After Lu Rui heard what Yu Dong said, he didn't follow him. Instead, he asked with some doubts.
Yu Dong frowned and glanced at Lu Rui, and then said slowly: "I just think that this happened just when Secretary Cheng went to the municipal committee to run a project, and the mayor was about to run for new community construction funds.
, it’s really a bit strange.”
"Then tell me, what's so weird about it?" Lu Rui asked calmly.
Yu Dong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, glanced at He Guocheng and Ma Xiangdong beside him, and then said: "If you tell me something that the mayor doesn't like to hear, what do the people below know! Even if they know that the money they get is more than what they originally promised
At most, we can just go to the village committee to make trouble. Those who are brave may come to our town government to make trouble. How can ordinary people have the courage to go to the mining area to make trouble? That is the country's place. The big companies in the capital will care about our countryside.
people?"
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the expressionless Lu Rui and said: "The strangest thing about this matter is not that the compensation was withheld, but why the people went to the developer to make trouble. I think there must be someone involved here.
Fan the flames, otherwise there would never be such a big fuss."
"You mean, is there someone deliberately trying to muddy the waters? But what's the benefit of this?"
Yu Dong smiled and said nothing. If his analysis just now was bolder, he was simply doubting some leaders in the town, and the word spread could be big or small. Therefore, he naturally stopped talking.
Lu Rui closed his eyes and said nothing. Several people got into the jeep that the county party committee had just assigned to the Hejia Town Government and drove towards Chenjiazhuang.
Not long after the time passed, Lu Rui heard Ma Xiangdong's voice: "Mayor, Chenjiazhuang has arrived. There is construction in front of us. It seems that they are still noisy."
Slowly opening his eyes, the expressionless Lu Rui said lightly: "Let's go down and have a look." For some reason, Yu Dong saw a cold light flashing in Lu Rui's eyes. He couldn't help but feel sad.
He shuddered. He had heard about the young mayor's outburst. It looked like someone was going to be in trouble today.
Looking from a distance, a large group of people are gathering at the construction site. The gate of the construction site has been blocked by angry people. A large group of people are densely surrounded. It seems that there are hundreds of people there.
Looking from a distance, Lu Rui saw Xu Dong, the director of the Hejia Town Police Station. It seemed that this guy was very smart and did not intensify the conflict. He just kept explaining something to the crowd. However, he looked at the crowd at the scene.
Lu Rui felt that his persuasion would not be effective.
The jeep was not driving very fast, and someone had already noticed such a big car approaching from a distance. In an instant, a large group of people gathered around it.
"It's the mayor, it's Mayor Lu who's here." Xu Dong's sharp eyes saw Lu Rui's figure, and he shouted to the crowd from a high place, and a burst of noise suddenly came from the crowd.
Lu Rui opened the car door and got out of the car without saying anything, and walked straight towards the gate of the construction site. When the people nearby saw He Guocheng and Ma Xiangdong standing beside Lu Rui, their voices became quieter. Many people
He even quietly put away the "weapons" in his hands.
"Mayor? Is that young man the mayor?"
"Isn't that right? Brother Daniu and I met him in the county town."
"No, I think he is about the same age as you. Could he be the mayor of Hejia Town?"
"What do you know? He is a big shot, someone who has studied in college, or someone as powerful as the old secretary, they all have to listen to him."
"What's wrong with the old secretary? The big shots have to let me eat, right? Even if the King of Heaven comes, he still has to let us eat, right?"
Xu Dong came to Lu Rui, saluted and said: "Mayor, Xu Dong from the Hejia Town Police Station is reporting to you."
Lu Rui nodded and smiled at him. He was still satisfied with the police station chief. He did not take sides, but maintained order and did not let the situation expand beyond control.
"Director Xu is good at it. It seems that your horse racing bureau's daily work is very solid."
Xu Dong laughed sheepishly and whispered to Lu Rui: "Mayor, the person inside seems to be the boss of the construction company in Beijing. He is very arrogant. I tried to communicate with him, but he didn't even open the door.
.”
Lu Rui waved his hand and interrupted him. This was not the time to consider those issues. The top priority now was to control the situation and prevent it from turning into a vicious mass incident. Otherwise, not only himself, but also the entire Shun'an County would be in trouble.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Rui. I believe many villagers have heard of me, and some people have seen me some time ago. Today, I have nothing else to do here. I just want to listen to your opinions.
If you have anything, you can tell me." Lu Rui turned around and shouted loudly facing the crowd.
