Tai Zhengyang once again said the six words "at all costs", which shows his firm determination.

"Yes, Secretary Tai, please rest assured and complete the task resolutely!"

In an instant, Zhang Qing's blood boiled, he puffed out his chest and answered loudly.

Then, Tai Zhengyang gave Liu Hongyi a few more instructions, hung up the phone, and hurriedly called the leaders of Longxiang District and Mingsi County to give orders.

"Secretary Zhang, Ma Yuejin is in our hands now. He is our most important bargaining chip."

Liu Hongyi said to Zhang Qing calmly.

"Please take advantage of this and try to negotiate terms with Minister Ma to delay time!"

Thanks to the directives from the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhang Qing unleashed an unprecedented "battle passion." He personally led the commune cadres and militiamen to block the stairwell of the commune office building, refusing to retreat.

"Laoma, Lao Ma, Ma Erqiang, don't mess around!"

Zhang Qing shouted loudly.

"He really is a cadre from the Provincial Party Committee. Just now, Comrade Tai Zhengyang, the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, called us personally... Lao Ma, you have to consider the consequences."

"joke!"

Minister Ma yelled.

“What consequences do I consider?”

"A few damn outsiders pretended to be provincial Party committee cadres, came to our Napo Commune, shot and injured my son for no reason, and now they want to take my son away. What consequences should I consider?"

"Old Ma, think carefully, you have more than just Ma Yuejin."

"You have two daughters!"

"You still have your big brother. If Director Ma knew you were doing this, he would scold you to death."

Ma Erqiang's elder brother, Ma Daqiang, is the deputy director of a committee in Mingsi County and ranks high.

"You're so desperate for a leap of faith. Have you ever considered the consequences?"

Zhang Qing questioned loudly.

"Old Zhang!"

Ma Erqiang roared loudly.

"I'm telling you, this matter has nothing to do with you, so mind your own business."

"If you still consider me, Ma Erqiang, your friend, then get out of the way. I won't bother you. I'll just go after those outsiders, those scammers pretending to be provincial Party committee officials!"

Ma Erqiang also took the risk and insisted that Liu Hongyi, Wei Yinghong and others were liars.

He absolutely could not admit to being a "provincial party committee cadre." If he did, he would immediately lose his "legal basis" and his "appeal" to the Ma members would be greatly reduced.

Nowadays, the grassroots people may stick together and be xenophobic, but they still have a fear of the leaders above them.

Although there will still be a few people who will continue to follow Ma Erqiang in making trouble, most members will back off.

In mass incidents, the greatest reliance is strength in numbers.

When there are fewer people, the deterrent effect is weaker.

Especially when a lot of people gather together, as long as one person backs down, everyone else will be affected.

Ma Erqiang didn't dare to really let the member named Ma open fire.

Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

"Old Ma!"

Zhang Qing yelled even louder than him.

"I told you, they are not scammers, they are really cadres of the provincial party committee!"

"Comrade Tai Zhengyang, the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, just called me personally and told me this himself. Don't you even trust the Provincial Party Committee? How dare you doubt the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?"

Many members following Ma Erqiang suddenly began to whisper to each other, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Ma Erqiang's expression also changed.

He actually knew very well that Zhang Qing was most likely not lying to him.

Zhang Qing didn't dare to speak carelessly on such a major matter.

The problem is that Ma Erqiang has no way out.

Zhang Qing just said that Ma Erqiang does have three children, and Ma Yuejin is not his only child. The other two are daughters, and Ma Yuejin is the only son.

She hadn't even gotten married yet, and she didn't even leave him a grandson.

For middle-aged and elderly men in border areas with old-fashioned ideas like Ma Erqiang, having no grandchildren means "no descendants."

His two daughters gave birth to ten grandchildren, all of whom were "extinct from the lineage".

"Lao Zhang, for the sake of our comrades, I won't make things difficult for you."
