The tweeter rang out, and the group was dispersed, so naturally no one obeyed it, and the reply was a shower of gravel.

Tears were fired, four ammunition fell into the crowd, the choking smoke made people unable to open their eyes, the nose was flowing, the riot team pushed forward, and the stones hit the shield and slammed, but they could not stop the pace of the special police...

When the riots in Xinpi County reached the ears of Yuan Kegong, the secretary of the provincial party committee, Yuan Kegong, who had always been gentle, could not help but swear. After venting, he immediately ordered the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Yao Guangsha and the director of the Provincial Public Security Department Duan Huibo to rush to the front line to quell the riots. His request was only two o'clock. First, before the sun came out tomorrow, the situation must be calmed down; second, he was determined not to use forceful suppression measures.

After arranging these, Yuan Kegong immediately asked the secretary to notify all the Standing Committee members to hold a meeting overnight to discuss the aftermath.

After the meeting began, Yuan Kegong first asked Zhou Huisheng, deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department to attend the meeting, to inform the story of the mass incident in Xinpi County.

Zhou Huisheng opened his notebook and said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, a vicious mass incident occurred in Xinpi County, Pingchuan City. Cement factory workers organized a demonstration due to resettlement issues. During this period, students and other people joined. The leading cadres of Xinpi County handled the situation improperly, causing conflicts between the police and the demonstrators. Then the Pingchuan City Patrol Special Police Detachment rushed to Xinpi County to provide support. The comrades in the on-site commander mistakenly issued an order to clear the field by force, causing the conflict to escalate. According to the information currently available, the incident has killed four people and a special police officer, and more than 200 others were injured. The Xinpi County Party Committee Building was burned and dozens of cars were smashed..."

The faces of the Standing Committee members changed. They knew what these numbers mean. Such major events could shock the whole country and would definitely alarm the central government. Everyone knows that the central government has vetoed mass incidents.

As soon as Zhou Huisheng finished his report, Governor Chen Peng immediately spoke, "The most urgent task is to control public opinion first. We must not cause great panic among the masses, otherwise it will be unimaginable."

Minister of Publicity Bai Yuqing hurriedly followed up and said: "We have started to take action. All TV, radio, newspapers and magazines in the province are not allowed to publish corresponding articles; the Internet has begun to require major websites to delete posts and set sensitive words for filtering, but some websites are not in Jiangnan, and the progress is a bit slow..."

Chen Peng interrupted Bai Yuqing and said, "Don't talk about difficulties at this time, I just want the result. Before dawn, I ask all media, including online media, to be clean,"

Bai Yuqing looked at Yuan Kegong and wanted to say something, but in the end he still refused to say anything.

Seeing Bai Yuqing looking at him, Yuan Kegong said, "I agree with Governor Chen's opinion. The public opinion must be controlled as soon as possible to prevent the situation from deteriorating further."

The first and second leaders all spoke, and Bai Yuqing could not say that she had any difficulties, so she had to get up and walk outside the door to arrange work for her subordinates, suppressing each other at one level, and resolutely implementing the instructions of her superiors.

The Standing Committee members then discussed some imminent matters, such as mobilizing medical personnel to Xinpi County to treat the wounded, the compensation for the dead and the police.

The efficiency of emergency meetings is reflected again. Every time a unified opinion is formed in the meeting, it will be arranged immediately and will not delay for a moment.

After working hard for more than half an hour, after the things that should be arranged were basically arranged, Yuan Kegong said: "Comrades, everyone knows the central government's attitude towards maintaining stability, but now some places are in a 'vicious circle' that is becoming more and more unstable'. The Xinpi County incident has evolved from a small problem of resettlement of workers to a major mass incident with four deaths and hundreds of injuries, which is enough to show how serious the situation facing maintaining stability is.

Just now, the comrades from the Provincial Public Security Department briefly introduced the case. The workers only made two demands at the beginning, one was to have a meal and the other was to have a job. This requirement made very reasonable, but the comrades below us could not even meet such demands. It was really hateful.

The masses are the cutest, the most pitiful, but the masses are also the most powerful. When the masses get angry, you will know what strength is. There is no small matter in the interests of the masses. You must predict and resolve conflicts in the masses in advance, and prevent them from the source and small matters.

Some places ignore the problems that the people have long-term reported, and suppress them if they can, and then drag them. It is best to drag them to the next term. If the ministers are not honest and cannot govern the people, then the customs will be broken..."

Yuan Kegong is not a talkative person. He rarely talks a long story in the Standing Committee, but today he talks endlessly for more than half an hour, which is enough to see how angry he is. Of course, his speech also sent a signal to all the Standing Committee members. He was quite dissatisfied with the actions of the leading cadres in Pingchuan City and Xinpi County in handling this mass incident, which is equivalent to pointing out a direction for everyone when discussing accountability.

