The policemen were stunned for a moment, looked at the old chief, and stopped pulling, but still did not let go - because the order they received was to control the two women and send them to their homes.
This order was issued by their immediate superiors, Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong. They also knew that the old leader was the leader of the central government, but without orders from Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong, they still did not dare to let go.
At this moment, several guards who had got out of another car and were standing next to the old chief heard the old chief shouting, but the policemen still did not let go. Two of the guards suddenly walked over without saying a word.
, one person grabbed the arm of a policeman, lifted them up and threw them to the side. Then they followed the same pattern, like an eagle catching a chicken, and lifted the other policemen away from the mother and daughter one by one, and then held them by the hand.
One, brought the mother and daughter to the old chief.
Seeing that the woman was still kneeling down, the old chief quickly went up to help her up and said kindly: "If you have any grievances, just tell me! Although I can't solve it for you on the spot, I will find the relevant departments and try my best to help you."
solve."
The woman took out the piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to the old chief. She said with tears in her eyes: "Chief, you have to make the decision for us! My husband was forcibly imprisoned by corrupt officials just because he was building the road under our feet.
Enter the mental hospital. Look at the road under your feet - this road has been built less than two years ago and is already in such a state of decay. My husband originally opposed the construction of this road by the mayor of Mingguang City's brother-in-law.
They plotted against him. He was imprisoned in a mental hospital for three years, which was worse than being in prison! There were still some normal people in the cell, but the place where he stayed was purely with lunatics! If this continues, he will
He will definitely become crazy."
The old chief couldn't bear to hear the people talking about the things they suffered. At this moment, when he heard the woman's miserable cry, his eyes became wet before he even read the petition. He hurriedly comforted her and said: "Sister, don't worry. Let me take a look.
If there is anything unreasonable about what you wrote on this piece of paper, I will definitely make the decision for you!"
With that said, he ordered his secretary to read what was written on the petition in front of everyone.
At this time, He Yuelong, Gu Zhenmin, Qiu Guangrong and others gathered around. Lin Xue also held Leng Xiaotian's hand and stood outside together to listen.
When Ling Xiaotian saw Lin Xue getting out of the car, he held on to his hand. He was afraid that Gu Zhenmin, Qiu Guangrong and others would see him. He tried to shake off her hand several times, but she stuck it to her like a gummy candy.
He got it on him and even took the opportunity to twist his arm a few times, but in the end he had no choice but to let it go.
While the secretary was reading the contents on the paper, the old chief stood there with squinted eyes and listened quietly, never saying a word, and his face was calm as usual.
Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong became more and more surprised as they listened. At the same time, they turned their attention to He Yuelong, whose face turned green and red, and their expressions became increasingly angry.
After the secretary finished reading, Gu Zhenmin immediately walked up to the old chief and said with shame: "Chief, I'm sorry! At first we didn't know that this was Director Li Deyu's lover, nor did we know about Director Li's complaint. Political Commissar Qiu and I did not go through you
With your permission, I ordered my subordinates to invite them back home without authorization, and I will review them to you!"
The old chief nodded and asked He Yuelong, who was standing there wiping cold sweat on his face: "Secretary He, what about you? How do you explain it? Don't tell me that you haven't asked them why the mother and daughter complained! Now that you know they complained
Why did you deliberately hide the content from me?"
He Yuelong knew that this matter could no longer be concealed, so he had no choice but to say: "Chief, let me tell you frankly: I did have selfish motives in deceiving you about this matter, but I hope you can understand. First of all, this matter involves Mingguang
Mayor Zhang of the city, as a subordinate, I don’t know what to do or what to say; secondly, you came to Wushui to recuperate and relax, so I would be embarrassed if I trouble you with such chores..."
"What? You said this is a chore?"
The old chief looked at him with wide eyes and interrupted him angrily: "Comrade Xiao He, as a county party secretary and a leading cadre who has been trained and educated by the party for many years, you actually said that this is related to the relationship between the party and the masses, and the relationship between cadres and the masses.
The major events of concern are trivial matters. Where is your position? Where is your consciousness? Also, you keep saying that Mayor Zhang is your leader. It is difficult for you to say or do this. Your party spirit
Where is it? Among our party members, regardless of their position or official position, they can criticize and self-criticize, and they can report and expose the illegal and criminal behavior of party members who violate disciplines. Do you think that Mayor Zhang is your leader?
Wanting to conceal something deliberately and to be a secret for His Majesty is a typical form of servility. To put it bluntly, it is servility! To be honest, I don’t need to investigate or seek confirmation, and I can roughly judge that what is written on this paper is absolutely true.
It's a fact. If you don't believe it, take a look at the road under our feet. It was built less than two years ago and has become like this. What if this isn't a shoddy project? And according to my experience, any shoddy project is like this.
There will definitely be problems such as official corruption and collusion between government and businessmen behind the project. This proves that the illegal bidding situation reported by the deputy director of the Highway Bureau exists. With this premise, he was framed and forcibly imprisoned.
