At dinner, Feng Yuxing ate with members of the Xiyun Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and drank some wine. However, since he was treating, he couldn't let Xiyun City pay, so as to avoid any flaws in his inspection.
After eating, returning to the hotel and taking a shower, he did not rest immediately. He was waiting for news from Tong Yangdong.
Make a pot of tea, light a cigarette, and relax yourself leisurely.
"The atmosphere among officials in Yuyuan City isn't very good, and the provincial capital boasts a relatively large number of large family businesses!" Feng Yuxing pondered Yan Baiyang's words. "Why didn't you report this directly to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, instead of having Yan Baiyang reveal this information to me? Is it inconvenient? Do the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have other protective umbrellas?"
"The influence of this umbrella of protection is too great. It directly affects the local policy agenda, making some local officials afraid to act rashly and turn a blind eye to illegal and disorderly activities! If it really exists, then this trend must be stopped!" He kept imagining.
It was almost 11pm, Feng Yuxing looked at the time.
He lit another cigarette, slowly walked to the small balcony, opened the window, looked out at the flashing neon lights of the city, let the damp and cool spring breeze of the night brush his face, and let his mind relax.
"Knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door.
He quickly went to open the door, and it was Tong Yangdong.
"Sit down! Have a cigarette first!" Feng Yuxing gave Tong Yangdong a cigarette and poured him a cup of tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, Tong Yangdong began to report his work results today to Feng Yuxing.
"Director, I haven't noticed any problems with the police stations and substations in Xiyun City. Of course, there are some who are lax at work, but it's not a big deal. They'll be corrected and warned! However, there's one strange thing, and it's about Yuyuan City!" Tong Yangdong said as he pulled out a file bag from his briefcase. "Director, take a look for yourself!"
"Who gave you this material?" Feng Yuxing took the file bag and asked.
"Director, you will never guess this person. He is Qiu Lezheng, the police chief of Yuyuan City!" Tong Yangdong's face showed confusion as he spoke.
"Oh! Let me see!" He opened it immediately and took out the materials inside to look at them.
"While chatting in Baiyang's office today, Yan Baiyang mentioned the situation in Yuyuan City, intentionally or unintentionally. Did business come so quickly yesterday?" Feng Yuxing's heart immediately jumped up, "Maybe something serious has happened!"
After Feng Yuxing finished reading the materials he had pulled out of the file bag, his face became very solemn. He looked at Tong Yangdong and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will go to Yuyuan City in plain clothes to understand the situation! I will go there at noon so that we can make time difference!"
The content of the materials shows that this is a case of land expropriation compensation.
Five years ago, a company called Yuyuanzhou New Energy Company was established in Yuyuan City. It is a comprehensive company integrating R&D, production and sales. It originally only produced two-wheeled electric vehicles, but two years ago it began to develop four-wheeled electric vehicles, that is, new energy vehicles.
The Yuyuanzhou New Energy Company is a leading industry in Yuyuan City, covering an area of more than 5,000 acres for production plants. Employees work in three shifts, providing more than 2,000 jobs for Yuyuan City.
The problem lies with the more than 5,000 acres of land. When the land was expropriated, it was done by the government and everything went smoothly. However, the compensation paid to the farmers was pitifully small, almost like robbery. The land owners involved were basically ordinary people in the same village.
The original promise was 60,000 yuan per mu, but when it reached the farmers, it was only 6,000 yuan, one zero missing. Add some subsidies for young crops, and the total amount was only about 10,000 yuan.
The land owners in Yuyuan Village were certainly not going to accept this. They gathered together and tried to use the power of their group visits to get the government to pay attention and resolve the issue of land expropriation compensation for them.
Their actions failed to produce the expected positive results, instead provoking a strong reaction from Yuyuan New Energy Company. Some of the leaders, due to their excessive radicalism, were charged with "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" and ultimately imprisoned, making this the largest land expropriation case in Yuyuan City's history.
In addition, among the people who have petitioned over the years, there are more than one hundred male villagers in Yuyuan Village, and without exception, they have all been accused of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" and have been imprisoned.
Many of them did not even know why they were convicted. They were ruthlessly thrown into prison simply for participating in the petitioning movement. For these families, life has become extremely difficult after losing their breadwinners.
"Yangdong, what do you think about this? What do you want to do? And what do you think of Yuyuan City Police Chief Qiu Lezheng's actions?"
After Feng Yuxing finished reading the materials, he gave a cigarette to Tong Yangdong, lit it himself, and looked at Tong Yangdong and asked.
"Director, I think Director Qiu Lezheng must have been under pressure from his superiors, or was being interfered with. He wanted to handle this case, but he couldn't. He could only rely on us to get it done.
I plan to go to the village tomorrow morning and find some locals to learn more about the situation. Once I have solid evidence, I'll start arresting the people. I'm not afraid they won't pay the remaining balance to the locals!"
Tong Yangdong expressed his overall approach to handling the case.
Feng Yuxing pondered for several minutes.
"Yang Dong, handling cases is your strong point, and your thinking just now is not wrong, but you overlooked an important question. Why has the news of these ordinary people not been able to reach the provincial capital for so many years, and why are the people who want to petition constantly being locked up?
Another issue is that the residents of Yuyuan Village all signed the land acquisition consent form. This is a scheme to deceive the people, and it is difficult to obtain evidence.
At that time, they will insist that the compensation was agreed upon by the people of Yuyuan Village, and those who later regretted it were in breach of contract!
This means that this company has reached the point where it has completely controlled everything! Even the people of Yuyuan Village who want to leave Yuyuan City are controlled;
This isn't something that this company alone could have accomplished; government officials are definitely involved! It's the same thing: you arrive at the village and learn nothing, or you can't even enter the village. Even if you could, the villagers wouldn't necessarily dare to tell you anything!
As for Qiu Lezheng, we cannot say that he is a bad person, but at least he has failed to perform his duties. For so many years, he did not have the courage to report to the provincial party committee and provincial government. Now he gives the materials directly to you, which is just a cunning act on his part.
He gave you the materials directly for two reasons: first, he didn't want us to find out and label him as lazy; second, he was testing me to see if I dared to deal with these large family-owned enterprises in the provincial capital and the officials involved!
Feng Yuxing's tone was very bad when he said this.
