"It's settled. My fellow villagers, where are there so many lawsuits to fight?" Chen Taizhong was very happy to hear the news. What he hoped for most was reconciliation, "Let them come in."
Li Dagazi and Liu Laoer walked in with their heads open. Their purpose of coming here was to personally inform District Chief Chen. Unexpectedly, they were taken into the District Chief's home, which was where the county magistrate lived.
What surprised them even more was what happened later. District Chief Chen asked with a smile, "Come here now, haven't you eaten yet? Xiao Liao, call Manager Ma and ask her..."
"No, no," Li Shouren waved his hands hurriedly and replied with a smile, "We came here after a meal and we were quite full. Thank you, District Chief Chen."
"Then get them two bottles of German dark beer and say while drinking," Chen Taizhong raised his chin. After dinner, he was used to drinking beer as water, especially after meeting Huang Hanxiang, "Master
You guys don’t know how to drink beer, right?”
"Drink, you must try German beer," Liu Laoer nodded dully, but Li Dagazi was more tactful than him, "Thank you so much, district chief."
Wang Yuanyuan brought the beer and opened it. Li Shouren took it and looked at it carefully. He squatted on the ground and drank without sitting on a chair. Liu Laoer had already sat on the sofa. Seeing him like this, after taking two sips of beer,
He stood up and looked at the wine bottle under the lamp, then squatted on the ground.
District Chief Chen glanced at the two of them and said, "Let's drink while sitting. Isn't it uncomfortable if you squat down?"
"People in the village are used to it," Li Dagazi bared his teeth, revealing yellow and black teeth, "right. Brother Liu?"
"My clothes are not clean. I'm afraid the sofa will be dirty," Liu Laoer rolled his eyes at him, emphasizing his difference.
Is this reconciliation? District Chief Chen found it interesting. "What was the final result of your negotiation?"
"I'll pay him two thousand and five thousand," Liu Laoer heard this and snorted angrily. "According to my original intention, I won't pay a penny. Is it reasonable to eat my seedlings?"
"Stop talking about it, my cow can be sold now for at least nine thousand yuan," Li Dagazi was dissatisfied. He glared at the other party fiercely, "You only compensate me two thousand five thousand yuan, and you don't have to pay all of it yourself..."
If I didn't respect District Chief Chen, I wouldn't reconcile with you even if I killed you."
"Not all?" Chen Taizhong looked at Liu Laoer strangely.
"Secretary Jiang from the township has said that he wants me to speak out and popularize legal concepts to the villagers. The township will give me a subsidy of 2,000 yuan. I will just pay 500 yuan myself," said Liu Laoer and glared at Li Dagazi again.
He glanced at it and said, "Five hundred yuan, I don't want to pay you a penny. Please remember it, Dagazi."
This sounds like he is trying to get something cheap, but in fact, he really thinks so. For the villagers in Zhuoshui Township, five hundred yuan is not a small amount, let alone an unnecessary disaster.
It turned out that Jiang Shuangliang had played a role. Chen Taizhong understood a little bit. It was probably his buddies who had intervened, and the result of the mediation was not very optimistic. Lao Jiang was originally worried about something happening, but later he felt that the pressure was even greater, so the villagers found a name.
, advance part of it in order to resolve this dispute.
Otherwise, the work of these grassroots cadres is of great significance. If they work well, many disputes will be nipped in the bud, and it will also directly affect the public's perception of the government.
But at the same time, the efforts of grassroots staff are also the most easily ignored - if you do well, you should, but if you do poorly... as long as you are good at finding reasons and have people to intercede, it will not affect your promotion.
"Secretary, don't be dissatisfied," Li Dagazi snorted, "Secretary Jiang is absolutely right about you. You don't need to be so cruel to prevent theft. You just want to harm others."
"I will retaliate against anyone who gnaws on my seedlings. Did I ask you to harm me?" Liu Laoer's thinking is really traditional. He answered confidently, "Next time I will find a more serious medicine."
