Luo Jun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind. He said in a deep voice: "We can't place all our hopes on a young man like Li Xiaoning. I think this way, it will be left to Comrade Liu Tong and Meng Fangping."
Comrade, please go down with the officers from the County Public Security Bureau. But you must remember that you are going down to calm the situation, not to intensify the contradictions. You must not let the situation expand. The central government has repeatedly issued orders that stability trumps all else. This must be taken seriously.
As long as we can resolve conflicts, calm down the situation, and stabilize the mood of the masses, we can just turn a blind eye to other matters. If the town government wall is torn down, it will be torn down. In the worst case, it will be rebuilt. It still needs to be based on serious matters.
Make trivial matters smaller, and everything should be based on the principle of stability and unity."
Liu Tong scratched his head and said: "Secretary Luo, you are thinking too well of those unruly people. They are not that easy to talk to at all. You can go down if you want me to, but I have to explain my words clearly first. The reason can be explained easily.
If it doesn't make sense, I'll still arrest the person."
Luo Jun frowned and said: "It's up to you whether to arrest the person or not. But you must be cautious, attach importance to factual basis, and resolutely follow legal procedures. Don't arrest the wrong person, as that will only add fuel to the fire.
.”
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Liu Tong said nonchalantly.
"Okay. Are there any questions? If not, let's adjourn the meeting." Luo Jun said and closed his notebook.
Meng Fangping answered: "I have a question."
"What's the problem?" Luo Jun opened his notebook again.
Meng Fangping touched his forehead and said: "There are only more than 300 people in our bureau, and the mobile police force is only a few dozen. Moreover, there are no special police officers, and they do not have the ability and experience to deal with such riots. I wonder if it is different from the city's
Report it and ask them to send special police down to provide support?"
Luo Jun snapped, closed the notebook again, and said angrily: "The meeting is over!" After that, he stood up and left.
"Secretary Luo! What should I do before you tell me my opinion? Why did the meeting end?" Meng Fangping asked anxiously.
Song Shijie tapped Meng Fangping with his pen, said, "No brainer," and then left the conference room.
"County Magistrate Song, why are you scolding people?" Meng Fangping muttered, looking unhappy.
"It's easy for him to call you stupid." Liu Tong stood up and said with a smile, "When something like this happened, the two of them couldn't hide it, and they took the initiative to report it to their superiors? Isn't that asking for embarrassment?
?”
"But I really don't have enough manpower!" Meng Fangping still looked confused.
"But you have a gun!" Liu Tong said, "Chairman Mao said it well, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Why are we the government, because we hold the barrel of the gun. Let's go. Just call twenty people. That's enough.
.”
When Li Xiaoning rushed back to the Pingshan Town Government, nearly a thousand farmers gathered in the town government compound had still not dispersed. Everyone was sitting or standing, and the crowd was still excited. The walls and gates that had been knocked down were in a mess.
The staff of the county party committee who drove Li Xiaoning back saw the dense crowd and kindly advised: "Mayor Li, don't go there yet. Your appointment has not been officially issued yet. You are not responsible for this matter. But if you
If it goes down, if the situation is not controlled, things will be in trouble..."
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to consider who will bear the responsibility. The reason why I rushed back overnight was to prevent the situation from getting bigger. Now that I am at the door of my house, there is no reason to go back?" After that, he firmly opened the car door.
, walked towards the crowd surrounding the town government in front...
The staff member of the county party committee was not very old and was also a passionate young man. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder someone can become the mayor at a young age. Just because he has the courage to take on this responsibility, it is not something ordinary people can do."
It’s comparable.”
The driver sneered and said: "I think he is just a fool. For others, there is no way to hide when something like this happens, but he wants to try his best to get in. After all, he is young and inexperienced. How can these rural people be so so?
Is it easy to listen to the truth? Just watch, he will suffer the consequences!"
The staff member of the county party committee glanced sideways at the driver and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart: You are a driver, what do you know?
The crowd surrounded the town government. Li Xiaoning stepped forward and shouted: "Please give way, I want to go in."
People didn't know him, so a middle-aged man with a parted hair, Chinese tunic suit, and glasses came over and asked, "Who are you? What are you squeezing in?"
Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "My place is inside. If I don't go in, there will be no place to sleep tonight!"
"You live there?" The man looked Li Xiaoning up and down and asked with some disbelief, "It's the town government inside. How come you live there?"
