Chapter 2523 The public is furious

"We suspect that someone is deliberately creating conflicts and chaos. We are sure that there is something wrong with the villager who attacked Mayor Yuan Wei. We also suspect that there is something wrong with the police officers who rushed in later. They deliberately attacked the villagers and intensified the conflicts," Zhou Feiping replied.

"Is this your guess?"

"It's just speculation by our comrades at the district public security bureau. The situation was too chaotic at the time and there was no way to confirm it. But as you, the mayor, said, if it was not organized by humans, it would be too strange." Zhou Feiping also hinted.

"It has already happened. Whether it was done on purpose is not the point. The point now is how to calm the anger of these villagers."

"Mayor, I really tried my best. Mayor Yuan Wei spent a lot of effort to get the job done, and he relied on the prestige that Mayor Yuan Wei had accumulated over the years. But this happened when things were almost settled."

"Mayor, to be honest, I really can't do anything. Even if you want to remove me from my position, I can't do anything about it." Zhou Feiping sighed.

"When did I say I was going to remove you from your position? If I was going to remove you, it wouldn't be now. It's impossible for you to quit at this critical moment. This happened in your Fuchang District, and you, Zhou Feiping, must take care of it to the end."

"Go in!" Qin Feng sighed and finally walked inside.

Zhou Feiping hurriedly followed, and then all the staff followed Qin Feng and surrounded him. At this time, a team of police officers who had been waiting here also came and surrounded Qin Feng again.

Before Qin Feng even entered, there were already two layers of protection outside, which was enough to show how critical the situation inside was.

Qin Feng entered the Fuchang District Government compound surrounded by a large group of people and protected by several layers of security nets.

As soon as we entered, we saw two factions in front of the government office building, with a tense situation. On one side were the villagers with red faces and thick necks, and on the other side were the fully armed policemen and the Fuchang District leaders behind them.

The villagers of Liujia Village were very emotional. They pointed at the Fuchang District leaders behind the police and cursed them. Some impulsive young people directly attacked the police who formed a human wall in front of them, and some even attacked the police. Fortunately, the police standing in the front were holding huge explosion-proof shields, so the other side could not directly attack the police.

Looking at the angry expressions of the villagers at the scene, one can imagine how chaotic the situation here was before.

The leader of Fuchang District behind the police was holding a loudspeaker and persuading them loudly until his throat was hoarse, but it was obvious that their persuasion had little effect.

Because the situation at the scene was very tense, Qin Feng was unable to get to the front of the confrontation.

Seeing Qin Feng coming in, all the leaders of Fuchang District came over and greeted Qin Feng respectfully.

Qin Feng didn't bother to pay attention to the leaders of Fuchang District and directly took the loudspeaker from one of them.

"Let them make way for me to come in." Qin Feng said.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Zhou Feiping, who was hosting the event, was so frightened that his face turned purple.

"Mayor, you must not go in. They are now mad with anger. Even Mayor Yuan Wei was beaten. It's too dangerous..." Zhou Feiping persuaded.

"Should I listen to you or to me? Zhou Feiping, if you can settle this matter now, then I will listen to you. If you can't solve it, then don't talk so much nonsense. Just do what I say." Qin Feng said unhappily.

"Mayor, you really can't go in. If you have anything to say, you can use the loudspeaker here. It's too dangerous to go in..." Zhou Feiping said.

"Dangerous? The biggest danger is that we cannot calm their anger and persuade them to go back. Do you know what the consequences will be if we continue to confront each other like this? I really hope that I can go in and get beaten up, so that things will be easier to handle." Qin Feng said again.

Zhou Feiping was stunned. Qin Feng was not talking nonsense. If Qin Feng, the mayor, went in and was beaten, then the initiative would be on the government's side in terms of emotion, reason and law. It would not be like it is now, where the government is very passive.

"But……"

"There's no but. If the problem is not resolved, I as the mayor and you as the district chief will definitely resign. And if I go in and get beaten, at most I'll just have an extra responsibility. Too many lice won't itch. What do you have to be afraid of?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Mayor, that's not what I meant..."

"Stop talking nonsense and let them get out of the way." Qin Feng interrupted Zhou Feiping.

Zhou Feiping hesitated again and again, but finally, under the pressure of Qin Feng's authority, he ordered the policeman in front to make way.

Qin Feng walked directly through the path cleared by the police and prepared to walk up to the villagers.

Zhou Mincheng, director of the municipal government office, rushed to Qin Feng and was ready to "take the knife" for Qin Feng, but was pushed away by Qin Feng. Then he came to the angry villagers with a loudspeaker through the "path" wide enough for one person left by the police.

Qin Feng had just walked up to the villagers and picked up the loudspeaker to speak when a young man rushed over from the opposite side and punched him. Fortunately, the policeman holding a shield next to him was quick-witted and used the shield to protect Qin Feng and blocked the punch for him.

It was very noisy in front of him, and even if Qin Feng held a loudspeaker, it had no effect. Moreover, the villagers of Liujia Village were like crazy, and no one noticed that Qin Feng, the mayor, had come.

Qin Feng frowned and thought about what to do behind the police's shield. He must change the situation in front of him, otherwise there would be no way to solve the problem.

Qin Feng turned around and walked out.

As soon as Qin Feng stepped out, Zhou Feiping and a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau who was in charge of the work at the scene quickly surrounded him and asked if Qin Feng was injured.

"The situation is too chaotic now. There is no way for me to communicate with them face to face. So, you let all the police officers hold shields and force their way through the villagers, dividing the crowd into two halves..." Qin Feng gave the order.

Soon after Qin Feng gave the order, all the police officers at the scene began to move. Those fully armed police officers holding shields began to take action, forcibly pushing the villagers away with their shields, and then dividing the villagers into two halves, leaving a two or three meter wide aisle in the middle.

This action caused further dissatisfaction among the villagers, and they attacked the police officers at the scene even more vigorously. Fortunately, there were large shields to protect them, so the police officers could not be hurt.

Qin Feng walked into the corridor with a loudspeaker, and Zhou Feiping and Zhou Mincheng hurriedly followed. The Municipal Public Security Bureau also specially arranged two fully armed special police officers to stand beside Qin Feng to protect him at all times, even though there were already police officers protecting him in front and behind the corridor.

Qin Feng walked to the middle of the aisle, looked around, picked up the megaphone and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet..."

Qin Feng shouted many times, but the villagers were too noisy and no one heard what Qin Feng was saying. The sound of the loudspeaker was also drowned out by the noisy crowd.

"If anyone has a gun, please fire a few shots into the air. We must scare them first and make them quiet down and listen to me. This is not a solution." Qin Feng said to the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Ah? Mayor, this... this won't do. You absolutely cannot shoot. We have very strict requirements for shooting. This responsibility is too great..."
