afternoon.
On the way back.
Ahead is a small dirt road that is not in good condition. It is very desolate, with only some grass around it, and the road surface is also bumpy, making it difficult to walk.
On the Land Rover.
Jiang Fangfang raised her eyes and said, "Drive slower."
"Yes, County Magistrate Jiang." Chen Xiaomei slowed down the car again.
"The front is a little bumpy." Jiang Fangfang stretched out her hand to support Dong Xuebin, "Can you do it?"
Dong Xuebin forced a smile and said, "Thank you County Magistrate Jiang for your concern. I'm really fine, just a minor injury."
Jiang Fangfang looked at him and said: "Seven or eight fractures all over the body or minor injuries? Anyway, just sit still."
Feeling Jiang Fangfang's heartfelt concern, Dong Xuebin stopped being pretentious and let her support him.
After a while, all three cars were walking on this bumpy road. The car driven by Zhang Feng at the front was shaking wildly and subconsciously slowed down. The car driven by Lao Wang, the driver of the county magistrate in the middle, was also a little falling apart. It felt like the low-level ground had been rubbed a bit. Only the Land Rover that Dong Xuebin, Jiang Fangfang and the others were sitting in was stable and stable. The car only undulated slightly, and there was no hard vibration. The price of the car is there. , and Dong Xuebin’s Land Rover is a pure off-road vehicle, so there is naturally no pressure on this kind of road section.
One minute…
three minutes…
five minutes…
The cars drove farther and farther, and slowly entered the boundaries of neighboring counties. This was not far from Zhenshui County, and it would take another twenty minutes to drive.
Didi didi! Didi didi!
Suddenly, a trumpet sounded.
It seemed to be the horn sounded by Zhang Feng at the front.
After waiting for a while, Dong Xuebin felt that the speed of the car had slowed down. Finally, it stopped slowly. I couldn't help but look up and saw that there seemed to be a car blocking the way, making it difficult to pass.
Didi didi!
Chen Xiaomei also honked!
Jiang Fangfang said: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaomei looked up and said, "There is a car ahead, blocking the road."
After honking the horn for a long time to no avail, the car door opened. Zhang Feng couldn't help but got out of the car with a dark face. Yan Yizhi in the car and Lao Wang in the car behind also came out. Ahead, there was a tractor standing on the originally narrow road. And it was lying across the road, which was like blocking the road. There were several people sitting on the tractor. There were two villagers standing below, about five or six people, some holding shovels and some holding hoes. Several people looked at the three cars in front of them and said nothing. They just smoked and ignored them.
Zhang Feng got out of the car and said, "Hey!"
Those people still didn't speak and looked at him.
Zhang Feng said angrily: "I'm calling you! Move the tractor!"
Those people seemed not to hear, and had no intention of paying any attention to him.
Yan Yizhi was not happy either, "What are you doing? Is there such a blockage in the road?"
One of the middle-aged men glanced at them. He finally walked up, and he seemed to be the leader of the group. "The tractor is broken. There is no other way. You should take a detour."
Yan Yizhi asked: "Are there any bad ones lying on the road?"
Lao Wang also spoke. "This is the only road over here! How to get around?"
In fact, it's not that there is no other way, but if you want to go another way, you not only have to reverse the car, but also have to walk a long way. Forget it if it's just a few of them. County Magistrate Jiang and County Magistrate Dong are still sitting in the car. How to go back? County Magistrate Dong is still injured. They have to go to the hospital as soon as possible. If they walk the bumpy road again, they may not be able to hold it, but County Magistrate Dong may not be able to hold it either.
Lao Wang frowned and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
The middle-aged villager who took the lead spread his hands and said, "The tractor is broken. Didn't I tell you? What can we do? Or you can leave some money and we will find someone to repair it."
Want money
Car repair
It's obviously a toll!
In fact, Yan Yizhi and Zhang Feng had already known this in their minds, and this hearing confirmed their suspicions. In fact, there are many such things in a remote country like theirs, let alone this place, it was Dong Xuebin who was in Yan I also encountered this kind of toll collection in Taixian County, but this situation was just dealt with by the city after the year. Why did it happen again not long after? Or did he leave the tractor in the middle of the road so blatantly
Zhang Feng knew that you should not be soft when dealing with such scoundrels. If they are ruthless, you have to be more ruthless than them. He immediately pulled his face down and said, "Don't you have eyes! Can't you recognize the Zhenshui County Committee's car?"
The middle-aged villager said without thinking: "Zhenshui County? I don't know, I've never been there!"
Zhang Feng looked at him, "Are you looking for trouble? Do you believe I'm calling your County Magistrate Li now?"
The middle-aged villager curled his lips and leaned on the tractor. Several villagers nearby also talked and laughed, not taking them seriously at all.
Chen Xiaomei also got out of the car, "I'll go take a look."
Zhang Feng became angry, so he said OK, took out his cell phone and called County Magistrate Li of their county. He was Secretary Meng's secretary. Naturally, he had dealt with the leaders of neighboring counties many times and knew them all. Zhang Feng thought that County Magistrate Jiang was sitting in the car behind him, and there was no way Magistrate Li would not give him this face. But after calling twice, the other party didn't answer. The same thing happened when I called County Magistrate's Secretary Li again, but the phone didn't work.
