"This comrade," Li Yuanlang said calmly, "since I have shown up, I sincerely want to resolve your demands."

"However, it's freezing now, and I can't bear to see everyone suffering from the cold outside. Moreover, you blocked the gate of the city hall, which seriously affected the normal work."

"The city government has a heavy workload every day, and your affairs cannot affect its service to the general public. Therefore, I kindly ask everyone to go to the conference room and discuss solutions while drinking hot water. How about that?"

Li Yuanlang's heart-to-heart discussion tone and approachable attitude caused many people at the scene to whisper and discuss.

The originally noisy atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

The old worker who spoke also felt that the municipal party committee secretary was indeed much better than the previous high-sounding municipal leaders, and his speech was of a high standard.

Just as he was about to respond, he heard a tall, round, black-faced man in the crowd shout: "Young and old men, don't believe it. If we are tricked into the house and arrested, and dealt with one by one, we will have no freedom. Who would?

If you don't accept it, you will be sent directly to the cell and locked up for a year and a half, which is not a pleasant feeling."

Wow...

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd was in an uproar and fell into commotion again.

Li Yuanlang looked at the man carefully. At this moment, Fang Yan took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to him, and said a few words.

Li Yuanlang flipped through the papers, pulled out one, slowly raised the megaphone, and asked the black-faced man sonorously, "Your name is Cao Dayin, right? You were sentenced to three years for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and you were released a month ago."

"According to the investigation, you have been wandering in the society. When did you become a worker of Jiuyuan Mining? Then it is strange. Since you are not a worker of Jiuyuan Mining, why should you wear the work clothes of Jiuyuan Mining? Who gave you this?

For clothes!”

Cao Dayin never expected that his old background would be exposed by Secretary Li.

He frowned, his face turned red and purple, and he had the courage to shout: "You, you are framing a good person. I can't stand the workers being bullied, and I am here to help them."

Li Yuanlang sneered and said, "Are you really so kind?" He turned to whisper a few words to Jing Boxiao beside him.

As Jing Boxiao made a phone call, a siren soon came from not far away.

Two police cars rushed over, the doors opened, and five handcuffed men looked dejected. Under the escort of the police, the crowd made a way out of the way, and they were brought to Li Yuanlang.

The deputy district chief and branch director of Shangcheng District, who was in charge of this operation, exposed the true colors of these people in front of everyone.

It turned out that they were ordered by Jiuyuan Mining's general manager Huang Yuanlong's secretary Jiang Ming to temporarily attract passers-by on the street and promised to pay them 100 yuan an hour so that they could change into Jiuyuan Mining's work clothes and spend their time here.

There was a petition team of hundreds or thousands of people, just to make the matter bigger.

When the Jiuyuan Mining workers at the scene heard this, there was another uproar.

Many people were originally wondering why there were so many workers all of a sudden, and many of them were strangers, so they had no clues.

At this moment, Fang Yan found a chair as requested by Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang stood on it so that he could see the scene more clearly.

He obviously noticed that after the five people were escorted in, many people in work clothes were gradually leaving the petition team.

Obviously, they felt guilty. When they saw the instigator being caught, they were afraid that they would be implicated, so they rubbed oil on their feet one by one and walked away in disgrace.

More than half of the team of five to six hundred people disappeared in an instant, leaving only two to three hundred people.

Even the guy named Cao Dayin was slowly backing away, walking to the edge of the team, taking off his Jiuyuan Mining work clothes, and planning to run away.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by two policemen just after he had gone very far, and they arrested him without any explanation.

Cao Dayin is different from those passers-by who are blind to money. This guy is an accomplice of those five people. He has violated the law and must be severely punished.

It is estimated that he will stay in there for a while this time.

After being released for a month, I haven't breathed enough free air, and I have to enter the palace for the second time. I'm afraid my intestines will turn green.

Seeing that many people dispersed, leaving only citizens watching the excitement not far away, Li Yuanlang's tense heart finally eased.

So he persuaded patiently: "I think everyone has seen that those who fished in troubled waters have left, and the remaining ones are the comrade workers who are really worried about their livelihood."

