There was a buzz in the audience, and the gray-haired old people were chattering away like they were having a meeting in a vegetable market.

Lao Qi, who was sitting in the front row wearing glasses, stood up, turned around and made a quiet gesture to everyone, and then turned to face Li Yuanlang.

"Mayor, you just said so much and made thoughtful arrangements for us. We thank you and understand the difficulties of your city leaders."

"But having said that, if Fan Youcheng has a problem, the hundreds of employees of Jingcheng Chemical are not guilty. As you said, the city will not let them sit idly by without their jobs. I want to ask again whether your words count.

"

"The children of those of us have been working at Jingcheng Chemical for a long time. Some are brothers and sisters, and some are both husband and wife. This situation is very common."

"Once Jingcheng Chemical collapses, the whole family will be unemployed. We are all elderly people in their twilight years, and our children are not young either. We are old and young, and we are at the age where we cannot afford to lose our jobs. To put it bluntly, Jingcheng

Chemical industry is the foundation for the stability and harmony of our family. Without it, our family will collapse."

"So, please make a promise, Lord Mayor, no matter what the outcome of the court hearing tomorrow is, we must make arrangements for the children and not let them go hungry."

Obviously, Lao Qi not only has organizational skills, he is also a far-sighted and cultural person. The essence of the matter is revealed in one sentence, which is also the topic that everyone is most concerned about.

Li Yuanlang said calmly: "I guarantee it with my party spirit and personality."

Just a few words, especially his firm face and courage, convinced many elderly people in the audience.

This kind of expression is clean, pure, and not mixed with the slightest perfunctory.

Lao Qi observed Li Yuanlang for a long time, and finally nodded vigorously and said what was in his heart, "Mayor, I believe you, all of us believe what you say."

Immediately, Lao Qi left his seat and walked towards the door of the conference room first.

Immediately afterwards, someone followed him.

One becomes two, and two becomes a dozen.

One after another, all the elderly people at the scene got up and walked out.

Some old people wanted to ask something else, but were dragged away by the people around them, "Old Qi has finished asking questions for us, let's go."

Li Yuanlang slowly stood up and looked at the elderly people's retreating figures, but his eyes became solemn...

Yes, if Jingcheng Chemical cannot afford the huge compensation, it may be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Then, the big rock weighing on everyone's hearts will collapse quickly.

How to save Jingcheng Chemical has become his top priority.

Less than ten minutes after the old people left the city hall, Li Peishe called, and hundreds of Jingcheng Chemical employees at the entrance of the Intermediate Court also left in an orderly manner.

The petition turmoil has temporarily calmed down due to Li Yuanlang's head-on response.

Yes, it can only be said to be temporary. Whether there will be any big disturbance in the future depends on whether Li Yuanlang meets their requirements.

The next morning, the live broadcast trial of the environmental protection case was held as scheduled.

Li Yuanlang put down his work, sat in front of the computer, and watched the trial process with great interest.

The Municipal Intermediate People's Court not only broadcast the entire court hearing online, but also contacted Deping City TV Station to undertake the live broadcast.

At the same time, at Jingcheng Chemical, the employees and their families related to Jingcheng Chemical, as well as the residents living on both sides of the Dechun River, all stayed in front of the TV or used their mobile phones to watch attentively.

Not only them, many leaders in the city were also watching.

Including Deping City Plaza and large shopping mall display screens, broadcast simultaneously.

Many citizens also stopped to watch the first live broadcast of the court hearing in Deping City's history.

It can be said that it is unprecedented and attracts everyone's attention.

At nine o'clock in the morning, members of the collegial panel led by Li Peishe appeared on the screen.

First, the clerk read out the court discipline, and then Li Peishe made the opening remarks about the trial and sounded the gavel.

The second hearing of the environmental protection case has officially begun.

A senior lawyer hired by the Environmental Protection Federation was the first to speak.

As soon as he came up, he submitted two pieces of supplementary evidence to the court.

One is the production and financial data of Jingcheng Chemical.

& nb bsp; It can be seen from the data that Yuantai Chemical not only handles waste, but also treats a dangerous goods.

The characteristics of pollution in the Dechun River are very consistent with this dangerous product.

