Iron Bull Legend

"On the day you set off the fireworks to recruit people, I also provided money and people. Although there are not many people in our factory, we have many friends. We have a week off and petition every day. I don't believe that the government will not intervene and release people. Otherwise, evil people will take over in the future."

"That's it. Let's see what the situation is and what this matter means."

"Don't worry. I heard that the new mayor is a good man. You don't know Huangmei Town yet. He is from there. He treats the people there as his family. He builds houses for them, buys food for them, and takes great care of them."

"I know this. He is from the north. There are real righteous men in the north. I have heard that northern men are all loyal and righteous. I believe he will step forward in this matter. He can't just watch such a good child die. It's such a pity."

"You know what, the men in the Northeast are different from the men in our South. They are men, and to put it bluntly, they are..."

"Shut up, you'll get beaten if you keep talking. Aren't we men too? Do you think I'm manly enough to think about something like this?"

"Then you still want to test me. If I were to ask you, I would just organize a petition and not let our child die in vain. My conscience would not allow it."

"I'm not talking about being a man or not. I just want to see the government's attitude. I also want them to find out what's going on. They need to be reasonable and not reckless."

Tie Niu knew that this matter had begun to ferment, and he was very willing to see such a situation. He could completely use this incident to resolve the personnel reform in the political and legal departments, as well as hold those responsible for some unreasonable unjust and wrong cases accountable.

With such an excuse and opportunity, he would speed up the progress of this matter, and would also solve the enemy's hidden chess piece at the Municipal Bureau as soon as possible. While he was thinking, he had finished his food, paid, stood up and left.

After returning to his office, it was still early for the meeting at the provincial government, so Tie Niu sorted out the things that needed to be done today and wrote them down on paper one by one, because these needed to be given to Wang Ping. Having a secretary is like a kite tied with a string, even if he is the mayor.

After a while, it was around 7:40 when Wang Ping arrived. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tie Niu sitting there looking at him. He couldn't help feeling a little scared because Tie Niu's eyes were staring at him.

"Did you go to farm last night?" Tie Niu looked at a very faint strawberry mark on Wang Ping's neck and couldn't help but think of the things they often did and the jokes they made when they were mercenaries.

"I don't farm, I just sleep at home. Also, I don't have any land at home. Why are you talking so seriously, Mayor?" Wang Ping asked in confusion.

"Haha, forget it. When you go out, turn up your collar so that no one can see the seeds you sowed, okay?" Tie Niu pointed at the mark on Wang Ping's neck and smiled.

"Ah, she hasn't gone down yet? She...she said she wanted to stamp it to declare her sovereignty." Wang Ping felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Now that you've confirmed your relationship, you should discuss the marriage as soon as possible. The girl is nice, and Director Jiao is a good person. Now, he's the deputy mayor, so you have to curry favor with him." Tie Niu joked.

"Mayor, I don't even have a nest now. Where will I lay my eggs in the future? I'm in a bit of a difficult situation." Wang Ping's mouth was full of bitterness. He had just started working not long ago and his parents didn't have much savings. It was really too early to talk about getting married now.

"Remember, you are mine. I will find you a house for your wedding. By the way, you can drive that car. As for the banquet, I will not take care of it. You can afford it, right? It can be done at the Lan's Hotel. I will charge you the cost. This is for you. Find a craftsman to make a ring for you. This is the necklace. That's all I can do to help you." Tie Niu took out a jade necklace like a magician. The quality of the jade necklace was pretty good, with a glutinous and icy texture and floating flowers.

"Mayor, what can I say? I'm so excited that I won't say thank you. When you get married, can we become relatives?" Wang Ping's eyes were red.

"You wish. What kind of society is this? We'll talk about the future later."

"No, your family is big and powerful, and we are family. What's yours is mine, right?" Wang Ping happily changed his previous dilemma and his face became bright.

"What do you mean? Are you coveting my property? Don't even think about it. That's impossible. I have to marry ten or eight wives. How can I give you the money?" Tie Niu was also joking. He felt very happy with Wang Ping, just like when he was with big black Bob in the Imperial College.

"Mayor, there's an uproar out there right now. There's a huge reaction to yesterday's murder. You have to be careful in handling this matter and don't let certain people take advantage of it. If someone with ulterior motives blows something like this out of proportion, it will be bad for you." Wang Ping suddenly changed the subject.

"What are the rumors? Tell me about them." Tie Niu also became curious.

"It's said outside that you're retaliating. It's been such a long time since the case started, and you're still attacking me because you have a problem with the former leadership. Do you know that the former leader has now gone to the governor, the current deputy governor in charge of public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs, Wei Zhongshu? You'll meet him when you go to the provincial meeting today."

"Oh, so he was the one who gave the order back then? Did he also accept the 100,000 bribe?" Tie Niu asked casually.

"You know about such a secret matter? One hundred thousand five years ago was not a small amount. However, I don't think it's possible that he received one hundred thousand. After all, there are many connections involved and they all need to be taken care of."