Zhang Feng thought they were in a meeting, frowned, and simply looked for a number and called a deputy director of the National Security Bureau whom he had met several times.
Still doesn’t work!
Are they all in a meeting
Or something happened in their county?
Yan Yizhi asked: "Can't get through?"
"Well, no one answered." Zhang Feng looked unhappy.
When Chen Xiaomei heard this, she turned back and opened the car door and said, "County Magistrate Jiang, there are toll collectors in front of us and they won't let us pass. Secretary Zhang called the local county leader but couldn't get through."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fangfang lowered her head, took out her mobile phone, and dialed a number slowly.
Toot toot.
Toot toot.
No one picked up!
Over there, the leading middle-aged villager looked at Zhang Feng, Yan Yizhi and others, "Have you finished the fight? After you finish the fight, just give us the repair money. It's not much, just ten thousand is enough."
Zhang Feng said with a cold face: "Robbery, right?"
Yan Yizhi shouted: "Your tractor is not worth even 10,000 yuan!"
Several villagers became angry and cursed them with local accents.
"What nonsense!"
"Will you pay me or not?"
"Don't even think about going there without paying for the repairs!"
The middle-aged villagers pressed their hands, and those people stopped cursing. They only heard the middle-aged villagers say calmly: "Your last car was expensive, wasn't it? Are you still short of 10,000 yuan? Give us the money quickly, and we will give it to you." I went to get my car repaired, and I don’t have time to waste time with you guys, haha... "
Yan Yizhi said: "You think so well!"
Zhang Feng said: "You dare to intercept the county leader's car?"
The middle-aged villager sneered a few times, "We are either robbing, or we just want money to repair the car. You went over and we repaired the car. It's convenient, isn't it?"
Although Land Rover was at the back, Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang also heard their voices.
Dong Xuebin narrowed his eyes and felt keenly that something was wrong. Dong Xuebin had also worked at the grassroots level for a long time. He knew most of the twists and turns inside. The toll collectors were generally local villagers, mainly based on The main thing is to seek money, and there are a lot of vehicles coming and going. They are all very discerning. They usually let people go if they can't afford to offend them, and they won't cause trouble for themselves just for a little money. They are also very vigilant. But the group of people in front of me didn't seem to be that way. Firstly, they were too showy. Secondly, they heard that they were the cars of the Zhenshui County Committee. They saw that Secretary Zhang might have gone to call their county magistrate, but there was no reaction at all. , Third, and the most critical point, the toll fee is only a few hundred at most. If you want black people, there are also a thousand, but these people ask for ten thousand as soon as they ask. How can ordinary people carry so much cash in their wallets? This ten thousand is obviously impossible, but they still said it, and they seemed to have no room for bargaining. Dong Xuebin always felt that they were looking for trouble.
"County Magistrate Jiang." Dong Xuebin looked at her.
Jiang Fangfang hummed, "That's not quite right, is it?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Why does it seem to be aimed at us?"
"Not sure." Jiang Fangfang's expression was still so calm, "But it's possible."
In front, Zhang Feng and Yan Yizhi were still shouting with the villagers, and they were very angry.
No wonder, anyone who encounters this kind of thing would probably be furious. The tractor blocked the road and asked for 10,000 yuan in tolls. The car he intercepted was the county leader's car!
Isn't this disgusting
They can't give you this money!
If so, where would they put their face? Where does County Magistrate Jiang put his face? A county magistrate, a deputy county magistrate, two finance bureau chiefs, and a secretary to the county party committee secretary. So many leading cadres were charged tolls on the road. Wouldn’t it make people laugh when they tell them?
This road must be unforgiving!
This money must not be given!
Zhang Feng then made another call to the local county leader, but still couldn't get through. Zhang Feng was so angry that his eyes turned cold and he dialed 110 directly.
This time it worked.
"Hey, are you ***?" Zhang Feng said: "I am from the Zhenshui County Committee. There are people blocking the road on Nanshi Road to collect tolls. Find someone to deal with it!"
As soon as the phone was hung up, the villagers' faces turned cold!
"You dare to call the police?"
"Damn it! Looking for death!"
"I'm giving you face!?"
The sound of shovels and hoes was clanging one after another.
Under the command of the sullen middle-aged villager, these people immediately surrounded Zhang Feng and Yan Yizhi. It seemed that another person ran away and shouted something. In just a moment, someone unexpectedly appeared on the path. More than a dozen villagers appeared sparsely. They were all young and strong men. Many of them also had tools in their hands, mostly sticks and shovels. There were a total of twenty people. This time, not only Yan Yizhi, Zhang Feng and Lao Wang, Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang's Land Rover were also surrounded by these villagers!
The faces of everyone in Zhenshui County changed!
Now not only Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang, but Chen Xiaomei and Yan Yizhi also saw that something was wrong!
They had already called the police, but they still dared to ask people to gather around them, and so many people came all at once. This was like they were well prepared!
It's for them! !
