Hearing this news, Wei Decheng was also taken aback. In fact, it is common for some violations to occur in the process of demolition, but he did not expect the situation to be so serious that it actually alarmed the city leaders.

Although the Piero family's investment in Sioux City has received the attention and strong support of governments at all levels, it is only a commercial activity after all. If this really causes serious dissatisfaction among the demolition households, or even causes a mass incident, Wei Decheng, as the current specific manager, must be responsible.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Wei Decheng's back, and he said to Jiang Ping again and again: "Xiao Jiang, I really want to thank you for your reminder this time." If this continues...... The consequences are unimaginable. No, I'll have to talk to the Piero family right away to find out what the hell is going on. ”

Jiang Ping also knew that the reason why this happened was not to blame Wei Decheng. After all, he had just taken over the stall, and he hadn't noticed the resettlement of the demolition households. If Wei Decheng had been given a little more time, I believe he would have noticed the problem.

So seeing Wei Decheng say this, Jiang Ping also smiled modestly: "Uncle Wei, you are too polite, I also happened to be a friend who happened to encounter this incident, so I came to find out, a coincidence, it was a complete coincidence." ”

Although Jiang Ping said it lightly, Wei Decheng did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly went to the representatives of the Piero family to discuss the matter. Jiang Ping took the opportunity to say goodbye and left, and went straight to the outskirts of the city to invest in the development plot.

Jiang Ping knew in his heart that the current matter had been known to the city, the Piero family, and Wei Decheng, who was specifically in charge, and it was only a matter of time before it was resolved. Still, he wanted to figure out why this was the case.

After all, Jiang Ping also has the title of special advisor to the Piero family. The annual salary is not much, though. But there are hundreds of thousands of euros at all. He also has to be worthy of this income. What's more, Jiang Ping and Nicholas have a really good relationship, and the heir of the Piero family has also helped him a lot. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Jiang Ping cannot turn a blind eye to this matter.

And Jiang Ping came to the development plot, of course, to investigate the truth of the matter. It has been several months since the development agreement between Nicholas and Sioux City was signed. Many residents in this area have moved out, and some houses have been demolished, making this already bustling place even more desolate.

However, Jiang Ping also noticed that there are still many residents who have not moved out. What surprised him a little was that. Almost every house that is still inhabited is not very "complete". Some houses have broken windows, and some even have large holes in their doors. He even saw paint splashed on the doors of several houses, and the word "kill" was written on the wall next to it.

Jiang Ping also noticed that the area has been cut off from electricity and water, and some residents are using homemade cars to pull water from elsewhere. There is no light in the windows of any house, and the occasional light is flickering, and at first glance it is the light of a candle.

The sudden appearance of such a stranger as Jiang Ping also made some residents very vigilant. Some of them stood at the door, some behind the window, silently looking at Jiang Ping who walked in front of their house, and did not hide the vigilance in their eyes. Jiang Ping could even clearly feel that these people harbored deep hostility towards him.

"Tsk...... It seems that the situation is worse than I thought. "Jiang Ping just came here for a while. Such a conclusion was reached.

But since he came to investigate the situation, Jiang Ping didn't want to be perfunctory. I still plan to ask the local residents about the situation. However, the attitude of the residents towards strangers made Jiang Ping's plan somewhat difficult. They are very wary of strangers, and it may be difficult to ask for something.

Just when Jiang Ping didn't know how to start the investigation, he suddenly saw an old man struggling to pull a small car slowly forward, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately thought of a way.

So Jiang Ping hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, I'll help you!" ”

The old man was a little nervous when he saw a strange man coming up. However, after listening to Jiang Ping's words, he was a little overwhelmed, and he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know whether to let him help.

Jiang Ping would not give the other party a chance to refuse him, so he took the initiative to take the rope from the old man's hand and helped him drag the cart together.

This old man is obviously also a resident of the neighborhood, and in addition to the two buckets of water on the cart, there are also some firewood and other things, and the amount is really not light. But for Jiang Ping, this weight is nothing. He easily pulled the cart, and then smiled and said to the old man who had not yet come to his senses: "Old man, you have to show me the way, otherwise how will I know where to go?" ”

It was only at this time that the old man reacted, knowing that this young man was really here to help him, and hurriedly smiled gratefully: "Thank you, young man, let's go this way." ”

Jiang Ping easily pulled the car and walked side by side with the old man. At present, Jiang Ping had already made a good first impression on the old man, and he quickly understood the basic situation of the old man with his conversation skills.

