Chapter 958: All done, arrest those who should be arrested, sentence those who should be sentenced
Zhang Jinde begged Chen Yang to let him go, but he didn't expect that his eldest nephew would outwit him and expose his crimes.
"Look, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but your eldest nephew doesn't want to let you go. You can play with anyone else but your niece-in-law. Even I can't help but want to slap you twice when I hear that." Chen Yang said with a sneer, deliberately bringing up something that was not relevant.
Zhang Jinde lowered his head in shame and said, "I have been smart all my life but foolish for a moment. It's too late to regret. It's too late to regret. Please give me a way out and spare my life. I will turn over a new leaf and become a new man." Clap!
After saying this, he slapped himself hard a few times, and then continued:
"Little Doctor Chen, Big Boss Chen, as long as you are willing to let me go, I, Zhang Jinpeng, can even be a dog by your side. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west. I will bite whoever you tell me to bite."
"Although my reputation has been ruined, I, Zhang Jinde, still have some prestige in Hedong Village. I haven't been the village chief for so many years in vain. If you protect me, it will be of great benefit to you. On the contrary, if you are unwilling to let me go, I will not let you go even if I go to jail."
"I'm not trying to scare you. As long as I give the order, many people in Hedong Village will follow my lead. Some people will even be willing to die for me, thus hindering the construction of your resort and delaying your project indefinitely."
……
Seeing that simply bowing down and giving in might not work, Zhang Jinde added a few more threatening words at the end. The so-called carrot and stick. What he meant was that even if he went to jail, he could remotely control the people of Hedong Village to sabotage and obstruct the construction of Qinghe Resort. In serious cases, it might even cause bloodshed.
As soon as he said this, Chen Yang laughed, squatted in front of him, and said to him with a smile: "Zhang Jinde, Zhang Jinde, you are about to die and you don't even know it. You take yourself too seriously and think you still have bargaining chips to threaten me. If I let you go and make excuses for you, I'm afraid I will be struck by lightning."
"So, if you want me to let you go, it's totally impossible, unless the sun rises from the west."
"Not only will I get you, I will kill you! I will collect all the evidence of your crimes and try to get you sentenced to life imprisonment."
"Also, you want to use the villagers of Hedong Village to threaten me and obstruct the construction of my Qinghe Resort? Go ahead and dream about your grand dream. The villagers of Hedong Village are only afraid of the black hat on your head. As long as you take off the black hat of the village chief, you are nothing, you are just an ordinary citizen. What's more, not only will you take off the black hat on your head, but you will also go to jail. What can you use to command people?"
Chen Yang said loudly and sarcastically, clearly showing his attitude, fighting Zhang Jinde to the end, and beating him to death. At this point, Chen Yang looked around at the villagers of Hedong Village present, and said loudly with a serious face:
"All the villagers of Hedong Village, no matter what ill will you have against me for the mistakes you just made, whether you want to kill me or beat me up, I, Chen Yang, will forgive you for what happened and pretend nothing happened."
"From now on, if you want to find a job near home, Qinghe Resort welcomes you very much. You can work as a worker on the construction site. Those with skills can do technical work, and those without skills can move bricks and do some hard work. We welcome not only men, but also women. As long as you can endure hardships and work hard, your salary will not be reduced by a penny."
"And I can guarantee that your salary will not be lower than that of people doing the same job in the city. In other words, you can earn the same salary as in the city right at home. I can even buy five social insurances and one housing fund for you, so that you can have a pension when you are old and medical care when you are sick."
"Even when my resort is completed and operating normally, you can still find a job there, as a waiter, plumber, gardener, driver, etc. You will never have to leave your hometown and can work at your doorstep for the rest of your life."
"Just imagine, if my Qinghe Resort is doing well, your Hedong Village will definitely benefit as well. In the future, I may even include your Hedong Village in the scope of Qinghe Resort. I will let every household in your village live in a small Western-style building or a big villa, and realize the goal of getting rich through demolition."
"With so many bachelors in your village, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife? Are you still worried that no woman will be willing to marry into your Hedong Village?"