The crowd fell into silence, followed by a commotion, and then someone started to hide behind and say weird things at the top of their lungs, and the crowd started laughing.
"You guys, what's your attitude! If he makes trouble again, I'll arrest him!" Xu Dong's face was livid. Not only him, but even Ma Xiangdong couldn't hold back his anger. He shouted loudly and was about to have an attack.
.
Lu Rui glanced at them. Please don't look at what's going on now. Talking nonsense will cause trouble. When he opened his mouth to persuade, he suddenly noticed a scream from the large group of people. He took a closer look and saw that just now
Some people who said strange things were beaten.
"He Daniu, you are crazy, why should you beat me?" A young man in his early twenties got up from the ground, pointed at a big man and cursed loudly. Before he finished speaking, several people who said strange things were beaten next to him.
I saw three middle-aged men in their forties, holding bowl-sized sticks in their hands, beating those people on their heads and faces.
The people who were beaten were stunned, and the people nearby were also a little dumbfounded. Someone familiar shouted: "Brothers of the Chen family, you are crazy, why are you beating a relative from your hometown?"
"Fellows? These are the bastards I beat up... Are you talking nonsense like that? You dare say Mayor Lu, if I don't beat you, I'll be sorry for your ancestors!"
Lu Rui was stunned and looked carefully, but found that he had no impression of those middle-aged men. He did know He Daniu. They had a friendship with Bi Taijian when they fought in the county market a few months ago. However,
Which side are these middle-aged men from? I saw that the leader was about forty-five or six years old, with a big body and a round waist, and a very vicious face. He didn't look like a good guy. If he were on the street, he would be...
Scared children crying.
Not only that, this man seemed to be very prestigious in Chenjiazhuang. When he shouted at the crowd, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet. He turned his head and smiled at Lu Rui. He reached out and pulled another middle-aged man beside him and said: "Mayor,
Don’t you remember? A while ago, you had a fight with Bit Taijian over this kid and paid for his medical bills. Isn’t this him? My incompetent third brother Chen Wanchun.”
After saying that, he turned around and shouted to everyone: "Our mayor is a very good person. A few days ago, because my third brother was bullied, he had a fight with all the officials in the county. Afterwards, the mayor gave the third brother the money.
Medical expenses, you think, can such a cadre be a bad person?"
The crowd suddenly became quiet, because the village is not big, so everyone knew that Chen Wanchun was beaten and injured by a group of gangsters when he went to the county town to sell vegetables. I heard that he met a big shot and saved his life.
However, he did not expect that it would be the young mayor in front of him.
Lu Rui didn't expect to meet the beaten person here. At that time, he was busy talking to the Lin family brothers and sisters, but he forgot about this person. Thinking of this, he glanced at the crowd, but was surprised.
Lin Ruolan's figure was spotted in the distance, but she was standing in the distance at this time, surrounded by a large group of children.
For some reason, Lu Rui always felt that there was some distance between him and the eldest lady of the Lin family. Although he couldn't understand why she, a wealthy eldest daughter, did not enjoy the glory and wealth of the capital, but came to this poor and remote place to endure hardships, but Lu Rui
His instinct tells him that this seemingly amiable woman is definitely not something someone like him can get close to. Just like Yangchun Baixue and a lower-class person cannot be compared, he, an ordinary person from a grassroots background, is too far away from the world of that girl.
.
Glancing at the crowd that had become quiet because of the Chen brothers' intervention, Lu Rui couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The people of China are always the cutest people. Even if he has been forced to a dead end, just because
I had helped them once, but just because I stepped in to stop them, these people decisively chose to believe in me, and the reason was just what I just said.
Thinking of those officials in later generations who would often make cowhide noises on high platforms, but always use Tai Chi push hands to coax the common people around, and then looking at the simple faces in front of them, Lu Rui's eyes became a little moist.
These are the people who have been deceived by officials for decades. The previous leader assured them, they believed it, and then they were deceived. The next leader assured them, they believed it again, and then they were deceived again. The cycle of life continues.
, but their lives have not improved at all, and what about the officials who appeased them with lies? One after another, they have become prosperous and prosperous in officialdom. If ordinary people make mistakes, they will be held accountable even if it takes more than ten or twenty years. What about the officials?
Lu Rui doesn't know what kind of person he will become, whether he will lose himself in the big dye vat of officialdom, but now he knows that he must not let down the people in front of him, no matter what the promoters behind him want, at least
, he did one thing right, and that was to let himself know about this matter that was related to the interests of the people in Chenjiazhuang.
