After listening to Tao Feifei's words, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a little silent. Yes, he is just a small League and County Party Committee Secretary now. He has no power or power. He is angry and angry, but he has no concern for the country and the people. The power to stabilize and govern the country.
On the way back, the more Li Xiaoning thought about it, the more he felt unwilling to do so. He was powerless to do what had already happened, but now that he was the Youth League Committee Secretary of Dongping County, he would never allow another similar incident to happen again.
"Feifei, let's not go back to the county seat yet," Li Xiaoning said, "Let's go back again. I guess Taoyuan Primary School is not an exception. Similar situations may exist in other school buildings. We need to conduct a comprehensive review of the current situation of all schools in the county." Be aware of it, think of ways in advance, and go visit all the school buildings in Dongshan Town today."
Li Xiaoning had already planned to settle the matter, but some people were worried that the world would not be in chaos. People from the Education Bureau and the Public Security Bureau came to deal with the school building collapse accident. They did not talk about how to deal with the aftermath and compensation, but went directly to the dead student's home and asked the family to immediately take care of the incident. The child is cremated.
The child's parents were both honest people. They were devastated when their child died. They didn't think about compensation or not. They were still hurt. When they saw people from the Public Security Bureau coming, they panicked. , the mother hugged her son's body tightly and refused to let go.
If no one else was present at this time, the child's body might have been snatched away directly. Once cremated, nothing would really happen. However, just because the child's parents are honest people does not mean that his relatives and friends are also honest people. .
An uncle in a suit, with his trousers rolled up and white socks exposed, stood up. He was the fourth uncle of the deceased child. He had worked outside for several years and was considered a man who had "seen the world". He knew that the government now attaches great importance to maintaining stability, and the child Death is a good time for blackmail.
The fourth uncle jumped forward, stopped the people from the Education Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, held out five fingers and said: "You can also be cremated. Take five million, not a cent less. My nephew died unjustly. If we don’t pay the people who were killed by your shoddy projects, we will go to Yanjing to file a lawsuit.”
A staff member from the Education Bureau said angrily: "We are not here to discuss compensation with you today. The body must be cremated as soon as possible. We can discuss the follow-up matters later."
"You are lying. The body has been cremated. How can we ask for money? If we don't give you money, we will not cremate it. We will carry the body to the county government in the afternoon." The fourth uncle also had a very tough attitude.
The two sides were quarreling with each other and refused to give in. Even though this fourth uncle looked like a country bumpkin, he was really a character, and he did not fall behind in the face of the police.
The two sides kept arguing for an hour, during which the police tried to snatch the body, but the family members became angry and used picks and shovels to beat out the people from the Education Bureau and the Public Security Bureau.
These people did not expect to encounter such tenacious resistance, and did not bring special police. They were afraid that they would suffer if the trouble continued, so they had to withdraw in despair.
The fourth uncle was also a careless master. Seeing that he had won the first battle, he immediately became more energetic. He went to the village to find some sharp-headed young men, and actually carried the body and rushed to the county seat in a mighty manner, intending to go to the county town. Make trouble in front of the government gate.
Li Xiaoning and Tao Feifei visited the schools in Dongshan Town. When they returned, they were blocked when they reached a bridge that they must pass to enter the county town because thousands of people had gathered on the bridge, completely blocking the traffic.
Seeing that the traffic on the bridge was blocked, Li Xiaoning had to park his car on the side of the road, climbed up a nearby slope, and looked towards the bridge. He saw that the bridge was full of cars parked in a mess, with motor vehicles left behind. All the spaces were dark and crowded with people. Then I looked forward to the bridge until I could not see the end of the distance. There were thousands of people, densely packed with people. Looking back again, I saw that the road I had just walked on was also filled with people. It was already crowded with people and cars, and it was impossible for the car that had just squeezed in to move back.
The surrounding crowds were still pushing hard to get to the bridge, hoping to get a closer look. People from far away on the opposite side were also pushing hard to get to the bridge, hoping to get a closer look. As a result, the center of the bridge became a place where people desperately wanted to get a closer look. Crowded, hope-to-reach party center.
People in front of me and behind me were all talking in gibberish, and the surroundings were noisy, but after a while, it turned into a uniform slogan:
"Down with corrupt officials,"
"No one cares about the death of a student. It is unreasonable and unreasonable."
"Be fair, be fair,"
Li Xiaoning saw a four-wheel tractor parked in the center of the bridge from a distance. The vehicle was surrounded by a circle of people wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning. There were nearly a hundred heavily armed special police standing opposite. A body that had been covered up could be faintly seen on the vehicle. A corpse covered with white cloth.
