Chapter 757 Hit the muzzle
The people behind didn't know what was going on. When they saw the car in front rushed into the highway, they followed closely.
After chasing the highway for a long time, everyone could understand the direction. This direction should be heading towards Yunhai City, which is the same as the route Mr. Jiang came today. At this distance, there are a total of three counties in Zhonghua City. However, it is not clear which county the problem is.
The car ran for half an hour and finally got off the expressway at the Keli County toll station.
When passing the toll station, Zeng Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was a problem with the tomatoes in Keli County? Apart from that, Keli County has nothing to do. However, even if there is no problem, Mr. Jiang's choice to get off the expressway from Keli County was really caught off guard because Keli County is at the bottom of the economy in Sinochem City and is a major agricultural county. In Keli County, the economic development achievements of Sinochem City cannot be seen.
As soon as I left the toll station, I saw many people surrounding the road ahead, and there were as many as three or four hundred people, blocking the road outside the exit.
A black car was parked outside the crowd. An old man with silver hair stood beside the car, looking at the scene on the road ahead with his hands behind his back. Two sharp-eyed, strong and powerful men stood beside him staring at the crowd vigilantly.
Zeng Yi just glanced at him and knew that the old man was Mr. Jiang.
After Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Weizheng got out of the car, they followed the middle-aged man in the car ahead and ran towards Mr. Jiang quickly. In just a few steps, Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Weizheng ran with sweat. I don’t know if they were running out or scared.
"Old Jiang, I..." As the top leader, Zhao Zhenji naturally greeted Mr. Jiang.
"Oh? You are all here!" Old Jiang's expression was very natural, without a trace of anger, but with a slight smile, pointing to the crowd blocking the road ahead, and said, "Since you are here, let's take a look. Such a lively scene is rare!"
Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Weizheng were both frightened. People who are familiar with Mr. Jiang know that Mr. Jiang has a habit. The more angry he is, the less he will show his face. If something happens, Mr. Jiang will look warm to you. Then you should be careful, because the next thing will inevitably be Mr. Jiang’s thunder will be angry. On the contrary, if Mr. Jiang comes up and criticizes it with a dark face, then this matter will probably not be very serious.
Both of them wanted to apologize to Mr. Jiang and explain, but unfortunately they didn't even figure out what happened. They didn't know where to start with this apology and explanation. The two stood beside Mr. Jiang and looked forward. But they were like millions of ants gnawing at their feet, making them stand in a very torment.
Zeng Yi stood in the distance and observed it, and knew what happened. He was really afraid of what he came to. Keli County did fall into tomatoes.
Not only were there three or four hundred people blocking the road, but there were hundreds of agricultural tricycles and even flatbed cars. The cars were filled with large and small baskets, and they were filled with ripe tomatoes.
The tricycle is covered with cardboard with red letters on it. There are all kinds of slogans on it; the most conspicuous one is "The government has no faith. It has endured the acquisition of tomatoes but has temporarily repent", "The half-year effort is about to rot, so I have to sell tomatoes in tears." The most straightforward slogan is "Selling blood for sale, one dollar and five pounds without bargaining!"
In front of the crowd were some local cadres who stopped the crowd, shouted in a low voice, and advised them both soft and hard. Unfortunately, the crowd did not buy it, and a stalemate formed at the intersection in front.
Zeng Yi saw this situation and roughly guessed what happened. Keli County vigorously advocated farmers to grow tomatoes and made a promise to open up the acquisition. Now, it gave up the acquisition for some reasons. This led to a large number of tomatoes in Keli County losing sales. Seeing that the tomatoes were about to rot, the villagers were fruitless in seeking help from the government, so they prepared to rush onto the expressway to sell tomatoes. On the one hand, they made the matter bigger, and on the other hand, they were to vent their dissatisfaction with the Keli County government's untrustworthy dissatisfaction.
The villagers walked to the intersection of the expressway, but were stopped by local cadres who learned the news, but they were seen by Mr. Jiang who happened to pass by here, and this scene was the one in front of him.
These local cadres worked so hard that they didn't find themselves behind them. At this time, the city leaders were already full of leaders, and all four teams of leaders were here.
Zeng Yi was a little puzzled. Didn’t Keli County attract a large factory specializing in producing tomato juice? How could it go back on its word?
Qin Jindang, director of the Municipal Government Office, had already taken out his phone number and stood there to contact the county leaders of Keli County to come over to deal with the matter and understand the incident.
Before Qin Jindang could finish his phone call, a sharp sirens appeared behind the crowd. Seven or eight police cars arrived at the scene with fully armed police officers and began to shout with tweeters, demanding that the villagers be separated as soon as possible.
The police car was on the front foot and the back foot was a long convoy. Just look at the license plate, you knew that Luan Zhigang, the county magistrate of Keli County, had come.
The city has issued a notice in advance, but it did not state that Mr. Jiang was coming, but it requires all counties to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps in the near future. For Keli County, which has seen countless similar notices, we know that a large leader must have passed by Keli County in the near future. Keli County naturally dare not neglect it. These days, they have been guarding against each other, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Luan Zhigang received the news, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately rushed over and planned to calm the matter down in the shortest time, even if he was coaxing and deceiving.