"I'm still saying what I said, please go to the city government to discuss it in detail. Staying here in the cold is really not a good option."

At this time, a man in his thirties standing opposite Li Yuanlang said: "Secretary, we just want you to solve our difficulties. Just help us, even if you stand here for a few hours."

The middle-aged man in his fifties also expressed everyone's sentiments, "It doesn't matter where we talk, what's important is that we want to see satisfactory results."

In fact, the workers did not say it explicitly, but Li Yuanlang guessed their concerns.

He simply said: "In this case, I will immediately arrange for someone to arrange a nearby hotel with a large conference room. We will not go to the city hall to negotiate, but will change to the hotel. I guarantee that there will not be a policeman on site, only a few of us city leaders."

This was Li Yuanlang's way of showing sincerity.

The workers are indeed worried that if they enter the city hall, they will become birds in a cage and will not be able to fly out no matter how hard they fly.

"Please believe me, I will do what I say."

Li Yuanlang reiterated his decision again, and the people below whispered to each other and started discussing.

Within two minutes, everyone reached a consensus and agreed to Li Yuanlang's arrangement.

Lou Anguo followed Li Yuanlang's request and asked someone to immediately contact the hotel next to the city hall. News came back quickly that the conference room was empty and could be used at any time.

As the staff of the Municipal Party Committee led everyone away, Li Yuanlang finally got off the chair and his legs became numb when he stood.

He moved his legs and feet, but looked at the gate of the city hall.

From beginning to end, Mayor Fan Jun did not even show his face, which aroused his strong dissatisfaction.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Fan Jun hurriedly coming from the yard, panting and saying: "Secretary Li, I was on the phone with Zhang Sheng just now and didn't get here in time."

Before Li Yuanlang could respond, Jing Boxiao curled his lips and said, "Mayor Fan's call was really timely. If you don't answer it early, you won't answer it later. It's a coincidence that you answered it right after Secretary Li comforted him."

Fan Jun glared at Jing Boxiao fiercely, but was unable to refute.

Li Yuanlang suppressed his anger and said: "The municipal party committee office has arranged a hotel conference room, let's go and listen together."

After saying that, he strode toward the hotel.

Lou Anguo walked behind, and Meng Xianxin followed quickly and asked in a low voice: "Secretary-General, are our police forces staying near the hotel, just in case?"

"Didn't you listen to Secretary Li's words? Leave them all. Just leave a few people."

Following Lou Anguo's suggestion, Meng Xianxin hurriedly went to arrange it.

At the same moment, on the highway leading from Shenlin County to Lanqiao, a police car opened the way, followed by two red flag cars and six buses, and the convoy drove towards the city of Lanqiao.

In one of the red flag cars, Shenlin County Party Committee Secretary Wang Hui and County Magistrate Yin Yihuan were sitting side by side in the back seat.

Both of them looked solemn, especially Wang Hui.

There was no one else in the car except the driver and his secretary.

Wang Hui couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and complained to Yin Yihuan, "This Huang Yuanlong is simply lawless. I gave you countless warnings not to cause trouble at this moment. But he just didn't listen and made the matter worse and worse.

The secretary is already furious."

"That's what the secretary said." Yin Yihuan agreed: "We were passive to begin with, but now that Huang Yuanlong has done this, we have become even more passive."

Wang Hui did not respond to Yin Yihuan's words, but ordered to the co-pilot: "Xiao Ma, call Huang Yuanlong again. After he caused the trouble, he will become a turtle and leave us a mess. This kind of person,

Extremely abominable.”

Secretary Ma said "yes" and picked up the phone to call Huang Yuanlong.

Still saying "can't get through", Wang Hui became even more angry and almost cursed his mother.

He hammered the seat hard and looked out the window.

Yin Yihuan also shook his head helplessly, thinking that if he went to Lanqiao City to pick up petitioners this time, he would not get any good results.

He didn't want to come, but he couldn't help it. Both he and Wang Hui were responsible, and no one could escape.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and be prepared to be baptized by the storm.

Just when the two were thinking about their own thoughts, the red flag car suddenly slowed down and stopped slowly in the emergency lane.

Yin Yihuan slowly opened his eyes and planned to ask the driver.