A mental hospital is very likely. Tell me: You, the secretary of the county party committee, think that such a big rape case in this county is just a trivial matter, so what is your main business? Is it that you try every means to please your superiors and try every means to deceive and conceal it?
Come on? That’s really unreasonable!”
He Yuelong was so frightened by the thunderous wrath of the old leader that he did not dare to speak out. He stood there obediently, with sweat beads rolling down his face like raindrops.
After the old leader finished training He Yuelong, he pulled the little girl whose eyes were red and swollen from crying into his arms. While stroking her bony little hands, he said: "Good boy, grandpa will help you solve your father's matter. Your father
You will be back soon. Now go home with your mother. The Chinese New Year is almost here. Eat more good food, eat more meat, and gain weight. Dad will be very happy to see you when he comes back."
The little girl sobbed and said: "Grandpa, there is no meat in my family. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. Our family now has a piece of meat. It was brought to us by my grandpa's family who killed the pig. My mother said that this piece of meat is reserved for us."
You can’t eat the food you eat during the Chinese New Year now!”
The old chief's tears flowed down. He raised his head and asked Li Deyu's lover tremblingly: "What's going on? Why don't your children eat more pieces of meat during the Chinese New Year?"
Li Deyu's lover's tears flowed down again, and he choked and said: "Chief, after my old Li was sent to a mental hospital, the Highway Bureau did not allow me to collect his salary, saying that they were afraid that I would use the salary to commit suicide. I resigned again
In the past few years, I have been running around trying to rescue Lao Li, but all the money I had saved, including the money from selling the house, was gone. Lao Li is an orphan and has no relatives or friends, so I had to move to my parents’ home.
I came here and found an abandoned warehouse to live in. My parents thought that I always complained, and my family was also poor. After supporting us for a while, they couldn’t take care of us anymore. I’m not afraid of your jokes if I say it: don’t say it
Meat, my family will be almost out of rice in two days, and I may have to go to other people’s houses to beg for rice on the first day of the 30th lunar month! It doesn’t matter to me, it’s just a pain for my children!”
As he spoke, he held his daughter in his arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried!
Everyone watching the mother and daughter, except He Yuelong and the expressionless guards, shed tears.
Lin Xue suddenly walked over and took out his wallet while wiping his tears. When he saw that there were only a few hundred dollars in it, he turned around and said to Leng Xiaotian: "Lend me whatever money you brought, and I will pay you back when I get back."
!”
Lengxiaotian took out his wallet, which contained 5,000 yuan that his father had specially put in his bag for emergency use before going out in the morning. He took out all of it and gave it to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue didn't count how much money it was, and along with the hundreds of dollars in her wallet, she stuffed it into the woman's hand and said with red eyes: "Auntie, you can use this money to buy something good for this little sister. I wish you a happy life."
A safe and happy Spring Festival!”
Li Deyu's wife held the stack of banknotes blankly, so moved that she didn't know what to say.
At this time, the old chief also asked his secretary to bring 10,000 yuan and handed it to Li Deyu's lover. Gu Zhenmin and Qiu Guangrong also took out all the money in their wallets and gave it to her.
He Yuelong stood there awkwardly, seeing them all paying. Although he wanted to give some money to their mother and daughter to restore his bad impression in the old chief's mind, he was unable to do anything: he usually didn't carry any money with him, and he couldn't even buy anything.
It was the secretary who paid him, but due to special circumstances today, the secretary didn't come with him. He didn't have a dime in his pocket, so he couldn't donate even if he wanted to!
After the old leader finished donating, he stood up, asked his secretary to bring his cell phone, and dialed the number of Tiannan Provincial Party Committee Secretary Du Yuan.
"Xiao Du, I am Lin Zhendong!"
"Oh, hello, old chief! Why did you remember to call me? I'm so busy with things this year that I haven't had time to send you New Year greetings in advance. Don't be surprised!"
"You are now an official in the border area, and you have not been in office for a long time. You have a lot of tasks, so don't worry about me, an old man. However, I am looking for you today because I need your help with something!"
"Old chief, what are you talking about? What do you mean you want my help? You are too polite. If you have anything to do, just give me an order. No matter how busy I am, your order will still come first!"
"Okay. I'm in Wushui County, Mingguang City now, and I'm going to Xiao Leng's house to celebrate the New Year later. I wasn't going to tell you about this, but now I've encountered something very disturbing, and I have to call you.
."
"Ah, old chief, have you really arrived in Wu Shui? If you need anything, please tell me!"
Secretary Du said happily on the other end of the phone.
"You only need to make a phone call to the Secretary of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee and ask him to send someone to investigate the matter of a deputy director of the Wushui Highway Bureau named Li Deyu who was imprisoned in a mental hospital three years ago. You tell him that this matter must be investigated secretly, especially
You can’t let the mayor of Mingguang City named Zhang know. Also, I hope you will do everything you can to send someone to take Li Deyu out of the mental hospital tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, and let him go home for the New Year.