"Famous people, I am Luan Zhigang, the county magistrate of Keli County. Please be calm and listen to me..." Luan Zhigang got out of the car and took the electric speaker handed over by someone else, and shouted at the crowd.
It doesn't matter if this shout is that Luan Zhigang saw Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Weizheng standing behind the crowd. At that time, Luan Zhigang felt his feet weak and almost fell beside the car. He was really afraid of anything he came to do, but why did the city leaders encounter it?
When I looked behind Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Weizheng, Luan Zhigang's hands holding the electric speaker began to tremble. My mother, why are all the city leaders here? This is a big gun!
"Everyone... don't be excited..." Luan Zhigang was so scared that his voice trembled, but he could only continue to talk further. Could he still shout to the crowd that the mayor and secretary have arrived? Wasn't that dragging the leader into the water? He gritted his teeth and shouted: "The government will not watch everyone's tomatoes rot. The county is already trying to help everyone solve this problem. The Tomato Festival is about to open, and the county is also actively communicating with the juice factory to start the tomato acquisition work as soon as possible. Please wait patiently for a few more days. The problem will definitely be solved. Please believe in the government and believe..."
"It was because I believed you and got fooled!" The crowd made a huge boo, interrupting Luan Zhigang's speech.
"If the county hadn't promised to buy tomatoes, who would have grown these tomatoes? They were not eaten or worn properly!"
"That's how nice it was to let us grow tomatoes, now we planted tomatoes all over the land. But you said you won't buy them. Are you doing it for us farmers or deliberately harming us farmers!"
"There is no ordinary person in the eyes of an official, it is all for his official hat!"
"It must be acquired! It must be acquired!" The crowd shouted loudly, and the voice completely overwhelmed Luan Zhigang's electric speaker.
The police next to him were on high alert. Seeing that the crowd was restless again, they were ready to take some measures. However, Luan Zhigang quickly turned his eyes. The situation was already chaotic enough. If you add fuel to the firewood, my future will be really over.
"It's lively, it's really lively!"
Mr. Jiang looked at the noisy scene in front of him and kept sneering twice.
Zhang Weizheng looked at Zhao Zhenji at this time and found that Zhao Zhenji had no intention of moving, so he had to walk forward. If he didn't come forward today, Keli County would probably not be able to calm the matter. As for why Zhao Zhenji, the top leader, was indifferent, Zhang Weizheng also knew very well. Because this tomato project in Keli County was strongly supported by Zhang Weizheng, Zhao Zhenji did not participate in this matter from beginning to end, so he naturally would not come to wade into the muddy waters at this time!
But Zhang Weizheng could not avoid it. If this matter really cannot end, his strong supporter would definitely be to blame.
Jiang Hong immediately stepped forward, protected Zhang Weizheng in front of him, and walked around the crowd and came directly to Luan Zhigang.
With a big hand stretched out, Zhang Wei was asking for an electric speaker from Luan Zhigang with a dark face, and then with the help of Jiang Hong, he stepped directly on the front cover of Luan Zhigang's car.
"Friends, please be quiet. Listen to me. I am Zhang Weizheng, the mayor of Zhonghua City. You may have seen me on TV and newspapers." Zhang Weizheng shouted vigorously, saying: "I came here today to help the fellow villagers solve the problem of tomato sales!"
"The mayor is here!"
The news quickly spread among the crowd. In less than half a minute, the crowd finally calmed down.
"Here, I want to apologize to everyone first. Because some of our own negligence and mistakes in our work have brought great anxiety and trouble to everyone. For this reason, I apologize to everyone!" Zhang Weizheng held the electric speaker and bowed deeply to the crowd. After lifting up, he said, "But I want to tell you that our government keeps its word. Since we promised to acquire everyone's tomatoes, we will do what we say and never break our promise!"
"Why should we believe you!" Someone in the crowd asked with courage.
Zhang Weizheng's eyes fixed on the person who asked the question and said, "Good question! The tomatoes have not been sold yet. It is useless for me, Zhang, to say something wrong. I only use facts to prove my words and believe it! Today, in front of everyone, I, Zhang, made a promise to you that within three days, the city will completely solve everyone's tomato sales problem, and collect as much as you have! If you break your promise, you can move the tomatoes that cannot be sold to the front of the municipal government building, and Zhang will immediately be his own official!"
As soon as these words were said, the leaders of Zhonghua City in the distance were collectively surprised. Mayor Zhang was saying too much. He was making a promise in front of Mr. Jiang. If the tomatoes cannot be sold, how can they end up? Could it be that they really resigned!
Zhao Zhenji was also a little surprised, frowned slightly, and then returned to normal. He knew very well that if there was a way, he would not have caused the incident today. It was because Zhang Wei was pressed to the gun that he had to say these harsh words.
However, it is easy to say this, but it will be difficult to take it back!
