"What's the matter?" Li Yuanlang and Zhang Laizuo asked at the same time.

"I saw..." Guan Yifu looked around seriously and said in a low voice: "I saw Hou Dianyou, the village director of Houcheng Village, being put into a police car and taken away."

Li Yuanlang was suddenly shocked, "Dianyou Hou was taken away by the police?"

"Yes." Guan Yifu nodded repeatedly and said, "It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Where?"

Guan Yifu pointed in that direction, Li Yuanlang immediately got up and went to check, and Zhang Laizuo followed suit.

Guan Yifu couldn't leave, he would make a fool of himself if he thought they were evading the bill.

Li Yuanlang walked less than 200 meters and saw a large group of people gathered together, talking in a hurry.

"It's so outrageous. Why did you arrest Director Hou?"

"I heard that it was because he collected the parking fees for the cars of the district leaders and the director of the district public security bureau. Director Hou was arrested after the director gave the order."

"What!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Director Hou and Party Secretary Zhang have done so many good things for us guys, but they were taken away for no reason. No, we can't just watch. We must file a complaint with the district government."

Someone immediately reminded me: "What time is it? The district government has already got off work. Who can I call?"

"Then wait until tomorrow morning. Guo Wu, please contact people quickly. Each family will send a representative. Tomorrow, they will go to the district government to ask for someone. If they are not given, we will just sit here and wait until they are released."

"Yes, I agree."

"Let's go, everyone, go back and contact the person, Guo Wu, don't forget to tell Party Secretary Zhang."

As the voices of the crowd fell, the people gathered together quickly dispersed, leaving only a few old men and old ladies.

Li Yuanlang secretly recorded the scene just now with his mobile phone. He felt that the situation was serious.

From what I hear, these people are all villagers from Houcheng Village. If what they said is true, if these people gather at the gate of the district government tomorrow morning, it is inevitable that a mass incident will occur.

No, we must find a way to stop it immediately.

Of course, it is impossible to stop the villagers. The only way is to report the matter to the superiors, especially the district party secretary Tang Zhi, so that countermeasures can be studied as soon as possible.

It's past ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Yuanlang could not call Tang Zhi rashly, even though he and Tang Zhi got along very well.

Everything must be prioritized, and the pot, table, and kang should not be separated from each other. This is a taboo in officialdom.

He could only report to Li Keyei first.

But when I called Li Kewei's cell phone, no one answered.

Li Yuanlang was not discouraged and hit him a second time.

This time it was a woman who answered the call. She told Li Yuanlang in an extremely nonchalant tone that Li Kewei had drunk too much and was inconvenient to answer the phone. Then she hung up the phone unceremoniously.

No matter what the situation, it's so rude to not wait for yourself to speak.

Li Yuanlang was angry, but it was not the time to get angry.

In desperation, he gritted his teeth and dialed Tang Zhi's cell phone directly.

It also rang for a long time before Tang Zhi's lazy voice came: "Who is it?"

"Secretary Tang, I am Li Yuanlang."

"Oh, it's Yuen Long. What's wrong so late?"

Fortunately, at least Tang Zhi was not unhappy.

Li Yuanlang kept his story short and told the story of Dianyou Hou being arrested by the district bureau.

There is also the story of how Houcheng villagers are going to the district government to ask for someone tomorrow morning.

"This is happening!" Tang Zhi said in a surprised tone. Apparently, he had taken it seriously.

"You go to my office now and we will meet in detail."

Okay, I can't drink any more. Li Yuanlang could only apologize and bow his hands.

Zhang Laizuo knew that Li Yuanlang was busy with business, so he patted him on the shoulder understandingly and said, "Go quickly."

It was far away from the district committee, and it took Li Yuanlang a long time to take a taxi. By the time he arrived at Tang Zhi's office, it was already forty minutes later.

Tang Zhi was on the phone, and his tone was very angry, and he was shouting.

"Qu Zhanying, you are a pig. If you say you want to arrest people, you will arrest them. The branch is run by your family, so you can do whatever you want!"

Qu Zhanying is the deputy mayor of Xiangyun District and the director of the district public security bureau. He is the direct party who issued the order to arrest Hou Dianyou.

No wonder Tang Zhi got angry, judging from this, the information Li Yuanlang received was accurate.