"Yes, that is indeed the case. However, this incident is indeed related to him. If the original case had been handled impartially, there would not have been a murder today. He is also responsible. As a major leader in the city, interfering with judicial justice is illegal."

"My Lord Mayor, there are so many illegal things. Don't you know that Wei Zhongshu has someone in the upper echelons? It's best not to confront him head-on. It's not good for you."

"Wang Ping, do you know why your father-in-law Jiao Yuankui has been able to go so far? It's because he works seriously and is not greedy or scheming. That's why I can use him. You can't lose your original intention. We are the servants of the people and we work for the people. We must never bow to power, understand?"

"I understand this, but the label 'deputy' has not been removed from your head. Those people are not only connected to those above, but also have complicated connections in our province and city. The People's Congress after the New Year is very critical."

"Haha, don't worry about this matter. Get in touch with the people from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, learn more about those gossips, and listen to other people's opinions."

"Even if you don't explain this, it's my job. I will definitely pay attention to it. However, you are going to the provincial government for a meeting today. If this gets out, Vice Governor Wei will definitely make things difficult for you."

"Not really. If a vice governor doesn't have this kind of broad mind, then he doesn't deserve to be in that position. Besides, we are enforcing the law normally, and there is no violation of discipline or regulations."

"Alas, Mayor, this world cannot revolve around you. In this big melting pot of officialdom, any kind of situation can happen. Moreover, you have already touched someone's reverse scale. If you overturn the case, it will be a slap in the face of Vice Governor Wei, which will be embarrassing."

"This is a fact. We are only enforcing the law impartially. We are not specifically targeting Vice Governor Wei. Could it be that we will let the unjust case drag on just to save his face? Will we stop doing anything just to save his power?"

"Mayor, it's not that we don't do anything, but we need to be skillful in doing this. I don't know who has directly linked you to Vice Governor Wei, saying that you went there just for Vice Governor Wei and that you are avenging a personal vendetta."

"You can't say that. I don't even know who Vice Governor Wei is or what he looks like. Do I need to target him? You are just fooling yourself."

"This is just your personal opinion. Don't you smell any hint of conspiracy?"

"It is indeed somewhat surprising that this matter has fermented to such a level in such a short period of time. I really don't believe that there is no one behind the scenes fanning the flames. However, this matter is already in the process of investigation, and the specific person who failed to fulfill his duty is not clear. It is too early to say anything."

"Do you think it is possible that the real bribe-taker did not take the 100,000 yuan, or that Vice Governor Wei did not get a penny and was blamed by someone else?" Wang Ping suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, like Sherlock Holmes solving a case, and made a new discovery.

"It's not a bad idea, but we have to rely on evidence and not hearsay. Let's wait for the city bureau's trial results."

"I think so too, but you must be careful not to be hurt by someone's hidden arrows. This matter has been going on for five years. It is really not easy to find the truth of that year. What's more, there are people behind the scenes controlling all this, which will make you even more defenseless."

Tie Niu sat there thinking. He didn't expect that the provincial party committee leader would appear in this matter. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be really annoying.

At the same time, Tie Niu also learned from Wang Ping's words that things happened so quickly and fermented so seriously, and the person behind the scenes who fanned the flames must have thought it over carefully and had made a good layout specifically targeting him.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely be very disadvantageous to himself. Now, he needs to find out the person behind the scenes. Now, Tie Niu has become much calmer.

Some people in official circles have become hooligans, which are even more disgusting than the hooligans in society. This is the situation now. Tie Niu knows the ins and outs of it very well. If he doesn't handle it well, he will really be used by others. He is not stupid.

"Mayor, time is running out. You should go to the provincial government for a meeting," Wang Ping reminded at the right time.

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Tie Niu stood up and walked out directly. He went downstairs and drove directly to the provincial government. This time he drove an ordinary car among his people. However, he didn't know that even an ordinary car would be targeted as soon as it appeared in the provincial government.

There was no bad car in Tie Niu's hands, each of them was extremely domineering. Moreover, although this car was ordinary, its mighty appearance and tough momentum, as soon as it stopped in front of the provincial government compound, killed all the cars in the parking lot.

Tie Niu realized the problem as soon as he got out of the car, looked at his own car and then at all the cars in the parking lot. However, it was too late. He might as well take the car provided by the city.

He walked towards the conference room, where the top leaders of various cities were chatting with each other in groups of three or four. After all, these people were veterans who had been immersed in the officialdom for many years and were familiar with each other. Only he, a newcomer in the officialdom, did not know anyone.

Tie Niu walked into the meeting room and found a seat at the back and sat down. He didn't want to sit at the front, and finding a seat at the back would be more convenient when he left after the meeting.

"Brother, which city are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" Tie Niu had just sat down when a middle-aged man next to him greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, I'm from Yangcheng, how about you, brother?" Tie Niu saw that the middle-aged man had a very kind face, so he became interested in chatting.

"Haha, I'm the mayor of Jiecheng, Shen Jinnan," the middle-aged man said as he stretched out his hand.
