Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

"It's ridiculous. This guy forcibly demolished a school and still wants the county magistrate's support and backing for him. He's dreaming!"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's感慨 (expression/reflection), Zhang Guangyao, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh dear, nephew, haha, I see, you're the one who summoned County Magistrate Du, aren't you? You've been on good terms with him for a long time, and you're even his savior..."

Zhang Guangyao knew everything about this matter, after all, when Wang Jianguo wanted to deal with Du Chunlei, he himself led his men to the county town.

At the time, they foiled Wang Jianguo's conspiracy, for which County Chief Du was extremely grateful.

"What? Mr. Zhang knows the county magistrate, who was also his savior?"

The villagers were shocked when they heard the news.

"Wow, I never expected that this boss, Zhang Dong, would even know the county magistrate."

"Oh dear, knowing the county magistrate isn't enough, this person seems to have even helped the county magistrate before, this, this..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Laizi and his wife, who were standing nearby, trembled with fright.

Zhang Laizi initially thought Zhang Dong was just a villager from Woniu Village who was blinded by greed and came to their village to mine. That's why Zhang Laizi decided to deal with Zhang Dong.

But now, according to Zhang Dong's uncle, the other party was the county magistrate's savior, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I changed my attitude and voted for Zhang Dong.

This young man in front of me is terrifying. Not only is he powerful, but he also knows the county magistrate.

Just how many secrets does this young man named Zhang Dong still hold?

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Laizi and his wife looked at Zhang Dong with surprise and disbelief.

After a long while, the couple finally came to their senses from the shock.

Li Guirong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear, "Old man, it's fortunate that you didn't listen to me back then and didn't kick Zhang Dong out of our house. You even voted for him without hesitation. You did the right thing."

Zhang Laizi nodded with lingering fear: "That's right, I feel that voting for Zhang Dong was the most correct thing I've ever done in my life, without a doubt."

“Since we voted for Zhang Dong, our quality of life has improved significantly. We receive a substantial monthly wage from the farm.”

As they said this, the couple, without prior arrangement, turned their respectful gazes toward Zhang Dong, who was not far away...

But then, a thunderous roar came: "Is this how you enforce the law? No wonder the masses have such a big problem with you and confronted you on the spot. If you ask me, they should beat your people's brains out of their heads."

Upon hearing the county magistrate's outburst of anger and these words, Wang Chengkun and his team members trembled in fear.

Just now, not only Wang Chengkun was holding the hot water bottle, but his team members also had the same idea.

The county magistrate has arrived. Now that he's in charge, he'll definitely suppress these villagers.

Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. These villagers from Black Tiger Village actually violently resisted the law just now. Now that the county magistrate has come here, can he still tolerate them?

To their utter surprise, County Chief Du flew into a rage, and his fury was directed at them. At that moment, Wang Chengkun and his men were completely dumbfounded, like dogs that had been struck dumb.

Wang Chengkun even stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

“County magistrate, they should have submitted an application before using the land.”

Upon hearing Wang Chengkun's words, Du Chunlei snorted coldly again in anger.

"You also know that villagers should apply for land use first. Have you publicized this information effectively? Are all the villagers aware of this?"

“If the villagers are unaware of the situation and you still enforce the law, then your enforcement is seriously inadequate.”

"Besides, I'm also puzzled."

“Before, the villagers didn’t have money to build a school, and you didn’t help or comfort them. Now that a kind person has funded the construction of a school for the villagers of Heihu Village, so that children in the neighborhood can study nearby, you are heartless and want to demolish the newly built school.”

“I don’t think it’s the villagers who violently resisted the law, but rather you who violently enforced the law, didn’t care about the interests of the people, and didn’t care about the people at all.”

Upon hearing County Chief Du's furious words, Wang Chengkun's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground in shock.

At that moment, the villagers of Black Tiger Village couldn't help but shout excitedly when they heard the county magistrate say those words.

"Wow, finally we have a good county head who cares about the interests of us ordinary people."

"That's right. Before, it was all about officials protecting each other. I never dreamed that the county head would protect the interests of us ordinary people."

Li Qingshan, who was standing to the side, also looked excited.

After hearing that the county head and the education bureau officials had arrived, I saw the captain of the law enforcement team run straight towards the county head.

Li Qingshan's heart jumped into his throat.

He certainly knew what the other party was thinking; the wicked person was the one to accuse first.

If the county magistrate also agrees to let the enforcement team demolish the school they just built, then things will be in serious trouble.

After all, a higher-ranking official can have absolute power. The other person is the county head; if he makes such an announcement on the spot, this lowly village cadre is powerless to do anything about it.

Therefore, Li Qingshan was covered in cold sweat just now.

He knew all too well what this school meant to their village.

Upon hearing these words from the county magistrate who had just arrived, Li Qingshan jumped up excitedly on the spot.

"Haha, this is truly a good county head for the people, a good cadre for the people—"

"Hey, Village Chief Li, why are you so excited?"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Li Qingshan's expression turned strange.

"No way, Brother Zhang Dong, I don't have any worries about you at all?"

Li Qingshan wasn't with Zhang Dong earlier and didn't know that Zhang Dong already knew the county magistrate.

Seeing the old village chief's bewildered expression, Zhang Guangyao, standing to the side, said boastfully, "Haha, village chief, you probably don't know this, but my nephew already knows the county magistrate."

“When the county head was developing the mine in Woniu Village, he even contacted my nephew directly. In fact, my nephew was the county head’s savior.”

"What, there is such a thing?"

Li Qingshan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He also felt that Zhang Dong in front of him was like a huge mystery.

With such connections, to put it bluntly, if he had approached the county magistrate back then, the mine would have belonged to Zhangdong with just a word from the magistrate.

But they didn't do that; they didn't use their connections to pressure people.

Thinking about all this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but feel even more moved and admiring...

"County... County Magistrate." Wang Chengkun, his lips twitching, struggled to his feet from the ground.

He was covered in dust and dirt, and didn't know what to say.