The old man's surname is Zhang, and as Jiang Ping judged, he is also a resident of this neighborhood. Old man Zhang's children all live in the urban area of Sushi, and he and his wife originally lived in their hometown. However, according to Old Man Zhang, the area has been "not peaceful" recently. So he sent his wife to his children's house for a while, while he stayed to watch the family's house.

Just like what Jiang Ping observed before, this large residential area has been cut off from water and electricity, and even a change of liquefied gas has to go to a distant gas exchange station. So every day, Old Man Zhang had to go to the market a few kilometers away to load two buckets of water, and along the way he had to pick up some firewood or something for cooking. In this way, the amount of liquefied gas used can be reduced, and the number of visits to the ventilation station can be reduced.

However, there is a lot of firewood that Old Man Zhang picked up today, so the trolley is also very heavy, and it is naturally very difficult to drag it. Thanks to Jiang Ping's timely appearance, otherwise he would definitely be tired today.

Because of this, Old Man Zhang has a good impression of Jiang Ping, a young man, and there are not many enthusiastic people like this young man who are so helpful.

With Jiang Ping's help, Old Man Zhang arrived home soon. Similar to the other houses in this area, Old Man Zhang's residence is a small two-story building. Although the small building looks a little old, the area is not small, and Jiang Ping estimates that the two floors together are at least more than 200 square meters.

There is also a yard of dozens of square meters in front of the small building, and a pomegranate tree is planted in the corner of the yard. If you don't look at the big word "kill" written in red paint on the wall of the courtyard, the environment is actually quite good.

Jiang Ping had the heart to establish a relationship with Old Man Zhang, and took the initiative to help him move two buckets of water and firewood into the house. Old man Zhang naturally expressed his gratitude one after another, and his impression of this young man was better.

"Come on, young man, sit down and rest." When Jiang Ping was done, Old Man Zhang hurriedly poured him a glass of water and said, "Thank you so much for your hard work." ”

"You're welcome." Jiang Ping smiled faintly at Old Man Zhang, and then pretended to be curious and asked, "But why do you want to go out to fetch water, is there no water at home?" ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he let out a long sigh and said, "It's broken, the water and electricity are cut off, it's been a long time!" ”

Jiang Ping pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

"Why else, force us to move out!" Old man Zhang said indignantly: "In order to force us to move out, those bastards have done all kinds of immoral things. Water and power outages are just pediatrics, and there are even more excessive things! ”

The more the old man Zhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he said angrily to Jiang Ping: "Those bastards come to make trouble every day, either smashing the window glass or scribbling on the wall. There are several families who just went out to buy vegetables, and when they came back, they found that their homes had been bulldozed by forklifts, and everything in the house was buried, and it was useless to dig it out! ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Zhang glanced at Jiang Ping with some concern, and then reminded him seriously: "Xiao Jiang, it's not too early now, don't stay around." If you get met by those bastards, they might beat you up. I've had several of my neighbors who were so scared of the bastards that they signed an agreement to move out. ”

After listening to Old Man Zhang's words, Jiang Ping knew that the situation here was worse than he expected, and couldn't help frowning: "Uncle Zhang, who are those people, and no one cares about doing this?" ”

"Those are all people from the demolition company, and they are doing this to drive us out!" Old man Zhang said angrily: "Tube? Who cares about them? We don't know how many times we've called the police, but each time the police have waited half an hour to arrive, and by the time they arrived, those bastards had long since disappeared. ”

Old man Zhang's words made Jiang Ping understand that the so-called demolition company must have a background in the local area, otherwise it would not be so arrogant. In fact, this can be seen from Zhang Haohan's experience, if it were not for the acquiescence and connivance of the local government, how could the demolition company dare to drive a forklift to wound people in broad daylight and then bulldoze his vegetable base?

What Jiang Ping needs to figure out now is what level of background the demolition company has reached. Whether it is limited to the local town government, or whether it is related to the district or even the city.

Of course, these questions cannot be answered here by Old Man Zhang. So Jiang Ping didn't dwell on this issue, but turned to ask Old Man Zhang: "I see that many people haven't moved out, why don't people want to leave, but prefer to stay and fight against the demolition company?" ”

However, Jiang Ping didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, Old Man Zhang became even more angry, and slapped the table heavily and said, "It's all because those guys are too black-hearted!" (To be continued.) )
