Fortunately, his integrity and sense of justice overca his timidity and cowardice. He stepped forward and said, "Police officers, I am the witness!"
As soon as he spoke, his family surrounded him again, as if wanting to devour him alive, stripping him of his clothes.
"Tian Laosan, you really have guts! I warn you, watch your mouth!" Village head Xie Guangsheng threatened.
When the police saw this, they rushed through the crowd and asked Mr. Tian, "Did you call the police? Just make a note of it!"
Mr. Tian looked around, took a deep breath, and frankly said, "They are not human traffickers at all. They ca to check the herb seeds I planted."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Xie family started quarreling again, accusing Mr. Tian of harboring bad people and saying he was in cahoots with Zhang Boao.
Zhang Bode, standing on the wall, was deeply moved when he saw Mr. Tian stepping up at a crucial mont to testify for him under imnse pressure.
"Alright! Shut up! This is endless, isn’t it? Wrongfully accusing people like an addiction?!" Zhang Dadan shouted boldly.
The brave police officer in charge suddenly beca fierce-faced when he got angry, worried that he might cause more trouble, so he quickly stopped.
"Don’t ss around! We’ll find out! Never let the bad guy go, never wrong the good guy!"
The police officer on record turned back, looked into his eyes, and signaled him to be quiet before continuing to ask Mr. Tian,
"They ca to see you, to check the dicinal plants you planted. Why did they have a conflict with the villagers?"
Mr. Tian gritted his teeth and frankly said, "These kids scratched the car. They wanted compensation from the parents. As a result... it beca a siege."
The Xie family saw that Zhang Bode might be regarded as a big trafficker. However, Mr. Tian suddenly testified for him, which made them even angrier.
How could this old Tian ddle so much and bring harm to our family?
"Tian Laosan, you ddleso fool! You’re with them, aren’t you? See if I don’t kill you!" A strong man cursed.
In the middle of the conversation, a fist the size of a saucepan punched Mr. Tian’s face, knocking him to the ground. The burly man wanted to continue beating Mr. Tian, but the police intervened just in ti.
Zhang Daqi boldly looked at Mr. Tian, who had been beaten because of him. Thinking about Mr. Tian’s future difficulties in the village, he couldn’t bear it any longer. He couldn’t allow others to suffer because of him!
"Officer, I am not a prisoner yet. May I make a phone call?" Zhang Dadan boldly asked the police around him.
The police thought for a mont, nodded, and Zhang Dadan took out his phone and called Zheng Xingyu.
Zheng Xingyu was reviewing docunts. Seeing the call from Zhang Dadan, he quickly put down his files and answered, respectfully asked, "Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Daqi not only saved Zheng Xingyu’s son but also protected the family’s grievances. He was very kind to him, though not too polite.
"Mr. Zheng, I am now in Funiu Village, thirty miles outside of Yuan’an County. I’m being bullied by the village rogues. Can you send soone to handle it?" Zhang Dadan asked boldly.
Zheng Xingyu was very angry when he heard this. Zhang Boao was his benefactor, yet he was being wronged under his administration. Isn’t that a slap in the face?
"Mr. Zhang, don’t worry! I will handle it personally! I’ll ensure you get a fair treatnt!" Zheng Xingyu responded.
To help to the end, hearing that Zheng Xingyu wanted to co personally, Zhang Daqi prepared to directly correct the Xie family’s integrity.
"Mr. Zheng, if it’s convenient, please gather the people from the environntal departnt!" Zhang Dadan requested boldly.
Even though Zheng Xingyu felt puzzled, he didn’t think much about it. He directly agreed to Zhang’s bold request and ordered the Environntal Bureau to send people to Funiu Village.
By this ti, Funiu Village had completely exploded, and the whole village, old and young, had gathered at the village entrance to watch.
One of Mr. Tian’s brothers saw him in conflict with the Xie family and hurried to stop him, saying, "Sang Ge, if you’re drunk, go ho to sleep. Don’t talk nonsense when you’re drunk."
Then he flattered the police officer, saying, "Police officer, my brother drank last night, he’s talking nonsense. Don’t believe him."
The Xie family saw him co out and said Mr. Tian was drunk.
The sudden appearance of Zheng Xingyu shocked everyone who knew his identity. Xie Guangsheng beca even more frightened.
But when Zhang Daqi bravely explained to Zheng Xingyu what had happened, one of the Xie family beca furious and said, "These people are trying to cover up for the traffickers. Don’t let them get away with it!"
Xie Guangsheng was scared out of his wits when he heard that his foolish people had frad Zheng Xingyu and others.
In front of everyone, Xie Guangsheng took out an arrow and fiercely slapped his own face.
"You fool! Who told you to speak nonsense... speak nonsense again, will you!" Xie Guangsheng scolded him harshly.
His sudden abnormal behavior not only stunned his family but also confused the crowd.
The gossiping souls of the villagers were burning. Why did the village head put so much pressure on this? Did he say sothing wrong? Is there sothing hidden?
Zhang Dadan told Zheng Xingyu the whole story and loudly said, "Alright, Director Xie. Stop putting on a show."
With a serious face, Xie Guangsheng looked at Zheng Xingyu, then proudly at Zhang Daqi, who was gloating over his misfortune, fallen into distress.
He saw that Zheng Xingyu and Zhang Bo had a good relationship. He would definitely choose to believe Zhang Bo. Should he wait for death?
Once it is admitted that he frad Zhang Dadan and ordered people to surround him, he fears he’ll end up in jail.
As the local emperor of Funiu Village, attracting the attention of all ethnic groups, Xie Guangsheng was determined to stubbornly bite Zhang and not let go.
"You...you dare to brazenly peddle!" Xie Guangsheng deliberately ignored Zheng Xingyu and continued to yell at Zhang Daqi.
Although Xie Guangsheng was fickle, he had to support himself. After all, they were all his family.
"This...your private trafficker, don’t rely on it...don’t be too arrogant!" Those who had just been beaten quickly accused Zhang boldly according to Xie Guangsheng’s words.
A group of people from the Xie family again exploded, wildly cursing Zhang Daqi, ignoring the presence of Zheng Xingyu and his party.
The leaders of the Environntal Bureau were shocked when they saw Xie Guangsheng ignoring Zheng Xingyu’s presence.
The police handling the matter rushed to Xie Guangsheng’s side and angrily shouted, "What’s wrong with you? Don’t you recognize Director Zheng? Tell your people to disperse imdiately!"
Determined to persist, Xie Guangsheng heard the police’s warning but did not retreat. Instead, he beca more aggressive.
"Shouldn’t you act according to the law? I don’t recognize the county head. What does that have to do with this?" Xie Guangsheng retorted in a low voice.
Zheng Xingyu, who had been watching from the wall, grew angrier as he saw these people reversing right and wrong and disregarding the law.
"Village head Xie Guangsheng, co here to ..." Zheng Xingyu shouted angrily, making the scene quiet down.
Xie Guangsheng hesitated for a mont, took a deep breath, walked over generously, nodded to Zheng Xingyu, and asked, "Leader, what can I do for you?"
His feigned ignorance made Zheng Xingyu even angrier. If all grassroots units were like him, would they?
"What’s going on? What happened? Did you blackmail, threaten, or falsely accuse him of being a trafficker? Do you know these are serious cris?" Zheng Xingyu questioned.
