South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 279 Zhao Lianjun and Men Jiaxiang’s Thoughts

Then the two of them started to beat around the bush with Yuan Mu, talking about this and that, but not talking about the real business. It was just that Yuan Mu didn't have time to talk nonsense with them as he had a lot of things waiting for him.

"Two leaders, I still have a lot of things to do here. How about I report to you two leaders after I have achieved some interim results?"

Yuan Mu's words were very clear. This was an order to leave. Meaning, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, get out of here. I don't have time to beat around the bush with you.

Naturally, the two of them understood what Yuan Mu meant, so they looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly. Secretary Zhao spoke to Yuan Mu, and he put on his signature fake smile.

"Team Leader Yuan, there is indeed such a thing. We would like to ask you about it."

"Secretary Zhao, please go ahead." Yuan Mu nodded.

"You should also understand that this city is so big that it is inevitable that there will be some negligence. I am naturally responsible for this incident, but I have made some contributions to the Porcelain Capital over the years."

"I started working in the Porcelain Capital in 1976, when the earthquake happened. You may not know what the situation was like, but it was a tragic scene."

"I was still the deputy mayor at that time. I led people to work non-stop for days and nights and rescued many people. Mayor Men knew this because he followed me in the rescue."

Yuan Mu listened to Secretary Zhao's story patiently. He didn't interrupt or express any opinions. He just listened quietly. Although he knew what the other party meant, he didn't know why he had to tell him about this. He couldn't control what Secretary Zhao and the other person said.

Finally, after Secretary Zhao talked a lot, he finally got to the point.

"Team Leader Yuan, after we go back this time, can you talk to the higher-ups and ask them to give us a chance to make merit and atone for our sins, considering that even if we have no merits, we have worked hard over the years?" After saying that, Secretary Zhao and Mayor Men looked at him eagerly, which made Yuan Mu speechless.

Yuan Mu sighed. It seemed that these two people were really anxious and started using respectful titles. But there was really nothing he could do about it.

Actually, this is not right. He may be really capable, but he needs to use his father-in-law's connections. But is this possible? This is impossible. These two people have no relationship with him at all. Why should he use his connections to help them?

In Yuan Mu's opinion, as the leaders of a city, they should be held accountable for such a terrible incident that occurred in their jurisdiction.

"Two leaders, I know what you mean. I sympathize with your situation, but didn't you find the wrong person? I am the leader of a supervision team, and I work for the Ministry of Public Security, not the Z Group Department. It seems that I am the wrong person for this matter, right?"

After hearing this, Secretary Zhao and the other man thought Yuan Mu was trying to shirk responsibility, so they quickly spoke up.

"Hey, Team Leader Yuan, we all know what happened. I'll tell you the truth. We are really desperate now. We have tried all our connections in Beijing, but there is no way."

"But you are different. This time the ZY sent 20 supervisory teams, and you are the lowest-ranking one among them. But you are able to be in charge of our side, which shows how much your superiors trust you."

"Team Leader Yuan, as long as you can save us this time, we will have no complaints if you just say so in the future!"

"Yes, Team Leader Yuan, we have no complaints!" Mayor Men quickly echoed Secretary Zhao's words.

In fact, Yuan Mu himself is still wondering why the leader of his team is the lowest among the 20 supervision teams? It is impossible that the government cannot send high-level cadres.

The ZY lacks everything except high-level cadres. This reason is obviously invalid, so he still hasn't figured out why. Fortunately, he has an advantage. Since he can't figure it out for the time being, he won't think about it for now and just do things well.

After hearing what the two said, Yuan Mu felt really helpless. As for what they said, he didn't take it to heart. The youngest of these two people is over 50 years old and is still at the department level. If nothing unexpected happens, his political career will come to an end. There is no point in helping them.

After working in a city for seven or eight years, they were totally unaware of the evil forces under their command. It is conceivable that their abilities are not that good.

"Two leaders, you misunderstood. The reason I was assigned here was entirely because I was a member of the big boss's guard. I also worked in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and my major was criminal investigation. It might be because of this that I was noticed by my superiors."

"I deeply sympathize with your situation, but I really can't do anything about it. I'm sorry!" Yuan Mu directly and politely rejected them.

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, the two men suddenly looked ashen, knowing that they were finished. They guessed that after this matter was over, it would be time to settle accounts with them.

Apart from anything else, if something happens to the big boss on their turf, their political future will be over. The best outcome is to retire directly to the second line. If things go wrong, they may even be dismissed from public office. If that happens, they will not even have the security of retirement.

The two of them didn't argue any further. After saying goodbye to Yuan Mu, they left the office directly.

Yuan Mu didn't take this matter to heart and picked up the file to continue reading.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. The supervision team led by Yuan Mu has been stationed in the Porcelain Capital for more than two months. During these two months, the public security in the Porcelain Capital has changed greatly.

In the past, you could often see hooligans wandering around the streets, but this time there are no more of them. They have all been arrested, or they dare not come out because they will really be caught if they do.

A large number of people came to the supervision group to report, and Yuan Mu accepted all of these reports and arrested people directly according to the list. At this time, it didn't matter whether you were wronged or not. Everything would be decided after the trial.

If you are really wronged, then just release you. If you are not wronged, then I'm sorry, you have to go to prison.

Moreover, this trial was not conducted in a court, but an open trial. Everything was under the supervision of the people, and it was carried out in a square or some open space.

The people were naturally delighted, because they were usually bullied by these gangsters. They didn't dare to speak out before for fear of retaliation. They even didn't dare to speak out a few days before the supervision team came.

Only when they saw that the supervision team was serious about it did they start to report one by one, and the letters of complaint fell on Yuan Mu's desk like snowflakes.

Over the past two months, under the leadership of Yuan Mu, the city's police have arrested thousands of criminals of all kinds, and thousands of people have been sentenced. It can be seen that the public security in the Porcelain Capital has reached a level that must be managed.
