Chapter 843 -799: The Governor’s Fury
Joke, going to the police station, where does that leave the face of a governor like myself, Moreover, throughout the entire process, Nie Zhenbang maintained considerable control. There was nothing out of line or in violation of the rules. To talk about violent law enforcement, that’s absolutely nonsensical. These people, they have the knack for turning black into white, Nie Zhenbang witnessed that firsthand.
Furthermore, Nie Zhenbang knew very well that if he really went in, given these people’s abilities, they could twist white into black, and black into white. By that time, he would’ve gained nothing but a slew of troubles.
“Not going?” Captain Hu sneered provocatively at his side, “You’d better think this through, you don’t have a choice in this. Resisting violently against the law, you’ve got some nerve. To actually show contempt for national workers, contempt for the national law, you are definitely not a good person.”

These words were exceedingly arrogant. This was a classic case of a dog acting aggressively on its owner’s power, made possible with the presence of the law enforcement officers. Captain Hu was very emboldened.
No sooner had the words left his mouth, than a police officer immediately approached, looking at Nie Zhenbang with a very firm tone and a hint of coercion, he said gravely, “Sir, please come with us.”
There was an unquestionable air in his tone, almost as if on the brink of immediately adopting coercive measures against Nie Zhenbang if there was any disagreement.
At this moment, as the police officers all targeted Nie Zhenbang, what Nie Zhenbang didn’t expect was that suddenly, from within the crowd, a voice burst out, “Officer, we can testify, this boss, he didn’t resist violently at all, nor did he lay a hand on anyone.”
As the voice fell, echoes immediately rose up nearby, “That’s right, he didn’t break the law, what right do you have to arrest him?”
“Exactly, these people are despicable, to lay such a cruel hand on an old lady, are you blind? If anyone should be arrested, it should be these people.”
The crowd was enraged, and at this moment, many onlookers surrounding the incident were infuriated by the despicable behavior of Captain Hu and the others. Among those present, aside from the surrounding vendors, many were people who were eating late-night snacks and treats there, including both locals and tourists from other places.
The vendors might not dare to offend these people, but the customers certainly have no such scruples. This had incited public outrage.
Nie Zhenbang felt somewhat relieved and touched at this moment. The hearts of the people could be employed. In this world, evil would eventually not triumph over good.
If those around had taken an indifferent attitude, adopting an aloof and insensitive posture, then this society, this nation, there would be no hope.
But now, after these people stood up, Nie Zhenbang was incomparably relieved. However, the current scene provoked a strong dissatisfaction among Captain Hu and the police station officers. Usually, common people would be like mice seeing a cat when they saw them. But now, the situation had changed. These troublesome citizens dared to openly confront the government.
Pausing for a moment, one of the younger police officers frowned and glared at the crowd, “Quiet! What’s the commotion about? Do we need you to teach us how to enforce the law? Shut your mouths, trying to stir up trouble, are you? Are you suggesting that you want to gather a crowd to disrupt public order, to oppose the Party and the government?”
This accusation could be made major or minor; these words proved how malicious this officer’s intentions were.
Nie Zhenbang’s brow furrowed, and he said sternly, “Ridiculous, what right do you people have to represent the Party and the government? To see you wearing that uniform, I feel sorrow for our nation and shame for you.”
Upon hearing this remark, a burst of applause suddenly erupted from the surrounding crowd. People invariably have a hero complex, and though ordinary people might not dare to stand up and speak out righteously when facing such situations, it does not prevent them from yearning for the appearance of heroes and harboring such admiration.
Nie Zhenbang’s words fit this standard in everyone’s heart. Instantly, he won enormous reputation and support.
As the words ended, an ear-splitting wave of applause and cheers arose around immediately. These sounds were undeniably irritating to Captain Hu and the officers from the police station. The assembled crowd was growing larger, and denouncing voices began to surface everywhere.
Unexpectedly, one of the officers suddenly pulled a handgun from his body amidst the commotion. With the bang of a gunshot, like a bolt from the blue, the scene fell silent.
Nie Zhenbang’s gaze also became serious at this moment. Is this still a police officer? Even if it was to fire a warning shot into the air, such an action should never have occurred. This is a matter of principle. The saying that a glimpse reveals the whole leopard is exactly what this means.
To casually fire a gun in public indicates how shameless this person’s moral bottom line and professional integrity have sunk.
“You dared to fire a gun!” Nie Zhenbang glared at the young police officer who had shot, “On what grounds do you have the right to fire a gun at this moment? You, such a person, are utterly unworthy of being a people’s police officer. I feel ashamed and dishonored to have a police officer like you in the public security forces of Bashu Province.”
