Chapter 436 The Trump Card
"What's wrong? Isn't Mr. Tang a big shot? How could anything happen to him?"
"Who knows? Anyhow, since we've received Mr. Tang's kindness, if he's in trouble, we must help."
"That's right, anyone who dares to give Mr. Tang a hard time is picking a fight with us."
"Mr. Tang is our living Bodhisattva. I'll sort out anyone who gives him a hard time, the damn scoundrel."
Such conversations were happening in every village.
Each village had dozens of households, and each household had at least three or four people.
Over two hundred people quickly gathered at the village entrance's basketball court.
This was donated by Tang Zhenshan, who said it was for the village children to play basketball and get exercise.
By the side of the basketball court, there were also a few ping-pong tables.
Standing on one of the ping-pong tables was a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was the last person Mr. Tang called, named Feng Lei.
Feng Lei, with a stern face, saw that everyone had arrived and said in a deep voice, "Fellow villagers, now that everyone is here, I'll explain the situation. Mr. Tang has been framed and is about to be arrested by the police. What should we do!"
"What else can we do? Let's go and stop the police right now, we can't let them arrest Mr. Tang," an old man said.
"That's right, we can't let the police arrest Mr. Tang."
"Whoever tries to arrest Mr. Tang is making an enemy of us!"
"We must not let off whoever framed Mr. Tang."
"Right now, the main thing is to stop the police from arresting Mr. Tang. Feng, you lead us to find Mr. Tang. We must stop the police!"
Everyone echoed in agreement.
Feng Lei was very pleased with the villagers' attitude. Still with a serious face, he said, "Mr. Tang is in the provincial city. We are hundreds of kilometers away from the provincial city. By the time we get there, Mr. Tang might already be locked up in jail, and if someone plays a trick, he might even die there!"
A burly man immediately said, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Tang has been so good to us, visiting us every year, giving us money, food, and other necessities. We are people who remember kindness and are willing to repay it. Just tell us what we should do to save Mr. Tang.
Even if it means climbing mountains of swords or plunging into seas of fire, we won't shy away."
The burly man's words struck a chord with everyone.
"That's right, without Mr. Tang, we wouldn't have the life we have now. We absolutely can't let anything happen to Mr. Tang."
"I owe my longevity to Mr. Tang's generosity with money and necessities. Whoever wants to harm Mr. Tang, I'll never agree to it."
"It's Mr. Tang who built a school here. My child wouldn't have had an education otherwise. Anyone who harms Mr. Tang is cutting off my child's future, and I'll never agree to it."
"..."
The villagers were indignant and shouted one after another.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently stirred up, Feng Lei said, "It's good you all understand. Mr. Tang is about to be arrested by the police. What kind of people are the police? They are the officials. We will go to the officials.
We can't let the officials arrest Mr. Tang, and even if they do arrest Mr. Tang, we must make the officials release him!"
Someone asked, "Which officials should we go see?"
Feng Lei encouraged them, "We'll go to the town first. If the town hears our pleas, they will surely convey them to the provincial city. If it doesn't work in the town, we'll go to the county. If the county doesn't work, then we'll move on to the provincial city. No matter what, we must save Mr. Tang.
If we can't save Mr. Tang, we won't come back!"
"Good, let's go to the town first!"
Those with children at home let the women take the kids back, while the rest headed towards Guanglin Town Hall.
The villagers carried torches, their numbers vast and momentum formidable.
The situation quickly alarmed the provincial government.
The Provincial Government Building.
At this time, everyone should have already left work.
But here, it was as busy as during the daytime, with phones ringing incessantly.
"What exactly is going on, why are so many people gathered at the entrance of Guanglin Town Hall!"
"What, another village's residents have arrived?!"
"Have you figured out the reason why these villagers are gathering yet?"
"What? Save Tang Zhen Shan? He has committed so many illegal acts, he should be sentenced to death already, what are these villagers saving him for?"
"What! Tang Zhen Shan usually bought off all the villages in Guanglin Town with small favors, that's just despicable!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"We have already sent the police to apprehend Tang Zhen Shan from the Tang Family, but they haven't brought him back yet!"
"The count has already surpassed two thousand? You must pacify the villagers, and do not let the situation escalate!"
"Even if it's not easy to calm them down, you must do it. We are here to serve the people, no matter the difficulty, we must find a solution!"
"Absolutely do not conflict with the villagers, nor allow any villager to get hurt. You must pacify them; think of a solution, and we will also try to come up with one as soon as possible!"
...
Ma Yangrong came into Xu Yang's office.
Ma Yangrong said, "Mr. Xu, we have found out that Tang Zhen Shan has bribed the villagers from those villages in Guanglin Town. Over two thousand of them have gathered at the entrance of Guanglin Town Hall, and the number is still rising. Now even the provincial government is in a tough spot.
The police sent to the Tang Family to arrest Tang Zhen Shan, don't dare to touch him; they are just making sure he doesn't leave."
Xu Yang frowned and said, "This guy, he really has some tricks up his sleeve. It seems this is his last resort."
Ma Yangrong said, "Tang Zhen Shan must have foreseen a day like this, planning to use this method to get away. If this is not handled well and something happens to those villagers, the leadership of the provincial government will be held accountable. This is very detrimental to an official's career. With no solution in sight, they really dare not touch Tang Zhen Shan.

If they can't think of a solution, and the villagers' emotions get out of control, then the trouble really starts. In the end, the provincial government might indeed have to agree with Tang Zhen Shan and let him leave."
At that moment, Xu Yang's phone rang.
It was a call from Tang Zhen Shan.
After picking up, he heard Tang Zhen Shan's triumphant voice, "Haha, Xu Yang, now you know my methods, right? I'll tell you, the police are right next to me, but they just don't dare to arrest me. In less than an hour, the officials will definitely let me go. Just wait, I will come back and deal with you."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Zhen Shan, seated on a sofa, legs crossed with a cigar in his mouth, had a glass of red wine on the table in front of him.
His demeanor was not that of a suspect about to be arrested but rather of a boss enjoying life.
Several policemen around him were itching with hate to see Tang Zhen Shan being so defiant.
But there was nothing they could do; they had received orders not to arrest Tang Zhen Shan but to restrict his movements while waiting for further instructions.
Xu Yang said, "Do you think that everyone has no way to deal with you, and that the officials will just let you go?"
Tang Zhen Shan arrogantly replied, "Do I even need to say it? It's the inevitable result."
Xu Yang sneered, "Just wait. No matter what, you won't be able to escape."
After hanging up, Xu Yang said to Ma Yangrong, "Let our people move."
Ma Yangrong nodded and said, "They're already on their way. It's just over twenty more minutes to Guanglin Town Hall."
Xu Yang said, "Call the provincial government side and tell them we have a way to solve the villagers' problem and that they should not let Tang Zhen Shan go."
Ma Yangrong nodded and replied, "I will do that."
