Since the soft approach didn't work, the two men decided to use a hard approach to make Zhang Shuguang face reality and understand what it meant for the people to not fight against the government.
As long as Director Zhao is persuaded, Zhang Shuguang will naturally compromise since he has no one to support him.
"I'm afraid not. He's the victim of this incident. As long as he reports the case to us, we have to accept it. Combating illegal crimes is the responsibility of our Public Security Bureau."
If it weren't for cooperating with Zhang Shuguang, Zhao Youzhi would have wanted to arrest them both right now.
They still have the audacity to ask me to bend the law for personal gain for two thousand yuan. I really want them to be blinded by their hearts.
"Director Zhao, you won't even give me this little bit of face? Are you sure you're going to go this far just for a few joint defense team members?"
"My father and Secretary Cheng of your county committee went to the Party School together. Does Secretary Cheng need to tell you about this personally?"
The two people from the city have a sense of superiority in their bones.
Seeing that Zhao Youzhi refused to cooperate, they started to use his influence to their advantage.
There are few fools among officials, and they believe that Zhao Youzhi will make the right choice.
"A few ordinary joint defense members? You're being too naive.
The family member of the injured person inside is the one you call the little boy. Do you know who his father is?
His father, Zhang Xiangnan, was a professional soldier stationed in southern Xinjiang.
He just returned home to visit his family last month after achieving meritorious service. Last week, he was named a First Class Combat Hero by the Military Commission. He's in his thirties and already a colonel and a regimental commander."
Just last week, Zhang Xiangnan received a telegram personally sent by his old leader, informing him that his honors had been evaluated. When he returned to the base, he would become the commander of the Third Regiment.
"What? Director Zhao, you didn't lie to us?"
Guo Yang and Li Zhenjun were shocked.
They didn't expect that their luck was so bad. The several joint defense team members they beat were actually relatives of the same regiment commander.
"What good would it do me if I lied to you? My nephew came here on his own today, and my old comrades don't know about this yet.
If he finds out and insists on holding you accountable, not only the thugs, but you two won't be able to escape either."
Zhao Youzhi looked straight at Guo Yang and Li Zhenjun, revealing the fangs of the iron-blooded battalion commander he once was!
"Director Zhao, we will go back now and send the attacker to your station this afternoon.
For our father's sake, if the regiment commander pursues the matter, we hope Director Zhao can put in a good word for us."
The two men fled from the county hospital.
At this moment, they no longer have the sense of superiority they had at the beginning, nor do they have the calm state of mind that they had when they were confident.
Their only thought now is to send all those who participated in the beating last night to the public security bureau.
Don’t worry about whether people will lose their morale now. It’s a blessing if you can protect yourself.
I have already done them justice by rushing over from the city and bringing gifts to apologize.
Who made them so arrogant and directly attack the joint defense team? If they had run away at that time, wouldn't this incident not have happened today?
Even if you can't escape, don't resist. It's okay if they catch you and bring you to the joint defense team. We will naturally find a way to get them out.
Now, the joint defense team member was injured, and he was a relative of the regiment commander.
This is beyond their ability. Those people can only fend for themselves in the future!
"Xiao Guang, they will send the assailant to the police station this afternoon.
Tonight, I will organize all the public security officers in the county, as well as all the joint defense teams, to launch a devastating attack on the black market in the south of the city."
Zhao Youzhi was determined not to allow the black market in the south of the city to continue to exist.
Zhao Youzhi would not care about the black market run by Boss Liao in the county town, because that was where the common people made their living, and what was bought and sold were food and daily necessities.
The black market in the south of the city has formed a black industrial chain, from theft to selling stolen goods, as well as the trading of weapons. It is a real place where filth and dirt are hidden.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Youzhi planned to clean up the atmosphere in Dongfeng County.
"Okay, then I wish you immediate success!"
Knowing that the person behind the black market in the south city was just the son of the Organization Minister and the Education Director, Zhang Shuguang felt relieved.
Let’s not talk about whether the Organization Minister and the Education Bureau Director are aware of it. Even if they are the real masterminds behind the black market, Zhang Shuguang is not afraid of them.
"Fourth uncle, cousin, you two should have a good rest. I'll bring you some chicken soup tonight. Take this opportunity to nourish you."
Originally, Zhang Shuguang was planning to find Boss Liao to inquire about the background of the black market in the south city, but he didn't expect them to come to him on their own initiative, which saved Zhang Shuguang from having to make another trip.
"Xiao Guang, stop running back and forth, and don't let grandma and grandpa know about this."
Gu Qiang hurriedly said to Zhang Shuguang.
"Yes, don't tell your mother, otherwise she will worry again. When we were young, your mother and I were the closest."
Su Zhenjiang also quickly instructed Zhang Shuguang.
"I must tell my grandma and mom about this when I get home, otherwise they will definitely beat me up.
Don't think too much, just focus on recovering. Oh, Uncle Zhao, and Captain Hu, my fourth uncle and cousin will also receive salary while they recover, right? "
“Yes, they were work-related injuries, injuries sustained to protect collective assets from loss.
Not only will their salaries be paid as usual, but I will also help them get credit and honors.”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuguang's last question was whether his cousin got paid for being hospitalized, which almost broke Zhao Youzhi's defense.
"That's good. I'll leave first and come back in the evening."
Zhang Shuguang rode his tricycle back home. When he was almost home, Zhang Shuguang took out a few hares and pheasants from the space.
As soon as he got home, Zhang Shuguang told his family the news that his cousins and fourth uncle were injured.
"Is the injury serious?"
The old lady was frightened when she heard it.
It was originally a good thing to find a job for my grandson and the children of my in-laws, but I didn't expect the joint defense team to be so dangerous.
"Grandma, don't worry, they are just superficial injuries. My cousin Gu Liang is the only one with a slightly more serious injury, but his life is not in danger. He just needs to rest and recuperate for a while.
My uncle Zhao said that they are all considered work-related injuries, and the Public Security Bureau will commend them. They may even receive certificates of merit and wear big red flowers!"
Zhang Shuguang quickly comforted his grandmother.
"That's good, grandson. Come on, grab the old hens from the chicken coop. Grandma will make some chicken soup for them to nourish them."
"Grandma, there's no need to kill the chickens at home. I caught a few pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. I'll kill them right now and send them to them in the evening."
With the help of Zhang Xiangnan and Li Lixin, several wild rabbits and pheasants were quickly killed and chopped into small pieces.
Liu Guixiang and Su Hong were busy in the kitchen, and Zhang Xiangnan pulled his son aside to ask him questions.
Zhang Shuguang did not hide anything and told the background of the black market in the south of the city.
“I don’t care if he is a director or a minister, since he has committed a crime, he must be punished accordingly.
Xiaoguang, you take your mother and grandmother to the hospital later. Xiao Li and I will go to the Public Security Bureau to find your Uncle Zhao first."
Zhang Xiangnan plans to participate in tonight's operation. He plans to avenge his nephew and niece personally.