"Okay! If you trust me, you can stand on my side. I will register you and you can come to the construction site to work at any time. If you don't trust me, I'm sorry, but you will miss this opportunity and you will be blacklisted by default. If you want to find a job here again in the future, you will not be accepted."
……
As soon as Chen Yang said this, all the villagers of Hedong Village were moved. They were just ordinary people, following Zhang Tianpeng and Zhang Jinde, all they wanted was a job, a salary, and the ability to settle down and start a family, nothing more.
Now Zhang Tianpeng and Zhang Jinde are like grasshoppers in autumn. They won't be able to jump for much longer. They will be sentenced to at least ten or eight years in prison. There will be no benefit in following them until the end.
By the time they are released from prison, the opportunity will be gone.
No one can predict what the society will be like ten years from now, but it is certain that even if Zhang Tianpeng is released from prison, he will no longer be the top boss in the underworld.
Therefore, anyone who is not stupid knows how to make a choice!
"Any of you who stands with the man named Chen is betraying me, Zhang Jinde. And betraying me, Zhang Jinde, is betraying Hedong Village. You will always be the sinners of Hedong Village!" Zhang Jinde roared loudly, threatening the villagers not to take sides.
He is a village chief, but at this moment his behavior is like that of a gangster boss.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Although his eldest nephew Zhang Tianpeng is known as the number one in Hedong Village, he often has to obey him. If he doesn't listen to him, he won't get so many projects.
Perhaps it was because he thought of himself as the big brother that Zhang Jinde extended his evil claws to his niece-in-law.
"Based on the evidence they have, they can't sentence me to more than a few years. I'm afraid it will only be two or three years. When I get out, I'll still be a good man. Then I'll be your village chief and lead all of you to become rich. I promise that every household in your village will live in a big villa with a garden, and every household will drive a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. What Qinghe Village has, we in Hedong Village will definitely have. And ours will be even better."
"If you follow him, it's all over. Once a slave, always a slave. Not only will you be in trouble, but our entire Hedong Village will be finished."
"Just now this kid also said that in the future, it is possible that Qinghe Village will annex our Hedong Village. This is simply absurd! How could our big Hedong Village be annexed by the small Qinghe Village? If there is any annexation, it should be our Hedong Village annexing Qinghe Village."
"This guy is sweet-mouthed but has ulterior motives. He sees our Hedong Village as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. If you fall into his trap, there is only one way out, and that is death. Only by fighting can our Hedong Village have hope." "So, I implore you, don't go along with this kid named Chen, but keep fighting. You are incompatible with Chen and Qinghe Village. Keep fighting until I am released from prison. Then I will definitely give you a brand new, powerful and prosperous Hedong Village!"
……
Zhang Jinde spoke with great emotion, eloquently, trying to persuade the villagers not to side with Chen Yang, but to wait for him to be released from prison. At this moment, Zhang Jinde chose to fight Chen Yang to the end, even if it meant going to jail.
Even when he was in prison, he still directed the villagers to fight.
Struggle, struggle, endless struggle, constantly causing trouble for Chen Yang.
This guy has a mean heart and just can't stand seeing others do better than him.
After hearing what he said, the villagers of Hedong Village, who had been ready to take action, hesitated again.
Because they don’t want to be the sinners of Hedong Village!
"An old pervert who can stretch out his claws to his niece's wife said that he would lead you to become rich and let every family live in a big villa. Do you believe it? This old pervert has been the village chief of your Hedong Village for more than ten years, right? If I remember correctly, it may even be twenty years. In such a long time, how many families in your village live in big villas? How many families in your village drive cars?"
Chen Yang looked at the villagers of Hedong Village present and asked with a sneer.
After hearing what he said, the villagers of Hedong Village present looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Indeed, Zhang Jinde has been the village chief of Hedong Village for nearly twenty years. However, during these twenty years, the village chief's own villa has become bigger and bigger, and his family's villas have become more and more, but only a few other villagers can live in villas.
Even if there are, they are all relying on their own efforts and working hard outside, and it has nothing to do with the village chief.
