob it!"
"What nonsense! We are honest businessmen and we don't rob people."
Lin Manjiang said angrily: "Let Jiang Chengtao from Longkou Town come to see me!"
"Why? You know our Secretary Jiang? Who are you?"
"Who am I? I am Lin Manjiang, the mayor of Lone Eagle Town!"
The bearded men looked at each other in disbelief, "Are you Lin Manjiang?"
Lin Manjiang nodded, "Why, do you know me?"
The bearded men laughed, "We know each other. It's a well-known fact! Haha."
Lin Manjiang said proudly: "Then hurry up and fix the car, I have something urgent to do!"
"It's easy to fix the car. It's just the money."
"I'll give you whatever the market price is. Don't ask for too much!"
"It doesn't matter which market it is. In our market, one tire costs one thousand." After saying this, the bearded man pulled out a nail from his waist and inserted it into an intact tire.
Lin Manjiang's eyes widened, he pointed at the bearded man, and cursed angrily, "You bunch of bandits, blackmailing me, I'm going to report you to the county party committee!"
The bearded man was originally a gangster, and was later taken in by Jiang Chengtao. He was specifically responsible for doing shady things for Jiang Chengtao. This time, he probably picked trouble with the passing vehicles in Guying Town under the instruction of Jiang Chengtao.
But he didn't expect to catch his mortal enemy Lin Manjiang.
"Brothers, this guy wants to report us to the county." The bearded man laughed.
"Teach him a lesson, let him know why the flowers are so red."
"Okay!" Several people immediately gathered around.
Lin Manjiang was shocked, "Don't mess around, otherwise it will be a crime."
"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded.
Lin Manjiang was a little bit unbelievable. In his entire life, he had never suffered such an injustice.
But before he could come to his senses, he was beaten and kicked.
The secretary wanted to come to the rescue, but was also knocked to the ground.