Jiang Shuangliang even hit Liu Laoer. Chen Taizhong raised his hand to drink beer, but his mind was thinking that Lao Jiang coordinated this matter with both soft and hard tactics.
"Okay, I'm not going to tell you the truth," Li Dagazi didn't look like a "gazi" at all now. He shook his head with a smile and raised his hand to drink beer, "That is to say, District Chief Chen said that I was not honest in what I did. I reflected on it,
I decided to respect District Chief Chen’s opinion, otherwise, huh, you think I’m so easy to talk to, and those Miao people from your Liu family... I still don’t take it seriously.”
This is true. No matter how good Jiang Shuangliang's work is, he can't stand up to Lan Yingying's RMB. The reason why Li Shouren made such a concession was because he was afraid of Chen Taizhong's warning.
One afternoon was enough for him to find out how the new district mayor behaved.
Catching people from Huacheng and robbing cars in the city are all trivial. Saving people from the fire and donating blood in hospitals show that this is a district chief who cares about the people. What happened recently is that he directly killed the traffickers.
Family members, relatives and friends caught Beichong.
Even the little girl was brought back in handcuffs. How unreasonable and cruel is this? But District Chief Chen did it.
It has been less than three months since the young district chief officially came to Beichong, but there are already too many legends about him...
Li Shouren made some calculations and decided that he really couldn't afford to be cared about by District Mayor Chen, and if someone spoke up, he would lose ten times as much - looking at various past records, District Chief Chen was not a braggart.
So even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to file a complaint. People dare to arrest even little girls. Is there anything else that he would not dare to do?
Well, since Jiang Shuangliang insisted on mediating, he would just say that I was responding to the district chief's call and was not on the same level as him.
"It's good that you can give me face," District Chief Chen nodded and spoke seriously, "but I hope you can realize the importance of morality. Today I can speak harshly to you with confidence.
Not because I am the district chief, but because I support China’s traditional moral values and I have a clear conscience.”
"There really aren't many people who talk about morality nowadays. People's hearts are corrupted," Liu Laoer snorted heavily and glared at Li Dagazi.
"Who are you talking about?" Li Shouren asked coldly. It was obvious that the two men had reconciled, but neither of them felt very comfortable.
"Okay, everything has been settled. Why are we still fighting a lawsuit?" Chen Taizhong scolded. He could understand the reluctance of these two people, but the situation has been peaceful, so there is no need to cause any more troubles. "Drink."
After drinking for a while, District Chief Chen felt that something was wrong, "Li Shouren. According to the result of your negotiation, you will be responsible for the remaining 6,500 yuan in losses?"
This amount of money is nothing to District Chief Chen, but in the eyes of Beichong people, it is a real huge sum of money. Let alone ordinary farmers, Liao Dabao would probably be reluctant to spend such a sum of money on water.
drift.
Reconciliation is good, but if it is boiled into rice and there are any bad consequences in the future, it will lose its original intention.
"I want more, but Liu Laoer won't give it to me." Li Shouren replied with a wry smile. "District Chief Chen, you also gave instructions. It's pointless for the villagers to litigate. I am also wrong in this matter, so I admit it."
"Tch," Liu Laoer snorted disdainfully, but didn't say anything more.
"Liu Lao Er, don't you accept his favor?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him and was a little angry. If you go to court according to the law, you will definitely lose. If they want to settle with you, the township has already paid part of the cost. Even if you occupy
He has reached the moral high ground, but is his status as a legally illiterate... something to be proud of?
"He didn't lose that much," Liu Laoer replied in a sullen voice, "This cow has made him money."
"If you say that again, Liu Laoer, I won't reconcile with you," Li Dagazi glared, "No matter how much money I make, it's still my own, and I just want you to compensate me..."
District Chief Chen, you saw that this guy didn’t know what to do first.”
"If you tell me these rude things again, believe it or not, I will lock you up for two days?" Chen Taizhong looked at him coldly, "If you have something to say, are you, the wicked one, justified?"
