In just a second, a farmer rushed out from the crowd.
Several officials inspecting the industrial zone with Chen Feng hadn't even reacted before they watched the farmer charge at Chen Feng.
The next second, the farmer directly pulled out a dagger.
Everyone around was stunned.
Damn, it's over. The deputy mayor of Ming City is definitely going to die this time.
Firstly, who would have thought such a harmonious inspection would suddenly have someone who was fearless?
Secondly, this fearless person was too close to Chen Feng's position.
With only half a meter distance, coupled with the rapid charge, even a god couldn't avoid this sudden dagger.
Everyone was so scared they instinctively closed their eyes.
A few seconds later, everyone finally came back to their senses and opened their eyes. They were all dizzy.
Damn, what happened? Chen Feng was unharmed.
The farmer who was preparing for mutual destruction had somehow fallen to the ground.
Even the fight scenes in novels weren't this exaggerated.
"Elder Chen, are you alright?"
Everyone quickly pinned the farmer to the ground while anxiously asking Chen Feng.
"Let him go."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Elder Chen, this person is very dangerous, we can't let him go. We have to wait for the police to arrive."
Everyone said with lingering fear.
"It's alright, I practice Huaxia martial arts, this person can't hurt me."
Chen Feng said calmly as always.
Hearing Chen Feng say this, everyone could only comply.
"Is it because the land compensation was too little?"
Chen Feng cut to the chase and asked.
"If it were just that the land compensation was too little, I wouldn't want to kill anyone. The problem is, you people are too greedy and didn't give us a cent. Your reason was that I used to ride a motorcycle drunk. I'm not qualified to receive land subsidies. Isn't this bullying? Even in this situation, I still didn't want to kill. We ordinary people just want to live a normal life, and getting rich would be even better. So, I wanted to reason with you, to discuss this matter properly. Who knew that you would directly detain me at the police station for half a year? You ruined me, so I'll kill you."
The farmer roared with bloodshot eyes.
"I know everything you're talking about. However, I can responsibly tell you that I was also deceived."
Chen Feng said sincerely.
"Ah?"
The farmer was confused by Chen Feng's sincerity.
In his impression, wasn't the Huaxia officialdom characterized by officials protecting each other?
"Don't doubt it, I'm telling the truth. I was indeed deceived by these managers in the industrial zone. However, it's alright, they will be brought to justice. As for your family, and all other families whose land was requisitioned, you will all receive the money you deserve by today."
Chen Feng continued to say with sincerity.
"Really?"
The farmer asked disbelievingly.
"Send me your account number. I'll have the municipal finance department transfer your money first, and the money for the other families will follow."
"Elder Chen, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"
The farmer asked with disbelief.
"In front of everyone, how could I trick you? Besides, this is about real money, how could I trick you?"
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
The farmer, half-believing, gave his account number to Chen Feng. Without further ado, Chen Feng immediately called the Ming City Finance Bureau.
The head of the Finance Bureau replied with difficulty.
Approving such a large sum of money suddenly was not in accordance with procedure and could not be processed.
"Cannot process? Alright, you resign now, and I'll find someone who can. You've been in officialdom for so long, don't you know about special circumstances requiring special measures?"
Chen Feng retorted directly.
People in officialdom like this.
They have a thousand ways to avoid procedures when doing bad things.
But when it comes to doing good deeds or practical things, they pretend to be cautious and adhere to procedures.
Isn't this ridiculous?
"Elder Chen, this..."
The head of the Finance Bureau still wanted to perfunctory.
He could handle special circumstances requiring special measures.
However, he would only do it if there were benefits.
Without benefits, how could he take the risk of special treatment?
Chen Feng was not a fool, and he naturally understood the hidden agenda of the head of the Finance Bureau.
Without a word, he hung up the phone.
Eager to take money but slow to do proper work, such people should be fired.
Therefore, Chen Feng called the deputy director.
Chen Feng opened his mouth and said.
If he could handle special circumstances requiring special measures, he would be immediately promoted.
This deputy director was an experienced official and naturally chose to obey Chen Feng.
The mayor of Ming City was Qin Yan.
Who was Qin Yan? Qin Yan was Chen Feng's woman.
Also, the deputy mayor of Ming City.
With such a lineup, they would definitely listen to Chen Feng.
In officialdom, one must rely on a big tree for shade.
Within five minutes, the farmer's rightful million-plus had arrived in his account.
"The money has really arrived?"
The farmer was stunned.
Had he encountered the legendary good and upright official?
"I can fake other things, but how can I fake real money?"
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Elder Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Kill me, I'll pay for misunderstanding you."
The farmer said, kneeling before Chen Feng.
"Please don't think like that. Although you misunderstood me, it wasn't your personal fault, but rather that I didn't do a good job. If I had managed my subordinates properly, they wouldn't have been able to harm you so unscrupulously. Alright, don't think too much about it. Now that you have the money, hurry up and do what you want to do."
Chen Feng comforted the farmer.
The farmer was deeply moved by Chen Feng's words and kowtowed several times without hesitation.
Chen Feng immediately helped the farmer up.
After a few more words, Chen Feng immediately returned to his office.
The director and deputy director of the industrial zone must be arrested. If they were severely punished, they would spend their lives in prison.
The reason was simple: in the past few days, they had been preying on the common people without any bottom line, harming them as ruthlessly as possible.
Such people, if they remained in officialdom, would be the greatest harm to the people.
Furthermore, these two had tried to kill him, the deputy mayor of Ming City, which was simply audacious! If such people weren't imprisoned, they would always be a time bomb, and he might die at their hands one day.
"Chen Feng, are you really going to send the director and deputy director of the industrial zone to prison?"
Qin Yan asked seriously.
"These two scum, just resigning is clearly not enough. Given the chance, they will return, posing a huge hidden danger to my safety and to the people, so they must be completely eradicated."
Chen Feng was open and honest, saying what he thought.
"Chen Feng, to put it bluntly, the director and deputy director of the industrial zone are desperadoes in uniform. Forcing them too hard, isn't that not good?"
Qin Yan asked with concern.
"Mayor Qin, I understand your mindset. Honestly, most people in Huaxia have this mentality. They keep their distance from desperadoes. Honestly, I have this mentality too. The one who has shoes doesn't necessarily have to confront the barefoot one head-on. But the problem is, I want to keep my distance, but I can't. Think about it, will the director and deputy director of the industrial zone let me off? Politics is bloody. Either they go to prison, or I go to prison. There's no choice."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
"However, they have good relationships with several local ruffians in the industrial zone and the police station. How can you arrest them and send them to prison?"
Qin Yan continued to ask with concern.
"Mayor Qin, honestly, I'm not afraid of them having connections in the underworld or official circles. I'm afraid of them not having any connections and just secretly causing trouble. Dealing with such people is difficult."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Chen Feng, from what you're saying, you've thought of a way to deal with the director and deputy director of the industrial zone?"
Qin Yan asked excitedly.