As his words fell, the sound of police sirens suddenly came from the periphery of the crowd. In front, four or five black Audis with their hazard lights flashing drove toward them. Behind those cars followed four police vehicles. At the very end were two Iveco police vans marked with special police emblems. Such a large convoy, upon its appearance, caused the faces of the police within the crowd to show relief, as they looked at Nie Zhenbang, speaking in a stern voice, “Our people are here. I want to see what you can do next. How dare you resist law enforcement.”
The crowd was quickly parted by the rushing police and special police, and at this moment, the motorcade stopped by the side of the road, with the car bearing the license plate Shu A-00001 at the forefront. Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee, Tianfu City Municipal Secretary Tang Bingquan, got out of the car.
At this moment, Tang Bingquan looked extremely solemn and serious. The Governor had encountered trouble on the pedestrian street of Tianfu City, which was beyond Tang Bingquan’s imagination. Who could be so bold?
On the way there, Tang Bingquan had already scolded the leaders of the Shujiang District Committee and District Government. As he got out of the car, Deputy Provincial Governor and Director of the Public Security Department Huang Jin, as well as Standing Committee member and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Hou Wenkui, also got out.
Exchanging glances, they could see a touch of solemnity and concern in each other’s eyes.
At this moment, inside the perimeter, the leading middle-aged police officer had already stepped forward and smilingly said, “Comrade, which unit are you from that has come here for support? Look at this comrade here, who incited innocent masses and caused public agitation. We suspect this person has come here with a purpose.”
The moment these words fell, Hou Wenkui, Tang Bingquan, and Huang Jin had already walked up and, upon hearing this, Hou Wenkui immediately said in a stern voice, “Who are you to say such things?”
Beside him, Huang Jin had noticed some clues. In a heavy tone, he said, “Tear off the guns, epaulets, and badges of these people right away and arrest them. They’ve become lawless. As people’s police officers, have all these years of food been eaten in vain? How dare you be so negligent in duty and collude with others in crime?”
This statement left the officers dumbfounded. Although all of them had the status of local police, as insiders, they were quite familiar with the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Hou Wenkui, and Director Huang Jin. Now that these two high-ranking officials had arrived on the scene, it was clear what was happening.
With feet together, the officers voiced loudly, “Greetings to the leaders.”
Tang Bingquan also stepped forward at this time, his demeanor serious. In a stern voice, he asked, “Which police station do you belong to, and which bureau are these city management officers from?”
Meanwhile, Hou Wenkui and Huang Jin had walked over to Nie Zhenbang’s side, speaking loudly, “Governor, are you alright?”
In this dramatic turn of events, the onlookers were stunned. The middle-aged man before them was the Governor?
Within the crowd, there were some people who paid attention to current events. After taking a closer look, cheers erupted, “Yes, I recognize him now, that’s Governor Nie, Governor Nie, long may you live. Punish these local ruffians and bullies!”
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang stepped forward, crouched down, and helped Mrs. Feng up, speaking with heartfelt sincerity, “Madam, this is our dereliction of duty, our society’s welfare system’s inadequacy, which has caused you to suffer. Here, on behalf of the Bashu Provincial Committee and the Provincial Government, and the Tianfu City Municipal Committee and City Government, I earnestly apologize to you. Madam, rest assured that for your son’s case, I will immediately have Tianfu City consider countermeasures. Your situation should meet the standards for social assistance for low-income and disabled individuals. Rest assured, even after a hundred years, the government will definitely take care of your son to the end. From now on, you can confidently do business here. If anyone tries to collect so-called sanitation fees again, tell me, and I will handle it.”
Saying this, Nie Zhenbang stood up, surveyed the crowd, and in a stern voice, Nie Zhenbang said, “Deputy Governor Huang, it seems that the quality of the provincial public security police still needs improvement. Secretary Tang, Tianfu City’s policies are good, but effective long-term supervision mechanisms are lacking. Such events must be nipped in the bud by Tianfu City in the future, and those who openly collect excessive sanitation fees in designated late-night snack districts as mandated by the government must be seriously investigated.”
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang did not show any favorable expression toward Tang Bingquan and Huang Jin. He spoke directly, without mincing words, clearly stating his position.
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang looked over at Captain Hu and the others, saying in a deep voice, “As for these people, I suggest they be immediately stripped of their duties. The fees collected against regulations must be fully recovered. In the future, such incidents must be strictly prevented from happening again.” (
