Chapter 31 - Here Comes A Reliable Grand Disciple!

Chapter 31 Here Comes A Reliable Grand Disciple!

Before coming, Qiu Lingruo had told Lan Chao and the others that Kong Xiuyao did not like to expose his identity in front of outsiders and could not call him master in public.

They had not seen each other for seven years, but Lan Chao could not even call him “Master”. His facial features were wrinkled together and he was very sad.

“Director of Discipline Inspection of Quanhe Province, Lan Chao, thank you for your help!” Lan Chao could only use a tactful way to express his gratitude to Kong Xiuyao.

“Superintendent Chang Yongren of Quanhe Province, thanks you for your help!” “Qin Zhang, Dean of Quanhe Province’s People’s High Court, thanks you for your help!”

“Cai Xiaoyong, President of the People’s Procuratorate of Quanhe Province, thanks you for your help!”

These words pressed down on Deputy Director Song and the Black Bull with the weight of a mountain. The two of them knew that their good days were over! Their eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.

Deputy Director Song slapped himself in the face. He blamed himself for being blind and not seeing who the real boss was. He had relied on his background to cause trouble in the village, but now, he didn’t even have a chance to quibble. He sagged in defeat and looked at the soldiers he had brought with him. They moved to either side of him like wooden stakes, their faces as frightened as his own.

The four people who came first introduced themselves and tactfully explained the achievements they had obtained after leaving the mountain. The villagers were dumbfounded. They did not understand why so many people would line up to thank Kong Xiuyao when he had only dealt with a local bully.

Moreover, in the face of so many powerful officials, Kong Xiuyao straightened his back and looked calm. He was not surprised at all and accepted everyone’s gratitude.

“Not bad,” Kong Xiuyao commented. Not only for the results they had achieved, but also for the efficiency of their arrival today.

He looked around at his disciples. He had not seen them for a few years and they had more or less changed. It was not to the extent that he could not recognize them. However, Kong Xiuyao noticed the unfamiliar young man in the last row. He did not introduce himself just by bowing.

Kong Xiuyao helped his disciples stand up and asked Lan Chao, “Who is this?”

“His name is Zhan Bin, the mayor of this city.” Lan Chao pulled the young man over and introduced him.

The young man scratched his head shyly and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Grandmaster!”

Kong Xiuyao was stunned. When did he have another grand-disciple? Qiu Lingruo tugged at his sleeve and whispered into his ear, “31st Senior Brother used to be the mayor of this city, but later on, the higher-ups gave him a new appointment. He really couldn’t stay any longer, so he could only recommend his favorite disciple to be the mayor, Zhan Bin.”

“I see. You’re really young and promising!” Kong Xiuyao nodded.

He sized up Zhan Bin and realized that even though this young man looked young, he was well-trained and respected his elders. It seemed that 31st had spent a lot of effort on him.

When Zhan Bin saw Kong Xiuyao take the initiative to talk to him, he recalled his master’s praise for Kong Xiuyao. In the past, when his master encountered a problem, he would always mutter, “I really want to go to Yongmen Mountain to see my master and listen to his opinion. Sigh…”

At that time, he was curious about his master’s master. Today, he realized that this person was actually younger than him. He immediately knew that this person was not an ordinary person and could not be blasphemed, but he also wanted some pointers.

He smiled and asked, “Grandmaster… No, Mr. Kong, I’m here today to greet you on behalf of Master. Secondly, I heard that there are many problems in Pingxu Village. I hope to hear your opinion.”

His humble appearance puzzled the villagers. The mayor was really polite to the people nowadays. He would bow and listen when investigating the situation!

Looking at Kong Xiuyao, facing his grand-disciple whom he had just met, he was naturally happy to explain, “Pingxu Village’s security needs to be resolved.”

Even though Zhan Bin had only been the mayor for less than two years and was slightly young, he had been influenced by his master and had far more experience in politics than his peers. He naturally understood what Kong Xiuyao meant.

He said to Superintendent Chang Yongren beside him, “Superintendent Chang, sorry to trouble you.”

“Understood.”

Chang Yongren turned his head to look at the two people lying weakly on the ground, then glanced at the police officers brought by Deputy Superintendent Song on both sides. He said coldly, “Capture these two scumbags and bring them back! And the few of you, you will also be investigated when you go back! You will also be held accountable for this culture in your organisation!”

Like an activated robot, the officers immediately accepted the program Chang Yongren had entered and swarmed forward again. They picked up the two men one by one and headed for the police car outside the door.

The Black Bull had been kicked by Kong Xiuyao and was already in so much pain that it had no strength left. Facing Deputy Song’s fist, it could not even cry out in pain and could only suffer silently.

Deputy Director Song’s words reminded Chang Yongren. He reported to Kong Xiuyao, “Mr. Kong, don’t worry. No one involved in this matter can escape. I’ll go back and arrange an investigation immediately!”

“Go.” Kong Xiuyao nodded. His first requirement for his disciple was to be swift and decisive, and to dawdle!

After dealing with Deputy Mayor Song and the Black Bull, Kong Xiuyao continued, “When I came back, I saw that the villages around Pingxu Village were developing, but this place was developing slowly. Mayor Zhan, why do you think so?”

One question and one answer was Kong Xiuyao’s best teaching method.

Zhan Bin was indeed a proud disciple of the 31st. He immediately understood what Kong Xiuyao meant.

If a row of villages did not develop well, it might be due to objective factors such as geography and environment. If a village did not develop well, especially the kind that was at the bottom, it was most likely due to problems with the leadership team.

“I understand. I’ll immediately change the Village Chief of Pingxu Village and look for young and promising people so that some people won’t die for nothing!”

Clunk

The Village Chief had arrived at some point. He fell in front of Kong Xiuyao’s house and hit his head on the wooden door. His eyes rolled back and he fainted. The villagers immediately erupted into a loud cheer!

“I’ve long disliked the old Village Chief. Other than his bureaucratic tone, he’s just trying to smooth things over. He should have stepped down long ago!”

“We won’t have to wait until we choose a new Village Chief! Long live Mayor Zhan!”

“We finally don’t have to suffer the anger of the old Village Chief. Xiuyao, you know so many high-ranking officials. You’re the most suitable person to be our Village Chief!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Xiuyao will definitely be able to lead our village to greater heights!”

The villagers of Pingxu Village had not been so happy in a long time. They thanked the Head and gave Kong Xiuyao a thumbs up. People ran around to spread the news, but no one cared about the life and death of the old Village Chief. They found him an eyesore lying in front of the door, so they dragged him to the ground and waited for him to wake up before walking back.

In the end, Kong Xiuyao explained that before dealing with everything, he would tear down the illegal construction of Shen Feishang’s house. Lan Chao promised that he would make Black Bull Song pay a sum of money first, then collect evidence and transfer Old Song’s house to Shen Feishang’s name. After all, this was the reward he deserved for taking care of the old man.

Coupled with Wonda’s demolition benefit, Shen Feishang went from a homeless person to the richest person in the village!

He was still reeling from the events that had reversed again and again.
