Chapter 2524 Down-to-earth Mayor

"I will take any responsibility. Do I need to call Feng Changjun personally for such a matter?" Qin Feng said coldly.

Qin Feng naturally knew that firing a gun was a very serious matter in the country, and even when police officers were performing their duties, there were almost strict regulations.

But the situation is special now and Qin Feng can't care so much.

But he also knew that although the requirements for using guns were very strict, this was not a big deal for a city public security bureau. There were policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom, and the public security bureau naturally had countermeasures to deal with this matter. So Qin Feng did not be polite with them and forced them to open fire to shock these villagers.

The police were helpless. Who dared to disobey the mayor's order in person? So they arranged for a policeman to carefully fire a few shots into the sky in the open area outside.

The sudden three gunshots frightened the villagers who were in a state of anger and irrationality. Everyone looked at them in horror and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Those are the sounds of gunfire. As ordinary people, who wouldn't feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when hearing the sounds of gunfire?

Just when the villagers were still in shock, a voice came: "Hello, fellow villagers of Liujia Village. My name is Qin Feng, and I am the mayor of Shazhou City."

Everyone looked at Qin Feng, who was standing on a chair in the middle of the aisle divided by the police and shouting through a loudspeaker.

When they heard that this was the mayor, many young people in the audience started to get impulsive again and started shouting loudly.

"I know everyone is very angry and aggrieved, but no matter what, please suppress your emotions and listen to me first. There are too many people here, and everyone will talk one after another. In the end, no one can hear what they say. Everyone's request is to solve the problem, not to come here to quarrel, right? You don't want to stay here forever, right?"

"So please keep quiet for a moment and listen to me, okay?" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

After Qin Feng finished shouting, everyone was more respectful and kept quiet because he was the mayor after all. Everyone's eyes were on this "down-to-earth" mayor who was standing on a chair with a loudspeaker in his hand.

"First of all, I want to make a statement here. You can take out your phones now and record what I am about to say. If I, Qin Feng, cannot fulfill this promise, you can post what I said to you today on the Internet, or take it to the higher authorities to complain about me."

Qin Feng paused here and gave the villagers some time to use their mobile phones to record the video.

All the villagers took out their mobile phones and recorded Qin Feng.

Seeing that the villagers were all holding their cell phones towards him, Qin Feng began to speak slowly, word by word.

"I promise you that all the criminals who beat and killed the villagers of Liujia Village last night will be arrested and brought to justice and severely punished by law. If no one is caught, or if one less person is caught, I, Qin Feng, will resign voluntarily." Qin Feng said loudly while standing on a chair, his voice as loud as a bell.

After Qin Feng said this, leaders such as Zhou Mincheng and Zhou Feiping who were standing beside Qin Feng were shocked. Others didn't know what was going on, but they, the senior leaders, knew it. From the very beginning, they had no hope of catching the murderer.

It is understandable that Qin Feng, as the mayor, wants to calm the matter down and make promises to the people. However, as the mayor, Qin Feng can use ambiguous words to make the people believe on the one hand, and leave a way out for himself on the other hand.

But Qin Feng was like a greenhorn who had just started out and made promises to the people in plain language that even a three-year-old child could understand, and he even made resignation a condition of the promise.

Qin Feng's "novice operation" shocked them.

At the same time, Qin Feng's resounding words shocked all the villagers. They did not expect that the mayor in front of them would say such words to them.

In addition to being shocked, all the villagers suddenly became full of trust in the government. A mayor personally ran up to you and asked you to put your hand to your face to take a photo, and promised that he would resign if you failed to do it.

For a mayor, this is no longer a promise, but the most serious oath.

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, the villagers, who were originally in a restless and angry mood, suddenly calmed down a lot, and the scene was no longer as agitated as before.

"I received the report about Liujia Village in the early hours of this morning. I was completely confused when I received the report. I couldn't understand why such an incredible thing happened. I couldn't understand why there was a group of vicious bandits on Shazhou."

"The Liujia Village incident must be related to the construction of the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue, which requires the demolition of the Liujia Ancestral Temple. I learned about the various reasons in detail after the last incident."

"I heard my subordinates report to me that everyone has always believed that this was done by our government, and that our government deliberately instigated people to burn down ancestral temples and beat and harm ordinary people."

"I don't know who spread this kind of speech, and I don't know what the purpose of these people is to spread this kind of speech that deliberately creates opposition between you and the government. But if you think about it, you will know that this is complete nonsense. How could the government do this?"

"Yes, the government does need to complete the construction of the southern extension of Shazhou Avenue as soon as possible. Why? Because it is related to the development of Nanshan New District, the biggest strategic goal of our Shazhou City. The economic development of our Shazhou has been slow in recent years. The development of Nanshan New District was a strategic arrangement made by our municipal party committee and government a few years ago."

"As long as the Nanshan New District develops, it will once again drive the development of our entire Shazhou economy, which is related to the pockets of every villager. For the villagers of Liujia Village alone, Liujia Village will no longer be a suburb as before, but a village in the new district. You should all be able to imagine how much benefit this will bring to your lives."

"But that's not what I want to talk about today, and I'm not here to preach to you. I want to ask you, what good is it for the government to do something so harmful to the world? What good is it for leaders to make such a decision? Which leader would dare to risk ruining his reputation by doing something so useless?"

“If the government really wants to forcibly demolish the houses, does it really need to be delayed for two or three years?”

"I can clearly tell you here that this matter has nothing to do with the government, and the government is completely unaware of it. In fact, this whole matter was deliberately targeted at Liujia Village in order to create the situation today."

Qin Feng paused for a moment when he spoke this. He couldn't make his words too clear, but he had to let everyone know that this was not done by the government.

Of course, both Sun Yuanwei and Zhou Feiping have said a lot about these explanations, but none of them were as effective as Qin Feng's.

The first reason is that Qin Feng is the mayor. Although it is the same words, the feeling when said by the mayor and the district head is naturally different.

Secondly, when everyone was upset and irritable when listening to Sun Yuanwei and Zhou Feiping, how could they listen? Now everyone was listening to Qin Feng calmly and quietly, so the effect was naturally different.