"I really didn't make any money from this cow." Li Dagazi was also afraid of District Mayor Chen, so he counted it with his fingers. "I spent ten thousand and five hundred to buy the cow. I sold the milk for less than two years and made real money."
The price is less than 9,000 yuan. This cow can produce milk for at least two more years. If I sell it casually, can I still sell it for 9,000 yuan?"
"Not to mention those expectations, I made less than 9,000 yuan. Including the 2,500 yuan you compensated me, the total is only 11,000 yuan. It seems that I made a few hundred yuan. How much hard work did I have to do?
" He laid out the accounts clearly, "Now that we have settled this way, we really have to calculate it carefully. I have to pay more than you... This is to respect District Chief Chen, Liu Laoer, don't show any shame."
"Is that how you settled the account?" Liu Laoer snorted coldly but made no rebuttal.
Li Dagazi is indeed sincere, Chen Taizhong thinks so. The key is that this cow can still produce milk for two years. Li Shouren has admitted the shortfall in these two years. So, although there is a suspicion of poor supervision, he has already shouldered enough responsibilities.
.
"If you don't calculate it this way, how should you calculate it?" Li Dagazi was very dissatisfied with this answer - he had paid enough.
"Then it's up to you, let's just settle it like this," Liu Laoer didn't say much in defense. He just muttered slightly, "If the cow dies, doesn't there still be meat?"
His muttering voice was very soft, so soft that most people couldn't hear it, but Chen Taizhong heard it and frowned, "Why, can this beef be sold?"
"This beef must be destroyed immediately and must not be sold," Li Dagazi replied sternly, "How can the meat of a poisoned cow be sold? This is not in line with...socialist ethics, what do you think, Liu Laoer?"
"That's nonsense. Are you talking about morality with me?" Liu Laoer didn't buy the other person's face at all. "You're really talking about morality. Are you going to let your cows into my field?"
"I mean, my cows have been buried, what do you say?" Li Shouren was a little annoyed, "You saw it with your own eyes."
Chapter 3549 Case within a case (Part 2)
"Yeah," Liu Laoer nodded absently and raised his hand to drink beer. He didn't want to say those things that went against his will.
He knew very well that it was true that the Li family's cattle had been bought by others, but he could avoid the lawsuit and only needed a mere five hundred yuan, so he didn't want to get into trouble, although he thought that he could not even do this.
You shouldn't have to pay even five hundred yuan.
Poisoned beef? Chen Taizhong's face darkened again after hearing this. It would be serious if this meat spread, "Liu Laoer, did you see Li Dagazi burying the cow with your own eyes?"
I saw with my own eyes that he sold the cows, not buried them! Liu Laoer didn't know how to answer this question, because he knew one link very well - Li Dagazi sold the cows, so the loss was reduced. Otherwise, he would have lost two thousand yuan.
Five, it’s really not enough compensation.
"I didn't see whether Li Shouren buried the cow," Liu Laoer made a decision immediately. He didn't have to pay for someone's mistakes. "I decided to pay him anyway."
"It's terrible that this beef is leaking out," Chen Taizhong sighed softly.
"It's nothing serious. It's just meat," Liu Laoer disagreed with this statement. "It'll be fine once it's cooked. Growing up, I ate five or six plague pigs... In Beichong,
There is no way this pig will be buried, no matter how plagued it is, someone will eat it."
Chen Taizhong was speechless immediately. He had encountered this problem in Phoenix.
From a scientific point of view, when swine fever or chicken fever breaks out, what city people want to do is burn and bury them to isolate the infection, and animals that have died of the disease cannot be eaten.
But country people definitely don't see it that way. No one will tolerate it. Burying whole chickens or pigs underground - Damn, this is a complete waste.
No matter how contagious it is, if it's burned, boiled, fried, or fried... I don't believe you can still be infected again.
People in rural areas have always adhered to this logic - mainly because they are reluctant to bury those things.
