District 9

Meng Xi's judgment of what might happen in the distant mountains and Taoli was accurate.

A large number of police officers from the General Police Department encountered resistance from many local people after entering these two places. Even some cadres from the local police stations and superintendents privately instructed the police officers not to forcibly control the development of local affairs. But it's a grinding job.

Why do these people do this? Because they are all children of the family, or children of the gentry, helping the police from Zhongdu is equivalent to ordering the arrest of their own family members.

At this moment, the local forces are making their final "resistance", because they have no way out, and if they don't resist, they will definitely be punished. Therefore, if the people can be gathered together again to form a certain scale, the upper levels may not dare to move. What's more, the people who came to arrest people locally were police officers, and some people understood that this was a test by the higher-ups to test the public's reaction.

However, the people at the top of the big family factions have already foreseen the outcome, and they are suppressing the situation from getting out of control. It's just that the small family below who was making trouble with them felt unsure. This group of people think that if your family has a large number of people and a lot of influence, if you get beaten up in the end, it might just go away, but they can't do that. If they don't have the public to protect them, they will be doomed.

In Yuanshan Town.

"Get out, why did you come in to arrest people?!"

"You try it, the bullshit caught us all!"

"go out!"

"...!"

At the south gate of Yuanshan Life Town, there were about two hundred people shouting and having physical conflicts with the police.

"Kang!"

Some people fired warning shots, but the effect was not ideal. The more they did, the more the troublemakers felt that they did not dare to shoot.

There were pushing and physical contact between the two parties, and the scene became even more chaotic. Not only were the police officers' cars unable to get in, they were also set on fire by many vapor bottles.

On the other side, the situation in Taoli Life Town was similar to that here. The police were blocked and unable to enter the town to arrest the leading person on the list.

The two sides were in a stalemate until early in the morning. The acting director of the Police General Administration called Meng Xi: "We can't get in here...!"

"I've arrived in Taoli. Please ask the people from the Police Headquarters to withdraw and wait for my call."

"good."

After that, both parties ended the call.

…

Outside Taoli Life Town, Meng Xi got off the helicopter, walked into He Dachuan's temporary brigade headquarters, and said directly: "Send troops in and solve the problem at the entrance of the town."

He Dachuan did not hesitate and issued orders directly to his subordinate troops.

About ten minutes later.

The two battalions rushed into the towns of Taoli and Yuanshan respectively, and armored vehicles, tanks, and armed off-road vehicles made their debut.

Due to the previous street cleanup control, He Dachuan deliberately kept the action plan secret and only conducted mission arrangements with a few officers around him in advance. Therefore, Tao Li and Yuanshan had no idea that the troops would arrive.

When groups of soldiers and war weapons entered the arena, the crowd that was roaring and shouting fell silent instantly.

This is the most painful night in Sichuan Mansion in the new era.

This is a hardship that must be experienced in the long journey of development and progress.

This kind of history full of suffering is like the sun and moon that keep alternating in the sky, constantly appearing and reincarnating. People can know the time when the sun and the moon change, and they can also predict the coming of this labor pain, but they can't avoid it.

In human history, due to greed, fighting for power and other things, the price has been enough, but it still cannot stop this reincarnation from happening.

That night, gunfire rang out for more than half an hour.

That night, blood soaked the streets, blue bricks and stone platforms...

It is said that the place was sealed off for three days, and many people who came to the scene could smell a pungent smell of blood.

These people who are taking the lead in making trouble may really be pioneers who cry out for system reform, but most of them are people who want to achieve their own goals. To say that death is not a pity is too cruel, and to say that human nature is inherently evil is full of sadness.

Let's think about the good side. These people may have contributed to Sichuan's prosperity and stability today.

…

The gunfire stopped.

Meng Xi entered Taoli City, surrounded by He Dachuan and others, and went straight to the Ruan family.

The Ruan family was in a very dangerous situation at the moment. All the core children of the family were under control, and many of them were taken away directly after the police officers entered the city again.

