When the news came, Xia Li was silent for a long time.
If no one was killed, this case of clan fighting would be easier to deal with. In view of the strong folk customs in Taocheng County and the "strong" clan power in Taocheng County, relatively large-scale fights often occur, so the superiors are quite considerate of this.
The "clan hostility" that has developed historically in such remote and backward areas cannot be entirely blamed on those in power.
As long as no one is killed, superiors generally won't pursue it too closely.
But when someone dies, the situation is naturally different.
What Xia Li is most depressed about now is not how to explain to his superiors. What he is depressed about is how to handle this matter. In Yashan, he did say "let's forget the past" and repeatedly assured the villagers that he was not here to arrest anyone. But that
It was an expedient measure. If I hadn't said that at the time, I wouldn't have been able to stabilize people's hearts and control the situation. Now that I've killed someone, if I just let it go, how can I convince the public?
Putting aside the dignity of the law, the clan power in Taocheng County is far from limited to a corner of Liuqiao Township. The clans in other places are larger and have more people. At present, people are beaten to death in Liuqiao Township and are not dealt with.
, aren’t other clan forces even more unscrupulous? If there is one or two more large-scale clan fights, and a few more people are killed, Xia Li, the county party committee secretary, really doesn’t need to be the secretary of the county party committee.
It's even impossible to return to being the director of agriculture.
But if they really have to deal with it seriously and arrest some of the leaders of both sides of the fight and sentence them, Xia Li is worried that it will further intensify the Zhang and Ma tribesmen in Liuqiao Township, and it may even cause conflicts between the clan forces and the powerful state organs.
This is not unprecedented.
Moreover, Xia Li is a person who cares about face. Since he said in public that he would not pursue the case, it seems a bit unreasonable to go back and arrest people. Doesn’t the dignified county party committee secretary become a capricious villain?
what to do?
Asking Zhang Siwen for advice is obviously unrealistic.
For such a matter, as the secretary of the county party committee, he had no independent opinion and had to ask the secretary of the municipal party committee to work hard and find a solution for him. Zhang Siwen must have regretted that he had misjudged the wrong person.
Xia Li suddenly thought of someone getting better.
It's not that Xia Li believes in Yu Yan so much. In fact, Xia Li also feels that discussing such matters with Yu Yan will not yield any results. After all, Yu Yan is too young and may have some political vision. In terms of experience in handling local disputes, then
It's so lacking.
But now apart from Yu Yan, there is no other trusted person who can discuss the solution.
When you are agitated, finding someone you trust to talk to is also a good way to relieve tension. What's more, Yuyan is also the first secretary of the municipal party committee and knows Zhang Siwen's thoughts best.
In fact, Yu Yan has been thinking about the aftermath of this incident.
Of course, learning the methods of local governance is also an important reason, because I believe that it won't be long before he needs to deal with this aspect himself.
"Yu Yan, this matter is really troublesome..."
Xia Li sat down on the couch, lit a cigarette in Yu Yan's hand, leaned his head back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly.
In front of Yu Yan, Xia Li no longer concealed his true thoughts.
Yu Yan also smoked a cigarette and said thoughtfully: "Secretary Xia, my personal opinion is that it should be dealt with seriously. This kind of thing cannot be used to get used to it. Once you get used to it, something will go wrong. The ancients said that in troubled times, heavy codes should be used, and the official with the tiger's crown
, blood flowed for forty miles, and then the four townships were safe. Our Taocheng is remote and backward, with complicated clan forces, fighting with weapons at every turn, and public security is not good. If things go on like this, how can we talk about economic construction? I think we will have to kill a hundred people.
.”
Xia Li nodded slowly and said, "I think so too. But I am worried that arresting people right away will irritate the villagers. If another conflict occurs, it will not end well."
Yu Yan also considered Xia Li's worry carefully and said immediately: "Secretary Xia, Director Shen should figure this out. He is the director of public security, and he is in charge of this kind of thing. How can we arrest people without causing a backlash from the villagers?
It's his responsibility."
"Him? Humph, I don't think I can count on him!"
Charlie said angrily.
Xia Li was really dissatisfied with Shen Jinsheng's previous performance. Although it was not Shen Jinsheng's fault that he had poor physical strength. Many middle-aged men were in this situation. But as the director of public security, he could not even walk as fast as the county party secretary.
That's a bit nonsense. In Xiali, the police chief must be an iron-clad man, decisive in killing and resolute. If not, how can we ensure peace?
Yu Yan smiled and said: "Secretary Xia, objectively speaking, Director Shen is not bad in terms of physical strength, but his organizational and leadership skills are acceptable. He did not come from a public security background, so it is considered good to have such a performance."
Yu Yan, this is also true.
His views were different from Xia Li's, and he didn't think that the police chief had to be a "reckless man." In comparison, Yu Yan hoped that the public security chief would be a resourceful person.
After all, the security of a place cannot be achieved by relying on the "fierceness" of the police chief.
This is a comprehensive project.