I don’t know what Qu Zhanying said on the phone. Anyway, Tang Zhi shouted sternly: "Within half an hour, you come to me quickly. If you are late for one minute, I will only ask you!"

With a "pop" sound, Tang Zhi threw the microphone angrily.

Li Yuanlang walked over, put the phone away neatly, and stood next to Tang Zhi to listen to his instructions.

After a long while, Tang Zhicai calmed down.

He said to Li Yuanlang in a slightly calm tone: "Yuen Long, thank you for your timely discovery. If the situation is allowed to continue and cause a large-scale mass incident, our Xiangyun District will become famous."

"This is what I should do." Just one sentence is enough, but saying too much is useless.

Tang Zhi sat on a chair, motioned for Li Yuanlang to sit opposite him, and asked, "Have you called Kewei?"

"I called." Li Yuanlang replied decisively, "Maybe his wife answered the call, saying that he... said that he couldn't answer the phone for the time being."

It's not that Li Yuanlang was snitching behind his back. He couldn't hide such a serious matter and had to seek truth from facts.

Tang Zhi frowned, forming a big pimple, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not call him. Yuen Long, you stay for a while and temporarily take over the duties of his secretary."

"I understand." Li Yuanlang nodded deeply.

Tang Zhi gave Qu Zhanying half an hour, but Qu Zhanying was very quick and arrived in twenty minutes.

Seeing Li Yuanlang guarding the door of Tang Zhi's office, Qu Zhanying was stunned for a moment, and without caring about anything else, he asked eagerly: "Is Secretary Tang here?"

"Waiting for you." Li Yuanlang replied calmly.

"Please tell me that Qu Zhanying has arrived." Qu Zhanying didn't even know Li Yuanlang's last name, so he had to say this.

When he walked into Tang Zhi's office, Li Yuanlang did not go in to make tea, but still stood outside, listening to what was going on inside in order to make an appropriate response.

Soon, Tang Zhi's roar came from inside, apparently scolding Qu Zhanying.

From the moment he met Qu Zhanying, Li Yuanlang smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

This guy also drank like me.

Yes, how could he do such a stupid thing without drinking?

Ten minutes later, Qu Zhanying came out with a disgraced look, lowered his head and left.

Li Yuanlang walked into Tang Zhi's office. Secretary Tang was still angry. He was smoking heavily and muttering with a livid face: "Qu Zhanying and Gu Han, a pair of idiots, for the parking fee of more than ten yuan, they actually went with

There was a quarrel between the security guards. In a fit of rage, Qu Zhanying took advantage of the drunkenness and arrested Hou Dianyou."

"Hou Dianyou, the current village committee, has done a lot of good things for the villagers, benefiting everyone, and has a high reputation among the villagers. If he is arrested, how can the villagers just let it go and not make trouble?"

"Yuen Long, fortunately you found out in time. I have asked Qu Zhanying to apologize to Hou Dianyou and ask him to release him immediately."

It must be said that Tang Zhi's decisive and timely response and the release of Hou Dianyou were the key to solving the crisis.

Only by returning unscathed can he calm the anger of the villagers and prevent the matter from amplifying the situation.

However, Li Yuanlang was also worried. He walked up to Tang Zhi, took out his mobile phone, retrieved the picture and handed it to Tang Zhi.

"What is this?" Tang Zhi was stunned and looked confused.

"Secretary Tang, I just checked the video and saw that someone had posted the video of the police taking Director Hou away. You can see the comments below, they are very enthusiastic. I am afraid that the situation will escalate further..."

"Really?" Tang Zhi took it and took a closer look, his face once again fell into panic.

Now is the 5G era, and inquiries spread very quickly.

With a mobile phone in everyone's hand, they can record anything they see around them at any time and publish it through the Internet, which can quickly cause widespread dissemination and attract people's attention.

"This..." Tang Zhi did not expect that a seemingly inconspicuous thing would have such amazing power of communication.

Once the news is widely disseminated, and someone deliberately fabricates the facts to set the pace for netizens who don't know the truth, small things will turn into big things, and big things will turn into bad things.

The District Committee was passive and did not say anything, alarming the Lugao Municipal Committee. If the responsibility really needs to be investigated, Tang Zhi, as the squad leader of the Xiangyun District Committee, will bear the brunt.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Tang Zhi's mind went blank and he suddenly became confused.