"Your statement is very simple," Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, looked at Li Shouren again, and spoke softly, "Tell me the truth, cow... have you buried it?"
"I... didn't bury it, sold it," Li Dagazi hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth. He couldn't afford the gamble. If Liu Laoer didn't say anything now, he would turn around and tilt his mouth at the district chief, that would be the end of it.
"Sell...you can't sell that cow for three thousand yuan." Chen Taizhong understood a little bit why Li Dagazi had given in. He had already made a profit, but it was just a little less. "You are too wicked.
"
"I only sold it for two thousand and two, and the poisoned meat is cheap," Li Shouren replied sarcastically, "It's not that I'm wicked, it's that someone came to my door and wanted to buy it."
"I asked you to buy it, and you will sell it?" District Chief Chen was a little angry, "It will kill people!"
"There...must be a way to deal with this," Li Dagazi replied hesitantly. To the villagers, throwing away a large piece of meat was simply unimaginable and unforgivable, and he was not one of them.
There is no fuss at all, "When I sell, they will ensure that they can handle it well. I don't dare to sell it randomly, right?"
"Who bought this meat?" District Chief Chen asked with a stern face. He must investigate this matter to the end.
"It's the two brothers from the Feng family in Huacheng, Feng Bao and Feng Le." This time it was not Li Dagazi who answered, but Liu Lao'er. "They specialize in collecting the meat of large animals, even if they are alive or dead. They deal with large animals."
The meat is very experienced.”
Chen Taizhong hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "Then we should arrest him first."
The influence of customs is really terrible. He had to sigh. If this happened in Fenghuang or Subo, he would definitely order the arrest of the person immediately and the poisoned animal meat must be disposed of.
But at this moment, he actually had a slight hesitation. This was obviously because the villagers' common understanding affected his thinking. Fortunately, in the end, he still insisted on his opinion.
People in Beichong now have no psychological pressure at all when going to Huacheng to arrest people. When the police on duty received a call from District Chief Chen, they immediately expressed their position. Is poisoned beef going to the market? This problem is serious. Please don’t worry, District Chief.
We will set off now and try to intercept this batch of beef before they finish processing it.
The attitude of the police is really upright. Although District Chief Chen has brought a lot of things to the branch after he took office, but when you have things to do, you can get extra money, right? Not to mention that now almost everyone in the branch has a car, and everyone is very enthusiastic about doing things.
Very high.
Chen Taizhong was also very satisfied with this response. Firstly, the branch office used it very smoothly, and secondly... no matter what the villagers thought, at least the police had the same understanding as him, and poisoned beef could not flow to the market.
At about 6:40 the next morning, District Chief Chen came to Yang Boming's house again. This time after he finished the massage, he left a clay pot with a dark liquid in it. "This is my homemade Chinese medicine. Every day
Take three spoonfuls at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening, on an empty stomach. After ten days, I will come over and give her a massage."
The young district chief was really fed up, so he just thought of this lazy way. Anyway, in addition to massage, Chinese medicine bone setting also requires taking medicine. Not taking medicine would seem abnormal.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Upon hearing this, Yang Da Nier sobbed again and held on to his hand tightly.
After everyone asked for a while, they found out that she heard that the district chief's uncle would not come again soon, and she felt uncomfortable. Yang Tofu scolded her, saying how much does uncle do every day, Da Nier, in ten days. The district chief's uncle will
coming.
Yang Zixuan only shed tears and said nothing. When Chen Taizhong saw this, he could only persuade her with a few words. He said that your father is back and is in the hospital. He has been better in the past two days. You should also pay more attention to your father. He wanted to save you.
, but fighting with so many bad guys - you are no longer young, you must learn to respect your parents.
After much talk, Yang Zixuan's attention was finally diverted. It was already seven o'clock when District Chief Chen walked out. He called the branch and learned that the Feng brothers had been arrested and thousands of kilograms were seized at the scene.
The livestock meat has been brought to Beichong.