In the quaintly decorated hall, Meng Xi, who had put on his military uniform again, turned to look at Mr. Ruan who was sitting on the main seat: "You can have ideas, but you can't do it with the people."

Mr. Ruan looked at Meng Xi with a livid face. After a long silence, he shouted, "Are we wrong in our thinking?!"

"That's right, but the way you express your dissatisfaction is wrong." Meng Xi looked at him with his hands behind his back, pointed at him and said, "If your Ruan family hadn't done meritorious deeds, you wouldn't have had a chance to speak today."

Mr. Ruan looked at him with a deep look; "You can make the people hate the family with your methods, Director Meng!"

"Mr. Ruan, I give you two choices." Meng Xi ignored the compliment and said concisely: "First, the family must hand over its local influence and rights that do not belong to you. You must Support the newly promoted non-partisan cadres to do their job well. Secondly, I would rather let the Sichuan government suffer for another five years. From today on, the Sichuan government will no longer have family influence."

Mr. Ruan's mouth twitched and he clenched his fists: "How do you hand over power?"

"Each family has a limit on the number of people who can participate in politics. The government office can't have more than ten people; the military department can have no more than five people." Meng Xi had obviously thought of a countermeasure: "This kind of thing will not be written in the regulations, but you You have to be aware of it.”

Mr. Ruan was silent upon hearing this.

The hall was quiet for a while, and Fu Zhen immediately cursed: "You didn't say a word there, are you shitting?!"

Mr. Ruan stood up slowly: "Okay!"

After hearing the answer, Meng Xi turned around and walked out, saying, "The threshold of your house is too high. It's difficult for people to enter. Let's cut it down."

After saying that, the group turned and left.

Since then, the family power within the Sichuan government has been in decline, and the political participation positions of the government affairs office and the military administration office have been completely restricted.

Meng Xi used the fastest and most concise method to make the internal conflicts of the system that might have escalated infinitely calm down in an instant.

When the people's resistance to the family was at its greatest, he decisively cut off a bloody sword. If not, public opinion continues to ferment and the sword is pointed at the Songjiang Clan, which will stoke the fire. It is not impossible for the Songjiang Incident to happen again within the Sichuan government.

Defense turned into offense. Sichuan government was greatly affected by this incident, but it also took advantage of the situation to achieve healthy reforms. The influence of the family line has been infinitely diluted, and the Songjiang line, which is at its peak, has also learned a certain lesson. They also understand that they occupy too many resources, which is not a good thing for the Sichuan government. Even if this kind of resource grabbing is done in good faith or unintentionally.

…

After the internal problems in the Sichuan government were revealed, Meng Xi began to cause trouble for the Zhou clique in the seventh district.

The next day.

Meng Xi proposed to Qin Yu that he order the combat units directly under the Sichuan Army Headquarters to encircle Jiujiang. At the same time, he contacted Lin Nianlei, as well as the official media in the eighth and ninth districts, and took the captured middle-aged man named Xu to start a press conference tour.

At the meeting, a middle-aged man surnamed Xu claimed that he was an action team officer from the Zhou clique’s military intelligence department. He portrayed himself as a tragic character and elaborated on how the Zhou clique’s military intelligence officers threatened his family’s life and used poison. He injected drugs to control him and forced him to become a traitor... and caused riots and mass incidents in many places in Sichuan.

For a time, the people in Sichuan Mansion, District 8, and District 9 were excited and began to angrily criticize Zhou Clan for their despicable methods. The official media in Zhou's department did not dare to report such a thing at all and kept suppressing it.

Three days later.

A military intelligence officer reported to Li Bokang: "In the bureau, a large number of Sichuan people appeared outside Jiujiang City. They were protesting and cursing, claiming that the methods of our military intelligence officers were too despicable and deliberately caused riots in Sichuan. It caused a large number of civilian casualties..."

Li Bokang touched his nose and swore a rare curse word: "Damn it, he turned defense into offense?!"