From this, we can suspect that the acid sold by Jingcheng Chemical to Yuantai Chemical is very likely to be mixed with this dangerous product.

The lawyer hired by the defendant Jingcheng Chemical said that waste materials and dangerous goods are two completely different processes. This evidence was not established and was rejected in court.

The plaintiff's attorney took his time and presented a second piece of evidence.

This evidence was provided by Zeng Tai's wife.

It is an account book of secret financial transactions between Zeng Tai and Bai Shanming, assistant to the general manager of Jingcheng Chemical during his lifetime.

According to the account book, Jingcheng Chemical was paying Yuantai Chemical for waste materials. Every two to four days, Bai Shanming would withdraw 20% of it from Zeng Tai, more than 20 times, totaling

Three million yuan.

Yuantai Chemical's treatment of Jingcheng chemical waste was already lower than the market price. In addition, Bai Shanming took away another three million. It is conceivable that Yuantai Chemical had no choice but to dump the waste into the Dechun River.

Based on this, it can be judged that Jingcheng Chemical is the co-conspirator of Yuantai Chemical’s environmental pollution.

When his words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Li Peishe had to bang the gavel again to ensure order and quiet at the scene.

Obviously, the emergence of the second piece of evidence caught Jingcheng Chemical’s defense lawyers off guard.

After calming down, the defendant's lawyer began to defend himself.

He started by talking about Yuantai Chemical's qualifications for handling waste, explaining that Yuantai Chemical has all the procedures in place and is fully capable of handling waste.

Jingcheng Chemical entrusted Yuantai Chemical to process the waste, and the contract signed by both parties was legal and valid.

As for the account book between Bai Shanming and Zeng Tai, it belongs to the private financial transactions between Bai Shanming and Zeng Tai. It cannot be judged from this that it is related to Jingcheng Chemical.

To put it bluntly, that is their personal relationship and has nothing to do with this case. I request the court not to support it.

The plaintiff's lawyer argued hard, saying that if the evidence he submitted to the court was invalid, the pollution of the Dechun River would be unmistakable, and the promulgation of the Environmental Protection Law would be meaningless.

There was a heated exchange of words between the two sides, and the debate was in full swing.

Li Yuanlang, who was on the other side of the screen, frowned. He had a premonition that this live trial was unusual, so he watched more carefully.

Fan Youcheng was not in the same state of mind as Li Yuanlang. Bai Shanming took away three million yuan in benefits without authorization behind his back, which made him very angry.

He quickly called his secretary and immediately went to Bai Shanming to question Bai Shanming face to face as to why he stabbed him in the back.

After he sat back down, a new situation appeared on the computer screen.

The plaintiff’s lawyer presented a third piece of evidence, which was provided by a third-party testing agency on the water quality of the Dechun River and the dangerous goods detected in the sludge.

Because this data was delayed due to matters, it was sent later and missed the time for proof.

After discussion between Li Peishe and the collegial panel, it was agreed that this evidence could be used.

The plaintiff's lawyer pointed out that this report can detect in detail that the pollutants in the Dechun River include dangerous goods.

Yuantai Chemical can only handle waste materials and does not have the qualifications to handle such dangerous goods.

Jingcheng Chemical entrusted Yuantai Chemical to deal with it even though it knew that Yuantai Chemical was in such a situation, which itself had problems.

Moreover, the plaintiff's lawyer seized on the defendant's lawyer's statement that waste materials and dangerous goods do not belong to the same production process, so it is certain that dangerous goods are artificially mixed in.

Also, according to the criminals arrested by Yuantai Chemical, the waste handed over to them by Jingcheng Chemical contained such dangerous goods.

In other words, Jingcheng Chemical mixed the waste with dangerous goods and then entrusted Yuantai Chemical to dispose of it. This blatant behavior has violated relevant laws.

When Fan Youcheng heard this, he immediately hit his forehead and leaned back on the chair in despair, knowing that everything was going in a direction that was not conducive to him.

The tide is over.

This is a true portrayal of Fan Youcheng's heart at this moment.

At this time, Li Peishe announced that the court was adjourned and the collegial panel would make a verdict later after studying the case.
Chapter completed!
