The "greenhorn" Fang Shijie was yelling in the office, demanding an explanation, which made Director Qian very angry.
"Young man, it's not that we don't want to solve your problem, but they have violated the law! The police have arrested them, what can we do?
I advise you to pack up and leave immediately, otherwise it will not do you any good if the situation gets out of hand!"
A sharp and serious male voice sounded from the door.
"County Magistrate."
"You are finally here, County Magistrate."
Director Qian was eager to get rid of this hot potato. He looked at Xiaozhuang with admiration, thinking that he was quite capable, as he could actually get this coward out.
Xiaozhuang scratched his head, nodded and bowed to invite County Magistrate Xu in.
Lu Zhiye glanced at County Magistrate Xu from the corner of his eye. He was fat and bloated, and his square face looked even more square.
Fang Shijie didn't care about whether he was the county magistrate or not. He just sat in his office chair and said disrespectfully, "Why would they go and rob food? Isn't it because of your inaction?
Why are you pretending to be a good guy here? There are only the elderly, the weak, women and children left in the village. I don't need to say more. County Magistrate Xu should know what will happen, right?"
County Magistrate Xu was very angry when he saw him being so nonchalant and not taking him seriously at all, but he had been an official for many years after all.
He took two deep breaths and regained his composure.
"Then what do you say we should do? As far as I know, you guys are part of the temporary militia escorting supplies, right? Can you guys afford to be charged with neglecting your duty?"
As the saying goes, old ginger is wise. Although County Magistrate Xu had been hiding before, he quickly arranged for people to find out the identities of several people.
Fang Shijie picked up a pen from the table and kept spinning it, his face stern, and the staff beside him were a little afraid of him.
"County Magistrate Xu, to put it mildly, this is just a matter of the villagers being confused for a moment, nothing is missing, and a reprimand and education will suffice.
To put it in a broader sense, it is the people who cannot survive, and it is your negligence and dereliction of duty. If I make a few reports to the higher-ups, you should also consider whether you can keep your position firmly."
County Magistrate Xu laughed when he heard this. He had been through so many ups and downs in his life, but he had never seen such an arrogant boy. He even reported to his superiors? Who do you think you are?
The municipal party secretary is the brother of his husband's eldest brother-in-law's wife. They are so closely related that they have been informed in advance of any disturbance over the years.
How could this young boy shake them?
After the sneer, he also completely lost his temper: "If you know what's best for you, drive away quickly, or I will call your commune leader and punish you for dereliction of duty!
To tell you the truth, I have already contacted the Public Security Bureau. This group of people are bad elements who are destroying collective unity. They should all be taken away for criticism and education!"
Fang Shijie found it ridiculous that County Magistrate Xu did not do anything for the people but instead used force to suppress them.
He kicked the table, and the documents and ink on it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
County Magistrate Xu was completely furious. He stretched out his big hand and slammed the door hard. After a while, several men in green ran in.
"It's them who maliciously destroyed county government property and undermined collective unity. Take them away now!"
County Magistrate Xu spoke in a bad and slightly complacent tone, which Fang Shijie and Lu Zhiye could hear clearly.
Fang Shijie curled the corners of his lips and said, here it comes!
He had just deliberately angered County Magistrate Xu. If anything happened to him, his family would put pressure on the city.
He is also involved in this matter, and County Magistrate Xu also has to consider how to deal with it.
Lu Zhiye looked at the people gradually approaching them and moved his wrist slightly.
Seeing Fang Shijie's fearless look, he also took advantage of the situation to bully others.
The two men knocked several men to the ground, and County Magistrate Xu was so frightened that his voice changed a little.
"You still dare to resist! Attacking police officers is an even greater crime. Arrest them all!"
The clerks in the office were too timid to step forward. They must be kidding. The two men just raised their feet and waved their hands, and the policemen were thrown to the ground.
Aren’t they going there to deliver food?
Xiaozhuang's face turned red, he picked up a stick behind the door and rushed forward.
After Lu Zhiye subdued him, he heard Xiaozhuang's weak voice: "I know you have a backup plan. Hold me hostage and delay as long as you can."
Fortunately, Lu Zhiye had sharp eyes and ears and excellent hearing, otherwise he would not have been able to hear what Xiaozhuang said and would have knocked him to the ground in vain.
He held the stick to Xiaozhuang's neck and said solemnly, "County Magistrate Xu, if you can handle this matter properly, wouldn't it be great for us all? Why must it get to this point?"
On the other side, Fang Shijie had already disarmed several police officers. He only vaguely heard someone talking in a low voice, but he couldn't hear clearly what was said.
Now seeing Lu Zhiye's actions, I am a little confused. What's the point of holding a small employee hostage?
Ignoring his puzzled look, Lu Zhiye slightly increased the intensity of his movements, and Xiaozhuang's face turned red with fright.
Long before, Lu Zhiye had discovered that County Magistrate Xu had an unusual attitude towards Xiaozhuang, and this person probably had some status.
"You, your behavior is that of a thug, do you know that? I can call the police to shoot you dead!"
Fang Shijie changed his previous carefree look, straightened his back, and shouted loudly: "Okay, let's see if County Magistrate Xu can bear this responsibility!"
County Magistrate Xu looked at the two men with extraordinary auras, feeling confused and uncertain.
Could it be that they are really children of cadres from somewhere?
And Xiaozhuang is the head of the Revolutionary Committee. If something happens to him, who knows what will happen!
Director Qian quickly came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile, "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, these two guys just helped these women and children because they felt they were too pitiful.
Hey man, our County Chief Xu has been unable to sleep for many nights recently because of this matter.
How about this, let's sit down and talk it over, and in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security, see if we can reduce the charge a little bit?"
County Magistrate Xu also walked down the steps and said quickly, "Yes, I am so worried. These are all things that happened within my jurisdiction. It is indeed my fault as the county magistrate."
Fang Shijie calculated the time, more than two hours, it should be about the time, and nodded slightly to Lu Zhiye standing beside him.
Lu Zhiye let go of Xiaozhuang, with an apology in his eyes that only the two of them could understand.
County Magistrate Xu quickly protected Xiaozhuang behind him.
Oh my God, thank God, nothing happened.
"Xiao Zhuang, go pour these two comrades a cup of tea, and let's sit down and have a good chat."
County Magistrate Xu now understood that these two people were in charge of the matter.
He would put this matter off for now, and make a decision after finding out the identities of the two people...