So, if Zhang Jinde hadn't boasted just now, it would have been fine. But now, his boasting was blown out of proportion, and everyone hated him even more. The evil he had done in Hedong Village alone was too numerous to count.
"Doctor Chen, I have been tying steel bars in the city since I was 18 years old, and it has been more than 20 years now. My daily wage is about 300 yuan. Can your construction site give me such a high price? If you can, I will follow you." A middle-aged man with dark skin, calloused hands, and looking very honest and simple, asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang stared at the middle-aged man's rough hands, believed him, and said, "I'll give you 350 yuan a day, overtime pay is extra, and I'll also buy you five insurances and one fund."
"Really?" The middle-aged brother was stunned.
"Do you think I'm kidding? Go register with Miss Zhou and start working immediately."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen, you are such a good person."
The middle-aged man was so happy that his eyes were moist.
He was also unemployed at home because he couldn't find a job tying steel bars for 300 yuan a day in the city. Chen Yang actually offered him a high price of 350 yuan, even overtime pay was extra, and he also bought five insurances and one housing fund. For him, it was like a pie in the sky.
He is willing to do this kind of work until he dies.
They worked on projects with Zhang Tianpeng, but they never received overtime pay. They were paid what they were paid per day, and they were not given any insurance or housing fund. Sometimes they were even fined.
When they saw that the middle-aged man had found a good job with a daily salary of 350 yuan here at Chen Yang's, the other villagers in Hedong Village also became eager to try.
"Dr. Chen, I'm a scaffolder. When I was in the city, I made 300 yuan a day. Now I want 350 yuan a day. Isn't that too much?"
"Dr. Chen, I'm a plumber. I used to make 350 yuan a day in the city, but now I'm making 400 yuan a day. Isn't that reasonable?"
"Dr. Chen, I'm a welder. I make 400 yuan a day working in the city. Can you give me a 100 yuan increase? Give me 500 yuan a day."
……
For these skilled workers, Chen Yang asked Miss Zhou Yaxuan to register them and offer them a higher salary as appropriate.
This extra salary was considered as a subsidy from Chen Yang to them. "Damn, you guys are rebelling, rebelling..."
Even if Zhang Jinde's eyes widened, it was useless. More and more Hedong villagers chose to stand with Chen Yang, because the benefits were visible and real. Unlike Zhang Jinde, who only played empty tricks.
No matter how nice the words are, they are not as real as a piece of money.
Even some young men with personality, idlers and bachelors who were on good terms with Zhang Tianpeng were pulled by their parents to stand behind Chen Yang to show their attitude.
"Me, me, and I..."
In the end, even the bachelor, Da Huang, who had just tried to attack Zhou Yaxuan's chest and was beaten like a dog by Chen Yang, crawled towards Chen Yang like a dog, wanting to get a job in Chen Yang's resort.
"Zhang Jinde, see? This is what the people want. Go to prison and reflect on your mistakes. Your Hedong Village will definitely develop better without you. When you come out, you will definitely see a new, strong and prosperous Hedong Village." Chen Yang said to Zhang Jinde in a contemptuous tone.
puff!
Zhang Jinde spat out a mouthful of blood. He was defeated by Chen Yang, completely defeated.
Today's incident was a setup from the very beginning.
The one who came up with this plan was Zhang Jinde.
By using fraud, coercion and inducement, he got his nephew's engineering team to participate in the Qinghe Resort project, and by selling sand and stones, he made a huge profit.
He never dreamed that he would end up shooting himself in the foot, and that both he and his eldest nephew would be ruined. Their huge family would also be implicated, and at least the money he had embezzled would definitely have to be returned.
So he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Okay, Doctor Chen, since there are witnesses and evidence, I will take the person away. I will report to you if there is any follow-up development." Director Lu Dafa said to Chen Yang.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Lu." Chen Yang thanked Lu Dafa. "What's there to thank me for? We are all serving the people. It's our duty." Lu Dafa said modestly, with a smile on his face.
In fact, he was very nervous and just hoped that Chen Yang would calm down and stop causing trouble for him.
