Iron Bull Legend

Chapter 842 Luo Cheng's Case

"Have you heard about the murder case?" a woman asked a group of people nearby, pressing the sole of her shoe.

"I heard it. Isn't it the guy who killed more than ten people?" said another woman.

"Look, everyone knows about this. Do you know why that young boy killed someone? Do you remember what happened five years ago? No one knows about that, right?" The woman holding the sole of her shoe pretended to be mysterious and looked around before she whispered carefully.

"Speak louder, we can't hear you." A voice rang out from among several heads crowded together.

"Five years ago, that boy's sister was bullied. It was the family who was killed today who did it. Not only did they bully the sister, they also beat her mother to death. What's more cruel is that they crippled her old father. They spent 100,000 yuan to solve everything..." The woman holding the sole of her shoe finally told the story.

"Oh my god, I spent 100,000 yuan to buy a life, and it crippled the person. Is there any justice or fairness here? Who did I give the 100,000 yuan to?"

"This has to start with the people who handled the case back then. You don't know them, do you? I heard that they were all arrested, and they confessed that they took money from people. That was 100,000 yuan."

"Damn it, they don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously. They should be arrested and shot. If such an injustice had not been caused back then, would their whole family be killed today?" one person led.

"Who said it wasn't? You don't know it, do you?"

"Tell me quickly, what did you hear?"

"Who took the 100,000 yuan back then?" The woman holding the sole of her shoe seemed to be attracting everyone's attention. She smiled complacently and looked mysterious, as if she had seen with her own eyes that person taking the 100,000 yuan.

"Why don't you tell me something? We are so worried. Why are you so nagging? Don't you see how worried everyone else is? Tell me now."

"That man is now a high-ranking official in the province, at least a governor. Do you think there is some story behind this? One hundred thousand yuan." The woman holding the sole of her shoe deliberately mentioned the one hundred thousand yuan again after she finished speaking.

"Are you talking about Yan Heizi, Governor Yan?" a woman said, and quickly covered her mouth with one hand, looked around and covered it with the other hand, fearing that the sound would be heard by others.

"Come on, Governor Yan, would you accept that little money to do something for them? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Besides, the Liu family was able to curry favor with the governor. Are you a fool? You can't even get in the door, so how can you give them money?"

"Yes, he is the governor. That's not right. Didn't you just say that he was a provincial cadre? Why did you say it wasn't Yan Heizi?"

"I'm talking about five years ago. Five years ago, everyone was a provincial cadre. How could you be so stupid?"

"Oh...oh...I see...him?" The woman suddenly realized and understood everything, as if he had foreseen it. "No, this matter has nothing to do with that person?"

"Are you a little bit crazy? Who would do the job if that person took the money? Don't you think about who is causing trouble now? Don't you understand?" The woman who was pressing the sole of her shoe gave him a look that said "you understand".

"Hahaha... Haha, look at me, how could I forget the twists and turns in this?" A group of old ladies laughed, as if they understood the key.

Such scenes were spread in many residential areas and streets of Yangcheng City. As the story spread, it became clearer. The murder that happened in the morning seemed to have been forgotten. It was the 100,000 yuan and those people who took the money. A new voice of unfairness and injustice prevailed.

Spreading such gossip is the specialty of the women on the streets, and the soft hearts of these women and the heroic actions of the revengeful children have infected the whole city, as if it is holding its breath to unleash a big move.

It's more like the sultry weather. It's been so stuffy for a while, and finally there needs to be a gate to release it, otherwise it will explode.

Early in the morning of the next day, many people took to the streets. More and more people gathered. This showed that people had a heavy psychological state. When someone took to the streets with a white cloth banner that read "One hundred thousand yuan for a life, but you take human life lightly. It is shameful for officials to protect each other, give me justice"

The Chinese nature of watching the fun was fully demonstrated. At the beginning, there were dozens of people, then hundreds, thousands, and more than ten thousand people. When the parade arrived at the gate of the city government, tens of thousands of people had already joined, with the same slogans and neat formations.

When Tie Niu stood at the government window, a smile appeared on his face.

Whether Luo Cheng can survive depends on these people's petition. If Tie Niu uses his own ability to do things, he will be criticized. If it is a petition based on public opinion, what is public opinion? It is the will of the majority of the people in the city. Only if the majority of the people support Luo Cheng's case, he can save his life.

Tie Niu did this out of helplessness. According to the law, Luo Cheng would surely die. However, this was his excuse, to avenge his parents and sister, and to avenge injustice.

Now, all the citizens of Yangcheng have taken action. They use their own power to petition for Luo Cheng and put pressure on those who handled the case that year. Although those people have been imprisoned, the man holding the 100,000 yuan is still on the stage.

One hundred thousand yuan is just an excuse. It doesn't matter whether there was the one hundred thousand yuan in the first place. What is important is that the one hundred thousand yuan incident has let the people of Guangzhou know that one day they will also be subject to an unfair judgment and an unfair trial because of the one hundred thousand yuan.

