It is not an exaggeration to describe the current scene of the East Lake Dam as a sea of ??people.
The road to the dam has been severely blocked. The traffic police shouted loudly and were sweating profusely, but they still couldn't change the status quo.
The East Lake Dam itself is a traffic artery, connecting the Central Province and Guangdong Province. At this time, both ends of the road have been traffic control. Crowds flooded onto the dam like a tide.
Deng Bin opened the way ahead, and Kong Ye clung to Xu Yishan's left and right sides, escorting him straight to the dam.
The leaders of Chenzhou City followed closely behind Xu Yishan, and the appearance of a group of people attracted the attention of the masses.
The leader came, and the masses took the initiative to give way. The noise resounded through the valley of the dam.
Secretary Lu called and told Xu Yishan that he had contacted the local garrison. The troops are already on the way, and Xu Yishan is required to strictly control the development of the situation before the arrival of the troops.
On the dam, the central part and the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangdong occupy one end each, leaving a distance of about five meters in the middle. And in this open space, there was a corpse wrapped in ice.
Two children about seven or eight years old with white cloths on their heads knelt in front of the corpse, weeping mournfully.
The surrounding noise was like thunder, but on the dam, it was eerily quiet. Both sides are glaring at each other, and there is a tendency to explode.
The arrival of Xu Yishan caused commotion in the crowd. He took a look at both sides, and he had a bottom line in his heart.
The people blocking the dam in the central province are all fully armed, wearing steel helmets and holding rubber batons.
The other party looked disorganized at first glance. Apparently they were organized spontaneously by folks. Facing the high-pressure situation on the central side, they showed no signs of timidity.
Xu Yishan was about to go forward, but Nie Bo grabbed him and said, "Secretary Xu, don't go over."
Xu Yishan gave him a hard look, shook off his hand and shouted: "What are you doing?"
His rage obviously frightened Nie Bo. He said with a sneer: "The situation is very critical, you can't take risks."
Xu Yishan pointed to the crowd on the opposite side and said: "Who are they? Are they our enemies? No, they are all our brothers and sisters. If we are timid in front of our brothers and sisters, then we have ghosts in our hearts."
"Bring the microphone over here!" Xu Yishan ordered Nie Bo.
Someone quickly handed over the microphone. Xu Yishan took it and walked forward firmly.
Just in case, Nie Bo prevented others from following Xu Yishan. But Deng Bin and Kong Ye followed closely behind him.
The scene became quiet. The East Lake Dam was so noisy that it fell into a deathly silence. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at Xu Yishan. People didn't know who this tall and straight young man who suddenly appeared was, and everyone's palms began to sweat.
The confrontation started yesterday afternoon, and more than ten hours have passed, and both sides seem a little tired.
To Xu Yishan's astonishment, there was no sign of government officials in Guangdong Province when such a serious incident occurred in East Lake.
After walking a few steps, he stood still and slowly raised the loudspeaker in his hand.
"Fathers and brothers in Guangdong Province, my name is Xu Yishan, and I am a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Provincial Party Committee. I was instructed by the Provincial Party Committee to come to Donghu to deal with the problem. Please send representatives to sit down and talk to solve the problem."
?He yelled twice in a row, but Guangyue Province remained unmoved.
Kong Ye whispered: "Secretary Xu, they seem to have no leader. No one agreed."
Xu Yishan knew in his heart that the more silent the other party was, the greater the danger. Their accumulated anger has not yet found an outlet. Once the scene becomes chaotic and uncontrollable, both parties will suffer casualties again.
He said to Kong Ye: "You all stand still."
He walked straight to the ice-wrapped corpse, stood with his feet together, and bowed deeply three times. Then he bent down to help two crying children lying on the ground.
They all look very small. The boy is about five or six years old, and the girl seems to be seven or eight years old.
Their faces are covered with dust, and tears have carved their faces into ravines. Feeling pain in his heart, he squatted down, held one in each hand, and asked kindly, "Son, is that your father lying here?"
The two children nodded in fear, and the girl choked and said, "Uncle, my father was beaten to death by them, and we have no father. Our family is about to break up."
Xu Yishan's heart was like a knife, he comforted them and asked: "Where's your mother?"
The child replied: "My mother didn't want us a long time ago. We don't have a mother. Only a father. Now that my father is gone, no one wants us."
Xu Yishan talked on the dam with his arms around the two children, attracting all eyes. Despite the deathly silence around them, they still couldn't hear what they were saying.
? Bowing in condolences to the victims has left the Central Province stunned. No one knew exactly what Xu Yishan was going to do. He prevented others from coming forward and took the risk by himself. This kind of fearless spirit had shocked all the people present.
The situation in front of him is obviously a powder keg. Any spark will cause an explosion. From the moment they confronted each other, neither side thought about taking a step back.
At this most sensitive moment, anyone who stands up will become the target of public criticism.
Xu Yishan stood up slowly. He turned his back to Guangdong Province and the crowd in Central Province and shouted, "All personnel in Central Province, evacuate from the dam immediately."
The crowd in the Central Province rioted, but soon, they receded like a tide, leaving one end of the dam empty.
?Guangdong Province seems to have come to its senses. Their ranks began to advance.
Deng Bin nervously blocked Xu Yishan behind him, and shouted at the approaching Guangdong team: "What are you doing? Stop for me."
The people in Guangdong Province would not listen to him, they quickly surrounded Xu Yishan and the three of them in the crowd.
Shouts sounded.
"Central Province get out of East Lake."
"Murder pays for life, punish the murderer severely."
"We must give us an explanation. If we don't give an explanation, we will never give up."
Shouts came and went, and the crowd was turbulent.
Kong Ye's face turned pale, and Deng Bin was so nervous that sweat dripped down his face.
Xu Yishan, on the other hand, said calmly: "Please be quiet. I need you to send some representatives now."
"We have no representation. We are all representation."
Xu Yishan's fearless demeanor in the face of danger obviously frightened the other party's people. Although they shouted slogans excitedly, they never showed any excesses.
At this moment, a person stood out from the other party's crowd.
"I am the village chief, you can tell me whatever you want."
Kong Ye shook his head and said, "This is Comrade Xu Yishan, member of the Standing Committee of our Central Provincial Party Committee. Is the highest position here is the village chief?"
The village chief said with a half-smile, "Don't tell me, I'm the biggest here."
The meaning of Kong Ye's words is already very clear. How can a village chief like a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Central Province be qualified to have a dialogue?
Xu Yishan said bluntly: "Okay. Since the village chief has the right to speak, I will tell you my thoughts now. Similarly, if you have any demands, you can also raise them."
The village head froze for a moment, he didn't expect such a big cadre to be willing to talk to him.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "We have three requests. If you agree, you can say anything."
Xu Yishan nodded solemnly and said, "Say it."
"First, severely punish the murderer. Second, we must be compensated. Third" He hesitated for a moment, and summoned up his courage to say, "Your central province will evacuate the East Lake and return the East Lake Reservoir to us."