"What's going on? Who is the deceased?" Li Xiaoning hurriedly asked the people around him.
"I heard that a student from Dongshan Town was killed when his school collapsed. How pitiful," a dark-skinned middle-aged man said with a regretful tone.
"These corrupt officials only know how to make money, and they even dare to build shoddy projects in schools. They are so heartless," a young man wearing glasses who looked like a high school student said angrily.
"What's going on here when a person dies without taking care of his own affairs?" Li Xiaoning asked with a frown. He already knew that the person in the car was the student who was killed in the morning, but he didn't understand why such a fuss was made again.
The student immediately explained enthusiastically: "It's not like those bastard officials went to someone's house to snatch the body for cremation. The family was not happy, so they took the body to the county government to seek justice. No, they just left." When we got to the bridge, we were blocked by the police. The onlookers couldn't stand it, so they joined the demonstration camp. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and I want to go and cheer." After that, the student said Leaving Li Xiaoning aside, he squeezed towards the center of the bridge.
Li Xiaoning's brows couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that the development of this matter had changed. Originally, this matter could barely be regarded as a natural disaster, but it was just compensation. Now after this trouble, coupled with the addition of people with ulterior motives, After some instigation, the angry youths started to coax together, and it suddenly became a mass incident.
The most indispensable thing in China is those angry young people who are afraid of chaos in the world and feel that everything in the world is dark except their own hearts. What they are used to doing is taking quotes out of context and stirring up trouble. Little do they know that there are many social problems. Our responsibility is To solve the problem, not to intensify it. The problem must be solved, but it must be solved reasonably. If they make such a fuss, it will not only not help the problem, but also make things that are easy to solve more complicated, and will only involve more innocent people.
While Li Xiaoning was thinking about how to persuade everyone to disperse, the student who had just spoken to Li Xiaoning had already squeezed to the front, climbed onto the tractor, and shouted crazily: "Comrades, don't break out in the midst of oppression, just be in the midst of oppression." District 4, let me stand up and die today,"
The crowd was encouraged and became more energetic. Everyone straightened their backs and held their heads high. Someone shouted, "If we don't knock down the corrupt officials today, it won't be over." This immediately aroused the crowd's emotions to a high level. At the extreme, someone in the crowd kept shouting:
"Get out of here, you corrupt corrupt officials."
"Mao Qiushi is the biggest corrupt official in Dongping County, let him get out,"
The student's face flushed with excitement. He put one arm around his waist and raised the other arm high. Suddenly, he raised his arms and shouted: "Down with the corrupt officials, punish the corrupt officials, and give me the blue sky."
After the student shouted, people scattered all over the mountains and plains suddenly fell silent for a moment. Then, as if they suddenly woke up, everyone shouted in unison with him:
"Down with corrupt officials, punish corrupt officials, and give me the blue sky,"
Just as the crowd's slogans were rising and falling, suddenly, there was a commotion on the other side of the bridge, and someone shouted: "The police are arresting someone,"
The people around Li Xiaoning also became flustered. Everyone was talking about it: "We demand that corrupt officials be punished. Why are we afraid of the police?"
"Do you understand that demonstrations need to be registered in advance, otherwise the police can still arrest people,"
"Damn it, let's not bring down the corrupt officials before they are convicted of gathering a crowd to cause trouble,"
People demonstrating on and off the bridge were panicked:
"The police arrested someone,"
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you run quickly?"
"Hey, why are you pushing me?"
"Who pushed you, fuck, who stepped on my toes,"
"Ah, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, ah...ah..."
There was a commotion in the whole crowd. Everyone squeezed me and I squeezed you. An unexpected tragedy happened in an instant...
I don’t know who started the tractor. The out-of-control tractor crashed through the bridge railings and fell into the river. I don’t know who shouted, “The bridge is going to collapse.” It didn’t matter. It alarmed more people. The frightened people crowded together more and more desperately. Finally, someone couldn't control his body and fell to the ground, then the second one, then the third one, and then...
The police on the opposite side took out their batons and tried to control the order at the scene, but their approach only worsened the situation, and many people were forced to jump off the bridge.
Finally, the lime bridge, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed. Countless people and more than a dozen policemen on the bridge fell into the river along with the collapsed bridge body. The sudden fall of the bridge, vehicles, and crowds caused the quiet river to stir up water several feet high.
The radiating water spray spread out into the sky like a huge fishing net, and then scattered on the river, stirring up countless new sprays in the river.
The roar of the falling water was as loud as an explosion. The deafening sound reverberated in the air for a long time, so long that it felt like centuries had passed.
When people's consciousness regained consciousness, people's screams came from all over the mountains and fields; only the sounds of people crying came and went from the river...