"Furthermore, people who are not diligent often have more ideas. They use their brains more than their hands."
Yu Yan added that Shen Jinsheng had helped him once before, and Secretary Yu's impression of Shen Jinsheng was pretty good.
Xia Li nodded slightly, not sure if he really agreed with Yu Yan's judgment. He tilted his head on the sofa, thought for a while, and said: "This matter should be discussed in the Standing Committee. One person thinks about the shortcomings, and the other people think about the strengths.
.”
Yu Yan smiled and nodded.
Xiali's experience in local governance may be relatively lacking for the time being. It would be beneficial to hold more standing committee meetings and listen to the opinions of those "veterans".
As the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Yu Yan is a person who came down from the top, and with Zhang Siwen’s previous instructions to Xia Li, Yu Yan is qualified to participate in the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee in Taocheng County. Of course, Secretary Yu’s duty is to listen
And record. Only with ears and hands, without mouth.
Naturally, Yu Yan was not willing to miss this opportunity to train himself.
Xia Li brainstormed ideas through the County Party Committee Standing Committee, Yu Yan didn't just "learn from experience"?
The fact is that the opinions of the majority of the county party committee standing committee members are consistent with Yu Yan's opinions.
Everyone thinks that this unhealthy trend should be rectified. For many years, the clan forces in Taocheng County have been fighting constantly, and it won't be long before there will be trouble. It's just different in scale. And every time there is a trouble, the county must let the
The leaders have been having headaches for a long time, and they are very worried about wiping their butts.
Now we should arrest a few of the leaders, sentence them to a few years in prison, and set an example to see if anyone else will follow suit.
County Magistrate Ma He's speech aroused Yu Yan's interest.
Ma He also agreed with the opinions of most of the Standing Committee members and believed that it should be dealt with seriously. However, in addition to killing Yiweibai, Ma He also talked about other issues.
Ma He believes that clan fighting is a feudal remnant and is related to the speed of economic development. The more remote and backward the area, the more likely it is to trigger such clan fighting. How come there are no clan fighting in the county?
Therefore, dealing with the leaders seriously and "killing one to serve as an example to others" only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The only way to eradicate this feudal remnant phenomenon is to accelerate economic development. As the economy improves and the countryside becomes rich, everyone's horizons will naturally open up.
When the mind is full of energy, who is still interested in group fights?
They are all busy making money!
Yu Yan deeply agreed with Ma He's statement.
Cangmi is very knowledgeable and knows etiquette!
It should be said that Yu Yan's impression of Ma He was very average, but if Ma He could become the county magistrate in his thirties, he must be something special. The bad impression did not prevent Yu Yan from learning his experience in local governance.
At least Ma He's vision is relatively advanced. He keeps a close eye on economic construction and does not relax, which can be regarded as fulfilling his duties.
Since most of the Standing Committee members agreed to deal with it seriously, the Standing Committee's opinions were relatively unified. Xiali finally made the decision to "kill one person to serve as a warning to others." As for how to implement it, it would naturally fall to the Public Security Bureau.
After discussing the measures to deal with this matter, Xia Li raised the second topic: reorganizing the leadership team of Beiluan District.
Facts have proved that Cao Yanxi is indeed not suitable for the position of secretary of the Beiluan District Party Committee. This person's enthusiasm for work has long faded, and he is just dawdling waiting for retirement. He is completely unqualified for such an important position.
The Standing Committee members were not surprised by the issue raised by Xia Li.
This is to be expected.
Firstly, Cao Yanxi was too old and not active in his work, so it was time to remove him. Secondly, it was three months since Xia Li took office as secretary of the county party committee and it was time to establish his authority. This clan fight was a good opportunity to replace him.
A veteran district committee secretary can have quite a shocking effect on people's minds. As a county-level cadre, Xia Li cannot move. The district committee secretary is already the most valuable position among department-level cadres.
If Xia Li doesn't even seize this opportunity, the county party committee secretary will really have wasted his work.
This proposal was also passed smoothly.
Even though Cao Yanxi has been working for a long time, because he has been working in a remote place like Beiluan District all year round, he does not have much contact with the county leaders. Naturally, no one will stand up to tell him at the critical moment.
Yes, Xia Li clearly wants to use his black gauze hat to show his authority. Now he comes out to speak to Cao Yanxi, just to make things difficult for Xia Li. Who would be willing to be such a standout?
The Standing Committee meeting unanimously approved that Caoyanxi Beiluan District Committee Secretary should be removed from the post and work will be arranged separately. The work of the Beiluan District Committee is temporarily presided over by Man Baoyuan, deputy secretary of the District Committee and district chief.
Yu Yan was involved in this clan fighting incident from beginning to end. But from beginning to end, Secretary Yu only regarded himself as a spectator. At most, he only gave some advice to Xia Li behind the scenes. With his current status, he was not serious.
Table board.
But what Yu Yan didn't expect was that within a few days, this matter would really be related to him, and it would be the most direct relationship.
