Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

However, at this moment, a roar suddenly rang out from the crowd: "CNMD, come and arrest me if you dare! You bastard official!"

Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a burly figure, holding a worn-out shovel, rushing towards Zheng Zerui with great momentum.

In an instant, the shovel hit Zheng Zerui like a storm.

In a flash, the police officer next to him was quick-witted and quickly raised his riot shield to block the attack.

There was a loud "clang" sound and sparks flew everywhere.

Despite the shield's protection, the huge impact force still caused Zheng Zerui to stagger, lose his balance, and fall heavily to the ground.

For a moment, dust was flying, and Zheng Zerui was in a mess, covered in mud and dust.

But he didn't hesitate at all and quickly got up from the ground. At this moment, he was full of anger, his hair was messy, and his face was full of anger and determination.

He pointed a trembling finger at the group of rioters in front of him and shouted angrily, "Come here! Arrest all these lawless guys! No leniency!"

Hundreds of well-trained and well-equipped special police officers instantly raised their heavy and sturdy shields in their hands, marched in neat and firm steps, and quickly surrounded the dense crowd of people.

However, how could a special police brigade of just over a hundred people control such a large and emotional crowd?

At the beginning, the special police tried to surround the people to stabilize the situation.

But before long, this siege was broken by the surging crowd, and small conflicts began to emerge and intensified like a prairie fire.

The angry people waved various farm tools in their hands and engaged in fierce confrontation with the special police holding shields.

For a moment, shouts, curses, and sounds of fighting filled the air. The once indestructible police shields were cracked by the shovels wielded by the civilians, and some were even smashed to pieces.

At the same time, people on both sides were injured to varying degrees, their clothes stained with blood.

Seeing the chaotic scene before them, several quick-witted policemen acted decisively and rushed to the side of County Magistrate Zheng Zerui and Public Security Bureau Chief Wang Ziming, tightly protecting them in the middle and retreating step by step with difficulty.

In the end, they successfully escorted the two back to the relatively safe county government compound.

"County magistrate, the current situation is too tricky and completely beyond our control! I have just issued an order for the public security police officers from all townships to rush to the county government compound to gather. Do you think we need to request support from the higher-level municipal bureau..." Public Security Bureau Chief Wang Ziming said breathlessly.

Hearing this, Zheng Zerui's face turned blue with rage. His eyes widened as he roared, "Alright, alright, call the city bureau immediately and ask for support. Have them send the armed police! These lawless people actually dared to gather together to cause trouble and openly assault public officials. They must all be arrested and severely punished!"

At this moment, Zheng Zerui had already been overwhelmed by the fierce conflict just now, and was completely unaware of the seriousness and complexity of the problems reflected behind this collective protest of the people.

Wang Ziming anxiously pulled his phone from his pocket, quickly punched in a series of numbers, and the call was quickly connected. He said anxiously, "Director Li, I need to report an extremely urgent situation to you!"

Li Mingyu's calm and serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tell me, what's the hurry?"

Wang Ziming took a deep breath and spoke quickly, "This is what happened, Director Li. Those workers at Gangcheng County Haoyuan Mining, instigated by the company, actually gathered hundreds of people and came to our county government to cause trouble! It started out as a petition, but now it's escalated into a brawl! Just now, our County Magistrate Zheng was injured by one of the workers! Even many comrades in our special police brigade were injured!"

Wang Ziming paused briefly before adding, "What's worse is that more and more workers are arriving, and the situation is about to get out of control! County Magistrate Zheng asked me to contact you immediately to request support from the Municipal Bureau. He hopes to use armed force against these troublemakers to quell the unrest as quickly as possible, so please ask the Municipal Bureau to quickly send reinforcements to save Gangcheng County!"

After listening to Wang Ziming's narration, Li Mingyu frowned and asked, "Why did the workers at Haoyuan Mining cause such a scene?"

Wang Ziming quickly replied, "The story is this: Haoyuan Mining has been secretly opening a number of illegal mines in order to expand production. Previously, our Public Security Bureau went to enforce the law and arrested several of the ringleaders. As a result, they gathered together to hold this mass petition, hoping to force the county government to release the arrested rioters!"

Li Mingyu, on the other end of the phone, heard this and knitted his brows together, forming a deep, 川-shaped wrinkle. His face darkened instantly, and his lips pursed tightly, revealing his inner displeasure and worry.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke slowly, his tone serious and solemn: "This is simply too rampant! Lawless! This cannot go on! Your county public security bureau must go all out to maintain order on the scene, be sure to remain calm, and try to avoid direct conflict with the troublemakers. Remember, stabilizing the situation is the top priority! I will report the situation to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government immediately. Once I get the approval of the leaders, I will immediately dispatch police forces to support!" After saying this, Li Mingyu hung up the phone without hesitation, and then hurried towards the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

After meeting Sun Yiguo, Li Mingyu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and reported the whole story to him in detail. Sun Yiguo listened quietly, his expression becoming more and more serious.

After Li Mingyu finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, then decisively issued an order: "Immediately dispatch police forces to Gangcheng County for support. Those causing trouble must be resolutely cracked down on and no one should show any leniency or tolerance! We must not allow such illegal and disorderly behavior to succeed!"

However, at this moment, Li Mingyu seemed a little hesitant.

He looked at Sun Yiguo cautiously and asked softly, "Mayor, the scale of this conflict is indeed quite large. Do you think...is it necessary to report this to the secretary as well?"

Although Li Mingyu knew that there were some conflicts and disagreements between the mayor and the secretary, in the face of such a major event, he felt that he should still listen to the secretary's opinion.

If the conflict escalates further, it is very likely that you will be the one to bear the responsibility in the end.

For such a big thing, if there is no clear instruction from the top leader, people will always feel uneasy!