Li Xiaoning stretched out his hand and pointed inward and said, "Isn't there a dormitory at the back?"
"Oh. You are a teacher from the middle school in this town, right? I'm telling you, don't go in yet. Everyone in the province will beat you up as a cadre later." Seeing Li Xiaoning's polite demeanor, the man thought
He is a teacher and kindly reminded me.
Li Xiaoning shook his head and said: "I'm not a teacher, I just work there."
"Oh, you are also in the government? Did those officials call you here? Damn it, these officials not only bully us ordinary people, but also bully you little clerks. You have to hold on to your back to suffer the consequences.
"I see that you have a very kind face. You are different from those officials. Listen to me and don't go in." The man was quite kind. He probably thought that Li Xiaoning was young and thought he was just an ordinary clerk.
Li Xiaoning smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I can't do it if I don't go in. They have been calling me. If I don't go in, they will knock me down. Otherwise, my job will be ruined. Brother, you can do it."
OK, let me in!"
"These officials are really nothing." The man cursed again, and then said to Li Xiaoning, "There is no problem in letting you in. But they have pushed the door open from the inside, how are you going to get in?"
Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will definitely let me in when they see me."
"Okay. I'll take you in, but I need to make it clear to you first. If a fight breaks out later, don't say I didn't warn you." The man was also enthusiastic, and immediately pushed forward with Li Xiaoning.
.
It can be seen that this middle-aged man wearing glasses is quite prestigious among the crowd of onlookers. When everyone saw him moving forward, they all gave way to him.
Soon Li Xiaoning squeezed to the front and saw Zhang Erwa who was surrounded by people. There was a circle of white mucus on his lips. He must have been dry mouth and tongue. There were also a few scratches on his face.
I don’t know who was caught.
Li Xiaoning squeezed over quickly. When Zhang Erwa saw him, he was immediately relieved, "Mayor Li, you are finally here!" Logically speaking, he, Zhang Erwa, is now the top leader of Pingshan Town, but he really can't
Faced with this situation, we pinned our hopes on Li Xiaoning.
"Mayor Li?"
"Mayor?"
The faces of the onlookers, including the middle-aged man wearing glasses, were full of doubts. This young man who looked like a student was actually the mayor?
Li Xiaoning jumped on the roof of the jeep next to him and shouted to the crowd, "Farmer brothers! I am Li Xiaoning, the newly appointed mayor of Pingshan Town! Please listen to what I have to say."
For a moment, the crowd was stunned because they really didn't expect that such a young person would be their mayor.
Li Xiaoning took this opportunity and continued: "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I, the mayor of the town, did not do my job well. Some cadres in the town made mistakes in their work, which caused difficulties to everyone. It is our fault!" said
After that, he bent down and bowed deeply to the crowd.
This time, people were even more stunned. Officials have always been aloof, and even a small clerk yelled at the common people. How had they ever seen an official apologize to the common people? And the mayor himself apologized?
The life circle of the people in Pingshan Town is very closed. In their minds, the mayor is a very big official. And they actually come here to solve problems. Now they see that this mayor is different from other officials.
Everyone is willing to listen to what he has to say first.
Li Xiaoning continued: "Farmer brothers! I understand your mood very well. The burden on you is already very heavy. We should never raise funds from you again, let alone forcibly collect the funds. You are right to be angry. I understand.
You. I promise you that all the funds collected will be returned in full, and any other losses will be compensated according to the price. And in the future, I will never do anything like this that increases the burden on the people. In addition, for this time
You will never be held accountable for damaging the town government's public property."
"Mayor Xiao Li, what you say makes me feel comfortable. We have nothing else to do here today. As long as the town government refunds our funds in full, we will go back immediately." Gao, the middle-aged man wearing glasses
said the voice.
"The money must be refunded." Li Xiaoning said neatly, "But you can't do this now. You are gathering people to make trouble and committing illegal crimes. And you are all gathered here, and the government can't work. I want to refund you.
I can’t find a clue about the money. Isn’t it your time that was wasted? In this case, you can leave now and go to the town government one by one in the village tomorrow to collect the money.”
"Don't try to fool us! You officials never draft your lies. Today will delay tomorrow, and tomorrow will delay the day after tomorrow! We won't be fooled again this time. If you don't give us money today, we will never leave!"
A strong young man in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Yes, we won't leave if you don't give us money today!" The crowd around them responded immediately, and the emotions that had just calmed down suddenly surged again.
