And even Xiaozhu said that there are no good people in government, which shows their deep prejudice against government officials. What did local government officials do to make this old hero so disgusted with government officials?! Duan Zetao became more determined to break the casserole.
Determined to ask the question, he smiled slightly and said: "Old man, how can you conclude that I am a government official?! How do I look like a government official?!...".
The old man said coldly: "I am old, but I am still not blind. You drive a car with your entourage, and when you speak, you are official. What are you if you are not a government official?! The world has changed now. In the past, in the army
Those chiefs were all talking the truth, unlike today's government officials who are all talking about horse racing and not telling the truth..."
Duan Zetao's heart trembled. Although this old man was eighty-five years old, he saw things clearly, observed meticulously, and had quick thinking. He was really not simple. He quickly said sincerely: "I'm sorry, old man, I really didn't lie to you.
I came here this time just to understand the real situation at the grassroots level. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me..."
The old man waved his hands and said coldly: "No need. We, the grandfather and the grandson, are self-reliant and can't starve to death. I've learned a lot about your officials' tongue-tied skills. Last time, some Secretary Dong came to our village and was more ostentatious than you."
I'm still older, I've been talking to you, and my words are more beautiful than you, but what happened, I just patted my butt and walked away without fulfilling anything...".
After saying that, he ignored Duan Zetao and turned to Xiao Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, let's go! When you grow up, you must be a down-to-earth person and not learn from those official lies..." As he said that, he was minding his own business.
I dragged the cart onto a nearby trail.
Duan Zetao couldn't keep up and stood there deep in thought. Feng Jinbo and Zhou Junlong also quickly followed. Zhou Junlong complained: "This old man really doesn't know how to lift the cart. Governor Duan, you personally helped him push the cart. You don't know."
It was so outrageous that he left without even a word of thanks for the blessings he had accumulated over several lifetimes!..."
Duan Zetao glanced at Zhou Junlong displeasedly and said sternly: "Junlong, you are not allowed to think like this. We are cadres elected by the people and public servants of the people. We are not superior to ordinary people! The old man just now is an anti-Japanese hero and deserves more.
We respect why even an old anti-Japanese hero who once defended the motherland with his own flesh and blood would be so disgusted with government officials.
Why are you so resistant? It is because many of our cadres have your kind of thinking. They keep climbing higher and trample the people under their feet. This will make the credibility of our government worse and worse, and the image of our government officials in the hearts of the people will become worse and worse.
Damn it! If you want to follow me, never act like the secretary of the executive deputy governor in front of the people, otherwise I will be the first to remove you!..."
This was a serious statement. Zhou Junlong was ashamed, wiped a cold sweat, and said quickly: "Governor Duan, I was wrong. I will definitely correct this wrong idea and serve the people in a down-to-earth manner! ...
…”.
Duan Zetao waved his hand and said solemnly: "Let's keep moving forward. When we get back from the coal mine investigation, we will go to Xiejia'ao to have a look. I must find out what the local government has done and why this old man is doing this.
Dislike government officials?!...".
At this time, in a mountain forest on the roadside a few kilometers ahead, a group of tough mountain people were holding sickles and axes hiding in the forest. The leader was a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek. This man
It was Xie Baping, the village chief of Xiejia'ao Village and the distant nephew of Xie Dongfeng, director of the Changshan City Public Security Bureau.
Dongfeng Shishi became the village chief of Xiejia'ao. As long as the poverty alleviation funds and subsidies allocated by the superiors passed through his hands, most of them would be embezzled and misappropriated. Therefore, the villagers called him "Xie Bapi". He gathered a group of people in the village.
Qingpi is an idle man who usually bullies men and women in the village and does all kinds of evil. The villagers hate and fear him.
The road leading to Xiejia'ao, because it is adjacent to the Xiejia'ao coal mine owned by Xie Youcai, was crushed by coal trucks. The villagers of Xiejia'ao were very dissatisfied, but Xie Babing got the benefits of the coal mine and kept suppressing the villagers.
They are allowed to make trouble, and the poverty alleviation funds allocated by their superiors
The money and subsidies were also embezzled by Xie Babing, leaving the villagers with very little money. However, Xie Babing lied to the villagers and said that his superiors had not allocated enough money. The villagers organized themselves to petition the county and city, but they
Xie Baping and his men coaxed and frightened him and stopped him halfway.
In addition to a few die-hard mazai under Xie Babing, those who came today also had some young and middle-aged mountain people who didn't know the truth, because Xie Babing told them that the superiors were originally planning to allocate funds to Xiejia'ao Village to build roads and make up for the shortage of land in Xiejia'ao Village.
However, the poverty alleviation funds were blocked by a high-ranking official in the province. Today, this high-ranking official happened to be inspecting the Xiejia'ao Coal Mine. As long as he was stopped and frightened, the road construction funds and subsidies for Xiejia'ao Village would be
It's settled.
The mountain people were relatively simple-minded and impulsive, and they didn't have a good impression of officials. After being encouraged by Xie Babing, they aggressively came to the highway to block Duan Zetao. This was why Xie Dongfeng did not tell Xie Babing the whole truth.
Said there is one in the province
When a high-ranking official comes down, he can reveal the news to the villagers, and ask the villagers to go to him to make trouble, and they can get the money. Xie Dongfeng's words are like an imperial edict to Xie Baping, and he doesn't think much about it. If he knew that he was the executive deputy governor,
I don't dare to come here even if I borrow ten of his courage.
At this time, they saw the off-road vehicle Duan Zetao and the others were riding in from a distance, bumping towards them. Xie Babing said hello, and the villagers raised their sickles and axes and rushed out of the forest menacingly, stopping Duan Zetao and the others' car.
.
"Officials, come out! Why don't you build roads for us? Why don't you give us poverty alleviation funds?!" The mountain people waved their sickles and axes and shouted in a variety of languages. They spoke in mountain dialect.
Duan Zetao and the others didn't understand anything else except the first sentence "official".
Oops, something happened! Feng Jinbo, who had been nervous all the time, felt his heart skip a beat, his face changed, and he quickly turned his head to Duan Zetao and said nervously: "Governor Duan, please sit in the car and don't get off, I'll deal with them!"
, said and turned to Zhou Junlong and Hu Tielong in the front row.
Said: "Junlong, you immediately call the Changshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor Wu and ask them to send police to protect Governor Duan. Tielong, you are responsible for protecting Governor Duan. If the momentum goes wrong, Junlong and I will stop Shan."
People, you take Governor Duan to the car and leave first...".
Duan Zetao just frowned and said very calmly: "Jinbo, don't be too nervous. I don't believe that in this bright world, there are still people who dare to openly go against me. I will go down to understand the situation first, and you don't come down!..."