He really wants to know how these people deal with this poisoned and diseased animal meat. Firstly, this meat product may flow to Beichong. He must learn to identify it. Secondly, how big can the meat be after it is processed?
Toxic residues.
When he arrived at the branch, the police were conducting a surprise interrogation. District Chief Chen had no intention of watching the interrogation process. However, a police officer introduced to him that after general observation, these meat dealers mainly used caustic soda or formalin to soak the meat.
.
For example, if a large animal died of poisoning, they also explained that they would deal with it in a targeted manner. If the poison was concentrated in the internal organs, then the relevant organs would be removed and thrown away. After all, they were doing this to make money, not to kill people.
There are also related treatment methods for blood poisoning, but they are unwilling to explain this treatment method in detail. They also say that this is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation and cannot be disclosed to others casually.
However, the police believe that as the interrogation progresses, these people will have to speak out.
What makes people angry is that some of the meat has actually flowed into Beichong. District Chief Chen is concerned about whether there is a reliable identification method to prevent everyone from being harmed.
“There are no good suggestions at the moment,” the police officer who received him smiled wryly and shook his head, “so we have always emphasized that when buying meat products, don’t be afraid of the price. Buy fresh, buy well-made, don’t be afraid of the price of what you put in your mouth, and come from the right place.
"
"But a lot of people just want to take advantage of it, and some people say it won't kill anyone anyway." At this point, he waved his hands helplessly, "After all, it's still too poor."
"It's so poor..." District Chief Chen sighed softly. Before he could say anything else, he saw Zhu Fenqi walking from the corridor. "The people on guard over there in Huacheng caught a horse owner and gave him sick and dead horse meat."
Yes, do you want to bring it back?"
"Bring it back," Chen Taizhong waved his hand. He was very concerned about the illegal behavior of non-Beichong people. "You know that he died of illness, but you still send him away... Isn't this a trap? Find out if there are any criminal records.
"
"Well, he took the initiative to give it away?" The next moment, he frowned slightly, glanced sideways at Zhu Fenqi, and asked thoughtfully, "They came to collect Li Dagazi's cattle, right?
?”
"That's right," Director Zhu nodded blankly at first, then suddenly excited, "You mean?"
"Li Dagazi's home is at the east end of the village, and Liu Laoer's fields are at the west end of the village," Chen Taizhong spoke slowly, his brows furrowed tightly all the time.
"Holy shit," Zhu Fenqi understood what the district chief meant in an instant. He was a veteran policeman for many years and was best at making assumptions. "You wouldn't say that someone specially lured this cow to Liu Laoer's field.
Right?"
"I just can't figure it out. Where did a few farmers from Huacheng get so much experience in dealing with deaths from diseases and poisoning animal meat?" Chen Taizhong's brows were still furrowed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He was really a little angry.
He had always thought that Li Dagazi and Liu Laoer had been tossing too much, and such a big noise had attracted the people who harvested the dead animals. But when he thought about it, there were animals in Huacheng that died of illness, and it was the owners who took the initiative to send them away.
If meat comes to the door, then this becomes suspicious.
When a horse is sick until it dies, the owner will definitely have to seek help and treatment from everywhere. If the Feng brothers really want to specialize in making meat from dead horses, they should have a relationship with the relevant veterinarians, so as not to wait for the other party to send the meat.
Of course, this may be a means to lower prices, but if you think about it broadly, you can't help but think it is a suspicious point - not knowing that there is meat locally, but going to other places to collect meat.
"I will immediately arrange for people from Zhuoshui Police Station to investigate." Director Zhu took this speculation very seriously. He comforted the young district chief, "Things in the village are easy to investigate."
Sure enough, at eight o'clock, a call came from Zhuoshui Police Station, saying that in the west end of the village, some playful children had seen children of similar age playing with cows with corn cobs.
Beichong is a remote place, and it is rare to steal large livestock. It is really common for children from farmers to tease other people's livestock. However, the children in the village insist on two points. One is that the child is not from the village; the other is that what happened later