Of course, the final result of the incident has not yet come out, and it is a bit early to talk about accountability, but Yuan Kegong must seize this opportunity. He knew that Pingchuan City is one of the direct descendants of Governor Chen Peng. Although such a big thing happened, Chen Peng may not be willing to cut off his arm, and most of them still have to protect a few people. What he had to do was to try to make the officialdom of Pingchuan City new. As the saying goes, new people and new atmosphere, and Pingchuan City's political situation should be replaced with fresh air.

Yao Guangsha, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and Duan Huibo, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who rushed to the scene, did not disappoint Yuan Kegong's trust. After they arrived at the scene, they first came to the front line to communicate with the masses, expressing their attitude of "If you have something to say, I will take responsibility". At the first time, they made the crowd calm down from the fanatic state.

Then they took decisive measures to separate participants and onlookers, avoiding the confusion of people and a larger scope of order chaos.

When the horizon began to turn white, the riot that lasted for more than ten hours finally subsided.

In this incident, more than 300 people directly participated in the smashing and burning, and more than 20,000 people were on the scene. More than 100 offices were burned in Xinpi County Party Committee, County Government, County Public Security Bureau, County Civil Affairs Bureau, County Finance Bureau and other offices were burned, and more than 50 police cars and other vehicles were burned. The incident caused a total of six deaths, one of which was a policeman, and more than 300 people were injured to varying degrees, causing direct economic losses of more than 20 million yuan.

On the afternoon of the day after the incident subsided, relevant departments at the provincial, municipal and county levels jointly held a press conference.

The press conference said that the incident was "organized and premeditated". The cause of the incident was that cement factory workers were dissatisfied with the resettlement issue. Some people organized to march on the street with banners. Onlookers followed and gathered to the county government to petition. During the reception of relevant officials of the county government, some people incited people who did not know the truth to attack the county party committee and county government buildings. Subsequently, a few criminals took the opportunity to smash, loot and burn.

Subsequently, major media in Jiangnan Province began to publish and broadcast news such as "Xinpi people angrily condemn criminals" on a large scale. Although these practices aroused the disgust and suspicion of many people, they also quickly led public opinion in a controllable direction.

Of course, the people in Xinpi County will not be blinded so easily as parties or witnesses, so they still need to be comforted. Early the next morning after the press conference, Provincial Party Secretary Yuan Kegong personally rushed to Xinpi County and walked into the homes of the people to listen to the people's ideas.

After carefully listening to everyone's opinions, Yuan Kegong ordered people to hold a symposium on local people's congress representatives, CPPCC members and masses. The symposium was not arranged indoors, but was directly held in the largest square in Xinpi County. Because the place was large enough, many uninvited people rushed to the scene to listen.

After the meeting began, Yuan Kegong first bowed three times to the crowd, and then pointed out incisively, "This incident has deep-seated factors. Some social conflicts accumulated over a long period of time have not been paid attention to and properly resolved. The relationship between cadres and the masses is tense, and the public security environment is not good. Some places and some departments still have many problems in their ideological consciousness, cadres' style and work methods. The fundamental reason for the masses to be dissatisfied with our work lies in the government, not the masses."

Yuan Kegong's low-key attitude and courage to bear mistakes were warmly supported by the masses, and the knot that the masses had been depressed was opened. Only then did the incident really begin to calm down.

While apologizing to the masses, the tough measures that should be taken were also not lost. A joint working group composed of public security organs at the provincial, municipal and county levels quickly found out that there were more than 300 people involved in the smashing, smashing and looting in the incident. There were more than 300 people, including more than 100 teachers and students. These people were naturally arrested for education, while the local criminal forces were caught again. The main leaders of major gangs were quickly arrested and brought to justice, for inciting the people to attack state organs, endangering social security, etc.

After everything calmed down, Yuan Kegong did not leave immediately, but instead organized the main leaders of Pingchuan City and Xinpi County to hold a meeting to inquire about the specific matters.

After the meeting began, Yuan Kegong first asked: "Why haven't you seen the county magistrate Li Xiaoning, others?"

Lian Ming hurriedly reported: "Comrade Li Xiaoning caused a huge loss of state-owned assets due to the reform of the cement plant. He is currently under investigation by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. In fact, this riot was also caused by him."

Yuan Kegong naturally would not believe Lian Ming's words easily, so he asked calmly: "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Lian Ming took the opportunity to add fuel to the whole story of the cement plant's restructuring and said it in detail, emphasizing that the market valuation of the cement plant was more than 200 million, while Li Xiaoning eventually sold it to Kaida Group was only 20 million. The workers organized demonstrations because they were dissatisfied with the loss of state-owned assets.

After listening to Lian Ming's report, Yuan Kegong became popular on the spot. He slapped the table and said angrily: "It's simply nonsense to play the piano randomly,"