It is even more important to overturn the unjust trial and hold those responsible accountable. No matter who took the 100,000 yuan, the public must be given an explanation now, and this explanation is the public opinion.

Tie Niu went downstairs, followed by a large group of city government staff. Most of these staff were there to watch the fun, all watching behind the mayor Tie Niu. Only a small number of people stood on Tie Niu's side and were his real followers.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mayor Tie Niu. To be more clear, I'm the acting mayor. Before the title of acting is cancelled, although I haven't become the real master of the Yangcheng Municipal Government, I think I can still do things for you all." Tie Niu stood in front of everyone and spoke self-deprecatingly, just trying to attract everyone's attention.

The dark crowd in front saw a young man standing in front of the opposite team. At first, no one knew what he did. However, he introduced himself and spoke in a self-deprecating tone, which immediately won everyone's favor.

"I know why everyone is here. Can you please stop doing this? It would be very serious if someone gets hurt and they would have to spend money on medical treatment." Tie Niu said with a smile, hoping to calm everyone down.

"Mayor Tie, we all know that you are a doctor. My relatives in Beijing said that you are a miracle doctor. If someone is hurt, can you treat him?" A man in the crowd laughed loudly.

"Look at what you said. Why don't you think about getting better? Even if I'm a doctor, I can't treat so many people. Can you send a few representatives so we can sit down and have a good chat?" Tie Niu's tone became gentler.

"Mayor Tie, we are here because we are angry. Why are the lives of ordinary people worthless? The law is used as a tool to make money. Is there still law?" The man who spoke loudly represented the majority of people who came to march.

"You are right. Money cannot be used as law. However, we are currently trying this case. We cannot give everyone a clear explanation right now. Shouldn't you give us some time?" Tie Niu pleaded.

“Mayor Tie, we are not here for you. The people who have been arrested are all small-time Karas. The people who really did something wrong are still at large. We ordinary people are not convinced.”

"We have to do this step by step. Can you believe that our municipal government will give everyone a fair explanation?" Tie Niu still smiled.

"Based on what you did at the crime scene, we admire you from the bottom of our hearts and know that you are a good official. However, now that man is still in power, we are all afraid that your position is too low and you can't solve this matter. He is a high-ranking official in the province."

This person has been biting the person above, and there is a deep meaning behind this. She is also the representative of public opinion. So many people come here to force the government and put pressure on the government to bring that person to justice.

Xiao Yuntian in the compound next door also saw the dark crowd and the long line outside. He also heard the secretary report the truth of the matter.

Therefore, although he did not show up, he knew that if there was no good solution to such mass incidents, uncontrollable changes would definitely occur. In that case, he, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, would definitely be held accountable at the first moment.

So, he first called the Tieniu Municipal Government to inquire, but the person who answered the phone was Wang Ping, who could only tell him according to the actual information he had obtained that Tieniu had already arrived at the scene to deal with the matter, and that the details still required the cooperation of the province.

When Xiao Yuntian heard that the province's cooperation was needed, he immediately understood what Tie Niu meant. This meant that he wanted him to report to the province and ask for people from the province. Now, he was the only one who could do this on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee.

Xiao Yuntian is now in a dilemma, but such mass incidents are no joke, if he fails to handle it well, he will still have to bear the brunt of the consequences.

He had to bite the bullet and report the matter here. Even if he didn't report it, the provincial party committee and government would call to hold him accountable. It would be better to report it first and try to resolve the matter.

After some contact, the higher-ups knew about the matter, and what remained was to report the specific circumstances of some cases to the lower-level departments for resolution.

Long Xin is now aware of what is happening here in the Municipal Bureau, but she did not receive orders from Tie Niu and did not bring anyone to take compulsory measures. She only arranged personnel to maintain order and prevent the situation from escalating.

After she arrested the traitor last night, she conducted an intense interrogation. She was annoyed that she didn't get any useful information. Today, there was such a large-scale mass street demonstration, which was also a headache. These days, cases have been one after another. It has been a very eventful time.

Luo Cheng's case is now the main cause of the parade, so he is now putting all his energy into this matter, and he is almost taking charge of it himself. However, with the efforts of Professor Tie Niu's interrogation experts, Wei Zhongshu's name finally surfaced.

However, Wei Zhongshu is now the vice governor and her superior in terms of position. He is also in charge of the political and legal system and can be considered her direct superior. If she wants to ask her direct superior questions, she needs the orders and exclusive documents from the higher-level provincial party committee and government.

Before he reported to his superiors, people took to the streets to protest. This was like pouring hot oil on the hot pot, which was simply torture.

At this time, the city party secretary Xiao Yuntian called. "Hello, Secretary Xiao."

"Director Long, have you made any progress on the Luocheng case? You have seen that the people are pointing the finger at our municipal government." Although Secretary Xiao Yuntian was anxious, he still asked in a calm tone.
